On 4th November, I was lucky enough to get to see and review Rambert2 perform at the Sadler’s Wells theatre in Angel. I know pretty much nothing about dance (brilliant), though I’m a sucker for physicality in cinema, ever amazed by what it can reveal about a character’...

I stole Diamond Sutra from my mom, from her office shelf, when I was in Shanghai this summer.
