Plot: Years after her sister disappeared at Arvores National Park, a young woman named Lennon gets a job as an Arvores park ranger in hopes of finding out what happened to her sibling. Unfortunately for her, she does find out.
Review: Teresa Sutherland wrote the screenplay for Emma Tammi’s 2018 horror Western The Wind and was part of the writing staff on the Mike Flanagan series Midnight Mass, and now she has made her feature directorial debut with the horror film Lovely, Dark, and Deep, which she was inspired to make after hearing “real-life conspiracy theories surrounding the unusually high number of unsolved missing person cases that happen in national parks and forests”. She came up with a theory of her own… something dealing with an ancient supernatural force that still operates in these isolated places “where it still gets dark”… and delivered it in the form of a movie that has some interesting ideas,...

Indian streaming viewers rushed to U.S. and UK content like never before during the Covid-19 pandemic, a study shows.
There was a staggering 124% uptick in viewing of shows such as HBO’s House of the Dragon on subscription streaming services during the period, according to Indian ratings analyst Ormax Media.
Nearly two-thirds (66%) of urban Indian SVoD viewers aged 15 or above now watch what the research house calls ‘English’ content, or watches English content dubbed in a local language. We’ll call them Western shows here for ease of understanding.
Half a decade ago, just 9% of viewers watched Western content. That number grew to 40% during the Covid crisis. The number has fallen back post-pandemic but Ormax is predicting a brighter future for content created in English, with the figure still almost double the 2017/18 figure.

[Note: The following interview discusses Season 3 of the Netflix series “Dark.”]
If seeing an entire reality flipped in the last season of “Dark” seemed jarring, know that it felt just as dissonant to the people helping to bring it to life.
When it came time for Martha (Lisa Vicari) to take on some of the some iconography that in previous seasons was associated with Jonas (Louis Hofmann), that exchange between the two main characters made for a moment that forced them and series co-creators Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar to recalibrate a little.
“Just even her wearing the yellow raincoat in the costume test was really weird. Also for [Lisa] because it was so iconic for Jonas as his character. For Louis, being on set and she’s entering the room with his jacket, the first reaction was like, ‘Give me back my jacket! This is mine!'” Odar said in a recent interview with IndieWire.

[Note: The following contains spoilers for “Dark” Season 3, including the ending.]
For as much as the show invited questions of who was or wasn’t one, the villain of “Dark” never really mattered as much as many of the potential antagonists would have had you believe. After all the talk of inevitability, it seemed like this grand trilogy of seasons was destined to be a rope that, rather than snapping under the tension pulling at either end, would instead unravel in a pile, however neat.
That’s how the series comes to a close in Season 3, capped off by an ending that pushes aside the idea of an ultimate victor. Seemingly doomed to spend an infinite number of years inside quarreling realities dominated by time travelers with flexible morality, “Dark” ends with the idea that power comes from a different place entirely: humility. As Jonas (Louis Hofmann) and Martha (Lisa Vicari) dislodge themselves from a loop that also includes their scarred...

[Note: The following review contains mild spoilers for Season 3 of “Dark.”]
The greatest trick nested within “Dark” is what it manages to make inevitable. Even before the third and final season of the German-language Netflix sci-fi time travel epic, each new wrinkle has arrived with a shock, but also with the storytelling confidence that this is always how it would unfold. Juggling a dizzying amount of causal loops and concurrent timelines and logical paradoxes, “Dark” has always operated with a combination of precision and patience required to make each new successive detail feel earned. In telling the story of the unassuming town of Winden, the construction of that story has felt, fittingly, like that of a ticking clock.
The giant gambit at the end of last season was that not only were Jonas (Louis Hofmann) and Martha (Lisa Vicari) destined to experience their tragic love story across increasingly stratified generations, they would have an entire new reality to contend with. Season...

The final cycle is about to begin – and end.
Netflix on Tuesday unveiled the trailer for the third and final season of German hit drama Dark and revealed that it will launch on June 27. That is no coincidence as in the series, which focuses on four estranged families and a time-travel conspiracy that spans three generations, that is the day of the apocalypse.
"We will offer answers to the questions that our viewers have been asking and help untangle the story through time," said Dark co-creators and showrunners Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar last year. “...

Netflix is looking to create more transparency and dispel some of the myths around working with the streaming giant as it ramps up its European operations, though the company’s fast-paced shooting schedules are “not for everyone,” director of international originals Rachel Eggebeen said Tuesday morning at the Berlinale Series Market.
“It’s a fast pace that we work at,” she said. “Once we commission a show, we commit to it. We’re all in, we need partners that are all in, and we go.”
Eggebeen appeared in conversation with a group of leading European TV creators to discuss the realities of producing for the Los Gatos-based streaming service. The panel, moderated by Variety‘s international editor Manori Ravindran, featured writer-producer Laura Buffoni, producer-writer Jantje Friese, producer Meta Soerensen, producer Fatima Varhos, and writer-producer Anna Winger.

A lusty bar owner, a vengeful hooker, a teenage wallflower, a doomed secretary, and a sexually liberated suffragette made up the Best Supporting Actress quintet for 1960.
That shortlist found room for two established Hollywood stars (Glynis Johns and Janet Leigh), both overdue for their first nominations, two rising starlets named Shirley (Jones & Knight) and an acclaimed Scottish import (Mary Ure). They all caught Oscar's attention and it didn't hurt that their films were so popular. This resulted in one of the most homogenous lineups ever -- all blondes (though Glynis was a redhead for her role) and from their early 20s to mid 30s (average age: 29).
This Month's Panelists
Here to talk about these five nominated turns and the movies that housed them are writer/director Leslye Headland (Russian Doll, Bachelorette), theater and screenwriter Peter Duchan (Dogfight), freelance critic Kyle Turner, and your Film Experience co-hosts Murtada Elfadl and Nathaniel...

Dark, the eerie, stylish time-travel mystery show from Germany, just got the go-ahead for season 2 on Netflix. The series was marketed as a kind of German Stranger Things, and while it certainly shares some connections with that other Netflix hit, Dark is a bit more cerebral and a lot less nostalgic. Overall, it’s a creep-tastic show […]
