watched this last week and was blown away by linda manz. not only a fantastic teen performance (rare) but a shock of a performance period. she's fiery and tender despite herself. great voice. woulda changed my life to see this at 13.
worth watching just for her but also for this one scene, won't spoil, with dennis hopper & a bottle of whiskey that is maybe one of my favorite things i've seen in a film.

watched around the time Campion’s “Power of the Dog” was getting Oscar buzz and been thinking about diving back in (which is rare for me). Pretty bonkers concept and also is proof that Harvey Keitel is sexy at any age

I'd been hearing about THE RED SHOES for years and never got round to watching it - the picture of Moira Shearer staring, wild-eyed, and so intense, at the camera was captivating and it was always on my radar for that reason. Finally, towards the end of last year, I watched it, and JESUS. It is without doubt one of the best films I have ever seen. Despite being shot in the 40s, it feels so contemporary - the colour, the camera movement - and you can feel its DNA all over so many of the films that came after it. It's also the reason Martin Scorsese wanted to be a filmmaker - he was obsessed by it as a nine year old; it's why he uses red so much. It is, unquestionably, required viewing. It also really disturbs the idea that British cinema is all kitchen sink realism. I love the vision, the ambition. As a British filmmaker myself, I love that this makes me feel seen in our cinematic history.

This is a movie I’d never heard of until recently, but it seems like it should be a stone-cold classic. (Perhaps it IS—my film education is spotty.) It is about a mid-1980s era Bad Girl who loves sex and is angry and lives on the Irish seaside. You can get it on various streaming services. I’m a sucker for any piece of art about an irrepressible wench. good poster too!

when i need to write secrets, things i'm ashamed about, sexy sentences, or anything i don't want any eyes on (not even mine) i write as small as i possibly can. this past weekend i had a lot of floating anxieties that i committed to paper this way and free writing in this format helped offload thoughts that were making me loopy.
it looks kind of psychotic by the time i'm done a page but also kind of beautiful?
(edited to fuck to preserve secrecy but still give you an idea of what it looks like. this is on a folded-up A4 sheet of paper zine)
