“Nos decían que la serie era un éxito increíble, pero yo seguía encerrada en mi dormitorio. Leía algunos artículos y miraba los memes, pero todo era un poco demasiado para procesar, así que me protegía a mí misma. Si quería, podía desconectar. Y eso me hizo pensar en lo inverosímil que era todo lo que me estaba pasando", contaba Daisy Edgar-Jones (Londres, 28 años) a 'S Moda' en 2022, cuando protagonizó una portada. Se había hecho famosa de la noche a la mañana y eso aún la sorprendía. “De repente, ya no eres Daisy, eres Daisy Edgar-Jones”, comentaba sobre cómo la hizo sentir y la transformó el éxito de la serie 'Normal People', basada en la novela de la escritora irlandesa Sally Rooney, que en 2020 catapultó su carrera y la de su coprotagonista, Paul Mescal (que tras 'Gladiator 2' ahora será Paul McCartney en las películas sobre The Beatles que prepara el director Sam Mendes). Ahora, la actriz vuelve a meterse en la piel de un personaje literario, en esta ocasión de época: encarna a Elinor Dashwood, la hermana mayor de 'Sentido y sensibilidad', novela de Jane Austen publicada en 1811 y que ahora ha vuelto a ser llevada a la gran pantalla por la directora Georgia Oakley. En el filme, que llega a los cines españoles el 23 de octubre, Edgar-Jones es Elinor y Esmé Creed-Miles es su hermana Marianne. Durante el mes que llevan de gira, Edgar-Jones se ha volcado en reinterpretar los estilismos de la época de la Regencia, en la que se desarrolla la novela: en la imagen, luciendo un vestido transparente, creado a medida por Miu Miu, con corsé en tul bordado durante la presentación en Sídney, Australia, a principios de octubre.
En la presentación de la cinta en Los Ángeles, el 7 de octubre, las tres protagonistas posaron juntas: Esmé Creed-Miles (Marianne Dashwood), Caitriona Balfe (la inolvidable Claire Randall de 'Outlander', que en la película interpreta a la madre de las hermanas, Mrs. Dashwood) y Daisy Edgar-Jones (Elinor Dashwood). Bodhi Rae Breathnach encarna a la tercera hermana, la joven Margaret Dashwood. Durante la presentación, Edgar-Jones eligió un conjunto de falda satinada y corsé con pequeños bordados, una pieza 'vintage' de Chloé, parte de la colección primavera-verano 1999 de la firma, cuando su directora creativa era Stella McCartney. Esmé Creed-Miles llevó un vestido de la recién presentada colección primavera-verano 2027 de Simone Rocha y Caitriona Balfe un conjunto a medida de Prada.
Nada ha sido casual en los estilismos elegidos para la gira de presentación de la película, según confesó Dani Michelle, estilista de Edgar-Jones (y de otras famosas, como Hailey Bieber o Kendall Jenner), en la edición estadounidense de 'Vogue': "Mi equipo y yo pasamos meses investigando, solicitando prendas y explorando todos los diseñadores y piezas de archivo que pudieran reflejar el mensaje que queríamos transmitir, para crear una gira coherente y simbólica para Daisy".
Esas prendas seleccionadas por Dani Michelle y su equipo tenían una intención clara: mostrar cómo vestiría Elinor Dashwood en la actualidad. La gira de presentación ha sido una lección de 'method dressing' (vestir durante la promoción con estilismos inspirados en el personaje de ficción al que se interpreta), en la línea de las que suelen realizar actrices como Zendaya (con sus posados en 'Spider-Man: un nuevo día' o 'Challengers'), Margot Robbie (en 'Cumbres borrascosas') o Anya Taylor-Joy (en 'Dune' o 'Furiosa'). 'Sentido y sensibilidad' se desarrolla durante la época de la Regencia (situada normalmente entre 1795 y 1837) en el Reino Unido. Corsés, acabados satinados, encajes y colgantes con cintas de raso han sido una constante durante toda la gira de presentación. La 'premiere' mundial, celebrada en Londres el 15 de septiembre, sentó las bases de lo que vendría después con este vestido de satén con lazos en los hombros, cola y cintura marcada, un diseño a medida de Andreas Kronthaler para Vivienne Westwood (firma de la que es director creativo desde el fallecimiento de su esposa en 2022) que completó con un colgante con cinta negra, una pieza de archivo de Boucheron datada en 1877.
