Unbearably humid and hot. 98% humidity at the moment with frightening thunder & lightning and monsoon like cloudbursts For the first time this summer I've chickened out of my daily run. Three typhoons heading straight for us. The joys of a Tokyo summer. Good luck with the 2020 Olympics. The

Luchino Visconti double bill. The Leopard (1963) Senso (1954)

A capital idea. The synopsis gives a clear idea of why I found it so labyrinthine. Don't let that deter you, it's a great film.

Comforting to hear that others find his plots complicated and that I'm not in the grip of some awful, age related cognitive impairment ! I found Bad Education especially challenging. I love the film and have watched it four times, I think, but the twists and turns still give me trouble and end in repeated use of the rewind button.. Oddly I found Volver one of his easier, more accessible films, the easiest being Talk To Her. Penelope is a goddess I'm madly in love with her.

Bastille Day - James Watkins (2016) Nothing especially new or original but it moves along at a good, nicely directed clip, has plenty of action, holds your attention and most of all has a splendid , muscular performance by Idris Elba. Entertaining, I thought it was ok.

Robert Altman double bill. Images (1972) Great companion piece to Repulsion. There are many similarities. Three Women (1977) Bold film making. Altman was anything but cliched, he wasn't scared to go out there. No one would be able to get films like this and Images released these days.
