From filmmaker Thea Sharrock (Call the Midwife) and comedian Jonny Sweet, Wicked Little Letters is the perfect breath of hilarious fresh air that lets its two leads off the leash to do what they do best.
Vera is a gender-questioning youth growing up in Smallville, Kansas in a dystopic world overseen by Batman. They’re a huge fan of improv comedy and hope to someday join the cast UCB Live, a comedy troupe whose show is a big hit. When they finally grow up and move to the big city of Gotham, Vera gets a shot at becoming part of the team. However, a computer designates them as a male Joker and puts limits on the type of comedy they are permitted to enact. This prompts Vera to join up with other outlaw comedians to try and start their own troupe. An encounter with “Mr. J”, a transgender comedian, leads Vera to finally recognize that she has the power to buck the system and identify as a transgender woman.
Guadagnino’s films are known for their steamy sensuality, and this film is no exception — Zendaya’s performance in this romantic thriller has been hailed by critics as one of her best and bravest roles. With a cast rounded out by Josh O’Connor (The Crown) and Mike Faist (Panic), and a soundtrack featuring new music from NIN’s Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Challengers is sure to be the grand slam of the summer!
Josh O’Connor (The Crown) stars in this very magical and very real romantic drama written and directed by Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher. And, award-winning cinematographer Hélène Louvart’s camera work – which has been a feature of films from directors like Wim Wenders, Claire Denis, and Jacques Doillon – adds lots of depth to this enchanting period piece set in the 1980’s.
Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Ron Frank’s thoughtful documentary Remembering Gene Wilder is a fitting tribute to one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, examining Wilder’s life on stage and screen, his personal relationships with people like Gilda Radner and Richard Pryor, and his post-film career as an Emmy-winning TV star, novelist, and painter. The world may never see a talent like Wilder’s again, and this touching film will serve to keep his memory freshly in the minds of people for generations to come.
