It's officially summer! Whether you're enjoying the Euros, Pride partying, prepping for festivals or eating lots of ice cream, the brighter evenings and (hopefully) warmer days ahead feel full of possibilities. New art is everywhere and the cinema box office is, in the slightly misquoted words of fictional dog-avenger John Wick, "thinking it's back" following the success of Pixar's Inside Out 2. Like your cool friend that always knows what's up, here are our cultural recommendations for the week.

I had the pleasure of meeting Donald Sutherland at the Venice Film Festival in 2019. He was attending the event for the closing film of the 76th edition, Giuseppe Capotondi’s underrated crime thriller The Burnt Orange Heresy. It was one of the last films to screen to the press that year, and the starry cast had made their way to the Lido for one of the final press conferences. Obviously, the focus of attention was Mick Jagger, who starred in the film and put on a bit of a show when he entered the press room. He was followed by the director and co-stars Claes Bang, Elizabeth Debicki and the gre...

After the box office acclaim of The Favourite and Poor Things, Yórgos Lánthimos reunites with his long-time writing partner Efthimis Filippou (Dogtooth, The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) for a strange anthology triptych that is darker and far more surreal than his recent output. Kinds of Kindness tells three distinct stories using the same acting troupe in different roles, and it’ll prove divisive for fans of The Favourite and last year’s Poor Things. This triple helping of Lanthimos’ return to his Greek Weird Wave roots feels like it’s for the OG fans who miss that queasy malaise fel...

Donald Sutherland, the prolific Canadian film and television actor whose long career stretched from “M.A.S.H.” to “The Hunger Games,” has died. He was 88. Kiefer Sutherland, the actor’s son, confirmed his father’s death on Thursday. "With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away" Kiefer said on X. “I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that” he added. The tall and gaunt Canadian actor with a grin th...

London’s cult Prince Charles Cinema, known for its arthouse screenings, eccentric line-ups and midnight marathons, has long been a staple for cinephiles and genre fanatics. However, the beloved venue found itself at the centre of a backlash regarding the planned world premiere, on Sunday 23 June, of a film titled The Last Screenwriter. Too gory? Nope. Too raunchy? Wrong again. *Gasp* Not starring Vin Diesel, surely? No, everyone’s safe. The backlash is regarding concerns that AI is replacing writers, as The Last Screenwriter is marketed as the “first feature film written entirely by AI”. In a ...

Inside Out 2 has broken box office records with the biggest global opening for an animated film ever. The sequel to Pixar’s beloved 2015 film has made $295 million (€275 million) already since its wide release in US theatres on 14 June. Just in North America alone, it made $154 million, higher than Dune: Part Two ’s previously set record for an opening weekend this year. In the US, it is also the second biggest opening weekend for an animated film, only behind Pixar’s 2018 film Incredibles 2.

A strange and tall glimmering monolith, akin to the ones which mysteriously appeared in 2020, has popped up in Gass Peak, a hiking area in the Nevada desert just about an hour north of Las Vegas. It looks like it’s from another world, with the glimmering rectangular prism's reflective surface imitating the vast desert landscape surrounding the mountain peak where it has been erected. Where did the object come from? Is it an art installation? An elaborate prank? Is Daft Punk preparing a comeback? Or is someone just a really huge fan of Arthur C. Clark’s short story ‘The Sentinel’ and Stanley Ku...

It's the highest accolade ever for a Portuguese film at Cannes: while the inclusion of Miguel Gomes' "Grand Tour" in the official selection for the Palme d'Or was already a major achievement, the Best Director award was the icing on the cake. It was the career crowning glory of the 52-year-old director who has been a regular presence at top festivals over the last decade and a half with films such as "Tabu" (2012) and the "Arabian Nights" trilogy (2015). "You feel a lot at the same time," Gomes tells Euronews Culture. "It's rare for a Portuguese film to be nominated, to win an award even more ...

British veteran actor, Sir Ian McKellen, has been taken to hospital after falling off the stage during a fight scene while performing in London's West End last night. McKellen was playing John Falstaff in “Player Kings,” a production of Henry IV, parts one and two, adapted and directed by Robert Icke, at the Noel Coward Theatre. Some in the audience reportedly thought it was part of the act, while others gasped as the 85-year-old lost his footing and fell off the stage in a scene with the Prince of Wales and Henry Percy. Doctors say McKellen is in "good sprits" and is expected to make a full r...
