Along with the Western, the American gangster film is one of the least progressive genres of the modern era in terms of female agency and representation, and as a consequence the representation of la cosa nostra (‘this thing of ours’) in cinema remains steadfastly male. – George S. Larke-Walsh and Stephanie Oliver, Senses of Cinema. More:
Amazon’s “Lord of the Rings” television series will not be able to alter history as Tolkien wrote it, but it will have the freedom to populate history with new characters. – Zack Sharf, IndieWire. More:
