1969: Lions Love d. #AgnesVarda. Set in June '68 when #AndyWathol & #RobertKennedy were shot. A menage a trois of New Yorkers (#Viva #JamesRado #GeromeRagni) are in Hollywood, as is director Shirley Clarke. A loose structured playful meta take on their personas. Fab time capsule.
1956: Eyewitness d. #MurielBox
Lucy (#MurielPavlow) has a spat with her husband (#MichaelCraig) & goes to the cinema. Whilst there she witnesses a robbery/murder. Running away she’s knocked down & taken to hospital. The murderer (#DonaldSinden) follows. Tense cat& mouse thriller.
For those enjoying 36 Chowringhee Lane for #FridayFilmClub, can recommend Shakespeare Wallah (1965) Loosely based on the real-life actor-manager Geoffrey Kendal's family & his travelling Shakespeareana Company. Staring his other daughter Felicity Kendal. https://t.co/HUrqtjhptL
Would've have loved some deeper psychological insights into Harriet's behaviour-she'll go to some lengths for an empty house. Russell's performance is magnificently chilly & the immaculate production /costume design is as glacial & crisp as she is. TY @_CarolMorley for arranging.
Heavy Metal (1981). It's a bit saucy, isn't it? #cultfilmclub @TheCultFilmClub
In an alternate timeline this afternoon I would've been attending @peterjfullagar's talk on Virginia Woolf in Richmond at the Chichester Literary Society. I hope it gets rescheduled. He was also going to discuss the campaign for a full-size statue of #VirginiaWoolf @VWoolfStatue
Three ace #VirginiaWoolf projects...
Out Now: @peterjfullagar @AuroraMetro's book on Woolf's decade in Richmond.
Coming Soon: @louisa_albani's illustrated pamphlet 'A Moment in the Life of Virginia Woolf'
Fundraising Now: 1st fullsize sculpture of Woolf via @VWoolfStatue
The Man in the White Suit (1951) d. Alexander Mackendrick. Sidney (#AlecGuinness) is determined to invent a fabric that doesn't dirty/wear out. That's the upbeat first half ie little guy fighting for his dream stuff. The second half is when the reality hits home. Still relevant..
