I think this is the best writing I read these days. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for death and politics and very weird films. Thank you for quoting Kundera. For me that's where all of writing began. Thank you for the feeling of an excellent conversation with a brilliant friend.

Loved this one.

I somehow came across a trailer for Little Murders about a year ago and was intrigued; I could make zero sense of what it was about based on the bizarre imagery of the trailer. But I didn’t seek it out. I will!

Minor typo: spelling of Schopenhauer :)

Thank you! And many thanks for the catch, now fixed. Almost like I need an editor!
