2023 Blind Spot Series Announcement

 

Another year is coming to an end as this year's Blind Spot Series is set to close with Pedro Costa's Letters from Fonthainas trilogy as it was better than the previous year due to the fact that I was able to watch films that were available on streaming services or on DVD/Blu-Ray. The next year will be no different but once again, I decide to mix things up as all of these films are set in the second half of the 20th Century. This time, no more film series or trilogies for the time being with the exception of one film being a TV miniseries. Rather than have all of the films be from the Criterion Collection as it was difficult to obtain some of these films on DVD/Blu-Ray. I decided that the 2023 edition will have films as half of them are available on Criterion as so far I have 4 of those films for next year's series. Then there's other Blu-Ray labels and such but also films available on various streaming services as I am set to leave the world of cable television for good and more into the unknown of the streaming world. Once again, I wanted to mix things up in not just genres but also in diversity as two of the Blind Spots are films directed by women. Here are the films for the 2023 Blind Spot Series in chronological order:

The Quiet Man by John Ford
