Day four of Le Giornate del Cinema Muto brought a return to East Lynne and a visit to the women of Chaplinland. silentlondon.co.uk/2025/10/08/l...

Last night I dreamt I went to East Lynne again… Ellen Wood is directing my subconscious now. I love this mini melodrama strand and I really enjoyed today’s instalment, which was the lavish 1925 Fox…

Monday finished with a zinger. I mean a Zingari. Italia Almirante Manzini wowed the Verdi as Wilejka, a heavy-lidded beauty with great hair, but in this case as a heavy-lidded beautiful Gypsy sheph…

East Lynne, Chaplinmania, paper films and more – Sunday at Pordenone silentlondon.co.uk/2025/10/05/l...

Is it still a pathetic fallacy even if the weather is true but the drama is not? As I set out to begin my day with some major melodrama, there was heavy weather in the skies above Pordenone also. W…

There were a few! I’d seen it before so just tried to follow what I could… very wordy subtitles and the use of classic German fonts did not help!

Absolutely right from Streeting.

But then government/Mahmood need to make crystal clear this applies to people who have arrived since 2021 and are working in NHS/care right now -and that government is not going to change the rules and leave them at the mercy of a future Reform/Conservative govt

Me too. They’ve also been ruinous over the last 15 years and still can’t stop screwing things up by effectively promoting Reform. Kemi is useless and Jenrick faithless.

Brexit has negatively impacted business in my experience as has Farage’s good pal Trump. Reform mentality is based on a simplistic reading of our situation and there’s no real substance. I mean, at least the Tories have actual expertise and, in some cases, even good intentions…

They’re what’s left of the 52% who voted for the self harm? They probably don’t feel the economic downside either comfortably retired, low income and feeling no change either way or just racist?

Polanski is so much like Student Farage isn’t he? Hype and hysteria. Ultimately cynical.
