Mark Kermode on… Kathryn Bigelow, a stylish ruffler of feathers

-
From vampire noir to Bin Laden, Point Break to Detroit, the first woman to win an Oscar for best director has never pulled her punches Watching new Jeff Nichols release The Bikeriders , starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy as 60s Chicago greasers, I was reminded of two other movies: László Benedek’s 1953 Marlon Brando vehicle The Wild One , explicitly cited as an inspiration, and The Loveless , the 1981 feature debut of Kathryn Bigelow , the American film-maker (b.1951) who would go on to become the first woman to win a best director Oscar with her 2008 war drama The Hurt Locker . A symphony of leather-clad posing (with just a touch of Kenneth Anger ), The Loveless was a staple of the late-night circuit in the 80s, often on a double bill with David Lynch’s Eraserhead . Sharing directing credits with Monty Montgomery, Bigelow playfully deconstructed masculinity and machismo in a manner that was one part wry to two parts relish. I remember seeing The Loveless at the Phoenix in East

-

Riteish Deshmukh will reunite with his wife Genelia D’Souza for Ved but it will be the first time where the real-life married couple will be seen together as the leads in a Marathi film. While this film is special for many reasons for the Deshmukhs, another exciting thing is the cameo by Salman Khan. We all know that Riteish shares a great bond with Khan and now superstar will be seen in a special dance number with his B-town buddy in this remake of Majili.

Salman Khan shares a glimpse of his cameo in Ved; showcases his dance moves with Ritiesh Deshmukh

Sharing a glimpse of it on social media, Salman Khan featured in his quintessential ‘tapori’ style with the Bhai swagger that will definitely remind you of Radhe from Wanted. The teaser of the song, which seems to be titled ‘Ved Lavlay’, shows off Salman and Riteish Deshmukh clinging their drink glasses that are placed in their back pocket and it seems that these full-on typical Khan moves have won the hearts of Bhai fans. Posting about it on his Instagram page, Salman said, “Bhau cha birthday aahe - @riteishd Gift to Banta hai. Enjoy #vedlavlay #ved30dec @geneliad”.

Fans, who came across the post, couldn’t stop gushing about the Khan swagger, as one of them commented, “Glass in pocket... it's really Salman Khan's style”. Yet another fan said, “East or West Bhai is the best.” Another user added, “Bhai ka apna style hai… sabse alag… awesome”, whereas one of the users mentioned, “The best gift we can say”. Many fans poured their excitement as they are eagerly awaiting the release of the song.

While Bhai fans would be aware that Salman Khan’s birthday is on December 27, Ved is expected to be one of the last releases of 2022, as the film hits the big screen on December 30. Starring Genelia D’Souza, Riteish Deshmukh, and Jiya Shankar, the film is a remake of the Telugu blockbuster Majili (2019), which originally featured Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya.

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd
