This summer’s box office is set to hit $4 billion for the 13th time ever, up 16% over last summer. Barbie and Oppenheimer, which together rep 22% of that figure, created a blast radius, finally bringing infrequent moviegoers back to cinemas after Covid had sidelined audiences.
However, with the ongoing strikes set to upset both the production and post-production pipeline, next summer may not be so rich.
“The spring movies will wind up becoming the summer movies next year,” one box office insider predicts with doom and gloom.

Imanol Rayo’s “Dog Days” promises to be an ambitious look at family, the challenges of adolescence, the impact of climate change and irreversible transformation.
The project, which won this year’s main prize at the Thessaloniki Film Festival’s Crossroads Co-Production Forum, is the Basque filmmaker’s first original script. His previous films, including “Two Brothers” and “Death Knell,” were based on books.
Speaking to Variety, Rayo says the story’s origin lies in a phenomena that has been transpiring in Spain for a long time, namely the popularity of campsites located at reservoirs across the country, to where middle-class families flock during the summer holidays.
The reservoirs themselves, however, built in the last century during the reign of Francisco Franco, flooded and destroyed some 500 villages, forcibly displacing their populations. In recent years many of these submerged villages have reemerged due to dropping levels of water caused by the ongoing drought.

Director: Ana Piterbarg; Screenwriter Ana Piterbarg, Ana Cohan; Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Soledad Villamil, Daniel Fanego, Javier Godino, Sofía Gala; Running time: 118 mins; Certificate: 15
Actors who can genuinely rise above subpar material are few and far between, and Viggo Mortensen is one of them. His soulful lead turn as a German scholar-turned-Nazi sympathizer elevated an otherwise shaky stage adaptation in 2008's Good, and his tongue-in-cheek take on Freud was one of the few redeeming features of David Cronenberg's stilted and misjudged A Dangerous Method.
In Everybody Has a Plan, the feature debut from Argentinian director Ana Piterbarg, we're gifted with not one but two Mortensen performances. This, surely, should be a done deal. So why is the end result - with its enticing blend of character study, crime drama and potboiler plotting - such a joyless chore?

Title: Everybody Has a Plan Director: Ana Piterbarg Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Soledad Villamil, Daniel Fanego, Javier Godino, Sofia Gala Castaglione A good number of actresses, including Penelope Cruz, have worked for years in multiple languages. And while it seems a bit less common with actors, recent James Bond villain Javier Bardem scored a Best Actor Oscar nomination for 2010′s “Biutiful” while speaking in his native tongue. But apart from Kristin Scott Thomas – and recently Will Ferrell, who took up Spanish for the comedy “Casa de Mi Padre” — few native English speakers aim to flex their bilingual skills on the big screen. And that’s a big part of the reason writer-director Ana Piterbarg’s “Everybody Has [ Read More ]

Best Laid Plans: Piterbarg Gets Double the Mortensen in Debut
Argentinean director Ana Piterbarg nabs Viggo Mortensen for dual roles in her debut, a slow burn identity thriller, Everybody Has a Plan. Mortensen, having appeared in three previous Spanish speaking features, is a fellow countryman of Piterbarg, having spent his childhood in Argentina. The resulting collaboration may be disappointing to some, as this is a simmering, psychological thriller that banks mostly on constant discomfort and a slowly building menace that permeates the narrative, but this only serves to make the film a unique, fascinating, noir-tinged exercise in the swamps.
Agustin (Mortensen) stars as a doctor in Buenos Aires, who we quickly learn is in a floundering marriage with Claudia (Soledad Villamil). They are about to adopt a baby, something that Claudia is apparently passionate about, a plan that has been gestating for some time. But it turns out that...

In some films, particularly of the twists and turns variety, a significant event, moment or even line of dialogue, can be summarized by the phrase “This changes everything”. This is known as a Game Changer, where the established landscape of the movie’s plot is irrevocably and dramatically altered, with no chance of ever going back. Audience reaction can range from emotional sledgehammer to Wtf?
Often this single moment can encapsulate the whole film, and become its most famed component: everybody who has heard of The Crying Game is also familiar with its reveal. This isn’t the Twist Ending we’re talking about; this is the story shaking, ultimately defining wham moment.
Here are six great examples.

