92 minutes ago The Crime Is Mine review – François Ozon’s 1930s crime comedy is a moreish crowdpleaser

Ozon and a stellar cast serve up an entertaining, if shallow caper that shades a little too close to #MeTooFrançois Ozon has directed plenty of complex, demanding and serious dramas: Everything Went Fine, Summer of 85 and By the Grace of God, along with adaptations of Fassbinder. But he also has a sweet tooth for breezy, silly, crowd-pleasing theatrical comedies like this one (which does however appear to contain a Fassbinder reference, if you look hard enough).

Coach could have done with drawing a line under staffing reshuffle but his backroom team still remains up in the airAt first glance it was a low-key sort of day at the stadium formerly known as Twickenham. The weather was unseasonably warm for mid-October and a sleepy fox was snoozing on the porch of a temporary building in the north car park. Inside England duly announced a wholly predictable squad, almost as if Steve Borthwick was doing his best to avoid stealing any of Thomas Tuchel’s thunder.Borthwick also politely knocked back the invitation to pass on any tips to the incoming German – “he has plenty of experience in English sport already” – beyond matter-of-factly quoting the well-known stat about international teams with homegrown coaches doing better in major tournaments. He pre...
