Sasha Polak’s Silver Haze scooped the top prize at this month’s Dinard Film Festival, the French seaside festival that spotlights UK and Irish cinema for French audiences, that ran from September 27 to October 1.
Berlinale Panorama title Silver Haze won the Golden Hitchcock for best film. Polak’s feature reunites the Dutch filmmaker with UK actor Vicky Knight, after working together on Dirty God in 2019. It is loosely based on Knight’s own experience as a child, in which she survived an arson attack.

Christopher Nolan is an incredibly technical filmmaker. He tends to make sci-fi movies, but often with heady time-travel concepts that take a long time to explain. Even his historical epic "Dunkirk" takes place over three separate time frames, with one plotline covering the span of one week, one covering the span of one day, and one covering the span of one hour. In "Inception," characters use a sci-fi device to insert their disembodied consciousnesses into the dreams of others. Inside dreams, however, time moves differently, and one can travel for hours while asleep before waking up only minutes later. "Interstellar" has multiple time-shifting conceits, and don't get me started on the baffling time-reversed physics of "Tenet."
In order to pull off such towering pieces of conceptual architecture, Nolan must possess a very technical, engineering-forward mind. His sense of structure is impeccable, and some would say to the detriment of his characters.

Speaking to fellow actor Jodie Turner-Smith for Elle magazine’s style awards, Florence Pugh railed against the backlash she often gets for exposing skin either in movies or on the red carpet. It was over one year ago when Pugh seemed to break the internet by wearing a see-through dress at a Valentino couture show in Rome, which ignited online conversation about her body. The Oscar nominee took to Instagram at the time to condemn “vulgar” trolls who were who sought to “totally destroy a woman’s body.”
“I speak the way I do about my body because I’m not trying to hide the cellulite on my thigh or the squidge in between my arm and my boob: I would much rather lay it all out,” Pugh now told Turner Smith. “I think the scariest thing for me are the instances where people have been upset that I’ve shown ‘too much’ of myself.

Florence Pugh is an actor who never seems to shy away from a challenge, but it took tenacity to survive career-related trauma while she was just getting her start. When the young actor was first hoping for her big break at the age of 19, she got cast as the lead on a TV pilot for a Fox show called "Studio City," but the role would break her heart instead.
In "Studio City," Pugh was cast in the role of a rising young pop star, a role that felt perfect for Pugh because she sang and wrote songs for her YouTube channel under the name Flossie Rose. Unfortunately, she was soon under pressure from multiple directions to change her appearance, including her weight. The number of comments and intensity of them were enough to shake the actor, and things became even more painful when "Studio City" wasn't picked up, sending the...

Five years before her breakout role in the ultimate breakup movie, Ari Aster's "Midsommar," Florence Pugh made her feature-film debut in an indie British drama called "The Falling," written and directed by Carol Morley. At the time, Pugh's costar, Maisie Williams, was much more famous for her role as Arya Stark on HBO's "Game of Thrones." In "The Falling," Pugh and Williams play Abbie and Lydia, two best friends at a girls' school of the strict, "sit down, stand up" variety. Judging from the way the trailer positions its young stars with the words "starring Maisie Williams and introducing Florence Pugh," someone at BBC Films seems to have recognized that they had a significant new talent on their hands with Pugh.
Casting agents apparently felt the same way. A 2023 cover story in Vogue revealed that Pugh was just 16 when she tried out for "The Falling" in an open audition,...

Florence Pugh has starred in some of the biggest movies of the last few years, from action blockbusters to historical dramas. She’s one of Hollywood’s hottest young stars, but just how much is the British actor worth?
Florence Pugh | Emma McIntyre/Getty Images Florence Pugh started acting when she was in school and scored breakout roles ‘Midsommar’ and ‘Little Women’
Pugh was born in the UK in 1996. She suffered from tracheomalacia, a condition where cartilage blocks the airway, as a child, which led to frequent hospitalizations. Finally, her family decided to move to Spain, hoping the warmer climate would improve her health. They moved back to England when Pugh was six years old.

