15 h. ago Halt Disney! Flow’s director, and fellow upstart animators, on a new era for the artform

At the Academy Awards last weekend, a little Latvian film scooped the prize for best animation . Here its creator Gints Zilbalodis, and other Oscar nominees of micro-budget films, discuss taking risks and challenging the big studiosFlow is a gorgeous animated Noah’s Ark tale-of-sorts that bobs into cinemas like a message in a bottle. The brainchild of Gints Zilbalodis, a 30-year-old Latvian film-maker, it’s about an unnamed house cat cast adrift on a sailboat alongside a capybara and a ring-tailed lemur. The world has flooded; one disaster follows another. The animals on the boat have to help one another or die. Flow contains no human life and not one line of actual dialogue. Despite this, it is eloquent and humane and almost unbearably tense.Animators, says Zilbalodis, are a little like cats, in that they tend to be self-sufficient, antisocial and have to be coaxed into joining a team. Flow’s production involved Zilbalodis abandoning his desk to oversee a small crew of artists. He ...

20 h. ago Mickey 17 review – two Robert Pattinsons for the price of one in Bong Joon

Pattinson plays a hapless space explorer replicated for further hazardous duties every time he dies in the South Korean director’s timely follow-up to ParasiteWe can only speculate about the reasons behind Warner Bros’ decision to delay the release of Mickey 17 for a full year (it was originally scheduled to hit cinemas in March 2024). A science-fiction satire with the tantalising prospect of Robert Pattinson in a dual role, South Korean director Bong Joon-ho’s follow-up to his 2020 best picture Oscar winner, Parasite, has been at the top of most film fans’ need-to-see list since it was announced. The date shift sparked alarm and speculation that the director’s consistently high standards might have slipped. In fact, while Mickey 17 isn’t in the same elevated league as Parasite, it’s a lot of fun. What’s more, the delay has made the picture, with its themes of genetic “purity” and an on-the-nose Donald Trump parody courtesy of Mark Ruffalo’s performance as politician turned space co...

20 h. ago ‘Everything is so fragile’: Cate Blanchett on marriage, #MeToo and the state of the world

Over turmeric tea one evening, double Oscar winner Cate Blanchett talks about the secret of relationships and how to survive the current news cycle. The answer? Jump into the ice Cate Blanchett saw in the New Year in the Arctic, with her husband and four children, by cutting a hole in the ice and jumping in. It was -30C and she wore a “funny hat” for the cold and, “It was fabulous,” because, she says, “Everything paused.” It’s February now, and the restaurant near the river is just beginning to fill with evening diners when Blanchett slides between the tables in her tartan “chicken feeding coat” [is this her description?] and striped shirt, collar popped. “Who are they murdering out the back?” she shouts – the noise of dough being pounded in the kitchen sounds as if they’re beating somebody to death and means we need to lean in, over her pot of turmeric tea. “I always thought, if the acting thing didn’t work out, which it still might not, I would love to be a Foley artist,” creating...
