If Ozu's Floating Weeds was still on BFIplayer I would just watch this sequence over and over again for the beautiful perpendicular rain.

If you have a BFIplayer subscription I strongly recommend sinking £4.50 into renting La Chimera, one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in ages. (An @annebillson.bsky.social recommendation iirc.) Josh O'Connor's white suit makes Lee Brilleaux look like Bryan Ferry.

An exceptionally good package from the good people at Folklore Tapes.
Have you seen (local, to me) 1960s folksy horror/sci-fi flick The Watchers yet? It's on the BFIplayer.

Watching Pandora's Box (Pabst, 1929) on BFIplayer and Jean-Luc Godard's line 'people talk about watching an old movie, nobody ever talks about reading an old book' has never seemed more to the point.

Watched Kurosawa's High & Low on BFIplayer after being reminded of it by a post by @annebillson.bsky.social. The first appearance of the villain an hour or so in is one of the most amazing sequences I've ever seen.

The week definitely got better as it went along. Spending more time on BFIPlayer than Netflix definitely helped. Even if Rose of Nevada wasn't for me, a first ever watch of M and winding up the week with The Last Picture Show made it special.

An absolutely ridiculous selection of great/interesting films on BFIPlayer right now. Loads of Kurosawa. A big chunk of Bergman. Tons of lurid 1970s euro horror. Hundreds of Beavers (×1).