Los detalles, del peinado con ondas románticas y el característico flequillo abierto de Edgar-Jones, y los acabados de las prendas, como los lazos, los botones o las cintas de los corsés, han marcado los estilismos elegidos por la actriz. “Creo que Elinor, por encima de todos los personajes que he interpretado, me ha marcado por el proceso hasta llegar a ella. De algún modo tiene una buena cantidad de cualidades con las que me puedo sentir identificada. Como las luchas que tiene con los sentimientos que empieza a experimentar; la incapacidad para expresar sus deseos o la necesidad de mantenerlos dominados. Es algo que me parece muy interesante porque disfruto enormemente al trabajar en personajes que están pasando por mucho, pero no lo pueden exteriorizar”, explicaba la actriz en una entrevista concedida en septiembre a la edición española de 'Vogue'.
Stella McCartney firmó el vestido blanco con detalle de flores en los hombros y la espalda que eligió para la presentación en Dublín de la película. 'Sentido y sensibilidad' narra la vida de las hermanas Dashwood, que al morir su padre pierden su estatus porque hereda el hijo mayor, fruto de otro matrimonio, y se mudan a Devonshire, donde se enfrentan a la incertidumbre de su futuro, a sus sentimientos y a lo que la sociedad dicta que se debe esperar de ellas.
Esmé Creed-Miles y Daisy Edgar-Jones, ambas con conjuntos de falda cuerpo de Prada, juntas en Los Ángeles. Marianne representa la sensibilidad y Elinor el sentido que dan título a la novela, que ya había sido llevada a la gran pantalla en 1995, en una versión dirigida por Ang Lee (con guion de Emma Thompson, que mereció el Oscar al mejor guion adaptado) y en la que Emma Thompson interpretó a Elinor mientras que Kate Winslet fue Marianne. La nueva versión cinematográfica cuenta con la dirección de la británica Georgia Oakley, de 38 años, que en 2022 mereció el reconocimiento de la crítica con su filme 'Blue Jean', la historia de una profesora lesbiana que lleva una doble vida por miedo a perder su trabajo, ambientada en los años ochenta, durante el gobierno de Margaret Thatcher. Oakley explicó en una entrevista a 'The New York Times' que su versión de 'Sentido y sensibilidad' pretende ser "más relajada, contenida, terrenal y cruda".
Los corsés han sido la gran apuesta de Daisy Edgar-Jones para reinterpretar el estilo de la Regencia. Durante uno de los eventos alrededor de la película celebrados en Los Ángeles, la actriz lució esta creación de la diseñadora turcobritánica Dilara Findikoglu, cuyas prendas se caracterizan siempre por el aire lencero, las cinturas marcadas y el empleo de los corsés. Lo combinó con unas medias de cristal negras.
El despliegue de corsés, en distintos acabados, ha sido clave en la gira promocional de la película. En Nueva York, el 13 de octubre, Daisy Edgar-Jones combinó este de encaje y totalmente estructurado, casi escultórico, con unos vaqueros desgastados, demostrando que las piezas con inspiración de época funcionan a la perfección con prendas totalmente contemporáneas.
La estilista Dani Michelle ha contado que partió de un 'moodboard' de inspiración para construir los 'looks' de la gira promocional de Daisy Edgar-Jones: "Había desde campañas y desfiles de Galliano, Chloé, McQueen y Westwood hasta pinturas y simbolismos que nos conectaban con el mundo de Jane Austen. Volantes, motivos florales, encajes, corsetería, cintas, bordados, sedas abullonadas, borlas y tonos pastel". Este conjunto de Chloé sintetiza esas búsquedas: la vaporosa falda de gasa, con sus transparencias, contrasta con el cuerpo de brocado con encaje en el cuello y el cinturón de grandes hebillas.
