The Quarantine Tapes 013: Julian Sands: “There is a virtue in slowness that we have lost”. Today Paul speaks with Julian Sands, a British actor best known for his work in film, TV and radio. Due to the nature of his vocation Julian often prepares for weeks and months at home, what he calls his “slow period” or “slow time”. He compares this to the “slow movement” argued for by poets Keats & Shelley who were alarmed by the industrial revolution over 200 years ago. Slow Food was born in the 1990s in Northern Italy with the development of the slow food supply & consumption. Julian addresses our need for “slowtime” - “slow reading, slow thinking”. by The Quarantine Tapes
