Recently finished reading the new book by @strohltopia.bsky.social. Highly recommend it for cinephiles out there, or anyone who wants to give difficult films more attention.
It also motivated me to watch Jeanne Dielman, which I kept putting off. (I agree with Strohl, it's not a boring film at all.)

My friend is selling her ticket to Breaking Convention in case anyone is planning to go and hasn't got a ticket yet. Feel free to pass this on as well.

Went to the Tarot exhibition at @warburginstitute.bsky.social. It was fascinating to see so many historical Tarot decks (especially Austin Osman Spare's hand-painted one) and contemporary versions (interestingly, Aldous Huxley represents The Fool in one of them).
