Episode 6 of ‘The Acolyte’ was released today, and I have to admit, it was just as we predicted last week – boring. Once again, not much happened, aside from a few breadcrumbs.
Osha is stuck with Qimir, who, after a few raunchy scenes, reveals that he used to be a Jedi. He tempts her with overwhelming power if she channels her anger, sadness, lust, etc., which she recognizes as the path to the dark side.
Osha had the chance to strike Qimir down but chose not to. In a moment of anger, she admitted that she failed as a Jedi, which is why she left the order. At the end of the episode, we see her putting on Qimir’s cortosis helmet.
On the other side, we have Mae and Sol. Mae believes Sol has no idea who she is, while she secretly plots to take him down. Sol sends a...

Episode 6 of ‘The Acolyte’ was released today, and I have to admit that it was honestly as we predicted it to be last week – boring. Pretty much nothing happened yet again, except for a few thrown breadcrumbs.
Osha is stuck with Qimir, who after a few raunchy scenes reveals that he used to be a Jedi. He tempts her with power overwhelming if she utilizes her anger, sadness, lust, etc. which she recognizes as the path to the dark side.
Osha had the opportunity to strike him down but chose not to, she also in a moment of anger admitted that she failed as a Jedi and that’s why she left the order. At the end of the episode, we see her putting on Qimir’s cortosis helmet.
On the opposite side, we have Mae and Sol. Mae is under the impression that Sol has no idea who she is,...

Following up his stellar, 3.5-hour drama Malmkrog, Romanian director Cristi Puiu has premiered his latest film Mmxx at San Sebastian Film Festival. Portraying four short stories and four moments in time capturing the wanderings of a few souls, stuck at the crossroads of history, we’re now pleased to exclusively premiere the film’s first trailer.
Here’s the synopsis: “Oana Pfifer, a young therapist, gradually slips into the net of the questionnaire she submits to her patient. Mihai, Oana’s brother, worrying about his birthday, is stuck in a story far bigger than he can handle. Septimiu, Oana’s husband, concerned about his health, vaguely listens to a strange story his colleague was caught up in a while ago. Narcis Patranescu, an organized crime detective, deals with an unsettling dark story while interrogating a young woman at a funeral.”
“I don’t understand the world,” the director recently told Cineuropa.

Clearly the Covid-19 scenario’s been on Cristi Puiu’s mind. After all, the Romanian director loudly voiced his opposition to mask mandates when on the publicity trail of his previous outing, the more impressive turn-of-the-century period drama Malmkrog. While his latest work is hardly a call-to-arms, Puiu is all-too-keen to bring up his disdain for bureaucracy, its concoction of corrupt officials and untrustworthy political leadership that brings forth the societal (or personal) fragility at the heart of his films. Mmxx‘s four pandemic vignettes mark alluring, somewhat wayward film that’s in turns provocative and frustratingly opaque.
The medley of pandemic anecdotes are a psychotherapy session helmed by Oana (Bianca Cuculici), whose questioning of a new patient appears to reveal more her own discomforts than the person she’s treating; a nighttime scene in which Oana’s brother (Laurențiu Bondarenco) prepares a party, interrupted by a medical emergency involving...
