Even Elysium’s director thinks his film is a mess – but a decade on, it deserves a second chance

Matt Damon runs around the US in 2154, when civil liberties are eroded, healthcare is for the rich and wealth inequality is soaring. But its sci-fi! Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email When director Neill Blomkamp followed up his acclaimed debut feature, District 9, with the cyberpunk dystopia Elysium in 2013, it was met with a resoundingly mediocre reception. It’s a movie that even Blomkamp has disavowed. “I fucked it up,” he said bluntly in a 2015 interview . But I think he’s too hard on himself: a decade on, Elysium might be worthy of re-appraisal. In 2154, Earth is an overpopulated, polluted dust bowl. The wealthy elite live on the luxurious space station Elysium, where they have access to advanced medical technology and other essentials denied to the surface population.

Timothée Chalamet was caught kissing a girl at Coachella

Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet does not waste time at Coachella: while other celebrities enjoy music and show off outfits, the Dune star spends time in the arms of a stranger. The Internet got a video in which 26-year-old Timothy kisses a mysterious brunette. Fans of Chalamet recognized the idol by the cap and sweater with red stains, which the actor was wearing that evening. The Hollywood Pipeline, which published the video, was unable to identify the celebrity's companion. At first, the fans decided that Timothy's new passion was influencer and model Sarah Talabi. The girl and her twin sister rested this weekend in the company of an actor who published a story on Instagram: "I spent the best time with the best people." The social networks also got pictures in which the star is dancing with one of the Talabi sisters. Despite the fact that in the Hollywood Pipeline video, the actor kisses a brunette (and the Talabi sisters are blondes), several American media wrote about Timothy's affair with Sarah at once. But the model refused to answer questions from journalists and advised the media to pay attention to climate problems. According to other sources, the popular model Cindy Kimberly (Wulf) may turn out to be Timothy's mysterious companion. Eyewitnesses from the festival claim that the star of the French Herald also flirted with her. Cindy became popular on social media when, in December 2015, Justin Bieber posted a photo of her on his profile and captioned it: "God, who is this girl?" While the press is wondering who owns the "glass shoe," Timothy's fans have launched their own trend on Twitter: girls write posts claiming that it was they who kissed Chalamet that evening at Coachella.
