One of these days we're going to have to trade places for a week, Freaky Friday style, and be forced to watch each other's favourite films!

Might be more fun to watch them together and roll our eyes at each other!

Two women (Hanna Schygulla, Irm Hermann) form a sexual triangle with a fashion designer (Margit Carstensen) in her arty apartment.

Sounds like a German porno.

• the long-suppressed Disney film Song of the South

I can’t say I’m enjoying this lockdown, but I’ve certainly appreciated the opportunity to watch some, er, interesting films.

David, did you source that via torrent, as I don't think the DVD has been authorised?
I download it a few years ago and have yet to watch it.

Pretty sure Disney wiped their hands of it many years ago, due to racial backlash, and they are hoping it vanishes into obscurity with the passing of generations.
Not unlike George Lucas, with the original 1977 cut of Star Wars.

You mean George Lucas with the Christmas Special

Oh, so so so bad..... so wrong on so many levels... 1978 TV; blah.
He does demand every copy be tracked down, and smashed with a hammer!

Carrie Fisher singing, coked off her head. Gold.

I don’t think I ever got to see any Hutchinson or Collins intros, but I love the idea! I think David Stratton used to do those on SBS at one point, too. Free-to-air TV’s certainly not what it once was, and in the age of Netflix there’s really no concept of curation anymore. It’s not all bad, of course, but there are some things we’ll never get back!

David Stratton's were phenomenal. He introduced a generation of viewers to landmarks of World Cinema that had basically been unavailable to Australian audiences. I first saw, eg, The Seventh Seal and many wonderful movies by Kurosawa and Ray on SBS introduced by David Stratton. I have, I think, dozens (and perhaps hundreds) of those, with his introductions, on VHS tape.

Mrs WPT & I recently saw Marshland on Stan, a Andalusian killer - thriller set in the immediate post Franco period in Spain. Wow, the cinematography, the atmospherics. It won 10 “Goya” awards when it came out: Spanish Emmys.
