Feb 21: A Room With a View (James Ivory, 1985)
40 years already & so many of the cast gone (Maggie Smith, Denholm Elliott &, yes, Julian Sands). The violence in the square, George swooping in to catch Lucy as she faints, then swooping in for a kiss in the barleyfield, Cecil's genuine heartbreak

Haven't seen it for years. Perhaps it was a mistake not to realise the film's heartbreak would now map onto my own grief a little too much. The last/first memory sequence hits even harder as a result
Dipping into Cinema 16 DVD set (double bill with Yamakawa's Attack the Bakery). Just 11 minutes long but distinctively Waititiesque in its humour. Camera movements suggest he was watching a lot of Scorsese.
