American author Jay Parini’s 2020 memoir “Borges and Me: An Encounter” read as a charming extension of an anecdote any writer would dine out on for the rest of their life: the tale of how Parini, as a college student in the 1970s, was somehow partnered on a winding road trip through the Scottish Highlands with the venerable Argentine literary icon José Luis Borges. Like any good anecdote, it feels healthily embellished — Borges was doubtless a character, but is fashioned on the page into a Character — in ways that director Marc Turtletaub‘s enjoyable, good-natured screen adaptation appears to…
The Adults Season 2 finale wasn’t always going to end with another life-changing kiss between Paul Baker and Anton. Thankfully, Owen Thiele fought to give viewers an intimate moment between the friends-turned-housemates-turned-husbands. “I pushed for the kiss, ultimately. I did push for the kiss.

In 2021, Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation partnered with Cineteca di Bologna to launch a new 4K restoration of Sambizanga, the second feature film directed by the filmmaker and political activist Sarah Maldoror, at Il Cinema Ritrovato. Since then, prints of Sambizanga and Maldoror’s many later works have been some of the most in-demand properties on the repertory scene, with retrospectives at various institutions from MoMA to Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. And next up on the trail is London, where, next week, the British Film Institute will launch its own large-scale survey of Maldoror’s sprawling career.

Daniel Craig and Alexa Davalos share a kiss in Defiance 2008Image via Paramount Pictures As the world prepares to welcome a new James Bond, it’s worth remembering that the job isn’t without its drawbacks. In addition to the frenzied attention that actors cast as Bond attract, they also find themselves typecast for the first few years of their stints. It’s only after they retire from the role that their experiments are appreciated. Daniel Craig was embraced as Benoit Blanc in the Knives Out movies after playing a similarly over-the-top character in Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Lucky. His three other attempts to headline…
