We're a bit late with this week's recap, due to the holidays, but we hope all of our visitors, subscribers, and contributors are happy and safe as 2021 draws to a close.

Last week's scenes (including four upgrades) hail from Argentina, Canada, France, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the USA.

There's a lot of variety in the mix, though if we had to pick just two scenes to add to our "instant classic" list, there's no question that they'd be MysteryGuest's contributions of a delightfully long mother/daughter scene from Dietro la notte, and Lucy Hale's indisputably ambitious suspension scene (complete with a ball gag) from the new British crime thriller Ragdoll.

This week, we're continuing our holiday celebration with at least three more scenes that would undoubtedly end up on that same list...but that's a matter for the next recap. Happy new year!
