A first shot at a review of NOUVELLE VAGUE, Richard Linklater's homage to A Bout de Souffle, my favourite ever movie. Yeah, it's another 'love letter to cinema', but it's an intelligent document of clear-eyed devotion, written by an honest lover, to something that is genuinely worth loving.
A ★★★★★ review of Nouvelle Vague (2025)

One of the best things I’ve done in my life is get poems by heart. Boring meetings/speeches/train delays/medical tests/surgery/chemo — all survivable by unreeling in my mind “The fountains are dry and the roses over” or “yagate shinu” or “Souvent, pour s’amuser” or “Call the roller of big cigars”…

I mentioned a while ago that I was obsessed with the Firesign Theatre's comedy LPs as a teen. I just got a copy of Jeremy Braddock's Firesign, which deconstructs the technical and cultural composition of these albums. Talk about a treasure trove!

Oh, true love can conquer hate every time
Give out some love and you'll find peace sublime
And my darling, one more thing
If you let me, I will take you
To live where love is king
