It is fascinating what the human mind will allow. Riefenstahl, a documentary directed by Andres Veiel about the life of Leni Riefenstahl, explores the rationalizations the filmmaker allowed herself in order to explain her collaborations with the Nazi Party in Germany during their time in power. Until the day she died (at 101 years old in 2003), Riefenstahl refuted accusations that she was aware of the crimes being committed around her. “I never saw any atrocities happening,” she says in an interview from 1976, after the interviewer presents her with an account of her witnessing the murder of 22 Jews. She denies it adamantly. Throughout the film, we watch her deny much, while separate...

Hollywood News: Demi Moore’s cinematic journey hasn’t been without missteps. At the bottom of her film rankings, two titles stand out for all the wrong reasons:

Striptease (1996): Despite a massive paycheck, the film was a major critical flop—so much so that Moore received Razzie nominations for Worst Actress, among others.

The Juror (1996): In the same unforgiving year, this crime thriller also earned her a Razzie nod for Worst Actress, bookending a difficult chapter in her career.

These misfires highlight a rare low in an otherwise compelling body of work.

Son Of Sardaar 2 Box Office Day 1 Advance Booking Final Update!(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur starrer Son Of Sardaar 2 has arrived in cinemas today. Its advance booking started on a good note, but there was limited growth in the final 24 hours.

Tarantino’s Wealth Decision Explained(Photo Credit –Wikimedia)

When most people achieve financial success, they’re eager to share the spoils with their parents. But when it comes to Hollywood director, Quentin Tarantino, his rise isn’t just your average success story but in fact, it is driven by a complex relationship with his mother.

Quentin Tarantino’s Financial Triumph

Despite being one of the most celebrated filmmakers of our time, with a bank account that, according to Celebrity Net Worth, is packed with an impressive $120 million, Tarantino’s relationship with his mother is far from what you might expect.

As stated earlier, most adults, once they’ve earned their fortune, would probably want to help their parents live a comfortable life but not Quentin. He’s got a different story, and it’s one that’s not all warm and fuzzy.

Trending Nicolas Cage’s Wild World Of Exotic...

The fall of communism in Bulgaria wasn’t a clean break, exactly: With the country’s Communist Party having relinquished its political monopoly in 1989 to make way for a parliamentary democracy, it still won the country’s first free elections the following year. The panic brought on by unfamiliar liberties spirals to chaotic effect in “Triumph,” a thoroughly singular political satire from Bulgarian directing duo Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov, in which old-school power structures and preposterous new-age thinking grind each other down to a vain stalemate. Original and outlandish if only fitfully funny, the film rests considerably on the deadpan comic stylings of Oscar-nominated star (and producer) Maria Bakalova, returning to her homeland for the first time since 2021’s “Women Do Cry.”

Inspired by real events — even if little about its frenzied, heightened tone suggests as much — “Triumph” is the concluding entry in Grozeva and Valchanov’s stated “newspaper clippings trilogy,...

Wild projects do not frighten Maria Bakalova. The classically trained Bulgarian actress gained international fame and an Oscar nomination for her performance in 2020’s “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” followed it with a role in the daring “Bodies Bodies Bodies” and can be seen this year in Ali Abbasi’s newsworthy “The Apprentice.”

But her wildest project yet might be “Triumph,” a dark comedy about psychics and space aliens in Bulgaria that is her home country’s selection for the Best International Feature Film Oscar this year.

Bakalova joined the film’s directors Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov to discuss the “crazy, unbelievable, but absolutely true” new film with Steve Pond as part of TheWrap Screening Series.

Set in the early 1990s, right after the fall of the Berlin Wall, “Triumph” dramatizes a real-life attempt by the Bulgarian army to unearth an alien capsule from under a field, an artifact that will...

Borat star Maria Bakalova will board a bus with Peter Mullan for the single-location thriller, No Way Off.

Veteran Scottish actor Peter Mullan is set to lead single location thriller No Way Off for Altitude, starring opposite Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm’s standout performer, Maria Bakalova.

Downton Abbey director Brian Kelly will make the film, based on a screenplay by Gaby Hill, who recently wrote crime thriller series We Hunt Together. Matthew James Wilkinson will produce for his Stigma Films banner.

