Drive Your Plow… is fantastic, very funny with great twist. I also liked her semi-related short stories collection Flights.
The Empusium is a bit like a riff on Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain with a feminist twist. 👌🏻

Last 4 reads. The Empusium was the most serious/meaningful read in my latest trend of distraction books - a definite rec.
But oh my how Big Swiss by Jean Beagin made me cackle out loud.
Hot Milk was vague but alright, certainly better than the film.
The List - more of a beach read.

Watched THE BRUTALIST last night. Obviously, as a film about architecture it is surely fantastic looking, but for such a long film not to a have a single boring scene - masterful. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 I wish an Oscar for it, but we al know how these go.

Where the Wind Comes From: Film Review Where the Wind Comes From is a powerfully emotional drama. Eya Bellagha’s performance is stellar in this resonant and insightful film.

“If we can’t even dream, what’s left of us?”

Amel Guellaty's WHERE THE WIND COMES FROM has just had its World Premiere at #Sundance!

Read Justin's review of this "profound exploration of freedom, hardship & the power of dreaming"! 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘DJ Ahmet’ Review: Wondrous North Macedonian Drama Mixes Upbeat Music, Punchy Humor and Pathos An unforgettable ensemble, laugh-out-loud comedy and heartsore drama make writer-director Georgi M. Unkovski’s winning feature feel like a revelation.

“The sort of film that urges one to tell everyone about it so that they too can bask in its wondrous pleasures.” 💙

Thank you for the love for DJ AHMET, @carlosfilm.bsky.social x @variety.bsky.social !

This is both crazy AND amazing! Though as a person coming from the neighbouring Lithuania I can totally see the excat same thing happening should any of our national films ever earn such a fantastic achievement.

Reads very interestingly in the context of this whole anti-women campaigning all over.

Currently reading The Emphusium by Olga Tokarczuk. 150 pages in and while I know that for sure some good things are coming up soon in this riff on Thomas Mann, but oh boy how this books is triggering me. 😄

Charmed by DJ AHMED, a North Macedonian tale of a sheep herder with a penchant for EDM music, who confronts the traditionalist values of his small village when he falls for a local dancer. #Sundance

Great review of #DJAhmet @throfficial.bsky.social 👌🏻 “Last night the DJ saved his life.”
