Sorkin, who depicted the creation and early years of Facebook in 2010's "The Social Network," said the tech giant has since then played a major role in the United States' sharp political polarization. "I'll be writing about this. I blame Facebook for January 6," he said. Sorkin, who also created TV's "The West Wing" and movie "The Trial of the Chicago 7," revealed the nascent projec...

French filmmaker Laurent Cantet, who won the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 2008 for his school-set film Entre Les Murs (The Class), died on Thursday aged 63.

Bégaudeau also starred in the film. It is both moving and at times wonderfully humorous portrait of precious idealism in the classroom – and doubly impressive conside...

She’s travelled around the world capturing images of humanity at its more wrought, raw, and worst...

Since then, ride-or-die fans have been combing through the lyrics of ‘ The Tortured Poets Department ’ to find every easter egg to add to an ever-expanding lore; countless op-eds have been published dedicated to whether Swift has lost it; and some mildly tortured Swifties like myself continue to bemoan the overblown cultural stranglehold the singer continues to exert through her hyperproductivity, waking up to the fact that oversaturation is near - especially when she coul...
