I'll watch his last couple of films. Really hope Davies is not forgotten :-(

So lovely - the Capaldi contribution particularly.

Yes, that was great, thanks!

I'm getting the Koresky book from the library, this aspect of the description sounded really intriguing:
focusing on four paradoxes within the director's oeuvre: films that are autobiographical yet fictional; melancholy yet elating; conservative in tone and theme yet radically constructed; and obsessed with the passing of time yet frozen in time and space.

Koresky's good.

I have a mega critic-crush on him

I don’t know from him, just heard about him now on this thread. His book Films of Endearment has a cheesy title but maybe it’s good?

I loved it, but as I said above ...

Glancing at it. Looks good. Had a shock for a minute when he said his mother went to Newton High and I misread it as Newtown High.
