Happy New Year!

1. Killers of the Flower Moon [Martin Scorsese]
2. Allensworth [James Benning]
3. Showing Up [Kelly Reichardt]
4. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (or Wes Anderson’s Roald Dahl Quartet) [Wes Anderson]
5. 怪物 / Monster [Hirokazu Kore-eda]
6. May December [Todd Haynes]
7. R.M.N. [Cristian Mungiu]
8. 君たちはどう生きるか / The Boy and the Heron [Hayao Miyazaki]
9. Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros [Frederick Wiseman]
10. Master Gardener [Paul Schrader]

Revived/restored contender:
Squirrels to the Nuts [Peter Bogdanovich] - Posthumous release of Bogdanovich's preferred cut, it was given a one-week run at MoMA in 2022 with the qualification that they were still securing funds to do a final, polished mix (which would even involve ADR, probably for technical reasons) and final color grading for the film.
