Just a reminder that Criterion Channel currently hosts 23 films from Iran, including masterpieces from Jafar Panahi, Abbas Kiarostami, and Forugh Farrokhzad's incomparable The House is Black (1963), as well as others. Any of these will be time well spent.
Sounds like the perfect role for Denis Lavant to play:
Redoubt review – Denis Lavant is unforgettable as an oddball building a public shelter for obscure disaster
John Skoog’s monochrome film is based on an art installation, and that shows in the pacing, but his central character is intriguing and utterly unique

My favorite #saintpatricksday film is Brooklyn. I love Saiorse Ronan’s performance, the production design is beautiful, and the story is very interesting. That’s why I love romance movies. #Moviesky #Filmsky #Womenshistorymonth

Why is the Writers Guild being picketed by its own staff? Inside the union's internal schism:
Behind the Writers Guild’s Internal Revolt
For more than two decades, the Writers Guild of America West headquarters has loomed over one of L.A.’s most high-profile intersections. The offices at Fairfax Avenue and Third Street serve not only as a central location for writer members spread across the city but also as a potent symbol to the busloads of tourists that visit the Original Farmer’s Market across the street that L.A. is the home of Hollywood, a dream factory powered in large part by unionized workers.
