While the politics that has come to the SXSW multimedia music, film, great thinkers, and tech festival that comes to a close this weekend in Austin, our film critic Harlan Jacobson has just returned, and has a report. It’s no surprise in this political year, when as Nikki Haley said as part of her now...
Having missed for the last two years—2019 for my daughter’s graduation, 2020 for the collapse of civilization—the most obvious thing to talk about is not my return but the 74th Cannes’ return at all, pushed back this year to July from May.

Respect is the latest in the cascade of musical biopics. It follows the distant 1972 Lady Sings the Blues about Billie Holiday, through to the 2004 Ray, about Ray Charles, to the great Get on Up in 2014, with Chadwick Boseman as the hardest working man in show business, James Brown, to last year’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, with Viola Davis showing who was boss first.

One of the films he saw there had some familiarity to it to say the least. Solo: A Star Wars Story is the 10th installment in George Lucas’ saga begun in 1977. Even...
It’s been a good December at the movies. Major titles that are out there to see include James Franco’s The Disaster Artist, which finds fun and meaning in the worst movie of all time, The Room, made in 2003 by a couple of strange actors; Guillermo del Toro’s, The Shape of Water, a sugar water addition to his...
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in...
