Rocamadour, France 🇫🇷

Rocamadour is a famous medieval village built dramatically on a cliff in southwestern France.

Its history dates back to the 12th century, when it became an important Christian pilgrimage site. Pilgrims traveled there to visit the shrine of the Black Madonna in the sanctuary complex. The town grew around this religious center and became one of the most visited pilgrimage destinations in medieval Europe, along with Santiago de Compostela and Jerusalem.

Vale Kiwi actor (and honorary Australian) Sam Neill of Jurassic Park and Hunt for the Wilderpeople fame, who passed away today.

He may not have been so well known in Hollywood, but he was an icon of the Australian and New Zealand film industries.

Can I suggest to all who wish to celebrate Neill's gifts to cinema, that you watch his breakout role in director Gillian Armstrong's wonderful first major debut feature film, My Brilliant Career. You won't be disappointed - this film also launched the brilliant careers of both Neill and Judy Davis, who are young and gorgeous and full of chemistry! It's the movie adaptation of an Australian literary classic by Miles Franklin, for whom the Miles Franklin book award is named. Back in the day it was nominated for Oscars and the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Judy Davis won BAFTA for Best Actress for her performance.

Netflix currently has a newer series adaptation of My Brilliant Career in production due to release later this year, so it'll give you a chance to check the original out! Fans of Austen adaptations, Little Women, and period romance with a feminist bent like Anne With An E etc will definitely be into it.

Happy 62nd, Courtney Love.

Trump promised jobs and factories would “come roaring back into our country.”

Since then, over a MILLION people have left the job market. Inflation is sky-high. The Global economy is tanking. An illegal war in Iran has cost American and civilian lives across the region and billions in taxpayer dollars. Trump and the GOP cut vital healthcare, food, and education assistance. And Republicans have completely abandoned working families.
