46 m. ago Thomas Tuchel: perfectionist, workaholic, disciplinarian winner

Those who have played under the England head coach describe an intense football obsessive who is never far from boiling pointWith Thomas Tuchel, the devil is in the detail and it can often seem like an obsessive, controlling force. The new England head coach sees the minutiae like few others. “In training, he will check if you control the ball with the correct foot,” says Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who played under him at Borussia Dortmund and, briefly, Chelsea.Even this does not tell the full story. As other members of Tuchel’s Chelsea squad will tell you, he demanded they knew the favoured foot of every teammate on the pitch and always passed into it; at the right speed, at the right angle, at the right time. Get it wrong and they could expect to hear about it. Continue reading...

1 hour ago Brief History of a Family review – mysterious interloper at centre of exquisitely constructed drama

Lin Jianjie’s remarkable debut feature keeps you guessing to the final scene – a thrilling film directed and performed immaculatelyThis knockout debut feature from Chinese writer-director Lin Jianjie is like some kind of cinematic kinetic mobile, such as the ones artist Alexander Calder designed in the last century; it’s so exquisitely balanced that it’s able to keep reconfiguring itself with the merest breeze into a whole new arrangement of shapes that’s just as pleasing and abstract as the last. Precision and random chance, freestyle inspiration and formal craft are all in constant play here. That perfectly complements the story itself, a parable about a tricky space – the family unit – where talent, ambition and the lottery of genetics and luck all dance around one another, held in place by gravity and desire.
