"These movies ask: What role does America play in our lives now? Do we let it in or resist it? How do we relate to it? Can we criticize it? And at what moment does it get too powerful, artificial or dangerous for our autonomy and identity?"

"Sinners" became the most-nominated film in Oscars history today. @Edeggans writes for his Switching Codes newsletter about why that matters — not just because it's a Black-centered story with universal relevance, but because it's a successful, popular film that got people into theaters.

It's official: "KPop Demon Hunters" is Netflix's most popular movie of all time. The film’s soundtrack is also the first to have four simultaneous Billboard Top 10 hits, and its theatrical release means it qualifies to be nominated at next year's Oscars. Here's more from @theverge.

24 days left for UK residents to watch the Oscar-winning No Other Land for free on Channel 4.
It's one of those docs that makes you wonder how they managed to get the material to so fully tell this story. No voiceover, no explanatory interviews; just pure cinema.

18 days left for UK residents to watch this year's Oscar-winning documentary, No Other Land, free on Channel 4.

It has a marvellous score by Julius Pollux. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/no-other-land-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1797226970
In the UK, No Other Land can be seen on Channel 4 for another 25 days. See why it won Best Doc at the #Oscars this year.
I thought it would just be depressing, but it's compelling and masterful. Even if just for the filmmaking, please consider watching it. 92 mins of your time is a bargain.
