  1. After reading the #NYRB "Shithole Cinema" article (paywalled) a couple of months ago, I was looking forward to #RaduJude's "Kontinental '25". It is now on #BFIPlayer and doesn't disappoint. The disturbing collision between self-regard and real events, and the multiple ways to seek to use others to assuage guilt. After viewing the film, David Ehrlich 's IndieWire review added more appreciation.
