With her recent performances for the Super Bowl Halftime Show and Jazz in the Gardens Music Fest, Mary J. Blige has very little free time on her hands. The Grammy winner recently revealed her hectic schedule and lack of free time is one of the reasons she isn’t looking to start a family anytime soon. “I like my freedom to go and move and do what I want to do,” the 51-year-old singer told E!

Every year at the Cannes Film Festival there is a critics’ favorite. Last year, it was Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car, a loose adaptation of three stories from Haruki Murakami’s 2014 compendium Men Without Women, that stars Hidetoshi Nishijima as Yūsuke Kafuku, an actor and theater director dealing with a tragic loss.

Though it only left Cannes with an award for Best Screenplay, Drive My Car went on to be the arthouse bulldozer of 2021, leading to a surprise three nominations—for Best Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay—outside the expected Foreign Language Film nod. This interview took place shortly after Hamaguchi’s stint as juror at this year’s Berlinale…
