Starting with an icebreaker: Did you know that 'Super Freaky Girl' by Nicki Minaj is apparently the most popular song on peoples' sex playlists? And in other, no-less serious news, Taylor Swift announced the end of her Eras Tour (something you can experience secondhand here) while Brits also went crazy for a tiny ceramic goat made by King Charles III 55-years-ago. What we're trying to say is, it's been a weird time. And our emotions are all over the place (we blame Inside Out 2), so it's probably best we just dive into this week's recommendations.

When it was announced that German director Julia von Heinz was going to adapt Australian novelist Lily Brett’s semi-autobiographical novel “Too Many Men”, there was every reason to be excited. Coming off the back of her Venice-premiering Antifa thriller Und morgen die ganze Welt (And Tomorrow The Entire World), von Heinz seemed like the ideal fit for Brett’s novel, a moving, insightful and often comic chronicle of how Ruth, an American businesswoman, brings her father Edek, an Auschwitz survivor, back to Poland to face the past to better confront the future. The 1999 book stands as a thoughtfu...

We all knew casting announcements were bound to happen, since it was announced earlier this year that Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes (Skyfall, 1917) was teaming up with Sony and Apple Corps Ltd. to make four different Beatles biopics. Each biopic will focus on the individual members of the famous British band, and they’ll all supposedly open theatrically in 2027. Now, there have been unconfirmed but widely spread reports that the cast of this upcoming BCU (Beatles Cinematic Universe) has apparently come together. If rumours are to be believed, the Fab Four casting goes like this: Paul McCar...

Still, lots of fun stuff is happening, with festival season underway, a whole host of new exhibitions unveiled and summer cinema blockbusters abound. Let's dive right in. ExhibitionsMaterialism and Mach by David Mach at Anise Gallery (London, UK) You wouldn't think it from looking at the header picture of this article, but that's a 9ft figure made using coat hangers, their wires protruding from a crucified figure named 'The Thief', his face distorted with pain.

“In the summertime, when the weather is high / You can stretch right up and touch the sky / Then head to the cinema for some well-deserved escapism.” That’s probably what Mungo Jerry meant to say. Yes, it's the summer, so air-conditioned multiplexes are vying for as much attention as they can, with a rollcall of big-budget blockbusters and the occasional indie darling waiting to hit the screens. Granted, Furiosa kicked things off with a bit of whimper and last year’s writers and actors strike disrupted the production pipeline. However, that doesn’t mean there’s not enough out this summer to ke...

In a near future where artificial intelligence reigns, human emotions have become a threat. AI sees feelings of pain, including a broken heart, as limiting the potential of humans. It can erase them. However, getting rid of them means reexperiencing your memories. Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) decides to purify her DNA by going back into her past lives. There, she reunites with Louis (George MacKay), and through the centuries, both of them keep connecting, as if cosmically drawn to one another. We follow the couple over three time periods (1910’s Belle Époque, 2014 and 2044) in an odyssey that spans...

2024 is increasingly looking like box office carnage, especially compared to last year’s Barbenheimer double whammy. The latest sign that Hollywood is in for a rough ride this year is the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which after its premiere in Cannes and its release in theatres has fallen below expectations for its opening weekend. Despite broadly positive reviews – even if we weren’t too keen on it, for reasons mentioned later – one of the most anticipated films of the year has struggled to resonate with audiences. Worse, it opened in time for Memorial Day in the US, a...

Diane, 6 PM, 27 May. David Lynch has announced a new project via a cryptic video message on the social media platform X. Wearing his trademark Wayfarer shades despite being in a very dark room, the 78-year-old said, "Ladies and gentlemen, something is coming along for you to see and hear, and it will be coming along on June Five." June Fifth is henceforth known as June Five. Despite the sparse information given, Lynch fans have already begun to speculate. The "see and hear" aspect suggests something movie or TV related, and if so - huge. But you can never be too sure when attempting to deciphe...
