7 hours ago | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
With Donald Trump’s path to the Republican presidential nomination cleared, it’s a good time to take a look at this short documentary of a Trump rally. The place is St. Louis, Mo, the date was March 11, and everybody on the ground got profane and (rhetorically) punchy very fast; it’s bracingly bleak stuff. Director Alexandra Watkins is one of Robert Greene’s students at the University of Missouri’s documentary journalism program. »

The Current Debate: Beyoncé’s "Lemonade"
7 hours ago | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
It would be insufficient, writes Carrie Battan, to call Beyoncé’s Lemonade an album: “The project is also a piece of spoken word, a narrative film, a map of cultural reference points, and a window into the soul of an icon whose inner life has always seemed just out of reach.” Battan’s description hints at what has so excited the Internet in the week and a half since Lemonade’s release: it’s not only a new Beyoncé album—it’s also her most personal work yet, and one that, as Ash Sarkar notes at the London Review of Books, is uniquely political:“How has this happened? How has Beyoncé engendered such a deep sense of solidarity among women and the marginalised? Most reviewers have pointed out that Lemonade is Beyoncé’s most personal and political work to date, but few have interrogated how the album moves between the two. »

“Deadpool” was the big smash superhero hit that fanboys in particular pointed toward as proof that the genre could go R-rated to great success, and offer a twist on the standard roles we’ve come to expect in these kinds of films.

The last time we saw Adam Driver, he was emo-raging across the galaxy as Kylo Ren in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and completely losing his shit in the season finale of “Girls.” However, for his next effort, the actor is chilling out a bit, playing a low-key bus driver in Jim Jarmsuch‘s “Paterson.” Judging […]
