Fantaisie review – study of a modern Ophelia swamped by audiovisual overwhelm

-
Isabel Pagliai’s film introduces her central character Louise with a thrillingly eclectic blend of handheld footage and cascades of still images Reminiscent of a dark fairytale, Isabel Pagliai’s feature debut conjures a multitude of thresholds, lingering somewhere between documentary and fiction, dream and reality. Louise, the young woman at the centre of this beguiling film, is a mirage of a character; introduced in fragments, we first hear her lilting lamentations against a darkened screen. This is followed by closeups of a yellow notebook, in which her fears and desires overflow on every page, as they are read out by a mysterious, unseen man. When Louise finally materialises on screen, her everyday existence unfurls over deceptively mundane episodes. Through these sequences, Pagliai builds a fascinating tension between the stillness of the compositions and Louise’s agitated psyche. She is often seen in darkness, her face lit by the glow of various screen devices that flicker with ...

Kylie Jenner Responds To Troll Who Mocked Her Lips

-
One fan discovered on her own that Kylie Jenner is honest about her lip enhancements, admitting when she had had work done and defending herself when she hadn't when the Kardashians star responded to the user's social media insult. The 25-year-old former KKW Beauty model and Stassie Karanikolaou, her best friend, uploaded a video to TikTok on Saturday, August 21. With Jenner's "Favorite" by Ciara playing in the background, the buddies, who were both rockings fitted black tops and huge lips, posed for photos prom-style. The founder of Kylie Cosmetics retaliated with a comment of her own after someone responded, "The lips, please," along with the emojis for sweating, grimacing, and a skull. The rest of the reality star's 2 million followers responded to her clap back in the remarks area, so her reaction wasn't lost on them. "It's the filter, but turn it off." After that, I'd weep myself to sleep," commented one supporter. Another person responded, perhaps defending the first, saying, "'It's the filter but go off like they don't look the same without the filter too. Jenner's vehement response to her detractors is merely the most recent in a series. Earlier this month, the inventor of Kylie Skin attacked makeup artist Kevin James Bennett for allegedly failing to wear the required protective gear while she was in the Kylie Cosmetics lab and "gaslighting followers" in the process. Because I'm calling out their cosmetic queen, I know the Kardashian/Jenner stans will come after me. But WTF @kyliejenner," the beauty expert said on August 5 in response to Jenner's Instagram post that showed her wearing a lab coat and using Kylie Cosmetics products. "As a part of my profession as a cosmetic developer, I collaborate with cosmetic manufacturers and their labs. I have never been permitted to enter a lab or a manufacturing floor without a hair net, shoe covers, a mask, and disposable GLOVES.

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...
