“White House Plumbers,” Alex Gregory, Peter Huyck, 2023, US. An underrated but well-produced political comedy/crime drama satire that depicts the lead up to the Watergate Scandal, the break-ins and the inevitable fallout. Stars greats such as Woody Harrelson and Judy Greer.
“This Must Be The Place,” Italy/France, 2011, Paolo Sorrentino. A formerly-retired goth rock star reprises his father’s pursuit of an ex-Nazi persecutor, traversing America, facing his fears and coming to terms with what was, what no longer can be and what comes after.
“Unforgiven,” 1992, Clint Eastwood, US. What a movie. Great cast, great writing, beautiful cinematography of the American West. A vengeance bounty pulls a retired killer back into the fray one last time, as he confronts a supposed law man, his conscience and his past.

“But this long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task, if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us, that when the storm is long past, the ocean is flat again.” JM Keynes, Economist
