I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
Caught between sophisticated comedy and silly fluff, between Hitchcockian mystery and zany amateur sleuth caper, A Private Life (Vie Privée) is a lot more fun than it probably deserves to be thanks to the disarming chemistry of its seasoned leads, Jodie Foster and Daniel Auteuil. Rebecca Zlotowski’s latest doesn’t have the intoxicating sun-kissed sensuality of…
Arthouse streamer and distributor Mubi has acquired the political thriller The Secret Agent from writer and director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Ghost Portrait, Bacurau, Aquarius), which has been a standout in the Cannes Film Festival competition, for the U.K., Ireland, India and Latin America, except for Brazil. The Portuguese-language movie, about a technology expert returning to his hometown…
It’s not generally a good sign when explanatory title cards at the start and end of a movie give you vital information missing from the movie itself. But that’s what happens with Fuori, a serviceable account of Italian writer Goliarda Sapienza’s years as both a prisoner and ex-con, during which she forged relationships with inmates…
If there are two things you can say about art house ingenue Vicky Krieps, it’s that she’s the most internationally famous actor to ever emerge from the tiny European nation of Luxembourg, and that she rarely takes on roles that could be considered easy or light.

The Oscar campaign for Eleanor the Great starts now. Raucous cheers and quite a few tears greeted the world premiere of Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut, which premiered in Cannes‘ Un Certain Regard section on Tuesday.

In her directorial debut Eleanor the Great, Scarlett Johansson tries to shape a portrait of aging, loneliness and grief in America through the misadventures of her eponymous protagonist, played by the reliably funny June Squibb (Thelma). You want Eleanor the Great to succeed because of its charming lead and compelling premise (the screenplay is by…
Spike Lee got off to a strong start. “No fuck ups today!” the director quipped, kicking off his press conference to Highest 2 Lowest, his electrifying new crime thriller that premiered out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival. The director was referencing his last time in Cannes, when he was president of the 74th…
An agent might count themselves lucky to have one or two competition titles at Cannes. But UTA partner Rich Klubeck is at the fest juggling the filmmakers behind three features: Wes Anderson (The Phoenician Scheme), Kelly Reichardt (The Mastermind), and Oliver Hermanus (The History of Sound), as well as Ethan Coen (Honey Don’t!), screening out…
Jafar Panahi was not born a dissident filmmaker. He never strived to become one. He had the mantle of dissident artist thrust upon him by the regime in Tehran. In 2009, after Panahi attended the funeral of a student killed in the so-called Green Revolution protests, the government banned him from leaving the country. In…
What many of us know as screwball comedies — particularly the great ones of the 1930s and 40s — philosopher Stanley Cavell famously dubbed “remarriage comedies,” describing a popular template in which wedded couples drifted apart at the start of the movie, only to get back together at the end.
