I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
Sealed with a kiss! Alexander Skarsgard felt the love during an electric seven-minute standing ovation for his Cannes film Pilion, and returned it two-fold with a warm embrace and by planting a wet one on the cheek of a smiling Pedro Pascal who was on his feet. The directorial debut of Harry Lighton had its…
It’s easy to get star-struck by a Wes Anderson cast. There are Oscar winners, screen legends and blockbuster stars all occupying the same, impeccably ornamented space. It’s an entirely different experience getting star-struck by the Anderson troupe when you are the one leading his films. “As a performer, it was amazing to play around within…
In 2018 at the Cannes Film Festival, Kristen Stewart joined Ava DuVernay, Agnes Varda, Jane Fonda and over 80 other women in a protest on the steps of the Palais to draw attention to the lack of female directors programmed in the line-up. That year, only three out of the 21 competition films were directed…
In such a fast-moving industry, it can be easy to forget that, a mere six or so years ago, there was no film scene whatsoever in Saudi Arabia. The country has only been welcoming non-religious tourists since 2019, a year after cinemas reopened following a near 40-year ban. Now there are more than 800 to…
Lynne Ramsay has never shown much interest in making films that are easy to digest, her hard-edged psychological dramas refusing to offer comfort or provide tidy answers for the messy questions arising out of her characters’ upended lives. The uncompromising Scottish director has not gone soft in her jagged fifth feature, Die My Love. Giving…
While Ozploitation dates back to 1970, the predecessor Dangerous Animals calls to mind more than anything is 2005’s Wolf Creek. Only this time, the mayhem happens in open water. Both these sadistic Australian B-movies revolve around a psychotic serial killer preying on travelers and both serve up blood, guts and torture porn, which should provide…
Their meet cute was 2012 in Cannes. Diane Kruger — Hollywood star of Troy, National Treasure and Inglourious Basterds — was on the jury. German director Fatih Akin had a documentary screening at the festival. Kruger had been an Akin superfan ever since his breakout Head-On — a gritty, violent love story about a young German-Turkish woman trying to break free of her…
As you walk up The Croisette toward the Palais, there’s a long, winding series of tents overlooking the yachts anchored in the Bay of Cannes. Atop each tent is a flag representing the country that hopes to impress the producers, financiers and executives gathering at Cannes on the hunt for locations (and most importantly, financial…
A new teaser trailer for Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague (New Wave), which is premiering in the Cannes Film Festival competition on Saturday evening, shows off some of the cinematic style audiences can expect from the homage to Jean-Luc Godard’s 1959 New Wave classic A Bout de Souffle (Breathless). The black-and-white movie, shot in the 4:3 aspect ratio, stars…
Boxing movies are a dime a dozen and have been since the birth of cinema, or at least since the talkies. It’s a genre that offers instant gratification — because what’s more visceral and entertaining than watching two people beat the hell out of each other on screen? Bringing something original to the genre is…
