New Bergerac looks like it’s gone a bit far with how small Jersey is

Not a horror but utterly horrific. Couldn’t walk into my local video store as a kid for fear of seeing this monstrosity.

Can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on Michael Powell’s ‘Bluebeard’s Castle’ all these years. The way it distills lust, terror and passion into blazing primary colours is astonishing. And it’s so playful with form; the treasure room overlaid on BB’s face like veins is a tremendous bit of storytelling.

Fave film (well TV) to introduce me: Penda’s Fen, maybe the most perfect marriage of a screenwriter and director who are stylistic opposites, assembling something remarkable between their difference. As a study of cultural and sexual identity, it remains among the best; literate and furious. #movies
