Join us as we begin our countdown of Double Exposure's Top Ten films of 2013!
Yearbook: Max Nelson
Like every year in this strange stretch of film history, with its Venn-Diagram-overlap between small-screen and big-screen moviegoing, digital and celluloid projection, home video and streaming, and grassroots and studio funding, 2013 was confusing, noisy, rattled, and disjointed.
