2 d. ago Gérard Depardieu trial finally gives France its #MeToo moment

Actor’s week in court seen as turning point as French film industry has been slow to take abuse claims seriouslyWhen the actor Gérard Depardieu took the stand at his sexual assault trial in Paris this week, it was seen as a turning point for the #MeToo movement in France.As a parliamentary commission examines why the French film industry has been slow – even resistant – to take women’s claims of abuse seriously, Depardieu, the nation’s biggest film star, faced accusations that he trapped a set decorator between his legs and sexually assaulted her while shooting the film Les Volets verts (The Green Shutters) in 2021. He is also accused of touching the breasts and buttocks of an assistant director on the same film on three separate occasions. Depardieu, 76, has denied all the charges, telling the court he had been “dragged through the mud by calumny and lies”. Continue reading...

3 d. ago Alison Krauss & Union Station: Arcadia review – a fresh start

(Down the Road)The bluegrass star and band reconvene with a new co-vocalist on this slick yet understated set drawing on old-time roots and more recent concernsArcadia is big news in US roots music. In the 14 years since Union Station’s last LP, its Grammy-winning members have not been idle. Singer and fiddle player Alison Krauss, for one, has released solo outings and a second Robert Plant collaboration. Key foil Dan Tyminski (guitar, vocals), meanwhile, remains focused on his solo career. So Arcadia marks a fresh start with co-vocalist Russell Moore (ex-IIIrd Tyme Out). “His pitch – he’s just a laser beam,” said Krauss in the New York Times.The two swap lead vocals across 10 tracks whose often mournful subject matter naturally harks back to times past. The production may be slick but rings with understated eloquence. The banjo-driven Richmond on the James records the dying words of a civil war soldier; Krauss’s pristine vocal hovers above the fray, surveying blood and feeling. Moo...

2 w. ago ‘I demand to have some booze!’: how do actors fake being drunk or on drugs?

From The White Lotus to Industry, hedonism is everywhere on TV at the moment. Actors, and the ‘wellbeing facilitators’ tasked with keeping them safe, reveal the trick to acting under the influence“Iam not a big drinker, I don’t do drugs, I don’t smoke,” says Sagar Radia, best known as the ruthless, potty-mouthed trader Rishi Ramdani in the HBO/BBC banking saga Industry. “But when friends and family watch, they’re like: ‘You look like you do know what you’re doing.’”Nowhere was this more the case than in season three’s White Mischief, an episode focused entirely on the character’s grim descent into gambling addiction, inflamed by booze and cocaine. Previously described by a colleague as “the ghost of Margaret Thatcher in a handsome Asian kid”, here Rishi starts to look more like a disgraced Tory MP in the 90s, as he binges on shots and coke in a seedy casino. At first he’s euphoric – dancing like a drunk uncle at a wedding – but soon his behaviour becomes erratic, his movements ...
