Youssef Chahine |
Folks
Over 700,000 page views and another birthday. The year saw almost a triple dead heat but finally controversy beat out authority and cinephilia to record a narrow victory.
The two most popular posts over 2019/20 were. (Click to read).
Tom Ryan on MIFF's caving in to the forces of darkness
and
David Stratton giving his thoughts on MIFF's decision
Followed by
Peter Hourigan alerting us to Netflix screening a large chunk of Youssef Chahine's master cinema
and followed by
Karl Quinn's response to Tom and David
But getting back to more regular pursuits, other popular posts, not in any order especially because I left out the immensely popular items abusing Australia Post and allowing the film censors and the punishers and straighteners to make themselves look ridiculous, were:
David Hare on a new Hitchcock boxset in UHD 4K
