Alejandro G. Iñárritu: ‘Tom Cruise loved this film because it freed him from the handsome, strong man that he is’

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.”

Lady Gaga, Lena Dunham and surrogacy: Why isn’t it causing a scandal in the United States?

All three are well-known, globally recognized, and outstanding women in their fields. All three became mothers just days ago, almost simultaneously. All three had children without giving birth to them: one adopted, two used a surrogate. And all three, despite their different methods and the ways they told their stories, received the same warm congratulations. But are the three cases the same? In the United States, for a large majority, the answer is yes.

Madonna and Taylor Swift, queens of an MTV VMA ceremony steeped in nostalgia for Dolly Parton, Nirvana and George Michael

It has been 42 years since MTV began honoring what it knows best and what, at the time, few people valued: music videos. Four decades have passed and much has changed in the industry. There is no self-respecting artist today who does not present their projects visually, especially in this internet era. A lot has changed since 1984, but only to grow bigger. On Sunday night, artists once again proved it.

‘Forgotten Island’ turns children’s animation into a song to friendship and roots: ‘Diversity makes us stronger’

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.

Darth Vader alongside Picasso and Banksy: George Lucas’s ambitious museum opens in LA

Explaining the world through images. Humanity has been doing it for millennia: from cave paintings to photography, cinema, living-room television and the omnipresent screens of today. Over the past decades, if there is anyone who has known how to create emotion through images, that is George Lucas, 82, director, writer, producer and the creative mind behind phenomena that have shaped contemporary culture, such as the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises. And his eye for visual narratives has not been limited to film: for decades (funded by the lucrative returns of cinema), he has also devoted himself to art collecting, and possesses an immense collection of roughly 40,000 works that he has now decided to share with the world.
