I watched this on my flight across the pond and really had to pull myself together to keep from crying. Heartbreaking, but also very funny. I’ve never heard so much swearing in a Scottish accent—and I understood most of it, or so I think.

I thought at least 75% of Scottish dialect was swearing.

@endo could just be Altitude-Adjusted Lachrymosity Syndrome (AALS). It’s a thing, apparently.

@endo I can confirm we swear a lot, but it's mostly in a joking way and not serious.

I'll need to check out this movie

I am very excited for the Nathan Fielder Elizabeth Holmes doc.

[jordanscollected]

@Matt me too. Have you listened to “The Dropout” podcast? Really well done.

[Matt]

No, I’ll check it out!

This is an old film, almost like a chamber drama or a Greek tragedy. Directed by Costa-Gavras in 1969, it contains clear allusions to the Greek military dictatorship—which is why the music by Mikis Theodorakis fits so perfectly. Yves Montand, Jean-Louis Trintignant, and Irene Papas make for a magnificent cast. It also carries a timeless message about how democracies can be corrupted. If you’re in the mood for something like that, it’s a great choice.
