Every day this week I'm posting a Whit Stillman review; he's touring the UK this week with 35mm prints of his films thanks to Lost Reels. Today, I'm looking at 1994's delightful Barcelona, and nostalgic for a time when America was a respected country abroad. 5/5

I interviewed Whit Stillman last week about Metropolitan, Barcelona, The Last Days of Disco, Damsels in Distress Love and Friendship, and his kinship with the great Scottish director Bill Forsyth. Our conversation and his tour dates for the UK in the article here. film-authority.com/2025/07/20/i...

Cheering myself up in the company of the ever delightful Damon Runyon .. As if his Broadway stories weren't wonderful enough, these editions feature sublime illustrations by Nicolas Bentley - the icing on an already delicious cake 👌.

Despising the rich was so much better before Marx. From Trollope's "Ayala's Angel" - an impecunious, illegitimate sculptor's view:

What a joy to see once again The Awful Truth by Leo McCarey, a 1937 screwball comedy starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. There is nothing - bar a @whitstillman.bsky.social movie - to touch the elegance, wit and charm of such a gem of American cinema.
