“His muse was Hanna Schygulla, who brought her enigmatic, haughty allure to 23 of his film and television works. Now 74, with a wild mane of grey hair, she has collaborated with directors such as Godard, Béla Tarr and Carlos Saura … But she only ever gets asked about one person. Seated in the window of an empty restaurant in west Berlin, she tells me: ‘It’s because I’m one of the survivors.'”

When A TV Show Is A TV Show Is A Movie
The 10- or 13- or 73-hour-movie idea rises out of the same impulse as “novelistic” TV, or television that treats its episodes as “chapters,” or even from the urge to reframe an entire first season as a “pilot.” While the connotations of those terms may differ slightly, the underlying message is the same — one episode of TV is not enough.
‘Prestige TV’: 13 Ways To (Let Everyone) Know Your Series Is *Art*
“1. ‘It’s like a novel.’ It’s not TV – it’s literature, but with title credits and a ten-episode season order.
2. ‘It’s like a movie.’ …“
Why Can’t People Let Go Of The Idea That High-Quality Television Has To Be Like *Cinema*?
“For some reason, [people seem to think] TV can’t stand on its own as a ‘prestige’ narrative. For TV, prestige means getting reframed as something else and basking in the reflected glow of another art form’s cultural currency.” Kathryn VanArendonk looks at why this idea seems to stick, and why it’s so frustrating.
Study: Low-Quality TV Helps Create Audiences For Populist Politics
“Exposure to entertainment television, particularly at a young age, can contribute to making individuals cognitively and culturally shallower, and ultimately more vulnerable to populist rhetoric,” write Ruben Durante of Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Paolo Pinotti of Bocconi University, and Queen Mary University of London’s Andrea Tesei. “By popularizing certain linguistic codes and cultural models, entertainment television may have contributed to creating a fertile ground for the success of populist leaders,” they add.
Hollywood Studios Push To Release Movies On Video Sooner After Theatrical Runs
Though details have yet to be finalized, most of the studios agree that they must come up with new ways to shorten the gap between a movie’s theatrical release and its home video debut.
Hollywood Studios Are Getting Rid Of Their Leaders. Here’s Why
“Three of the six major studios — Paramount, Sony and Fox — have removed or replaced their top executives in the last year. Jim Gianopulos, the longtime head of the 20th Century Fox movie studio, lost his job. Some of the current leadership turnover reflects long-term struggles at the individual companies, especially Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures Entertainment, which have yet to replace their chief executives. But the management shake-ups also signal wider challenges in the movie business amid fast changing viewer habits.”
Is Uwe Boll The Worst Director In The History Of Movies?
Uwe Boll made his name, such as it is, mostly by dragging the already abhorred genre of the “video-game movie” to previously unthinkable new lows. His video-game adaptations BloodRayne, In the Name of the King, and House of the Dead are rated 4 percent on Rotten Tomatoes; Alone in the Dark has a 1 percent rating. In 2007, BloodRayne received Golden Raspberry Award (Razzie) nominations for worst director, worst picture, worst actress, worst supporting actor, worst supporting actress, and worst screenplay. Two years later, Boll received a “Worst Career Achievement” Golden Raspberry Award.
New Shows Prove That The Resolution Of A Mystery Doesn’t Need To Come Quickly – Or At All
The extension of a cliffhanger across seasons isn’t new, but the almost suspended suspense is. For shows like Big Little Lies, “their cliffhangers involve not so much people hanging off mountains as they involve people simply hanging out. They are in no rush. Their mysteries dangle, languorously. Tension is created, and then, instead of being satisfied, it … extends, episode after episode, building and heightening.”
Will Hollywood’s Writers Strike Again?
The Writers’ Guild of America has asked its members to authorize a strike, but that doesn’t mean one will happen. “The move came after what the committee described as an “unacceptable” series of ‘noes’ from AMPTP studio negotiators over the last two weeks of talks about a new three-year deal.”
