Including Call Me by Your Name, Purple Rain, Black Swan, and Paddington 2. Photo-Illustration: Emily Denniston and Maya Robinson/Vulture This weekend, Luca Guadagnino’s maximalist reworking of Italian horror classic Suspiria jetés into wide release. Dakota Johnson stars as an American ballerina attending a prestigious academy in pre-reunification Berlin, tutored by severe instructors giving her a faintly Satanic vibe. (Perhaps it has something to do with all the meat hooks?) The Damien Jalet–choreographed dances stand out as the most gripping sections in the film’s dense two-and-a-half hours, in particular the fiendish group piece titled “Volk.
It’s not at all surprising that Tom Petty, one of the finest musicians to ever grace this earth, has received copious tributes from his peers and contemporaries over the past week. Here are a few of the best covers — from Jason Aldean to Kesha, to, uh, a lot of southern football fans — that capture the indistinguishable Petty spirit.
Jason Aldean Eschewing the standard Saturday Night Live cold open in favor of a short speech and performance, Jason Aldean addressed the nation about the traumatic Las Vegas attack and how we can begin to heal.
Rosalía arrived like an unexpected spring shower, achieving maximum saturation at shocking speeds. In a flash, whispers about the gifted singer from Spain reimagining flamenco music for new ears blossomed into international acclaim, as the taste for stark covers of traditional flamenco tunes displayed on 2017’s Los Ángeles evolved into the spirited genre hybridization and the careful pop inroads of 2018’s award-winning El Mal Querer. By 2019, Rosalía was popping up on international hits alongside música urbana heavyweights J Balvin and Ozuna, and making appearances in English-language records by Travis Scott and James Blake.
Larry David in the season-nine premiere of Curb Your Enthusiasm. If a six-year hiatus weren’t enough to test your nerves, Curb Your Enthusiasm resumed work last fall the morning after the presidential election. In New York City, Susie Essman was “under the covers in a deep state of mourning,” grateful she wasn’t working that day. Cheryl Hines wasn’t on set, either.
First up were Larry David and J.B. Smoove, who tried to rekindle the L.

For a certain set of millennial women, few movies are more beloved than A League of Their Own, the fourth feature film directed by Penny Marshall and her second to surpass $100 million at the box office. (She became the first woman ever to accomplish that feat four years earlier with Big.) It’s insane how memorable this movie is — how many scenes and single lines and specific characters can be isolated out for their perfection, but somehow exist in one cohesive, joyful movie.
ABC Family is developing a TV show based on The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, the 1992 thriller. According to THR, Supernatural’s Daniel Loflin will write and executive produce the adaptation. The movie starred Rebecca De Mornay as a woman whose doctor husband killed himself after being accused of misconduct; she vows revenge on the woman who brought the allegations, and figures the best way to do that is to become her nanny, seduce her husband, and murder her.
The traumatized members of the Crain family in The Haunting of Hill House. I expected Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House to remind me of the Shirley Jackson novel on which it is based, or perhaps of other horror stories I’ve absorbed over the years. I did not expect it to remind me of This Is Us. Given the current TV landscape, maybe I should have.
This bingeable iteration of Jackson’s Gothic horror tale, which debuts Friday, is a non-literal adaptation of its source material.
