A magical evening at Old St Pancras Church with beat nature poets @theclientele.bsky.social. I never clicked before how much Television there is in them.

26. Favourite Neo-Noir. #NoirvemberChallenge
Tchao Pantin was a great discovery this year - a past-his-best garage attendant gets embroiled with gangsters in a nocturnal 80s Paris.

Leave Her to Heaven often gets classed as a Technicolor noir, but of course it’s actually a horror film dressed as melodrama.

Udo Kier - cinema’s fallen angel and an embodiment of the screen’s delicious power to corrupt - is gone. "I would live like the hero of Huysman's A Rebours,” he once told me. “Have no clocks, and hire two nuns to go by my window and pray at 12 o'clock each day."

20. Favourite gambling scene in a Film Noir. #NoirvemberChallenge
“Phew! Somebody give me a cigarette!” The gambling scene in Josef von Sternberg’s The Shanghai Gesture is so intense that Gene Tierney needs a post-coital smoke.
