Carlos, the main subject, is one such case: originally from Mexico, he crossed the border at the age of nine with his three brothers and his parents. Now in his late 30s, Carlos has spent all of his adult life in America, yet there is no legal pathway for him to citizenship. A tragedy looms large. Jorge, one of Carlos's siblings, was deported to Mexico after a minor driving offence, leaving behind his partner and his son.

In Shubert Alley, which runs between West Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Streets, Jeremy Irons, dressed in a tweed cap turned backward and three artfully arranged layers of European workwear, pointed to a patch of asphalt beneath the marquee of the Booth Theatre. "This is where I used to argue with the police that I should be allowed to park my motorcycle. But they made me put it in the damn car park up the street," he said.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.

The well-reviewed reboot directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet has been one of the best-selling 4K Blu-rays at major retailers since preorders opened July 11--the same day the DC Studios film kicked off its successful theatrical run. The Limited Edition Steelbook has been sold out for months, but Walmart just opened preorders for a Lenticular Art Limited Edition featuring Superman and Clark Kent.

Inspired by Mark Twain's book Life on the Mississippi (1883), which recounts his time as a Mississippi River steamboat pilot, Brown's 2019 film of the same name explores the history and identity of the river from Twain's era up until the present. Retracing Twain's route from Memphis, Tennessee, to New Orleans, Louisiana, Brown finds the contemporary path far less romantic but no less intriguing than Twain did a century and a half earlier.

When Monty Python and the Holy Grail premiered in 1975, it didn't just skewer King Arthur legends - it rewrote the rules of comedy filmmaking. A bizarre, low-budget, medieval farce made by a group of British sketch comedians and bankrolled by rock stars! It sounds like a Monty Python sketch in itself. But behind the absurdity lies an equally absurd production story. Here are 10 behind-the-scenes facts that prove truth really is stranger than fiction.

A grainy circle flashes on the top-right corner of the screen at the Eagle Theater. The single-screen repertory cinema, run by the nonprofit organization Vidiots, was showing a 35-millimeter print of Paul Thomas Anderson's psychological drama "The Master." The faint warning is easily missed by most viewers, but it appears every 10 minutes, alerting the projectionist to change the reel.

But after years in the shadows, the country has finally found its place in the international spotlight with a number of distinctive, relationship-centred and critically acclaimed films and television shows in what many are describing as a Norwegian golden age. The last few months alone have seen the release of Dreams, the third of Dag Johan Haugerud's Oslo Stories Trilogy, which won the biggest prize at this year's Berlin film

I was doing a play with the writer Suhayla El-Bushra at the National [Theatre], and we were approached about making a film. At the time, the media was full of stories of young people that made that fateful journey to Syria, including Shamima Begum [the London teenager who travelled in secret to Syria to become an IS bride in 2015]. We noticed how those young women were so vilified. They were portrayed as monsters, and nobody was really seeing the experience from their point of view. We felt that that that was really needed.

Envisioning how British culture might react to its own demise, director Danny Boyle introduces a world shaped by nostalgia, opening with a quasi-medieval village interspersed with patriotic clips from Laurence Olivier's 1940s adaptation of Henry V. Quarantined by a kind of turbo-charged, involuntary Brexit, the survivors in 28 Years Later aren't just nostalgic for the Before Times - they're modeling their lives on the distant past. With its historical reference points and deceptively picturesque rural setting, the film disrupts our expectations for a legacy sequel, often feeling closer to The Wicker Man than the urban survival horror of the original 28 Days Later.

Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd is facing a situation that few tech executives ever encounter: watching her own life story dramatized on screen - without her involvement. Hulu's new biopic about the 35-year-old entrepreneur premiered on Sept. 8. Swiped stars Lily James as Wolfe Herd and traces her dramatic rise from Tinder cofounder to Bumble CEO and youngest woman to take a company public. But Wolfe Herd herself says the project has left her deeply uneasy.

Blade Runner (1982) was a sci-fi noir film starring Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer that has since become hailed as a classic. It featured Hauer as Roy Batty, a Replicant, with the appearance of a normal man to a casual observer, but is actually a genetically created Super-Soldier designed for combat missions, who has an "expiration date", i.e., when he is predestined to die.

"I really wanted it to be that first moment where they really connected. "There's a little scene right beforehand, which is literally a Grindr conversation, that many of us have all the time, in dialogue form. "So when they eventually got past that and they got deeper, I wanted it to be in this beautiful space, which is why I set it there."

The result is a labyrinth of dark rooms where old projectors spit out discarded sequences, with the rough and seductive grain of 35 millimeters. Beams of light flash through the exhibition, inviting the visitor to enter the film, as happened in The Purple Rose of Cairo, only this time we are beckoned into the turbulent Mexico of the end of the last century.

In an industry that has long sidelined women's voices, filmmakers Rachel Noll James and Sienna Beckman are rewriting the narrative.
