Every Film I Watch In 2023:
280. The Apartment (1960) -- customary New Years Eve rewatch
of course bonus:
#the apartment#the apartment (1960)#2023filmgifs#my gifs#i started early this NYE cos i knew it would take ages to gif#this film i know intimately and love fiercely#and i didn't wanna miss the Letterboxd cutoff on New Zealand time#i love this film so much#it is truly the perfect film#with the perfect script#and the perfect score#how the music echoes the rhythm of Baxter's machine#and the marching of corporate feet#which came first?#did Wilder demand the score match Jackie's nodding to the machine#and Shirley the quintessential sad girl with the glowing smile#and yet you love her so so much#there is nothing cliche about her#all others who came after her are feeble imitations#it's such a dark movie with so much threat of suicide#and yet it is the most loveliest hopeful of movies#no wonder i love it so much#280 films this year all giffed#which is a minuscule amount for me#but the giffing did eat into a lot of the time#no regrets at all#next year i will not be giffing EVERY film#and i will not be trying to elevate any genre above the others#it will be watch whatever i want#and rewatch ALL the faves
