Still thinking about Lucy Raven’s Murderers Bar at the Barbican. The curved screen pulls you into the air—half helicopter, half dream—and suddenly you’re gliding over a river finally freed from a century-old dam. There’s something deeply satisfying about watching a landscape breathe again, knowing that real people fought for that restoration.
It’s part film, part visceral reminder that the land remembers—and that we can actually undo the damage we’ve done. If you need something stirring, unusual, and beautifully shot, go see Rounds. It’s there ’til 4 Jan, and it’s absolutely worth stepping into.
