9 d. ago Bridget Christie on brain fog, flirting, and why she won’t be taking a lover: ‘My heart is full. I am open to it, but I’m not looking for it’

She’s newly divorced and facing an empty nest, but the standup and creator of The Change insists she’s having the time of her lifeIs it a pigeon-hole, Bridget Christie asked to be photographed in, or is it a box? Either way, it’s some pretty trenchant visual messaging: whatever society wants to do with middle-aged women, Christie is done with it.It was also a chance for the 53-year-old to dress up as Kate Bush, recreating her 1978 shoot by Gered Mankowitz. And Christie loves dressing up. She did a whole show dressed as Charles II. The actor, writer and comedian is playful: she has way more than the usual number of funny facial expressions; her chat is peppered with silly, surreal ­diversions. Making people laugh is her thing, she says. “It motivates me, it helps me navigate the world, it’s like a drug.” Continue reading...

2 w. ago Santosh review – terrifically tense cop movie digs into sexism and caste prejudice in India

Sunita Rajwar and Shahana Goswami lead a sinewy crime drama as a cynical veteran and a wide-eyed rookie who has inherited her late husband’s jobWriter-director Sandhya Suri has made a tense, violent and politically savvy crime procedural set in India: a film about sexism, caste bigotry and Islamophobia that doubles as a study in the complex relationship between two female cops, a cynical veteran and a wide-eyed rookie. They are terrifically played by Sunita Rajwar and Shahana Goswami in what is almost a gender-switched Indian version of Training Day.Suri is a film-maker who 20 years ago gave us a tremendous personal essay movie I for India, and this is her fiction-feature debut, which reportedly started as a documentary project inspired by public demonstrations about the gang-rape and murder of Jyoti Singh. It centres on the Indian convention of “compassionate appointment”: the dependent widow of a public official can apply for the same job. Goswami plays Santosh, whose cop husband ...

Whether worn by RFK Jr or Jeremy Corbyn, a strong-lined suit portrays a very particular message. Now, everyone from A$AP Rocky to Charli xcx is getting in on the actionConor McGregor knows his way around the octagon. He also knows his way around a courtroom – last November, the UFC fighter was found liable for rape in a civil case in Ireland. And now he knows his way around the White House too – the US seat of power that is all too welcoming for sexual predators. Visiting the American capital this week, McGregor met Donald Trump in the White House on Saint Patrick’s Day, wearing an outfit that had the markings of a man after the president’s own heart: a three-piece pinstripe suit.Trump loves a suit, so you can also easily imagine that the New York tycoon in him loves a Gordon Gekko-esque pinstripe. McGregor’s meeting was strongly condemned by Ireland’s taoiseach, while an Irish rape crisis charity described it as “sinister”. But, with his sartorial choices, McGregor showed himself t...
