David Lynch prepares a delicious meal of quinoa, with enchanting stories, wonderful fun and wine.

Quote
Just like Laura Palmer’s favourite food, Garmonbozia, in Twin Peaks (1990), and Twin Peaks (2017), David Lynch’s culinary delicacy is quinoa: a high-protein pseudo-cereal. Rich in fibre, minerals, and all nine essential amino acids, this gluten-free seed pairs perfectly with vegetables, and, especially, organic broccoli. In his dimly-lit kitchen, David Lynch prepares his one-medium-pan meal, using 1/2 cup of antioxidant-rich quinoa, a cube of vegetable bouillon, extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt. This delicious, easy-to-make dinner takes only seventeen minutes to make, and in the meantime, as David Lynch describes his cooking technique over a glass of red wine, he also recounts a bizarre story of moths, sugar-water, copper coins, and famous carbonated soft drinks. -Nick RiganasRead More »

First full-length experimental feature by filmmaker Zwartjes about an actress, played by Willeke van Ammelrooy, who during the whole film, in continuously changes moods, is busy in her room. Eventually, she is made an offer by telephone. But what offer does the actress get? – letterboxd.com

Willeke van Ammelrooy stars in this acting tour de force, never leaving the screen for an instant. The movie follows her in her role as an actress who is trying to decide whether or not to accept a certain role. While she is worrying at the problem, she smokes, bathes, dresses, has a tantrum or two, makes phone calls, and cleans her room. – by Clarke Fountain, allmovie.comRead More »

How do the vicissitudes of contemporary notions of nationhood alter our relationship with cultural patrimony? It’s a question obliquely suggested by Amit Dutta’s latest film. As a camera explores the architecture of a museum, we hear a description of a painting we never see. Eventually, we leave the building behind and examine the remains of a temple, exposed to weather and war. Sensual and rigorous, THE GAME OF SHIFTING MIRRORS reaffirms Dutta’s place as India’s most accomplished experimental filmmaker. (Michael Sicinski)Read More »
