Very excited to attend this year’s @cineredis.bsky.social! I’ve been commissioned to write about the incredible and also absolutely devastating Looking for Mr Goodbar (1977), so keep an eye out for that in the coming months. Possibly Diane Keaton’s best performance.

In the run up to @cineredis.bsky.social’s 10th edition, I thought it was as good a time as any to revisit this piece I wrote in 2024 about Illustrious Corpses (1976) and The Years of Lead. letterboxd.com/cineredis/st...

Born 21st April 1932, we wish a Happy (belated) Birthday to criminally-underrated filmmaker Elaine May 🎉 Pictured here on the set of Mikey & Nicky (1976), we're showing a 50th anniversary screening of the incredibly-acted crime drama at our 10th anniversary festival (Wed 22 to Sun 26 July)

Gutted I can't be in Bristol for Cinema Rediscovered's 10th anniversary, especially as it issby far the most important film festival in my life. But on the other hand, there will be more seats for you to book as a direct result of my absence.

It looks like this year's Cinema Rediscovered will be screening Peter Yung's debut film The System, which I highly recommend.

Absurdly excited to buy my pass for Cinema Rediscovered this July. Just finished the Curse of Queen Kelly (what a story), and itching to see the restoration. (Clarification: only one of the attached pictures features Gloria Swanson 😀) @cineredis.bsky.social @pamhutch.bsky.social
