Gaspar Noé directing Charlotte Gainsbourg on the set of Lux Aeterna Photo: Tom Kan Somehow, Gaspar Noé has returned. The controversial Franco-Argentine filmmaker (whose last film, Climax , was for some of us the best picture of 2019) is getting some of the best reviews of his career for his latest, Vortex , an impressively depressing split-screen drama about dementia and old age starring the Italian director Dario Argento and French actress Françoise Lebrun. Also in theaters right now is Lux Æterna , a positively insane 52-minute art thriller shot in split screen that Noé premiered at Cannes in 2019, featuring Béatrice Dalle playing herself as a director whose bizarre drama starring Charlotte Gainsbourg is spinning out of control right around her. Lux Æterna originated as a short for a fashion brand and wound up being an experimental look at the chaos of making movies. Indeed, the loss of control has been Noé’s great theme since his earliest days — loss of … [Read more...] about Gaspar Noé Is Not in Control

Angry parents have hit out on social media over a 'disgusting' picture book which includes details on sex to an audience as young as four. The book titled My Body Is Growing, aimed at children, mentions a penis 'spraying' semen into a woman's 'moist' vagina and some parents have taken to social media to share their shock at the contents of the picture book with the author, Dagmar Geisler. Geisler, 64, wrote the book in order to educate younger children, aimed at four to eight year olds, on the changes that their body will undergo and will happen as they reach puberty. Though, some parents feel the book details too much about sex for its target audience and one mother even described some sections of the book as resembling 'soft porn literature'. One part of the book, which is written next to a sketch drawing of a woman laying on top of a man, reads: "They snuggle together for a long time. They kiss each other all over their bodies. "Behind the ears, on the neck, on the … [Read more...] about Parents mortified by ‘disgusting’ kids’ book that describes sex and the coil

RNZ The Detail: Journalist David Farrier talks about his reporting on serious allegations of emotional and physical abuse at one of the country’s biggest megachurches: Arise. It was early May and Pastor Peter Mortlock​ was preaching to the converted. There had been trials and tribulations, highs and lows, but Mortlock had much to be pleased about. He founded Bays Christian Fellowship on Auckland’s North Shore in July 1982 and watched it grow and grow. In the early 2000s, the church, now known as City Impact, built a large facility complete with a state-of-the-art 2100-seat auditorium. Along with 10 campuses in New Zealand, there are 48 mission campuses in India, plus others in the Philippines, Mexico and Tonga. On this particular Sunday, nearly 40 years after the start of the City Impact story, Mortlock had good news and bad news.

PRINCE Harry is a hypocrite for signing up for a fly-on-the-wall Netflix series after he moaned royal life was like the 'Truman Show', a royal expert said today. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly filming an "at home with the Sussexes"-style docuseries for the streaming giant as part of their multi-million pound mega-deal. US reports claim the couple have welcomed cameras into their £11million Montecito mansion to film candid content, as the Kardashians did for their fly-on-the-wall show. But the move appears in direct contrast to earlier grumbles from Harry, who last year compared royal life to Jim Carey's overly scrutinised character in 'The Truman Show' and living in a zoo. Royal biographer Angela Levin told The Sun Online: "It's absolutely extraordinary, it shows what hypocrites they are and how they change their minds if it suits them. "He just complained that his life was like a zoo being in the Royal Family and yet he's going to have people … [Read more...] about Prince Harry moaned royal life is like ‘Truman Show’ and a ZOO – intimate Netflix show is SO TACKY, blasts royal expert
