Tapas followed by film night.
There had been some debate over whether it should be Jojo Rabbit or 1917, but Jojo won out, and what a fine film it was too. In parts funny, heart-warming, thought-provoking, and heart-stoppingly sad. Hard to imagine from a film with the one line premise of being about a little boy with Hitler as his imaginary friend, but there you go.
Listened to the end of the most recent Kermode and Mayo film show (because of a mention on Twitter) and Mark Kermode says it best (in response to a deeply moving listener email) when explaining the importance of cinema. To paraphrase:
The importance of film, and the role it plays in people's lives, goes so far beyond the mechanics itself. Cinema is like a dream - when you imagine something in your mind, it's like the way a film unspools. Its emotional impact is experienced on a fundamental level. Cinema is a machine for producing empathy.
