I loved working with @anandsudha.bsky.social on this piece, whose publication fittingly, but unintentionally coincides with Peter Sellers' centenary this month.
Anand Sudha (@anandsudha.bsky.social) considers his own experience – as film fan and Indian viewer – with Blake Edwards’ controversial, revered comedy THE PARTY (1968), engaging with his own hopes and expectations for the film's acerbic critique of Hollywood: animus-magazine.ghost.io/whos-invited...

Took a brief look at Twitter and under a post showing Cahiers du Cinéma contributors from 1963 listing their favourite American films of the sound era, some account with a blue tick had commented "nerdy". Such an awful, garbage website.
