Writer-director Pablo Berger’s Robot Dreams opens on a nighttime shot of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan skyline in the distance. The year is 1984, and the Twin Towers loom, figuratively and literally, as ghostly figures. Berger’s breathtaking adaptation of Sara Varon’s graphic novel of the same name isn’t about the towers in any specific fashion, but about a world in which change is the only constant, life of any kind is at the mercy of randomness, and joy and melancholy are in ongoing symbiosis. In other words, our world—albeit one populated here, not by humans, but by anthropomorphic, humanoid animals.

Weird sisters have been spinning their witchy webs in stories dating back to Greek mythology, which included a macabre trio of sisters who passed a single eye between them. There is something of that sense of a closed circle of unknowable femininity between the two teenage girls in September Says, the first film to be directed by Greek Weird Wave actor Ariane Labed, based on the 2020 novel Sisters by Daisy Johnson and set between England and Ireland.
July (Mia Tharia) is timid, a new girl at the high school where her sister September (Pascale Kann) already is marked as unruly, aggressive and peculiar, inclined to bullying; she will appoint herself as her sister’s protector. July is relieved to hang back, even when there is a hint that her sister’s control-freakery might include commanding the weather. There is a whiff of the witch about her, too.

Oscar-nominated “Robot Dreams” is getting a theatrical release almost one year after its Cannes debut.
Directed by Pablo Berger, “Robot Dreams” is based on a graphic novel by Sara Varon and follows the unexpected friendship between a dog and a robot. Dog lives in Manhattan and is tired of being alone, so he does what any good boy would do: build himself a robot companion. Their friendship blossoms until they become inseparable — until Dog is forced to abandon Robot at the beach. And it’s all set to ’80s music.
The Oscar-nominated feature premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and later won the Special Jury Prize at the Animation Is Film Festival. “Robot Dreams” marks the “Blancanieves” filmmaker Berger’s animated feature debut.
“With ‘Robot Dreams’ I wanted to explore the infinite narrative possibilities of animation. A medium
where everything is possible and there are no formal limits,” Berger said in a press statement.

The biographical documentary is a genre that lends itself to a reliable storytelling formula. First, we look back on the origins of the subject; we are introduced to some of the key figures that helped them along the way; we are shown the beginning of their career all the way to the end, and are then left to contemplate their legacy.
Due to the predictability of this format, these documentaries can often come off as by-the-numbers, taking us on a telegraphed emotional journey intended as a crowdpleaser. But every once in a while, there’s a subject who is so unique that their story elevates the formula. Allee Willis is one such subject, with a life story that’s energetic, colorful and invigorating to witness. Director Alexis Manya Spraic crafts a documentary that strives to be just as fascinating as its subject.

‘Robot Dreams’ Review: Androids Dream of Disco Beats in Pablo Berger’s Sweetly Sorrowful Buddy Movie
Android or artificial intelligence isn’t the enemy in “Robot Dreams,” Pablo Berger’s gently whimsical fantasy of a loner finding manufactured friendship in a scuzzy vision of 1980s New York City. Indeed, one takeaway from this portrait of a shabby-happy Big Apple populated solely with anthropomorphic animals and surprisingly sensitive automatons is that the world might be a better place without humans in it. Like “Blancanieves,” his silent, flamenco-styled spin on Snow White, Berger’s fourth feature dispenses with dialogue in favor of cheerfully expressive, faux-naive visual storytelling. In all other respects, however, “Robot Dreams” is a significant left turn for the Spanish writer-director, beginning with an entirely fresh medium for him: simple, sharp-lined 2D animation in the manner of a pastel-softened “BoJack Horseman.”
Both the film’s aesthetic and its wordless approach, however, are rooted in American author and illustrator Sara Varon’s 2007 graphic novel of the same name.