De nuevo con vaqueros, en esta ocasión con un cuerpo 'vintage' de John Galliano y otra gargantilla de época, un diseño de 1873 de Boucheron. En la película, el diseño del vestuario ha recaído sobre Grace Snell ('Pillion', 'La hija eterna'), que ha sido meticulosa con la investigación de la época y ha empleado técnicas manuales para conseguir colores como los utilizados durante la Regencia, según ha explicado en su Instagram: "Para obtener el color lavanda de uno de los vestidos —un tono aceptable para el luto entonces— se utilizó un tinte extraído del palo de campeche. Esta planta es originaria de Centroamérica y las Antillas; a partir del siglo XVI, los españoles comenzaron a exportarla a Europa, donde se convirtió en una materia prima clave para la próspera industria de los tintes. El tejido 'jacquard' se contrajo durante el proceso de tintado, lo que le otorgó una textura maravillosa; me gustó tanto el resultado que pedí que esta prenda solo se planchara de forma muy ligera".
No todo han sido cuerpos historicistas en los estilismos de Daisy Edgar-Jones. También ha habido hueco para camisetas, como esta con un dibujo de un águila, combinada con un 'short' lencero rematado en puntilla. Ambas prendas son de Chloé: la camiseta de 1999 y el pantaloncito de este mismo año.
En Berlín, la actriz apostó por los detalles de pedrería con un vestido de corte sirena de Armani Privé que llamaba su atención por las borlas que remataban sus hombros. La prenda es de archivo y pertenece a la colección primavera-verano 2005 de la línea de alta costura de la casa italiana.
En Sídney, una de las primeras paradas de la gira promocional, la actriz apostó por una pulida silueta vanguardista de Alaïa con cuerpo ajustado y volantes en la falda que aun así remitía al vestuario de época.
En su última aparición pública de la gira, el 14 de octubre, Daisy Edgar-Jones caminó por las calles de Nueva York con este diseño de encaje con bordados, ribetes de puntilla y escote de corazón de Rodarte. Se trata de una pieza de archivo de la firma angelina que, según ha explicado en su Instagram Dani Michelle, resume todo lo que ha perseguido con sus estilismos para la presentación de 'Sentido y sensibilidad': "Esta película explora con enorme calidez la experiencia emocional del amor, desde el amor propio hasta el amor verdadero, pasando por la compañía y los desafíos que surgen dentro de las relaciones, que en aquella época a menudo estaban condicionadas por la tradición y la cercanía más que por los sentimientos o la razón. Ese anhelo que recorre la historia es una exploración tan atemporal del corazón humano que sentimos que era muy significativo que este fuera su último 'look'. Laura Mulleavy [una de las diseñadoras de Rodarte] y yo pasamos meses planificando este vestido de Rodarte, perteneciente a su colección primavera-verano 2017, que ella ha recuperado de la colección de su museo personal".
Other participants at the Sunday event in Los Angeles include 'Tangles' director Leah Nelson, 'Hexed' director Fawn Veerasunthorn, 'In Waves' director Phuong Mai Nguyen, 'Iron Boy' director Louis Clichy and 'Forgotten Island' director Joel Crawford.
She promised a radical new technology—bloodwork performed in a countertop-sized machine from a single droplet taken from your finger. She was young, photogenic, and self-possessed; she dressed like Steve Jobs. Her invention would disrupt the $60 billion bloodwork industry, bringing cheap, frictionless health monitoring to the masses. Or it would have, if it worked. Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors of nearly $500 million; she's currently serving an 11-year prison sentence. Holmes has been written about extensively, and her story was turned into an Emmy-winning Hulu series starring Amanda Seyfried. She is an avatar of Big Tech mendacity, a cautionary tale as much as a person.
Everyone knows the story. You would think there is nothing left to say. But you'd be wrong.
Just before she entered prison, Holmes invited documentarians Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim to live with her, her boyfriend Billy Evans, and their two young children in their beachfront San Diego rental unit, promising them full access, complete transparency. The result is this year's most entrancing documentary, You Can See Everything. When the camera captures Billy in the shower, the movie delivers on its titular promise; you, uh, really can see everything.
Yet what you cannot see is who Holmes really is. The mystery of the era's most famous fraudster is the movie's central riddle: Is she cynical, calculating, a stone-cold liar and psychopath? Or is she something stranger—a damaged and delicate person who genuinely believes her lies, or at the very least, genuinely believes the stories she tells herself to justify those lies after the fact?
