And with that, my Christmas of Film experiment comes to an end.
There were a couple of pleasant surprises, with both Eyes Wide Shut and AK vs AK being set around Christmas which I was not aware of prior to watching them.
No Country for Old Men takes first spot out of the movies I have watched over the last ten days. The tension and the philosophical undertones are hard to beat - truly a modern classic.
Heat was the most disappointing in that I had much higher expectations of it than what it ended up being.
There were a couple of films I watched which I haven't logged here - Zanjeer and Deewar - because I don't have anything meaningful to say about them just yet, and also because I did not watch them with my full attention. Perhaps another day.
The greatest gift this period has given me is the space to consume lengthier films to their fullest without worrying about being in the office the next morning.
Movies shall hopefully continue to remain an integral part of my life in 2025, and if not, at least I can come back to this mausoleum of experience some day and reminisce in the shadow of a scene or two I bothered to put down in the written word from each film.
Here's to another year of film ahead.