Florence Pugh is one of the hottest young actors right now, earning commercial and critical acclaim for her work in Hollywood. However, she has plenty of other talents, including one very strange one.
Florence Pugh is a talented singer and even featured on a single with her brother, Toby Sebastian
Pugh is a talented actor, even earning an Oscar nomination for her role in Little Women. Her career almost took a very different turn, though. Pugh is an excellent singer and, before she became famous, would film videos of herself performing and post them on YouTube.
While she hasn’t decided to actively pursue a singing career yet, Pugh’s vocals have featured on a single. Her brother, known professionally as Toby Sebastian, released a song in 2021 called “Midnight,” with Pugh named as a featured artist.
“My mum asked ‘have you played her the song? Don’t you fancy some backing vocals from your sister?...

The breakthrough film for Carol Morley as she began making forays into fiction, The Falling has that quality of boldness and perversity which has come to typify her work, yet since its original release in 2014 it has struggled to find an audience. Nine years on, Shudder has come to the rescue, offering it a new lease on life, and one hopes that it will now get the attention it deserves.
It is, admittedly, a difficult film, and a film about difficult women. On a simple reading it might appear trite, too tidily explained, but one can’t really assume that everything is resolved at the end, or that the characters understand themselves as well as they might seem to. Morley’s work is full of unpredictable, confused characters – that is, characters who feel more fully human than an hour and 40 minutes or so of narrative fully makes room for. She.

Pugh, who was in a relationship with Braff for almost three years until they split up earlier this year, stars in the film as a once-thriving woman, Allison, who is involved in a tragedy that kills her fiancé’s sister.

Sharing the trailer on Instagram, Pugh wrote: “Here she is. First trailer to A Good Person is Finally Here.

Florence Pugh revealed in a recent interview with The Telegraph that she thought becoming an actor was a “massive mistake” after she was body shamed by studio executives at age 19. The Oscar nominee was coming off her feature film debut in the 2014 psychological drama “The Falling” when she landed a lead role in the Fox sitcom “Studio City.” Pugh, 19 years old at the time, was set to star as a pop star on the rise opposite Eric McCormack as her songwriting father who moonlights as a celebrity drug dealer.
“I felt very lucky and grateful, and couldn’t believe that I had got this top-of-the-game job,” Pugh said about landing the “Studio City” role.
Pugh added that the studio executives who hired her for “Studio City” began to body shame her as soon as she got selected for the role. The execs allegedly requested Pugh change things about her physical appearance.

It’s a wonder that Florence Pugh even returned to Hollywood after a bad experience on a botched Fox sitcom.
“The Wonder” actress Pugh was cast in the pilot for Fox’s “Studio City” dramedy in 2015 when she was 19. Directed by Sanaa Hamri and written by Krista Vernoff, the semi-autobiographical series centered on a singer (Pugh) who discovers her songwriter father (Eric McCormack) is a celebrity drug dealer. Heather Graham also starred as Pugh’s former stepmother.
“I felt very lucky and grateful, and couldn’t believe that I had got this top-of-the-game job,” Pugh recently recalled to The Telegraph, citing that she assumed her Los Angeles TV series experience would be similar to that of U.K. psychological drama “The Falling,” on which she made her onscreen debut in 2013.

“Pugh has never turned in a bad performance, bringing emotion, texture, and richness to everything from ‘Lady Macbeth’ to ‘Little Women’ and ‘Midsommar,'” writes IndieWire’s Kate Erbland in her review of “Don’t Worry Darling”: the psychological thriller-turned-pr disaster that’s dominated Hollywood rubbernecking in summer 2022.
“She excels at turning her characters — all women on the verge — into fully realized people, unafraid to tap into their worst impulses alongside their most admirable ones.”
In director Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling,” Pugh plays mid-century housewife Alice Chambers in what many critics have dismissed as a run-of-the-mill suburban dystopia drama.
The film’s premiere this weekend closes out weeks of tabloid drama But for Pugh, whose performance has nevertheless been widely praised, it’s the latest in a string of unabashed big screen wins.

From 14 to BAFTA nominee, the past decade has been quite the ride for Florence Pugh. The 24-year-old actress closed out the final year of the decade in a way only a select few can say—as a star of Greta Gerwig's Little Women. Having been in one of the most anticipated films of the year, Pugh's profile has naturally reached new heights with more award nominations and a newly published Vogue cover. But, her story is not that of an overnight success. Instead, her acting career began six years ago when she co-starred with Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams in the 2014 mystery drama, The Falling. At the time of its release, she was an 18-year-old newcomer,...

