Female Filmmakers in Focus: Rebecca Zlotowski on "A Private Life" | Interviews | Roger Ebert
The filmmaker talks about working with Jodie Foster in her first French-speaking lead role, and more.

Deeply sad to hear Hungarian master Bรฉla Tarr passed. A titan of cinema who pushed formal/narrative boundaries. Truly the type of art that can change how you think of the art form itself. Feel so lucky to have interviewed him during his last LA visit. RIP: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Incredible piece about protesters from different US cities who all have one thing in common: they lost an eye during a George Floyd protests in when police shot them with "less lethal" crowd-control weapons

The Shot-in-the-Eye Squad
As Black Lives Matter protests swept the nation, the rubber bullets and tear gas canisters started to fly. This epidemic of โ€œblinding by policeโ€ inspired our unlikely network of survivors.
