• Aleksandr Sokurov - Dolce… (film, 2000)
  

Softly hypnotised by the wind, the waves and the endless repetition of the opening chorus of Bach’s Matthäus-Passion, this touching portrait of a mother and her mute daughter blew me away.

• Martin Savransky - Around the Day in Eighty Worlds. Politics of the Pluriverse (book, 2021)

Wonderful, whirling philosophy book about “the living, burning demand (...) to learn to think and feel with a reality in the making”, calling us to participate in “this risky, but transformative demand” and to “hold out a trusting hand to the manifold, adventurous commitments of today’s activism” (as Isabelle Stengers beautifully described it)

• Sophie du Palais - Slow Steady Cum (track, 2021)

Mesmerizing slow industrial wave track by Sophie du Palais. Listen on bass heavy speakers or headphones… ❤️

• Marcella Hazan - Spinach Soup (recipe, 1992)

Delicious spinach soup with parmesan and crostini by Italian cook Marcella Hazan. Discovered while preparing a dinner for friends. They loved it and asked me to send the recipe to all of them. (Ideal starter for Christmas or New Year’s dinners!) 😊

worst

• Abbas Kiarostami - 24 Frames (film, 2017)

Incredibly slow & uninspiring swan song by Abbas Kiarostami. Nothing compared to his older masterpieces! Don’t watch this if you love Kiarostami
