For someone who neither studied film nor opera, Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov has done a remarkable job of making a name for himself. Having directed well over 100 performances, received standing ovation from the renowned Cannes film festival for his film ‘Leto,’ Serebrennikov is one of the most respected and daring directors of this century. He has worked directing in Moscow and operas across Europe including Amsterdam and Vienna. Having spent almost two years under house arrest for allegedly embezzling funds – which he defends as a politically motivated trumped-up charge, Serebrennik...

It's happening again. Sort of. After a cryptic message shared on the social media platform X last week, David Lynch has announced exactly what it is we can "see and hear": a new album titled 'Cellophane Memories', with his past collaborator and 'Twin Peaks: The Return' star, Chrystabell. Due to be released August 2, the first single, 'Sublime Eternal Love', was shared today alongside a music video. Strange and haunting, in that trademark Lynchian way, the video features three Chrystabells singing to the camera, each flickering in and out of vision, harmonising with one another. The lyrics are ...

Diane, 6 PM, 27 May. David Lynch has announced a new project via a cryptic video message on the social media platform X. Wearing his trademark Wayfarer shades despite being in a very dark room, the 78-year-old said, "Ladies and gentlemen, something is coming along for you to see and hear, and it will be coming along on June Five." June Fifth is henceforth known as June Five. Despite the sparse information given, Lynch fans have already begun to speculate. The "see and hear" aspect suggests something movie or TV related, and if so - huge. But you can never be too sure when attempting to deciphe...

This is the toughest review I’ve had to write in a long time. It borders on impossible, as I stopped noting down plot points for Megalopolis very early on in my attempt to take notes during the screening, as this insane baroque fever dream billed as a “Roman epic” and "A Fable” defies all description. Megalopolis has to be seen to be believed. And I don’t mean that in a good way. I don’t care if it’s the likely swansong from the veteran filmmaker behind such classics as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and The Conversation. Nor do I care to entertain those who’ll delude themselves into thinking t...

His return to the Croisette this year is one of the major talking points amongst cinephiles. However, veteran filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, who is in Competition for the Palme d’Or with his latest project Megalopolis, is now facing reports that he ran a chaotic set, which included him smoking pot, leaving cast and crew stranded for direction, and behaving in “an old school manner” with female extras on set. The story was first reported by TheGuardian, which cited sources who said Coppola, 85, made women sit on his lap and tried to kiss several topless or scantily clad female extras. Megalopo...

Acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof has confirmed that he has managed to leave his home country without official permission, after being sentenced to eight years in prison and flogging for national security crimes. Last week, the Iranian court found Rasoulof’s films and documentaries to be “examples of collusion with the intention of committing a crime against the security of the country.” This sentencing came days before the start of the Cannes Film Festival – where his new film The Seed of the Sacred Fig is set to premiere in Competition on Friday 24 May. In a statement issued from...