Fielder and Holmes seem uncertain themselves; the movie is, in part, their own attempt to wrestle with their own ambivalence, their own inability to come to a conclusion. It's a hall of mirrors about the infinite unknowability of a person, even given unfettered access.
The documentarians do not absolve her of her villainy; the movie is not an attempt to excuse her fraud or build a case for her innocence. But they offer something exceptionally rare in this era of simplistic hero and villain narratives: genuine and deeply felt empathy for someone on whom the culture (not to mention the legal system) has cast final judgment. In the process, they have given us one of the strangest, most unsettling, and most poignant films of the year. You Can See Everything is a small miracle of a movie.
It's sometimes said that the most compelling villains don't believe themselves to be villains. They have an internally coherent story to tell that excuses their actions, makes them the heroes in their own minds. Fielder and Oppenheim have given Holmes, and viewers, the gift of allowing Holmes a measure of psychological complexity. You don't see into her mind, because that's impossible. But you see that the story she tells herself is different from the story the world tells us about her. It's surprisingly kind and generous; it's also tricky as hell—to the point where you, the viewer, might wonder if you're the one being tricked.
Halfway through, the movie takes a meta-turn that I won't spoil, entering into high-concept territory in an attempt to more deeply explore what art and images can reveal about a human psyche. It's formally audacious, often funny, and actually justifies the three-hour running time. I've never seen anything quite like it.
The exercise left me just as unsettled as the documentarians seem to be themselves; uncertain about Holmes and her motives, and nearly as uncertain about Fielder and Oppenheim, two talented filmmakers who appear to be questioning not only the nature of their chosen form, but of reality, especially psychological reality, themselves. There are times when You Can See Everything borders on magical realism, except the magic comes from the complexity of human nature and storytelling, as if Gabriel García Márquez had written a story about a man with a camera that could see into souls. It's dizzying, dazzling, a sort of postmodern Rashomon of perspective shifting.
As I left the theater, in something of a daze, I found myself thinking of a line from the great Saul Bellow novel The Adventures of Augie March, "Nobody should be a mystery intentionally. Unintentionally is mysterious enough." In the case of Holmes, it's impossible to tell which it is. All we can say is this supposedly one-note Big Tech villain, like perhaps everyone, is better understood as some kind of mystery, even to herself.
American audiences will be able to watch an English-dubbed version of “Ramayana,” a Hindi film based on a South Asian epic tradition, in theaters in November 2026. The Sanskrit “Ramayana,” or “Journey of Rama,” is an epic poem that was composed sometime between 400 BCE and 400 CE. The epic follows Rama, an exiled prince […]
“This is a very disturb¬ ing movie, made by some pretty disturbed people.” That was how Chris Carlo, owner of one of the first theaters to screen Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer in 1990, described John McNaughton’s feature debut. Made four years earlier, the film had become a cult classic before it ever reached a movie theater. Carlo programmed it for midnight screenings where audience members often walked out, unable to endure its violence.
Although they lost almost all their savings in Bernie Madoff’s multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, the marriage of Kevin Bacon, 68, and Kyra Sedgwick, 61, who have been together for 38 years, survived with their New York apartment and their farm in Connecticut intact. It was there that the pandemic lockdown found them, and there that they hatched a film together, with the help of their two children, who came from the West Coast: Travis, a composer drafted into acting by the demands of the script, and Sosie, who has already established herself as a film and television actress.
Fifty years later, Carrie White is returning to American high schools. Prime Video’s new series revisits the bullied teenager who became one of horror’s defining figures, first in Stephen King’s novel and later in Brian De Palma’s 1976 adaptation. But there is one image that remains impossible to escape: Sissy Spacek, drenched in blood, staring directly into the camera after unleashing her telekinetic powers. For several generations, the role has been synonymous with Spacek. Now, as a new actress takes on Carrie, we look back at what became of the 76-year-old performer who brought to life some of the most memorable characters of 1970s and 1980s cinema.
