Movies that move us
It’s Hollywood’s big night to celebrate itself – and as it does – the world sees visions and themes of our lives reflected back to us. Everything from mental illness and war to marriage and evil incarnate. Plus, another year of snubs – especially for women and people of colour.
And, a film far from the Oscar spotlight but no less controversial – the American anti-abortion film “Unplanned” is causing heated debate here in Canada.
This week on Context: experts, actors, and screenwriters weigh in on the 92nd Academy Awards.
Movie night in Canada begins now!