Iqbal H. Choudhury’s “The Wrestler” and Mori Tatsutya’s “September 1923” were announced joint winners of the New Currents competition at the Busan International Film Festival.
“The Wrester” “was like a single round match, magically depicting an exciting narrative,” the jury said. “We support the bravery to face the history that had been forgotten,” the jury said of “September 1923.”
In the separate Jiseok competition, open to more experienced Asian filmmakers, the joint winners were Prasanna Vithanage’s “Paradise” and Mirlan Abdykalykov’s “Bride Kidnapping.”
“Vithanage exposes how a corrupt regime ruins this beautiful country by obstructing peace, depriving its citizens of humanity as they corner them into oppression,” said the separate Jiseok jury. Calling “Bride Kidnapping” a “powerful film,” the Jiseok jury said, “This film vividly depicts the prevalent shocking customs in Kyrgyzstan with unforgettable characters and a straightforward narrative.”

The desire to escape everyday pressures since the pandemic has seen viewers like myself going back to old favorites such as Gilmore Girls or finding something newer like Virgin River, currently streaming its fifth season on Netflix.
With each season reaching Netflix’s top ten, Virgin River has capitalized on fan’s love of Robyn Carr’s 21-book-long series of the same name and our increasing impulse to find new shows that don’t require too much of our attention. Virgin River is precisely that as it lacks terror-inducing Jaws music and instead provides Hallmark-esque vibes with the added dash of danger from the illegal drug trade surrounding the town.

Thursday night’s audience at Broadway’s Here Lies Love got a surprise bonus performance when DJ Fatboy Slim, who co-wrote the musical with David Byrne, took to the stage and spun a one-night-only set following the show.
Among those audience members: Byrne, who hugged and did a brief dance with Slim (aka Norman Cook) when the DJ jumped from his stage booth to the dance floor of the heavily renovated Broadway Theatre. The DJ’s 90-minute set was his first New York City show in more than 10 years.
During the set, Slim spun such records as Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” and John Paul Young’s “Love Is in the Air,” not to mention Byrne’s own “Lazy” and his Talking Heads classic “Once in a Lifetime.”

It might be counterintuitive to suggest that film festivals are lonely places. What about the crowds, all the social gatherings and random conversations with strangers, you might rightfully ask. But they ultimately are, often leaving one alone with their own thoughts and a painfully sleep-deprived stamina. Which is perhaps why that the undercurrent of loneliness in the melancholic and dialogue-free “Robot Dreams,” a wonderful 2D animation by Spanish director Pablo Berger, felt so real and disarming straightaway to this critic on a lonesome, rainy morning in Cannes.
But make no mistake; even outside of the festival circuits, this sweet film on love, friendship and life in New York City is bound to strike a chord with general audiences willing to be coddled with something both innocent and grown-up, that defies the bloat of present-day Disney in its warmth and complexities. After all, the need to have that one special companion...

Effectively a dialogue-free oddity like his black-and-white breakthrough Blancanieves, comic-sad fable Robot Dreams, an adaptation of a graphic novel by Sara Varon, represents Spanish director Pablo Berger’s first foray into 2D animation.
Set in a recognizably scruffy cartoon version of 1980s New York, the main characters are a lonely dog and a robot he builds for companionship, living lives of quiet desperation among a teeming metropolitan menagerie of bipedal animals. (Think old Looney Tunes shorts, or BoJack Horseman but without any fully human characters or zingers.) Acquired by Neon just before its premiere in Cannes, this often charming but patchy and sometimes slightly confusing work is likely to find a niche audience in New York itself and perhaps beyond. But its wistful, melancholy tone won’t make it easy to market, especially as it doesn’t feel like it’s for either young children or for the slightly older crowd who are into racier,...

