Watching the Chair Company and I think Tim Robinson could actually do a decent adaptation of Ishiguro's THE UNCONSOLED.

Rest in peace Peter Watkins. A filmmaker whose work was stridently intellectual and genuinely radical. But even at their most righteously indignant, his films felt like they came from a place of deep humanity. They could be remarkably tender too.

Do you even know if Tintin is supposed to be his first name? Or is it his surname? What about Captain Haddock's first name?

RIP Michael Roemer. Absolutely mind-blowing to consider that he made his first film in 1949. For context, THE THIRD MAN, ADAM'S RIB and WHITE HEAT were released that year. Hell, Jean-Pierre Melville made his debut in '49 too with LE SILENCE DE LA MER!

Thrilled to have an essay in the current Dublin Review. It's about seeing things that maybe aren't there (or, to put it another way, not seeing things that are right in front of you).
