Fictional dystopias, as opposed to the real one we live in, are always just a few degrees away from being satire — every strand of sci-fi sociopolitical hyperbole thrums with our present-day absurdities, as it gets busy skewering run-amok state power. (Even 1984’s Newspeak can be read as sarcasm.) Still, the genre rarely gets as absurd as the new, cool three-hander The Assessment, which is not to suggest it isn’t stonily, humorlessly self-serious.

Alain Guiraudie’s Misericordia is a well-chilled thriller in the Gallic style. Its closest cousins include Dominik Moll’s With a Friend Like Harry (2000), Cedric Kahn’s Red Lights (2004), and any number of the late Claude Chabrol’s autumnal work. It’s the kind of film that makes you lean in and ask, “What kind of movie is this?” — until the very last frame, and even then, it plays the story close to the vest.

Just 21% of remote workers feel connected to the company culture, which can lead to burnout, isolation, and employee turnover. So, it’s essential to implement a remote-first work culture to keep your off-site employees fully engaged.

Building bridges is not always about brick, mortar, and metalwork. Thierry Birles believes that most of the time, bridge building begins once a person starts speaking. “Language isn’t just about words,” Birles points out, mulling over the inherent power of proper communication, “It’s about understanding the cultural context behind those words.

Cornelia Murr: The 2005 Broadcast album Tender Buttons changed how I thought about music in a way that I’m forever grateful for. It’s brave and deliberate, filled with strange poetry and angular melodies that enter your mind like invocations or spells you’ve always known. “Constellation of Orion / A picture with a past, a future so vast / A mnemonic game on the arc of a journey.” At times it’s stark and severe; at times it makes you want to dance.

Westlake’s hard-boiled pulp fiction novel “Memory.” Paul, stricken with amnesia, wakes up in a small 1950s town with a serious head injury and no recollection of who he is or how he got there.

Some high-end, auteur-driven, 21st-century movies are streamlined theme rockets, carefully built for power, meaning, and minimal drag coefficient, while others are as teeming and shambolic as a wild mushroom patch: fecund, organically erratic, and subject to what-the-hell quirk.
