If you went in and digitally removed all the smartphones from Peacock’s new series Poker Face, it could’ve aired right alongside Columbo and The Rockford Files in a 1970s NBC primetime lineup. Co-creators Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne dust off a creaky old format — the guest-star-studded mystery of the week — and put a stylish spin on it, delivering a noir-flavored, tongue-in-cheek homage to TV detective shows past. Even if you weren’t born back then, though, Poker Face (debuting this Thursday; I’ve seen the first five episodes) is still a quirky and clever good time, powered by...

This article contains some spoilers for The Menu, Glass Onion, and Triangle of Sadness.
There is something incredibly satisfying about watching the super rich fumble. The internet is joyous whenever celebrities make an ill-judged attempt at earnestness (think the infamous pandemic “Imagine” video), and everyone is ravenous over the almost daily faux pas of a certain social media owning billionaire. It seems screenwriters and filmmakers noticed.
Recently, there has been a slew of films and TV shows that display rich people and all their foibles so audiences can relish in their demise: The White Lotus, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and Triangle of Sadness, to name but a few. And the recent phenomenon did not occur in a vacuum.

Well, all right: the headline isn’t 100 ironclad. Your mileage may vary on where the best of Hong Sangsoo’s recent work—let’s say the last five films instead of the last five years; the latter encompasses, oh, nine features—but The Novelist’s Film (basically) confirmed my suspicion he’s (more or less) our greatest director. At least it’s 92 minutes as they should be spent: a handful of perfectly measured scenes, an amazingly honest window into the artist’s process, a couple good gags, and as most movies strive for one good ending (only to fail), The Novelist’s Film boasts two perfect finales.

Hong Sangsoo’s level of productivity probably hasn’t been matched on the screen since the run of Rainer Werner Fassbinder. “The Novelist’s Film,” his latest gently ambling and self-reflexive drama about the craft of filmmaking, is the South Korean director’s 27th movie. It’s also his second this year alongside “Walk Up.” Exclusively on IndieWire, watch the trailer for “The Novelist’s Film” below. Cinema Guild opens it at Lincoln Center on October 28 before bringing it to select theaters beginning November 4.

One chance encounter leads to another, and soon she finds herself having lunch with Kilsoo, a well-known actress also questioning her role as an artist.
