So here’s my latest labour of love, a piece on Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, one of my favourite films. Inevitably it’s subjective (I sobbed at the end of my recent rewatch!), but I don’t mind that & am quite happy with it. 🙂 beyondthatnextstar.blogspot.com/2025/06/laur... #TwinPeaks #DavidLynch

3: The Man with the Child in His Eyes www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj9l...

Recorded with David Gilmour at the age of 16, this miracle was written much earlier, when she was only 13. Perfect, instantly memorable, & doesn’t waste a note.

54: Three Colours: White (Krzysztof Kieślowski, 1994) www.youtube.com/watch?v=F56X...

The second part of his masterpiece trilogy, with an edge of sardonic humour this time, but with as much compassion & penetration as always, & this quiet, deeply moving ending. 🇫🇷🤍🇵🇱

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

4: Moving www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPxi...

It’s so hard to rank these top 4 songs, & they could easily be in a different order! With its graceful, assured & utterly original melody, this is an astonishing way to start a debut album.

Day 53: Three Colours: Blue (Krzysztof Kieślowski, 1993) www.youtube.com/watch?v=91F0...

The Three Colours films are *by far* the greatest film trilogy I’ve ever seen, & Blue may be my favourite film of all time. I have no words to express… it’s overwhelming! 🇲🇨💙🇫🇷

I had no such experience in my teens, so this is a vicarious reminder of what it must be like to thrillingly discover sex at the right time, with your whole adult life still ahead of you!
