29 h. ago Caravaggio review – articulate and intelligent portrait of the art titan’s life and work

This new addition to the Exhibition on Screen series features an alarmingly plausible-looking actor as the great man himselfThe latest offering from the estimable Exhibition on Screen strand takes on one of the biggies – and with a title like that, it is also perhaps treading on other hallowed ground: that of Derek Jarman, whose 1986 biopic is arguably the most brilliant rendering of the great painter’s life and death. By contrast, this Caravaggio is a much more orthodox art-documentary treatment of its subject, playing to the strengths that the EoS films have built up over the years: beautifully crisp and detailed closeups of the work, well-informed and articulate talking-heads, and a nicely judged overall approach that is intelligent but not indigestible.To be fair, this particular artist is well worked territory, so to spruce things up, the joint directors, David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky, cut in sequences with a monologuing actor, Jack Bannell, in character as Caravaggio.

50 h. ago ‘Most horrific death you could imagine’: the truth behind Netflix’s Death by Lightning

The streamer’s new historical drama looks back on the often forgotten story of US president James Garfield whose progressive political career was cut horribly shortThe descendants of James Garfield, the 20th US president, were proud of his life but rarely spoke of his death. “We knew what had happened, that he was shot in a train station,” says James Garfield III, his great-great-great grandson. “We read about the story in books but, in one way or another, we just glanced over it.”That changed in 2011 with the publication of Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President, a book by Candice Millard that revived interest in Garfield’s unfinished life. Her work has now inspired a Netflix drama, Death by Lightning, starring Michael Shannon as the president and Matthew Macfadyen as the drifter who gunned him down. Continue reading...

58 h. ago As a palliative care specialist, I’ve witnessed the human tragedy of our end

While the government debates assisted dying, palliative care is an afterthought. And many more people face death without the care and support they needA baby, in Britain, in 2025, takes its stuttering final breaths. All deaths in infancy are harrowing. But the fact that this particular death might have been prevented – had neonatal care not depended so heavily on charity, had the NHS not failed to fund more than two-thirds of the healthcare babies need – is unforgivable.Mercifully, the dystopian scenario I’ve just described does not exist in the UK today. Although paediatric care is undeniably overstretched, it is at least regarded as a core, bedrock NHS service.Dr Rachel Clarke is an NHS specialist in palliative medicine and the winner of the 2025 Women’s prize for nonfiction Continue reading...

9 d. ago Failed signings, fan fury and resignations: how Fiorentina became a crisis club | Nicky Bandini

After spending big there was optimism in Florence, but their season has been a mess that may get worseDaniele Pradè had described Fiorentina v Lecce as a “question of life or death”, but as the occasion approached he remembered football’s third option: you can always just walk away. On Saturday, a little more than 24 hours before this game was due to take place, he left his role as sporting director of the Viola by mutual consent.The timing was a surprise, but not the decision. Fiorentina had made a shockingly poor start to the season, collecting four points from their first nine games, and Pradè was adamant that he alone should shoulder the blame. “The club put €90m at my disposal to build the team,” he pointed out last month. “If anyone is responsible for the current situation, it’s me.” Continue reading...