The premise sounds, quite frankly, amazing: a single mother and her baby son find themselves trapped on a moving bus drvien by a mask-wearing maniac. Also, it’s set at Christmas.

The synopsis reads as follows:

Inspired by single-location thrillers such as The Shallows, Buried and Crawl, No Way Off is set on Christmas Eve and revolves around Laura, a young mother who waits at a bus stop with her infant son.

Right now is a scary time to be living in America, as the country is just days away from an election that will decide the next president: Will it be the current vice president, or the anthropomorphic hemorrhoid who retroactively ruined Home Alone 2? Stay tuned.

Academy members who are voting in the Best International Feature Film category have been given 85 different films to consider, according to emails sent to voters on Friday and obtained by TheWrap.

The 85 films make up the smallest field in the category in nine years. Last year saw 88 qualifying films, after the total number of eligible films had topped 90 in five of the previous six years. The record was 93, set in 2000.

In late September, all prospective voters in the category received emails inviting them to vote in the international category and telling them that those who opted in would receive emails with their assigned viewing on Friday, Nov. 1. But those emails came a week early, going to prospective voters on Friday afternoon, Oct. 25, and separating the members into seven separate groups.

Each group was given a list of 12 or 13 films to view, either in the Academy’s members-only screening platform devoted...

Leni Riefenstahl’s films from her time working with the Nazi Party have left an indelible mark on cinema. With Triumph of the Will and Olympia, she crafted stunning pieces of propaganda that also pioneered new techniques. However, her relationship with the Third Reich has been the source of much debate. Riefenstahl always insisted she was just an artist, not a believer in Nazi ideology.

In Riefenstahl, director Andres Veiel seeks to provide a fuller picture of this enigmatic figure. With unprecedented access to Riefenstahl’s personal archives, he examines her career and the narrative she crafted after WWII. Through archival interviews stretching from the 1960s to her death in 2003, her own films, and material from over 700 boxes of records, a more complex truth emerges.

Veiel explores the enthusiastic support Riefenstahl showed the Nazis in her earliest works. He also reveals evidence that contradicts her claims, like recordings where she...

Predicting the eventual five Oscar nominees for Best International Feature is made difficult by the three-step process that begins after the October 2, 2024 deadline for countries to submit entries.

Even though Prince Harry has said that he loves every aspect about being a father to his two young children Archie and Lilibet, there’s also one thing that absolutely terrifies him as they continue to grow up.

He says that he’s concerned about all of the environmental issues out there. And he thinks that things will only get worse before they get better by the time his children will become adults.

The phrase “stranger than fiction” can aptly be applied to the new Bulgarian film “Triumph,” which is – shockingly – based on true events. Set after the fall of Communism in the 1990s, a task force of high-ranking Bulgarian army officers and psychics embarks on a military operation to dig up an alien artifact.

The film’s co-director Kristina Grozeva encountered the soldiers as a kid living in Bulgaria, and co-director Petar Valchanov said this inspired them to use the true story as a jumping off point for their own story.

“It’s incredible when you have a chance to work on something that has been inspired by something that really happened, because you realize that real-life stories have even more layers than fictional stories,” producer and star Maria Bakalova told TheWrap’s Steve Pond at TheWrap’s 2024 TIFF Studio sponsored by Moët & Chandon and Boss Design.

France has selected Jacques Audiard’s bold musical “Emilia Perez” to represent the country in the Oscars’ Best International Feature Film race, giving that category an instant frontrunner at the 97th Academy Awards.

The Netflix film, which caused a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival with its story of a Mexican drug lord undergoing sex reassignment surgery, is considered one of the year’s likeliest Best Picture nominees, making it a clear favorite in the international category as well.

It was chosen on Wednesday by a selection committee that had narrowed its choices to four: “Emilia Perez,” Payal Kapadia’s “All We Imagine as Light,” Matthieu Delaporte’s “The Count of Monte Cristo” and Alain Guiraudie’s “Misericordia.”

Last year, that committee chose “The Taste of Things” over “Anatomy of a Fall,” going with a ravishing romance over an edgier drama that had won the top prize in Cannes. “The Taste of Things...

