<p>Lea Seydoux had two projects in competition at Cannes this year, and both of them polarized critics. They’re, uh, confrontational features, and one of them — Marie Kreutzer’s Gentle Monster — was soon snatched up by Netflix for a Fall release. Inspired by some of the controversy surrounding how Corsage, Kreutzer’s prior feature, had its release derailed by one of its actors’ crimes, Seydoux stars as an avant-garde musician whose actor husband may not be the kind of person she […]</p>

In case you missed Air, the last movie he directed, it turns out that Affleck is still one hell of a filmmaker, so you better bet we’re excited for this riff on Hostage. He’s […]</p>

<p>We’ve been in a ’90s kinda mood this summer, and it’s probably due to nostalgia for the Last Great Decade and a time that wasn’t just an absolute shitbath each and every day. Having a ’90s-coded soundtrack certainly doesn’t discourage our hypercolored daydreams, and now Forest is here to drop a dose of angsty longing against a backdrop of glitchy electronic alt-rock textures. The Los Angeles artist dropped throbbing new single “Divine Machine” this week, another sonic preview of the […]</p>

Per the announcement earlier this week, the louder-than-life comedy fan favorite is making his way back to Boston for what is already a highly anticipated return on November 6, as he takes over The Wilbur once more. Aside from […]</p>
