As Danny Kaye once sang, ‘Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen / Friendly old girl of a town / ‘Neath her tavern light /. On this merry night / Let us clink and drink one down’. Except it’s a sunny Saturday in October. But there’s always later.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Honestly I'm not sure I could be in safer hands, although it's going to be dramatic as fuck. And I don't mean exciting, I mean DRAMA.

I watched A Scanner Darkly (2006) at the BFI IMAX today (no, not in IMAX, just digital 2K), and forgot that Alex Jones has a cameo A bit of a double-take honestly, hah

THE TENANTS is a wonderful movie - one of the best Korean genre pictures of the decade. Sharp, absurd, and playful, it skewers modern capitalism as a machine designed to eat you. Plays tonight at the BFI with an intro by the incomparable @antbit.bsky.social. #HorrorSky #MovieSky 📽️

So don’t give up hope. Do not despair. That is what they want, and we shall not give them that satisfaction. In Japanese, there is a word my mother used to say to me. “Gaman, Georgie,” she’d say. It means to endure with fortitude and dignity. We all could benefit the spirit of Gaman. /5

But we did not give up on this country. We rebuilt our lives, and we worked to ensure that something like this never happened again in America. Now, I fear there are echoes from that dark chapter of our history. They are speaking once again of camps to hold people, this time for the crime of /2

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Horror film recommendation of the day: Nadja (1994)! A b/w 90s deadpan indie dream of a vampire film, in which Elina Löwensohn’s vamp is pursued across NY and beyond by Peter Fonda’s Van Helsing after her father’s death. With Martin Donovan, Jared Harris, a David Lynch cameo and a great soundtrack.

Ooh one of my favourite films is on BFI Player! Alison Maclean’s film of Denis Johnson’s amazing book Jesus’ Son. Billy Crudup is FH, a substance user who drifts through people and jobs. Stars Samantha Morton, Holly Hunter, Dennis Hopper, Denis Leary, Jack Black, Michael Shannon, Miranda July…

Fantastic news - Christina is shepherding a Visconti season to the BFI in Jan! From what I’ve seen, I agree with her - Rocco is the standout. But I’ve only seen that, The Leopard, Death In Venice and Ludwig (extended TV version). Does anyone have any recommendations for where to go next? #FilmSky 📽️

I could not be happier to announce that I have curated a season of Luchino Visconti's works, featuring a 4k restoration of my favourite, Rocco and his Brothers, for January 2025. More than half of the films will be screening on 35mm at BFI Southbank. More info here: www.bfi.org.uk/news/luchino...
