  Q & A with the director afterwards where he mentioned David Lean’s ‘Brief Encounter’ as an influence which 😍

  Loved the turtleneck. Asked about the turtleneck (an Eric Rohmer reference apparently)

  A Room with a View 1986

  Rewatched 23 Feb 2025

  Unable to decide what to watch I put on the Criterion live channel and watched the last 20 minutes of Pygmalion, which then fortuitously led to this movie. One of my favourites of the last few years. Also one my favourite Daniel Day-Lewis performances. More streaming services should have channels.

  The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal 2024

  Watched 05 Sep 2024

  It’s weird to watch a documentary when you’re so intimately familiar with the subject. I am biased but thought it was well told.

  I’m also briefly in it with my regrettable page boy haircut at 11 years old. Blink and you’ll miss it.

  That first shot of the walk in fridge made me think of The Shining and that is exactly what this movie is going for.
