I watched Heat daily for about 2 months
I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned before, but Apollo 11 (which has just appeared on Netflix) is absolutely glorious...
I finally got around to watching The King last night. Also on Netflix.
Not sure if it's been mentioned already but I thought The Two Popes (on netflix) was incredible. Enthralling stuff, even (especially?) as a non-christian.
Watched Bait last night. Really, really good. Indie film shot on film in square format. Set in a small fishing village in Cornwall exploring the fractious relationship between the locals and incomers. Best thing I’ve seen in ages.

Best thing I’ve seen in ages.Watched Bait last night, perhaps inspired by a wander down to the fishermen’s huts earlier in the day. What an amazing film in so many ways. It’s visually completely mesmerising. The story and dialogue is totally captivating. And I’ve just discovered it was shot entirely without sound (on a hand-cranked Bolex 16mm) and then all the speech was dubbed in afterwards, along with the rest of the sound. It’s so other-worldly. So inspiring that, in a world of GoPros and phone cameras that people are still doing this sort of thing. Apparently he hand-processed all the film at home!
