I am seeking copies of the latest issue of the British film magazine Sight and Sound (Winter 2022-23, Volume 33, Issue 1).
Since 1952, every 10 years the British film magazine Sight and Sound releases two lists of the 10 greatest films of all time according to critics and directors (the directors' list started in 1992). (See past polls: 2012, 2002, 1992, 1982, 1972, 1962, 1952, and all the lists on one page.) Also covered here on the Blue.
I have fond memories of exactly where I was in my life, literally and figuratively, when I bought Sight and Sound magazines in 2012 and 2002. This collecting hobby has been a fun way for me to track how I've changed over the years, in decade increments.
For some reason, it's very hard to locate this decade's issue, which should be out now (I'm in the US). I think it's a combination of newsstands going by the wayside, supply chain problems, shipping issues, and possibly an increase in the popularity of the magazine due to the buzz around this decade's shakeup. In case you're interested, the poll has experienced some major changes. This is the first time a film directed by a woman is in the top 10. Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels (1975) directed by Chantal Akerman is not only in the top 10--it's the number 1 film.
To commemorate this decade's poll issue and to drive sales, Sight and Sound has released 4 variant covers, with covers from top films, including Jeanne Dielman, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Citizen Kane, and Vertigo. If anyone could help me locate any or all of the 4 versions of the magazine, I would be extremely grateful. I'm happy to compensate you well above the store price for your time and assistance. In the US, Barnes & Noble seems to still carry Sight and Sound. Feel free to MeMail me. I'll plan to update this with a comment if and when I have a copy of Sight and Sound. Thank you for your help! |
