If you’ve got “face of fungi” biologist Merlin Sheldrake’s global bestseller Entangled Life on your bookshelf, unbattered and spine uncracked, this documentary might feel like an easier option. A beginner’s guide to fungi, just 40 minutes long, it is narrated by Björk and presented by the gently eccentric Sheldrake (imagine Timothée Chalamet playing a Cambridge academic, with a mop of unruly curls). It’s being released in 3D on the giant screen at London’s BFI Imax – all the better to gawp at Steve Axford’s trippy…

Will & Harper, the doc about friends Will Ferrell and Harper Steele, has landed at Netflix in a massive eight-figure deal. The doc is about friends reconnecting after a major life event, and those friends just happen to be Ferrell and former Saturday Night Live head writer Steele. Following Steele coming out as a trans woman, the duo set out together for a cross-country trip, during which they talk in depth about their friendship and the experience of being trans in America. Josh Greenbaum…

Movie history “what if” scenarios can get pretty wild. Back To The Future’s legacy as one of the best sci-fi movies has proven that fact several times over, especially with the 1985 classic originally casting Eric Stolz to play Marty McFly. But now, another tangent timeline has been revealed, as there’s a story behind executive producer Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis offering the role of Christopher Lloyd’s Doc Brown to a pretty popular rock star. A star that then promptly turned them down, once he realized they…

With a healthy dose of heart and whimsy, the Sundance documentary Seeking Mavis Beacon follows two young Black women who are devoted to finding the original model for Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. If you touched a computer during the '80s or '90s, there's a good chance that Mavis helped you get comfortable with a keyboard. Or at the very least, you might remember her from the program's original 1987 cover: a smiling, elegant Black woman dressed in a cream-colored outfit. She embodied style and professional poise — it was…

Once upon a time on the West Coast, two bands were plotting a revolution. Well, really, it was one musician concocting a grand plan to dismantle the record industry, bring back a massive revival of 1960s psychedelic rock, and achieve total world domination. His name was Anton Newcombe, and this singer/multi-instrumentalist fronted a San Francisco group blessed with one of the greatest names of any 1990s band: The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The only thing better than their moniker was the music itself, which…

With their yellow radiation suits, red “energy dome” hats and manic energy, part playful and part angry, the band Devo combined the futuristic glamour of new wave with atomic-age anxieties and post-’60s disillusionment. Its biggest hit, 1980’s “Whip It,” injected subversive satire straight into the heart of the American cultural mainstream.A definitive new documentary about the group, “Devo,” has its world premiere at Sundance tonight. The film is directed by Chris Smith, whose prior work, including “American Movie,”…

Eternal You, a new documentary premiering at Sundance about the nauseating new world of digital afterlife technology, opens on a woman, Christi Angel, staring into a computer screen. She’s messaging with a dead loved one and tears are streaming down her face. “This experience… It was creepy,” she says. “There were things that scared me. And a lot of stuff I didn’t want to hear I wasn’t prepared to hear.” We soon learn that Angel — quite the name, given this otherworldly endeavor — is a New Yorker who’s been…

Skywalkers: A Love Story, which premieres at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. Documentary Competition, tells the incredible true story of a Russian couple- Angela and Vanya, two daredevil protagonists who take on the mission to climb the world’s last super skyscraper and perform a bold acrobatic stunt. Filmed over six years across six countries, the documentary uses extreme climbing as a metaphor for sustaining their relationship at the core. (Also read: Against the Tide review: Men at crossroads in Mumbai's…

You can never step in the same river twice. And, unless you are blessed with an infinite amount of patience, time, and mortality, you can never see the same version of the Sundance documentary Eno twice. This is by design. Brian Eno — former Roxy Music member, legendary recording producer, Berlin-era Bowie bestie, ambient music pioneer, and a man who rocked a Seventies kimono like no other — is not someone who likes dwelling on the past or being pinned down. The idea of a movie chronicling his 50-year career…
