Delving deeper into the films of Fassbinder.
Last night I watched In a year with 13 Moons. It blew my mind.. a film 20 yrs ahead of its time.
Trans issues, dysphoria, family, love. High melodrama tragedy trope meets brutal realism.
I loved and hated it. Best kind of films.
Watched The Welkin tonight at
The National.
Absolute stunning visual production led by an equally stunning ensemble of brilliantly written characters.
This is a giant in theatre.
LGSM operated during the UK Miners Strike of 1984 - 85 raising funds for striking miners.
The bonds forged between LGBTQ activists and miners from this time have a lasting legacy to this day.
I’m putting it out into the universe that I’m determined this year to meet and have a drink with Neil Bartlett.
The last of the Jarman era Queer radicals.
Born in Hove, Sussex to an affluent upper middle class family,
Carpenter had a privileged yet stifling Victorian upbringing.
His education and academic ability would later lead him onto a place at Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
After university, he joined the Church of England.
I can’t really articulate how much #TheLighthouse is a stand-alone masterpiece.
One of those rare films that feels like a two way experience.
The score / sound is as much a character as anyone else.
Stunning.
