Dinner was roast beef.
Saw Sergei Eisenstein's silent classic Battleship Potemkin at the Cinematheque (for the second time, at least). This print had an orchestral score by Dmitri Shostakovich. It's entertaining by shamelessly didactic, especially the part where a priest urges passivity. (In the true story, the priest was a key supporter of the mutiny.) The movie ends with the mutinous crew escaping to Rumania but doesn't mention that the Rumanian government arrested them and sent them back to Russia and prison.
Got the Cinematheque's fall schedule. They have a big Fassbinder series. I probably won't see many films this time.
