It was an incredible moment, and I felt like everybody had my back.”Now, in his latest series, Leguizamo is playing what he calls a “despicable, hateable character” — and he wants as many people as possible to see it. “The Network (platform) is free, all you have to do is subscribe,” Leguizamo said. “We’re doing a platform for diverse, quality stories, important stories.”“The Green Veil” is an eight-episode drama starring Leguizamo in his first lead role on a dramatic television series. Although Leguizamo describes “The Green Veil” as “historical fiction,” it draws on real-life events. Leguizamo was drawn to “The Green Veil” in part because it is a period piece, and Latinos are usually not included in such projects.

In 1996, a recording session was scheduled in Havana combining Cuban and Malian musicians, but the Africans had visa trouble and didn’t arrive. So instead, an assemblage of veteran Cuban musicians, some coming out of long retirement, recorded a collection of classic Cuban songs. This was “Buena Vista Social Club,” which became not just the best-selling Cuban album ever but also a defining artifact of Cuban culture beloved around the world. And now, almost 30 years later, there is a stage musical: “Buena Vista Social Club,” in previews at the Off Broadway Atlantic Theater Company. This newest project started a few years back, when a producer with the theatrical rights to the album approached the Cuban American playwright Marco Ramirez (“The Royale”).

[1/2] The 76th Cannes Film Festival - Screening of the film "Perfect Days" in competition - Red Carpet Arrivals - Cannes, France, May 25, 2023.

The result, "Perfect Days", premiers on Thursday, starring acclaimed Japanese actor Koji Yakusho as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. Cannes organizers liked the "spontaneous" work, which came together in just a few months, and wanted to show it, Wenders said. By comparison, "Anselm" is more of an experience than a film, Wenders said.

An India oil firm that's become the top shipper of Russian crude is likely tied to Rosneft, the FT reported. That comes amid India's growing appetite for deeply discounted Russian crude. It's unclear who owns Gatik, though industry experts have suggested the company is likely tied to Rosneft, Russia's largest state-run oil firm. Russian oil makes up 30% of India's crude consumption, up from the 1% prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to official trade statistics. Russia, in response, has built up its fleet of shadow ships, which are believed to transport Russian crude to the west via uninsured and under the radar vessels.
