film
Sometimes Always Never  1hr 31mns stars Bill Nighy (Youtube)
film review by Anne On
Crosby beach features beautifully Bill has a Scouse accent Jenny Agutter’s in it….every shot is a vignette – sometimes literally; tis a quirky film, with a refreshingly unobvious director; stage-set-like feeling; stunning colourways, wonderful framed shots and unusual aesthetic – Martin Parr’s photographs meet Wes Anderson visual stylee/ design; odd beautiful well suited soundtrack, fab use of words/scrabble/vocabulary – spoken and visual – that old school label maker! unspeakably brilliant….an unutterably sublime entrancing film: supergood!

so interesting to re visit a book that was seminal in one’s 20’s
and to discover it still floats the literary & imaginal boat/s

 the truth points of view: we all have them, and they are all different
honouring difference
re membering: I am not my point of view!
nor are you!

appreciating diverse displays….

here’s one idea of the truth….


and now, the same teasel/thistle seen from a different point of view….a metaphor, for a thorny social issue
