Arrivederci Venezia. Here’s my ⁦@ObsNewReview⁩ final round-up of Venice. https://t.co/jHl55fIAq1

This is awful. Carlo and team vibed up the Berlinale wonderfully, under exceptionally difficult circumstances, reviving it as a festival of real discovery.

RIP Jane Birkin. The songs, the unique interview style… but also superb performances in films by Rivette, Tavernier et al (and as herself, by Agnès Varda). Her daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg made a beautiful documentary about her 2 years ago; see it if you get the chance.

RIP Derek Malcolm. His caustic, often unpublishable one-liners magnificently cut through the nonsense around film, but couldn’t disguise deep knowledge of, and love for cinema. His intro to a mid-80s mini-retrospective of Mrinal Sen was a vital educational moment for me.

Somewhat baffled by the love for Anatomy of a Fall, which left me cold, but… bof. Glad to see The Zone of Interest win its prize. For me, the absolute competition highlight. #Cannes2023

Kind of a shame that Wenders didn’t make his toilet cleaner film in Seoul rather than Tokyo. He could have called it Korean At Your Convenience.
