There’s just one month left in 2020. We can get through this. With the weather growing colder, you’ll need more entertainment than ever to keep you occupied. This week, Hyperallergic has great writing on a film about the making of Citizen Kane, a sweeping look at transient workers across the US, a romantic queer period piece, and more. Enjoy!

One of this fall’s big awards contenders is Mank, a look behind the scenes of the making of Citizen Kane. Justine Smith explains how the film digs up a decades-old controversy over the authorship of Kane.

With only one month left in the year, Dessane Lopez Cassell has rounded up all the must-see shows and film programs. Look at her concise guide and mark your calendar accordingly.

Are you a fan of The Crown and/or The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix? If so, then you won’t want to miss The Queen and The Crown, a virtual exhibition from the Brooklyn Museum that pairs costume designs from those series with related artwork from the museum’s collection.

And the big cinematic event of the month is Film at Lincoln Center’s complete retrospective of the films of Wong Kar-wai. Despite being a highly respected director, an odd number of his films aren’t easily available in the US, so this is an unmissable chance, especially since many of them have been newly restored. Let Ryan Swen guide you to some of his lesser-known works.

For this week’s streaming column, we’ve highlighted some great short films that are available on the Criterion Channel. (The Burden is lowkey one of the best movie musicals of the decade.)

On a similar note, until Sunday, you can check out the 2020 Best of BAMkids Film Festival, streaming via the Brooklyn Academy of Music. If you are a fan of delightful animated shorts (and why wouldn’t you be??), then make it a priority.

Jen Hyde has previously written about the work of clothing historian YouTuber Bernadette Banner for us. This week, she’s dropped an interesting video that answers a basic question you may or may not have thought about before: How did women use the toilet in the days when they had to wear like a dozen layers of dress?

Until we can see you in the theater again, stay safe!
