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 ...

Sheriffs Claim That Alcohol Was Not A Factor In Scott Disick’s Car Accident, In Which His Car Flipped Due To Speeding

-
The 39-year-old Kardashians star was involved in an altercation on Sunday, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Information Bureau. Deputies from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station were called to the scene. As soon as they arrived, authorities "contacted Scott Disick, the driver, and the only other person in the car." Alcohol was not a factor, the announcement said, adding that speed was the main reason for the traffic crash. "Mr. Disick had only minor, non-life-threatening wounds and chose not to get medical help. After requesting that his car be hauled away, he was picked up from the scene by family members." When asked for comment, Disick's representative did not answer right away to PEOPLE. The accident news was first reported by TMZ. The Flip It Like Disick actor was involved in the crash while operating a Lamborghini SUV, the news source said. Mason, 12, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 7, are the children of Disick and his ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian. The Poosh founder, 43, married Travis Barker in Italy in May. Disick wasn't "taking it well," a source had previously claimed of Kardashian's marriage to Barker. To distract himself from it, the insider stated, "He's hanging out with friends." Despite knowing what was about to happen, it was difficult for him to process and digest. The most recent long-term ex of Disick, Sofia Richie, just became engaged to Elliot Grainge. The soon-to-wed couple is "a perfect match for each other," according to an insider. Meanwhile, Rebecca Donaldson, a model, was most recently mentioned in connection with Disick. The couple made their red carpet debut at the premiere of The Kardashians season 1 in April, but E! News afterward reported that they had split up. In a previous post, The former member of the Kardashian family, 38, shared several images of his three children, Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7, on his Instagram Story on Tuesday.

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...
