But don't you long to be carried on?

Thanks to sasha_feather linking my review of God's Own Country (2017) in a tweet, the review has now been recommended by the film's official Twitter feed:

Your Friday treat! Some incredibly beautiful writing about God's Own Country. Make a cup of tea and enjoy it fully sovay.dreamwidth.org/984559.html

I don't think this has ever happened to me before. Normally when I write about movies, especially on account of all the noir and pre-Code, the people who made them have been dead for years and certainly not checking Twitter. I do not expect to hear back from Powell and Pressburger or Derek Jarman.

Francis Lee liked it:

This is really beautiful prose ❤️ https://t.co/DwkdPByaXl

If there's an afterlife, Powell and Pressburger and Derek Jarman are reading you eagerly.

I like the mental image of them all elbow-to-elbow. I think they might get on.

Agreed. (Also I would watch that collaboration like whoa.)
