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 ...

Kim Kardashian Brought Her Family To Milan To See Her Debut Collection With Dolce & Gabbana, Titled “Ciao, Kim

-
The Ciao, Kim collection that the SKIMS founder, age 41, and Dolce & Gabbana collaborated on made its debut at the Italian fashion house's show in Milan on Friday. The SKIMS founder's mother, Kris Jenner, sister Khloé Kardashian, and Kim's three oldest children, North, 9, Chicago, 4, and Saint, 6, sat in the front row to watch the show. North and Chicago sported silver outfits for the important occasion, whereas Saint sported an all-black ensemble for the event. Kim's children wore their best Dolce attire for the occasion. Chicago wore a long-sleeved black dress like the one that her aunt Khloé wore, which was embellished with a bustier outline covered with jewels. North looked stylish in a metallic silver tank that she wore over a white t-shirt, which she teamed with matching slacks, sophisticated silver sunglasses, and various glittering accessories. North also had a lot of dazzling accessories to go along with her appearance. Saint went for a more laid-back style by donning a black t-shirt and matching pants, along with a pair of black slides and a gold cross necklace. During the summer, North was there to cheer on her mother as she made her debut on the runway, modeling Balenciaga's 51st Couture Collection presentation during Paris Couture Fashion Week. North was also there to show her support for her. North made an appearance at the event displaying the grunge aesthetic that has become her trademark. She wore chunky steel-toe Hardcrocs by Balenciaga together with a ripped Balenciaga Speed Hunters hoodie, tattered denim trousers worn over sweatpants, and Balenciaga's hefty hard cross. In addition, she wore two hefty necklaces; one spelled out her name and was one of her accessories. At the beginning of this year, the aspiring fashionista was in charge of styling all her siblings for an appearance in the March issue of Vogue alongside their mother. Kim's former partner Kanye West is the father of her children, North and Chicago, and her sons Saint and Psalm, who are three years old.

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...
