[ad_1] Gal Musette – “Broken Clock”-Stop what you’re doing and really listen to this song. It’s such a wonderful bit of songwriting and Musette’s vocal is stunning here. The harmonies on the chorus are absolutely outstanding, winning me over again and again with each listen. The lyrical concept feels like a classic folk trope, that of a broken clock being right twice a day, a tongue-in-cheek joke that meets truth telling. There’s a spiritual core of the song, though, that really does it for me. It’s ultimately a song about seeing someone for who they really are and having to…
[ad_1] There’s a man face down in the sand, unmoving. Nothing but vast golden sand dunes and endless blue sky surrounds him. Then, his body twitches awake. This is the raspy and rugged Tom (Sam Riley), who regularly wakes up hungover on the beach or by the pool or in his car with no recollection of how he got there. This jarring opening to German director Jan-Olé Gerster’s first English-language film sets the stage for one man’s wandering descent into a shrouded mystery that shifts between thrilling and sluggish.Combining Hitchcockian thrills with a seductive European sensibility, Islands is a slow-burner set in an all-inclusive…

[ad_1] Coming off one of the very best films of the century thus far with The Beast, we’ve been waiting to see how Bertrand Bonello will follow up that time-jumping, decade-encapsulating masterwork. We got a hint this summer that his next project may be Santo Subito, one of three scripts he was developing. While no plot details were given, the title translates to “Sainthood Now,” a famous public chant during the funerals of Pope John Paul II in 2005 and Pope Benedict XVI in 2023 to bestow sainthood. We can’t imagine Bonello doing something so literal as to make his…
[ad_1] Murder at the Arconia has become as seasonal as changing leaves and Pumpkin Spice Lattes, an annual comfort food as kids go back to school and the temperatures drop. The undeniably talented writers’ room on this Hulu hit understands the assignment, rarely straying much at all from a proven formula of high-powered guest stars and twisting mysteries. Since the successful launch of this clever blend of old-fashioned humor and podcast culture in 2021, celebrities have lined up to appear alongside Emmy nominees Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Whether murderer, victim, or suspect, everyone wants to be on…
[ad_1] Who needs a villain in their movie when you’ve got main characters as objectively awful as these?Flawed, complex characters and anti-heroes are staples of cinema. Audiences love to root for a protagonist who is complicated and imperfect — or even a little evil — so long as they’ve got the motive and charisma to back up their misbehavior.But some fan-favorite movie main characters are such terrible people or do such crappy things to others that they warrant a deeper look, challenging viewers to ponder why they ever rooted for them in the first place.Let’s look at Mean Girls’ Cady Heron,…
[ad_1] Eight years since Zama and more than two since she shared details, Lucrecia Martel has returned with her first feature-length documentary, Landmarks (Nuestra Tierra in its native tongue). The look at the murder of indigenous Argentine activist Javier Chocobar has screened at Venice and will come to TIFF and NYFF, ahead of which is an English-subtitled trailer. As Martel told us in 2023, “I started working on this film in 2010––so if anything Zama, from 2017, is the sequel. I’m still editing Chocobar. I don’t know if the title will be Chocobar at this point, but the film is all about the crime…
[ad_1] Now that the second part of Wednesday Season 2 has finally released, it’s safe to say the follow-up to Netflix’s hit series is a worthy sequel in almost every conceivable way. Aside from bringing back Jenna Ortega’s titular investigator in all her gloomy glory, treating audiences to an iconic Freaky Friday-style body swap, and bringing back the gift to television that is Gwendoline Christie, Wednesday Season 2 does a remarkable job balancing multiple equally fascinating storylines. Between the twisty, stop-motion intrigue surrounding Isaac Night (Owen Painter), Thing’s true identity, and Principal Dort’s (Steve Buscemi) horrific get-rich-quick scheme, Season 2…
