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 ...

Brad Pitt And Emily Ratajkowski Have Been Seen Together Quite Frequently

-
According to the insider, the 58-year-old Bullet Train actor and the 31-year-old model are seeing each other rather frequently. Friends aren't sure if it's serious, though, and the two don't seem to be dating officially, the source adds. An instant response from Ratajkowski's representative was not given to PEOPLE's request for clarification. Ratajkowski filed for separation from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in Manhattan Supreme Court earlier this month, as revealed by court documents obtained by Page Six. The couple had been married for four years. According to the media site, the divorce application was contested, which means the couple has not yet agreed on the divorce's conditions. An insider close to Ratajkowski told PEOPLE in July that the couple had split up. They recently broke up. The choice was made by Em. She seems to be holding up reasonably well. She's a strong mom whose sole concern is the well-being of her child. The insider told PEOPLE at the time that she enjoys her role as a mother. After the model was spotted doing errands without her wedding ring in July, Page Six reported that split rumors were circulating. Additionally, she did not feature it in any of her summer Instagram posts. In 2018, the pair were first romantically linked after they were caught engaging in public displays of affection on Valentine's Day. Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard married in a secret ceremony at New York City Hall later that month after barely a short courtship. According to PEOPLE's prior reporting, a source close to Pitt has stated that the actor is "living his best life" despite his ongoing legal problems with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. When all of Brad's children are in Los Angeles, he hosts a family dinner for them. The kids are at an age where they can develop their own interests and social circles. According to the source in July, Brad's friendship with them is still strong.

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...
