The story follows Germans who start planning to sabotage Britannic, a ship that serves as a sister to Titanic, during World War I. It includes a variety of characters such as a good and bad one where one of them is quite unusual. Further, a lot of upper-class people continue to be stuck right in […]

The sound of wind rustling the grass and leaves is almost a character in “Family Portrait,” adding to a rising tension in this unique, confidently made film that very purposefully plays more like a dream than realism. Set in the days just before COVID, it’s a foreboding film, a drama that recreates the sense that

In 2020, photographer Luke Gilford published National Anthem, a monograph documenting the queer community in the International Gay Rodeo Association. The photographs are arresting and beautiful. Gilford grew up in the Southwest and loved rodeos as a kid. But the culture itself–macho, often homophobic–didn’t include him. He left the rodeo culture behind, until he discovered

Recently, I have had some fantastic weekends. Like it usually is, Cardiff was just great. Every now and then, I need to retreat back to my geek space which makes me feel better. And even though I didn’t sleep enough, I am starting to catch up. But, it didn’t hurt that I didn’t sleep because

Produced by The New York Times‘s video division, and depending heavily on its own reporting, “Sorry/Not Sorry” is a primer on the rise, fall and reinvention of Louis C.K. A respected standup comic who remade himself as a low-budget arthouse confessional filmmaker, he became the writer, director, producer and lead actor of the semi-autobiographical FX

Let’s get one obvious thing out of the way: Yes, it hasn’t been that long since we’ve had a feature film on the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, commonly known to public as Sisi. That film was Marie Kreutzer’s “Corsage” (2022), starring a stiff-lipped and often (aptly) unsmiling Vicky Krieps as the much-tormented 19th-Century royal. A