Spacek was 26 when Brian De Palma cast her as a high school student in 'Carrie.' The film changed her career forever, earned her first Oscar nomination and secured her a place in the cultural imagination that remains remarkably intact 50 years after its release. The actress says that teenagers still approach her today to show off tattoos of the outcast heroine. Incidentally, unlike Carrie, Spacek was her high school’s prom queen.
Born Mary Elizabeth in a small rural town in Texas, Spacek acquired the nickname “Sissy” from her two older brothers, a name by which she would eventually become known around the world. Following the death of one of them, she left home one summer for New York with an actor cousin in an attempt to escape the family tragedy. She abandoned plans to attend college and, under the stage name Rainbo, tried to make it as a folk singer in late-1960s Manhattan. It didn’t work out. Her record label dropped her, and Spacek decided to enroll in acting school instead.
Terrence Malick’s cult classic 'Badlands' marked Spacek’s first leading role in a feature film and became her breakthrough. She played a teenage girl who runs away with a rebellious young man she has just met, played by Martin Sheen, and becomes a fugitive after her father rejects the relationship. The film won the Golden Shell at the San Sebastián International Film Festival, and Spacek, who had been studying acting for only a matter of months, emerged as an unlikely Hollywood star: an anti-diva whose red hair, freckles, diminutive stature and youthful appearance set her apart from the era’s conventional screen icons.
The film also changed her life in another way: it was on the set that she met the love of her life, production designer Jack Fisk. After first crossing paths in 1972, the two married a couple of years later and have now been together for half a century, making them one of Hollywood’s longest-lasting couples. They have two daughters, Schuyler and Madison, and both remain active in the industry. Fisk's recent production design credits include 'Marty Supreme,' 'The Revenant' and 'Killers of the Flower Moon.'
Spacek became one of the defining stars of the New Hollywood era, a movement heavily influenced by the French New Wave and Italian neorealism. Beginning in 1977, the Texas-born actress received five Oscar nominations in less than a decade. Among her most memorable performances from that era are 'Missing,' directed by Costa-Gavras; 'The River,' opposite Mel Gibson; and 'Crimes of the Heart,' alongside Jessica Lange and Diane Keaton.
Spacek won her first and only Oscar in 1981 for 'Coal Miner’s Daughter,' the biopic of country singer Loretta Lynn. Lynn had risen from humble beginnings in rural Kentucky, marrying at 13 and becoming a mother of four before the age of 20. In a twist of fate, when Spacek was trying to launch a music career years earlier, a record label turned her down because her voice sounded too much like that of another artist on its roster: Loretta Lynn. That very similarity would later help earn her an Academy Award. Spacek performed all of the songs in the film herself and even received a Grammy nomination for her work.
The greatest tragedy of Spacek’s life came when she was just 17. Her brother Robert, only a few months older than she was, died of leukemia. Spacek was just beginning to work at the time and, despite the devastation, managed to turn that trauma into a source of strength throughout her career.
Spacek and Fisk married in Santa Monica in a ceremony so private that their dog was their only witness, and so informal that both wore jeans. The actress credits the longevity of their relationship to the constant collaboration between them.
At the height of their fame, Spacek and Fisk left Hollywood behind and moved to a farm in rural Virginia, determined to raise their daughters away from red carpets and the glare of the spotlight. There, they raised horses and grew their own vegetables, while Spacek returned to acting only for roles that truly resonated with her. In 2001, she earned a sixth Oscar nomination for her performance in 'In the Bedroom.'
Their daughters have followed their parents into the film industry as well. Schuyler Fisk became an actress and, while she never came close to matching her mother’s level of fame, she has enjoyed a steady career in American television and film. Madison, meanwhile, learned the ropes from her father and has worked in the art department on a number of feature films, following in his footsteps as a production designer.
One of the best-known stories from 1970s Hollywood is how Spacek landed the role of Carrie. As close friends, George Lucas and Brian De Palma held joint auditions for their next projects, 'Star Wars' and 'Carrie,' respectively. Spacek auditioned for Lucas’s film, while Carrie Fisher also took part in casting sessions connected to the horror movie. In the end, the roles found their way to the actresses who would make them iconic: Fisher as Princess Leia and Spacek as Carrie White.
