We’re definitely already in Animal Farm, but perhaps not fully into Brave New World yet.
Enjoy.

Does anyone remember a BBC show from the late 90’s, called Two Fat Ladies? It was a cooking show that always devolved into antic adventures and conversations with the two corpulent prima donnas.

Sergey Bondarchuk's War and Peace - the longest (seven hours) and most expensive film ever made. No CGI, no special effects and with some battle scenes having more than 120,000 extras.
If I find the restored version, I'll post details here.
One of film’s greatest epics is a 7-hour adaptation of War and Peace. Really.The biggest blockbuster in Soviet history is returning to movie screens in 2019. It’s compulsively watchable — and absolutely worth seeing.www.vox.com -

Yikes. For my taste, the world holds enough sources of anxiety without borrowing more.

THE INTRUDER - HBO/MAX
“This Argentine fantasy-thriller shape-shifts so deftly over the course of its 94-minute run time that to summarize it is like trying to pin down an eel. In the film’s opening, we’re plunged into scenes of B.D.S.M. only to realize that we’re in the recording studio where Inés (Erica Rivas), the singer and voice actor at the center of “The Intruder,” dubs for trashy foreign-language films. In the 20 more minutes that pass before the title card appears, there’s also a drug-induced reverie on an airplane and a romantic tiff that leads to a mysterious death — with quite a few cringe-laughs along the way.
The director Natalia Meta maintains this tricky tightrope walk all throughout the film as Inés, traumatized by the sudden loss of her lover, is soon plagued by strange visions and aural intrusions (brought to eerie sonic life by the sound designer Guido Berenblum) that disrupt her choir practice and recording sessions. Another film might have turned the midlife-crisis-stricken Inés and her malaise into solemn vehicles for allegory. Meta resists this temptation, instead unfurling a wry and kooky genre fable that indulges in the sensuousness of Inés’s otherworldly encounters — particularly with the sexy, mysterious organ tuner played by Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, who slithers around the film like a specter — than in any labored symbolism.”
