Duskfade feels assembled from a shelf of early-2000s favorites, yet Weird Beluga understands that imitation alone cannot carry a platformer. The familiar pieces are everywhere: Zirian has the spiky silhouette and oversized clothes of a forgotten action-RPG protagonist, his Minutero sword invites immediate comparisons with Kingdom Hearts, and the mixture of jumping, combat, collectibles, gadgets, and eccentric companionship recalls the era of Jak and Daxter and Ratchet & Clank. What saves the game from becoming an exercise in borrowed affection is movement. Once Zirian begins crossing shattered spaces rather than simply walking through them, Duskfade finds a rhythm of its...

Florin Șerban wastes little time establishing the social order of Reșița. Mahler’s Third Symphony plays over calm views of the Romanian city before masked teenagers on bicycles sweep through Roma neighborhoods, covering cars with “You Don’t Belong Here” stickers and smashing property with baseball bats. An elderly Roma man who confronts them is beaten to death. The violence soon reaches Dr. Marius Călimănescu, played by Adrian Văncică, from two directions. Roma relatives arrive at the hospital morgue demanding the victim’s body, while Marius’s teenage son Ioan quietly visits his school nurse with severe bruising he claims came from a bicycle...

The most unsettling choice in These Violent Delights is its refusal to give Romeo and Juliet somewhere private to exist. Scottish Ballet and Forest of Black compress Shakespeare’s tragedy into roughly 70 minutes, yet the sensation is less one of speed than suffocation. Christopher Hampson and Oscar Sansom direct the production as a fever dream caught between ballet and cinema, where bodies are rarely permitted to rest and affection is forever being watched, interrupted or physically redirected. Kayla-Maree Tarantolo’s Juliet becomes the axis of that nightmare. She wakes among red sheets and scattered petals before strange limbs pull her back...

Moria Casán declaring herself the “puppet master” of her own life gives Moria both its governing principle and its most revealing limitation. Netflix’s eight-episode biography allows the Argentine star to narrate the construction of her own legend, beginning with Ana María Casanova in late-1960s Buenos Aires and carrying her through revue theatre, television, celebrity scandal and her 80th birthday celebration. Director Javier Van de Couter responds by treating biography as performance. The real Casán comments from outside the dramatized timeline, while Sofía Gala Castiglione, Griselda Siciliani and Cecilia Roth portray her across different periods. Reality, memory and deliberate self-mythologizing continually...

Stephen Chow once made impossible football feel strangely tangible. In Shaolin Soccer, a player could launch a ball like artillery and the joke still depended on bodies, timing, impact, and people you wanted to see succeed. Kung Fu Soccer returns to that basic fantasy with Team Emei, a women’s martial arts squad entering the 16-team Supreme and Invincible Cup, yet the sensation has changed. The kicks are bigger. The effects are louder. The excitement is thinner. Chow’s first feature since The New King of Comedy also continues his habit of revisiting earlier work through female protagonists. Here, Zhang Xiaofei plays...

The most revealing choice in REANIMAL: The Prisoner is giving its two children names that sound like jobs assigned by adults. One is the Prisoner. The other is the Soldier. Neither appears to have had much say in the matter. Tarsier Studios returns to the ruined city from REANIMAL for the first chapter of its three-part Expanded World DLC, placing these new protagonists inside the same war that scarred the original game. The connection is deliberate. Returning players will recognize locations, enemies, and one familiar survivor, yet the perspective has shifted. The first game showed children moving through a monstrous...
