The Compelling Message Behind 'Bugonia': An In-Depth Discussion with the Creators

Joe Schmidt — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 10:35:12 GMT

There are very few experiences akin to watching a Yorgos Lanthimos movie. They're crafted with nuanced and meticulous care for the story, designed to challenge you or even make you feel uncomfortable, to the point where the journey's destination might feel obvious. And yet, you still have to see it with your own eyes to be sure — or, rather, to know it's all been worth it.

'One Battle After Another's Ambitious Edit by Andy Jurgensen Sends Paul Thomas Anderson's Film to the Oscars

Joe Schmidt — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:12:12 GMT

Every great filmmaker will be the first to admit that it's rarely a solo endeavor and that the strength of the story is served by the collaborators they are fortunate enough to have along for the ride. And in the most fortunate situations, they discover a collaborator who transforms struggle into triumph as they create an experience wholly unique, intentional, and entertaining. To say that Andy Jurgensen has been instrumental to the success of One Battle After Another and its auteur, Paul Thomas Anderson, is nothing less than an understatement. Ahead of Jurgensen's first Academy Award nomination for Best Editing at this year's ceremony, the fortuitous circumstances are not lost on him.

Taylor Gates — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 19:52:08 GMT

Iranian cinema, particularly its more underground works, is having a big moment right now. From Mohammad Rasoulof’s The Seed of the Sacred Fig being nominated for Best International Feature last year to Maryam Ataei and Hossein Keshavarz’s The Friend’s House is Here winning a Special Jury Award at Sundance this January, stories about people bravely fighting against the authoritarian regime are gaining more mainstream recognition.

'Train Dreams' Director Clint Bentley Wanted To Show a Side of Joel Edgerton We Never See

Emily Bernard — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:01:12 GMT

"Less is more," is a simple, yet profound adage that seamlessly applies to Train Dreams, a period drama and Best Picture nominee with a deceptively straightforward premise about a laborer working in the forests of Idaho and through the American West at the turn of the 20th century, uncertain of what impact that the increase in technology — such as the railroad — will have on himself and those he lives to provide for and protect. That laborer is Robert Grainier, who is beautifully brought to life by Joel Edgerton, in a performance that is so understated and yet so nuanced, with him able to say so much while not saying anything at all.

How Netflix’s Oscar-Nominated ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Made Its Speaking Trio the Voices of a Phenomenon

Taylor Gates — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:00:12 GMT

Upon sitting down with the trio at the Netflix offices in the heart of Hollywood, it’s immediately clear that Arden Cho, who voices the role of Rumi, the main vocalist and head of the group, is a natural-born leader. Sitting with impeccable posture in a sheer button-down shirt under a black dress, she almost always responds to the questions first, and her answers are confident, polished, and filled with passion. May Hong, who plays Mira, the trio’s rebellious main dancer, is effortlessly cool, lounging back in her all-black outfit, edgy cutouts in her sleeves. Her words are often cloaked in the same wicked sense of deadpan humor as her character. Sandwiched in the middle and buzzing with energy is Ji-young Yoo in a ripped vest top and funky zippered pants. The youngest of the three by a decade, Yoo is similar to her character, Zoey, the group's rapper and lyricist: contagiously enthusiastic, disarmingly friendly, and wise beyond her years.
