A Poet Review: A Darkly Humorous Tale of Failed Creative Pursuits Note: This review was originally published as part of our 2025 Cannes coverage. A Poet opens in theaters on January 30. Far removed from the mournful yearnings of A Quiet Passion––much less the quotid...

Congratulations to Gabriel Domingues for Best Achievement in Casting for The Secret Agent. #TaniaMaria

Remembering today María Cristina Estela Marcela Jurado García better known as the late 🇲🇽Mexican-born Hollywood actress #KatyJurado (16 January 1924 – 5 July 2002), born #OnThisDay in Guadalajara, Jalisco

Queer cinema pioneer Rosa von Praunheim, best known for IT IS NOT THE HOMOSEXUAL WHO IS PERVERSE, BUT THE SOCIETY IN WHICH HE LIVES (1971), has died. He was 83.

Marcelo (Wagner Moura) with his yellow VW Beetle at a lonely gas station in northern Brazil, in THE SECRET AGENT (very specifically set in 1977).

I loved Kleber Mendonça Filho’s THE SECRET AGENT; politically trenchant and highly emotional, full of surprises. It's set to open in New York on Nov. 26 and in Los Angeles on Dec. 5, then expand nationally. I hope it finds a big audience.

Nothing like a good concha, enjoy! I miss them

Also walk around the zócalo (main square) and check out the Templo Mayor museum (in case you don't go to the pyramids).

oh how exciting! You'll love it :) I'm mostly vegan so I won't tell you about restaurants, the Frida Kahlo Museum (get tickets online from the museum site) & walk around that 'hood (Coyoacán), is gorgeous.
