It’s fitting that Paul Thomas Anderson’s 10th film, One Battle After Another, serves, if not as an endpoint, then as an evolution of his impressive decades of work. That his vision delivers is hardly surprising. What is remarkable is the extent to which it exceeds even the high expectations that accompany his work, reminding us that great cinema is willed into existence at the intersection of vision, scale, and a contemporary urgency that allows Anderson to reexamine his ongoing thesis on 21st-century America -- its power, ambition, and enduring folly.

Hollywood has never been a stranger to corporate upheaval. Studios have merged, collapsed, and reemerged under new ownership since their inception.

If the consolation prize is that a new Harry Potter television series finds a home on Paramount+, that may qualify as a victory for a shareholder, but we are all the worse off for it.

Ra'anana in central Israel is my home today. It wasn't always. I hail from the Strand, a beautiful False Bay town that is part of the area described as the “Fairest Cape”, bracketed by the majestic Hottentots-Holland mountains, Somerset West, and the turquoise blue of the Atlantic Ocean. Today, this town is making news and it involves my family. Of this I am proud, proud of the past and proud of how we are forging a favourable future.
