Pick of the weekNapoleonUpon its theatrical release, Ridley Scott’s Napoleon primarily gained headlines for the bullish way in which its 86-year-old director approached the concept of historical accuracy (“Excuse me, mate, were you there?

And this has to be a good thing, because it has a hell of a lot going for it. It’s full of vast, broad spectacle. It’s funnier than most…

Napoleon Actor Joaquin Phoenix (Picture Credit: IMDb) Joaquin Phoenix is one actor whose versatility has no bounds. From Her to Joker, the actor has time and again proved why he’s one of the best male actors in Hollywood. Last year, the Academy Award winner impressed everyone with her remarkable act in the movie Napoleon. He owned every scene with a supporting cast that was as good as him. Napoleon was released in theatres on November 22, 2023. The movie received a positive response from the film critics. Since…

They say that behind every great man is a great woman. But this has been a year of biopics in which wives have emerged from the great men’s shadows to challenge their menfolk for equal billing. Being yoked to a male “genius” is tough, and the female characters in Oppenheimer, Napoleon, Maestro, Ferrari and Priscilla let them know it. When Leonard Bernstein (Bradley Cooper) gets sloppy about hiding his homosexual affairs from his family, Felicia Montealegre Bernstein (Carey Mulligan) lets rip with: “Your truth is a fucking…

According to studio estimates on Sunday, the superhero sequel from DC and Warner Bros., starring Jason…

When I arrive, slightly late, at the small restaurant near Paul Rhys’s home in central London, there he is, all in black, camouflaged against the dark walls, a thick journal in front of him. “I have to write every day or my head explodes,” he explains, putting it to one side. He has 30 years’ worth of material, which surely would make a brilliant memoir. I’m picturing witty asides about great co-stars, while he excoriates himself – and the tale of how a working-class Welsh boy became a posh actor, made some eccentric…
