South Korean President Lee Jae-myung proposed talks with North Korea to formally end the long-running Korean War, as Pyongyang deepens ties with Russia while asserting its status as an “irreversible” nuclear state. The two Koreas remain technically at war because their 1950-53 conflict, triggered by a North Korean attack, ended with an armistice rather than a peace treaty. Lee made the proposal in his speech at a ceremony marking the anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japan’s 1910-45 colonial rule. “Let us put down our intentions to threaten each other and begin discussions to end the long-running war as the directly…
On Saturdays, we go deep on one song we’ve never reviewed before. This week, we journey back to an inescapable 2011 party anthem, a canonical track that made stars out of Tyga and DJ Mustard.

If you flip through the Guía México Gastronómico — an annual 200-page book that maps a flavorful constellation of Mexico’s most delicious restaurants, from the northernmost corner of Baja California to the southernmost point of Chiapas — you’ll find it: Múcara. Off the page, the restaurant is located on a steep, narrow road in the historic center of Xalapa, Veracruz, tucked away — somewhat inconspicuously — between a comic shop, a tamalería, apartments, cafés and bars crammed with college students. It’s easy to miss. In fact, if you were to pass by for the first time, you’d likely skip right…
The death-and-taxes certainty of Hong Sangsoo‘s filmography — comparable to Woody Allen’s prime career run in its regularity, consistency and recurrence of ideas and actors across a gently varying tonal spectrum — has lately been infused with some mild unpredictability. Earlier this year, his Berlinale premiere “The Day She Returns” continued an occasional experimental jag in which story and imagery alike are left out of focus; the forbidding title “Nowhere to Lay My Eyes” might hint at more of the same. Instead, the director’s 35th feature is as classically and welcomingly Hong as it gets: a brief, bittersweet comedy of…
You would think two Emmy nominations for leading roles in the same year would make the actor Matthew Rhys feel very secure in himself and his career. But as I learned in our conversation, you would be wrong.Rhys, 51, grew up in Wales, then trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, struggled through years of Hollywood fits and starts and first appeared on my radar as the conflicted Soviet spy Philip Jennings in “The Americans” — one of the great shows of the 2010s. In addition to giving a beautifully rendered and critically celebrated performance in that…

Sargassum is beginning to recede from Quintana Roo beaches after peaking in June and July, but the Mexican Caribbean remains on track for one of its worst years on record. The decline began this month and should become more pronounced in September and October, Esteban Amaro Mauricio, hydrobiologist and director of the Quintana Roo Sargassum Monitoring Network, said this week. The arrival of the seaweed has been erratic, however. Tulum and Mahahual still have major accumulations while Playa del Carmen has seen less. Puerto Morelos, recently clear, received a significant influx this week. At the beginning of this month, 30…
