Nolan and Cameron have cracked the code. Directors are more bankable than superheroes. While MCU and Star Wars flounder, they're breaking box office records. New essay on why: cinemainonetake.substack.com/p/hollywood-st…
@uk3578 Coogler is the closest American to the mark but Sinners was a long way from $1 billion and he needs another decade of hits. Gerwig has had one bonafide blockbuster and it was IP. But both could follow in Nolan and Cameron's footsteps.
@uk3578 Thank you for your reasoned reply. For me, nuclear level is $1 billion.For me, nuclear level is $1 billion. Inception didn't quite get there with DiCaprio starring. Oppenheimer basically did with Cillian Murphy playing a physicist in a suit for 3 hours. But I take your point
That is Steven Spielberg's God Problem open.substack.com/pub/cinemainon…
Disclosure Day is the film that most directly tests that argument. It raises the biggest question he has ever asked — does God survive the revelation of alien life? — and then retreats into childhood before answering it.
Steven Spielberg's God Problem Every Spielberg film is secretly about the same thing: whether God survived the modern world.
Spielberg has never killed God. Disclosure Day is where that starts to cost him. New essay: "Steven Spielberg and the God That Science Cannot Kill" open.substack.com/pub/cinemainon…
@silverstarek Thank you for the correction. I've corrected the essay. The Ophir/Oscar submission story belongs to Ajami, which is the relevant example. The broader point about Palestinian filmmakers navigating these structures stands, but the specific detail was wrong. I have updated!
Nadav Lapid has backed sanctions against Israel for years. His films are among the fiercest attacks on the Israeli state in cinema. A cultural boycott pushed him out of FIDMarseille anyway. I wrote about why no test — passport, politics, funding — works. Nobody passes.
@math4art you could say the sentiment was pure maths!
@math4art I've been writing professionally for almost 30 years and this is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my work. (And I've had a lot of compliments.)
@math4art Sadly I don't have time to write that book :) Thank you for engaging so thoughtfully.

Listen to the Cinema in One Take podcast and hear film critics @aftabamon & Emma Jones recommend the new release of Hafsia Herzi's The Little Sister released exclusively at Ciné Lumière from 10 June ▶️podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/bac… 🎟️ institut-francais.org.uk/cinema/the-lit…
I've written the tribute that I've been thinking about since she died. Link here: open.substack.com/pub/cinemainon…
She also said: "Take Picasso — such an arsehole with women, but a genius, so it was overlooked. But women have to be great mothers, lovers, dance well, cook well, always be kind. I'm not always kind. Not a single woman I know is always kind." 5/6
Marjane Satrapi died last week. Age, a ridiculous 56. My Cinema In One Take co-host texted me. I shouted the news to my wife. She replied: "That doesn't bode well for us then, does it." 1/6
