"R.M.N.," the latest film from Palme d'Or winning director Cristian Mungiu, had its world premiere at last year's Cannes Film Festival, where it received strong reviews for its writing, direction, performances, and use of long takes. The film is being released in theaters this weekend from IFC Films and is a haunting, layered piece of work that still has those who have seen it buzzing about its themes and striking ending. Cristian was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with me about his work on the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interviews With "Fellow Travelers" Costume Designer Joseph La Corte & Production Designer Anastasia Masaro

The Jordan Harbinger Show is a podcast we've been listening to - do check it out! We hope you like it as much as we do.

Introducing the Jordan Harbinger Show

"Evil Does Not Exist" had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its direction and writing from Ryūsuke Hamaguchi, and score by Japanese singer-songwriter and musician Eiko Ishibashi. Following their collaboration on the Oscar-winning film, "Drive My Car," the two intended to make a 30-minute short film accompanied by a live score. But as the production got lengthier and the shoot went along, Hamaguchi decided to turn it into a feature film with dialogue, which is the film we have today. Ishibashi was kind enough to sit and talk with us about her latest work which can be listened to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release in the U.S. from Sideshow/Janus Films. Thank you, and enjoy!
