May ….May ….May ….May….the shortest month name with no ‘R’ ok to eat oysters and I finally gave myself a Royal deadline…
I begin where I meant to begin in the middle. The night before I went to Mexico in February I watched John Huston’s Under the Volcano which follows the dramas in a single day of the self destructive alcoholic British Consul Alan Bates in a tour de forc e performance with Jacqueline Bisset and Anthony Andrews. The opening credits with the dancing calavera puppets and idiosyncratic music is surreal.
It’s as memorable and haunting as the film based on a book by Malcolm Lowry.
