Bon anniversaire Truffaut

It still leaves 400 blows to all that miss your film

Retrospective at the BFI

Ahead of the retrospective at the BFI, I decided to post a little prompt of why David Lynch might think "sound is almost like a drug"

Beasts Of the Southern Wild

This film promises eccentricism and a tale of survival all wrapped in the bizarre but beautiful.
