The world can be a hopelessly confusing place when you are forced to navigate it on your own, especially if you exist within the half of the global population that is regularly subjected to judgment, bigotry and acts of blatant inequality. This is something that we find Beatrice Gibson exploring in detail in her fascinating…

The Dreamed Adventure (2026)
There is history embedded in the land on which we walk – and the same can be said for the people themselves. Each one of us can be considered an ambulatory archaelogical sites, where our own pasts are buried deep in our souls, and where only certain people are able to excavate those secrets and…
La Gradiva (2026)
Every now and then, we all need a reminder of our insignificance. We move through life believing ourselves to be important in some grandiose way, and while it is understandable to consider ourselves to be the protagonists of our own lives (it is simply within our nature), it is also important to put ourselves in…
The Man I Love (2026)
We often take for granted how difficult it was to live through the 1980s, particularly when you worked within the arts. The HIV/AIDS crisis robbed the world of so many valuable, idiosyncratic voices, people who were as creative as they were admirable, falling victim to a disease that not only ate away at their bodies…
Flies (2026)
Some of the most meaningful people are those who enter our lives when we least expect it, or who present themselves as being far less impactful than they eventually will become. This is something that we find Fernando Eimbcke exploring in Flies (Spanish: Moscas), his incredibly moving and deeply compassionate sixth directorial outing (and something…
Possible Love (2026)
Much like many filmmakers, Lee Chang-dong opens his most recent directorial outing with a fragment extracted from a literary work, which sets the tone of the forthcoming film by giving a somewhat clear allusion to what will be discussed thematically, but also being ambiguous enough not to reveal the innermost contents of the story, leaving…
Ink (2026)
Everyone loves a good scandal – there’s something about learning about the sordid lives of the rich and famous (or even the poor and obscure, if the story is good enough) that draws our attention, even if we should know better. This is the reason we exist in the media landscape we do now, where…
The Beloved (2026)
The bond between a parent and a child is a fascinating concept, since every family has a different dynamic, with some being more positive than others. However, it is universally acknowledged that we are the product of our surroundings, and the relationship with those who brought us into the world (even if we don’t have…
The Man in the Funny Suit (1960)
If you were to survey a substantial body of people in the entertainment industry and ask them what their biggest insecurity is, many of them would probably honestly answer that the fear of irrelevancy is something that they constantly have to deal with, especially since showbusiness is a fickle industry and one in which you…
September Afternoon (2026)
There are some feelings that have to be experienced firsthand to fully understand. For me, a core memory from my early childhood was travelling with my family from our home in the big city, driving for hours until we reached the beach, where I spent days covered in saltwater and sand, relishing in the heat…
