Like everything with WB and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune franchise, things are designed and presented with polished perfection. I do not believe we have highlighted any of the key art from the franchise in this column previously,  though. So here we are, with this earth (sand) toned tack-sharp photographic series of posters from Concept Arts.  No credit block, or even ‘above the line’ credits here.

Returning to feature-film filmmaking after an altogether too long 18-year hiatus, writer-director Lance Hammer’s (Ballast) drama, Queen at Sea, revolves around an incredibly difficult, nearly impossible end-of-life decision.   As Leslie’s (Anna Calder-Marshall) dementia robs her of her mind, memory, and identity, how much agency or autonomy should she continue to receive, whether from her loving husband, Martin (Tom Courteney), of almost 20 years, her daughter, Amanda (Juliette Binoche), a middle-aged professor on sabbatical, or the state’s relevant institutions, when, inevitably, they’re called upon to intervene on Leslie’s behalf and her best interests?    From its first moments mirroring Freud’s primal scenes to its last devastating moments, that question hovers over Queen at Sea as it unfolds over several days, weeks, and months. For the…

In films like Meru and Free Solo, Jimmy Chin set a high bar for mountaineering documentaries. His latest, co-directed with Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, is an extremely challenging work that questions the very idea of climbing. Everest: The Other Side is pitched as a story about Jim Morrison’s attempt to be the first person to ski down from the summit of Everest. Morrison wants to ski the North Side, a steep rock face that narrows through two couloirs. He will be joined by his wife Hilaree Nelson, an elite climber. Since the North Face is in the Republic of China, the skiers have to run a gauntlet of political obstacles. Furthermore, they need a support team of Sherpas, cinematographers, doctors, logistics experts, and patrons. That’s on…
