Disability representation and poetry both make history
Today's art news is marked by a pair of historic firsts: Sony's 'GOAT' becomes the first major studio film with an all-disability loop group, and Elizabeth Bishop's love story gets a deep dive. Meanwhile, Karlovy Vary keeps generating headlines with Dustin Hoffman and a debut feature.
Historic firsts
Two milestones today: one in Hollywood accessibility, one in literary biography.
The Marginalian tells the love story behind Elizabeth Bishop's poem 'One Art,' connecting her relationship with Alice Methfessel to the poem's themes of loss and love.
Karlovy Vary continues
The festival keeps delivering stories, from Hoffman's reflections to a debut feature.
Dustin Hoffman appeared at Karlovy Vary to discuss his accidental casting in 'The Graduate' and reflect on a divided America.
Axel Bertha's debut 'Against Nature' premieres at Karlovy Vary, a haunting film about a stonemason exploring the boundary between physical and spiritual worlds.
