Tom Paulin "In a Northern Landscape"

Ingela is thin and she never smiles, The man is tall and wears the same subdued colours. Their accents might be anywhere, both seem perfect And spend only the winter months here. They own a stone cottage at the end of a field That slopes to rocks and a gunmetal sea.

Their silence is part of the silence at this season, Is so wide that these solitaries seem hemmed in By a distance of empty sea, a bleak mewing Of gulls perched on their chimney, expecting storm. They sit in basket chairs on their veranda, Reading and hearing music from a tiny transistor.

Their isolation is almost visible: Blue light on snow or sour milk in a cheese-cloth Resembles their mysterious element. They pickle herrings he catches, eat sauerkraut And make love on cold concrete in the afternoons; Eaters of yoghurt, they enjoy austere pleasures.

At night oil lamps burn in their small windows And blocks of pressed peat glow in a simple fireplace. Arc lamps on the new refinery at the point Answer their lights; there is blackness and the sound of surf. They are so alike that they have no need to speak, Like oppressed orphans who have won a fierce privacy.

Uniformed comedians

I’ve been saying Tom Paulin��s line about ‘uniformed comedians’ a lot this summer. I don’t really want to go into the details, except to say that we had need of them. ‘We’ as in not me directly, but those who are dearest to me. I’ve blogged about the poem here before. A poem that’s been in my life for almost 40 years and which I’m finally beginning to understand. In the words of Mark Halliday,…

September 9 was the birthday of Pauline Baynes (1922-2008), who illustrated Tolkien’s works! She was the first illustrator for The Adventures of Tom Bombadil; she drew covers for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit; and she is also well known for her illustrated map of Middle Earth. Check out her beautiful work! 💚

Shirley Valentine (1989). Shirley is a 42-year-old bored Liverpudlian housewife who takes a holiday trip to Greece and meets a local man who bolsters her self-confidence. She evolves and transforms to the point that her husband doesn't even recognize her.

It took me a while to get into this one, but it won me over somewhere in the middle and had totally charmed me by the end. What a fun little belated coming of age film and what a sparkling performance from Pauline Collins. Seeing her grow, figure out what she wants and stick to a new path is genuinely pretty special, and I particularly like the way it kind of feels a bit vignette-y in parts? The sequence with her old school friend is a particular delight. 7/10.

New Scotland Yard: Reunion (1.12, LWT, 1972)

"It's not his style!"

"And Clifford's not a very pleasant character."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Just I think he's being getting under your skin."

"Well, he'd get under anybody's skin."

"Because he got away with it, before?"

"There are no facts to prove that Clifford wasn't there. Just as there were no facts to prove that he wasn't a party to the bank job, but you and I and every man in this force know that he was."

"And there's damn all we can do about it. Look, I'm not stitching him up just because he happens to have made idiots of us in the past; we have to prove, conclusively, without supposition, who killed Gemmell."

Silver and gold for two British Toms, I like this Olympics so far!

LE REGNE ANIMAL, de Thomas Cailley Avec Romain Duris et Paul Kircher, le fantastique made in France au cinéma actuellement

Il est bien rare que le cinéma français se lance dans le fantastique, et encore plus rare qu’un acteur ‘bancable’  joue le jeu. C’est le cas pourtant avec LE REGNE ANIMAL, où Romain Duris laisse la place belle à un jeune comédien ultra doué : Paul Kircher. Romain Duris est, on le sait un comédien remarquable, qui peut tout jouer et le voir partager l’affiche, pour ne pas dire s’effacer devant un…
