Not a great film but Andrew Garfield is GREAT and it still made me cry buckets because I always cry at most films… 🀣😬

I know this is weird (given that a version is out this year) but Kaurismaki doing a weird version of Camus’ β€˜L’Etranger’ speaks to me…

Radu Jude doing A Clockwork Orange? Alice Rohrwacher doing The Odyssey? Marie Kreutzer doing Our Mutual Friend? Christian Petzold doing Farewell My Lovely?
PTA doing Kafka’s The Castle?

Review by sarahmatthews - The Murder on the Links Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie Read in BrailleΒ Harper CollinsPub. 1923, 272pp___I fan...

In Feb I enjoyed Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie, 1923, which brightened those dull & damp days! Here are a few thoughts on this lesser known but very entertaining early Christie πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky #BookReview https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/1c75d97d-2f23-40e8-a46d-e90ee5f78fbc?redirect=true

One of my favourite Iranian films. So powerful and so good.

First watch: The Circle (2000). Still working through Mubi's Jafar Panahi collection in chronological order and this is a belter. The film follows with great urgency a series of women in Tehran whose lives briefly intersect, finally coming full circle, back to the character in the first scene. 1/3

When it comes to horror, I am pretty predictable in my tastes. Carpenter, Argento, Bava…
Seem to be a bit less interested in keeping up with exciting new work (which is daft, given the talent that is out there!).

I am fairly open-minded and will give everything a fair go. Unpredictable narratives rate highly with me!

Hark at you! New records? I thought you were out of new release circulation πŸ€£πŸ‘

I am aware of his work but have shamefully neglected watching it. Thanks for the nudges πŸ‘

YES! Adore their work. Just extraordinary. A Canterbury Tale is in my faves of all time ❀️

I like his work very much (although I think his β€˜No End’ is one of the bleakest films that I have ever watched 🀣😬).

LOVE Jarman and Akerman too. Argento is a fave. Fulci can be more of a mixed bag for me but when he hits with me, he hits hard. Prefer his Giallo to the zombie stuff. Lewton is a legend! The stuff with Tourneur ❀️❀️❀️
