I just can’t wrap my head around the inventiveness of Black Narcissus visuals, because how do you make a movie that looks like this while barely leaving the studio in UK

Music is the exposed, beating heart of Gatlif’s films in an unrivalled way that always set him apart from other contemporary filmmakers.

A good time to revisit some.

Moralism vs Aesthetic Integrity is the stalemate that keeps on giving. Writers lob hot takes that only reveal how clacified their own pineal glands are by the algorithm.

Anyway, I've always appreciated Will Eaves on this.

Can’t even muster the passion to agree or disagree with this. We deserve more dignified literary debates.

Millions of people from around the world and across the political spectrum pausing their daily psychosis to pay respects to Dolly Parton reminds me of the scene in Children of Men when they take the baby out of the besieged hospital

Calling in a favour from someone I worked and enjoyed a kiki with a while back only to discover they’ve been made a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.

I think one of my favourite things about life is still meeting someone and immediately knowing: oh, you are going to matter.

Our culture has no model for forgiveness or a path towards atonement for the shamed, which is why anyone with a lick of sensitivity spent this last decade wary of mobs frothing at the mouth with calls for accountability.

And yes, even the mobs we agreed with.
