The Festival de Cannes, which runs from May 14 to 25, will present French actress, director, screenwriter and producer Judith Godrèche's new short film, which highlights the stories of victims of sexual violence. These individual experiences add to her own, underscoring their sadly universal nature. The Festival de Cannes thus wishes to give resonance to these personal accounts.
Cinema looks at the world, and sometimes, calls it out.
Through gestures o...

In the 100th year of MGM, MGM+ launched on Prime Video: The Lion roars again!
Iconic is the word that comes readily to mind. The circular logo through which the lion roars, before making way for the movie to follow, and the credo inscribed above it, in a band: Art Gratis Artis (Art for Art’s Sake, a principle many might question). MGM stood for Metro Goldwyn Mayer, itself a merger of three banners. The company was born in April 1924 out of a merger of Goldwyn Pictures, Louis B. Mayer pr...

With Director, Andrea Arnold along with actors, Jason Buda as Hunter, Jasmine Hobson as Peyton, James Nelson Joyce as Skate, Frankie Box as Kayleigh, Barry Keoghan as Bug, Franz Rogowski as Bird, and Nykiya Adams as Bailey, the film encapsulates a beautifully captured story of abuse, friendship, homelessness, puberty, growing up, trust, and togetherness awarding a 7 minute well deserved standing ovation from its audience.
An emotionally captivating film of a teenag...

Love Lies Bleeding, Review: Musclesbians
Some lesbian sex, a load of police corruption and bullets by the container, are the ingredients of this pot boiler. Bringing together unlikely, low-brow elements, Love Lies Bleeding might interest female body-builders and lesbians in present day USA, but has little to offer by means of entertainment, wholesome or unwholesome. It is likely to prove one of those come and go movies that have a lot of crime and muscle power on screen but do not have anythi...

Amaze on and on: Citadel: Honey Bunny (Hindi)
Raj and D.K. The duo that always pay! They take-over Citadel from and name their series Honey Bunny. “We believe in giving titles that are in sharp contrast to the content of the show. (Well, what else would you say about The Family Man and Guns and Gulabs, for example?”). Honey and Bunny, co-incidentally, happen to be the names of the leading pair, Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, in the series. This is Varun Dhawan’s stre...
Amaze on Prime video: PLOTT A LOTT GOTT
Inviting us at 12 noon for lunch at a 5-star hotel was unusual. The practice is to invite you at 12 or 12.30 pm, and serve you lunch at any time between 3 and 5 pm. Oh, the price you pay for being a journalist! Proceedings begin at around 2 pm, and last for about 1- ½ --2 hours. Lunch dare not be served before the proceedings begin, or while they are on, because savvy organisers believe that starved journalists would wait, while ‘lunched&rs...
