After 25 years, YI YI still remains one of the greatest films ever made — Moviejawn by Shah, Staff Writer On the twelfth of March, I had the privilege of seeing the 4K restoration of this on the big screen in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for its 25th anniversary.

MJ’s @supershah10.bsky.social says, “The impact YI YI has on cinema and its filmmakers—past, present, and possible future—is virtuous.”

Interesting review. I have enjoyed Romvari’s short films, really looking forward to catching her first feature.

Rabbits from Inland Empire. Three rabbits stand in a dimly lit room with teal walls. One figure, dressed in a suit, stands near the door, while another, in a pink dress, is seen from behind at a table. A third one, in a light shirt and brown pants, sits on a couch.

It’s rabbit season! A looney love letter to Bugs Bunny - The Boston Globe Looney Tunes, and its beloved characters, have proved remarkably resilient over the decades with good reason.

We have a new feature at the Globe called ONE SPECIAL THING where anyone can write about something in the arts that they passionately adore. My turn in the barrel is all about the Looney Tunes cartoons, specifically those that feature Bugs Bunny.

I agree. I've always been a fan of the vinegar-based sauce!

UNC Tar Heels branded BBQ sauce? That can't be good!

So sorry, Marya. My condolences.

In the Zone: Sandra Hüller’s Intimate Approach to Creating Characters The German actor’s starring roles in “The Zone of Interest” and “Anatomy of a Fall” have put her at the center of the 2024 awards conversation.

Interviewing Sandra Hüller for this cover was a proud day. She revealed things about her process that she normally keeps to herself. "You're doing a job on me!!" she said playfully. Asked how I became a journalist, and told me it was clearly what I was meant to do.

THIS is where it all begins. #OpeningDay

This is a fascinating read. Another reminder that noir situations are timeless.

#FilmNoir Odd Man Out (1947)

hasn't Jafar Panahi been through enough

Probably the most amazing image of the night, Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi forced to go to the Oscars while the US wages war on his home & people, only to encounter Shark Tank MAGA dipshit Kevin O’Leary, then looks at him like Blade looks at a vampire.

"there is no best among them, there is just the mood that day." hell yeah PTA the cinephile #Oscars

Oscar Sunday meets Silent Sundays, so I’m looking back at the first Oscars ceremony where F.W. Murnau’s SUNRISE: A SONG OF TWO HUMANS (1927) became the first, and only, film to the win the Oscar for Best Unique and Artistic Picture!
