The series “Elite” on Netflix, known for captivating audiences with its thrilling narrative centered around teenagers, is concluding with an eagerly awaited eighth season

Elite” is a Netflix series starring Itzan Escamilla, Omar Ayuso and Miguel Bernarddeau. It is created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona.

As “Elite” enters its eighth and conclusive season, it preserves the captivating elements that initially drew audiences worldwide: the thrill of provocation, open discussions of sexuality, the vibrant essence of youth, the exploration of social issues, and the unraveling of mysteries. Although the prolonged exposure over eight seasons might have slightly diluted its pioneering spark and freshness, the prospect of reuniting with familiar faces at this elite institution for a select few is expected to be a significant draw for fans.

Detailing the eighth season

The discovery of another body introduces a new mystery within a recognizable setting of rich and daring students who thrive on defying societal norms and challenging the viewers’ expectations.

The collaboration between Netflix and the Spanish film industry has yielded a remarkable variety of content, spanning from lighthearted teenage romances to enthralling thrillers, all marked by their fearless provocativeness and the strength of their on-screen performances.
“Elite” continues to reflect these characteristics, focusing on leveraging its strengths to provoke strong viewer reactions without necessarily forging new narrative directions. Centered around an elite high school filled with wealthy students and a few scholarship recipients, the series navigates the inevitable clashes, romances, and drama that arise, providing a classic yet engaging storyline.

Albeit occasionally perceived as repetitive until this point, the series concludes on a high note with a final season that introduces new elements and resolves longstanding mysteries. This last season offers a deep sense of satisfaction and closure to its devoted fanbase, who may find themselves both longing for more and content with the series’ conclusion. The final episodes will be available starting Friday, July 26, exclusively on Netflix.

“Non Negotiable”: A Thrilling Yet Hilarious Tale of Kidnapping, Corruption, and Deceptive Marriages on Netflix

Non Negotiable” is a Mexican movie thriller starring Mauricio Ochmann, Leonardo Ortizgris and Tato Alexander.

“Non Negotiable” is an engaging Mexican film that adeptly interweaves elements of a thriller with a heavy dose of comedy. The movie is rich with corrupt politicians and kidnapping scenarios, all laced with the fine humor of director Juan Taratuto, offering audiences a lot more than just laughs.

While this film may not dramatically change your life or unveil any profound truths, “Non Negotiable” guarantees entertainment and more importantly, it will draw a smile on your face with its distinctly Mexican sense of humor.

Synopsis

The crux of the plot revolves around a kidnapped President, and a negotiator who is nothing short of a compulsive liar. Adding to the negotiator’s tribulations, his wife too, has been kidnapped. The perpetrator demands a hefty ransom, but with a surprisingly altruistic intent – the money is for institutions, hospitals, and health centers. At its core, the kidnapper is seemingly a vigilante exposing the President’s corruption.

About the Movie

“Non Negotiable” stands out for its ironic and intelligent humor, engaging premise, dynamic dialogues, and brilliant acting, particularly by Mauricio Ochmann who effortlessly carries the film. It is very much an actor’s movie with standout performances by Leonardo Ortizgris, Tato Alexander, and Enoc Leaño who manifest the corrupt President. The comedy unfolds over a single night’s kidnapping, without the need for grand chases or striking action sequences.

The film doesn’t aspire to be a blockbuster but is content in providing entertainment, humor, and presenting a mirror to the corrupt politicos. There are moments in the film that will have you in splits, although the film leans more towards inducing a smile than triggering outright laughter: it is Mexico laughing at itself with a self-aware, ironic, and intelligent tone.

Our Take

“Non Negotiable” is a straightforward and effective film that allows itself to enjoy the thriller genre in a relaxed and jovial manner. The excellent performances coupled with the witty script, although not earth-shattering, leave a lasting impression and manage to brighten up your day with a smile. Enjoy the show!

“Wonderland”: A Sci-Fi Film on Netflix Pioneering a Ray of Hope in Artificial Intelligence

Wonderland” is a Netflix movie starring Tang Wei, Suzy and Park Bo-gum.

Netflix unveils a captivating science fiction film today, delving into the endless possibilities that the future virtual world promises. “Wonderland”, a Korean dystopia, is more than just a spectacle of special effects. It constantly harks back to emotions and the fundamental human essence of things in a world interlinked with a reality that amalgamates the living and the dead. It might seem like a plot for a horror movie, but “Wonderland” is far from being one.

Film Synopsis

Wonderland, the envisaged virtual reality, bridges the gap between the living and memories of the deceased. Via the medium of artificial intelligence, it fosters an almost real cohabitation with loved ones.

