Spoilers for Gangs of London season 1 and 2
The first season on Gangs of London hit in 2020 right at the start of lockdown, it came out of nowhere and blew viewers’ minds. Created by Gareth Evans and Matt Flannery this was a slick study of ultra violence set in the capital city, which explored the game play between international gangs vying to control different parts of the criminal underworld. Events of season one are kicked off when gangland boss and patriarch Finn Wallace (Colm Meaney) is assassinated and his headstrong son Sean (Joe Cole) takes over, hell bent on revenge. Meanwhile, Elliot Carter (Sope Dirisu), an undercover cop, is trying to infiltrate the Wallace/Dumani empire by becoming Sean’s right hand man.
Power struggles and betrayals come thick and fast – if you need a recap of what went down we’ve got you covered.

Brutal British crime drama Gangs of London is back for a second series on Sky Atlantic and Now, with a release date of 20th October in the UK and 17th November in the US, and it’s looking as dark and gritty as ever.
When the explosive first series launched in April 2020, this story of the turbulent power struggles of London’s criminal underworld – centring on the Wallace family and various other international gangs – was an instant hit, at the time becoming Sky Atlantic’s second-biggest original drama launch behind Chernobyl. As dramas go it’s a thrilling powerhouse of a series, full of epic fight scenes and twisty narrative, and certainly isn’t for the faint-hearted gore-wise.
Now it’s back for a second series, fans will certainly be looking forward to seeing their unanswered questions resolved, as well as being introduced to new players in this savage power game.

This review of “You Won’t Be Alone” was first published on Jan. 22 after its premiere at Sundance.
The dismal arthouse horror-drama “You Won’t Be Alone” will surely test the patience of viewers who expect a straightforward, character-driven, or even generic period chiller. Set in 19th century Macedonia, writer-director Goran Stolevski’s debut feature presents a disorienting narrative about Nevena (mostly played by Noomi Rapace), a shape-shifting teenage witch who’s kidnapped and then haunted by the malicious “wolf-eateress” conjurer Maria.
The movie’s heavy-handed and often distracting impressionistic style — lots of too-tight extreme close-ups, wobbly hand-held camerawork, whispery stream-of-conscious voiceover narration, and over-edited montages — will understandably frustrate some viewers and draw comparisons to recent dramas directed by Terrence Malick as well as Robert Eggers’ “elevated horror” movies “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse.”
Stolevski’s pretentious and mindlessly alienating style also smothers his ensemble cast’s performances and his crew’s diligent contributions,...

Epic nine-part drama series Gangs Of London blew audiences away when it landed in April becoming the biggest Sky Original drama launch on Sky Atlantic of the past five years. It was a complicated, sprawling and cinematic show that delved into the underworld of the international factions making England’s capital tick which left viewers hungry for more.
Little surprise then, that the show has been renewed for a second series.
Sky has announced that the show will be returning, with filming planned for next year with an air date scheduled for 2022. The announcement from Sky didn’t state in what capacity creators Gareth Evans and Matt Flannery would be returning. Similarly no announcement was made as to whether series directors Corin Hardy and Xavier Gens would be back, though all have said they’d have an appetite to come back to the show.
So where did series one leave us?...

Landing last week on Sky and Cinemax, Gangs Of London has been one of the most thrilling and explosive new shows around (check out our review) with a cliffhanger ending that leaves things open for more action.
While Gangs of London series 2 hasn’t been confirmed, there seems to be an appetite for it from show co-creator (along with Matt Flannery) Gareth Evans. Evans told The Metro:
‘There’s room for it. Without giving too much away, we definitely end the season on a note where people will be wanting more and asking what is happening next.
‘I’m treading carefully! It’s sort of a cliff-hanger but as most things it’s a story that takes on a lot of different aspects, there’s a lot of different characters in there, a lot of vested interests, there’s a lot of stray threats trailing in the wind ready to be picked up again.

