The spirits that remain after something magical’s happened, and how you can go back to a place where something amazing occurred, and the feeling’s still in the air. 

Happy Anniversary “Almost Famous”!

@awest505 Loved this, Aaron!

[Isaac Feldberg @isaacfeldberg]

Huge fan of M. Night Shyamalan as a filmmaker, and anecdotes like these only deepen my appreciation for him as a person as well

[Beyond Fest @BeyondFest]

This is the reaction of someone who has dedicated his life to Cinema and understands the significance, legacy, and honor of winning the Palme d’Or. A beautiful moment for a humbled Sean Baker is a win for us all.

[Ben Lankester @BenLankester]

Lee and Yoo both amazing in the film but I can’t stop thinking about John Magaro

[Ben Lankester @BenLankester]

Loved this piece by @GuyLodge in @SightSoundmag about Past Lives, ‘a study in distance, (dis)connection and the lag between two people in separate spaces’

[Sight and Sound magazine @SightSoundmag]

“It’s an amazing thing when you realise, no, actually there is an epic scale to your unremarkable life”

Celine Song speaks to @GuyLodge about her quiet but powerful Past Lives

[Ben Lankester @BenLankester]

Song: ‘It is a bit of a leap of faith. You have to jump as though you are open to falling off the cliff and dying. You have to be open to the possibility that no one’s going to catch you.’

@ryanbooth @jimmycthatsme Is this more specific to theatre, or did you find the same rules, approaches, perspectives apply?

[Ben Lankester @BenLankester]

@CinemaVsDave @WrongReel Love that menu

@jiggatime A friend introduced me a few months ago. My discovery of the year so far. Love her

Working my way through Joseph Losey and Time Without Pity is just a classic