About the Film

The dystopia, for a change, doesn’t steer us towards a Black Mirror edge. Neither is it a horror movie nor does it showcase the future as such, nor does it caution us about the catastrophes technology heralds. “Wonderland” is a film about how technology can bring us closer to our emotions and reconnect us with our dearest ones.

The film presents different situations and characters who guide us on an emotional journey packed with hope for the future. It’s a visually stunning film, replete with elements of humour, invariably tender, and never intends to lead us onto a darker side of technology.

This time, it highlights the kinder side of technology and how it could ironically bring us closer to our human side. “Wonderland” is also a film that evokes sadness at times, displaying characters who are solitary and isolated. It’s a light movie that often seems apprehensive about acknowledging a harsher reality.

Indeed, “Wonderland” is a different sort of dystopia that deviates from the usual genre tropes, which is refreshing. In a world drenched in despair, this movie offers at least that—faith in the future and in humanity, which is inextricably linked to technological advancement.

The film is splendidly shot and upholds the usual quality of Korean productions, and its characteristic sentimental inclination. Contrary to expert opinion, the film suggests that AI can also aid in improving human quality of life and in enhancing our humanity.

Our Opinion

The film offers a very amiable vision of the future. It’s so hopeful that it appears somewhat illusory and unreal. However, it’s pleasant to see a glimmer of hope in this world teeming with apocalyptic technological evidence. A movie brimming with humanity, it distances itself from the conventional treatments of dystopian cinema and literature.

About the Series

This series, both humorous and of the high standard we’ve come to expect from Apple TV+, may not rewrite the history of cinema, but it’s exceptionally entertaining, specifically designed for kids to enjoy a truly wild, somewhat absurd time.

For the traditionalists, this series has everything it takes to entertain.

Available from July 24th on Apple TV+ – we hope you enjoy it!

“Kleo” Season 2: Netflix Welcomes Back the Most Dangerous and Hilarious Super-Spy

Kleo” is a Netflix series starring Jella Haase. With Julius Feldmeier and Dimitrij Schaad.

In the world of espionage and humor, the Netflix series “Kleo” stands out as a gem. The second season welcomes back the most entertaining spy from the German reunification era, promising more of the same: intrigue and humor set against a historical backdrop.

Plot Synopsis

Kleo, an unofficial super-spy working for the government, has been forced into a role of a contract killer. After taking out a CIA agent, she was betrayed and imprisoned by the very people she trusted. However, with the fall of the Berlin Wall, Kleo is released and out for revenge.

About the Show

Above all, this is a fun watch, with excellent set designs and costumes that reflect the era’s aesthetics, all presented with a sense of irony and humor. With its engaging pace, the show manages to entertain at all times. Despite the historical spy narrative, the actual storyline diverts quite a bit from reality. “Kleo” is designed to help viewers unwind, all the while providing splendid entertainment through Kleo, who handles her vengeance with a humorous bent.

Additionally, the show is filled with endearing supporting characters, each contributing a mix of realism and irony. While it comes close to being a parody, it prefers to be a hilariously engrossing thriller set during the Cold War.

Our Verdict

“Kleo” is one of our favorite series: combining style, fun, and a large serving of intelligent humor in this historical-comical thriller. Give this contract killer a chance: she is uproarious, smart, and has an incredible sense of pacing, both cinematically and in terms of plot development.

“Tokyo Swindlers” Series on Netflix: Scammers, Cops, and Real Estate Speculation

Tokyo Swindlers” is a Netflix thriller series starring Gou Ayano and Etsushi Toyokawa.

Tokyo, the largest and most populous city in the world, is a challenging landscape. It is not surprising that it has given rise to real estate scammers, a phenomenon that has become the heart of the thrilling new series on Netflix. The show is a fast-paced, modern thriller that skillfully fuses classic stories of con artists and criminals against a contemporary backdrop, with a heavy dose of cutting-edge technology.

Plot

The story takes us back to the resurgence of real estate fraudsters in Tokyo around 2010, following the Olympic Games and the revival of property speculation in the city. The characters include a leader, a negotiator, a real estate expert, a forger, a legal adviser, an informant, and a recruiter of impostors. These rogues use highly advanced and precise criminal techniques, making them a sought-after group by the police yet they remain elusive and undetected.

