US independent director Jim Jarmusch proves surprise Venice winner
U.S. indie director Jim Jarmusch unexpectedly won the coveted Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday with "Father Mother Sister Brother", a three-part meditation on the uneasy ties between parents and their adult children, Reuters reported.
Although his gentle comedy received largely positive reviews, it had not been a favourite for the top prize, with many critics instead tipping "The Voice of Hind Rajab", a harrowing true-life account of the killing of a five-year-old Palestinian girl during the Gaza war.
In the end, the film directed by Tunisia's Kaouther Ben Hania took the runner-up Silver Lion.
Divided into chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, "Father Mother Sister Brother" features an ensemble cast including Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat, according to Reuters.
New Bollywood romcom sparks debate over stereotyping south India
A new Bollywood film has reignited an age-old conversation around how India's largest and most influential film industry represents characters from non-Hindi speaking states, BBC reported.
Param Sundari, a romcom starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, is a love story between a woman from the southern state of Kerala and a man from Delhi in northern India.
Param and Sundari first butt heads and then fall in love, successfully overcoming the cultural differences between them.
The idea isn't new: Bollywood has long explored north-south cultural clashes through romcoms, and in a multilingual country, well-executed cross-cultural romances can be a hit, according to BBC.
PSG hit with double injury blow as Dembele and Doue ruled out for weeks
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Ousmane Dembele faces about six weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, while winger Désiré Doué will be out of action for around four weeks due to a calf problem, the European champions said, Reuters reported.
The pair suffered injuries during France's 2-0 victory over Ukraine in a FIFA World Cup qualifier in Poland on Friday. Doue was replaced by Dembélé at halftime, only for the 28-year-old to later limp off in the 81st minute.
Dembélé, one of the favorites to win this year's Ballon d'Or, was instrumental in PSG's treble-winning campaign last season, which included their first Champions League title along with Ligue 1, French Cup and French Super Cup triumphs.
He bagged 35 goals and registered 16 assists in 53 appearances across all competitions for PSG last season, according to Reuters.
