Andrei Tarkovsky directs Margarita Terekhova, Natalya Anatoliy and Ignat Daniltsev in this Soviet arthouse movie where a man – much like Tarkovsky – remembers his life in fragments, discombobulated and populated by the same faces.

Cinema as poetry… but I don’t really read poetry. Undeniably beautiful and haunting at times but too much like hard work for me. Doesn’t deliver anything I enjoy in film except a very beautiful Russian lady.

David Hollander directs Liev Schreiber, Jon Voight and Kerry Condon in this epilogue movie to ‘the Hollywood fixer with a criminal family’ Showtime TV series.

We watched all 7 seasons of Ray Donovan over lockdown. It is fair to say that when a major character died, and the whole cast left Los Angeles, things went off the boil. This refocuses on Ray and Mickey – their much hinted at but never fully defined backstory. So some loose ends are tied off. It is mainly Ray Donovan sitting in his car, grumpy, while beloved members of the cast (Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, Kerris Dorsey) are given table scraps and after thoughts. Dull.
