Over three features set in his native Iceland, Hlynur Pálmason has established a distinctive feel for the power of landscapes and elemental forces to shape human relationships, positioning them in stark relief. A feeling as intimate as isolation can take on epic dimensions under the writer-director’s gaze, notably in his 2022 head-turner Godland, an austerely beautiful study of man vs. nature whose spirituality is pierced by shards of wily humor and Lynchian strangeness. Similar qualities are evident in The Love That Remains (Ástin sem eftir er), albeit on a smaller canvas of domestic breakdown.

Serving as his own Dp — and shooting on 35mm in Academy ratio — Pálmason’s expansive sense of composition remains striking in this drama of a ruptured marriage, which is never less than compelling even at its most frustrating. His untethered imagination generates images that can function as visual metaphors or abstract enigmas. But as the film...

Exclusive: Warner Bros. Discovery’s Chief Legal Officer Savalle Sims, a longtime member of David Zaslav’s corporate inner circle, is leaving the media giant.

The sudden news of the forthcoming departure of the company’s legal chief was unveiled by CEO Zaslav in a note to staff that was sent out in the past hour. As the missive states (read it below), Sims will continue at Wbd over a transition period as a replacement is sought and hired.

However, I hear that Sims’ exit is unrelated to the turmoil the company finds itself in with lawsuits with the NBA over TV rights and the courts hitting the pause button on Venu Sports, the sports streamer that Wbd was in business with Disney and Fox on.

With Discovery since 2011 and running the company’s Litigation and Trademark legal teams, Sims...
