A documentary on the legal woes between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard headlines the new spring lineup from U.K. broadcaster Channel 4.
At the channel’s Content Showcase in London, chief content officer Ian Katz unveiled a slate of “purposeful, provocative but never predictable” programming that he hopes will get people “thinking, arguing and asking questions about the world in which we live.”
“Depp vs Heard” will be a three-part series by BAFTA-nominated series director Emma Cooper, investigating the notorious defamation trial that captivated global audiences for three straight months last year. The case — dubbed the world’s first ‘Tik Tok trial’ — was a global media event and raised significant issues regarding violence, gender and the nature of justice in the post-truth era.

Country legend Loretta Lynn was a prolific songwriter, undeniably. But not everyone liked to hear what she had to say in her honest, woman-centered songs — especially in the ’60s. Country radio stations outright banned a relatively small number of her tunes for being too controversial, not that it bothered her too much.
Here’s a look at why Lynn believed that happened and why it didn’t worry her regarding their chart performance. Plus, our picks for three of her most honest banned songs.
Loretta Lynn | Cooper Neill/Getty Images Why country stations banned Loretta Lynn’s songs, in her words
In Lynn’s 90-year life, she wrote hundreds of songs. Many of those she recorded for release, and 16 went to number one.
In a 1987 interview with the San Diego Union, she noted country stations banned eight. But it was a good sign. “As soon as I heard one of my songs got banned,...

Romantic comedies became coy sex chase comedies in the early 1960s, once Doris Day made ‘professional virgin’ a Hollywood career. This mistaken identity/crossed prevarications farce is better than most, thanks to charming performances by Jane Fonda and Rod Taylor, and a fine script by Norman Krasna, from his play. The story doesn’t dance around the issue of should she or shouldn’t she — the frustrated young heroine asks the question right out loud: ‘Am I supposed to sleep with a steady boyfriend?’

Women supporting women was the main topic of conversation Wednesday night at the Tennessee premiere of Lifetime’s new film, “Patsy & Loretta,” held south of Nashville at the Franklin Theater. Starring Megan Hilty (“Smash”) as Patsy Cline and Jessie Mueller (Tony-nominated for “Waitress” and a winner for “Beautiful”) as Loretta Lynn — pictured above, with their wax counterparts — the film shines a spotlight on the friendship that formed between them before Cline’s untimely death in a plane crash in 1963.
Director Callie Khouri, the Oscar-winning writer of “Thelma and Louise” and creator of the ABC/Cmt series “Nashville,” has a history of creating powerful narratives around strong women. “I think the story of women’s friendships has never been told in enough depth,” the filmmaker told Variety at the premiere. “For women to be helping each other back when everybody thought that there was only one slot, to see somebody...

There may be no documentarian who’s ever taken the dictation to “show your work” more seriously than Ken Burns. The omnipresent filmmaker has made his name on deep, dense dives into American culture that provide as much context and archival material as possible without fogging up the overall narrative. It’s an impressive balancing act that has helped him direct and produce examinations on everything from the evolution of baseball, the lasting legacy of the Roosevelts, the intricate horrors of the Vietnam War, and beyond. Now, alongside producer Julie Dunfey and writer/producer Dayton Duncan, Burns has set his sights on the origins and impact of country music, a thoroughly American genre with an extremely complicated history. It’s a hugely ambitious project given just how many decades the genre has encompassed. While Burns’ “Jazz” zoomed in on about 30 years of history over the course of 4 episodes, “Country Music...

For the finale of the Loretta Lynn birthday concert in Nashville on Monday night, the majority of the all-star cast returned to the stage to sing “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” a motley crew of Tanya Tucker, Brandi Carlile and Dennis Quaid all gathered around the guest of honor. It was a tenuous moment, with the soon-to-be 87-year-old Lynn emphatically shaking off her sister Crystal Gayle’s overture for her to sing her signature song. “I don’t wanna,” Lynn said.
But then, at the start of the second verse, Lynn seized the moment.

A sense of inclusion in Nashville occasionally manifests in a socially conscious single. This is nothing new for country music, which has a long history of “message songs,” some forward leaning (Loretta Lynn’s feminist “The Pill”), some arguably not so much (Merle Haggard’s “Fightin’ Side of Me”). In the 2010s, a song like Kacey Musgraves’ openly pro-lgbt “Follow Your Arrow” can move the genre’s needle in a significant way even without becoming a radio hit, while a more vaguely worded statement from a major artist, like Luke Bryan’s “Most People Are Good,” hits No. 1 — an indication that, as Variety further explores in this week’s issue, Nashville has a growing thirst for diversity, on and off the record.

