Absolutely loved this by Benjamin Libman - a brilliant and searching memoir, coming to terms with our current moment and layered throughout with unflinching investigations of nostalgia, homecoming, nationality and religion. Highly recommended

I read this in one sitting. A phenomenal book - laugh-out-loud funny, deeply melancholy, unpredictable and gripping, infused with the mordant spirit of the 19th century novella. All this and references to Andrei Rublev too. Bravo sebastian castillo

Utu (1983): Wild revenge Western, one of the first big films of the NZ film industry, and a major work by Geoff Murphy who would later make The Quiet Earth (and direct 2nd-unit on LOTR). Looks incredible, extremely violent, hell-for-leather pace. Overdue a major physical release

I look at posts by mutuals who live in LA and NYC and it’s like “this week I’m seeing John Ford, Mizoguchi and Straub Huillet in 35mm and a Q&A with the ghost of Orson Welles”. Meanwhile my listings are “Shaun of the Dead 21st anniversary quote-along”

My pet theory about Pixar is that their films - being made by a bunch of once-young Silicon Valley workaholics - all used to be about work, and are now all about death
