Fresh from Panic Fest 2024, The Ceremony is About to Begin unwraps itself like a meticulously preserved mummy, serving up a fresh twist on the horror mockumentary scene. Directed by Sean Nichols Lynch, this found footage film cleverly marries the allure of ancient Egyptian rituals with the chilling uncertainty of cult dynamics, all captured through a ‘documentary’ lens.

The phrase 'eat the rich' might be partly a joke, but it did originate in France, during the Reign Of Terror - it was pointed out by the leader a commune that, if the poor had nothing left to eat, they would eat those who left them in their poverty. As the phrase, and the recognition of what capitalism and the class system have done to our world, it's perhaps fitting to have a new edition of Claude Chabrol's The Ceremony (La Cérémonie) for our enjoyment and edification. The 1997 film, based on the novel by UK author Ruth Rendell, which itself draws from a true story, tells of Sophie Bonhomme (Sandrine Bonnaire), a young woman who finds employment as a housekepper for the well-off...

“Dance First,” a portrait of Irish writer Samuel Beckett starring Gabriel Byrne and directed by Oscar winner James Marsh, will close this year’s San Sebastian Film Festival, playing out of competition.
The closing film screening, on Sept. 30, will mark the film’s world premiere.
Byrne, a memorable lead in “The Usual Suspects” and “Miller’s Crossing” who also won a Golden Globe for his performance in “In Treatment,” plays Beckett. The Nobel Prize-winning playwright was a Parisian bon vivant and WWII resistance fighter who became a recluse, living the last years of his life in a single room in a nursing home, ashamed of past actions and convinced that for much of his life he had been a failure.
U.K. director Marsh won an Academy Award for best documentary feature in 2009 with “Man on Wire.” He also directed the Stephen Hawking biopic “The Theory of Everything,” which earned five nominations at the 2015 Oscars,...

Signaling the 10th anniversary since the introduction of Art Theatre Guild, “The Ceremony” is one of the best works of Nagisa Oshima and one of those films that highlights how multilayered, both audiovisuallly and contextually, cinema can be. The movie won multiple awards in 1972, both from Kinema Junpo and Mainichi Concours.

The story begins with Masuo Sakurada, a young man, receiving a shocking telegram from his cousin Terumichi. Not sure if it is true or not, he embarks on a trip towards his cousin's cabin, along with his cousin Ritsuko, in order to discover the truth. As the fact that, for him, Ritsuko is more than a relative, the terrible story of the Sakuradas also comes to the fore, as the trip proves to be also one down a terrible memory lane.
In that fashion, the movie unfolds in three axes.

Warning: contains spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale season 4 episodes 1-9.
When Esther, a 14-year-old child being sexually abused by her elderly ‘husband’ and others he invites to assault her says “maybe there are no good men in Gilead,” it’s hard to argue. In season four of The Handmaid’s Tale, June gently tells her that she thinks there are good men everywhere. “It’s just complicated. Gilead makes it hard to be good.”
June’s right on all counts. For all Gilead’s performative piety, goodness is not something it values. The regime inculcates cruelty and precludes solidarity. In the aftermath of its bloody power-grab, dissenters were wiped out and disobedience became punishable by death. Anybody who’s survived to this point – seven years in by season four – has found a way to live with unconscionable things, either as a prisoner of Gilead or a collaborator in its brutality… Or,...
