Celebrating Jim Jarmusch’s birthday by watching DOWN BY LAW again. 🎥
Wow. What a relief. Congratulations to my American friends.
It was a good film year and, once again, Agnes Varda was my most-watched director. I logged 795 films during the year.

It’s TIFF Secret Movie Club day! I won’t know what film it is until I hit “play” and I really love that.
Watching Chantal Akerman’s 1974 film JE, TU, IL, ELLE again on The Criterion Channel. 🎥
I really enjoy my working-from-home routine. After my breakfast of coffee and oatmeal I get dressed and go in to my office, put on a sweater and comfortable shoes and start to work. It feels like Mr. Rogers routine and it’s a nice and positive start to the day.
Time for some of the Lubitsch touch with the 1931 film THE SMILING LIEUTENANT on TCM. 🎥
Finally watching SHIRLEY directed by Josephine Decker on Prime. 🎥
Sad to hear of the passing of Michael Apted. While he directed many great films, the UP series is one of the most remarkable achievements in documentary filmmaking.
