What’s the biggest TV event happening on March 12? Some might say the Oscars ceremony, while others might point to the season finale of “The Last of Us”. But Fox is giving both a run for their money with their newest episode of “Family Guy,” which will see the raunchy animated program stage a three-way crossover with its Fox channel brethren “The Simpsons” and “Bob’s Burgers”
“Family Guy” previously crossed over with “The Simpsons” in 2014 during the show’s Season 13 premiere “The Simpsons Guy,” but this is the first time that the two series’ younger Fox sibling “Bob’s Burgers” is getting added to the mix. However, unlike “The Simpsons Guy” — an extra-long 44-minute extravaganza for the two rival shows — the upcoming episode (titled “Adoption”) doesn’t appear to focus on the interplay between the three shows, instead featuring characters from “The Simpsons” and “Bob’s Burgers” in a scene released by...

There has been an outpouring of love for Kelly Reichardt as of late, with the “Showing Up” helmer awarded a Carrosse d’Or at Cannes – only the fourth woman to be honored this way – and now a Pardo d’Onore Manor at Locarno.
But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the U.S. director, described by the Swiss festival as a “committed, political and independent auteur.”
“Things have gotten easier over time,” Reichardt tells Variety ahead of the event, looking back on her 28-year career.
“I have done a lot of work in the last two decades and I work in a similar kind of mode and budget size. People are familiar with my producers and know them to be very reliable people. I’m not having to prove myself at every outing.”
Since her 1994 debut, “River of Grass,” Reichardt has been celebrated for intimate, simple stories. A...

Women face a complex and compounded pressure of perfection when it comes not just to initial reception of their artistic achievements, but also their legacy. Trailblazers are especially eclipsed by an achievement meant to be representative of a whole entire gender, race or culture, relegated to being a foot note or stepping stone for the proliferation of more disparate successes among later generations. One such example is the formidable Hungarian auteur Márta Mészáros, whose oeuvre is deserving of a recuperation.
Besides her celebrated triptych of Diary films in the 1980s, she’s best known as the first woman (and Hungarian) to win the Golden Bear at the 1975 Berlin International Film Festival for her quietly moving Adoption, a distinction resurrected in 2017 when fellow countrywoman Ildiko Enyedi took home the same prize for On Body and Soul.…...

The bar’s so low it doesn’t exactly speak volumes when I say now—of all times, for some reason—is a banner moment for spotlighting Hungarian cinema. As Kino’s fantastic Miklós Jancsó retrospective starts this weekend, Janus has unveiled the trailer for their no-less-fantastic series on Márta Mészáros, a director whose name has perhaps never come up in my years occupying cinephile circles. If film history is a narrow, unforgiving thing, so often at mercy of what’s readily available in acceptable condition, this goes beyond restoration—it constitutes something more like rescue.
And so just the trailer for this series, which runs at Film at Lincoln Center from January 21 to January 26, is a revelation: none of this sparks familiarity, even Isabelle Huppert—star of Mészáros’s The Heiresses—constituting a surprise. In conjunction with Adoption arriving on Criterion in March and an inevitable release of more restorations,...

Pioneering Hungarian filmmaker Marta Meszaros will receive this year’s lifetime achievement award from the European Film Academy.
Meszaros’ debut, The Girl (1968), was the first feature film from Hungary directed by a woman. In her long career, Meszaros has largely focused on the lives of women, often drawing from the experiences of her own family.
Meszaros celebrated her international breakthrough in 1975 with Adoption, an intimate portrait of the bond between a lonely middle-aged woman and a 17-year-old girl, which won the Golden Bear for best film at the Berlin Film Festival, the first time a female director had taken the top ...
