Web-Slinging and Ancient Epics Lead Record-Breaking Box Office Weekend

Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey powered the biggest collective box-office weekend in history, hauling roughly $430 million across all films.

Nolan's Odyssey Reimagined: A Nonlinear, Monster-Soaked Homecoming

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey reimagines Homer’s epic as a near three-hour nonlinear adventure narrated by a bard who retells Odysseus’ journey from Troy to Ithaca. The piece traces the Trojan War, the cunning use of the Trojan Horse, and a voyage filled with mythic stops—Polyphemus, Circe, the underworld, the Sirens, and the choice between Charybdis or Scylla—leading to Odysseus’ undercover return, the suitors’ defeat, and a Penelope–Telemachus reunion that honors Zeus’s laws and fate. The article highlights the starry cast and Nolan’s ambitious fusion of myth and modern filmmaking.

Rebecca Hall anchors Maria Martinez Bayona’s Cannes premiere The End of It, a near‑future sci‑fi dramedy about an immortal artist who chooses to die. The film pairs strong performances (with Bernal, Rapace, and Feldstein) and striking Canary Islands visuals, but its uneven ending and a modest budget dampen its satirical punch, though it marks a promising directorial debut.

Kristen Stewart Steals the Show in Dupieux’s Cannes-Set Weird-Out Full Phil

Kristen Stewart stars opposite Woody Harrelson in Quentin Dupieux’s Cannes premiere Full Phil, a lean, offbeat comedy about a daughter and father on a chaotic Paris vacation.
