This episode of Weekly visions is brought to you by my irritation at learning that Damian McCarthy’s Hokum will not be released in cinemas in Belgium, so I will have to wait until at some point it comes to VOD.

After more than two years of preparing these weekly round-ups, I’ve found myself going back often to past editions to check what exactly my feelings about films were shortly after watching them. It’s interesting that, quite often, I find that my current recollection diverges from my thoughts at the time.
To make this re-discovery easier, I have automated the creation of an index where all the films are sorted alphabetically and linked to their relevant post.

In my end-of-year roundup of the software I use, I mentioned that Lire was my RSS feed reader of choice, because despite a few defects, it allowed me to view posts in their natural environment, that is, by opening a web view on the author’s website; I prefer this way, to enjoy the blog’s personality, instead of seeing all posts reduced to the same flat-and-simple formatting.

Indecision was the real winner this week, as I started watching multiple films and abandoned them in impatience. I ever get to finish Sisu 2, you’ll be the first to know.

Here are the few films I managed to watch when I was not binging on Taskmaster episodes on YouTube.

To celebrate my (as far as I know) permanent return to Brussels, I considered subscribing to, or at least going to a screening at, La Cinematek, the Cinémathèque royale de Belgique, where classic films are preserved and screened every day.
I didn’t find any screening I fancied, and I’m still considering supporting the institution with a subscription (that only entitles to a reduced entry ticket), but out of curiosity I followed the link to its Official YouTube channel.
