Can’t even remotely process a BWDR that exists without @franhoepfner.bsky.social’s essays in it, and don’t want to 😭 But truly, editing her words the past 12 years (!!) has been an absolute joy. She is simply the BEST (human, friend, writer)—there are many imitators, but only one Fran 🖤

New today on the site: “On paper, RED ROOMS is the ideal horror movie for a person like me, which is to say, a coward. It would be a misnomer to say that Pascal Plante’s film has no violence in it though: it is violence, a bloodless film that is rich with blood.” - @franhoepfner.bsky.social

I'm back at my favorite place, @bwdr.bsky.social, this Christmas Eve with a big ol' longread on A Complete Unknown and the cinematic Dylan. Come for some mild criticism of James Mangold, stay for some grand unified theories on I'm Not There... www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2024/12/24/t...
