The last time I saw The Trial by Orson Welles it was on VHS; the teenage me probably taped a late-night TV broadcast of a cropped, substandard print.
I saw it again last night. Wow. Every frame is a work of art, not least due to cinematographer Edmond Richard.
Here's a short 🧵of frames.

“Reform is not asking people to join its party so they can work together to build community spirit and support each other in response to the problems they face. But that is almost 100% of the Green message. It is so positive to be part of a growing band of active citizens like ours.”

Actor Brian Cox on meeting the orange felon:

Anyone with morals would find him disgusting in every way, so meeting the evil piece of shit in person must be a nightmare.

Influx of cheap Chinese imports could drive down UK inflation, economists say.
Stupid strategy. UK Govts deindustrialised, increased foreign dependence; cut real wages, create job insecurity and poverty.
Why not control inflation by removing cash from the rich through selective taxation?
