Max Borg’s Venice 2024 Diary

Did the 81st edition of the Venice Film Festival live up to its decades-long reputation?

The Ultimate Cut of the infamous movie is now out, but just how ultimate is it?

The 2024 Karlovy Vary Film Festival devoted part of its lineup to the Western genre.

Nearly a century after its premiere, Abel Gance’s silent epic is finally available in its original form.

The late, great French filmmaker is in the spotlight on the Criterion Channel.

In 2004, Todd Phillips turned a classic TV show into his funniest movie.

The 74th Berlinale was a bittersweet experience, albeit an overall rewarding one.

First released in December 1973, Robin Hardy’s folk horror remains a fascinating piece of mishandled cinema.

The best theatrical Looney Tunes project is also the one its own studio appeared to have the most contempt for.

Twenty years ago, Michael Bay produced the cinematic rebirth of Leatherface, initiating a series of increasingly dire horror remakes.

Despite the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, the Italian festival managed to be business as usual, for better or worse.

The French festival was supposedly back to basics this year, but was that really the case?
