David Lynch is awestruck by what is generally considered disgusting; he's hypnotized by it. He shows you what he sees, and you find yourself looking at things that you normally couldn't bear and tuning in to his hypnotic state. (1984)

Tom Noonan (1951—2026)

R.I.P. Béla Tarr (1955-2026)

Years ago I watched clips with Terence Stamp of his great films with Fellini, Pasolini, etc. Plus Priscilla and more. The conversation has returned to the BBC. He was revealing, elegant, lovely. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

DELIGHTED that Sundance will premiere 1st chapter of The Story of Documentary Film, about the birth and evolution into late 1920s of this great art form. 4yrs in the making, shot around the world, we hope to world premiere the different eras of our film across 2026 festivals.

“Yippee ki-yay…” We are excited to tell everyone that Westminster Council decided on May 1st that the Prince Charles Cinema would be included in the list of Assets of Community Value maintained by the Council under section 87 of the Localism Act 2011.

On this day, 31 years ago, Béla Tarr's "Sátántangó" (1994) was released in Hungary.

Charles Grodin was born OTD in 1935. Midnight Run (1988) This action/comedy is easily one of the best movies of the 80s. Grodin's brilliant portrayal of Jonathan 'The Duke' Mardukas isn't talked about enough. Every line or facial expression is pure gold, even when handcuffed.
