Do it in your head, only in your head

 

I'll be seeing the new Bond film and the latest Marvel nonsense and that Dune thing and that Alan Moore thing the week the cinemas open again around here, but I'm really don't know about seeing the new Leo Carax.

On the one hand, it's a fucking Leo Carax film and he's a goddamn movie master, creating films of astonishing depth and imagination, reveling in the widest possibilities of cinema, with some of the world's best actors breaking open their hearts on the dirty streets of the world, all framed in glorious colour with perfect choreography.

But it's also a film about a edgy comedian, and that is literally the last person I give a fuck about right now.

Maybe I'll just watch that goddamn accordion scene over and over for two hours instead. It's probably better all round.
