Only just realised that the experimental filmmaker who made My Name Is Oona is called GUNVOR Nelson, not GUVNOR Nelson. I've been pronouncing her name like a Cockney in my head this entire time...
Back in @SightSoundmag with a review of the new film based on Kazuo Ishiguro's A Pale View of the Hills, an adaptation which poses interesting questions but can only give boring answers
It remains the case that Another Gaze is the most serious, rigorous and politically-engaged film publication in this country—what a joy to see it return! Give this new issue a read and give them some donations!!

Nothing will boost your confidence like being told "you have beautiful hair" by a drunk woman in a Dalston kebab shop at 4am (this really happened to me a couple weeks back!!)
From William Wyler’s Wuthering Heights (1939) - low hanging fruit, sorry, but a scene like this has a swooning, operatic grandeur that the cheap, glossy sheen of Emerald Fennell’s camera simply cannot match
One of my favourite moments in a Frederick Wiseman film, when someone at the help desk for the New York Public Library has to explain to a caller that a unicorn is not a real animal—no other filmmaker could capture these strange, deeply human moments of curiosity like he could
