At least it will get a release, from @icarusfilms.bsky.social but it deserved the boost; much better than many that were chosen.

I missed the screening at the Northwest Film Forum. Fortunately, I caught up with ISRAEL PALESTINE ON SWEDISH TV 1958-1989 via screener. At 200 mins, it's a long sit, but I appreciated the varied approaches to the ongoing conflict. Avail thru @icarusfilms.bsky.social @seattlecritics.bsky.social

My new Blu-ray slipcover art for Marc Allégret’s LADY CHATTERLEY’S LOVER (1955), the first screen adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s controversial novel 🖤. It was banned in NY for "promoting adultery," until the Supreme Court overturned the ruling in 1959. @icarusfilms.bsky.social @vinsyn.bsky.social