Today we’re here to have a little chat (actually a reminder) about the movie that definitely deserves our attention, especially after winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the 82nd Academy Awards, making Argentina the first country in Latin America to win it twice!
So, you already guess the title: The Secret In Their Eyes or, if you prefer El Secreto de sus Ojos directed by Juan José Campanella, premiered at Toronto Film Festival (September 2009).
But, when it comes to this project, this is not the end of the award-list. It also won the award for best Hispanic-American Film of the Year from the Spanish Film Academy, beating out rival film, Peru’s, The Milk of Sorrow.
Beside that, this crime drama has been nominated as Best Film Not in the English Language for the Orange British Academy Film Awards – BAFTA (February 13, 2011), as well as for the...

This is the trailer for The Secret in Their Eyes, directed by Juan José Campanella and starring Soledad Villamil, Ricardo Darín, Carla Quevedo, Pablo Rago, Javier Godino, Bárbara Palladino and Rudy Romano. With The Secret In Their Eyes, Argentinean writer—director—editor Juan Jose Campanella has created a multi—layered and poignant thriller interweaving the personal lives of a state prosecution investigator and a judge, with a manhunt spanning twenty—five years. Recently retired criminal court investigator Benjamin (Ricardo Darin), decides to write a novel based on a twenty—five year old unresolved rape and murder case, which still haunts him.

The Secret In Their Eyes scooped the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s award ceremony, beating other nominees Ajami (Scandar Copti, Yaron Shani), The White Ribbon (Michael Haneke), A Prophet (Jacques Audiard) and The Milk of Sorrow(Claudia Llosa). Now, after month’s of waiting, the film is being released in the UK.
Synopsis: In 1999, retired Argentinian federal justice agent Benjamín Espósito is writing a novel, using an old closed case as the source material. That case is the brutal rape and murder of Liliana Coloto. In addition to seeing the extreme grief of the victim’s husband Ricardo Morales, Benjamín, his assistant Pablo Sandoval, and newly hired department chief Irene Menéndez-Hastings were personally affected by the case as Benjamín and Pablo tracked the killer, hence the reason why the unsatisfactory ending to the case has always bothered him. Despite the department already having two other suspects,...

Hollywoodnews.com: The Secret in Their Eyes (***1/2 out of 4)
The 2010 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language film, Juan Jose Campanella’s “Secret” illustrates how the brutal rape and murder of one young woman impacts a handful of disconnected strangers over one year, then five years, then a decade, and then several decades. Her death is a stone dropped into a placid lake. Waves ripple out, and no matter where you are parked, eventually they are going to rock your boat.
Campanella tells two interlocking stories, which feature the same characters but are separated by generations. One focuses on the early days of the investigation into Liliana Coloto’s (Carla Quevedo) murder. The second lays out a futile lack of progress that has occurred decades later. To their credit, the same actors play both young and old convincingly.

Director: Juan Jose Campanella Writers: Juan Jose Campanella, Eduardo Sacheri Starring: Ricardo Darin, Soledad Villamil, Pablo Rago, Javier Godino Benjamin Esposito (Ricardo Darin), a retired criminal court investigator and divorcee, decides to try something novel with his spare time – write a fictionalized book based on a 25-year old cold case that has been incessantly lodged in his memory ever since. The dreamily pixilated and ever so slightly slow-moed opening of The Secret in Their Eyes stutters with its fits and stops as Benjamin attempts to find his starting point and his voice for said story. (The footage is visually stimulating, but narratively it is an annoying Brechtian technique to remind the viewer time and time again that this is a fictional story from Benjamin’s perspective.) Once Benjamin finds his authorial voice, the visuals promptly shed their artsyness and the flashbacks are differentiated from the present only by way of...
