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 ...

Despite The Fact That Michele Morrone And Khloé Kardashian Appeared In A Quite Suggestive Photo Together Recently, The Two Are Not Dating

-
A representative for the 365 Days star has confirmed to Page Six that Michele Morrone is not currently dating Khloé Kardashian. Morrone, 31, and the reality tv star, 38, became acquainted for the first time this weekend during Kim Kardashian's Dolce & Gabbana Ciao, Kim show at Milan Fashion Week. The D&G PR team only requested that the Italian heartthrob, who resides in Milan and is presently single, take a photo with Khloé, and both parties complied with the request. The Italian hunk is currently single. According to what we've been informed, Morrone thought Khloé was "really sweet," but that was the limit of their encounters with one another. In the titillating photograph, Morrone can be seen throwing his arm around Khloé's waist as he pulls her body into his, with his eyes closed the entire time. While this was going on, the co-founder of Good American wore a figure-hugging bodysuit and slicked her hair back into a bun. She hid her eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses and glanced at the ground below her. Following Khloé's breakup with her on-again, off-again ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson, fans expressed passionate support for a potential romance between Morrone and Khloé after a photo of the two of them engaging in flirtatious behavior leaked online. One user of TikTok remarked that they look so nice together, while another user added that HE WOULD TREAT HER SO WELL. Others pointed the finger at Khloé's former boyfriend, an NBA star, who cheated on her multiple times throughout their lengthy relationship. Thompson, who is now 31 years old and has a daughter, True, who is four years old, and a newborn son with Khloé, made news for the fact that he fathered a child with another woman while he and Khloé were still together. Someone heard Tristan wailing off in the distance. One individual wrote "Yasss Kokoooo," while another claimed, "This is the most significant improvement I've ever encountered in my life."

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...
