The once-idyllic mountain village of Chimney Rock, North Carolina, that was  immortalized on film including blockbusters The Last of the Mohicans and Dirty Dancing has been all but wiped out after being blasted by the floodwaters brought on by Hurricane Helene. 

The small village with a population of just 140 people, nestled in the heart of the state, sits beneath the towering cliffs of Chimney Rock State Park and had long attracted filmmakers for its breathtaking landscape. 

But now, the village, along with its pristine Lake Lure, lies in ruins and is full of debris brought on by the devastating floods that churned through the area this weekend.

A wall of water came rushing down the Broad River, wiping out most of the structures along Main Street in Chimney Rock and sending it into Lake Lure.

 The Rocky Broad River flows into Lake Lure and now overflowed the town with debris from Chimney Rock, North Carolina after heavy rains from Hurricane Helene

Only days earlier the lake was both pristine and the perfect place to go boating

People in and around Chimney Rock have described the village’s downtown as washed out. 

The normally pleasant stream that runs along Main Street was…

French filmmaker Frédéric Farrucci delivers an unflinching exploration of modern-day Corsica in The Mohican, blending elements of neo-Western cinema with the political tensions of land exploitation. The film serves as both a personal survival story and an allegory of resistance, with the landscape becoming a battleground where tradition confronts corruption.

At the heart of The Mohican is Joseph Cardelli (Alexis Manenti), one of the last remaining goatherds on the Corsican coast. Joseph’s land is coveted by local mafia figures eager to transform the picturesque coastline into luxury real estate. While the surrounding properties have already fallen into their grasp, Joseph remains the last holdout, though the mafia’s patience is wearing thin.

Initially, the pressure on Joseph comes in the form of seemingly polite, though persistent, offers to sell his land. When he refuses, the tone shifts, and the once amicable negotiations are replaced by more overt threats.

Farrucci deliberately stages the confrontation off-camera, building tension through implication rather than explicit violence. However, Joseph’s refusal and mishandled gun eventually forces him into a desperate flight, setting the stage for a cat-and-mouse chase through Corsica’s rugged terrain.

What begins as a pastoral social drama transforms into a suspenseful thriller, evoking echoes of The Fugitive, albeit with a distinctly Western flavor. Joseph’s frantic escape across the island upends the idyllic image of Corsica, exposing an undercurrent of violence that contrasts sharply with the holidaying French tourists who remain oblivious to the chaos.

As the pursuit intensifies, Joseph is drawn deeper into conflict, enlisting the help of an old friend and finding himself increasingly entangled with local criminal elements. The involvement…

We stumble upon Butch, possibly the last remaining iPhone liner-upper in the wild, and see what makes him tick.

The year was 2010. A young cub reporter named Mr. Sato, still fresh off the farmland of Shimane Prefecture, emerged from the east exit of the labyrinthine Shinjuku Station and met his new colleague for the first time. It was a young urbanite with long hair named Go Hatori, who about a decade later would become Mr. Sato’s editor.

The two dined at a nearby McDonald’s before Mr. Sato went off on one of his first assignments to wait in line for an iPhone 4 at the Softbank Store in Omotesando.

▼ Mr. Sato in 2010

After spending three nights on the sidewalk and enduring heavy rain, he ended up unable to purchase a phone because to do so he would have to switch providers from Docomo to Softbank and he couldn’t do that because he didn’t pay his Docomo bill.

Still, over that half a week, he learned that lining up for an iPhone was more than just being one of the first to own a piece of electronics. It was about challenging yourself and the sense of camaraderie that comes with being around those doing the same. In fact, this was when Mr. Sato and our website formed a long-lasting friendship with Butch a.k.a. Big Wave.

In the years that followed, Mr. Sato and Butch would both become regular fixtures on the iPhone line-up circuit, with Butch waiting in front of the Omotesando SoftBank and Mr. Sato haunting Docomo shops. They both became…

Household Hazardous Waste Day Still Going Strong in 25th Year

OTSEGO COUNTY—The Otsego County Planning and Solid Waste Department held its 25th Hazardous Waste Collection event Friday and Saturday, August 16 and 17.

On Friday morning, a satellite event was held in Unadilla at the Town Highway garage. Approximately 129 cars dropped off hazardous materials, officials reported.

The main event was held on Saturday at the Meadows Office Complex in the Town of Middlefield, with approximately 326 cars dropping off hazardous materials. A combined total of approximately 455 households took advantage of this free disposal program.

Hazardous wastes commonly found from around the home were collected throughout the day, including liquid and solid wastes such as pesticides, lubricants, paint, cleaning chemicals and solvents, flammable liquids, corrosive materials, and solid pesticide materials. The materials were received and packaged by MXI Environmental Services, the contracted vendor for the collection event.

This was the 13th year pharmaceuticals and medications were collected. According to a press release, Officer Timmy Card and Officer Mark Vencak from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation supervised the collection prior to the County Sheriff’s department transporting 860 pounds to Oswego County for incineration.

Other items were collected for local processing, including approximately 1,900 pounds of automotive batteries and 2,000 pounds of household batteries.

The success of the collection event can be credited to the assistance of the Otsego County Conservation Association, which helps to organize volunteers, the Town of Unadilla, the Otsego County Highway Department, Otsego County Building Services, Otsego County Emergency Services, the Otsego County Sheriff’s Office, NYSDEC, and the efficiency of the crew from MXI Environmental Services.

Hazardous Waste Collection Day is an annual public service provided by the Otsego County Board of Representatives. NYSDEC provides approximately half the funds to cover the costs of…

Cineuropa: Where did the desire to make this film in Corsica come from?
Frédéric Farrucci: In 2017, I directed a documentary about a shepherd on the South coast of Corsica that was meant to evoke his profession and his family history. But these questions were expelled little by little and the discussion turned to an anxiety that wouldn’t leave him: his goats would pass through this place where all these things that make tourism buzz could be built. He was afraid and he’d say that he was “the last of the Mohicans” because he wouldn’t be able to pass on the farm to his sons, that it would be a poisoned chalice. From that reality, I wanted to extrapolate these fears and to stage this situation. I’m Corsican and I also had the desire to go work on that territory that questions and troubles me. The level of real estate speculation is rather high in Corsica and there is a Mafia influence on part of the territory linked in particular to the coast and to tourism.
