Moss recently sat down with Basholli to have a conversation about the artistic choices required to make a compelling film based on a true story, and IndieWire is pleased to exclusively debut the conversation in full. Basholli said that she was always drawn to Hoti’s story, and her admiration for her only grew as they spent time together. Once she got to know Hoti, it was never a question of whether or not she would make a movie about her, but simply a decision about which angle to use....

The “War Pony” director and granddaughter of Elvis Presley revealed that watching the musical biopic was an “emotional experience” during an interview at Cannes, where the movie is set to premiere out of competition. “It’s very intense to watch when it’s your family,” Keough said during a Variety interview at Cannes. “The first movie I ever watched in the theater and said I wanted to make movies was [Baz Luhrmann’s] ‘Moulin Rouge,’ I was 12....

Last Year’s Winner: Ben Whishaw, “A Very English Scandal” Still Eligible: No. Hot Streak: Hot shows don’t win. In three of the last four years, one program has earned three nominations for Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie — taking up half the category all by itself. Last year saw “When They See Us” earn nominations for Asante Blackk, John Leguizamo, and Michael K. Williams; “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” snagged nods for Ricky Martin, Édgar Ramirez, and Finn Wittrock in 2018; and in 2016, “The People v....

Helmed by long-time small-screen director Harry Bradbeer — and rife with all the winking and fourth wall-breaking you’d expect from the two-time “Fleabag” Emmy winner — “Enola Holmes” opens with a dizzying amount of information. Told in zippy, scrapbook style as Brown happily chats her way through a slew of Very Important Points, we learn the basics: she’s the youngest Holmes kid, her dad is dead, her famous big brothers don’t really know her, and she’s spent most of her life hanging out with her beloved mother (an underutilized Helena Bonham Carter)....

That said, despite the ample availability of films that are built on the concept of “guilty pleasures” and delight in unspooling wacky-crazy, sex-mad, unhinged freakfests, the telling of their stories can contain all the freshness of data entry. We have someone attractive who’s blessed with an equally attractive spouse, a good job, a lovely home, maybe some cute kids, and then they to decide to bone someone they shouldn’t (oops). They soon discover that their one-off partner is a full-throttle nutbar prepared to wreak havoc on the aforementioned very nice life....

Marshall has directed a few features over the years (“Arachnophobia,” “Congo”) and started producing non-fiction series and features (“The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash,” “Laurel Canyon,” “McCartney 3, 2, 1,” and “Sinatra: All or Nothing at All”) before moving into directing with “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” and “Carole King & James Taylor: Just Call Out My Name.” There’s no question Marshall can afford to do whatever he wants with his time....

Here’s what I have gleaned about what’s likely in the two-months delayed voting period (March 5-10), when 9,362 Oscar voters (up 893 from 2020) from 17 branches may pick the final contenders in 23 categories. Nominations come March 15, ahead of the latest-ever Oscars on April 25. 1. Besides actors, international Academy voters carry the most sway. This year, 49 percent of invited new Academy members came from overseas, including such Europeans as the music branch’s Bernie Taupin (“Rocket Man”), director Ladj Ly (“Les Miserables”), and actors Florence Pugh (“Little Women”) and Cynthia Erivo (“Harriet”)....
