That’s my version of a sequel. As Bol and Rial contend with their adversities, their home becomes an increasingly dangerous battleground in which they’re forced to wrestle with their inner demons and find ways to adapt without fundamentally changing who they are. Again, it’s very obedient to the rules and laws set forth by the existing material. How can we analyze the recent past to make sense of the present tense and even into the future? This fear is similar to the terror that parents have of inadvertently destroying or disappointing their children, and Flanagan unites these anxieties with a ghoulishly inventive plot turn that he doesn’t fully explore. Ryland Walker Knight, Brandon Cronenberg’s Possessor is obsessed with tensions between mind and body, and old and new technologies. The vibrator also foreshadows a wicked joke.

They appeal to anyone who’s ever cared about a toy—one they outgrew, gave away, or painfully left behind somewhere. But the film abounds in routine, featherweight episodes that allow the hero to predictably prove his salt to his family, resembling a cross between City Slickers and Finding Nemo.

The best version of a sequel that Hollywood can make is a better chapter in a novelistic story, and it’s something that feels necessary, justified, and organic to the material. Cruz’s presence also allows the filmmakers to bring some social conscience to this sometimes backward-looking franchise, exploring the discouraging pressures placed on young female athletes while also nodding toward the historical exclusion of women and racial minorities from racing. Our intent was to put you into a situation where you think, “Oh, this could be so much worse. If I’m ever visiting or looking into the past, I’m always trying to take note of what were the events that got us here.

Into the new millennium, horror films have retained their power to shock and outrage by continuing to plumb our deepest primordial terrors and incarnate our sickest, most socially unpalatable fantasies. Matt Brennan, The computer screen to which we’re exclusively moored throughout Unfriended belongs to Blaire (Shelly Hennig), a popular high school girl who likes to while away her evenings listening to Spotify while she Skypes with her oft-shirtless boyfriend.

Getting the Cannes cut of Southland Tales in front of fans is just the latest step in Kelly’s long-gestating desire to “complete” the film, which may require him to envision and create a transmedia project the likes of which audiences have never seen.

Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays Abbie Hoffman in Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7, presented the writer-director with the award, and during his speech, the actor and comedian even referred to Sorkin as “our Shakespeare of modern cinema.” That’s because Sorkin, a political junkie, if you will, often focuses on structures of power and matters of state, societal prejudice and injustices, gender roles and deconstruction, and hierarchical corruption, among other sociopolitical themes, throughout his work. I’m just very cognizant of the fact that a lot of people are going to be watching things at home.

A man who was an extra on the street where we filmed in Middletown, Ohio, who knew her when he was a little boy, said that they loved her and they were afraid of her. In many ways, this is a textbook example of an essay film in that it tries out many costumes (“I dress up in screens,” Morad declares in the voiceover at one point), but always goes back to savoring the magnificence of language: words printed on screen or spoken as lamentation. Was there any backlash toward setting the film in 2008? I think opening a film with nuclear bombs exploding in Texas isn’t necessarily a pleasant idea; it’s a terrifying idea. You’ve mentioned that Southland Tales, if released today, might make more sense as a limited series or a two-part movie. Jaime Christley. The film’s Sydney is all popping colors and steely surfaces, with cinematographer Dimitri Zaunders skillfully homing in on its labyrinthine streets (he’s also attuned to the still heat of Australia’s east coast). Ed Gonzalez, The masterful final panel in Roman Polanski’s remarkable “Apartment Trilogy,” The Tenant surpasses even Repulsion and Rosemary’s Baby in its portrayal of claustrophobia and dissipating sanity. But I will always kind of go back to 9/11 as another catastrophic, seismic event that just altered the course of history. Returning to the rambling house where he and Eden once lived for the first time since the death of their son, Will finds himself inundated anew by his heartache, and the film, which otherwise hews to crisp, clean realism, is run through with these painful stabs of memory.

Having none, she checks her remote controls, which are dead, and scrambles around until she finally removes the batteries from of one of her children’s toys with a butter knife. Things weren’t looking good. But the latter cars are lit in expressionistically beautiful club-rave rainbow colors that reflect the escalating social privilege of a lost generation. Attempting to divine coherence among films shepherded by various artists via dissimilar methods can be a fool’s errand, but the best horror movies of 2020 were starkly united. In my family, it’s an honor just to be overlooked.” One could argue that this humility keeps him at the top of his game. When you’re writing something ahead of its time like Southland Tales, are you keeping in mind the audiences of the time?
