Elisa Shua Dusapin’s third novel, first published in French in 2020, is a quiet, meditative story of shared endeavour. Though gentle, its emotional complexity means it is Dusapin’s most accomplished work yet.

A group of misfit circus performers, led by bewhiskered father figure Israel (Giorgio Tirabassi), tour the backwaters of early 1940s Italy. But the troupe falls foul of the occupying Nazi forces – Israel for his Jewish heritage, the others due to their powers (to label them superpowers rather overstates the usefulness of these unique but niche skills). Cencio (Pietro Castellitto) has the ability to wrangle insects. Part-man, part-shagpile carpet Fulvio (Claudio Santamaria) possesses unusual strength. Grinning simpleton…

What better way to start the new year with what will surely be remembered as one of its worst films. This mashup of magical realism, gratuitous violence and sentimentality is an atrocity in filmic form. It’s only a bit offensive for its appropriation of the Holocaust as a dramatic engine.

“Where does cricket end and the rest of life begin? In India, you never know,” writes Indian cricketer R Ashwin in his foreword to The Great Indian Cricket Circus. People who do not follow cricket might think that he is exaggerating but those who have been ardently following the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup would fully agree. This year’s tournament is particularly exciting for Indian cricket fans since India is the sole host. Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami celebrate the wicket of New Zealand's Mitchell…
