I Play Rocky (2026) – The Making of a Hollywood Legend

Posted on 2 Hours Ago by Hugo Pagan Soto

What I Play Rocky does is not something new in cinema. As recently as last year, Richard Linklater imagined the birth of one of the most important films in the history of cinema in his Nouvelle Vague (2025). Brilliantly, we witnessed the dramatization of Jean-Luc Godard and his process of making À bout de souffle (1960). If we dig through the archives, we will find many films that tell the story of how another movie was made, and if we expand our search to documentaries, there are countless more. Director Peter Farrelly’s latest venture takes on one of the most iconic films in the history of the seventh art: Rocky.

Edward Said: Between Worlds (2026) – Between Exile and Memory

Posted on 1 Day Ago by Hugo Pagan Soto

“I firmly believe that the historical and moral sufficiency of the Palestinian cause will ultimately survive and overcome any attempt to distort it.” (The Question of Palestine)

In the documentary Edward Said: Between Worlds, director Maiken Baird revives the voice of one of the most influential figures in the struggle for Palestinian rights. Edward Said’s discourse gave the Palestinian cause an intellectual framework that transcended borders. We do not need outside narrators; the protagonist’s own words are enough. Through audio recordings, interviews, television appearances, and material from Said’s family archive, Baird constructs a powerful film.

The Last Movie Guy — Episode #1: Human Bonds Under Pressure

Posted on 1 Day Ago by Hugo Pagan Soto

Pip: The Last Movie Guy — where cinema is treated less like entertainment and more like evidence. Evidence of who we are, what we fear, and apparently, how badly we handle both avalanches and old friends.

Mara: Hugo Pagan Soto brings us two very different kinds of pressure this week — the slow crush of cultural collision and family values on one side, and the fatalism of war-era survival on the other. Let’s start with what happens when intimacy turns.

“Messenger of Allah, who among the people is most deserving of my good companionship and treatment?” He replied: “Your mother.” The man asked: “Then who?” He replied: “Your mother.” The man asked: “Then who?” He replied: “Your mother.” The man asked: “Then who?” He replied: “Then your father.”

Glaxo (2026): The Weight of Betrayal

Posted on 3 Days Ago by Hugo Pagan Soto

“When you are young and fall in love, love seems perfect. Friendship, on the other hand, is a much more complex bond than love.”

Anchored in the premise of a coming-of-age story, Benjamín Naishtat constructs Glaxo around seemingly familiar territory: youth, friendship, and that first love born with the intensity of a time in life when everything feels definitive. From a place of innocence, his characters believe that these bonds might remain intact in the face of time. But this is only the starting point for taking us into much more complicated and treacherous territory, where the film speaks about generational trauma and wounds that never heal.
