The most beautiful song about incest ever written? But really this is a love song, & such a tender, poetic way to close her debut album.

In a trilogy ultimately about the connectedness of all things, Red begins with this memorable sequence. It’s such a beautiful film, & unites all three films in its unexpected coda.

Since turning 50 years old ... I have been told repeatedly by dodgy social media ads that the solution to all of my problems is Tai Chi and private, non-prescribed testosterone replacement.
I'd prefer a Labour government to actually act like a left wing party and for the USA to stop being batshit!

I finally saw this beautiful film, which until last year I’d never heard of. Quite apart from the aching love story it depicts, the director’s 4K restoration has apparently changed the colour palette, with lovely yellow-green hues which remind me of The Double Life of Veronique. I loved it! #Filmsky
