  Glass Onion 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 14 Jul 2023

  Here’s an ekphrasic poem ab the film because I’m stoned 

  
  Mona Lisa 
  Your smile’s mystery hidden in plain sight 
  We see it through your safety glass 
  It can only make the best detective laugh 
  As obvious as the consequence of cutting an onion’s cry

  Muriel's Wedding 1994

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Dec 2022

  I don’t know why I enjoyed this movie so much . Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the perfect combination of 90’s nostalgia / feel goodness combined w the sense it was at least a little ahead of its time . There’s also  something so unhinged yet relatable about Muriel that I love  . All around joyous watch . Drink every time someone says “what a coincidence!” To have an even jollier time

  Songs for Drella 1990

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Apr 2022 2

  John Cale - excellent 
  Lou reed - excellent 
  This audio video collection of songs for Drella - excellent

  
  My favourite is probably the one that starts at 23:32 mins 
  So good: the cinematography  , John Cale’s hyper concentrated face whilst playing the violin , the song 

  
  Big yes 

  
  ( is that good enough for a film review JJ ? )
