'Architecton' Review: Victor Kossakovsky's Magnetic Film Essay Reflects On Man's Relationship With Nature – Berlin Film Festival
'Gunda' Director Victor Kossakovsky On Empathy For Farm Animals And Finding His Porcine 'Meryl Streep'
Ayo Edebiri Built 'Barney' Pitch During Asia Trip
The Berlin Film Festival, where Architecton premiered in 2024, wrote of the film, 'Centering on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, Kossakovsky uses the circle to reflect on the rise and fall of civilizations, capturing breathtaking imagery from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon, dating back to AD 60, to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in early 2023. Rocks and stone connect the disparate societies, from ghostly monoliths stuck in the earth to tragic heaps of concrete rubble waiting to be hauled off and repurposed anew.'
Architecton has earned rave reviews from critics, including Deadline's Damon Wise. Reviewing the film out of the Berlinale, he wrote, 'Kossakovsky's roving eye takes us around the world, in a travelogue that shows us the resilience of the old world versus the transience of the modern. It shows the poetics of ruin, but it is a cycle with diminishing returns; the debris of the Romans and Greeks still has a grandeur and majesty that is missing from the shabby detritus of the modern world, as we see in the aftermath of the earthquake that laid waste to Turkey in the summer of [2023].'
Wise added, 'Kossakovsky's fascinating, magnetic film essay does help us to reassess what we've lost over the centuries. And, best of all, it isn't depressing… [I]t is a warning sounded in the good faith of being heard in the nick of time.'
The Russian-born Kossakovsky – who has lived for many years outside of Russia – has earned dozens of awards around the world for his films, including Sreda (1997), Russia From My Window (2003), ¡Vivan las antípodas! (2011), and Aquarela (2018). His 2020 documentary Gunda, executive produced by Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix, examined the life of a pig raising a farrow of piglets who are then seized and sent to slaughter. Gunda earned a place on the Oscar shortlist of that year's top documentary features.

‘Splitsville' Duo Michael Angelo Covino & Kyle Marvin Challenge Conventional Wisdom On Comedy's Global Reach – Comedy Means Business Podcast
As multi-hyphenates who together have premiered a pair of acclaimed indie comedies at Cannes — first The Climb in 2019, and more recently, Splitsville — Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin have a unique perspective on the old adage that comedies don't travel internationally. 'At the advent of cinema, what were the first blockbusters?' asks Covino in an appearance alongside Marvin on our Comedy Means Business podcast. 'It was like Charlie Chapman and Buster Keaton and a ton of Pre-Code stuff where everyone was naked. But for the most part, it was slapstick. It was silent films where people were falling down or crashing into things or a hose was spraying them in the face, and that is universal and goes worldwide.' More from Deadline From Touring With Vampire Weekend To Helming Tribeca Prize-Winner 'On A String': Isabel Hagen On Forging A Unique Career Synthesizing Music & Comedy – Comedy Means Business Podcast Leanne Morgan & Chuck Lorre Defy Decline Of The Stand-Up-Driven Sitcom With Netflix's 'Leanne' – Comedy Means Business Podcast Joe List & Manager Chris Burns Talk Building Direct-To-Consumer Career & Going Theatrical With 'Small Ball' Special - Comedy Means Business Podcast In the case of 'very specific, topical comedy that is of a place and speaking to zeitgeist only, then sure,' Covino can see a case being made that a comedy might not translate. 'But universal comedy, I think, translates better than any other genre.' Covino and Marvin's films together jointly embody an interest in absurdist comedy elevated by sharp writing and dynamic visuals, which focuses on relationships. While The Climb focuses on a revelation emerging from a long-distance bike ride and the strain that it puts on the relationship between two friends, Splitsville tells the story of two evolving marriages, and another revelation that complicates the relationship between those two couples. When Ashley (Adria Arjona) tells Carey (Marvin), abruptly during a road trip, that she's been repeatedly unfaithful and wants a divorce, Carey turns for solace to married friends Paul (Covino) and Julie (Dakota Johnson), learning that the key to their personal happiness has been to open up their relationship. In a last-ditch attempt to salvage his marriage, Carey pitches Ashley on a similar situation, and chaos ensues. Covino tells me on the podcast that a driving force behind his films with Marvin has been an interest in 'strong point of view' — stories embodying a unique juxtaposition between 'grounded emotions and characters' and 'absurd…and farcical situations.' From Marvin's perspective, the film also highlights their very simple goal of making sure that 'people are entertained' if they take the time to check out their work, in a moment where there are seemingly unlimited options, as far as what people can be consuming or doing with their time. 'I think for us, that means not holding back,' Marvin explains. 'If you can make everything interesting and compelling and believable, why would you hold back on the scenarios or situations that are fun to watch or have things going on that put pressure on character? I think we talk a lot about that entertainment value — what the experience of viewing the movie is going to be, and how we make that experience as fun as possible.' A joke a minute, with some really memorable visual gags, Splitsville is certainly that. It's a film with no clear comp, which while complicating conversations around marketing, affirms to Covino that he and Marvin hit on something good. In their appearance on our podcast, Covino and Marvin discuss the process of creating indie comedies unlike any you'll find elsewhere — one that was helped along, in this case, by Adam Newport-Berra, the cinematographer on the rise who's coming off his first Emmy nomination for his work on The Studio. The pair also discuss test screenings, the idea of cultivating 'future nostalgia' through the theatrical release, their desire to tackle a Christmas movie, and more. Covino directed Splitsville from his script written with Marvin, with the pair also producing. Neon releases the film in limited theaters on August 22 and will go wide with it on September 5.

28 Years Later's Danny Boyle's Next Movie Is About Rupert Murdoch, Cast Revealed
's next movie has been announced. Boyle recently directed 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to 2022's 28 Days Later and 2007's 28 Weeks Later. That movie is being followed by at least one more movie, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which Boyle is producing and Candyman's Nia DaCosta is directing. There's also a third movie in the new 28 Years Later trilogy that's in development that Boyle plans to direct; however, Boyle said in June 2025 that they were 'still trying to get the money' for that film, per The Hollywood Reporter. Now, per Deadline, plans for Boyle to direct a movie about media mogul Rupert Murdoch have also been unveiled. What do we know about Danny Boyle's Rupert Murdoch movie? Guy Pearce, who was recently nominated for an Oscar for his performance in 2024's The Brutalist, is in talks to play Murdoch in the movie, which is titled Ink. Sinners Jack O'Connell, who also appeared at the end of 28 Years Later, is being eyed to play Larry Lamb, 'who Murdoch hired to run The Sun when he purchased it in 1969.' 'An explosive cinematic rollercoaster about a group of visionaries and misfits who had an idea for a new kind of news – one that would give the people what they want and would change the face of the world we live in today,' Deadline's article further notes about Ink's plot. '…Based on the James Graham play, follows Murdoch's struggling newspaper, The Sun, as he intends to make it a must-read news source and hires Lamb to run the paper. The purchase of the paper would start a long-standing rivalry between The Sun and The Mirror, leading to the rise of the British tabloids as we know them.' The Studiocanal, Media Res, and House Productions movie is being produced by Boyle, Tessa Ross, Michael Ellenberg, and Tracey Seaward, while Tonia Davis serves as an executive producer. Graham wrote the screenplay for the movie, which is expected to begin production this October. A release date for Ink has not yet been announced.
