“The film seemed impossible to make,” Leos Carax said in a statement shared about his film. “Then an image came to me: a tiny star, alone and lost in the dark infinite — the smallness of Annette in the face of the world. I thought of Masha, a little girl I knew years ago in Ukraine. She was two years old. At times, she almost looked like an old lady, but she was beautiful in a way that moved me....
“It’s so surreal and very wonderful that people want a second season,” Taylor-Joy recently told Deadline following her big awards nomination week. “We never thought about it, there was no discussion about it. That said, never say ‘never’ in Hollywood.” When asked what her hopes are for Beth Harmon’s future, the actress responded, “It would be very interesting to see how Beth would be as a mother, now that she’s sober and more cognizant of the demons that pull her down....
A young Parisian filmmaker whose delicately personal work (“Eden,” “Things to Come,” “Goodbye, First Love,” et al.) illuminates the unbearable lightness of being with the soft touch of a late summer breeze, Mia Hansen-Løve may not be the first 21st-century auteur who comes to mind when people consider the portentous legacy of Ingmar Bergman, a man whose cinema stared into the void in the hopes of seeing its own reflection, and shouted down God’s silence with such howling rage that even his comedies are probably still echoing in eternity....

From genetically engineered extinct species suddenly roaming the earth, to choreographed fight scenes and explosions, and alien invasions threatening life as we know it, the ’90s brought a new level of cinematic genius as high quality graphics and new directorial styles emerged....
“We’re trying to portray what it’s like being a kid right now and anxiety seems to be central so many kids’ experiences,” Kroll said. “Obviously, we didn’t know about a global pandemic, but we did know there was going to be a national election around the time the season came out, and it proved to be anxiety ridden in its own right. Fear of intimacy and connecting with other people was weirdly hard for all of us to write about this season....
The “Whale” star joked during the 2022 Mill Valley Film Festival that it was his “bad” a “George of the Jungle” climatic sequence involving his character George saving a parachuter on the Bay Bridge was believed to be real. The 1997 film featured Fraser as George, a Tarzan-like character who is a fish-out-of-water in San Francisco after leaving the jungle. Now, 25 years later, and Fraser is setting the record straight about production halting traffic at the time and leading to local newscasters believing the film stunt was real....