Spacek’s performance left such a deep mark on popular culture that screenwriter and producer Mike Flanagan, who is once again adapting 'Carrie' for Prime Video, has said it was the biggest hurdle in casting the role anew. According to Flanagan, most of the 1,400 actresses who auditioned for the series arrived trying to imitate Spacek’s iconic performance. The part ultimately went to Summer H. Howell, whose reinterpretation of Carrie has drawn widespread praise from critics.
Although she was never associated with method acting in the way her contemporary Robert De Niro was, Spacek’s approach to her craft also relied on total immersion in her characters. For '’night, Mother,' in which she played a daughter struggling with suicidal thoughts, she would spend weeks inhabiting a deeply depressed emotional state until filming wrapped. It was none other than Jack Lemmon who warned her that if she remained so committed to despair, she might end up being consumed by it herself.
Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain and Emma Stone — whom Spacek once advised never to hide her freckles on screen again — are among the younger generation of stars who have publicly expressed their admiration for the 76-year-old actress. Stone, who also worked with Spacek on 'The Help,' has reunited with the veteran actress for 'The Catch,' the new film directed by Stone’s husband, Dave McCary.
At 76, Spacek appears to have settled on a definition of happiness far less ambitious than the one Hollywood usually sells. In a 2022 interview with 'Esquire,' when asked how she managed to remain so upbeat, she said happiness is overrated and that we need to be content and simply be.
When motherhood came calling, Spacek had little doubt about what should take priority. She even turned down the role that would eventually go to Debra Winger in 'Terms of Endearment' because she did not want to be separated from her daughter Schuyler, who was only a few months old.
Em uma carta conjunta divulgada neste sábado (10) pela revista Variety, 58 membros brasileiros da Academia de Artes e Ciências Cinematográficas, responsável pelo Oscar, entre eles o ator Wagner Moura, os cineastas Kleber Mendonça Filho, Fernando Meirelles e o produtor Rodrigo Teixeira, se dizem preocupados com os possíveis desdobramentos do segundo turno das eleições presidenciais no Brasil.
O texto cita propostas de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) de reescrever a Constituição, o desmonte da cultura sob o governo de seu pai, Jair Bolsonaro, que foi condenado por tentativa de golpe de Estado. Aborda ainda o caso, revelado pela Folha, da criptomoeda B22, que oferecia tokens a quem divulgasse conteúdos que incentivassem o voto em Flávio e dizia destinar parte dos recursos a crianças de Uganda.
Artistas temem retrocessos na cultura
“Sob a administração anterior, a indústria audiovisual brasileira sofreu com o fechamento do Ministério da Cultura, a suspensão do Fundo do Setor Audiovisual, o enfraquecimento das instituições culturais e as acusações de censura. Tememos um retorno a esse cenário”, diz o texto. “Proteger a liberdade de expressão e garantir a sustentabilidade a longo prazo da indústria audiovisual brasileira são inseparáveis da defesa da democracia.”
Menciona ainda os planos do governo de Donald Trump de enviar US$ 1 milhão para financiar grupos contrários ao STF, noticiados pelo The Guardian, sob a acusação de que a corte extrapola as atribuições judiciais e impõe censura no Brasil.
Carta pede atenção internacional às eleições
A carta, assinada também por nomes como Alice Braga, Anna Muylaert, Daniel Filho, Lais Bodanzky, Lucy Barreto, Sônia Braga e outros, pede maior atenção internacional ao pleito no país.
“Consideramos os acontecimentos no Brasil como parte de um padrão mais amplo de suposta interferência eleitoral em toda a América Latina. A defesa da democracia brasileira deve, portanto, depender não apenas do povo brasileiro, por meio de eleições livres, justas e transparentes, mas também da vigilância e do engajamento da comunidade internacional.”
When people talk about Neanderthal technology, they almost always mean stone: points, scrapers, flakes chipped from flint. There is a good reason for that. Stone can last hundreds of thousands of years, while a wooden stick buried in the ground rots away quickly. For decades, a large part of Neanderthal equipment has simply been missing […]
Eva Marie Saint, one of the last great actresses from Alfred Hitchcock’s universe, died on Tuesday, October 6 at her home in Los Angeles, family representatives said. She was 102.
