If you crave romances about beekeepers in the Algarve, or sagas of whimsical poisoning in Kensal Green, Nicolas Lunabba’s memoir probably isn’t for you. The clue is very much in the title. Will You Care If I Die? is a raw, intimate story of desperate trust and betrayal, of people perpetually balanced above a terminal abyss. Elegantly translated by Henning Koch, the prose juggles twisted humour, poetry, love and polemic in an aching, challenging journey. Lunabba anatomises what happens when a guarded heart surrenders and…

“It was like joining a club,” says the director John Waters. “A very secret club, like a biker gang or something. It’s like they were a country club for criminals and lunatics and people that were high.”As celebrated by Jane Giles and Ali Catterall’s new documentary, Scala!!! Or, The Incredibly Strange Rise of the World’s Wildest Cinema and How it Influenced a Mixed-Up Generation of Weirdos and Misfits, London’s Scala cinema was all this and more. An early taste of the building’s capacity to embed itself in potent…

Agatha Christie adaptations are an annual Christmas tradition, as is the nervous anticipation of viewers sitting down to witness the snipping and streamlining of another beloved novel to fit the screen. This year my adaptation of Christie’s relatively little-known 1938 Murder Is Easy joins the ranks of this murderously festive family fare.The original Murder Is Easy sees Christie experimenting with form and themes, class and gender commentary, even some Wicker-Man style folk horror in a darkly romantic comedy with as much…

Updated Dec. 11, 2023 12:13 am ETHAIPHONG, Vietnam—When electric-car startup VinFast Auto was looking to build a factory in the U.S., one state caught its attention in particular: North Carolina. For years, officials there had been trying to get an automobile manufacturer to set up shop in rural Chatham County.

Rosamund Pike is jolly when she appears on my laptop screen in a cream-coloured blouse, with a cream jacket draped around her shoulders. Vanilla hair only adds to the suggestion of dessert. It is early evening, and the actor is calling from Prague, where she lives with her partner and their two sons. (She was filming the Amazon fantasy series The Wheel of Time there, and stayed put when the pandemic hit.) Is the wood-panelled opulence behind her real or virtual? “It’s a real hotel,” she protests, then starts brandishing…

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! In this issue: A closer look at Umbra News from Rocket Lab, Astranis and more Umbra co-founder Gabe Dominocielo’s last name is roughly translated from the Latin as “lord of the skies.” It’s a fitting title for the head of a satellite imagery company — but in a recent interview with TechCrunch, he joked that his last name should be “unit economics.” “Space isn’t my background,” he said. “My passion is unit economics.” Umbra’s story can be summed up as a marriage of technological…

Ruth Wilson hitches the skin by her ears to demonstrate how she’d look if she had “those little wires” sewn into her face, by which she means a thread lift. “Just that would make the world of difference,” she says. She is 41 and “everyone” around her talks about Botox “and what to fill their face with”. This is not in response to any question of mine. This is Ruth Wilson freewheeling on how confusing she finds the notion of “female empowerment” in 2023. “As an actress, everyone does it. Very few resist. I haven’t done…
