Slapping the spark of life into the newborn was American rock and roll music provided by the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. And Dylan’s Mr. Jones, who has, indeed, been aware of what is happening, but has preferred to denounce the immorality of fucking around with his values, is now forced to acknowledge both the birth and its legitimacy.

Among the glammed-up stars are Angela Bassett in a deep purple Dolce & Gabbana gown; Josh O’Connor of The Crown in a look by LOEWE—a modern twist on a tux with a white silk scarf instead of a tie; and Sarah Hyland, wearing an off-shoulder Monique Lhuillier gown in scarlet, with Jimmy Choo shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

The entertainment world continues to be turned upside down by the pandemic. Though traditionally a big month for television, this February is seeing relatively few high-profile premieres. (It’s far from a complete desert, however, and includes the return of one of the FBI’s most famous fictional agents.) Those looking for movies, however, will have plenty of intriguing options, both in theaters and at home. These include both some acclaimed films that only played briefly in theaters for awards-qualifying runs back in December, and the first films to emerge from this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