Ace but brutal crime thriller Gangs Of London has just landed on our screens in a hail of blood and bullets. It’s an ultra violent, incredibly complex story of the multiple criminal factions in the capital city as well as an intense family saga which begins with crime lord and head of the Wallace family, Finn (Colm Meaney), being assassinated.
What follows is an intense nine part thriller full of twists, turns, surprises and a massive body count. It’s also very complicated. Here’s our handy guide to what happens in the finale, what it means for a second series and where all the main players are left at the end of Gangs Of London.
Who killed Finn Wallace?
As we saw in the first episode, the actual hit was carried out by Darren (Aled ap Steffan) with Ioan (Darren Evans) driving him. Both are now dead. The Danish Militia ordered the hit,...

The hit-and-run driver, whether they be a man, woman, young or old, is a coward — at least in the moment that they became their descriptor. The severity of the “hit” varies drastically, but what the role always comes down to is the person in the driver’s seat running away from their responsibilities, from the appropriate punishment for their actions.
The above preface is not for nothing. In director Catherine Corsini’s ‘Three Worlds,’ the aftermath of one such incident is told through the perspective of the driver, Al (Raphaël Personnaz), the witness, Juliette (Clotilde Hesme), and the wife of the victim, Vera (Arta Dobroshi).
Al is exactly who you don’t want to associate with a hit-and-run driver — he’s a human; he’s not the cold-blooded, shapeless monster in the night. He’s an indisputable coward, but his cowardice has plenty of logic behind it. Nobody wants to outright destroy their own life,...

It's the week before the Sundance Film Festival that best exemplifies the all encompassing commitment to indie film and up-and-coming filmmakers. The week prior to the madness in Park City, the Sundance Institute nurtures (in some snowy setting that I'd love to be a fly on the wall for) about a dozen projects via the Screenwriters and Directing Labs. So before we kick off our coverage for the 28th edition, I deemed it was fit to publish an interview (which took place same time last year) that I conducted with someone who is fresh from the labs with 2012's January lab invited project, Mitrovica. Brit Daniel Mulloy is an award-winning short filmmaker (over 80 fest awards folks) who belongs to both the extended Sundance filmmaking family and a celluloid loving family of his own -- we've featured his sister Lucy and her debut film, Una Noche which is headed off to Berlin next month.

The week before the beast known as Sundance gets unleashed, 12 projects and their writers/directors will hit the Sundance Resort in Utah and get to work with such names as Lisa Cholodenko, Nicole Holofcener and Joachim Trier on what they hope will one day become feature film projects. This year appears to have more stories that go beyond U.S. borders and worth noting several of the mentioned lab attendees have a bit more "clout". Among the dozen, we have helmer Jonas Carpignano who'll be basing his feature on his award-winning short, A Chjàna (which won at the Venice Film Festival, we've got Ioana Uricaru (one of the filmmaker contributors on Cristian Mungiu's Tales From the Golden Age) who'll work from a U.S./Romanian perspective.

Odds that a Sundance short films program will be a good harvest are in the high percentile -- with over 6000 short film submissions sent in and about less than 100 selected certainly increases those odds. In any given year at the festival, you could easily trace back a filmmaker's presenting his/her feature film to the roots of shorts included in the fest from previous years. Because we're big on auteur theory, this year's coverage will include several short film items. Program IV was the tops of my list because it includes the latest works from two filmmakers I discovered in 2006 with their ward-winning shorts: Carter Smith (Bugcrush) and Daniel Mulloy (Antonio's Breakfast). Carter Smith's Yearbook (see pic above) was a Diy (set in his kitchen actually) is a slideshow talking-heads-esque with distinct flavors a la Smith -- warped comedy elements (perhaps a companion piece to Bugcrush) with sci-fi elements.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s “Three Monkeys” and the Dardenne brothers’ “Le Silence de Lorna” are two films that provoked feelings of admiration at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, and not without reason. Ceylan is one of the consistent Turkish auteurs whose filmography is distinguished for the austere and cinematographic-specific way it treats its subject matter. The same applies to the Dardenne brothers who have created a distinctive filming style that deftly oscillates between emotional detachment and intense involvement.
Among other similarities, the two films share an emphasis on cinematographic narration in the way Robert Bresson understood it, that is, as a diegetic form that is not subservient to the plot or the scenario. In both films, the camera does not function as a means of reproduction of a pro-filmic reality, but as an instigator of emotions, gestures and responses that are not necessarily predetermined by the script. On the surface, they...

