30-Day Film Challenge: un ejercicio mental.
Un reto como este—y surgido de las redes sociales—es perfecto para hacer hincapié en nuestro “canon” de películas predilectas; de recordarlas y situarlas en un momento divertido que te recuerda el por qué siguen formando parte de tu vida—para bien o para mal, claro está.
Es tu festival privado de películas. Therefore, this is a heavily curated list, as it should be. Enjoy.
