Netflix had a storming night at the Golden Globes with The Crown and The Queen’s Gambit helping the streamer translate its record nominations haul into TV wins. Netflix won six of the 11 television awards on offer, with Amazon and Apple winning one apiece to see the streamers dominate with 73% of the wins in the small-screen categories. It beat its 2019 performance, where The Kominsky Method helped it tie with FX to score three awards. Last year, HBO fended off pressure from Netflix and company but wasn’t able to hold them off this year, though it was surprisingly missing nominations for shows such as I May Destroy You and the cast of Lovecraft Country. The streaming wins come during a 12 months that saw the Covid-19 pandemic shine even more light on digital services in general.

Lebanese filmmakers Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige explore the importance of personal and historical memory in a drama bouncing between Montreal and Beirut. The tragedy of the Lebanese civil war extends far beyond the 1980s and into the third generation of a family resettled in Canada in the affecting drama Memory Box . It marks the first film in nine years from the award-winning team Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, whose work has ranged freely over feature films, docs, installations and performance art. Though Memory Box shows the sophisticated modernity of their artistic approach, it is also one of the most accessible of their films, thanks to a winning cast of fine actresses and an engrossing back-and-forth timeline that jumps from wartime Beirut under the bombs to the staid tranquility of modern-day Montreal. It bows in competition in Berlin, where the directors’ intelligent probing into our perception of the past should find appreciation. Among other things, … [Read more...] about ‘Memory Box’: Film Review | Berlin 2021

Platonic love between virtual strangers helps ease the pain of grief in this tender first feature from Natalie Morales, who also stars opposite co-writer Mark Duplass. You have to wonder about the shelf life of all the compact film productions being stitched together around COVID pandemic restraints, particularly those in which the visual field is limited to computer desktops. When we finally escape the confinement of video calls for most of the social interactions outside our immediate circles, is anyone really going to hunger for the dulcet chimes of a Skype connection or the flat images of a Zoom meeting? That question aside, actress-turned-director Natalie Morales shows both resourcefulness and sensitivity in her touching first feature, Language Lessons , starring as a Spanish teacher drawn closer to her student in the wake of devastating trauma. Appearing alongside her co-writer Mark Duplass, Morales pulls off the difficult trick of fostering intimacy out of a long-distance … [Read more...] about ‘Language Lessons’: Film Review | Berlin 2021
