  6. This evening's viewing: remastered version of the classic adaptation of Neville Shute's Cold War tale, On the Beach that the BFI were kind enough to send for review.

    Such an unusual & powerful film, and one of the saddest uses of Waltzing Matilda I've ever heard.

  11. Beneath the Same Cloud

    A 1953 schoolboy and a 2026 billionaire build the exact same bomb shelter. One used imagination, the other uses billions—but the radioactive cloud sees no net worth.

  13. The TV adaptation of #OnTheBeach really surprised me. Extremely bleak and uncompromising. Tense scenes exploring the dead world in radiation suits and through the periscope. But also, they managed to make the human level, those last days of connection, love relatable without relying on kitsch. Strong performance from #RachelWard. #ArmandAssante is weirdly stoic. Why do several people associate final enjoyment with driving cars and helicopters?
