How bad is your drive to win? And what if you’re not playing the same game as your opponent? Challengers follows three ambitious tennis players: best friends Patrick (Josh O’Connor) and Art (Mike Faist), and rising star Tashi (Zendaya). When the two boys meet Tashi for the first time, they are adolescent wrecks, both instantaneously lust struck. It’s a libidinous spark that will affect the trio for the rest of their lives, as cocksure Patrick and more reserved Art decide to simultaneously pursue her. She promises to give her phone number to whoever wins the next match. Game on, as the on-court...

French filmmaker Laurent Cantet, who won the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 2008 for his school-set film Entre Les Murs (The Class), died on Thursday aged 63. "He died this morning in Paris of an illness," his agent Isabelle de la Patelliere told AFP. The Class is based on the novel of the same name by François Bégaudeau and is a semi-autobiographical account of his experience as a teacher in Paris’ diverse 20th arrondissement of Paris. Bégaudeau also starred in the film. It is both moving and at times wonderfully humorous portrait of precious idealism in the classroom – and doubly impressive conside...

Weeks after it was published in its entirety in the US, Australian actress Rebel Wilson’s memoir “Rebel Rising” has hit bookshelves today in the UK - with redacted passages about her experience working with Sacha Baron Cohen. “We are publishing every page, but for legal reasons, in the U.K. edition, we are redacting most of one page with some other small redactions and an explanatory note,” publisher HarperCollins told The Guardian in a statement. “Those sections are a very small part of a much bigger story.” The explanatory note says the redaction has been made "due to the peculiarities of th...

Alex Garland wants us to think about the imagery of war. The writer and director behind Euronews Culture's Film of the Week Civil War brings his imagery of a wartorn USA to the screen not through the moralistic firebrand narrative of revolutionary soldiers, nor from the painful perspective of innocent victims. Instead, Civil War follows journalists. Specifically, war correspondents with photojournalist Lee Smith (Kirsten Dunst) in the lead role. Lee is from a laconic old guard of photojournalists. She’s travelled around the world capturing images of humanity at its more wrought, raw, and worst...

As you may have heard, The TayTay Supremacy continues, with Swift’s surprise double album having landed almost a week ago. Since then, ride-or-die fans have been combing through the lyrics of ‘ The Tortured Poets Department ’ to find every easter egg to add to an ever-expanding lore; countless op-eds have been published dedicated to whether Swift has lost it; and some mildly tortured Swifties like myself continue to bemoan the overblown cultural stranglehold the singer continues to exert through her hyperproductivity, waking up to the fact that oversaturation is near - especially when she coul...

Reviews are in for Back to Black, the new Amy Winehouse biopic from director Sam Taylor-Johnson. While very few outlets are adorning it with five stars, opinions have varied wildly with some giving it credit as a moderately enjoyable music film as others slam it a consecration of the singer’s memory. The dividing factor between these two approaches: what does a film based on a real person owe them? Why are artists dropping out of The Great Escape music festival - and how is Barclays bank involved?Quentin Tarantino scraps his final film ‘The Movie Critic’ - what’s next for the director?From the...

Another week, another round-up of exciting things to see, do and listen to this week around Europe. Obviously, the big one - for Swifties at least - is Taylor's new album, 'The Tortured Poets Department' (more on that below), but there's also a number of new exhibitions and events covering everything from AI art to embroidered tears. Another notable event is the Venice Biennale, which returns for its 60th edition and examines ideas of nationhood, belonging and foreignness under the theme 'Foreigners Everywhere.’ __\Record scratch*__* \\\- if you're reading this on 20 April, it's also [__Record...

In the near future, the United States isn’t so united anymore. At the heart of the country’s second civil war is a president (Nick Offerman, in non-distractingly Trumpian mode), who refuses to leave the White House. The Fascist-in-Chief has given himself a third term, disbanded the FBI, and used air strikes against American citizens. All for ego. Sound eerily probable? Writer-director Alex Garland (Sunshine, Ex Machina, Annihilation) is counting on it. To a point though, as he keeps things deliberately vague. What we know is carefully drip-fed to us. California and Texas have joined forces to ...
