Paul Greengrass has made medieval England feel less like distant history than a political system caught during live failure. The Black Death has already hollowed out villages, war with France keeps draining the kingdom, and the people expected to absorb the cost are those with the least left to give. The logic is familiar enough to require no translation. Andrew Garfield’s Ploughman lives beside three graves, one large and two small, marking the family he lost to plague. He works the land compulsively and defines himself with the plain statement, “I am what I do.” Greengrass does not need a...

“Tha’r” is the word Fauda Season 5 chooses to place before almost everything else. It means blood revenge, and the season immediately gives that idea a face through Salem, grieving over the grave of his son Yusuf after the October 7 attacks. By the time Salem learns that the Hamas operative he holds responsible has resurfaced in Marseille, revenge has already stopped being an abstract theme. It has become a destination. That choice gives this fifth season a markedly personal starting point. Salem approaches Eli Aharon, whose wife and children were also killed, with information that Iyad Dahdouh is living...

Erika has spent so many years making herself useful that freedom arrives looking suspiciously like unemployment. When she and Mauro drop their daughter Irene at university, Mauro immediately starts asking questions about roommates and where they come from. Erika disappears into the dorm kitchen and begins inspecting the pans. Irene is mortified. Erika barely seems to notice. Anna Foglietta builds her feature directing debut around that gesture. Erika, played by Alba Rohrwacher, works as a supermarket cashier, cooks for her family, keeps the house running, and delivers groceries to her widowed mother Altea. Mauro, played by Guido Caprino, works in...

Bus Simulator 27 gives you control over doors, ramps, climate systems, tickets, indicators, routes, employees, company branding, and passenger behavior. The problem is that several of those systems cannot reliably agree on what the player actually did. Simteract, previously responsible for Taxi Life and Train Life, takes over a series long associated with Stillalive Studios and expands its management ambitions considerably. You arrive in Felicia Bay, a fictional Mediterranean region inspired by Spain and Portugal, with the task of rebuilding its public transport network. From there, you buy buses, recruit drivers, create routes, assign vehicles, and occasionally leave the driver's...

Florian Zeller has built a film in which everybody keeps confusing protection with control. Miguel, an award-winning Spanish architect living in London, receives an offer that should flatter every professional instinct he has: a tech billionaire wants him to design a vast survival bunker on a private Hawaiian island. Unlimited resources. Enormous fee. Thirty people underground for a year while civilization burns upstairs. His wife Sofia hears the proposal differently. What kind of future requires locking everyone else out? That question gives Bunker its sharpest tension. Javier Bardem plays Miguel as a man who initially treats the project like an...

Ros Knight does not enter the intelligence world with the confidence of someone born for fieldwork. Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott plays her as a scientist pushed into danger because her knowledge of CN9, a man-made biological agent capable of killing from inside the body, suddenly makes her indispensable. That vulnerability gives Knightfall its strongest source of tension. Ben Fortune’s film keeps its espionage story small. An operation involving the stolen weapon goes wrong, Ros becomes a target, and survival sends her toward two men representing different parts of her life: Hugh, her MI5 boyfriend, and Charles, her estranged father and retired...