You wonder if the Dardenne brothers' no-bullshit mode of indie filmmaking will ever become over-familiar or even clichéd -- it's so simple that you can imagine scores of filmmakers using it (as of now, only a few have bothered). Honestly, though, the least simple part of it may be the most difficult: getting funding for films that don't use soundtrack music cues or establishing shots or tidy feel-good plot-arcs.
Luc and Jean-Pierre D. like to drip their narrative information at a rate that leans us forward in our seats -- they throw us into the deep end, and in time, we learn to swim. In their new film "Lorna's Silence," we're deep in before we come to understand that the plain, boyish Lorna (Arta Dobroshi), who's just become a naturalized Belgian, was able to do so because she is in fact married to Claudy (Jérémie Renier), the clingy, emaciated junkie that shares her apartment.

Chicago – Silence speaks volumes in the cinema of Belgian brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. Their characters are often young people living on society’s fringes, who keep their thoughts internalized rather than discuss them out loud. There is no music, no narration, and none of the usual cinematic conventions employed to tell the audience what to think or how to feel.
“Lorna’s Silence” is the Dardenne Brothers’ fourth consecutive feature to be honored at the Cannes Film Festival. They are the only Belgian filmmakers that have won the Palme d’Or, which they claimed for both “Rosetta” (1999) and “L’enfant” (2005). Growing up in Belgium’s postindustrial French-speaking region, the Dardennes made a great number of documentaries before venturing into narrative film. The influence of their upbringing and the observant tone of their nonfiction work are apparent in every film they’ve made.
DVD Rating: 4.0/5.0

Public Enemies (Universal) Johnny Depp portrays legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger in co- writer/director Michael Mann’s take on America’s first “Public Enemy Number One.” Like many big studio releases today, Public Enemies has it all: A-list talent before and behind the camera, but lacks a heart or soul that allows its audience to connect with it. Film plays out like a “true crime” TV show with re-enactments of famous events cast with top actors and shot by the best technicians in the business, with little, if any, character or story development to hold it together in between. A real disappointment from one of our finest filmmakers and finest actors. The lone standout: the great character actor Stephen Lang as a hard-eyed lawman who’s seen a lot, but manages to retain a tiny piece of his heart. For a better take on the same subject,...

Public Enemies (Universal) Johnny Depp portrays legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger in co- writer/director Michael Mann’s take on America’s first “Public Enemy Number One.” Like many big studio releases today, Public Enemies has it all: A-list talent before and behind the camera, but lacks a heart or soul that allows its audience to connect with it. Film plays out like a “true crime” TV show with re-enactments of famous events cast with top actors and shot by the best technicians in the business, with little, if any, character or story development to hold it together in between. A real disappointment from one of our finest filmmakers and finest actors. The lone standout: the great character actor Stephen Lang as a hard-eyed lawman who’s seen a lot, but manages to retain a tiny piece of his heart. For a better take on the same subject,...

For the first time ever in the history of the Toronto Film Critics Association Awards, two films tie for Best Picture. Steve McQueen's "Hunger" and Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" shared the top prize, while Kathryn Bigelow was named Best Director for "The Hurt Locker."
There's also a tie in the Best Screenplay category between "Inglourious Basterds" and "Up in the Air."
Yes, a signal of what's in store this awards season, winners are all over the place. For example, Nicolas Cage came out of left-field to nab the Best Actor award for his performance in "The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," while the astounding Carey Mulligan was named Best Actress for her role in the brilliant "An Education."
Oh, and I love that the Toronto Film Critics picked "The Cove" for Best Documentary -- great eye-opening film!

