O Agente Secreto candidato ao Oscar. Gostaria de ver a campanha de Sean Penn e Julia Roberts por Manas eventualmente render frutos. Já pensaram? Dois BR na disputa? O do Kleber, claro, e o de Marianna pela própria Academia? Isso se não der só o Agente, filme e filme internacional

American Psycho by Mary Harron | Sketches | Aesthetics
Once seen as a grotesque satire of greed and masculine performance, American Psycho now reveals how easily critique can slip into aspiration.

Very interesting piece exploring how contemporary cinema has become increasingly overprocessed and tailored for immediate consumption:

Obvs Binoche’s vote weighs the same as the other juries, but if we’re playing this game, I'd say she wouldn't shy away from bold choices. Remember when she gave the bear to testosterone-fuelled SYNONYMS the year Berlinale had record female participation and female stories in competition? #Cannes2025
