The Marvel Cinematic Universe has drifted since Avengers Endgame (2019), which tied up plotlines developed over a decade.

Leonardo Van Dijl’s debut feature begins where Antonioni’s Blow-Up (1966) left off: on a tennis court, where a player mimes shots with an imaginary ball. This young woman is Julie, a rising star on the Belgian tennis circuit. Moments after we meet her, she’ll learn that her coach, Jeremy, has been suspended. The reasons for the suspension are opaque but, given that he’s been implicated in the suicide of his previous protégée, it’s natural that the club wants to speak to all its students.

It will be impossible to keep off this benighted app in the coming days, but a quick reminder (mostly to myself) not to use it for actual news, trends or anything substantive. Every tweet should now come watermarked with FOR ENRAGERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
Tonight @BelfastFilmFes1 in @QFTBelfast we're screening a remarkable film that I haven't stopped thinking about all year. Here's what I wrote about THE BALLAD OF SUZANNE CÉSAIRE a million years ago in January: https://t.co/eXdeNkPMFX
