Andrei Rublev, 1966 - โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Iโ€™ve seen Tarkovskyโ€™s other six films, some more than once. Now Iโ€™ve come to Andrei Rublev and of all of them I found this the most difficult to watch. The setting and subjects are just completely unfamiliar to me. Visually impressive and interesting to watch but I needed to refer to a plot synopsis quite a lot to understand events in the film. Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™ll watch it again - I need to ๐Ÿซค

A cozy room with a wooden table, on which sits a glass of dark beer and a bottle of Fuller's Golden Pride. In the background, a television is showing a soccer match with a player in a white jersey with the number 9 on the chest

Final Test for Jimmy Anderson ๐Ÿ

So wrapped up in Euro 24 football that I forgot about cricket. Today is the start of the England v West Indies Test series.

The first Test match at Lordโ€™s will be the final international match for Englandโ€™s all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson.

I will be listening to TMS on the radio for most of the day and possibly catching a little TV coverage. Just hope the weather remains clear enough for the day’s play to go ahead.
