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 ...

After The Shooting For Rust, Alec Baldwin Has Stated That His Family Is What Kept Him Alive

-
After the aftermath of the accidental shooting that occurred on the set of "Rust" in October 2021, Alec Baldwin expressed his gratitude to his family for keeping him alive over the last year. The former star of "30 Rock," who recently welcomed his seventh kid with wife Hilaria Baldwin, made a passing reference to the disaster in an Instagram post he published on Monday. He is 64 years old. Over the past year, my heart has been crushed a thousand times. In the spinning post's description, Alec said, "things in my life may never be the same again." There will be a great deal of transition. But it was my family that made sure I didn't pass away. They are the reason I get out of bed every morning. And also @hilariabaldwin, he said, perhaps referring to the report that he may be subject to criminal charges in connection with the incident. In Alec's post, there were multiple photographs of his growing family, including his nine-year-old daughter Carmen, his seven-year-old son Rafael, his five-year-old son Leonardo, his four-year-old son Romeo, and his one-year-old daughter Lucia. These young people. They were all born in the year 212. Same hospital. The first four in this room together. He said the last three were in the same building but in a different room. The actor also reshared a message first published by his wife, in which they posted the joyous news that they had welcomed a new member to the Baldwinito family in the form of a girl called Ilaria Catalina Irena. She has arrived! Our little dream has finally come true, and we can't wait to share it with you... We are both contents and in good physical shape. Her Baldwinito siblings devote the day to getting to know her better and making her feel at home in our family. Hilaria, age 38, is the author. A lot of love to each of you. We are delighted to share this fantastic news with you, and we can't wait to do so. Even if the birth of Ilaria puts Hilaria into a mom of seven, Alec Baldwin is now a father of eight because he shares custody of his daughter Ireland Baldwin, who is 26 years old, with his ex-wife Kim Basinger.

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...