There will always be a handful of safe bets over the course of one year at the movies — of course Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are stellar in a Quentin Tarantino film, who wouldn’t cast Laura Dern in every possible iteration a family drama, what a no-brainer to gift Eddie Murphy a role like Rudy Ray Moore, the list goes on and on — but it’s often the unknown quantities, the casting against type, and the fresh faces that turn in the best performances.
This year has been no exception, kitted out with an array of breakthrough performances from a wide variety of talents. There are the first-timers owning their big starring role, the reliable performers tearing into something new, and an generation of rising stars making their mark in parts seemingly made for them.

Exclusive: Paramount Pictures has picked up Blessed Event, a spec script by Jeremy Lott based on a true WWII story. The pic is set at Temple Hill, which inked a multi-year first-look film deal with the studio earlier this year. Temple Hill’s Marty Bowen, Issac Klausner, and John Fischer will produce the project with Adam Goldworm serving as executive producer.
Set in the South Pacific during WWII, the film is about the American crew of a B-24 Liberator Bomber who pilots their wounded plane through a gauntlet of enemy fighters and anti-aircraft guns to complete an improbable but critical mission behind enemy lines.
Lott was initially inspired by a local news interview with the bomber’s tail gunner who was finally getting his medals after more than 70 years. This led to his five-year research stint where he tracked down and met with the tail gunner and family members of the rest of the crew,...

Unless you know Florence Pugh by name it’s likely that you’d have to think of where you’ve seen her recently to know who she is. To be honest she’s been tearing it up in a good way when it comes to her career since she’s managed to star in some fairly big features, a couple that have been bigger than others considering that they’ve helped to elevate her career in a big way.

Actor Florence Pugh was born in 1996 and raised in Oxfordshire and southern Spain. Part of an arty family – her mother is a dancer and her three siblings are actors – she got her screen break in 2014 playing opposite Maisie Williams in coming-of-age drama The Falling. She followed it two years later with a Bifa award-winning lead performance in Lady Macbeth. Last year, she played an actor turned spy in the BBC adaptation of John le Carré’s The Little Drummer Girl, and is now the lead in Ari Aster’s folk-horror movie Midsommar, in cinemas from Friday.

Rising British actress Florence Pugh (“Lady Macbeth”) and French actor Francois Civil (“Wolf’s Call”) received the Chopard Trophy Award at a star-studded ceremony hosted by Chopard on Monday during the Cannes Film Festival.
Pugh and Civil were chosen among many actors by a jury consisting of former Chopard Trophy recipients such as Marion Cotillard, Gael García Bernal and Lea Seydoux, Cannes’s director Thierry Fremaux, Variety’s Steven Gaydos, and Chopard’s Caroline Scheufele.
Both actors are at a turning point in their careers. Pugh will soon be seen in two highly anticipated films, Ari Aster’s “Midsommar” and Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women” remake, in which she’s star opposite Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, and Timothée Chalamet. She’s also just joined Scarlett Johansson in the cast of the Marvel Studios’ movie “Black Widow,” which will be directed by Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland.

Patricia Clarkson’s homicide cop is the enigma in the director’s inspired reworking of a Martin Amis crime novel
Is there any voice in modern British cinema more singular or distinctive than that of Carol Morley? From the confessional revelations of The Alcohol Years, through the heart-breaking docudrama of Dreams of a Life, to the spine-tingling swoon of The Falling, Morley has proved herself an unflinchingly adventurous film-maker – what Werner Herzog would call “a good soldier for cinema”. In her latest film, her most ambitious to date, she takes a neo-noir murder mystery and turns it into a quasi-metaphysical rumination upon life, the universe and everything. It’s a feat she undertakes with the gusto of one who is unafraid to fall, conjuring a trail of iridescent movie magic as she sets her sights on the stars.

