Rebels


Nottinghamshire's three famous literary sons . . .

Taken by my phone opposite Nottingham railway station yesterday. I was heading for the Broadway Cinema to see Embrace of the Serpent by Colombian film director, Ciro Guerra.

  1. I’d be interested to hear your review of this film. I understand it is about “imperialist pollution” in the Amazon. I also would like to hear your feeling about Brexit. Maybe there also there is imperialistic nostalgia?

  2. That movie is definitely worth seeing, shot in a lush monochrome. If a little earnest in parts. Re Brexit I am disgusted, depressed and alarmed. Perhaps some atavistic hankering for an illusory past, but more an ugly xenophobia and narrow isolationism. The so-called Brexiteers now seem to be backtracking on all their 'promises'.