About the Series

Are you a fan of 1940s Hollywood movies? Particularly those where criminals were the stars and true heroes in a world that applauded them as individuals living their freedom through crime beyond traditional parameters. The series “Tokyo Swindlers” grants such criminals a leading role. But these are no heroes in pursuit of justice – they are professional real estate fraudsters who wield speculation and greed as their weapons. They con major real estate companies by posing as legitimate owners, forging documents, and performing spectacular counterfeits with microchips, watermarks, and more. On the other hand, we have the police force, featuring an amusing duo of investigators (a veteran and a rookie), bringing a touch of humor to this engaging thriller.

“Tokyo Swindlers” is above all, an entertaining cat-and-mouse thriller involving robbers and cops. It has a sense of humor, momentum, and a well-executed plot. It’s one of those shows that viewers can quickly binge-watch and enjoy, without leaving an unforgettable mark.

Our Opinion

If you enjoy crime series involving scam artists and police, “Tokyo Swindlers” might just be worth your time. It boasts a great setting and a compelling plot, although it lacks enough original elements to truly stand out or leave a lasting impression. It entertains, amuses, and behaves like a good television product – good in all aspects, but never brilliant.

“The Decameron” on Netflix: An Oddly Amusing Take on the Black Plague

The Decameron” is a Netflix series created by Kathleen Jordan starring Amar Chadha-Patel, Leila Farzad and Lou Gala.

Netflix introduces us to a series that, although is not based on an original concept, comes off as refreshing. It’s an idea that hasn’t been worn out by repetition – a comedy centered around a plague, around one of the biggest tragedies that humanity faced in the Middle Ages: The Black Plague, which was responsible for approximately 80 to 200 million deaths.

But we’re not here for the tragedies. “The Decameron” is a comedy set in the Middle Ages, a comedy reminiscent of Monty Python’s style: fun dialogues and a strong historical parody undertone.

Plot Overview

Set in 14th-century Florence during the Black Plague, the townsfolk struggle to survive amidst significant class disparities.

About the Series

An intelligent comedy that revisits the formula of historical parody that has been successful over the years. While the formula is not new, and “The Decameron” doesn’t reinvent it, it is undeniably entertaining.

Historical parody predates Monty Python, who popularized it years ago, but has been around since time immemorial, before the advent of cinema and since the times of classic Greek theater, which used drama to mock everything.

“The Decameron” is, above all, a parody of the class disparities in 1300s Florence, using the Black Plague pandemic as a pretext to provide a comedic yet thoughtful commentary on the similarities between the Middle Ages and modern times. Just like with the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Plague affected the rich and the poor alike, though after the pandemic, the rich grew richer and the poor remained the same. Perhaps it’s a matter of statistics.

In “The Decameron”, the story doesn’t matter much: it’s an ensemble comedy built around a plethora of characters, both rich and poor, intermingled in a diffuse social conglomerate, all trying to survive. The primary aim of the series is to entertain, while concurrently satirizing the historical parallels between the past and the present.

“The Decameron” is a series with a Mozart-like spirit, with a tone of parody, irony, and the frivolity of ‘Le nozze di Figaro’ (an opera from 1785). Cleverness, parody, comedy, and a strong theatrical spirit. “The Decameron” is more than an experiment; it’s a retro-spirit series that revives a literary and theatrical tradition that, now brought to the screen, is amusing, though not novel.

In aesthetics, it resorts to the more theatrical formulas, both in character treatment and in staging and set designs, to recreate the Middle Ages.

Our Verdict

Relax and enjoy, “The Decameron” is not going to change your life, nor does it offer anything new aesthetically or plot-wise, nor does it claim to rediscover the history of the Middle Ages, but it proves to be amusing and sufficiently frivolous for a good laugh. We hope you enjoy it.

Illuminating the Art World: Mary Corse Returns to New York with ‘Presence in Light’

New York – Mary Corse, a renowned artist known for her exploration of light, space, and perception, will be showcasing her latest work in the Pace Gallery at 540 West 25th Street, New York from September 13 to October 26, 2024. This pivotal event marks Corse’s first solo exhibition in the city since 2019, following her recent institutional exhibitions at the Long Museum West Bund in Shanghai, the Amorepacific Museum of Art in Seoul, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

This exhibition will feature Corse’s new series of diamond-shaped paintings. In these works, Corse utilizes glass microspheres to create an illuminated effect from within the painting – a technique she discovered during the late 1960s after noticing the progressive illumination of road markings. Although she produced her first diamond-shaped paintings in her twenties, this exhibition marks her first return to the format in more than six decades.

The show will also include Corse’s “Halo Room,” a new architectural installation that she has been developing for the past several years. This participatory piece casts a glowing halo around the viewer’s shadow when they enter the room, demonstrating Corse’s interest in the energetic relationship between the individual and the object.

