ARRIVAL was released 9 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great science fiction movies of the 21st century, and among the most popular of director Denis Villeneuve, the story of how it was made may change the way you perceive time…

I love the old Face The Music episodes on @bbciplayer.bsky.social particularly the ones with a very young, very clever, very handsome David Attenborough.

REAR WINDOW was released 71 years ago today. One of the most enduring Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, and among the most popular films of James Stewart and Grace Kelly, the story of how it was made might give you the feeling you’re being watched…
