  • The Battle of Algiers

    The Battle of Algiers

    ★★★★½

    A profound description of revolution from the spycraft, the terrorism, the strikes and the waves of colonial response. The snapshots of different characters over time effectively weave the tapestry of a united, people's struggle.

  • Queer

    Queer

    ★★★★

    To give yourself over to another body
    That’s all you want really
    To be out of your own and consumed by another
    To swim inside the skin of your lover
    Not have to breathe
    Not have to think
    But you can’t live on love
    And salt water’s no drink
    We're dying of thirst so we feast on each other
    The sea is still our violent mother
    The blood round here pours down like water
    Each wave a lamb lead to the slaughter
    And like children that she just can’t teach
    We break, and break, and break
    And break ourselves upon the beach
