The new limited series, Enigma Variations, is based on the novel of the same name by André Aciman, who also wrote Call Me by Your Name – the popular story that became a 2017 movie starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer.

Feel-good movies come in all sorts of styles. They could be touching animated films, lighthearted romantic comedies, or even beloved classics from our childhoods. Luckily, Netflix has a good selection of these uplifting movies.

Calling Dead Lover unusual would be an understatement—it’s truly original. Visually, it’s reminiscent of Kenneth Anger films like Eaux d’Artifice and Rabbit’s Moon, with a vibrant, textured style, but it’s intentionally rough around the edges, like the work of Guy Maddin or the quirky humor of Sarah Squirm.

I’m really excited about the upcoming series, This Summer Will Be Different! I heard they’re shooting on location in Prince Edward Island and also in Toronto, which sounds beautiful.

They’re not just writing and running the show, but also executive producing it with a fantastic team including Fortune, Jennifer Kawaja, and Elise Cousineau, all through Sphere Media. It sounds like it’s in really good hands!
