Original title: ‘Marc by Sofia’ Review: Sofia Coppola’s Marc Jacobs Doc Offers a Colorful but Unrevealing Insider’s Take Sofia Coppola and Marc Jacobs have been great friends and occasional collaborators since the 1990s. Fashion writers regularly call her his muse. Among other connections, she appeared in an ad campaign for one of his fragrances in 2002 and directed commercials for his Daisy line of fragrances in 2014. No one would expect Marc by Sofia, Coppola’s first documentary, to be anything but an admiring, affectionate look at a close friend’s career. But Coppola’s films are always full of fashion and style — most conspicuously in the candy-colored Marie Antoinette, but all the others as well. And Jacobs has been a major designer for decades, with a career worth exploring, so there is a lot to enjoy in this kinetic, colorful, although extremely limited film. Marc by Sofia The Bottom Line Super-stylish and lighter than air. Venue: Venice Film Festival (Out of Competition) Director: Sofia Coppola 1 hour 37 minutes The slim narrative trajectory has Coppola following Jacobs in the 12 weeks leading up ...

Original title: Kathryn Bigelow Made Political Thriller ‘A House of Dynamite’ to Warn the World About Nuclear Annihilation Kathryn Bigelow says she made her latest political thriller, A House of Dynamite, to warn the world about the real and ever-present risks of total global nuclear annihilation. The Oscar-winning director swept into Venice, Italy on Tuesday to unveil her first movie in eight years in competition at the world’s oldest film festival. She described the much-anticipated film’s subject, nuclear weapons, as “a global issue,” and said she was motivated by a desire to “get that information out there.” “Hope against hope, maybe we will reduce the nuclear stockpile someday,” she added, “but in the meantime, we are really living in a house of dynamite.” Bigelow and her cast arrived at the Venice press conference with a wave of positive buzz at their backs after House of Dynamite played for the first time at two packed press screenings in the morning.

Original title: Report: Apple Demands Suppliers Switch to Robotics for Manufacturing Apple is significantly accelerating the rollout of automation and robotics across its manufacturing supply chain, DigiTimes reports. While Apple has advocated for increased automation in supplier facilities for over two years, sources familiar with the matter say that Apple now requires automation as a standard prerequisite for awarding manufacturing contracts. This is said to be part of a broader effort to minimize labor dependency, stabilize product quality and uniformity across different facilities, and reduce long-term production costs amid ongoing supply chain diversification away from China.

Apple now purportedly expects suppliers to fund their own automation upgrades rather than rely on Apple to finance or subsidize the necessary capital equipment. This policy change diverges from Apple’s previous approach, where the company frequently invested in tooling and ...
