Can anyone tell me what this instrument is? A transverse flute with the embouchure hole near the middle. This is a scene from Kurosawa's THE QUIET DUEL. Is the actor just playing the instrument incorrectly?

Dang. I haven't seen this thing since 1989, but I found it in a tub of stuff that my mother asked me to go through.

Well, my TCM app isn't working, so I'll be watching a DVD I borrowed from the library: Azur & Asmar, The Princes' Quest, music by Gabriel Yared

Gonna be a TCM @tcmparty.bsky.social Saturday. Then, I'm reading the new Taylor Swift book by Rob Sheffield.

Watching "About Last Night" for the first time. Been mostly bored with it, but this moment made me laugh out loud
LOWE: Is this your ShoSTACKovich?

Figured my first post should be Oscar Levant related. Thursday in rock class, before demonstrating a 12-bar blues in boogie-woogie style, I explained I would play with my "customary arthritic abandon." No one laughed. That's ok.
