And Close Encounters of the Third Kind!It’s almost a curse being as consistently good for as long as Spielberg. After a 50+ year career behind the camera, some of his best works simply don’t get talked about enough. Sure, Spielberg has directed a handful of disappointments over half a century of work; there’s a reason people don’t share too many…

Few filmmakers have loved their country as deeply or as tenderly, as Bahram Beyzaie loved Iran. A founding father of the Iranian New Wave, Beyzaie emerged, alongside Dariush Mehrjui and Masoud Kimiai, as one of the most culturally significant directors of his generation. His films – a pick-and-mix of Persian folklore, symbolism and allegory – favoured stories of outcasts on fraught journeys toward societal acceptance. Beyzaie, himself a member of the persecuted Bahá’í faith, was able to draw on his own direct experiences of exclusionary politics to become a rare, and necessary, champion for minority resistance. Nowhere is this clearer than in his 1986…

Named by TIME as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, Watchmen inverted the superhero narrative by intertwining the history of caped crusaders with American history, resulting in a nightmarish present where vigilante justice was dominant, the nation was on the brink of war with the Soviet Union, and Richard Nixon was about to enter his third term as President. Instead of trying to make a period…
