2 d. ago Film Club: Aimee Lou Wood’s fantastical romcom is part Mike Leigh, part cosy family sitcom

The White Lotus star is an agoraphobic movie lover who puts on elaborate immersive screenings in her garage in this sweet tale of longing, anxiety and family bickering. But is it believable?I’m not sure where Aimee Lou Wood – the Stockport-born star of Sex Education and The White Lotus – got the idea for Film Club (Tuesday 7 October, 10pm, BBC Three), the new drama she has created with fellow actor Ralph Davis, but I’d be amazed if it’s drawn from her own life. Not because the fearlessly outspoken global celebrity plays a woman too scared to set foot outside her mum’s house in Manchester following a nervous breakdown, her only respite being a weekly movie night with uni friends in the garage. No. It’s the garage itself.Each week, unemployed, agoraphobic Evie somehow finds the wherewithal to transform her garage into a spectacular film set. For a screening of Alien, this one-woman Secret Cinema wallpapers it with tinfoil and hazard tape and fills it with smoke, strip lights...

3 w. ago ‘Neutrality should not be an option’: why are so many artists now speaking out on Gaza?

Musician Brian Eno and artist Malak Mattar, key figures in next week’s Together for Palestine concert, explain why artists are putting fears of a backlash aside and uniting in the call for actionA red carpet event, especially one to promote the new Downton Abbey film, is not typically a place for radical political statements. But at the film’s premiere in London earlier this month, that movie’s star, Hugh Bonneville, spoke out about Gaza. “Before I talk about the fluff and loveliness of our wonderful film, what’s about to happen in Gaza City is absolutely indefensible,” he announced to a visibly shocked showbiz reporter. “The international community must do more to bring it to an end.”Bonneville’s words may have been surprising for some, but they’re actually part of a larger pattern of actors, musicians, artists and cultural figures who feel increasingly moved to speak out.
