Chag sameach a bit late, for you members of the tribe.

Saw new Cronenberg film Spider. Quiet, slow in a good way, subtle - this is not a screaming-breaking-killing descent into madness, but rather the breakdown of that madness. Ralph Fiennes' continuous but barely audible mumble speaks louder and more clearly than any spoken dialogue. Worth seeing.
(More on broken-time narratives, visual cues, following child self, webs, glass, language - later. And the writing, the illegible wordless journal! How do we create our history etc.)
