The final instalment… Thoughts on Absolute Beginners?

I loved this film when I saw it during its first-run release! The two musical numbers with David Bowie singing the title track “Absolute Beginners” and “That’s Inspiration” are among my favorite songs by Bowie! Your post makes me hopeful the film has been restored and, hopefully, re-released!!!

And we’re live with Early Bird passes on sale ……….. so thrilled to be opening with (and screening on 35mm) Julien Temple’s - much derided at the time - wildly ambitious Absolute Beginners now ripe for rediscovery with producer Stephen Woolley giving the inside story.

Great review from @wendyide.bsky.social for Luara Carreira’s humanistic vision On Falling. It’s a small film and needs big support so get along to your indie cinema this week. On @wshed.bsky.social now. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...

Finally getting round to my first screening in the #berlinale75 brilliantly titled retrospective programme Wild, Weird, Bloody: German Genre Films of the 70s in the new #deutschekinemathek venue

At #berlinale75 and just caught 1st film of day - Mickey 17 is a blast of a satire (more pointed given what is happening in US) Multiple Pattison’s and a Ruffalo are on great form.

Great start to Chantal Akerman season @wshed.bsky.social with primer talk by @isstevens.bsky.social and screening of Akerman’s still fresh and provocative Je Tu Il Elle - season continues through Feb and March.

L👀k out… Throughout Feb - March, @wshed.bsky.social be celebrating #ChantelAkerman ‘s extraordinary impact on contemporary cinema with an extensive season of her films, from the early 70s through to her final feature No Home Movie (2015) selected from BFI’s Adventures in Perception retrospective…

Had the great pleasure/privilege to meet David Lynch. He was making lithographs in Paris. When asked what he liked about working in black and white he said in that distinctive “Jimmy Stewart from Mars” drawl “well, you know, the darker and deeper the black the more you understand the white.” RIP

He’s Not Here season continues With God on His Side this Sunday followed by A Complete Unknown preview on Wednesday (17th) plus Dylan live music night in @wshed.bsky.social cafe/bar

Make time for #ChantelAkerman this year…

Lots to admire in Eggers’ restaging of Nosferatu - loved the filming and intense atmosphere of Hutter’s journey to, and encounter with, Count Orlok in his castle. But nothing matches the pathos, poetry and tragedy of Herzog and Kinski’s Nosferatu except perhaps the original 😂

He’s Not Here… Sun 5 - Thu 30 Jan @wshed.bsky.social
