52 h. ago Nine Perfect Strangers season two review – not even Nicole Kidman’s new wig makes this worth watching

The good news is that the star has rediscovered her ability to emote facially. The bad news is that this boring drama about a creepy wellness guru is almost impossible to care aboutThe wig is better. Everything else is worse. The second series of Nine Perfect Strangers – which was so clearly set up by the open-ended finale of the original, starring Nicole Kidman in a blond hairpiece that would disgrace a four-year-old’s Frozen birthday party – is here.Mad/bad/traumatised wellness guru/cult leader/visionary genius Masha (Kidman) was last seen driving to freedom after experimenting on the stupid, affluent guests at her California health retreat for the stupid and affluent. Tranquillum House was the name, microdosing subjects with psychotics and without consent so they hallucinated dead children and fires was the game. Plus, constant surveillance by hidden cameras feeding private information back to Masha at all times. Let me stop you there and say – well, yes, quite. But Melissa McCar...

2 w. ago Can robots make the perfect Aperol spritz? – Venice Architecture Biennale 2025 review

From 3D-printing with bacteria to cocktail-mixing humanoids, from the future of space suits to reassurances about climate change, this mind-boggling rollercoaster of a show could do with a more focused curatorial visionA teetering wall of gungy green bricks greets visitors to this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale, forming an imposing blockade near the start of the show. The blocks are made of bio-cement, incorporating fishing nets and algae dredged from the depths of the Venetian lagoon. The wall’s steeply sloping gradient follows the curve of global population growth over the last millennium, terminating abruptly near the ceiling to represent the coming peak of humanity. “What awaits us on the other side of the hill?” asks Carlo Ratti, director of this year’s biennale, as he stands in front of the momentous cliff. The answer is a great heap of gunge. A festering mountain of mould-like gunk is piled up against the back of the wall, apparently an allegory for microbial intelligenc...

3 w. ago Kurtág: Játékok review – Aimard is perfect guide to major set of piano miniatures

Pierre-Laurent Aimard(Pentatone, two CDs)Kurtág himself approved Pierre-Laurent Aimard’s selection of 81 pieces from the composer’s 10 volumes of miniature pieces, now among the past half century’s great achievementsIn 1973, György Kurtág began composing piano miniatures to which he gave the collective title of Játékok (Games). He has continued to add to the series, so that now there are well over 400 such pieces, for both solo piano and four hands, which have been published in 10 volumes so far. The pieces, rarely more than a couple of minutes long and sometimes lasting just a few seconds, were first intended as didactic exercises, designed to elucidate a musical point or a detail of keyboard technique, but the collection soon began to encompass other occasional works and more personal expressions – birthday greetings, tributes and memorials to friends and fellow musicians, paraphrases of other music – becoming a complete encyclopedia of Kurtág’s compositional methods.The composer ...
