French actress Lea Seydoux recently opened up on the harsh realities of Hollywood after she was recently seen in Dune: Part Two in which she starred alongside Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet, and other A-listers.&nbsp;

When asked why she does more work in European films vs Hollywood, she put it plainly that it's “easier” since Hollywood is “harsh on women”.

<h2>'Europe offers freedom, Hollywood is harsh'</h2>

Exposing Hollywood, she admitted, “The industry in America… I find it harsh on women. It’s hard for women to age. I don’t want to be afraid not to be desirable or to lose my contract. In America it’s economic, and when it becomes a matter of making money, you lose your freedom. I don’t feel comfortable with the fact that you have to tick all the boxes. Being a woman on screen is easier in Europe.”

She, however, doesn’t mind the parts being offered to her currently. She said that she’s “really satisfied” with the parts she has been given throughout her career in Hollywood so far, saying, “I take what I get!”

Denying this remark comes as a result of “frustration” in finding a footing in Hollywood, she added, “It’s tough for someone who’s not totally American to lead a Hollywood film.”

The French actress also added in a previous interview with IndieWire that she still looks for roles in Hollywood because she feels “that in America, people have more imagination.” But on the contrary, Europe offers more freedom.&nbsp;

Lea isn’t the only actress who has voiced these concerns. Previously, Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor told The Evening Standard that there are “not that many parts going” for women when she reads scripts compared to roles for men.&nbsp;

James Bond girl Léa Seydoux finds working in Europe easier, exposes Hollywood: It's harsh on women

David Cronenberg presents a unique vision of the future in his latest film 'Crimes of the Future' (no connection to his eponymous 1970 feature, except the grotesque things done to the human body). Even by Cronenberg's standards, 'Crimes of the Future' is a particulalry weird film. There is oodles of gore in the film with disturbing visuals like organs in a cut open belly, scalpel scraping the bone in a foot, heads being drilled into -- and it is all very disturbing --&nbsp;but there is a thematic depth here in 'Crimes of the Future' that keeps the film engaging even during the most disconcerting sections.

Unknown years into the future, the climate change that scientists have been warning us about for decades has struck with full force and has not only screwed up the vegetation and ecology, but also human bodies. Many people need the assistance of machines and computers to perform basic tasks like eating breakfast and having a sound sleep. However, the ability to feel pain has all but disappeared, and surgeries can now be performed without anesthetics. This has enabled the arrival of a new kind of performance art. It includes performers doing mutilations to their bodies like sewing up their eyes, which is rare these days but has become the norm in the seedy future 'Crimes of the Future' lays out.&nbsp;

Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) and Caprice (Léa Seydoux) are such performance artists. In their case, it means Saul uses his rare condition called “Accelerated Evolution Syndrome”, which keeps growing organs inside his body that may or may not be tumorous. The performance involves Caprice, a lapsed surgeon, cutting open Saul's abdomen and theatrically extracting it out as audiences watch with rapt attention. They refer to each other as just partners, but they live together and their relationship is erotically charged. In one scene, they lie together after cutting open different parts of each other's bodies. Their faces appear to have an after-sex glow. As one character says, surgery is the new sex.&nbsp;

'Crimes of the Future' does not have much of a plot and even character, and if that is all you look for in a movie, it is certainly not for you. If you have seen Cronenberg movies before, particularly those that came early on in his career, this film is like a return to that purity. But even more than those movies by the director, this film is less interested in the events than reflections on some challenging ideas. It is more of a sensory experience than anything else. A collection of philosophical musings by a filmmaker returning to the genre that he kicked off and that in turn made him so successful.&nbsp;

The cinematography (by Douglas Koch) and production design (by Carol Spier) paint a bleak world with muted colours like dun brown and ochre and even machines are not spick and span glittering metal things, but seem as though made out of fossilised bone. This is not the future most of us would wish live in, but from a distance, it seems alluring somehow.&nbsp;

Despite the gore and despite scenes of sexual practices that we from the year 2022 would call deviant (you never know what we might come to accept in the future), 'Crimes of the Future' is often a stunning film. A masterpiece.

'Crimes of the Future' review: An absolute masterpiece

'No Time To Die' star Lea Seydoux recently talked about her character Madeleine Swann and her relationship with James Bond. Daniel Craig last outing as James Bond movie is one more time delayed.&nbsp; 
 
While appearing on official James Bond Podcast, she talked about her movie and how it is different from other Daniel Bond movies, the 35-year-old said: ''I would say this is even more psychological and more emotional.'' 
 
The actress said that fans will see a completely new side to the agent in the long-awaited movie, as Bond settles down with his Swann after retiring from the spy world. ''I think that it’s also because of Bond and we needed to tell Bond’s story. I mean, it was important to see Bond in love again because he had this relationship with Vespa but she betrayed him,'' she says. 
 
''But this time I think she's the real love in a way, I think… the film is a love story. It's a story between the two of them, so it's very unusual for a Bond film to see James Bond in love, right? And I think it’s quite modern in a way.''

“In this film it’s even more psychological and more emotional and I think that it’s something that Daniel as James Bond created with this character, '' she adds. ''He created a character that is more vulnerable and who has flaws and I think that’s what we like as an audience and James Bond is indeed like a… it’s not real-world, right? But what we like is that in this world we can relate to the characters.'' 
 
The movie also stars Lashana Lynch, Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, and Ben Whishaw. The film was originally supposed to open in April, but postponed worldwide due to the pandemic. However, the James Bond movie is one been delayed and will finally hit theatres next year on April 2.&nbsp;
