Many bold claims have been made about fungal remediation, from oil slicks to nuclear fallout. None have been implemented on any practical scale. To use fungi to break down ocean-borne plastics, first one has to isolate all the plastic from the ocean. Better to not put it there in the first place!

I actually believe it was filmed on Kodak Eastmancolor, so not a three strip system, but processed in Technicolor’s Rome labs.

And the subject of a feature length documentary ten years ago that the Guardian described as "the equivalent of a lengthy mandolin solo on a triple gatefold prog-rock album". www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyQq...

So many great titles to include… I guess even Oshima’s argument to eliminate the colour green from his palette might have been worth mentioning.

I think they should try making Dutch food out of Japanese and Korean ingredients. That would be an interesting challenge…

And Israel should foot the bill. Might stop them laying waste to it immediately after.

I know, and seemingly Turkish too. But I recall regularly going to the Bollywood Sunday matinees years ago that filled an entire auditorium in the provincial Cineworld in Swindon.

I've not even walked by Panton Street in years. I do recall last time though noting a commercial Chinese blockbuster - can't quite remember what it was. I should check out their listings more often.

Interesting that Chinese audience in the UK has grown to the point of dedicated releases and specialist venues/screens. Was this the Odeon Panton Street? I did note there were Mainland Chinese films there obviously playing for diaporic and tourist audiences (rather than general ones) a while back.

Toad's Ear matches that kind of description, but as you say, if it's not found in the US, then it's probably not that. Sorry, I didn't notice the location. but I guess you have a very different range of species that on this side of the world.

Oh yes, that's quite a large spread of sights.

Hopefully, it won’t be such a long wait between films
