Composed almost entirely of footage filmed by police, The Perfect Neighbor is a harrowing documentary about a black woman shot by her white neighbour in Florida. The director reveals how she made it‘To this day,” says Geeta Gandbhir, “I’m devastated.” The film-maker is talking about the killing of Ajike “AJ” Owens, a black woman shot dead by her white neighbour in Florida two years ago. Gandbhir first came to the case in a personal capacity, as 35-year-old Owens was a family friend.But things quickly changed. She and her team worked hard to drum up media attention and pressure law enforcement and government institutions to take action – and hold this neighbour, 60-year-old Susan Lorincz, accountable.

7 d. ago Radiohead X Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror review – musical mash

This new approach to silent cinema is like trying to watch a movie while your neighbour has their music on too loudHow should we watch silent films now? When they were first produced and consumed, they were after all just films, not “silent” films – any more than photographs or paintings or sculptures are thought of as “silent”. Yet of course they often had improvised piano accompaniment; Gert Hoffman’s autobiographical novel The Film Explainer (filmed with Armin Mueller-Stahl) remembered the prewar time in Germany when his father was employed in a movie theatre to stand next to the screen with a pointer and literally explain what was going on. When Abel Gance’s Napoleon was revived in the late 70s with a live orchestral accompaniment, there was a new creative excitement around the idea of early cinema’s musical reinvention – we recently saw the re-release of the special edition of Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin with the 2005 soundtrack composed for the film by the Pet Shop Boys.B...

8 d. ago ‘I am quite tough’: Schindler’s List star Embeth Davidtz on her explosive film about Rhodesia’s final days

After starring in Mad Men, Californication, Spider-Man and Junebug, Davidtz soured on acting. Now she’s directed – and starred in – a powerful debut filmBorn in the US, raised in apartheid-era South Africa, a reluctant star in her 20s following her big break in Schindler’s List, and now a first-time director at the age of 60, Embeth Davidtz knows what it means to be an outsider. “I’ve always had the feeling,” she says, “that I don’t quite belong.”Normally found in Los Angeles – where she lives in a house once owned by Julie Andrews, with her husband, the entertainment lawyer Jason Sloane – Davidtz is today in Cape Town for work and family commitments. Speaking by video call from a cream-and-beige bedroom, wearing a white top and glasses with peach-coloured frames, her brunette hair tied back, she looks the picture of serenity. The effect is completed by her voice, which soothed millions of children when she starred as the perfect teacher, Miss Honey, in the 1996 film of Roald Dahl’s...

1 week ago McIlroy condemns ‘unacceptable’ Ryder Cup abuse and reveals his wife was hit by a beer

‘Golf should be held to a higher standard than this’McIlroy promises Europe’s fans will behave better in 2027An emotional Rory McIlroy opened up on the abuse he received during the Ryder Cup after Europe secured a famous win in New York. The 15-13 success for the visitors at Bethpage Black came against the backdrop of awful spectator behaviour, largely towards European players and their families. McIlroy confirmed his wife, Erica, was hit by a beer that was thrown during Friday afternoon’s play.“I don’t think we should ever accept that in golf,” said McIlroy. “I think golf should be held to a higher standard than what was seen out there this week. Golf has the ability to unite people. Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette. It teaches you how to play by the rules. It teaches you how to respect people. Sometimes this week we didn’t see that. So no, this should not be what is acceptable in the Ryder Cup. We will be making sure to say to our fans in Ireland i...
