This week in film 🎞️ There’s no people, like show people! György Pálfi’s film feels as if Terry Gilliam were pushed to his absolute extreme. A Fassbinder candy-coated frolicking flick. Someday I’d like to see a production of Berg's opera Wozzeck.

Watching a fascinating interview with Dame Siân Phillips. A Welsh actor known for highly intelligent and fiercely commanding roles onscreen and onstage. Born in 1933. Married to Peter O’Toole for 20 years.

I, Claudius (1976)
Clash of the Titans (1981)
Dune (1984)
The Age of Innocence (1993)

This week in film 🎞️ A favorite Hedda Gabler film version. Peter Greenaway does it again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Unnerving flick about coping. Great nun performances.

Fave four Perfs: Ann Bancroft, Alan Bates, Janet Suzman, Meg Tilly

Very sad day 😭 RIP #catherineohara who inspired so many red-haired want-to-be comedians.

This week in film: An epic historical drama. A shocking Clark & Korine partnership. Julie Walters for the win. A film that goes so deep it’s hard to keep your head above water.

Fave 4 Perfs: Dustin Hoffman, Chloë Sevigny, Janet Suzman, Julie Walters

Greenaway does it again! I found myself completely drawn into his world of the materialistic upper-class, where people have so much money they end up making the most outlandish requests just because they can.

🎞️ The Draughtsman’s Contract
Director: Peter Greenaway

Bold choices this week:
- Harmony Korine — brilliant filmmaker. Always disturbing, always real and always takes you on a journey.
- RWF’s last film. A visual feast.
- Delightful and hilarious. Every frame is a work of art.
- A crushing film.

Delightful and hilarious! Every frame is a work of art. Alec Guinness (and his co-star teeth), Katie Johnson and Peter Sellers chew the scenery. A treat for the senses in glorious Technicolor.

The Ladykillers (1955)

Instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour, I decided to start SHERWOOD. #lesleymanville

Dead Man’s Wire for the win

- Michael Caine plays a ho
- RWF was very focused with this one
- What used to be a comedy has now become frightening
- Essence of 1970s response to a crisis event at a time only traditional media did the work of reporting

My theatre heart is full. I haven’t been to Broadway since 2019. Booked a flight and bought a few tickets today, including this adaptation that I’ve been dying to see 🎭

First week of 2026 happened

- Didn’t quite hit the mark - did not regret viewing
- You will get to know the personal side of RWF
- Was fun but with the cast and story it could have been so much more
- Joe Spinell is top-notch - favorite of the week

Would have been most interesting if Dame Helen and RWF hooked up to make a film or two. My most watched theme and nanogenre 😱🫠
