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

Bigg Boss 17: Aishwarya Sharma breaks down after Salman Khan condemns her behaviour towards Neil Bhatt; accuses Neil Bhatt of ‘shouting at her at home’

-

Bigg Boss 17 contestants Aishwarya Sharma annd Neil Bhatt had a major fight in the BB house earlier this week and it seems that during the recent Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan addressed the issue. In fact, the superstar host condemned Sharma for disrespecting Neil and schooled her for her behaviour towards her partner. However, followed by these events, Aishwarya confronted Neil and accused him of showcasing a different side to the camera on the show.

Salman Khan told Aishwarya Sharma to control her behaviour towards Neil Bhatt and warned her saying, “Kitna patience aap iska try karogi? Ek din ye phatega, aur aap pe phatega. (Don’t try his patience. He will burst and he will burst on you)”. Although Neil defended Aishwarya, Salman continued to address her attitude problem and even went on to advise her to seek professional help if needbe. “If this is your attitude then you should seriously seek help and if this doesn't help them there are professionals too to help you with anger management," he added and elaborated that he is advising based on personal experiences.

Followed by this schooling session, Aishwarya Sharma confronted Neil Bhatt and said that his behaviour changes in front of the camera. “Main dekh liya tera, tu ghar pe alag hai, here you are totally different. Ghar pe tum mujhpe chillate nahi ho(I can see that you are different at home and different here. Don’t you shout at me at home)? Don't we fight? Yahan pe tu chup ho jata hai because cameras hai (You are quiet here because of the cameras). It is looking like that outside that I am the only villain. Mereko pata hain tu yahi karega, cameras dekhke tu conscious ho jaata hai (I knew you would do this, you become conscious in front of the camera). Further, Aishwarya also revealed that he does this during interviews and she is herself, because of which his image comes across differently. She further went on to cry and wondered what her in-laws would be perceiving of her after looking at all this.

Although Neil tried to calm her down, Aishwarya continued to accuse Neil of changing himself for the show.

Bigg Boss 17 airs from Monday to Friday at 10 pm as well as on Saturdays and Sundays at 9 pm on Colors.

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
