Simon Perry's strange, splendid ECLIPSE (1977) - BFI Flipside Blu-ray 51: compelling performances by Tom Conti and Gay Hamilton! Sterling support from Gavin Wallace (age 9 1/2)! Eerie electronica! Rugged 'Coastal Gothic'! I've written about it here... www.bfi.org.uk/features/ecl...

It’s the anniversary of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s death. So it’s time again for this glorious track. The future’s still catching up with YMO. m.youtube.com/watch?si=mIu...

I think about at least one of these films usually once every few weeks. Absolutely brilliant & well worth checking out if you're able.

Happy Birthday, Wolfgang Petersen. We are playing DAS BOOT, while an absolute banger, it does have the added uneasiness of making you kinda root for Nazis, and given our current climate, that feeling is taken to eleven. But war doesn't just dehumanize us, it also dehumanizes our foes.

Peter Weir’s The Last Wave (1977) would make a great double bill with Skolimowski’s The Shout. 106 minutes of ominous weather, premonitory dreams, and Richard Chamberlain’s handsome face in 1970s Sydney. Enigmatic and beautiful. Loved it.

Echoing this, it's a rather brilliant film.

Perhaps a bit too timely, but this is a fascinating read!

Hopefully eventually the BBC will make as much of their archive available to the public, but for now it's down to the BFI box sets and YouTube for gems like these.
