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 ...

Cara Delevingne Wore Sensual And Stylish Pieces From The Newly Released Cara Loves Karl Collection At Paris Fashion Week

-
Cara Delevingne, 30, attended the Cara Loves Karl celebration held during the Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday. However, this month, during New York Fashion Week, she could not attend an event honoring her collaboration with the late fashionista Karl Lagerfeld. Delevingne commemorated the event by donning a seductive oversized tuxedo jacket that featured a web belt wrapped around her neck and Lagerfeld's name. She also wore a belt that matched the one wrapped around her waist. A pair of knee-high black boots was the finishing touch for the model's ensemble. On Tuesday morning, Cara Delevingne posted a photo carousel to her Instagram account, in which she rocked yet another look from the Cara x Karl collaboration. This chic outfit consisted of a black blazer, black slacks that matched the blazer, and classic heels with pointy toes. She opted not to wear a top under her blazer to highlight the deep V-cut in the latter's collar. In the previous month, Delevingne made the collection's debut announcement. She explained her reasoning to Vogue then, saying that she did not want the items to be constrained by gender conventions. She stated that she had never understood how gender might be used to define clothing before. Therefore, it was essential to me that the collection not simply be unisex but also genderless. Delevingne continued by saying that we have spent the better of the past few years working together on this project. I do not doubt that [Karl] would be pleased with the work we have produced and the manner in which we have produced it. We have avoided dictating who should wear our designed items, instead allowing the wearer to decide what the fashion ultimately becomes. During an interview with Grazia USA, she also discussed her close friendship with Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away in February 2019. She recounted the day they met at a Chanel fashion show. She did this in light of Lagerfeld's passing earlier this year.

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...
