Loved BROKER, typically bittersweet from Kore-eda w/ another strange, tender family - but more complex here w/ questions of forgiveness & responsibility & choice, crucially a woman’s choice that never feels right, whatever you do. Takes a master to get that right #Cannes2022

PIG is amazing. Quite lost for words about the film itself but it emphasises two things I've always believed deep in my bones in that 1) grief is breathtakingly isolating, more than anything else and 2) cooking for someone is the most intimate, tender thing you can do for them
