February––particularly its third week––is all about romance. Accordingly the Criterion Channel got creative with their monthly programming and, in a few weeks, will debut Interdimensional Romance, a series of films wherein “passion conquers time and space, age and memory, and even death and the afterlife.” For every title you might’ve guessed there’s a wilder companion: Alan Rudolph’s Made In Heaven, Soderbergh’s remake, and Resnais’ Love Unto Death. Mostly I’m excited to revisit Francis Ford Coppola’s Youth Without Youth, a likely essential viewing before Megalopolis.
February also marks Black History Month, and Criterion’s series will include work by Shirley Clarke (also subject of a standalone series), Garrett Bradley, Cheryl Dunye, and Julie Dash, while movies by Sirk, Minnelli, King Vidor, and Lang play in “Gothic Noir.” Greta Gerwig gets an “Adventures in Moviegoing” and can be seen in Mary Bronstein’s Yeast,...

Despite the wall-to-wall coverage of Hurricane Katrina, there wasn’t a lot of archival footage of some of the more devastating moments that producers wanted to depict in Apple TV+’s Five Days at Memorial — like when the roof came off the Superdome and the 9th Ward flooding. So VFX supervisor Eric Durst said his team went back “forensically” to research those moments before depicting them in the limited series.
It took nine months alone to re-create the breaching of the 9th Ward levee.
“We had to visualize what that was, the breaching of the lower 9th Ward, where a wave of 12 to 20 feet was unleashed. It was like a tidal wave that wiped out everything in its path,” Durst said at Deadline’s Visual Effects + Screen awards-season event. “We wanted to be as accurate as possible. This event took 1,400 American lives. We had to be very...

Recreating post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans was a monumental task for the crew of “Five Days at Memorial,” including for cinematographer Ramsey Nickell. It required building a façade of the hospital loading ramp and a section of what was across the street and then the major work began. “They built a tank around it…like one of those backyard pools. I built one of those all the way around it with these reinforcements around the edges and then a plastic liner and a million gallons of water,” he tells Gold Derby during our Meet the Experts: TV Cinematographers panel (watch the exclusive video interview above).
The tank also required the ability to move around the blue screens that surrounded it and have access which led to a massive effort when it came to getting other objects in there. “Every truck, every boat, everything that’s in the water in that tank...

Now that you've seen more of the horrors inside Memorial Hospital, we've got more insight from some of the stars on Five Days on Memorial.
Julie Ann Emery, Cornelius Smith, Jr., and Adepero Oduye play three pivotal characters -- administrator Diane Robichaux, Dr. Bryant King, and nurse Karen Wynn, respectively.
Find out their thoughts as the drama unfolded for their characters and the hospital.
All the actors were tasked with bringing to life one of the greatest disasters of our generation. Julie Ann Emery had to do it with a 13-pound prosthetic pregnancy belly. That helped her get into the role of something she otherwise couldn't imagine.
Emery had finished shooting something in New Orleans just two weeks before Katrina hit. "It felt personal to me to watch on the news, but I don't think I had any awareness of what was happening inside New Orleans hospitals while this was going on.

Toward the end of “Five Days at Memorial,” a character offers their sympathy by saying “I can imagine what you went through.” It’s an effort to make a human connection, even when discussing the details of an unthinkable set of circumstances. The other person’s response is simple: “Oh no, you cannot imagine. You have no idea.” It’s an indicative exchange for this Apple TV+ series, not just because it lays plain the emotions involved, 17 years later. It’s that the show is trying to embody both sides of the conversation at once.
Over eight episodes, “Five Days at Memorial” does its utmost to faithfully recreate the conditions of a hospital in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, effectively cordoned off from a rescue effort struggling to help any neighbors, too. Yet, in those moments of merely recreating the look and the feel of new Orleans’ Memorial Medical Center...

Apple TV+'s new miniseries, "Five Days at Memorial" - out Aug. 12 - traces five harrowing days at a New Orleans hospital in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Pairing archival and news footage with the fictionalized scenes, the show reminds viewers that the chaotic time period that followed the natural disaster really happened not even 20 years ago. How much of the fictional onscreen story is based in reality? Quite a lot, as it turns out.
What Really Happened at Memorial Medical Center?
"Five Days at Memorial" is based on a nonfiction book by the same name, "Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital" by Sheri Fink. The book, in turn, expands on an article that won Fink the Pulitzer Prize, "The Deadly Choices at Memorial," published as a joint project by ProPublica and The New York Times in 2009.

