Aramide Tinubu For the past decade, fans of the Courtney Kemp-created “Power” Universe have kept up with countless personalities and storylines across multiple shows. However, few characters have been as captivating as Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) from the original “Power.” Ruthless, hot-headed and hilarious, when Starz announced Tommy would be getting his own spinoff series, “Power Book IV: Force,” fans flocked to the screen. When “Force” debuted in February 2022, it became the network’s highest-rated series premiere.
After Ghost’s death at the end of “Power,” Tommy left New York to embark on a new chapter in Chicago. Unfortunately, despite the extensive framework the Robert Munic-created series had to build on, Season 1 was a doozy. Fans were faced with clumsy storylines, an unrecognizable Windy City and a restrained Tommy.
Before “Force” even premiered, Munic exited the series due to creative differences, and “Euphoria” producer Gary Lennon, who was instrumental in cultivating Tommy’s voice on “Power,” came aboard as showrunner for the sophomore season. It was a gamble that has paid off. The second season opener, fittingly named “Tommy’s Back,” begins just two days after the Season 1 finale.
Haunted and enraged by the murder of his business partner Liliana (Audrey Esparza), Tommy vows to avenge her death. He begins plotting against the Flynn family — a faction of the Irish mob with a hold over the city’s North Side. However, as Tommy has learned, Chicago is not New York.

Clean, green Switzerland, land of chocolate, cuckoo clocks and direct democracy, is revealed to have a history of racial abuse as ugly as any other in Giorgio Diritti’s rolling epic Lubo, showing in competition at the Venice Film Festival. German actor Franz Rogowski plays the title character, a street performer and paterfamilias who is part of Switzerland’s community of Jenisch, a nomadic people originating in Germany. Lubo’s story is a dramatically terrible one – his wife is killed in a spat with heavy-handed police and his children are taken away, all while he is being marched off to serve time in the army – but it speaks to the truth.
Marta Balaga In Giorgio Diritti’s film “Lubo,” based on Mario Cavatore’s novel “Il seminatore,” Franz Rogowski seduces as Lubo, a Yenish traveling performer, father and husband, who has to join the Swiss army in 1939. He is one hell of a charmer, although his passion has dark undertones. “Our take is more playful, but the book put more emphasis on the fact that this man impregnated over 100 women in Zurich.
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic “Memory” feels like the “Silver Linings Playbook” of Michel Franco’s career: an unexpectedly accessible romance between two damaged human beings, from an independent director who’s been known to put characters through some of life’s most punishing indignities. The previous film of Franco’s that it most resembles is “Chronic,” though the tough-love auteur spares us the bummer ending this time around. In that movie, he followed a hospice nurse through his rounds, then abruptly cut to black when the guy was sideswiped by a car.
