    Girl: If you could go back would you do it again?

    Caveh: Yeah, every bad thing I’ve ever done I would do again. Because that’s how you learn 

    Audience in unison: but you haven’t learnt anything 😭

    Caveh: Well one thing I’ve learned is how to deal with hostile q&a’s

    Never change Caveh.

    The Lost Daughter

    ★★★★

    Invigorating, uncomfortable tale about the dizziness of freedom and futile efforts of responsibility. I was glued throughout the full 2 hours, watching Olivia Coleman struggling to come to terms with reality in a powerful performance from her, as well as Dakota Johnson (as Nina) and Ed Harris (as Lyle)

    This courageous screenplay (adapted from novella by Elena Ferrante) touches on some uneasy truths that many parents will likely be afraid to admit. So far my favourite of Venezia 78. (2nd sep) Impressive debut from Maggie!

    Midnight Screening w/ Harmony & Gaspar Noé in attendance 

    He is a troll. Out of touch. Going through mid-life crisis. This is all very clear…

    Although I’d like to commend him on the fact he’s contributing something different, vulgar yes, but nevertheless nomadic, essential + reflective of/in response to the state of media today.

    Cinematic war machine.
