Taking the top prize, Best Film, is Kelly Reichardt’s “First Cow,” released theatrically in March before being pulled from theaters and rescheduled for a VOD release later in the year due to the pandemic. The rest of the winners cover a range of films, with “Da 5 Bloods” and “Never Rarely Sometimes Always” being the only two titles to score two separate wins: “Da 5 Bloods” won Best Actor for Delroy Lindo and Best Supporting Actor for Chadwick Boseman, while “Never Rarely Sometimes Always” won Best Screenplay for its writer-director, Eliza Hittman, and Best Actress for newcomer Sidney Flanigan....

“True crime” and “expectations” always seem to make for a curious pairing. For every voracious listener/reader/watcher that wants whatever’s in front of them to follow a familiar rhythm and trajectory, there’s a reporter/screenwriter/filmmaker looking to subvert those expectations from the inside out. So it’s no surprise that the opening minutes of “Only Murders in the Building” manage to handle both of those goals at the same time. There’s voiceover table-setting, but with an unexpected purpose....

How odd stories remain and get distorted with time. I have just read in IndieWire some public remarks by Viggo Mortensen about the Palme d’Or that I didn’t win for “All About My Mother,” which went to “Rosetta.” I don’t think Viggo is the right person to talk about this. On top of that, he is a friend of mine and his words have shocked me, but I suppose he was defending his director, David Cronenberg, from a curse that has been following him since 1999 and for which I am not to blame....

The theater, which seats 228 people, first opened in 1929. It was long subsidized by Tarantino before he took over in 2007 to keep the location open and screening classic movies on real celluloid film prints. (Tarantino became the new landlord when the previous owner, Sherman Torgan, died.) Since 2014 Tarantino also served as head curator of the venue, mandating that only 16mm and 35mm prints be shown, and chucking out the digital project brought in by Torgan’s son Michael....
