Avatar: The Way of Water (James Cameron)
James Cameron’s long-awaited sequel finally arrived.

A lot is said during the quiet moments in Gianfranco Rosi’s In Viaggio: The Travels of Pope Francis, when the holy figure takes a pause from giving hopeful or apologetic speeches to stare into the abyss, lost in his own thoughts and prayers. Those are opportunities for Rosi, the documentary film-maker behind Fire at Sea and Notturno, to invite the audience into contemplation and leave room for skepticism and ambivalence.
“The silence for me is more important than the notes itself,” Rosi tells the Guardian over a Zoom call from Manhattan. “My own interpretation as a film-maker is to give space to silence. Sometimes words aren’t even enough.”...
