At 90 years old, Peter Watkins death yesterday was hardly unexpected but it’s still sad that such an astonishing and bold film maker is still on the margins in our culture. His intelligent, often challenging and innovative films are unique. Here’s an obit: bfi.org.uk/features/peter…

A sad day with the deaths of Danny Thompson and Claudia Cardinale. I loved Danny’s playing with Richard Thompson (no relation) particularly when they played as a duo.

Neil Young at Hyde Park was rocking tonight. A few acoustic numbers and a lot of heavier tracks including a wonderful Hey Hey My My and an immense extended Rockin in the Free World. A few welcome deep cuts too. What a night.

David Cronenberg’s THE SHROUDS is surprisingly effective as both a personal meditation on grief and also an almost absurdist comedy. Like the best of speculative sci fi, it’s a reflection of contemporary concerns, and is very much a film about ideas.

“in keeping with its idiosyncratic way of operating, they’ve had to call in a ghost hunter to investigate the source of a mystery flood that has been blighting the building. It turns out that the cinema is home to numerous ghosts, but none are responsible for water damage.”


A Sunday afternoon treat at @TheGardenCinema . My DVD of the wonderful Fishing with John has never been able to play the first Dennis Hopper episode. Eventually I got to see it! Next in this double bill is the UK premiere of a mythical doc called Tarpon.

As a violin player, I'd ask you please sign the petition to save Newark musical instrument school, the UK's last stringed instrument making school. It's not just about making new instruments, it's about having skilled people who can do repairs. change.org/p/save-the-new…


caroline at their album launch last night. Much louder and heavier than their debut album, less pastoral but still very enjoyable. Some textures reminded me of the Dirty Three. It’s getting very good reviews.
