Death unites us all. And societies are shaped by not just the dread of that inevitable outcome but the common manners in which we push those existential thoughts aside. Consumerism, conspiracy theories, and collective trauma collide in Noah Baumbach's daring adaptation of a novel that may have been published in the mid-'80s but undeniably speaks to the issues that continue to dominate our culture in the 2020s. A story of a family unmoored from their already fragile existence by an airborne toxic event has relevance to the COVID era that author Don DeLillo couldn't have imagined specifically. Yet, the source material here is designed to speak to a larger sense of trauma and fear—elements that will never go away as long as that pesky Grim Reaper remains in our lives. Baumbach's adaptation of "White Noise" unpacks these complex themes with a playful spirit for about 90 minutes before the writer/director arguably loses his grip on the more serious material in th...

As a companion to our beloved feature on great performances , we asked our writers this year to pick out any non-acting element of the year they wanted to highlight. It could be editing, costume design, score, etc. And the responses were fantastic, assembled in the feature below. Again, this is not meant to be comprehensive. There are amazing accomplishments in filmmaking craft that are not included. It's just a way to highlight elements of appreciating in the year in film in a way that you may not have considered. Carol Spier 's production design in " Crimes of the Future " In terms of invisibility, it can be argued no filmmaking discipline suffers as acutely as the production designer. Costume designers can start fashion trends, cinematographers are always alongside the director in set photos, and editors have even begun to be understood as key creatives. And yet the production designer remains an enigma for many film devotees.  Designers like the late Sir Ken ...

19th-century Austrian monarch Empress Elisabeth of Austria was so well-liked in her time that she's been portrayed in comics, theater, film, and television dozens of times over the last century since her death. The most internationally successful was Ernst Marischka's 1950s trilogy of romantic films starring a teenage Romy Schneider . With a figure as frequently depicted as Sissi, it's easy to think there's nothing left to say about her. Yet with their film " Corsage ," star Vicky Krieps and writer/director Marie Kreutzer have found a fresh, modern approach to capturing the rebellious side of her spirit. Kreutzer studied film at the Vienna Film Academy and has since directed short, television, and a handful of feature films, including festival favorites "The Fatherless," "We Used to Be Cool," and "The Ground Beneath My Feet." Her films often explore the inner lives of women in flux, coaxing complex performances from her leadin...
