NETFLIX FILM EXPERIENCES 2020

By José Alberto Hermosillo

With well-elaborated exhibits, more screenings, Q&As, and special events, Netflix reached out to more press and social media and had the attention of Academy members.

Without any surprises, Netflix received more Oscar nominations than any other Studio 24, including two for Best Picture, two for Best Animation, two documentaries, and one for Documentary Short. Disney, the closest contender, had 23 nods for all its productions.

This year, without any controversies, the streaming service showed its films for seven days in movie theaters in the Los Angeles area before its streaming platform.

Netflix's aggressive campaign and spirit for excellence and customer service yielded success with more nominations and, at the same time, with more online subscribers regardless of the recent increment in the subscription fees.

The public could appreciate the films on the big screen and assist with Q&As with the directors, talent, and crew members. Plus, the city witnessed some excellent exhibits with costumes, props, and sets to immerse spectators in how the movies are made.

Here is a series of photographs with the costumes, set designs, and props of a well-mounted Netflix exhibition at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills in early January.

The exposition, with a museography quality, included vital elements of the films "Dolemite is My Name," "Marriage Story," "The Irishman," and "The Two Popes."

The Netflix live experience made spectators feel as if they were inside of those great movies that reached an Oscar nomination.

The year 2019 brought us some fascinating films - many of those you probably never heard of, or have no time to watch them. Many movies have no possibilities for an award or won't get an Oscar buzz - many critics may agree that the best film of the year will not necessarily be the most highly praised or rewarded movie of the year.

"Transit" is the most sublime, obsessively beautiful story of 2019. This modern and existentialist masterwork is comparable with classics such as "Casa Blanca" or "Touch of Evil."

Films like "Joker" deserve to win Best Picture, "1917" is a masterpiece as well. "Little Women," a movie narrated from the writer's point-of-view and directed by a woman, is the best adaptation of the classic American novel so far.

Some productions from other countries enrich the list of best films of the year, such as the Brazilian masterwork "Invisible Life." The French productions "Portrait of a Woman on Fire" and "Les Misérables" are also great movies worth your time.

In the foreign section, we have the Swedish production, "And Then We Danced" about Georgian dancers in love.

Finally, the most controversial film of the year, and difficult to swallow, the black and white WWII drama "The Painted Bird."

The year 2019, also brought us a few big disappointments. I was not referring to Cats, Richard Jewell, The Fanatic, Rambo: Last Blood, Terminator: Dark Fate, or Ugly Dolls. But that is another story.
