The late director sided with the outsider and saw things in America no one else could see. His startling oeuvre changed film and television for everDavid Lynch, the director of Twin Peaks, Eraserhead and Blue Velvet, who has died at the age of 78, leaves behind the cinematic descriptor “Lynchian”, described in the Oxford English Dictionary as “juxtaposing surreal or sinister elements with the mundane” and “using compelling visual images to emphasise a dreamlike quality of mystery or menace”.Even this may not be enough for Lynch obsessives, for whom he was the ultimate countercultural outlier, the weirdo’s weirdo, who changed film and television for ever.

The first ever memoir by a living pope reveals a warm, emotionally intelligent man who loves football and ‘cutting-edge’ cinema – but skates over the more controversial parts of his careerPopes seldom lack a platform or a pulpit, so they have had little need to resort to autobiography to explain themselves.

It fully justifies its bold claim to be the first ever memoir by a living pope. Indeed, Francis’s Italian ghostwriter, the publisher Carlo Musso, reveals in a brief afterword that the original plan when the book was commissioned in 2019 was that it would not appear until after his death. So why the sudden urgency? Continue reading...

For a while it looked as though one of the most gifted songwriters of the 20th century would be permanently silenced.One day, though, the nurses caring for her at her home found Levitin’s number on a piece of paper in the kitchen, and called him.
