Pleased to have another article published with @uk.theconversation.com on One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest & the role of games within the film. Like Anora, it picked up 5 Oscars at the 48th Academy Awards including best picture, actress & director. This article includes a short video-essay I made:

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest: 50 years on Jack Nicholson’s greatest performance is as fresh as ever

McMurphy becomes an unlikely leader to the asylum patients, helping them to discover self-belief and confidence.

Was pleased to attend another press screening today, this time for A Complete Unknown at Soho Hotel. The plush surroundings certainly did not upstage the film and a very favourable review will follow shortly 🎸🪕