As the Oct. 2 deadline for submitting films to the Oscars Best International Feature Film category nears, more than 50 countries have announced their entries.

Any country with a selection committee that has been approved by the Academy is allowed to submit a single film for consideration in the category. Volunteers from all branches of the Academy will cast ballots in an initial round of voting that narrows the field to a 15-film shortlist, which will be announced on Dec. 17. A second round of voting, which is restricted to members who watch all of the shortlisted films, will select the final five nominees.

Here is the complete list of submissions that have been announced so far. Inclusion on this list does not guarantee that a film will qualify, because the Academy still needs to vet each film to make sure it meets eligibility requirements ranging from the amount of non-English dialogue to...

Let’s just say that they aren’t her biggest fans, and we are not talking about her Hollywood movies or television work.

Many royal fans and critics alike have noticed that the royal family made an effort to wish Prince Harry a very happy 40th birthday but completely ignored Meghan Markle on her 43rds birthday earlier in the month. And of course, a lot of people want to know why.

This Is The Reason Why The Royal Family Is Leaving Out Meghan Markle

Apparently, there’s a reason why Meghan was left out from the birthday wishes and has not even been mentioned on any of the royal family’s social media accounts since she and Prince Harry pulled the plug on their working relationship with the royals back in 2020.

In the early 1900s, Korea found itself occupied by Japanese forces and embroiled in a fight for independence. Director Woo Min-ho’s film Harbin shines a light on this volatile period through the eyes of revolutionary Ahn Jung-geun. Played by renowned Korean actor Hyun Bin, Jung-geun is a commander in the Independence Army struggling to free his homeland. After a costly battle, he forms a desperate plan: travel incognito to Russia and assassinate Hirobumi Ito, Japan’s powerful prime minister.

This forms the basis of the intricate plot that Woo Min-ho weaves. But beyond recounting Jung-geun’s mission, the film also aims to convey the turmoil of the era. Scenes depict the brutality of clashes between Korean rebels and Japanese troops. We see how Jung-geun’s compassionate release of enemies earns distrust from his own allies. And as the assassination scheme launches, creeping paranoia sets in over a suspected mole within their ranks.

A classic historian has nothing but praise for HBO's Rome. Having run from 2005 to 2007 before its season 2 cancelation, the show featured a live-action depiction of Julius Caesar's rise to power in the dying days of the Roman Republic. Alongside Ciarn Hinds's Caesar were the two leads, Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson), who played two soldiers in Caesar's chief legion. After the similar historical show, Those About To Die, was released in 2024, memories of HBO's hit have earned additional recognition.

Triumph, starring and produced by Maria Bakalova, a 2021 Oscar acting nominee for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, will be Bulgaria‘s International Feature Film submission for the 2025 Academy Awards.

The darkly comedic movie by award-winning Bulgarian filmmakers Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov was selected after a unanimous vote by the country’s selection committee ahead of Triumph‘s world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival later this week.

Grozeva and Valchanov’s previous film, The Father, which featured a cameo by Bakalova, became Bulgaria’s 2021 International Oscar entry after winning the Grand Prix at the 2019 Karlovy Vary Film Festival.

Triumph is the last part of a movie trilogy by Grozeva and Valchanov that includes the 2014 The Lesson, also a TIFF selection, and 2016’s Glory. It marks Bakalova’s return to Bulgarian cinema and the first film she did in her native country following her breakout role in Borat 2, which launched her Hollywood career.

Leave your preconceived notions about wrestling at the door. That’s what the cast of A24’s latest drama The Iron Claw emphasized today during the film’s post-premiere press conference in Dallas, TX.

“It’s like dance, gymnastics, combat sports… so many different things,” Jeremy Allen White, one of the film’s ensemble stars said to a packed ballroom of journalists at the glitzy Ritz Carlton Hotel downtown this morning.

The film centers on the famed (and ultimately tragic) story of the Von Erich brothers, who took their unique talents from their hometown of Denton, to the world wrestling stage, in time creating the notorious The Iron Claw move that wowed the sport in the ‘80s.

On why he felt it was the right story to bring to the big screen, writer/director/producer Sean Durkin said, “I’ve been a fan of [wrestling] since I was a kid, and...
