by Nick TaylorIf you’re looking for a fun, unbelievably cute watch this Pride, you couldn’t do better than Angela Robinson’s D.E.B.S., a 2004 comedy with a clear mission statement: What if Charlie’s Angels was lesbians, with the ass-kicking superspy and her archnemesis falling head over heels for each other? An expansion of her own short film, (which you can and should watch for free on Vimeo right here!) Robinson delivers a parody built on real affection for the material it’s inverting.

by Nick TaylorHappy (belated) Mother’s Day, everybody!! I did not plan on watching Lars von Trier’s Palme-winning musical tragedy at the break of dawn on May 11th, but sometimes fate gives you a funny little coincidence to make a work of art even more resonant than it would already be.

by Nick TaylorWe at TFE are wishing a Happy 25th Birthday to Wong Kar-Wai’s melancholic romantic drama In the Mood for Love, which debuted on this day at Cannes. It went home with the Best Actor award and the Technical Grand Prize for its cinematography and editing, and if you ask around there’s a good chance folks would say it still got short-shrifted by Luc Besson’s jury. Its stamp on the cinema firmament, an apex of the sumptuous mood and style Wong made his name on, is beyond reproach.

by Nick TaylorHello, TFE readers! If you're like me, you'll be sitting out Cannes this year, using the time to read press coverage or finally see that one thing you've been meaning to watch while others swan across the croisette, conduct interviews, and shill merch for Troma Studios. I'll be spending the 78th Cannes Film Festival and the site's 10|25|50|75|100 series to visit ceremonies of years past, making new friends and revisiting familiar faces.
