In search of a safe place

 

One of the films that has been recently released: Death on the Nile, the third film adaptation of Agatha Christie´s novel which has been directed by Kenneth Branagh, who reprises the role of Hercule Poirot as he also played the same role in Murder on the Orient Express in the film adaptation which he directed in 2017. (You can have a look at my post “Murder on the Orient Express: Agatha Christie´s classic” from 8th December 2017).

This is the post that I intended to write but last week, last Thursday, one piece of news hit the headlines: Russia had started to invade Ukraine and the threat of war became real. Against the backdrop of a war, speaking and writing about our daily worries may seem tactless or unimportant but when you come to think of it, a sense of comfort and safety – a sense that we find in the shared experience of going to the cinema – is what Ukrainian people need now and it is what all human beings need to lead peaceful lives.
