Also make sure you see the Lee Chang-dong-directed BURNING - a wonderful film adapted from a Haruki Murakami story that somehow captures that writer's sense of the quotidian alongside a world just outside the levels of everyday comprehension. My review is in May's Limelight.
Don't forget to see WOMAN AT WAR (deliciously humorous story about Icelandic eco-warrior and one of the best 2019 films so far)! My review ran in the April issue of Limelight.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys tell @kasie that Ford is still not living at home and can't for "quite some time." She is still receiving "unending" death threats.
NSW is on fire on a winters day. And Australia has no climate change policy other than supporting coal.
What about James Ricketson, @JulieBishopMP ? Why have you allowed this Australian citizen to languish in a Cambodian jail for over a year in failing health? You are totally compromised by your appalling $55 million deal to send refugees to #cambodia. Your actions are disgraceful
