Q5) 1983
Yes, genre films, in general, don't tend to do well. Comedies don't fare too well either, because it seems you have to be weighty and serious (musicals very, but again, usually don't get the biggest ones either). I must confess that this year I haven't followed the films at all. I used to go to the cinema with my mother before the pandemic, usually on the cheaper day, but now that coincides with one of my classes, so between one thing and the other... (I have watched Being the Ricardos on Amazon Prime, but... not sure how it compares to the rest of the performances because I haven't watched them). I am more interested in the Jane Campion film. I've tried to follow her career over the years and she keeps taking risks.
I hope the tests go well. Here the weather was better today, but it's supposed to get worse again tomorrow or Wednesday.
