God’s Wife is screening in London next Saturday. Be there! 🫵🏾

Body and Soul (1947) is a visceral, emotional knockout! A stirring, complex noir that ruminates on boundless ambition, money and power! Dense, layered characterisations and a compelling central performance by John Garfield! Up there with some of the best boxing films ever made!

River's Edge (1986) is quietly groundbreaking! It takes such wild tonal swings that pays off brilliantly - it really shouldn’t work but it does - teen angst enmeshed within a dark, disturbing tale complete with unsettling crime scenes & dysfunctional familial anguish…incredible!

Jean Cocteau once said that everytime he makes a film, it is a “sleep in which he is dreaming” - this sentiment is emblematic of his final film The Testament of Orpheus (1960) - a dazzling, mesmerising fable that conjures up this magical, otherworldliness I found breathtaking!

Actors go register for my masterclass. I’ll be teaching global casting strategies, providing tools you need to move your career from local to global. Use the LALA50 code to get a discount. I’m really looking forward to it.

British fighters just gotta leave Usyk alone bruv, he smoked Dubois, Fury and AJ all 6 fights 😂😂😂

I will be in Brazil presenting my documentary film THE KIDS ARE OKAY in September at Mostra de Cinemas Africanos / Brazil African Film Festival. I will also present seven short films that represent the new voices and aesthetics of Nigerian cinema.

Harvard Film Archive's official poster for their ongoing Mikio Naruse retrospective—the largest Naruse retrospective to date featuring newly-struck 35mm prints!

Francois Truffaut’s haunting exploration of unrequited affection is a really profound, extraordinary achievement! Isabelle Adjani is absolutely incredible in The Story of Adele H. (1975) as the daughter of Victor Hugo, driven by a deep, relentless obsession that enraptures her…

Great film!!

H. Bruce Humberstone’s I Wake up Screaming (1941) is noir at its absolute finest! It takes the conventions of the genre and plays with audience’s expectations, the film is also an illuminating love letter to New York, the city, a breathless colourful character! Really loved this!

60 years on, Tony Richardson’s Look Back in Anger (1959) remains a timely, potent and revelatory piece of cinema! Class, race & familial discontent brilliantly interrogated. Can’t stop thinking about Richard Burton’s explosive & searing performance. Leaves an indelible mark!

Francesca Scorsese says her father, Martin Scorsese, sometimes watches his films as though he’s never seen them before: “Something will happen and he’ll be like, ‘Ha! That’s great.’ And I’m like, ‘You literally made this.’”

Satyajit Ray was crazy for this

My poetry collection Ceremony for the Nameless has been shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry! I’m honoured by this recognition. Love to the fellow shortlisted poets!

Great film!!

Can’t stop thinking about William Dieterle’s melodramatic fable All that Money Can Buy (1941) - the verse comes to mind “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses how own soul” - dark, unsettling piece complimented by Bernard Herrmann's extraordinary score!

Zeinabu irene Davis’ spellbinding Compensation (1999) is a film I’ve been wanting to catch for a while! I found it deeply moving, a multifaceted interrogation of love, race & inclusion across different timelines - she tackles weighty themes with a quiet, poignant sensibility!