It's verging on a sweep for Kathryn Bigelow. Fresh off the Golden Globe nom for The Hurt Locker, the Toronto Film Critic's Association has just published their list of award winners and while the film itself didn't get the best picture nod, there Bigelow is again as best director. The fact that they picked Nicolas Cage as best actor for his role in Bad Lieutenant makes me particularly proud of where I live, as does the general diversity of the rest of the list. If we're not careful people might actually start to think that Toronto's critics actually watch more than is available in the multiplex ...

Lorna’S Silence (Le silence de Lorna) is the title of this newest film from the filmmaking brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. The siblings’ films tend to be preoccupied with themes involving unconventional family dynamics and small-time underworld crime, such as The Promise (La promesse, 1996) and The Infant (L’enfant, 2005). Lorna’S Silence is no different, featuring a story similar in theme.
Lorna (Arta Dobroshi) is a young Albanian woman working in Belgium as a dry cleaner. Her dream is to open a small snack bar/cafe with her boyfriend Sokol. In order to pay for this venture, Lorna falls in with Fabio, a taxi driver with underworld connections. Fabio arranges for Lorna to marry a local junkie named Claudy (Jeremie Renier) so that she can acquire Belgian citizenship. Once done, Lorna and Claudy will divorce so that she can marry a Russian mobster who also wishes to obtain Belgian...

From Auguste and Louis Lumière onwards, filmmaking partnerships with last names like Coen, Duplass, Hughes, Maysles, Polish, Quay, Wachowski, Taviani, Zellner and Zucker – just to name a few – have been proving that siblings and cinema go well together, and Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne are certainly no exceptions. The Belgian filmmakers, born in Liège in 1951 and 1954 respectively, have been making films as a duo since 1975, when they formed the production company Dérives. After a decade of making documentaries, they shifted to doc-style fiction filmmaking with Falsch (1986), but it was not until La Promesse, about a slum landlord, his son...

Powerful, unflinching drama about money schemes and immigration is fifth consecutive great film from Belgium’s Dardenne brothers
Few filmmakers have made such a string of artistic successes as Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne from Belgium. Even fewer have done it with a style so original and distinct as to influence filmmakers the world over. And fewer still have done it from a steady perspective of compassion. By all evidence, the Dardennes care deeply about the world’s forgotten people.

The always reliable Dardenne brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, the Belgian poets of the underclass, outdo themselves in "Lorna's Silence."
The main reason has to be a riveting performance by the lead actress, Arta Dobroshi, as the pixieish Lorna, a young Albanian woman who works at a dry cleaner and dreams of opening a cafe in Belgium.
In order to become a resident of the country, she marries a Belgian junkie, Claudy, who is well played by Dardenne regular Jérémie Renier.
The marriage is part of an intricate plot by Lorna's mob handlers. They'll see to it...

Where most movies build toward a critical, character-defining decision, the films of Belgium’s Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne start with or even postdate them. What interests the Dardennes is not why people do bad things—or, less frequently, good ones. It’s how they live with their decisions after the fact, how they absorb and reconcile the consequences of their actions. Albanian immigrant Arta Dobroshi, the titular heroine of Lorna’s Silence, crosses her Rubicon before the film begins, and spends its latter stages trying to figure out how and if she can wade back across the current. When she ...

Arta Dobroshi was a surprise. Dressed in a pretty turquoise sleeveless sweater and jeans, she stepped into the small office on the Thessaloniki pier, where I was to interview her, with a bright pretty smile and fresh eyes, and immediately went to the window and opened it. "My it's hot in here", she said, fanning her face.. I stared at her. "I don't recognize you," I said. She laughed. "That's because I am smiling! I do smile, you know. But not in the film." It is true. The character Lorna she plays in the Dardenne Brothers new film Silence of Lorna never smiles. She has good reason not to. An Albanian immigrant in Belgium, trying to make ends meet, she resorts to scamming a heroin addict along with some thugs. Arta explained that like the...

