CIFF #6
”It’s ambitious. I thought you’d like that.”
What is a legacy?
It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me
America, you great unfinished symphony
You sent for me
You let me make a difference
A place where even orphan immigrants
Can leave their fingerprints
And rise up
I'm running out of time, I'm running,
And my time's up, wise up…

It’s also the last thing he does before going to sleep — sometimes he loses sleep over it — he feels connected to it, drawn to it, tied to it. I’ve never seen a film that…
"This blanket is a target on our backs."
Here we are, my most anticipated film of the year, it has arrived. My first Scorsese film in the cinema, my first DiCaprio film in the cinema and my first De Niro film in the cinema (Amsterdam wasn't real. That did not happen).

A Real Babygirl 1/2
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
An aggressive desire to feel connected to other people, the embrace that you need might not always be the one that they want. The inexplicable complexities of Benji, played by Kieran Culkin, struck an unexpected chord with me. I naturally was and still am fully aware of…
