From the Vengeance Trilogy to Cannes 2026, Park Chan-wook has reshaped global perceptions of Korean cinema. A clear portrait of his style, key milestones, major Cannes moments, and the films that made his name.
I saw La Vénus électrique at UGC Maillot on opening night of Cannes. After a safe, unsurprising ceremony, the theatre filled up for the film everyone had been waiting for.
With Etty, Hagai Levi adapts the diaries of Etty Hillesum in a series set in the present, led by Julia Windischbauer. A deeply intimate work about writing, hatred and inner resistance.
May opens under the sign of Cannes. Almodóvar in competition, Salvadori opening the festival, L’Abandon, Jaoui, Sorogoyen, The Mandalorian. Our pick of the films not to miss in May 2026 – with trailers.
Cannes remains the one place in the world where cinema still speaks as though it has something urgent to say. Not just a showcase, not just a market, a moment when films from everywhere arrive on the same Croisette with the same ambition: to matter.
The movies and series of April 2026 open with Kristoffer Borgli’s The Drama — Zendaya and Robert Pattinson in an A24 dark comedy that divides critics and stays with you long after. Yellow Letters by Ilker Çatak, Golden Bear in Berlin, confirms one of the strongest voices in European cinema. And on streaming: Euphoria returns after four years, The Boys signs off, Richard Gadd delivers Half Man.
The skies were closed. The films were here. The 26th Festival of Israeli Cinema in Paris ended on 24 March 2026. Ten days at the Majestic Passy, in a climate of record antisemitism — and yet audiences came in force, and the films held, resisted, moved. Here are the ones that stayed with me.
The 98th Academy Awards take place this Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners arrives with 16 nominations – an absolute record in Oscar history. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another has swept every major precursor award. One of them will have to give way. And in the background: a war, a drone threat over California, and a filmmaker who may return to prison tomorrow.
The 26th Paris Israeli Film Festival runs March 16–24, 2026 at Majestic Passy. Eight features, five documentaries, nine short films in competition and special sections — including The Chouchani Enigma, tied to the Falafel Cinéma podcast. Patron this year: Radu Mihăileanu, filmmaker of exile and memory.
March 2026 is an exceptional month. Pixar swings for the fences with Jumpers, Maggie Gyllenhaal reinvents Frankenstein in IMAX with The Bride!, and Ryan Gosling saves humanity on March 20 in Project Hail Mary — the blockbuster of the year. On streaming: One Piece Season 2 all at once, the Peaky Blinders movie, Nicole Kidman in Scarpetta, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, a live-action Lucky Luke and For All Mankind Season 5. Everything worth watching, week by week.
In Woman and Child, Saeed Roustaee follows one woman from the opening frame to the final shot. A nurse, a mother, a fiancée. Then grief. Without melodrama, the film observes how social pressure seeps into intimacy and turns justice into a family ordeal.
