😀 Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Three short Oscar contenders among my #LastFourWatched. They were OK.

🌴 Also watched the 3.15-hour APOCALYPSE NOW Redux, which was great. I now want to watch the BTS documentary HEARTS OF DARKNESS, but it's no longer available on Amazon Prime in Canada. Bummer! ☹️

Onwards! 😉

Oh, an animation.

Yes, but it's possible they licensed it in anticipation of the new film, I will check. I did read the novel last year. I'm prepared for major differences between novel and movie.

🦬 Sinakson Trevor Solway's SIKSIKAKOWAN: THE BLACKFOOT MAN will make its U.S. premiere this Saturday at Big Sky Doc Fest in Missoula, Montana.
