For filmgoers, it was a year of mortal dread. The screen went dark, like a coffin nailed shut, and is still like that in many places. Faith in cinema as we ve known it was rattled, challenged, and endangered with a Biblical overtone; it s a plague we re dealing with, after all. It was a year unlike any other we had seen before in the 125 years since cinema was invented.
