Inside Out Returns, Nine Years Later
It's been nine years since the release of the successful animated film "Inside Out." Now, Pixar is back with a sequel that puts the spotlight on our favorite character, Riley, who is now a teenager. Disney announced in a statement, "As Riley turns 13, she receives a new set of age-appropriate emotions as gifts. These join the already known ones like Doubt, Envy, Boredom, and Shame, really putting the control center inside her head to the test. Fans of the first part, which won an Oscar in 2016 for the depiction of the living emotions, are in for quite a treat."
A Documentary on Rudolf Höss
A new documentary titled "The Shadow of the Commander" opens a window into the life of Rudolf Höss, the commander of the German extermination camp Auschwitz. The film, narrated by his son Hans-Jürgen Höss, begins with them moving into a family villa next to the camp in 1937 when he was three years old. According to the managing agency, "While Hans-Jürgen Höss spent his entire childhood in the family villa in Auschwitz, a Jewish inmate named Anita Lasker-Wallfisch was there, struggling for survival. This film tells the story of an incredible encounter where the two - both of them in their old age and from two completely different worlds - meet each other across a living room in London. As they do, they're accompanied by their children, Kai Höss and Maya Lasker-Wallfisch, who relay their views on the challenges they each carry due to their respective backgrounds."