Kids helmer Larry Clark circumvented traditional distribution when he put his latest film, Marfa Girl, online for fans to stream on his own website for $5.99 a pop. Thanks to Breaking Glass Pictures, he’ll see the sexually charged West Texas-set drama hit theaters in limited release next year. Marfa Girl revolves around Adam (Adam Mediano), a directionless 16-year-old living in Marfa, and his relationships with his girlfriend, his neighbor, his teacher, a newly arrived local artist, and a local Border Patrol officer. The film won top honors at the 2012 Rome Film Festival and will open in a 10- to 15-theater run in the spring. “I think Marfa Girl is my best film or at least as good as any film I’ve made,” said Clark in a statement. Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff negotiated the deal with Ryan McCombs of Spotlight Pictures.

For some, making their first feature is a long and drawn out process, featuring years and years of meticulous screenplay editing, an arduous casting process, another year in post, all to beget a film that is as personal as a hermetically-sealed bag. Jc Khoury, the writer/director of The Pill didn’t have time for that. Mixing personal aspirations with game shows, he came up with the idea for his debut feature and gave himself a ticking clock before he had to put it all on film.
The ticking clock idea translates directly into The Pill where a one night stand could quickly turn into a life-long problem if not for these two little miracle pills (my review). In this extended interview, discover the films that helped shape this frank and funny little film, what line makes people yell at the screen in horror, whether or not it’s a good date flick,...

After learning that Mindy isn’t on birth control, Fred spends the following day with her, pretending that he wants a serious relationship, to make sure she takes both doses of the morning after pill.

One of the greatest lessons I received from my film school education was a tossaway bon mot from a faculty advise, upset that I didn’t have time to take a 17th century sculpture class. Seeing my confused expression, she shared, “you can’t break the form until you learn it.” With The Pill, first-time writer/director J.C. Khoury manages to somehow do both and still create a fun, entertaining, and surprisingly effective film.
Not since the western has a genre been so dominated by X’s and O’s than romantic comedies. Rom-coms follow a certain formula, replicated over and over again, mainly because they work.

I know what you’re thinking. “Another romantic comedy,” right? Guy meets girl, goofy things happen, it looks like they’ll never get together, then in the end (big surprise), they do. You don’t even have to watch the trailer to figure out where most new rom-coms are going.
Judging by the new trailer, J.C. Khoury‘s The Pill is a far cry from most rom-coms. The film stars Noah Bean (Damages) and Rachel Boston ((500) Days of Summer) as Fred and Mindy, two attractive young people who, after a night of heavy drinking, get busy on an unprotected one-night stand. When Fred realizes Mindy isn’t on the pill, he freaks out and convinces her to take a morning after pill. Then he learns the morning after pill actually comes in two doses 12 hours apart and decides his best course of action is to pretend to be romantically interested...

One thing that's missing in our romantic comedies these days is honesty. Instead, lame, tame cartoonish premises have turned into lame, foul-mouthed cartoonish premises -- and though many of our more recent romantic comedies have been of the R-rated, get-drunk-and-this-is-actually-pretty-hilarious variety, there's still a raw, uncomfortable honesty that's absent in so many films. That's why it was pretty awesome earlier this year when I happened upon The Pill at the Gen Art Film Festival. Here's a film that takes a somewhat uncomfortable (but damn catchy) premise and injects it with such a dose of reality that it truly challenges its audience and takes them on a great ride at the same time.

Writer-director J.C. Khoury’s engaging The Pill, which just enjoyed its world premiere at the 14th annual Dances With Films festival, is thankfully not one of those efforts.

The Pill, a romantic comedy about a one-night stand and an ensuing pregnancy scare, stars Noah Bean, Rachel Boston, and Anna Chlumsky. The film had its East Coast premiere at the Gen Art Film Festival on Sunday, and, with any luck, will soon be available for your viewing pleasure... Director J.C. Khoury opens up about his inspiration - mainly, his experience as a "professional hypochondriac." I have always believed, more so recently than ever, that mainstream films lack verisimilitude. They are generally dishonest in their interpretations of character and everyday life. This is why I have gravitated to the filmmaking of the Duplass brothers, Woody Allen, Larry David, and Julie Delpy. These filmmakers create and mine awkward social situations for nuggets of human pathos and humor, and they do so with truth and integrity. In The Pill, I strive to do the same. Until a year ago, I had never...

Taking place from June 2-9, 2011 at the Laemmle Sunset 5 in Hollywood, “Dances with Films” bills itself as “The Last Independent Independent Film Festival.”
The festival opens with the world premiere of James Hacking’s “Love’s Kitchen,” starring Dougray Scott, Claire Forlani, Simon Callow and Gordon Ramsay, in which the British chef with the potty mouth plays himself. Closing the festival is Michael Madison’s “Delivered,” which, by its own promotion, is inspired by “True Romance” and “Vanishing Point.”
Among the two-dozen features in the line-up, the films that have been best brought to our attention are “10 Years Later,” a film by first-time filmmaker Aaron Metchik in which Dustin Hoffman’s son Jake gets to show off his chops alongside Rachel Boston; “Letting Go,” in which the “Brady Bunch’s” Christopher Knight stars; and Rachel Boston’s second film in the festival, “The Pill,” in which the actress co-stars with Noah Bean and Anna Chlumsky.
