Film Movement Releases New Clip From Upcoming Body Horror Thriller ‘Animale' (EXCLUSIVE)
GVN has been provided with an exclusive clip from the new film ahead of its debut which you can find below:
Synopsis: In the Camargue region of the South of France, there remains an infamous, long-standing tradition of bullfighting. Local youths participate in the elegant yet dangerous challenge, practicing a modernized version of the sport that seeks not to kill the animals but rather to showcase agility and dominance. Among them is Nejma, an intrepid 22 year-old with dreams of one day winning the annual competition. The only woman working on the cattle ranch, she trains tirelessly to prove herself equal among the men, both in and outside of the arena. The ranchers share a deep respect for the bulls, though when a loose bull threatens the community of riders and young men begin turning up dead, a hunt to find and kill the creature begins. Nejma fears for the bull, beginning a dark, mysterious transformation of her own.

Maryam Nassir Zadeh Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Maryam Nassir Zadeh's fall collection is a reminder that how you wear your clothes is as important as what you put on. This season's lookbook, photographed in a Parisian apartment, is a kind of masterclass in defying convention and exciting the eye. See how cinching a belt inches above the waistline creates an unexpected proportion? Or how tights paired with lucite wedges are so wrong they're right? Nassir Zadeh makes little distinction between men and women; both genders tuck their pants into their boots and both are photographed in a delicious bubblegum-pink leather blouson jacket. In one photo a male model ties a cummerbund-shaped bi-color belt over a pair of luxuriously pleated pants; it's unexpected and effective in zhuzhing up a basic outfit. In Nassir Zadeh's world, spontaneity is encouraged and non-clothes become wearable—that suede fringe that's worn as a skirt is just a narrow band that you can wind around a neck, a wrist, or on top of another garment. One of the foundation pieces of this collection is a bustier top, à la '70s Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. There's one in orange embellished with shell discs that look like Necco wafers. By creating an off-the-shoulder neckline and accessorizing with animal-print boots, a tiered dress goes beyond boho. 'I think for fall there's a vibrancy and an element of uplifting celebration and illuminating something,' said Nassir Zadeh, who explained that the season was in many ways an homage to her beloved grandmother. The designer was actually bringing together memories from her life with her nana, and revisiting her own repertoire. 'The mix is so interesting and yet familiar,' she said. Also a bit off, to great effect. There are a lot of patterned silks of the kind Princess Diana favored in the '80s. These are used for ruffle hemmed skirts and a Juliet-sleeved top. The composition of some of the photos vaguely recall Sheila Metzner's work from that era too—but the MNZ magic is to elude categorization, all the better to let the spirit run free.

‘An Officer and a Spy' Review: The Dreyfus Affair as an Allegory
In France, Roman Polanski's 'An Officer and a Spy' was released in 2019 as 'J'Accuse …!' — I accuse. On its face, the movie is an account of the Dreyfus Affair, in which a Jewish-French army captain named Alfred Dreyfus was wrongly convicted of passing military secrets to the Germans in the late 19th century. The movie shared its original title with Émile Zola's published defense of Dreyfus, which changed both public opinion and history. The accused in Zola's denunciation is unmistakable. Yet who is the movie — and Polanski — accusing, and of what? Now, six years after its French run, 'An Officer and a Spy' is opening in New York at the Film Forum. It's the first new Polanski movie to play in this country since the 2014 release of 'Venus in Fur.' In the years since, Polanski — who fled the United States in 1978 after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a minor — became effectively persona non grata here. Film Forum has posted a programming note to its website that refers to the assault, and also states that the movie is 'a well-crafted, dramatic depiction of the Dreyfus Affair' and 'an important contribution to cinema's crucial role in historical storytelling.' 'An Officer and a Spy' is well-crafted; Polanski's movies generally are. Its contribution to cinema's role in historical storytelling, though, seems largely as an allegory about Polanski. The movie opens with cinematic sweep, with Dreyfus (a de-glammed Louis Garrel) being ostentatiously stripped of his miliary rank in a degradation ceremony. It's 1895 and the setting is a vast, austere courtyard of the École Militaire, which was founded by Louis XV. Soldiers and bystanders are in attendance; in the near distance, the recently built Eiffel Tower pierces the gray sky. The tower was built to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution, whose universalist principles — liberté, égalité, fraternité — were extended to all French Jews in 1791, granting them full citizenship. Questions of identity, patrimony and antisemitism are among the issues swirling through 'An Officer and a Spy.' After Dreyfus's degradation ceremony, he is separated from his family and imprisoned on Devil's Island, a penal colony in French Guiana where he is the lone inmate and ordered not to speak to the guards. With each affront, Dreyfus is progressively isolated from France, a point Polanski underscores with a stunning series of long shots of Devil's Island that show it at a greater distance until it disappears from view, like its prisoner. It's a denigration that, at least symbolically, evokes the Nazis' methodical dehumanizing actions toward Jews in 'The Pianist,' Polanski's towering 2002 film about the Holocaust.
