You have time that other countries have squandered. You can be leaders in building the information infrastructure humanity needsI became a journalist because information is power, and right now we are living through an information armaggedon. Facts are under assault. Truth is being murdered. The casualty? Trust making it impossible to govern. Only dictatorships thrive when there’s no trust.And here are the three sentences I’ve said over and over since 2016 when I first said it in Silicon Valley, backed by data and hard-fought experience. Without facts, you can’t have truth. Without truth, you can’t have trust. Without trust, we have no shared reality. Continue reading...

5 d. ago Orphan review – László Nemes’ fable of resentment and rage in post

This always interesting film-maker displays impressive technical control in this painful, sombre story about a boy who meets the father he never knewAfter the spiritual ordeal of his Holocaust movie Son of Saul, and his complex, nuanced drama about prewar Budapest, Sunset, Hungarian director László Nemes comes to Venice with a valuable, interesting picture: another painful, sombre story from 20th-century central Europe composed in his familiar sepia visual palette, and executed with impressive technical control.Set in the aftermath of Hungary’s failed uprising against its Soviet masters, it is a story about sons rebelling against fathers, but also about coming to terms with (or having to swallow resentment at) the reality of a new order of power – just as the Hungarian people had to come to terms with Moscow’s rule and with finding their proud spirit of independence stigmatised as quasi-fascist. With no support for their self-determination, Hungarians in 1956 were orphaned by the ti...

6 d. ago ‘We are seeing a new maturity’: how ‘extended reality’ is coming of age at the Venice film festival

At the festival’s pioneering immersive section, a ‘seamless evolution’ of VR and mainstream film-making is revolutionising narrative The future came early to this year’s Venice film festival as the event’s pioneering Venice Immersive (VI) section launched a day before the official opening gala. Based on the small island of Lazzaretto Vecchio, a short boat ride from the main festival site, VI points to a possible new direction for cinema with an eclectic programme of extended reality (XR) artworks. The mix of installations, videos and virtual worlds can look outlandish when compared with the other, more traditional pictures at the festival. But VI’s base at Venice reveals the event’s true parentage and core principles.“Our mission, in holding this event at one of the biggest film festivals, has always been to build bridges between the cinema industry and the budding immersive community,” says Michel Reilhac, who established VI alongside co-curator Liz Rosenthal back in 2017. “This ye...

6 d. ago In the Nguyen Kitchen review – cooking up a heartwarming Vietnamese

Aspiring performer Yvonne dreams aloud in candy-coloured reveries that carry the hopes of a marginalised singer in a rarely-seen Parisian communityParis is home to one of the oldest and largest Vietnamese diasporas in the world – not that you could tell from mainstream French cinema. In this heartwarming feature debut, Stéphane Ly-Cuong turns to the magic of the musical comedy to portray not only the dreams and the struggles of Vietnamese-French artists, but also a side of Paris seldom seen on screen.A hopeful performer and singer, Yvonne Nguyen (Clotilde Chevalier) can’t help but dream in songs. Her candy-coloured reveries unfold like a Jacques Demy fantasy, bursting with tunes and light. In reality, however, she is stuck belting out jingles for spring rolls to indifferent supermarket customers. Without much luck getting cast in acting roles, Yvonne moves back in with her mother (Anh Tran-Nghia), who runs a restaurant in the outskirts of Paris. Generational clashes soon follow, but...
