It's been a long while (Knives Out in January 2020) since I last went to the cinema but today I viewed The Banshees of Inisherin at the Wimbledon Curzon. It's a great film, both funny and sad as well as beautifully shot. I loved it.

One Hand Clapping by Anthony Burgess is gem of a story. Written in 1961 it tells the story of a working-class couple from the perspective of the wife, Janet. Her husband has a special talent of a photographic memory, which leads to success and then unhappiness. It’s a charming, easy read, and is highly recommended.
