This article contains spoilers for Sweet Home season 1.
At the press conference for season 2 of Netflix monster K-drama Sweet Home, new cast member Kim Mu-yeol admitted that, when he got the gig, he had to rewatch the ending of season 1 because he had forgotten what happened.

The global success of the K-horror series spurred Netflix to order two more seasons, which were filmed together. With all eight episodes of season 2 dropping on Netflix on Dec. 1, here’s everything you need to remember about season 1…

Emirati Movie
British actor Jefferson Hall will soon appear on screen in Emirati director Nayla Al Khaja’s psychological thriller “Three,” about a young boy who appears to be possessed.
Al Khaja – who is known for standout shorts including horror film “The Shadow” and “Animal” that both play on Netflix – has just wrapped the independently-produced “Three,” her debut feature, which was shot in Thailand.
Besides, Hall, “Three” also stars Faten Ahmed; Noura Alabed (“Wiladah”); veteran U.A.E. actor Mari Al Halyan (“On Borrowed Time”); Mohannad Bin Huthail (“Rashash”) and emerging Emirati talent Saud Alzarooni.
“Three” marks a rare case of a drama in which a Brit becomes enmeshed with the core of an Emirati family. The film unfolds in an unspecified modern-day Middle Eastern city, where a young boy named Ahmed begins exhibiting strange behavior, eventually leading his mother Maryam, to believe he is possessed. As the plot thickens,...

Though its global reputation doesn’t compete with the nearby showcase in Busan, which is perhaps the most high-profile event of its kind in Asia, the Jeonjun International Film Festival continues to be every bit as exciting as its more celebrated South Korean counterpart. At this year’s edition, sold out theaters for even the more obscure or low-key films attested to the buzz that the Jiff generates in the region. Crowds here also seemed to skew a good couple of decades younger than those that you see at the average festival, which bodes well for the future of filmmaking and cinephilia in all its forms, in Korea and further afield.
As usual, the focus of this year’s Jiff was on emerging talent, but there were a few notable releases directed by established filmmakers dotted throughout the schedule. Debuting at Sundance back in January, The Pod Generation is Sophie Barthes...

Kim Hee-jung's new feature-‘A French Woman' infuses her experimental approach seamlessly within its bleak environment. Ambiguity is a virtue in this case which rewards us with witnessing everything like a first-hand experience. Due to the very nature of its narration, we are just as scared to trace down her memories as she is.
“A French Woman” is available from Echelon Studios
‘A French Woman' unfolds largely in an episodic manner. But these episodes are a part of the character's psyche and not merely a narrative tool. With its purposefully ambiguous nature, the film lets its viewers get on a nightmarish voyage through the mind of its bewildered protagonist. Mira, a middle-aged woman returns to Seoul (her hometown) after living in France for decades. The ambitious-her in the past wanted to achieve a prosperous acting career by learning the craft in the European lands. But, the older-her...

Indian Media World Shaken By Hostile Takeover Bid For Ndtv
Indian billionaire Guatam Adani looks set to acquire India’s premiere independent news broadcaster New Delhi Television (Ndtv) after his Adani Group exercised a right to buy a 29.18 stake under a loan agreement taken out by its founders more than a decade ago. The Adani Group has indicated that it plans to make an offer for a further 26 stake to give it a controlling 55 share in the company.
Ndtv was founded by the husband and wife team, economist Prannoy Roy and journalist Radhika Roy, in 1984. The company has put out a statement saying that Adani’s move to execute the right to buy clause had been undertaken without first consulting the co-founders, who hold a 32.26 stake.
Ndtv is regarded as one of the last homes of independent journalism in India and there are fears that a takeover by the Andani Group,...
