HOW IT WORKS
Start with a subject, filmmaker, world, historical perspective, or genre you want to understand better.
Each film has a spoiler-light reason for its position and one idea worth carrying into the viewing.
The bridge to the next movie explains what changes, deepens, or deliberately contrasts with what came before.
