Jasmine Trinca and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (“Like Crazy”) are set to star in Paolo Strippoli’s high-concept Italian thriller “The Spiral” (“L’estranea”), which France’s Le Pacte has boarded for international sales.

Strippoli is Italy’s hottest young horror genre helmer, having made a splash with hit Netflix original “A Classic Horror Story,” which he co-directed with Roberto De Feo, followed by “Flowing” (“Piove”). His upcoming chiller “The Holy Boy” (“La Valle dei Sorrisi”) is tipped to bow at the upcoming Venice Film Festival.

Shooting is currently underway in Italy on “The Spiral” (see first-look image above), which also stars Romana Maggiora Vergano (“There’s Still Tomorrow”) and Adriano Giannini. The film is being lead-produced by Rome-based Propaganda in tandem with France’s Kazak Productions and Belgium’s Tarantula Film with support from Italy’s Rai Cinema. The planned delivery date is February 2026.

“The Spiral” centers on a mother-daughter relationship that...

Given Mikio Naruse‘s intense concern with the condition and exploitation of women in a rapidly transforming post-war Japan, it is inevitable that he would take a keen interest in geishas. Among his films centering on these women, “Flowing” – often seen as one of his masterpieces – stands out as a melancholy look at a declining geisha establishment, hit hard by waning interest in traditional Japanese customs.

Flowing is screening at Metrograph as part of the Mikio Naruse: The World Betrays Us program

The story opens with the arrival of a new maid, Rika (Kinuyo Tanaka), at the geisha house. The widow, soon called Oharu by everyone (they could not care less about this working-class woman), offers an outsider’s perspective on the twilight world of the geishas – a world that was likely already beginning to feel outdated even to Japanese audiences of the time. The house is headed by Otsuta...

Co-organized with Japan Society and Japan Foundation, New York, Metrograph is pleased to commemorate this master of Japanese cinema’s golden age with Mikio Naruse: The World Betrays Us, a two-part 30-film retrospective—presented entirely on rare film prints imported from archives and collections in Japan—on the 120th anniversary of his birth. The series runs from May 9 – 31 at Japan Society, continuing at Metrograph from June 5 – June 29.

Metrograph’s program will begin with When a Woman Ascends the Stairs followed by a post-screening reception hosted by Japan Foundation, New York at the theater. Tickets for the series will go on sale Wednesday, April 30, with a limited number available for the opening night event.

Over a career spanning four decades from 1930 to 1967, Mikio Naruse bore witness to the making of modern Japan, before and after World War II, in films that primarily examine the cruel condition of women cast adrift in a society in constant,...

Mikio Naruse’s iconic films will now be celebrated in honor of what would have been the auteur’s 120th birthday.

IndieWire can reveal the trailer for the two-part program “Mikio Naruse: The World Betrays Us” that Japan Society and Metrograph will host. Titled as a reference to Naruse’s famous quote, the film series will screen rare imported 35mm prints of features from the Japanese director. The 30-film retrospective is co-organized with Japan Society, Japan Foundation, and Metrograph.

Metrograph in New York will screen “The Whole Family Works,” “Repast,” “Sound of the Mountain,” “Late Chrysanthemums,” “Flowing,” “When a Woman Ascends the Stairs,” and “Scattered Clouds.” Japan Society, meanwhile, will screen “Wife! Be Like a Rose!” “Hideko the Bus Conductress,” “Lightning,” “Floating Clouds,” “Untamed,” “A Wanderer’s Notebook,” and “Yearning.”

Japan Society and Metrograph have teamed up to co-present “Mikio Naruse: The World Betrays Us,” a rare 30-film retrospective devoted to the “fourth great” master of Japanese cinema. Co-organized with the Japan Foundation, New York, the two-part series, running May 9 to June 29, will offer the first major New York survey of the landmark filmmaker’s work in 20 years, presented in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of his birth and screened entirely on rare prints imported from collections and archives in Japan. Notable series highlights include all six of Naruse’s adaptations of celebrated feminist author Fumiko Hayashi’s work (Floating Clouds, Repast, Lightning, Wife, Late Chrysanthemums, A Wanderer’s Notebook), as well as some of Naruse’s rarest films, including the New York premieres of three pre-war gems unscreened in previous retrospectives: Morning’s Tree-Lined Street, A Woman’s Sorrows, and Sincerity.

Most boss fights in Black Myth: Wukong have a straightforward objective, but there's one encounter in Chapter Two that's a little more complicated. When the Destined One encounters the Second Prince and the King of Flowing Sands, he has to take on both opponents at once, and the order in which he does so affects more than just battle strategy. The game doesn't make it clear in advance, but it's possible to miss out on either a reward or a unique cutscene depending on the approach to the fight.

The Destined One first comes upon the hulking Second Rat Prince and his diminutive father, the King of Flowing Sands in a barren desert courtyard. Here, the King is lecturing his son on the necessity of toughing it out until their master returns. When he catches a whiff of the Destined One, however, the King rejoices in the arrival of fresh meat,...

The Destined One in Black Myth Wukong has tons of abilities at his disposal, but few are quite essential to his journey, such as spells. These are magical incantations that cost a small amount of mana and provide powerful effects in combat. Spells can prove to be the difference between life and death.

Undoubtedly, one of the best spells in the game is “A Pluck of Many,” which can help you summon copies of the Destined One. It’s extremely effective for crowd control and knocking out some of the toughest bosses. However, the developer, Game Science, has made the process of acquiring it quite difficult. To help you, we’ve put together this guide so you can easily clone yourself.

Principal photography has begun on “The Captive,” a historical epic from “The Others’” Alejandro Amenábar, starring Julio Peña (“Berlin”) as “Don Quixote” author Miguel de Cervantes, a prisoner of Ottoman corsairs, seen in a very first still from the film, alongside Alessandro Borghi (“Suburra”), playing his captor, which has been shared in exclusivity with Variety.
