for the weekend that’s in it, here’s the frankly unbelievable jury that awarded Michael Collins the Golden Lion in ‘96

will once again not be leaving the Gran Rex this year

essential read

returns to Cannes, chaos outside the screenings, a 3.6 on the grid, zero prizes

beautifully humble, genuine stuff from Cillian—an absolute treasure

many a glass just clinked in Cork

Hayao Miyazaki didn't go to the #Oscars in 2003 because of his opposition to the catastrophic inhumanity of the Iraq War. if only we could know why he wasn't at the 2024 Oscars either.
