Essays— Mar 18, 2025 In 1923, Charlie Chaplin surprised the world with a major departure from his celebrated comic style. The opening title of his minimalist masterpiece A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate describes it as his “first serious drama,” but it was even more than that. It was his second feature-length film, but the first movie he had made in which he did not star—a move he would not repeat until 1967’s A Countess from Hong Kong.

The French ConnectionAlmost five minutes go by in The French Connection before we get a good look at Gene Hackman. Various other operators come and go in William Friedkin’s gritty and unsettling procedural – based on a real heroin sting – before Hackman’s Detective Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle emerges from behind an ill-fitting undercover Santa Claus outfit, like a background player busting into his first lead role.

Where’s it on? Cinemas nationwideReteaming his Forrest Gump (1994) stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright 30 years later, Robert Zemeckis’s new film has been harshly received in many quarters but is surely bolder, more suggestive and more aesthetically adventurous than many of this year’s more feted awards candidates.

There’s no separating the past from the present in Robert Zemeckis’s extraordinary Here (2024). One of the most adventurously experimental studio pictures to emerge this century, the film retains the unique formal gambit of its source material, a 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire. As on the page, a fixed perspective surveys millions of years of history, from the primordial era all the way through to the creation of a suburban home.
