Cristian Mungiu came to prominence for a film about life under an anti-abortion dictatorship. His latest film, “Fjord,” exposes the intolerance of the liberal, secular West. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

America has never been more diverse, but a genre associated with an older, whiter, more rural America is dominating the charts. I explain why for @nytopinion nytimes.com/2026/09/13/opini…
