Arts Editor Eve Jackson reports from the Cannes Film Festival, highlighting the return of Belgian filmmakers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne with their new film "Young Mothers". The film offers a raw, intimate look at five young women navigating early motherhood in a communal home. Through their struggles, the Dardennes explore themes of resilience, solidarity, and liberation from generational hardship. Eve also contrasts this with Iranian director Saeed Roustaee's harrowing portrait of isolated single motherhood. She's joined by social media journalist Stella Elgersma to share some festival highlights and behind-the-scenes moments.
Fabrizio, en plus de 25 ans de carrière aura choisi des routes en zigzag, des routes sinueuses où d'un soir, il joue Bonaparte mis en scène par Robert Hossein avec 100 comédiens autour de lui devant 3000 spectateurs et d'un autre soir où dans un petit théâtre bruxellois, devant 75 personnes, il joue son spectacle « à genoux » en nous faisant rire et pleurer tout en participant à l'histoire de notre cinéma belge avec les frères Dardennes.
Before they take up their new program, The New Black Film Canon, Joshua and Andrew break down several of April's newest releases in a special bonus episode. They agree that Nic Cage-starring Renfield sucks, but have a slate of their own new reviews, including Ari Aster's Beau is Afraid, the Dardennes' Tori and Lokita, docs-fiction The Plains, Nike backstory Air, and Suzume, from the director of Your Name.

Felicity Beckett speaks to legendary Belgian directors Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne about their new film Tori and Lokita, in cinemas now. This Cannes award-winner by the renowned Dardenne brothers is a moving and typically uncompromising drama about two teenage migrants trying to build a new life. Tori and Lokita are living in Belgium after surviving a dangerous journey together from West Africa. Though they have a close relationship, they aren't related but pretend to be siblings so that Lokita can secure her residence papers. Desperate to pay the traffickers who smuggled them into Europe and send money to relatives, they supplement their wages from restaurant work by selling drugs. But Tori and Lokita - beautifully played by first-time actors Pablo Schils and Joely Mbundu - are ill-equipped to deal with an uncaring and predatory world, and events soon spin out of their control.

Gerard Huisman is een van de meest eigenzinnige distributeurs van Nederland. Zijn Contact Film, gevestigd in Arnhem, is gespecialiseerd in kleine, kwetsbare films. Huisman spreekt trouwens liever van cinema. Huisman introduceerde in ons land regisseurs als de gebroeders Dardennes, Carlos Reygadas en Bruno Dumont, en hij scoorde - onverwacht - kassasuccessen met films als 'Etre et Avoir' en 'The Story of the Weeping Camel'. Afgelopen december kondigde de 70-jarige Huisman aan geen films meer uit te brengen in de Nederlandse filmtheaters - het ging financieel al niet best en dan had je ook nog corona: van de 12 laatste titels die hij aankocht kon hij er afgelopen jaar maar vijf uitbrengen. Floortje Smit wandelde met hem door Amsterdam.
Adrian and Helen talk about 'The Devil, Probably' (Robert Bresson) and 'Two Days, One Night' (the Dardennes brothers), as well as solidarity, quilting points and 'intersectionality'.
Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, two favorite filmmakers of Seeing & Believing, have a new film out, so of course, the guys are on the case! Wade and Kevin take a close look at the Dardennes' story of a young teenager who is attracted to Islamic fundamentalism, and they discuss its spiritual underpinnings, its compassionate perspective, and where it falls in the Dardennes' body of work. The guys then turn their attention to Kitty Green's #MeToo drama, The Assistant, a riveting look at the struggles and compromises of a young woman who works for an unscrupulous executive.
Dave and Alonso somehow tie Robert Bresson, Tyler Perry, the Dardennes, and Snickers commercials to the week's new films.

This week we tackle the latest film by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, 'The Unknown Girl', on the Curzon Film Podcast; plus there's a discussion on Spike Lee's latest 'Chi-Raq'.'The Unknown Girl' tells the story of a young doctor, compelled to find out the identity of a woman who died after she was refused surgery. A painfully current film, the Dardennes film poses moral and ethical questions, in that piercingly intimate setting, the doctors surgery. There is also a return to form for Spike Lee with 'Chi-Raq', based on the Greek Comedy 'Lysistrata', which one of our podcasters starred in, in her youth. Hosting the podcast this week is Harry Chapman, with guests Jenna Hobbs and Ersi KalentziProduced and edited by Jake CunninghamStudio services by CSRFM.comMusic supplied by incompetech Hosted on Acast.

Two-time Palme d'Or winners the Dardenne brothers discuss their response to the surprisingly negative reaction to their latest film. Plus: Oscar winner Eva Orner explains how her new documentary caught the attention of Australia’s border force and we talk to one of the stars of the famously awful film ‘The Room’.
In this 39th Oscar podcast, Gold Rush Gang member Júlia Albuquerque and I break down the winners and losers at this year's Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony where sometimes it was hard to tell the two apart. We talk extensively about the role of "armchair" criticism of the festival and the jury's awards choices and how Cannes l'enfant terrible Xavier Dolan was able to walk away with his biggest prize yet for his worst reviewed film. Júlia also reminds us how before the festival started, jury member Arnaud Desplechin remarked that he wants to find this year's Mad Max and Son of Saul yet ended up picking Ken Loach's I, Daniel Blake for the top prize. To that effect, we talk about the post-ceremony jury press conference where they defend their choices, with Donald Sutherland and jury president George Miller doing most of the heavy lifting. Obviously we look at what films are the most likely to make it through the year to Oscar season success (hint: there's really only one). Of course, actress talk dominates much of the podcast with Sonia Braga and Isabelle Huppert holding court there as the two biggest predicted Actress potentials that both lost to Jaclyn Jose. We end with what, if any, of the foreign language films might end up being Oscar submissions for individual countries.

Friends, it's that time of year again: time for some scarifying movie talk on Mousterpiece Cinema! Yes, it's Shock-tober, so you better boo-lieve that Josh and Gabe are back at it with some Halloween-appropriate movies. First up, it's M. Night Shyamalan's follow-up to his iconic ghost story The Sixth Sense, the 2000 thriller Unbreakable. (It's Bill Cosby's favorite film! Kind of! Not really! Josh will explain what that means.) And who else could talk about this film than our old friend Alexander Huls? He's back, and so's Gabe, who was willing to talk Shyamalan this time. It's another wide-ranging discussion, as everything from the Dardennes brothers to Werckmeister Harmonies to a delightfully profane Audible recommendation comes up this week. That's right: earmuffs, kids. Now, wrap yourself up tight so your bones don't break, and check out the new show!
Saturday Review comes from the 2014 Edinburgh Festivals: National Theatre of Scotland's production of a new history play looking at the Scottish Stuart kings - we've been to see James II. Front is a multilingual, multi sensory theatrical experience telling the stories of the First World War. Marion Cotillard's new film, directed by The Dardennes brothers is Two Days One Night; in order to try and save her own job, a woman has to persuade her work colleagues to forgo their annual bonus. The shameful history of colonisation and racial exploitation is explored in Exhibit B, a 'show' that has caused consternation and extreme - sometimes physical - reactions amongst those who have visited it. Sarah Waters' new novel The Paying Guests is set in 1920s London when a mother and daughter who find themselves in reduced circumstances, take in tenants leading to complicated repercussions. Tom Sutcliffe's guests this week are Lesley McDowell, Sophie Cooke and Kerry Shale. The producer is Oliver Jones.