The exhibition continues and deepens Corse’s exploration of presence in post-1960s art, reflecting the ethos that has been central to her practice for decades. As Corse puts it, “the work of art is not on the wall, it’s in your perception.”

Pace Gallery, a leading international art hub, is proud to present Corse’s unique and boundary-crossing artwork. Over the years, Pace has established a distinguished legacy, representing some of the most influential contemporary artists and estates from the past century. Today, Pace has locations worldwide, including London, Geneva, Berlin, and New York. With a focus on original scholarship and introducing new voices to the art historical canon, Pace remains at the forefront of innovation.

“Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam” Documentary on Netflix. Behind the Music and Money: The Lou Pearlman Story

Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam” is a Netflix documentary series directed by David Terry Fine.

Netflix’s new documentary, ‘Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam’, takes more than a glance at the intricately complex world of business and the inherent risks that trail behind it. This fascinating piece of work draws focus on the life and endeavors of Lou Pearlman, the man who shot two of the world’s most famous boy bands, Backstreet Boys and N’Sync, into stardom. But don’t stop there, the documentary digs deeper, revealing the grim business and music world beyond these bands.

Their journey, under Trans Continental – a company founded by Pearlman – from an anonymous group to the top of charts is explored in detail. Pearlman, a businessman who majored in aviation related businesses and advertising, revolutionized the concept of businesses by introducing a one-stop solution for promotion, production, and development, all under one roof, his.

The documentary takes us back to the 90s, a prime time for Backstreet Boys and N’Sync. The advent of New Kids on the Block, a boy band that had the girls swooning and earned roughly a billion dollars, was the turning point for Pearlman. He recognized the potential and decided to capitalize on it.

The Backstreet Boys, formed in Orlando and consisting of Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, and Howie Dorough, made their first public appearance in 1993. However, their success wasn’t overnight in the US, but they gained popularity in Germany in 1996.

Another creation by Pearlman, N’Sync, acted as a competition to Backstreet Boys. N’Sync and Backstreet Boys later sued Trans Continental, claiming that Pearlman had swindled billions from them. They eventually bought their freedom through a settlement.

When forming more boy bands didn’t work out, Pearlman shifted to investments, leading to a Ponzi scheme, and leaving $300 million in debt. He was captured in Bali in 2007 and passed away in 2016.

‘Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam’ brilliantly captures the essence of the contrasting worlds – the glamour and entertainment industry with limousines and singers, and the dark financial backdrop of music producers. So brace yourself, the real excitement kick-starts from the second episode, chronicling the downfall of a man and an era.

Bridging the Gap: Lygia Clark’s Visionary Artistic Journey

The exemplary Brazilian artist Lygia Clark’s first major public gallery presentation in the UK, “The I and the You,” is a ground-breaking exhibition hosted by Whitechapel Gallery, London. This showcase offers insight into Clark’s influential artistic journey during Brazil’s turbulent mid-1950s to early 1970s period. Clark, a fundamental figure in the Brazilian Neo-concrete movement, alongside other renowned artists, pushed for innovative artistic expressions beyond the restrictions of ‘concrete art’.

The I and the You exhibition uncovers how Clark’s early formal experimentation and burgeoning interest in the philosophy of experience and art’s therapeutic potential led to a gradual fusion of the artwork and the viewer. It illuminates her commitment to forging a tangible connection between the object, viewer, the internal and the external world.

Visitors begin their journey through a series of paintings, studies, and works on paper, revealing her intuitive approach to composition. A selection of Clark’s Bichos, ingenious works consisting of geometric shapes joined by hinges, further demonstrates her creative genius. These, along with other participatory works, were designed to be manipulated by the viewer, emphasizing Clark’s dedication to interactive, participatory art.

As visitors progress through the exhibition, they’ll notice Clark’s evolution, as her work increasingly emphasizes embodied experience over the object’s symbolic status during the 1960s. Her unconventional materials like plastic bags, glue, stones, and fruits challenge viewers to approach her art with an explorative mind.

“The I and the You” concludes with a showcase of Clark’s participatory group works developed during her time in Paris following the May 1968 protests. In this revolutionary spirit, she sought to explore group dynamics and challenge the boundaries of art. These works are activated through a series of performances every Saturday throughout the exhibition run.

In addition to the exhibition, the gallery will also host public talks, walks, and participatory events to further contextualize Lygia Clark’s work and practice, promising a comprehensive understanding of her artistic journey.

“The I and the You” is a testament to Lygia Clark’s innovative and participatory art practice which continues to inspire artists and audiences alike despite decades passing since her pioneering work first emerged.
