Cinema Terminal is sold out for ‘Barton Fink’. So I take a quick look at SE7E’s film listings and see that in a quarter of an hour Fink is showing at São Jorge, ten minutes walk away up Avenida da Liberdade. There I scurry, only to find a queue so long that I would have […]
‘Surviving Life’, Nova Cinema, Brussels
Le Trappiste on Avenue de la Toison d’Or is my venue for lunch this Friday. I’m glad I’ve got in to this quietly elegant art nouveau brasserie early, right on midday.
