I do a whole bunch of things in cinema as my overlong futile search for home drags on.
Thrilled and honoured to have written the essay for the
@criterion.bsky.social's release of Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina's masterwork 'Chronicle of the Year of Fire', the sole Arab and African Palme d'Or winner.

A big thank you to my wonderful editor Imogen Sara Smith.

Out on January 20, 2026.

So the good news is that 'Mektoub, My Love: Canto Due' is the not the disaster we all anticipated it would be. Devoid of his usual predating, disgusting close-ups, political correctness has certainly done Kechiche good in what is the best entry of the series.

A new Wim Wenders photo exhibit at Berlin's Bastian Gallery packs a lot of ideas so sagaciously, so concisely, so beautifully.

Highly recommended.

Richard Linklater's Blue Moon is the latest addition to the great unrequited love stories cannon. Sharp, lyrical, and so, so funny. Brilliantly and subtly explores the disjunction between art and commerce. Ethan Hawke made me fuckin cry. A triumph.

“Cinema can be a prison”.

The great Miguel Gomes now at a private screening of @Mubi’s “Grand Tour,” my second favorite movie of the year.
