In the wake of George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police, more than 700 actors, recording artists and entertainment and music industry organizations and their supporters have signed a letter urging swift passage of the Justice in Policing Act. The bill pending in the House of Representatives would ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants, limit military-style equipment on American streets and make lynching a federal crime.
The legislation would also make it easier to prosecute police misconduct and enable individuals to recover damages in civil court by eliminating qualified immunity for law enforcement officers who use excessive force. See the letter and its full list of signatories and supporters below.
Signers of the letter, which has been sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, include SAG-AFTRA, the Motion Picture Association, the Recording Industry Association of America, the Songwriters Guild of America and the Association of Independent Music Publishers,...

This biopic of Romany poet Bronislawa Wajs features a little too much landscape and not enough life
If you like artfully crafted old-school black-and-white cinematography, of the sort that distinguished Pawel Pawlikowski’s Ida, you may well be enraptured by Polish film Papusza. It’s fabulously shot by Krzysztof Ptak, with any number of gorgeous landscape tableaux; I could have stared and stared at the opening shot alone. But visuals apart, this biopic is frustratingly slack. It’s the story of poet Bronislawa Wajs – Aka Papusza, meaning “doll” – who became a celebrated figure in Poland while living a life of exclusion. Early on, we see her released from imprisonment for stealing a chicken and rushed to a concert hall to attend an oratorio based on her verse.
The film skips non-chronologically through her life, including episodes from childhood, days on the road as a young woman and a frustratingly cursory...

The narrative feels like an overstuffed quilt, but this selection of moments from the life of Bronislawa Wajs is gorgeous to behold
Strikingly beautiful, but curiously aloof from its earthy subject matter, this portrait of a little-known Polish-Roma poet feels like the kind of film that would be more at home at a festival than in the release schedule. A patchwork of moments from the life of Bronislawa Wajs (Jowita Budnik), known as Papusza (or Doll), the film is always striking – the black and white cinematography is gorgeous (self-consciously so, at times) – but you wonder whether this overstuffed quilt of a story might have worked better with a leaner, more direct approach. As it is, the film is a bit of a slog and bizarrely, given the subject matter, rather lacking in poetry. It comes to life as a portrait of the Roma community of which Papusza was both part and,...
