By any measure, the 2010s have been a confusing and turbulent and also exciting time. That goes for both movies and the world at large, and that\u2019s saying a lot after the 2000s. At Film Comment, part of our goal is to offer a critical chronicle of the movies as they\u2019re happening, putting things in historical perspective, pointing out the bold and the beautiful in the art and craft of film, and hopefully offering an insight or two along the way. That\u2019s often hardest to do with contemporary history, and so to grapple with the 2010s, we\u2019re starting a series of Film Comment podcasts we\u2019re calling The Decade Project. We\u2019ll look at the movies from different angles and do our best to map out a vivid but often hard to characterize time. \n\nThis week, we\u2019ll talk about some of the major shifts and changes that happened over the last ten years, and some of the decade\u2019s pivotal movies. It\u2019s also an opportunity to talk about the big picture in movies, which probably means having a healthy skepticism about thinking in terms of decades altogether. Joining FC Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold for this discussion are longtime contributing editor Amy Taubin; FC regular Michael Koresky, who is co-editor of the Reverse Shot book, Martin Scorsese: He Is Cinema; and Nick Pinkerton, who\u2019s written a number of essays for us looking at the big picture. Stay tuned for more of The Decade Project with guests Ashley Clark, Sheila O\u2019Malley, Andrew Chan, Molly Haskell, and more. Let\u2019s go to the beginning of our conversation.
