Just about to watch C’È ANCORA DOMANI which almost past me by completely but looks like it’s going to be fantastic

Hmm, a potential CHALLENGERS / ON THE WATERFRONT double bill Phoenix Leicester is very tempting

So what would everyone else choose?

Tomorrow night I'll be introducing THE BOOK OF CLARENCE (2024) directed by JEYMES Samuel to the good people Phoenix Leicester. Still tickets left. Starts at 7:45pm

So many great neorealist films to see here:

Charlton Heston, playing Moses, in a scene from the the 1956 biblical epic ‘The Ten Commandments.’ directed by Cecil B. DeMille

Intro to the final film (for me) of an enjoyable day Kennington Bioscope’s Silent Film Festival - the 1st ever British feature film EAST LYNNE (1913)

Screen time data for My Own Private Idaho (1991)

- River Phoenix - 56:33 (54.40%)
- Keanu Reeves - 41:24 (39.83%)
- William Richert - 13:52 (13.34%)
- Udo Kier - 6:52 (6.61%)

I would so watch this. And then bore everyone by telling them it was better than the “remake”

Great review of the Book of Clarence and the portrayal of Jesus in the film 🎥

'…a decidedly unfashionable kind of film: the Biblical epic”?
Hmm. Sounds like someone’s been looking at my book royalties statement.
