#Bales2025FilmChallenge of June 16: a [favourite] child character

Blue Remembered Hills (Brian Gibson, 1979)

A group of children plays. It's sunny and lovely in the Forest of Dean, a day to remember for as long as one lives.

'The astonishing talent of #DennisPotter

The trailblazing #dramatist, who died 30 years ago today, was celebrated for his creativity, but also had work banned by the #BBC. His peers discuss his legacy – and that extraordinary final interview

Even Christopher Nolan was gagged by The Curse's finale

I loved The Singing Detective so much (currently on iPlayer if you fancy it) I've now re/watched some other #DennisPotter classics.

Really enjoyed Karaoke + Cold Lazarus (better than I remembered it and Karaoke wins over CL for me), but couldn't really get on with Lipstick on Your Collar. It just fell a bit short and didn't seem to ask/ponder some of the big questions of his other works (life, death, illness, trauma, sex, etc.)

Now I need to try and find Pennies From Heaven 

Hey, Bob. Movies.

#NowWatching The Archers' A Canterbury Tale (1944). The influence on #DennisPotter is all over it. #film #cinemastodon
