DC Edit | Benegal was about good cinema

It would require Shyam Benegal’s brilliance and accuracy to encapsulate concisely the art and craftsmanship, the skills and craft of Benegal, the master of parallel cinema. It must necessarily be acknowledged that Benegal’s cinema, like a Sourav Ganguly team, was about individual brilliance matched with the understanding that teamwork is imperative. He has worked of course with the likes of …

It’s time the world understands a nuclear war cannot be won

Al Jazeera

We all need to listen to the survivors of nuclear war, and support their struggle to convince all nuclear states to give up their arsenals. When United States President Ronald Reagan and his Soviet counterpart Mikhail Gorbachev met in Geneva in 1985 they agreed “A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.” It was the prelude to …

Review: A reinvented Daniel Craig burrows into the heart of a lonely expat in ‘Queer’

LA Times

If director Luca Guadagnino has proven anything during his remarkable 2024, it’s that he is the preeminent depicter of erotic desire on-screen. His sexy spring sensation “Challengers” became a phenomenon with its hot-under-the-collar tennis matches, and he’s assembled the same group of collaborators for the surreal and sweaty “Queer,” an adaptation of the William S. Burroughs novella written in 1952 …

Jeff VanderMeer painted a grotesque picture of climate change. Now he’s back for more

NPR

Jeff VanderMeer painted a grotesque picture of climate change. “I’ve never really been into the idea of ‘lore,’” said author Jeff VanderMeer in an interview. “It seems useful to try to avoid that categorization to some degree so that people can see novels for the totality of what they are.” In the original trilogy, the Southern Reach is the government …

Election 2024: Trump's pitch to women voters on abortion and IVF is grotesque, but it makes sense.

Slate

What, most politicians ask themselves, do women want? Trump’s Republican Party is also the best on IVF, he said, better than Democrats—and in fact, he, Trump, is the “father of IVF,” an absurd claim he boasted three separate times. But it’s really clear that Trump knows how bad Republicans look on this—and he credited the “fantastically attractive” Sen. Katie Britt …

'Trumpian emotional trifecta': Op-ed warns Vance will ape shouty SCOTUS 'bully' at debate
