His jubilation continues to unspool like an endless reel of celluloid. In more recent times, he has fallen head over heels in love with the work of Midsommar director, Ari Aster, eulogising the young director’s “formal control”. He suffered from terrible asthma as a boy thus, his parents often took him to the cinema “because he couldn’t play outside much,” then he was taken by his mother to see Duel in the Sun, he fell in love, and his devotion to the art form continued therein to this day.
