Strangers | Taichi Yamada

1: Strangers/All of Us Strangers - my all-time favourite film, which is one of the few I can say, without experiencing that niggling book-blasphemy feeling, is better than the book.
2: Stardust - I loved the book so much, but the film has a totally different vibe, which I preferred.
3: Good Omens - technically not a film in this case, but an incredible series that is far superior to the book, I think.
(Couldn't screenshot, so had to improvise).

TheKidUpstairs The first time I watched Stardust, I watched it twice back-to-back. I love that movie so much! 3w

TheIntrovertedDodoBird @TheKidUpstairs Oh, I love that. It's incredible. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched it now. The cast was brilliant! Watching films back-to-back is a favourite pass-time of mine. I love the comfort in the predictability of it. 3w

ChaoticMissAdventures Poor Gaiman, the movies are just so good! 3w

Books I read recently.
My favorite was Strangers. Set in Tokyo , a recently divorced screenwriter has moved into his studio workplace to live. Immediately atmospheric. Suggestive , thoughtful, a short book and every word is numbered 👌🏻. I loved this one.

North Woods was a beautiful book to read.

Christ on a Bike I enjoyed, but didn‘t love it.

Writing Retreat , ok till 2d half. Then quickly a bail.

After watching the movie, I bought the book All of Us Strangers is based on.
And it‘s so much better! The movie is good too but the original horror story is Japanese and that seems more fitting somehow for the plot. A man lost his parents at twelve but suddenly meets them again 35 years later in an old neighborhood in Tokyo. A short good read.
