Dara reviews his year in watching on screens big and small over the last twelve months. Some of the obvious big 2023 releases are covered, including Oppenheimer, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon and Anatomy of a Fall, but also mentioned are older movies that were watched during the year at home – Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr.Ripley, for example, or Paul Schrader’s Hardcore.
