Turned the comments back on briefly to see what would happen and got another unhinged person relying, so I turned them off again, but also added an edit for the people who need the film to be read to them.

Just a late night reminder that if you’re getting into the films of Mira Nair, she’s one of the interview subjects of my book CINEMA HER WAY, which is still in stores now and would make a great Christmas gift.

people are just absolutely losing their minds in the comments of my FRANKENSTEIN Letterboxd review and I really don’t understand the need to, when see a review that doesn’t align with your take, write something mean or personal about the writer (most of which is incorrect reactionary assumptions).

“I’ve spent my life studying my profession & I’ve come to feel that one lifetime is not enough. When it works well there is something shamanistic about it, but in order to invite that, for lack of a better word, inspiration into your life requires a tremendous amount of discipline”
