Sometimes I see a drawing and wonder if Brian might've done it.
Gustave Flaubert was born #onthisday in 1821. Read about his failed masterpiece The Temptation of Saint Anthony, and the later illustrations by Odilon Redon which finally made the work come to life: https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/the-redemption-of-saint-anthony #OTD

Lucile Hadzihalilovic's mysterious and hypnotic EARWIG (2021). A neat adaptation of the bizzaro B. Catling source novella, and very much at one with the director's previous uncanny masterpieces. Big fan! All that gloom and disquiet, mmm...

If you missed Hadzihalilovic's previous movie Earwig, based on the novel by B. Catling, I wouldn't blame you because it was barely released, but it is in my mind one of the great films of the last decade:

Finally found copies of The Vorrh and The Erstwhile by B Catling at a used bookstore yesterday, and I look forward to have a very psychedelic Christmas vacation.

La montaña hueca de B. Catling és una festassa de la imaginació: aventures criminals, intriga monàstica, bruixeria revolucionària, bestiari al·lucinant, duel erudit, abominacions religioses, invocacions pictòriques, realitats inconcebibles i moltes coses més!
