always fun to see people care more about a building than they do people and the conditions under which they live
Jag vill inte längre höra folk säga att det rör sig om ”vanliga” skolprotester. Bilderna och filmerna från Frankrike visar på ren och skär ondska.

I feel fairly confident that my upcoming essay on Lee Chang-dong's Secret Sunshine won't be the worst thing I've written

With The Devils out today, it also feels relevant to re-up my conversation with Theo Rollason, whose new documentary charts the making of Derek Jarman's (also prod. designer on The Devils!) "Edward II". It's fantastic. api.omarshehata.me/substack-…

Excited for a new generation of perverts to discover Ken Russell vis-a-vis "The Devils" re-release but I would be remiss if I didn't call your attention to the fact that DEREK JARMAN DID THE ART DIRECTION! You can read his diaries about the production here themediumcool.com/p/a-revolt…

Floored by Secret Sunshine again. Tonight, I was struck by the parallels between Shin-ae's asthma-like attacks and those suffered by Julianne Moore's Carol White in SAFE, both inflicted by a fearsome, invisible but all-powerful "Gods". Shin-ae feels no such fear, though.
Secret Sunshine is great because the rupture point is so beautifully placed smack dab in the middle of the film that you can leave the second half for another day while you process your 10 pages of notes just from the first 71 minutes

Dazzled by YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING, so had to write about it. A field day for Fielder fans: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr…

For @InRO, I spoke with Theo Rollason, director of "Queer Edward II", a new documentary about the making of and political context surrounding Derek Jarman's 1992 film adaptation of Marlowe's "Edward II". Screens one more time on the 18th at the London FF. api.omarshehata.me/substack-…
