New @FiveDials just dropped. Honoured to contribute to ‘The Everything List’, a recurring feature in which I wrote about some things I consumed in the past month. Includes whacky chat about Tár, Pedro Almodóvar, Septology, and yes, smoking weed. https://t.co/Hkf0dJabvU

Last full day in #Paris with a group of amazing people who’ve become like family. Last night we ate together then walked along the Seine to sit on the grass as we watched the Eiffel Tower sparkle and go dark at midnight. @cc_irlandais
