This was on Film4 last night and you can see why it swept the floor at the awards.

The Father.

Anthony Hopkins plays an elderly man suffering from dementia, as he slips in and out various realities, which include different versions of his daughter and son in law and the flat he lives in.

Hopkins gives the performance of his life, but it`s not an easy watch and I don`think it`s a film that you`d want to watch again, as it`s that devastating, especially the end scene.

It`ll be repeated and I highly recommend you watch it without distraction.

10/10.

Talking pictures is serialising 1970-71 series 'Budgie'. It was very popular in it's day (impressions of Charlie Endel's character were very much in vogue in schools) but even if you were not born then it's instructive for Millennials and Gen Z to get a true feel of social attitudes of the time rather than the nonsense served up by programs like Grantchester, I think the lefties on here will scream in horror as much as I'd be likely to do if I watched recent episodes of Dr Who. 😁

I used to watch in the front room of our house when my folks had retired to the snug - loved the seediness of somewhere I had never been until later in school 😁 if my parents came out and could hear the telly I was immediately sent to bed

A Thousand Blows.
Just watched the 1st two episodes and it's great.
Will need to binge watch the rest later.
