line break and excellent typo had me scratching my head to work out what on earth a "panch romantic" film stock might be (I got it in the end!)

Gotta say the BBC radio 4 today description of Trump’s State of the Union as some sort of mild mannered, well orchestrated speech doesn’t tally at all with the clips I’ve watched

RIP the indomitable Éliane Radigue; a long and very rich life. I was very lucky to work with her; visiting her Paris apartment on Rue Liancourt was special. She lived there for decades, literally just around the block from Agnès Varda. Now there's a collaboration I would have loved to see happen.
