Yay, the new HOME programme is out and I’ve gone through it with a fine tooth-comb. I’m really looking forward to the Jean-Pierre Melville season as Le Samourai is one of my favourite films and Army of Shadows is also excellent. I’m keen to see all the others in the season. Also jumping out at me is Billy Wilder’s The Lost Weekend (1945), one of his masterpieces, a searing and powerful portrayal of an alcoholic. A season of independent Indian films also looks fascinating, I particularly like the look of Ankhon Dekhi.
