When her son was just two months old, Roja Pakari fell ill. After several medical tests, she was eventually diagnosed with incurable bone marrow cancer. Extended stays in hospital for treatment meant she slowly became a stranger to her little boy, who thought the hospital was her home.
Co-directed with fellow Danish filmmaker Emilie Adelina Monies, “The Son and the Moon” is Pakari’s love letter to her son, which she will be premiering at Cph:dox, one of Europe’s leading documentary film festivals, on March 18. Variety is debuting the poster below.
Mixing her own footage with archives of her native Iran shot with a camcorder, the film chronicles the six years since the birth of her son and the diagnosis of her illness: how she survived coma, her desire – in her own words – “not only to survive but to live” despite cancer, and how she reclaimed her place as...

Well, what do you know? The unstable queen sitting on an even more unstable throne seems to have taken a liking to the disgraced corporal after all. But I guess that was always what HBO’s political satire The Regime meant to keep at the center of all the unpredictability. Even though it’s rather straightforward how Chancellor Elena Vernham and Corporal Herbert Zubak have this mutually destructive dynamic, you never really know who’s the devil on whose shoulder.
Spoilers Ahead
How Does Zubak Change The Landscape Of Elena’s Palace?
Who would’ve thought that Elena’s mycophobia would have such a simple cure? Bowls of steaming spuds have apparently brought forth a detoxifying effect on the odd Chancellor’s body and mind. Although I doubt if I’d call Zubak an expert on country medicine, Elena certainly seems to reap enough benefits from it to reject Western medicine altogether.

Warning: The following contains major spoilers for The Babadook.
The first time I watched The Babadook, I nearly had a nervous breakdown. It was March of 2015. My husband, a Cpa, was deep in the throes of tax season, leaving me alone for long stretches of time with our one-year-old son and three-year-old daughter who was going through a screaming phase. Needless to say, the story of a mother pushed to the edge of sanity resonated with me deeply. One scene in particular, monstrous clothing reigning down as the frightened heroine crawls across the floor, was so affecting that I paused the movie and cried for a good ten minutes. Despite the extremity of my reaction, I would wager that I’m not alone. In the ten years since The Babadook premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, Jennifer Kent’s debut feature has become known for its ability to blend horror...
