The Seattle Times and Newsday are just the latest plaintiffs to take OpenAI to court, alleging copyright infringement.

The Fairphone 6 Plus feels like an extremely average midrange Android phone and I couldn't be more thrilled. The mission has always been admirable. Fairphone seeks out ethically sourced materials and offers a high degree of repairability for its devices. But the phones themselves required a lot of sacrifices, like putting up with underpowered processors and bad cameras, in order to embrace the sustainability mission. The latest generations of Fairphone have inched toward closing that gap, and the 6 Plus achi

Wim Wenders has clarified his much-discussed statement about filmmakers’ role in politics that kicked off a firestorm at Berlin Film Festival earlier this year.

The Oscar-nominated director of 'Pina' and 'The Salt of the Earth' returns to 3D for 'From Inside Out: The Architecture of Peter Zumthor,' a portrait of the Pritzker-winning architect behind LACMA's $724 million David Geffen Galleries — and a defense of beauty in a world of flattened cities.
Wim Wenders’ 3D documentary “From Inside Out,” which has its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday, examines the work of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor, paying particular attention to the design and construction of the David Geffen Galleries of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In the film, the result of […]

As anyone who has made a great-author biopic (or even watched one, for that matter) can tell you, writing is among the hardest professions to make cinematic. The slow churn of ideas, the second-guessing and self-editing, and even those rare, exhilarating surges of creative flow are all part of a stubbornly interior, usually static process. […]
Audiences got the first glimpse at a triumphant and career-defining performance from Andrew Scott in “Elsinore” this weekend, but the Telluride player also delivers another important gift: legendary show business gossip. Central to the plot is an infamous real-life moment in the history of the U.K. theater — when Daniel Day-Lewis stopped cold during a […]
The screen is usually a canvas, but it becomes a window to an enormous room in Wim Wenders’ latest 3D documentary, “From Inside Out – The Architecture of Peter Zumthor.” Within that room unfolds the tale of the Swiss architect of the title, told in occasionally laborious ways. It spends much of its two-hour runtime […]

Some of the main breakouts of Swiss cinema in 2026—and the few years that precede it—share one striking commonality: they are either entirely in English or feature large chunks of English. Think Petra Volpe’s Locarno-winning “Frank & Louis,” Damien Hauser’s festival darling “Memory of Princess Mumbi,” Denis Rabaglia’s buzzy “Butterfly Stroke” and, of course, Tim […]
Jesse Eisenberg has made his most significant debut to date. There is a delicious irony at the center of “The Debut,” Eisenberg’s third feature as a director, which world premiered at the Telluride Film Festival: it is a film about a nobody who attacks a bit part as if it were the role of a […]
What holds it together is the suppleness of Eisenberg’s voice as a writer-director (the wit that singes, the story that never stops poking around corners), and the utterly astonishing performance of Julianne Moore, who plays a crumpled-up wallflower in dire need of blooming. Oh, does she bloom.
Premiering at Telluride, the film follows a meek New Jersey housewife who gets cast in a local production headed by a domineering director, and then increasingly loses herself in the role.
Director Andrea Pallaoro returns to the Venice competition with an intimate three-hander based on the final original screenplay by Bernardo Bertolucci.
If you’re ever thinking of attempting a single-location film, choose that location with care. Make it high-ceilinged, light-filled, book-lined, with a reading-nook conservatory area, a gargantuan sofa, a killer sound system and space enough that you don’t even have to turn sideways to sidle past the grand piano. If possible, have it overlook a neatly […]
In “Woman Unknown,” May el-Toukhy takes a closer look at women accused of having relationships with German soldiers during World War II. “When we started to build a story about a ‘horizontal collaborator,’ we realized that, during and after the war, the female body became part of national identity. But in Denmark, it wasn’t really […]
This Venice competition entry from director May el-Toukhy ('Queen of Hearts') revolves around a maid whose past threatens to unravel her future in the wake of World War II.
Against the rubble gray and stiff mahogany with which director May el-Toukhy washes out her post-Second World War Copenhagen, the pops of crimson in “Woman Unknown” announce a stark symbolism that’s about as subtle as the red swastika eventually smeared on the front door of protagonist Marie (Mathilde Arcel). As obvious as these subliminal scarlet […]