The Dardenne Brothers' latest film The Silence of Lorna probes--as do many of their films-- the underside of humanity: what happens when people are willing to do anything--even kill--to economically survive. Lorna, an Albanian immigrant in Belgium, goes along with a plot to marry (and murder) a heroin addict for his papers, and is tormented by the moral consequences. I spoke to Luc Dardenne as well as actress Arta Dobroshi about their film at the Greek Thessaloniki International Film Festival. Your films are hard to watch because you often depict human beings willing to do anything to survive--to get money--which turns them into beasts, immoral agents. Lorna simply wants to make her life better. She is driven by this desire to get ahead. She is no different from anyone else. Everyone wants to get ahead. Immigrants want to...

- The Italians apparently do it better. Matteo Garrone's Gomorrah and Paolo Sorrentino's Il Divo grabbed 5 nominations each with Toni Servillo getting nominated as best actor (see above) for his parts in both films. Two films that I thought were worthy contenders in several categories in Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s Three Monkeys and Abdellatif Kechiche’s The Secret of the Grain were shut out while Steve McQueen’s Hunger got two noms but failed to grab a Best Film nom. Last year’s The Orphanage and Waltz With Bashir both receive four nominations. This year’s Palme d'Or winner walked away with noms for best film and best director. Other well represented films include Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky, Joe Wright's Atonement, Andreas Dresen's Cloud 9 and Eran Riklis' Lemon Tree. Winners will be announced on December 6th in Copenhagen. Here are the categories.: European

Local Scene: Brazil This week, it was announced by one of the country's biggiest newspapers that Jose Padilha was producing a sequel to Tropa de Elite. This rumor was quickly put to rest by the producers of the movie, who claim , that at the moment, no one is actually involved in such a project. Rodrigo Pimentel (screenwriter of the first movie) would also be back and the movie would involve four new stories, including one of a reporter infiltrated on the squad. Hollywood Style.

Le Silence de Lorna, Cannes, In Competition
While the Belgian-born Dardenne brothers are genetically incapable of making an uninteresting film, it must be admitted that "Le Silence de Lorna" -- though always eminently watchable -- is not up to the standards of their devastating 2005 Golden Palm winner, "The Child", or previous miracles like "The Son", "Rosetta" (winner of the Golden Palm in 1999), and "The Promise".
Thus, while their diminutive but devoted international fan base can be counted on to turn out for this new film as well, its success in most territories is going to be even more modest than usual. Ancillary possibilities, especially on DVD and Euro television, look more promising.
All the while maintaining their signature hand-held, quick-cut, slice-of-life aesthetic, the Dardenne brothers have ventured into new territory here. This time they focus their all-seeing camera on a young Albanian woman, Lorna, who has married a Belgian drug addict to obtain Belgian citizenship.
On the one hand, it's good to see the Dardennes trying something new, something beyond their normal cast of working-class Belgian feckless ne'er-do-wells. On the other hand, it feels like they don't really know this new territory very well -- neither in terms of the novel characters they're using, or the physical move to Liege from Seraing, the industrial town in which all their previous films have been set -- giving "Le Silence de Lorna" a highly derivative feel. Throw an Italian mobster and a Russian mafioso into the mix, and the resulting stew feels very foreign indeed.
As always in their films, the principal focus is on a moral dilemma faced by the chief protagonist. In this case, Lorna's gangster co-conspirator Fabio wants to kill off the drug addict, Claudy (played with intensity by Jeremie Renier, who debuted with the Dardennes at age 14 in "The Promise"), with an overdose of heroin. The more scrupulous, less ruthless Lorna wants get rid of Claudy by following the riskier course of faking grounds for divorce instead.
To this end, she bangs her arms against the door in one scene and smashes her forehead against the wall in another, all in order to provide evidence that the pathetic Claudy is abusing her. At the same time, and contradictorily, she is also trying to save him from his drug habit and in the process becomes emotionally attached to him.
The moral dilemmas in these films also always stem from untenable positions that the socially-disadvantaged characters find themselves in. In this regard, Lorna is only a slightly less vivid example of a sad lineup that the Dardennes have consistently offered up in an ongoing, powerful critique of the unjust world that some human beings continue to construct at the expense of others.
