Martin Scorsese‘s admiration for filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger has finally led to a documentary narrated by the auteur.

Sting, Isabella Rossellini, and U.S. director Roger Ross Williams (“The Apollo,” “Stamped from the Beginning”) came out to support the recent New York launch of Matteo Garrone’s Venice prizewinning immigration epic “Io Capitano” at the Museum of Modern Art. The movie – which is Italy’s now shortlisted Oscar candidate for best international feature film – narrates the Homeric journey of two two Senegalese teenagers, Seydou and Moussa, who decide to leave Dakar to reach Europe in pursuit of a better life. It realistically depicts their plight through the pitfalls of the desert, the horrors of detention centers in Libya and the dangers of the sea.

A seemingly simple taxi ride evolves into a profound meditation on the realities of the driver, whose personal life is in shambles, and his fare, an elderly woman whose warmth belies her shocking past.

From the NC-17 ménage à trois of Bernardo Bertolucci’s “The Dreamers” to James Spader having intercourse with Rosanna Arquette’s leg wound in David Cronenberg’s “Crash,” producer Jeremy Thomas loves a controversy onscreen. Cinema raconteur Mark Cousins (the ASMR-inducing voice and mind behind collage documentaries “My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock,” “The Story of Film,” “The Eyes of Orson Welles,” and more) pays homage to the Oscar-winning producer in his 2021 Cannes Classics selection, “The Storms of Jeremy Thomas.” The film follows Cousins on Thomas’ annual pilgrimage to the Cannes Film Festival — literally, the producer drove for decades from England to the fest — and a five-day road movie through France. Together, they remember Thomas’ most acclaimed and provocative films as a producer, from his Oscar-winning “The Last Emperor” to “Crash” and its scandalous opening at the festival in 1996, Nicolas Roeg’s “Bad Timing,” Jerzy Skolimowski’s “EO,” plus Cronenberg’s “Naked Lunch,” Jonathan Glazer’s “Sexy Beast,” and Terry Gilliam’s reviled child abuse fairy tale, “Tideland.”

Described by Variety as a “handsomely mounted period drama,” “Kidnapped” opens in 1858, in the Jewish quarter of Bologna, where the Pope’s soldiers burst into the home of the Mortara family. By order of the cardinal, they have come to take Edgardo, their seven-year-old son.

In BPM (Beats Per Minute), Robin Campillo found in Nahuel Pérez Biscayart a face and voice to communicate the by turns ecstatic and wrenching role of being an activist for ACT UP Paris during the early 1990s. Now, in House of Sand and Fog director Vadim Perelman’s latest, Persian Lessons, the Argentine actor, who exudes an unwavering and mournful certainty whenever he’s on screen, has found another project worthy of his talent. Persian Lessons concerns a young Belgian Jew named Gilles (Biscayart) who’s arrested in occupied France in 1942 by SS soldiers. On the way to a concentration camp in Germany, he avoids execution by swearing that he’s Persian. Subsequently, he’s tasked with teaching Farsi to the head of Camp Koch, Klaus Koch (Lars Eidinger), who dreams of opening a restaurant in Iran after the war. What results is an intense game for survival, as Gilles pretends to know Farsi, inventing words that he then teaches to Koch. And while fighting to maintain his secret, he also copes with the guilt of enjoying privileges that aren’t shared by his fellow prisoners.

Russia invaded Ukraine nearly 14 months ago, and the bloody conflict it ignited shows no signs of ending any time soon. Bernard-Henri Levy, a French filmmaker and public intellectual, spent much of last year documenting the horrors of the Ukraine war for an upcoming film, from the early days of Russia's invasion in late February to Ukraine's liberation of massive chunks of territory during the final weeks of the year that's now ground into a war of attrition on mostly static front lines. Levy, 74, filmed on battlefields across the country — from Kharkiv in the northeast, Kherson in the south, and the capital city Kyiv. He captured the struggle of Ukrainian civilians under relentless attacks, embedded with Ukrainian special forces units, and even witnessed fighting in the war-torn city of Bakhmut — which is the longest and deadliest battle of the war so far. Levy's documentary, "Slava Ukraini," (which translates to "Glory to Ukraine") will premiere in select theaters on May 3 and on digital platforms across the country on May 5. Insider obtained an exclusive copy of the film's newest trailer, which features scenes from aboard navy ships and interviews with soldiers.

Faced with a painful decision, Emmanuèle, with the grudging support of her younger sister Pascale (Géraldine Pailhas), begins sorting through the processes and bureaucratic hurdles necessary to fulfill her father’s final wish, as she is forced to reconcile her past with a complicated, stubborn, yet charismatic man.
