"May you live in interesting times" might sound like a curse in our current moment, but here we are, dealing with a world that is rapidly changing on environmental, biological, and emotional levels. It’s a lot to process. But while there’s no avoiding it, we do, on occasion, require distractions at length , and there’s no better way to escape the tsuris of the world than to sink into an epic motion picture. Three hours might seem like a big ask, but you’ve sat through “Titanic”, “The Godfather” and those ludicrously long Harry Potter movies. Now is the time to give yourself over to that daunting piece of cinema you’ve been putting off for decades. Who knows? You might glean insight from the past on the problems of the present!
