Wild Hearts review: An epic Japanese inspired monster hunter battle game on PS5

Mike McCahill Guest Contributor Why complicate matters? “The Swarm” – which premiered its first three episodes at the Berlinale Series – is one of those expensive pan-global coproductions necessitating copious logistics, not least a carefully observed quota of performers from each territory pumping money into the production pot. Its opener generates a not inconsiderable carbon footprint, whisking us from Peru to Canada and thence the Scottish Highlands. The series title, meanwhile, invites confusion with not just 1978’s infamous Michael Caine venture – a disaster movie in all senses – but Donald Glover and Janine Nabers’ Prime Video-bound “Swarm”, itself launching next month.

William Earl Ninety minutes into a set at Madison Square Garden, EDM mainstay Skrillex jumped onto the DJ booth, arms outstretched, head tilted back and bathed in cell phone lights, the screaming crowd and rattling bass. When the massive drop hit and the house lights dropped, his rebirth was complete. The Feb. 18 show, a collaboration with fellow DJs Fred Again and Four Tet, was billed as a pop-up rave, akin to the secret sets the trio had been playing in the last few weeks in London clubs, Brooklyn’s Good Room and even a makeshift bus in the middle of Times Square. While the MSG show sold like a legacy artist — with tickets gone in minutes and fans begging for a miracle on message boards — the Skrillex seen trotting around on social media prior to the sets was decidedly a different figure than a dubstep titan.

Guy Lodge Film Critic Giacomo Abbruzzese’s debut feature is a hazily seductive, frequently dreamlike study of life in the French Foreign Legion, fixated on masculine bodies in synchronized and sometimes violently clashing motion. It is also called “Disco Boy.” You almost certainly wouldn’t choose that subject, tone and title for a film if you didn’t want viewers’ minds to immediately wander to “Beau Travail,” Claire Denis’ seminal Foreign Legion cine-ballet, with its climactic solo number set to a thumping Eurodance classic; even if you somehow made that error, you wouldn’t compound it with electro-scored terpsichorean interludes of your own. Choosing homage this direct for a first feature is a brazen move, but notwithstanding its openly derivative qualities, “Disco Boy” doesn’t want for boldness or surprise — Abbruzzese’s hot, fluxional command of sound and image keeps us curious.
