Toronto film festival: Director Guy Nattiv draws on personal experience for an 80s-set tale of a woman abandoning her family for a creepy commune
We remain fascinated and horrified by the hows and whys of cult narratives, how someone could be so seduced by something so unknown and why they would then risk everything for it. Oscar-winning writer-director Guy Nattiv has been personally affected by these questions for most of his life, his grandmother joining a cult when he was a child and never coming back.
His attempt to try to understand who she was and why she acted in such a way has led to unsettling drama The Liberation, a fictionalised tale that acts as a form of therapy for him and a mostly successful antidote to more sensationalist cult stories for us. Enough Netflix docuseries and schlocky horror movies have given us a more extreme and often violent idea of how cults infect and destroy vulnerable people but Nattiv opts for a more thoughtful slow-burn. He’s recruited a suitably thoughtful actor in Carrie Coon, no stranger to this particular psychology having broken out in The Leftovers, one of the more intelligent cult dramas in recent years.
The Liberation is screening at the Toronto film festival and will be released later this year

Women with the same medical condition as men are less likely to be offered treatment such as surgery, a stent or a strong painkiller, research has found.

De renteverhoging door de Federal Reserve was algemeen verwacht op de financiële markten. Het is voor het eerst sinds juli 2023 dat de rente in 's werelds grootste economie wordt verhoogd.
Het besluit werd unaniem genomen door de beleidsmakers van de Fed. Het belangrijkste rentetarief in de VS gaat nu naar een niveau tussen de 3,75 en 4 procent. Met de verhoging gaat de Amerikaanse centrale bank wel in tegen de uitdrukkelijke wens van president Donald Trump voor een lage rente. Trump vindt dat de Amerikaanse leenkosten de laagste ter wereld zouden moeten zijn.
Het is voor het eerst sinds het aantreden van voorzitter Kevin Warsh in mei dat de Fed met een verhoging komt.
