Couldn't resist picking up this Agnes Varda collection. Love her films and there are a few in here that I haven't seen yet.

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it.

Not had the best start to December film wise. Moana 2 and Hackers were both pretty bleh, and Terrence Davies Of Time and the City was okay in the moment but has annoyed me the more I've sat with it.

At least Eastern Condors was good fun

First lucky dip film of the weekend is Kim Jee-woon's The Age of Shadows

A ★★★½ review of The Age of Shadows (2016)

Here's hoping this isn't bad. I can't handle a second disappointing historical (ish) epic from Ridley in 12 months
