“Medusa Deluxe”: An Unexpected Fusion of Mystery and Disco

Epic Tale of Vanished Youth: 1991’s ‘SKINLESS NIGHT’ unveiled through Hachimitsu Pie’s iconic anthem

Fiction and dream-inducing music in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City

“Barbie”: “What was I made for?” is perhaps the question asking the movie itself
