Couldn’t have made this better. Contributions by @realgdt.bsky.social, @manilazic.bsky.social, @horrornonna.com and Daniel Bird’s essential making of documentary. I’ve intro’d screenings of this film urging it’s a deeply political, philosophical film not just some gonzo oddity & the doc proves it.

As some have already noticed, Trump's latest official portrait bears a striking resemblance to the aesthetic of #AIslop. In particular, his shirt and tie display an otherworldly glow and an almost painterly smoothness. To me, this is further evidence of how integral AI has become to Trump's brand

For the 3rd instalment in our @theringer.com.web.brid.gy series looking back at the past 25yrs of cinema, @brofromanother.bsky.social & I discussed the still devastating Ang Lee film - its beauty and limitations, its women and its influence. And yeah the ending made me cry all over again! Of course!

MURINA made my Top Ten list for 2022. It’s excellent. Check it out.
Set on a remote island along the Croatian coast, this Cannes Camera d’Or winner follows 17-year-old Julija, who spends her days diving for eel with her domineering father and dreaming of an escape from her provincial life.
MURINA is now streaming on Kino Film Collection: knlor.com/4mz2J1N
