Now, he’s leveled up again in Telluride stature by serving as the festival’s guest director. Over the course of this year’s five-day event, Jenkins will introduce six screenings of films handpicked by a director best known for blending his passionate cinephilia with underrepresented voices. His program does that, too: While Jenkins’ favorite director Claire Denis is represented with her debut “Chocolat,” along with Aleksandr Sokurov’s seminal long-take in “Russian Ark,” those choices appear alongside Isaac Julien’s experimental “Looking for Langston,” Maritanian director Med Hondo’s 1979 musical “West Indies,” the Palestinian sex worker drama “Garden,” and selected works by multimedia artist Kahlil Joseph....

“It’s such a stronger film if you let the story be told not only through the actors or whatever but also the framing because then everything is working in sync,” James Deakins said. “The film is telling you but it doesn’t feel like you’re being talked to. When we worked on ‘Sicario,’ we worked with Benicio del Toro, who is such a great actor, and he would come up to Denis often and say, ‘You know what, there is a whole page of dialogue and I don’t think I need it because I think I can say it on my face....

Where to Watch ‘Brand New Cherry Flavor’: Netflix After a holiday weekend when plenty of TV viewers either wrapped up or began their “Yellowjackets” Season 1 watches (possibly both!), there’s the inevitable search for something to fit those same vibes. While nothing’s going to be an exact one-to-one, there’s a show from last summer that should slide nicely into that ‘90s headtrip void for anyone who hasn’t already taken the plunge....

With its blend of skillfully deployed humor and general niceness, the series has proven itself as a perfect antidote to pandemic-induced malaise and has seen plaudits roll in accordingly. In fact, “Ted Lasso” and Sudeikis have won so many plaudits, including big wins at the Critics Choice Awards, Golden Globes, and Writers Guild Awards, that it not only seems like the series is the frontrunner as we head into Emmy season, but it might well be unbeatable in comedy series....
