Thank you, Ty: for reminding me about Benediction, which I will watch again; for reminding me of Davies’s other films, which I will watch again. Your hiatus is our loss!
Benediction is a very good film - and Siegfried Sassoon's anguished poems about World War One are well worth reading - as are those of Wilfred Owens. And what is going on right now with Israel and Palestine is heartbreaking. Thanks for this piece.
Please allow me to stray. I watched Beau is Afraid. It was great fun to watch Joaquin Phoenix and Nathan Lane; yes, Nathan Lane! (And yes, the eyebrows are in rare form.)
I was going to say Ari Aster is the master of his own genre, called “self-indulgence.” But I don’t know enough about movie-making to say it. Then again, when some music expert raves about the genius of Kraftwerk, I want to break the device that is playing the band’s music.

Beautiful and sad twining. I'm just going to sit with this post for a while. Thank you.
Holy shit. Welcome back?
Brilliant, Ty, Brilliant -- as usual. Dale

Is it just me, or is it dusty in here all of a sudden?