Crowds at the DGA theater in Los Angeles were buzzing on Monday night when Chris Pine made a surprise appearance on the red carpet. Pine came out to the “Five Days at Memorial” premiere to support his dad, Robert Pine, in his newest acting endeavor.
The father-son duo posed together before Chris made his way into the theater, letting his father walk the line to talk to the press.
For Robert, his decision to get involved with this project came down to the script. “John Ridley and Carlton Cuse wrote [the script], and you just don’t get good writing like that all the time,” Pine told Variety. “I mean, any actor here can tell you that. So when something like that comes up — whether it’s even a small role or whatever — you leap on it because you want to be part of something like that.”

The series is based on actual events, chronicling the impact of the hurricane — which quickly became one of the deadliest natural disasters in the country’s history — and its aftermath on Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans. When the floodwaters rose, power failed, and heat soared, exhausted caregivers at the hospital were forced to make decisions that would follow them for years to come.
In a trailer released Wednesday, nurses, doctors, and residents brace for the hurricane as it races toward the city. As the sun rose over New Orleans the next morning, thousands were trapped inside the hospital, begging for help.

Filmmaker Dee Rees made history on June 29 when her debut feature “Pariah” joined the Criterion Collection, making the Oscar and Emmy nominee the first Black American woman to have her work included. Before Rees, Euzhan Palcy, who is from Martinique, was the lone Black woman to have a film (1989’s “A Dry White Season”) selected.
“It feels like a formal acknowledgment of the film’s impact to the canon and being a part of the culture,” Rees tells Variety of having her movie chosen. “Even though artists have to try to find your validation from inside, it’s nice to be seen.”
And as a Black filmmaker in particular, Rees adds, “it’s important to be included for future generations of filmmakers, if [Criterion] is the thing that’s being taught in schools.”
“When they’re absent, then the assumption is there’s none in existence,” she explains. “There’s no Black filmmakers here,...

Ten years ago, filmmaker Dee Rees changed the game for queer filmmaking with her stunning semi-autobiographical debut feature, “Pariah.” The compelling coming-of-age story is set in Brooklyn and follows 17-year-old Alike (Adepero Oduye), a whip-smart high school student trying to grapple with her identity. At the same time, her straight-laced church-going parents, portrayed by Charles Parnell and Kim Waynes, continue to deny Alike’s evident sexual awakening.
“Pariah” was a force. Arriving at the Sundance Film Festival 15 years after Cheryl Dunye’s “The Watermelon Woman,” Rees’ first feature was nominated for countless awards and cemented her status as a major filmmaker. She followed it with “Mudbound” in 2017, which scored her an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. Her last effort, the Netflix-produced “The Last Thing He Wanted,” yielded mixed reviews — but Rees has already moved on with a slate of promising new projects, all of which suggest she’s...

What’s exciting about “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is that the limited series format on Disney+ provided a great opportunity for director Kari Skogland to dig deeper into the Captain America mythology than the previous Marvel features. She had a vision for a gritty psychological thriller and took full advantage of the nearly six hours to explore the legacy of the shield on micro and macro levels, with Falcon Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) finally taking on the mantle as a unifying racial force.
Indeed, it’s about Sam’s crucible to become the first Black Captain America in a chaotic, post-Blip world, and teaming up with Bucky/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) after disastrously relinquishing the shield to John Walker (Wyatt Russell).
From a visual standpoint, the shield was the driving force for cinematographer P.J. Dillon. “Kari definitely wanted to take a slightly rougher approach than the features, and...

Fans of the Disney+ show are so worked up that they got the hashtag #ReleaseTheBuckyAndSarahCut trending
“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” fans are clamoring for scenes of Bucky and Sam Wilson’s sister, Sarah, flirting after the show’s director said there’s footage that never made it into the show.
Fans of the Disney+ show seemed to love whenever Bucky (Sebastian Stan) flirted with Sarah (Adepero Oduye) on the show — and some of them even got #ReleaseTheBuckyAndSarahCut trending on Twitter on Friday because the demand is so high. (The hashtag is an obvious nod to the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut hashtag fans used to pressure HBO into releasing Zach Synder’s “Justice League” take.)
One fan even went as far as to say it’s a “literal crime” that more flirting footage hasn’t emerged.
Here’s a taste of what fans had to say about the budding romance:
