The familiarity between the Enache family, who lived for two decades in the Bucharest Delta, and the filmmakers who found them is easy to believe: they spent three years together, charting course from a rural life to a more rigid one in the metropolis. The Enaches once eked out a pastoral life in a remote area away from the city, foraging the land, with hardly any brush against modernity aside from the trips into the city to sell fish, and occasional rings from Gica’s cell phone, usually of a foreboding nature....

In a new interview with CNN (via Variety), Baldwin opened up about the toll that Trump’s accusations took on him and revealed that he even feared for his safety when he saw what Trump’s most violent supporters were capable of. “The former president of the United States said [I] probably shot her on purpose,” Baldwin said. “To me, that was the only time I was worried about what was going to happen....

The upcoming A24 film and Garland’s third feature is “a horror movie about a sense of horror,” or, more simply, “a ghost story,” as the director described to Entertainment Weekly. Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley stars as Harper, a young widow who has rented an isolated holiday home in the English countryside following the death of her husband (Paapa Essiedu). However, the innkeeper (Rory Kinnear) warns Harper against biting into the “forbidden fruit” on the property, and Harper can’t stop seeing his face in every resident in town....

As the film readies for a 4K release to celebrate its 21st anniversary, Fugit is happy as ever to chat about his experience making the film, including revealing a self-professed “spoiler” for everything that happened after the credits rolled and his preferred cut of the film. The new 4K, out this week from Paramount Home Entertainment, doesn’t just boast a Crowe-supervised transfer, but also the inclusion of both the original theatrical cut and the “Bootleg” cut (aka “Untitled”), which includes almost 40 minutes of additional footage and was first available on the film’s 2001 DVD release....

The Emmy-nominated star of “The Dropout” admitted to Porter magazine that she found it “devastating” to not be cast as Glinda the Good Witch in Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked” musical adaptation. The role ultimately went to singer Ariana Grande. “I lost out on a big role that I really wanted — [well], I thought I wanted,” Seyfried explained. “It was devastating, and it wasn’t for any other reason than I really felt like it was right....

The A24 Gen Z satire slasher film, co-starring Pete Davidson, Lee Pace, Rachel Sennott, Maria Bakalova, Myha’la Herrold, and Chase Sui Wonders, centers on a party game turned deadly. New York Times critic Lena Wilson wrote in her review that the film “doubles as a 95-minute advertisement for cleavage,” leading actress Stenberg to send a direct message to Wilson on Instagram. “Your review was great,” Stenberg wrote. “Maybe if you had gotten your eyes off my tits you would’ve watched the movie!...

Still, despite the funeral setting, there isn’t much mourning going on here. Yes, Haddish sheds a few tears when admitting that COVID isolation has forced her to seek out sex via [shudder] a monogamous relationship, and Ziwe’s excellent evisceration of corporate racism via the death of beige band-aids is as genuine as it is passive aggressive. But most of the five-minute stand-up routines are celebratory. Silverman waxes poetic on the death of MAGA....
