2023 has given me two films that I will continue to watch many times throughout my life. One is Samajavaragamana, the other is Hi Nanna.
When you think of it, we usually say that a movie is good or bad. It worked for me; it didn't work for me. Or it's worth the money, not worth the money, or it's a one-time watch. If you consider all those reactions as one league, feeling and knowing that you will revisit a film over and over many times in your life is an entirely different league. It is sort of a gift for the audience. And I'm thankful for the filmmaker for making this film and giving it to us.
