57 h. ago Mark William Lewis: Mark William Lewis review – A24’s first musical signing’s cinematic south London scenes

(A24 Music)Haunting harmonica and poetic banality add to the Londoner’s spookily sonorous baritone to create a hypnotically familiar yet ineffably fresh albumFilm and TV powerhouse A24 bridges the gap between the cutting-edge and the commercial: their content dominates the cultural conversation, often with help from amusingly gimmicky merch (the Midsommar incense burner, the Uncut Gems basketball). Judging by their in-house record label’s first signing, this isn’t a model they’re bringing to their music ventures: it’s very hard to imagine the gritty, lugubrious, bathos-steeped tunes of south-east Londoner Mark William Lewis lassoing the zeitgeist, let alone lending themselves to a quirky product tie-in. (A vial of filthy Thames water, perhaps?)Yet one spin of Tomorrow Is Perfect, the lead single from Lewis’s second album, and it’s instantly obvious why any corporate arbiter of cool would trip over themselves to sign him.

Toronto film festival: the Oscar winner is adrift in Alice Winocour’s uninvolving film about three thinly written women involved in a Paris fashion week showThe otherworldly beauty and consuming, tattoo-strewn look of Angelina Jolie hasn’t always allowed for a great deal of versatility as an actor, a difficult face to seamlessly slot into most stories. The star hasn’t seemed to be all that interested in acting for a while anyway (since 2012, she has physically appeared on screen just seven times) and has preferred to spend time behind the camera and focusing on both her family and her philanthropic pursuits. Her films as a director have been of both genuinely noble intention and minimal cinematic value (her last effort, Without Blood, premiered at last year’s Toronto film festival but still doesn’t have US distribution) and as she enters her 50s, it seems like she’s rediscovered her passion for acting again.The catastrophic box office for her ill-advised entry into the Marvel univer...
