The Blood Countess review – Isabelle Huppert reigns supreme in a surreal vampire fantasia

-
Vienna turns into a playground of camp, cruelty and aristocratic disdain in a blackly comic take on the Báthory legend – with Huppert gloriously suited to the title role From the dark heart of central Europe comes a midnight-movie romp through the moonlit urban glades of Euro-goth and camp from German director Ulrike Ottinger. As for the star … well, it’s the part she was born to play. Isabelle Huppert is Countess Elizabeth Báthory, 16th-century Hungarian noblewoman and serial killer, legendary for having the blood of hundreds of young girls on her hands and indeed her body, in an attempt to attain eternal youth. The “blood countess” has been variously played in the past by Ingrid Pitt, Delphine Seyrig, Paloma Picasso, Julie Delpy and many more, but surely none were as qualified as Huppert who importantly does not modify her habitual hauteur one iota for the role. Her natural aristocratic mien and cool hint of elegant contempt were never so well matched with a part. She gives us the ...

Before The Release Of Her New Album, Beyonce Gave The Audience A Fascinating Insight Into All Three Of The Children She Has With Her Longtime Spouse Jay-Z

-
Beyoncé said a few weeks earlier that Renaissance, her brand-new album, was getting ready to be released. The singer then released a rather blunt poster, which was sure to draw the attention of fans. A new tune that the star shared at the same time immediately shot to the top of the Tiktok trends. But until July 28, there was no subsequent full-fledged effort. The official website of Beyoncé underwent a significant redesign the day before the album's release. It now has fresh images that cannot be categorized as modest. The celebrity posed for this promo in sassy ensembles that highlighted her feminine curves in each frame. Here are photos, including the glittering bodysuit that thrilled fans and shots wearing sultry corsets and stockings. In general, you can go through the newest images from the promo indefinitely. By the way, despite the album's official release date being set for July 29, the song was leaked online the day before. Some of the singer's followers have speculated that she did it to highlight him. We're not sure whether this is true; more PR efforts are most definitely not required with such tasty photos. Beyoncé surprised her fans in June by revealing that new music would be released the following month. On July 21, the former member of Destiny's Child released the tracklist for her seventh album, which includes songs like "I'm That Girl," "Cozy," "Alien Superstar," and others. When she stated in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in August 2021 that she felt "a renaissance emerging," Queen B previously made a hint to the name of her future release. According to the lyricist, "With all the unfairness and isolation over the past year, I think we are all eager to leave, explore, fall in love, and laugh once again.... So, in every manner I can, I want to contribute to the growth of that escape.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
