Great talk & book launch by Toby Hadoke at the BFI last night. His new book on TV’s Quatermass Experiment looking like the definitive story behind TV’s first SF classic. Nigel Kneale’s story has influenced so many other creators over the years. #tv #quatermass #books #bfi

This evening's viewing distraction: new 4k restored version of 1949's Stray Dog by the masterful Akira Kurosawa, which will be getting the Blu-Ray 4k release from the BFI at the end of January https://shop.bfi.org.uk/stray-dog-blu-ray.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqdYc1IK3H7qU94DGeUT_IchsMvVpc1aOvrb_FPxBn4Y8_L1tFd
As ever my review will follow later on @PhilEdwards 's Live For Films
"Best of all, its greatness is not that born of grand spectacle, or cinematic bombast. Hauntingly minimal, Brief Encounter is a story told through tiny gestures, train timetables, and thoroughly mundane everyday activities made marvellous. In this tender tale of the smallest, most beautiful things, the fleeting touch of a lover’s hand means more than the most passionate kiss."
