Not that it was really the best film experience of the year, but I've chosen to mention seeing Fritz Lang's Cloak and Dagger (1946) in 35mm at the Shimo Takaido Cinema, a small independent theater not far from my apartment—reason being that I'm in favor of the institution of the neighborhood theater, in favor of leaving the house to go see something on the screen, like a Fritz Lang film (especially a minor one, which needs all the help it can get). To appreciate how meticulously he's directed the actors' hands and movements the viewer should confront the film as a vast alien space, just as the last 15 minutes of Cloak and Dagger should be seen projected bright and crisp in a dark theater so that the love and energy Lang put into orchestrating his mini-symphony of architectural-model-like work (a house of Italian partisans under Fascist siege at night, a forest for the heroes to cross in peril, a small field for a hurried plane landing) can be seen and felt; and to appreciate all this fully, one should be in a theater with strangers whose responses to the film can't be known, so that the whole experience, form and feeling combined, is charged with that secret electricity (in the consciousness that each moment, furtive as it is, is also irrevocable) that once belonged to cinema.
