Take us roaming in the gloaming, your Ross rifle by your side

In other news of media of predictable interest to me, I had no idea that Cannes just premiered a queer romance set in a theatrical troupe on the Western Front of World War I. To this review, yes, concert parties of the trenches could indeed have flutes and clarinets and all manner of professional entertainment on account of the quantity of professional talent behind the lines if not on the front of them. I'm curious about the historical tunes alone. I know much less about Belgian soldiers' songs and sketches than I do about their British or Canadian counterparts. Local arthouses had better come through on this one.

Oh, this looks great. The Wikipedia article says Mubi has the distribution rights - I think that's a streaming platform for arthouse stuff, but not one I've looked at before.

I was gifted it for about twenty-four hours by a friend once. (I used it to show spatch Tarsem Singh's The Fall (2006), which I had not seen since it came out and he loved.) I hope it handles theatrical distribution as well!

Fingers crossed!
