DN-tips: Best TV series and movies to stream right now
« The studio »
Apple TV+, 26/3. Series creator: Alex Gregory. With: Seth Rogen, Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Bryan Cranston, Martin Scorsese and 10 episodes x 30 min.
« So far the most fun comedy series so far, » DN’s Helena Lindblad wrote about « The Studio ». Agree! Seth Rogen is perfect as the uncertain studio manager in this both hysterically screwed up and boundless navel -gazing Hollywoodsatir. Bed for a maximum secondary comb and uncomfortable Larry David situations when Rogen’s film-loving nerd tries to balance art and commerce-all to appease his unpredictable über manager (played by « Breaking Bad » star Bryan Cranston). As a cream on the dream factory mash, the series offers a pearl band of Cameoroller where film profiles such as Martin Scorsese, Sara Polley, Zoë Kravitz and Ron Howard play themselves with bravur.

« Emilia Pérez »
SF Anytime, and others. Directed by: Jacques Audiard. With: Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Selina Gomez, Adriana Paz, Edgar Ramírez and others. 2 hours and 10 min.
Movies that combine drug bosses and gender -affirming intimate surgery are not directly staple. The original Fransos Jacques Audiard has not saved on the gun in this sea -lord mix of melodram and musical where Karla Sofía Gascón plays a Mexican cartel king who becomes the woman she always dreamed of being. Although Gascón’s old Twitter messages rushed the Oscar Chases, « Emilia Pérez » remains one of last year’s most memorable experiences.

« Under the sidewalk. The beach »
SF Anytime and others. Director: Henrik Hellström. With: Torsten Rönnerstrand, Björn Rönnerstrand, Ulf Rönnerstrand. 1 hour and 16 min.
Henrik Hellström follows up peculiar « one thinks » with a surreal, poetic and civilization -critical film about breaking away from the digital forced sweater. The film depicts an aged academic and his sons in a final « late capitalist autumn adventure », where they stag existential role play. The result is a « playful film that is freer than the wind over Halland’s most beautiful beach », which DN’s Helena Lindblad wrote in her positive review.

« The man without face » (1976)
SVT Play, 28/3. Director: Nicolas Roeg. With: David Bowie, Candy Clark, Rip Torn, etc. 2 hours and 19 min.
Wonderful cult film where David Bowie makes the role of his life as a extraterrestrial climate refugee in search of water to save his dying planet that was destroyed by environmental degradation and war. Nicolas Roeg’s filming of Walter Tis Roman is a magical, mysterious trip-a drama about loneliness and alienation, a satire over the consumer society and part of the 70s dystopian sci-fi wave that depicted the consequences of human violence against nature.