He had a solution for everything. There was no problem he couldn’t tackle. Whether it was forcing open a lock by melting ice, building a defibrillator out of two candlesticks and a microphone cable, making a bomb with a stick of chewing gum or defusing one with a paper clip. He could even stop a sulfuric acid leak with milk chocolate bars. As a popular Spanish saying inspired by the character goes: “You’re more dangerous than MacGyver in a hardware store.”
“He’s here, he’s there, he’s every fucking where: Roy Kent, Roy Kent!” chants the loyal Richmond crowd in tribute to the captain of the struggling English football club at the heart of the TV series Ted Lasso. It seemed almost prophetic of what awaited Brett Goldstein, the 46-year-old actor who plays the gruff Kent. Since joining the hit Apple TV comedy’s main cast, having originally been hired only as a writer, he has gone from being virtually unknown outside the United Kingdom to starring in a romantic comedy with Jennifer Lopez, appearing alongside Harrison Ford in a television series, and becoming Marvel’s new Hercules.
Tom Cruise's new climate film Digger is turning into the "biggest flop of his career" and could lose $150m in a "historic disaster", leading Warner Bros to try a bold new marketing strategy: implying Americans are dumb.
It is Sylvester Stallone’s fourth interview of the day. Is he tired of talking yet? “No, because this is the first one about my memoirs,” he replies from a hotel room in New York, his hometown, overlooking Central Park, where he is meeting with EL PAÍS.
There is a generation of filmviewers that cannot separate Vincent Cassel, 59, from the 1995 movie La Haine (Hate), where he dominated the screen. Although more than three decades have passed, Mathieu Kassovitz’s film was already exposing the seams of modern France. A Jewish kid from the Parisian suburbs, inflamed by frustration, resentment, the poison of social exclusion, a constant sense of injustice and a desire for revenge after a friend gets killed by the police. Vince, but also Saïd and Hubert, his closest friends, formed a trio that would be unlikely today in the banlieues of the Paris periphery. An Arab, a Black man and a Jew united by that prescient smell of fracture, exclusion and identity conflicts that began to feed the hatred and stoke the fire of the far right.

Lili Reinhart isn’t interested in being a celebrity… and the 30-year-old actress has proven this throughout her career. The moment her name started making headlines for her starring role as Betty Cooper in the TV series Riverdale (2017-2023), control over what she wanted (and didn’t want) in her life seemed to slip from her grasp. And, as her fame grew, she also had to confront her insecurities: subjected to constant media exposure, her life suddenly belonged to the public.
Although Tom Cruise has maintained his star status on the big screen, the 64-year-old has avoided giving interviews to mainstream media for the past 20 years. Instead, he has focused on being an actor exclusively associated with his roles, someone who only generates conversation for his spectacular stunts in the sequels to Mission Impossible, done without doubles, or for his commitment to the seventh art, to theaters, and to Hollywood.
Digger is like a mango. It’s an acidic film, but also a bit sweet; outwardly it seems one thing but inside it contains surprises, and it needs time to ripen. Like a mango, its flavor can’t be explained. In fact, it’s better not to even try, says its director, Alejandro González Iñárritu: “The only way to know what a mango tastes like is to put it in your mouth. And you have to put this film in your eyes to understand it, because if I explain it to you, you won’t get it.”
Some lakes give up shipwrecks, and Arendsee, in northern Germany, has already given up one. What archaeologists brought to light in 2026 is something else: wood carved by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers up to 10,500 years ago. (The Mesolithic, or Middle Stone Age, is the stretch of European prehistory after the last Ice Age and before farming.) […]
There is nothing a good plate of lechón (piglet) can’t achieve. So can a story that has been in the works for a decade and speaks of friendship, migration, change, roots and food (yes, lechón too), one that is animated and aimed primarily at children, yet carries a message not only for kids. It was over dishes like that and other traditional Filipino foods that Forgotten Island was cooked up for years. Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, who are friends, colleagues and something like compatriots, have been passionately shaping the story all these years, and finally on September 25, 2026, it is opening in movie theaters worldwide.