Bella Hadid shared a breathtaking set of pictures wearing a skimpy bikini by the beach.
On a recent Instagram post, Bella Hadid is seen posing wearing a revealing black bikini which she covered up with a silk vest-looking piece and a matching skirt.
This whole look gives old money vibes, and Hadid is the perfect representation of a Greek goddess, one of the few people that can pull off this look. The set looks to be white at first, but as you continue scrolling through the pictures, you’ll realize it is actually a very sheer tone of pink.
Starting with the top, the puffy sleeves elevate its shape, giving it more sophistication. The skirt looks to be cut straight but Bella placed it right below her hips, allowing...

Cinematography retrospectives are the way to go—more than a thorough display of talent, it exposes the vast expanse a Dp will travel, like an education in form and business all the same. Accordingly I’m happy to see the Criterion Channel give a 25-film tribute to James Wong Howe, whose career spanned silent cinema to the ’70s, populated with work by Howard Hawks, Michael Curtz, Samuel Fuller, Alexander Mackendrick, Sydney Pollack, John Frankenheimer, and Raoul Walsh.
Further retrospectives are granted to Romy Schneider (recent repertory sensation La piscine among them), Carlos Saura (finally a chance to see Peppermint frappe!), the British New Wave, and groundbreaking distributor Cinema 5, who brought to U.S. shores everything from The Man Who Fell to Earth and Putney Swope to Pumping Iron and Scenes from a Marriage.

“The only absolute in history is change,” said the Victorian historian Lord Acton. He might have been talking about the streaming platforms’ current international strategies. Since they launched internationally, Netflix and Amazon’s focus and priorities have been in constant evolution. Current pressures – evolving demographies, new regulation, new competition, still untapped growth – mean that re-engineering won’t stop any time soon.

The Leopard pounced into the semi-final of “The Masked Singer” with a powerful performance of “We Are Young” by Fun on Tuesday’s show. On the December 11 episode of the reality competition series. the Leopard will be vying for one of just three places in the final. Also in the hunt are four other famous folk who are competing as the Flamingo, Fox, Rottweiler and Thingamajig.
We think that the Leopard has the best voice of the bunch. We were shocked when he landed in the bottom 2 in week 7 but blame his song choice: “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire. We weren’t surprised when he won the sing-off with his rollicking rendition of “Don’t Cha” by The Pussycat Dolls.
We’ve taken another look at those performances as well as his other three appearances. In week 2, he owned the stage with his cover of the Queen classic “Somebody to Love.

The Leopard scared up enough votes in his first four appearance on “The Masked Singer” to make the quarter-final on December 10. He is competing for a place in the semi-final alongside celebrities disguised as the Flamingo, Fox, Rottweiler, Thingamajig and Tree. Each is hoping to win the audience vote and avoid a sing-off in front of the four judges.
The Leopard first took to the stage in week 2 with a rollicking version of the Queen classic “Somebody to Love.” Two weeks later, he showed us his versatility with a version of “Stitches” by Shawn Mendes. In week 5 he covered Katy Perry‘s signature song “Teenage Dream.” We were surprised in week 7 when his performance of “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire put him at risk. But he rallied and won the showdown with “Don’t Cha” by The Pussycat Dolls featuring Busta Rhymes.

We are now down to the final six competitors on the sophomore season of “The Masked Singer.” With only a half-dozen covert celebrities remaining in the competition, it’s time to do another power ranking of who is the most likely to win this season’s contest. Now, since the last power ranking I put together, two of the top three from that listing have been eliminated so I’ve taken a bit of a different method in determining the order for this list. Do you think we have these in the right order? If not, how would you reorder them? Make sure to post your thoughts in the comments below.

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn are incredibly private about their romance, but one of the biggest mysteries about their love story is when they actually started dating. While news of their relationship first broke in May 2017, they had actually been seeing each other months before that. In fact, Taylor reportedly met Joe when she was still with Calvin Harris in May 2016. Though she began dating Tom Hiddleston shortly after, the two eventually called it quits in September 2016, and that November she was spotted attending a screening of Joe's film Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. Which brings us back to the question: When did Taylor and Joe really start dating? Well, per usual, Taylor might have given us a clue in one of her songs.
