So you want to make a movie that inspired by The Matrix? Sure, that sounds cool, why not. But what more can you add? What can you say to audiences that hasn't been said in four other Matrix movies before this? If there's nothing else to add, if there's nothing unique or clever about the screenplay, that movie will end up becoming especially pointless. And that is exactly the result with Don't Worry Darling. Actress-turned-filmmaker Olivia Wilde's second feature film as a director is Don't Worry Darling, which premiered at the 2022 Venice Film Festival playing Out of Competition. That placement in the line-up should already be a sign this doesn't have much to offer, but now having seen it myself, I can confirm that unfortunately as nice as this movie looks - it's empty. Much like the bottles of wine and champagne that Italian restaurants put in their windows to lure you in,...

The four network daytime dramas will not be boycotting next year’s Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony as they’d threatened to in July. In an unprecedented show of unity, after being dissatisfied with the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ response to screw-ups during this year’s awards show, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital and The Young and the Restless banded together this summer to present a list of complaints and demands for changes that prompted NATAS to commission an investigation by an outside counsel. The report from that review was put out November 8.
“The four daytime dramas are in receipt of NATAS’ internal investigation report and recommendations moving forward,” a spokesperson of the four series said in a statement to Deadline. “As a group, we are not in agreement with all of the conclusions that NATAS reached.

Exclusive: Poland’s Akson Studio, producer of Andrzej Wajda’s Venice title Walesa. Man Of Hope, is preparing a film set in the world of the Polish mafia.
Speaking exclusively to ScreenDaily, producer Jan Kwiecinski said the feature, titled Totem, will be “a very raw movie in the vein of films like Bullhead or Pusher.”
He added: “It will be made with non-professional actors, very dark, low budget, and totally different from what we are doing at the moment.”
Totem will mark the feature directorial debut of Jakub Charon, who has previously written and directed two short films, Traces and Tension. He is also a member of alternative rock group NarcolipZ and an author of two novels.
Warsaw Uprising shoot underway
Akson is halfway through its 63-day shoot of Jan Komasa’s Warsaw44 about the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. The $8m production is already being touted as the biggest Polish film of 2014.

I slam three cups of coffee, and go see “Zabric Bobra,” aka “To Kill a Beaver,” an intense Polish film about a rogue operative who’s hiding out in a country farmhouse and hooking up with a local wild child while plotting some kind of complicated revenge. I’m impressed with the strong performance of the lead actor, Eryk Lubos. I’m also quite favorably impressed with a long and convincing sex scene that actually raises a blush on my maidenly cheek (as in, it’s hot). The director, Jan Jakub Kolski, is blurbed as “the master of Polish magical realism.” This one is more realistic than magical. Much later, checking his 14-film filmography online, I realize I saw his “Venice” (more magical than realistic) last year at the Seattle International Film Festival. I’m continually reminded during film festivals of just how much more there is out there than...

International film festivals are flourishing across the country. But are they aimed at native speakers only, or are Brits finally embracing foreign cinema?
On a chilly Sunday evening in March, the lobby and bar of the Riverside Studios in London are heaving. The cheery chap behind the ticket desk, says they're nearly sold out. The audience has come to see Venice, the latest film from the master of Polish magical realism, Jan Jakub Kolski. It tells the story of an 11-year-old boy whose dream of a trip to Venice is wrecked by the outbreak of war in 1939; he is sent to stay with his aunt in her sprawling villa, where the pair build a vision of the city in her flooded basement.
The screening is part of the annual Kinoteka Polish film festival which runs until 13 April in London and other UK cities. If you like foreign film, the London Spanish film festival,...
