Really dug Presence. All of Soderbergh’s experiments with form are terrific, of course they are but wow is this so sad and much thornier than I was expecting. The family dynamics are more hair raising than the ghost!! Good, good movie. Strong throughline with Personal Shopper.

All We Imagine As Light review – Cannes prize-winning Indian drama is a quiet, tender marvel
Payal Kapadia’s poetic, everyday tale of three women who work at the same hospital is all the more remarkable for being her fiction feature debut

Still can’t understand why Mike Leigh’s brilliant HARD TRUTHS was not in Cannes, Venice, and/or Telluride. It makes no sense to me.

One aspect of parenting nobody ever talks about is the cosmic horror. My two year old just stared off into the distance and asked me "Daddy, what's the name of the whole universe?" and when I said "I don't know", she just smiled and kept saying "Guess!"

I'm old enough to remember when the lightweight Amaray case was a symbol of the bourgeois elite and the crackable bulk of the jewelcase was the language of the common DVD early adopter.

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc
