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 ...

Wearing Sparkly Flip Flops And Socks, Kanye West Attends The Burberry Show

-
The 24-time Grammy winner wore a pair of flip-flops with blinged-out straps and black socks while she attended the Burberry spring 2023 show during London Fashion Week. The show was held in London. West, 45 years old, completed the outfit by donning identical leather trousers and a belted jacket, all of which he wore on top of a black hooded sweatshirt. Even though he wasn't the only one wearing flip-flops, Burberry's ready-to-wear collection was packed with the summer shoe styled in various colors and cuts. Ye wasn't the only one wearing flip-flops, but he was one of the most stylish. Despite this, West's footwear generated discussion across the internet, which he furthered by posting a meme-like closeup of his footwear on his Instagram Story. He captioned the shot with the phrase, "Don't talk to me." Additionally, the Bound 2 rapper was spotted sitting front row and mingling backstage with the chief creative officer of the British label, Riccardo Tisci, as well as supermodels Naomi Campbell and Bella Hadid, who both walked the show on Monday. West's attendance at the highly anticipated show comes in the wake of his recurrent feuds inside the fashion business, including one with GAP. According to The Wall Street Journal, on September 15, Kanye West told the brand that YEEZY LLC was ending their collaboration. The notification came in a letter that accused the retail juggernaut of breaching their agreement by not producing apparel or opening planned retail shops. The attorneys for YEEZY and Gap did not immediately reply to PEOPLE's request for a comment on the matter. The Donda artist has also responded to Adidas by frequently calling out the sportswear brand via social media. His comments can be found here. The disagreement started in May after the launch of the Adilette 22 sandals, which are quite similar to West's Yeezy slides. Both pairs of sandals are offered in neutral tones, feature a hefty slide sandal shape, and are priced in a comparable range.

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...
