It was my Mum’s funeral today. I chose music by Rachmaninov @caspian @iamclintmansell and @mogwaiband to send her off and spoke words written by @nickcave to help me grieve. I’ve never been so grateful for the power of music and poetry. I wanted to thank you all for writing them.

@SlimJosa ‘The men in this movie don’t experience any violence, but you know who does? Various women!’ Yes! It’s a reflection of reality. Like all the best art, it holds a mirror up to society. The film’s rhetoric would be weakened significantly if violence were depicted toward men.
