“I think we’ve put a lot of people away,” Kirsten Dunst says of #metoo at Red Sea Intl Film Fest. “People definitely can’t get away with what they used to. It’s a much safer environment for all of us. I was lucky. My mother was always around. Nothing negative happened to me like that” #RSIFF

Today I find myself in Baden-Baden, borders of the Black Forest, and famed for spas. Hot steam appears from dozens of vents and fountains around town.

Starmer is going to have expend massive political capital to get out of this one

They say never work with animals, but filmmaker Ben Leonberg had the skill and patience to spend 412 days creating his pet project: an adult horror movie starring his own dog. Made for peanuts #GoodBoy is a bone-afide hit www.ibc.org/production/f... @shudder @IBC365

The second time I met Nicolas Winding Refn I reminded him of the interview I’d written 28 years previously that quoted him saying “Fuck film school”
Long critical of mass-produced entertainment, Refn stepped up his attack on the industry speaking with me recently www.ibc.org/production/I... #ibc365

Spirit of Redford. The nearest I came was a visit to the set in Grafton, Utah and the classic Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head bike ride by Butch (my picture is first, obvs)

My favourite Robert Redford is 1966 gothic melodrama The Chase, in which he starred alongside Brando and Jane Fonda as an escaped convict. This bitter tale of rich v poor and justice v fake news has fatal consequences

I know the Adolescence crew weren't publicity shy (and why not when you've made something that good) but I got to chat to Stephen Graham & Philip Barantini before they were Emmy winners www.ibc.org/production/f...