Carol Morely’s fourth feature Out Of Blue stars Patricia Clarkson as a troubled detective on the pursuit of a suspected serial killer. Adapted from Martin Amis’s 1997 novel Night Train and with a screenplay courtesy of director herself, the film has aspirations of being a smart hardboiled neo-noir with a cosmic twist, but in reality it is a decidedly muddled, jarringly directionless and an altogether baffling offering from a filmmaker who, it has to be said, is capable of far more coherent output.
When famous astrophysicist Jennifer Rockwell (Mamie Gummer) is found dead at the observatory of her New Orleans university, detective Mike Hoolihan (Clarkson) is compelled by an unknown force that appears to bind her with the dead woman to pursue the case and find her killer. With Jennifer’s boyfriend Duncan (Jonathan Majors) and slippery colleague Prof Ian Strammi (Toby Jones) as prime murder suspects, the detective...

From the squared circle to the McU, Florence Pugh is headed for a Black Widow encounter
After an amazing performance as WWE Superstar Paige, it now seems that Florence Pugh is heading from the squared circle to the McU. Pugh has been cast as the lead opposite Scarlett Johnasson in the upcoming Black Widow film.
The details on her exact role are being kept under wraps for now but it is known that she will be playing a spy on the same skill level as Natasha Romanoff (Johansson), but won't share her moral compass.
Pugh had been at the top of Marvel's list since her audition in December, but they still decided to open up their casting search and had been meeting with several actresses which included Academy Award-nominee Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird) and Academy Award winner Emma Watson (Harry Potter). However, it appears Pugh beat out both for the part.

The Golden Globe-winning star of HBO hit Sharp Objects on defying convention, her new film, Out of Blue, and why the industry’s future looks bright
Patricia Clarkson tells me that she’s feeling rather more famous than she used to, which makes sense. A gifted character actress, able to encapsulate patrician poise, suburban angst, bohemian disarray, uptight alpha, and everything in between, Clarkson, 59, has enjoyed a long award-studded career, encompassing film, theatre and television. So extensive is her body of work that it almost amounts to: which Patricia Clarkson do you want? The brittle, drug-addicted lesbian in High Art, the unravelling, gutsy bohemian in Six Feet Under, the cancer-ravaged mother in Pieces of April, the acidic cosmopolitan in The Party? … The list sprawls on. Clarkson has had leading roles, but even when supporting, she tends to stand out.

The writer-director’s story of a British female wrestler striving to make it big in the Us winningly balances oddball humour with affection for the antics of the WWE
“These are big movies,” insists Michael Lerner’s studio boss in the Coen brothers’ 1991 hit Barton Fink, “about big men – in tights, both physically and mentally!” He’s trying to explain to John Turturro’s angsty writer the inherent parameters of a wrestling movie, insisting: “We don’t put Wally Beery in a fruity movie about suffering.” Yet just as William Faulkner reportedly did uncredited rewrites on Beery’s 1932 picture Flesh, so writer-director Stephen Merchant here manages to subvert the genre and inject some of “that Barton Fink feeling” into this uplifting romp. Inspired by Max Fisher’s similarly titled Channel 4 documentary about a Norwich wrestling clan, Fighting With My Family is a hugely likable underdog tale, packing plenty of crowd-pleasing comedy wallop,...

The must-see movies that have defined a century of European cinema, as chosen by the Observer’s film writers
Back in 2017, I was asked to contribute a short piece about British cinema to a book entitled Goodbye Europe. The book was a collection of essays, inspired by the recent referendum, offering a series of different perspectives on the thorny subject of the UK’s relationship to Europe, and “what the idea of Europe means to Britons and others living here”. In my essay I argued that, to all intents and purposes, there was no such thing as a “British film” per se – in an age of increasingly international co-production, national boundaries are no longer a defining feature of cinema. Moreover, if you read any interview with a film-maker at the cutting edge of UK cinema, the chances are they will refer to themselves and their work as “European”.

Damon Gough, better known as musician Badly Drawn Boy, will appear as himself in the picture.
The film centers on music-obsessed Kat Malone (Hunt), whose dreams of becoming a high flying band manager lead her to persuade a struggling pop group to take a chance on her. But she does not tell them that, in reality, she’s only 17. Poynter plays the bassist in the band.
E.E. Hegarty is directing. Rebecca Long, whose credits include Maisie William and Florence Pugh film “The Falling,” is producing for female-driven production house Boudica. Stella Nwimo and Ian Davies also produce. Ian Maiden (“Swallows and Amazons”) is the executive producer.
