“Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1” marks Kevin Costner’s return to the Western genre that brung ‘im into stardom nearly 40 years ago. This first part constitutes a stern handshake agreement with his audience: Just get through these first three hours, people. Quit your bellyaching. You know what these folks had to do to survive? Things could perk up and get rolling come August, when Chapter 2 of this reverently labeled “American Saga” continues in theaters, to be followed by Chapter 3 (currently filming) and then, finances and distribution/streaming arrangements with Warner Bros. and Max w...

Most descriptions for Des Teufels Bad (The Devil’s Bath) may inadvertently discourage viewers looking for a clear notion of what they’re about to watch. It’s an unclassifiable and tantalising slow-burn that won’t be everyone’s idea of a carefree time at the cinema. However, to skip it would be a mistake, as it is without a doubt one of the most memorable films you’ll see all year and the highlight of this year’s Berlinale, where it premiered in Competition and won the Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution - awarded to cinematographer Martin Gschlacht for his striking work. Many - inlcudin...

Five minutes into Austrian directing duo Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (Goodnight Mommy, The Lodge)’s third feature Des Teufels Bad (The Devil’s Bath), you know this period piece is not going to be an easy watch. Upper Austria. 1750. A bleak prologue sees a mother traverse the woods, and head towards a waterfall. There, without batting an eyelid, she throws her screaming infant off the ledge. She then heads to the church, knocks on the door, and turns herself in to the authorities. “I have committed a crime.” She is executed. More precisely, she is decapitated, with her fingers and toes cho...

Reconnecting with his roots as part of the so-called Greek Weird Wave, director Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest is the three-part anthology film “Kinds of Kindness” — a stumbling victory lap following the Oscar winning success of his more selectively edgy “The Favourite” and “Poor Things.” It’s a luxe treatment of some puny satiric ideas, toned up by a cast led by Emma Stone and Lanthimos first-timer Jesse Plemons, who won the best actor prize this year at Cannes. But everything has a chance to go wrong with a movie long before the actors film anything. I take it as a heartening sign of nerve that La...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The Los Angeles home where Marilyn Monroe died was declared a historic landmark on Wednesday, thwarting plans by its current owners to demolish the property. The house was home to the "Some Like It Hot" screen siren for the final six months of her life up to her death from a drug overdose in 1962. More than half a century on, Monroe remains one of the most beloved figures in US pop culture, and fans as well as conservationists have closely followed a row over the future of the home. Property heiress Brinah Milstein and her reality TV producer husband Roy Bank bought the Spa...

The union that represents most behind-the-scenes film and television crews in the US has reached a tentative deal with studios for about 50,000 of its members, making another major, production-stopping strike unlikely after a year of labour turmoil in Hollywood. The two sides announced the three-year deal in a joint statement last night (Tuesday 25 June). The union, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, said in an email to members, who still must vote to approve the deal, that the agreement includes the pay hikes and artificial intelligence protections they had been vying f...

There are persistent rumours that an upcoming English-language remake of Netflix’s hit show Squid Game is on the way, with David Fincher (Se7en, The Social Network, The Killer) slated to direct. Fincher’s project has writer Dennis Kelly (Utopia, Matilda The Musical) working on the script, and while the pairing of Fincher and the South Korean hit drama looks good on paper - the director having previously dived into remake territory (the US version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) and having an unparalleled knack for delving into both physical and psychological violence - some eyebrows are be...
