‘Nosferatu’ Review: Robert Eggers’ Gothic Romance Is A Perverse, Technically Brilliant Tango With Death

‘The Room Next Door’ Star Julianne Moore On Working With Tilda Swinton And Pedro Almodóvar: “Pedro Cares About Women Being Beautiful”
This was a year of firsts for Spain's Pedro Almodóvar, making his first English-language feature after 25 years of teasing and, with it, bagging the main prize at a major international film festival — Venice's Golden Lion — for the first time in a career spanning nearly half a century. The film in…

How Guy Pearce Explored “Extreme” Power In ‘The Brutalist’: “I Suppose On Some Level It’s The Donald Trump Version”
Given the number of indelible performances he's given since breaking out world-wide with only his third big-screen appearance—The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in 1994—it's astonishing that Guy Pearce doesn't have an awards shelf creaking with the weight of career-affirming statuettes. That…
Mohammad Rasoulof Reveals How He Covertly Made ‘The Seed Of The Sacred Fig’, Risking His Life And His Freedom
There's a funny phrase in Hollywood — ‘director's jail’ — that gets thrown around whenever a filmmaker finds their career in stasis after making a particularly high-profile flop. Reputations are certainly tarnished. Some go into television instead, and some never get back in the saddle. But, so far, no…
‘Emilia Pérez’ And ‘I’m Still Here’ Lead The Female-Fronted Favorites For Best International Feature Of 2024
Looking outside America this Oscar season, there are plenty of candidates for the Best International Feature award. You might gravitate to Latvia's Cannes entry Flow, a dialogue-free animation in which a black cat, a bird and a ragtag band of other creatures fight for survival in a human-free world after…
‘Blitz’ Director Steve McQueen On His Homage To Wartime London: “It Wasn’t About Ticking Boxes”
Steve McQueen
The director of Blitz talks us through the choices he made to create his dreamlike love letter to wartime London

‘All God’s Children’ Review: Ondi Timoner Captures A Turbulent But Inspiring Story Of Interfaith Harmony In Gentrified Brooklyn – DOC NYC
In the 20 years since her breakout film Dig!, about the uber-cool post-rock cold war between rival bands The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Ondi Timoner has positioned herself as a great explorer of the times we live in, usually while that history is still unfolding. In the case of 2009's…
‘Chlorophyll’ Director Ivana Gloria On Taking The Punk Route To Promoting Her Surreal Coming-Of-Age Story: “I Felt Like A Rock Star”
After a short period on the road with her debut film — the tender, surreal coming-of-age story Chlorophyll — Italian director Ivana Gloria soon began to realize that the film festival circuit would only take her so far. Starring newcomer Sarah Short, the film concerns a girl called Maia, who discovers…
‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Review: Tom Hardy And Company Bravely Battle Comic-Book Fatigue In A Middling Marvel Symbiote Story
It's somehow appropriate for a film about symbiotic creatures that the third and, for the time being, final instalment of Marvel's Venom saga should be largely populated by British actors playing Americans. Aside from leading man Tom Hardy, who plays…
‘Conclave’ Screenwriter Peter Straughan Talks Adapting Robert Harris’ Bestseller And Teases Season 2 Of ‘Wolf Hall’
Over the past 20 years, screenwriter Peter Straughan has become British cinema's go-to guy for adaptations. That might sound like a back-handed compliment, but his protean talent makes it hard to pinpoint what exactly constitutes a typical project for the UK-based writer: is it Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy…
‘The Extraordinary Miss Flower’ Review: A Stash Of Secret Love Letters Inspires A Psychedelic Musical Biopic – London Film Festival
Miss Geraldine Flower remains something of a mystery from beginning to end of this extraordinary experimental biopic.
