When the biographical drama "Love & Mercy" about the life of Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson hit cinemas in 2014, it ruffled some feathers, particularly those of Beach Boys frontman Mike Love. Love quipped that Disney should have made the film, calling it a fairy tale. Fast forward 10 years and irony has had the last laugh. The 83-year-old, along with Wilson and other band members, collaborated on a documentary film about the Beach Boys. It was produced by Disney. Titled "The Beach Boys," the film debuts on the Disney+ streaming service on May 24. It promises to be a vibrant celebration of ...

Anora, Sean Baker’s latest film following 2021's Cannes-premiering Red Rocket, is a raucous blast - a kinetic New York City screwball comedy that shares the chaotic energy of the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems and disguises a darker heart. It’s a knockout. Tempting though it is to finish the review there, with the added substantial bonus that Baker makes Take That co-exist with t.A.T.u. (don’t pretend you’re not sold on this by now), here’s some context. The title character, an exotic dancer and sometime escort who prefers to be called Ani (Mikey Madison), works in a strip club in Manhattan. Bein...

Five, six, grab your crucifix - and Robert Smith, because World Goth Day has arrived. First suggested on a MySpace blog in 2009 by a UK-based Goth DJ known as 'BatBoy Slim', Goth Day has since become a global annual celebration where "the Goth scene gets to celebrate it's own being." via GIPHY While most Goths prefer to stay out of the spotlight (unless carrying a black parasol), World Goth Day keeps things lowkey, with some events taking place later on. The 22 May date was originally chosen to highlight a special set of musical subculture-focused shows on BBC Radio 6, then stuck ever since. A...

Cannes (France) (AFP) - Sebastian Stan immersed himself 24/7 in Donald Trump's early life to research the new biopic "The Apprentice" -- and came to an unexpected realisation. "A lot of the behaviour and the personality is much more relatable than we want to admit," said the Hollywood star, who has won critical acclaim for his uncanny performance. The film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, has drawn huge controversy and legal threats from the ex-president, particularly for a scene in which Trump is shown raping his wife. But much of the film portrays a younger Trump as a nervous, n...

Cannes (France) (AFP) - The director of an explosive biopic that shows Donald Trump raping his wife defended the controversial scene on Tuesday, telling AFP the alleged incident is "well known" and explains the ex-president's character. "The Apprentice", which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, traces Trump's origins as an ambitious young property developer in 1970s and 1980s New York. Donald Trump's team has vowed to sue the producers, calling it "garbage" and "pure malicious defamation". The most controversial scene is that of Trump raping his first wife, Ivana, after she belittles him f...

What – or who – turned young real-estate executive Donald Trump into the tangerine menace who just refuses to go away? This is the question that drives Ali Abbasi’s English-language debut The Apprentice – a conventional but compelling biopic scripted by journalist Gabriel Sherman, which focuses on the formative years of the man who would one day worm himself into the White House. We meet The Donald (Sebastian Stan) in a Manhattan club, where he attempts to impress his date by listing some of the guests there. He’s awkward, out-of-his-depth, and crippled with daddy issues, struggling to make a ...

After her impressive calling card in 2017 with the bloody and candy-coloured Revenge, Coralie Fargeat has clearly been brushing up on her body horror. And she did not come to Cannes to play gently. There isn’t anything in the French writer-director’s second film, The Substance, that hasn’t been addressed before. The fear of aging – specifically how Hollywood’s obsession with beauty leads to the ruthless system discarding female talent the second they’re “past it” - has been seen in countless films. However, Fargeat executes it with a merciless precision that out-Cronenbergs Cronenberg. She wil...
