Many thanks - 'Breaking Glass' is a very special entry into the tiny slip of punk-inspired films that featured in the early '80s! A fantastic Blu-ray edition with the bells and whistles!

[FunCityEditions @FunCityEdition]

Brian Gibson’s BREAKING GLASS (1980) starring Hazel O’Connor and Phil Daniels makes the cut! Thank you, @PopMatters. 🙏

[Imran Khan @MatutinalLife]

Many thanks - these are a great assortment of films!

First Love’s Slow Seduction

Spare, yet strangely ornate, Swiss film First Love sings of a decadence that evokes the richly embroidered tales of Russian literature. - @MatutinalLife

@PopMatters @onenotthenumber @FilmForumNYC @AWFJ @interesting_aIl @ReelGirlFilm @thefilmsociety I love the Quay Brothers, but that trailer looks downright creepy. Didn't know they had a new film out. I still like their "Institute Benjamenta" best, however...

Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage, and Elizabeth McGovern's Coming of Age Drama Racing with the Moon Is Artful and Immersive

If cinema is more than the sum of its parts, then Racing with the Moon is an immersive experience that pairs its talented performers with an artful and expert backdropping. – @MatutinalLife

Girl With a Suitcase Charms With Its Magnetic Performances

Despite what appears to be a probing examination of the socioeconomics of the European class system, Girl With a Suitcase's pleasures are simple. – @MatutinalLife

@Author_PCorrell @Riknight36 Yes, the book - Richard Adams also wrote "Girl in a Swing". Great book, not so great movie. But Meg Tilly is always great...

@tracey_thorn I feel a lot of music reviewers, especially from NME, back in the day could be quite nasty. I always wondered if it was because of some personal grudge the reviewer had against the artist. Walking Wounded always gets checked as an electronic classic, so that's certainly something

@spheno_xiphoid Is it possible for your symptoms in your sinuses (including the ears) to become worse when you start taking probiotics, as well as NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) and Allicin? I notice some congestion in the sinuses, as well as ears, after taking them...

[Imran Khan @MatutinalLife]

@wh0bryce I've used Lymphdarial and oil of oregano myself. I'm not sure if the Lymphdarial worked, though. I'm using Allicin and probiotics now, also NAC. What were your symptoms with ETD were like?

[Imran Khan @MatutinalLife]

@spheno_xiphoid @Tiger_Lily36 I see what you mean...in this case, you're talking probiotics (and prebiotics)? If so, can you recommend a particular kind that would be beneficial to a eustachian tube problem?
