Jag skrev om Robert Redfords långa karriär i Fokus. Han hann med att vara skådis, regissör, festivalgrundare, och inte minst stilikon. #RobertRedford

Shu Qi at the press conference for her first film as a director. It's called Girl (Nühai), and was surprisingly good. Especially, the cinematography by Jing-Pin Yu. #Venezia82 Stay tuned for the review.

Magellan by Lav Diaz - The Disapproving Swede

A review of #Magellan by Lav Diaz, which featured in the Première section of this year's Cannes Film Festival. A short film by Diaz standards. #Cannes2025

I reviewed Lav Diaz's #Magellan, which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in the Première section. It's shockingly short by Diaz's standards, at a mere 165 minutes.

Everyone has the same beliefs. It's basically a lefty Twitter, but way more aggressive. When even Mark Cuban says it's gone too far, that says a lot.
