"Robert Bresson's 'Pickpocket' (1959) is pure cinematic bliss that could not exist in any other art form & it's a symphony of close-ups, images. It's a French New-wave film made by an almost 60 year old man" --- Richard Linklater

Many ways to shake a Shakespeare play: Ant & Cleo finishes at Shakespeare’s Globe Sept 15 overlapping with a stripped-down (70 min) queer take (subtitled 'A Dream of Passion') at Dalston's Divine from Sept 12 feat. Jonny Woo as the Queen...

V glad to have caught final of 8 performances of festival.org/gdif/whats-on/… yesterday in sprawling Liverpool Street Station's Exchange Square. A moving, artful commemoration of the Kindertransport that's still charged with meaning today... Thanks, Gecko & Good Chance!
