No Rules in 'Fair Play'
Rules are nowhere to be seen in the harsh unfiltered reality of ‘Fair Play.’

The video deals with peripheral areas of Milan: spaces excluded from the sparkling imagery advertising EXPO2015. Only unproductive parcels, debris of urban gardens and spontaneous weeds are left. Shot at night in these dehumanized areas, barely revealed by street lights or by the flashlight of night security guards. The reverberation of off-screen sounds gives back the vastness of these construction sites, whose complete vision is denied to the viewer. Gradually some radio conversations emerge.

Masterful satire that shines a light on the struggles of Black creatives.
Coralie Fargeat once said that “Being a woman is body horror,” and when you think about the ways we are taught to experience our own bodies, it becomes almost impossible to argue with her.
For one widowed father and his five kids, an extraordinary gift will change their lives forever.
Over the last several years, I have had the privilege of being one of the critics having the opportunity to watch and review several films from writer/director/producer Marcellus Cox, whose efforts are never anything less but grounded, relevant, and steeped in unflinching glimpses illustrating the gripping, inspired, and ever-vacillating realms that make up the human condition.
Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.
