Describing Bertrand Russell’s ‘Principa Mathematica’,
‘after 379 pages, Russell &his co-author Alfred North Whitehead were able to prove that 1+1 =2 (‘the above proposition is occasionally useful’, read the wry comment accompanying their proof).’

Kontinental ‘25 is getting added to the 2026 list because I don’t think it got a theatrical run in Belfast bar a Film Festival screening in the autumn. Radu Jude always seems to skate between the farcical and the profound without losing balance. A tough act to pull off!! #FilmSky
