“#’Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns Blue’ is a Rare Misstep for Jia Zhangke” Life in the Shanxi Province of China is the foundation of writer-director Jia Zhangke’s astonishing twenty-five-year career.

“#A Vital Courtroom Drama – /Film” There have been a lot of conversations about Black pain as of late, whether in the news or in the movies. How do you thoughtfully depict it? Where is the line drawn? I’m far from an expert on the topic, but it seems to me that Steve McQueen, in Mangrove, the…
