He’s just too far away from his teammate."I’m curious how the future looks for him.

Now with the rise of OnlyFans, which exploded in popularity during the pandemic, independent content creators became their own bosses and working from home took on a whole new meaning.

Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentVeteran Italian auteur Marco Bellocchio returned to Cannes this year with “Exterior Night,” a limited TV series about the 1978 kidnapping and assassination of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro by Red Brigades terrorists that, prior to playing on pubcaster RAI, is now on release in two installments via Lucky Red in Italian cinemas where it’s doing quite well.Bellocchio, who previously recounted Moro’s still-mysterious abduction in the 2005 film “Goodmorning, Night” from the viewpoint of one of his captors, is taking a different narrative approach in this series consisting  of six one-hour episodes that reconstruct the 55 days of Moro’s imprisonment from different points of view, including that of his family, his fellow high-echelon Christian Democrat politicians, and the ailing Pope Paul VI, played by Toni Servillo. He spoke to Variety about what drove him to revisit Italy’s deepest recent collective trauma and why he thinks the crucial issue of whether the Italian government should have negotiated with the Red Brigades to try and save Moro remains an open question.

the Queen was showing the world how it was done. A sovereign who has often found herself the only woman in rooms full of men and whose reign has seen trends for flares, boob tubes and miniskirts come and go several times over, one of Elizabeth II’s great accomplishments is, surely, her iconic style.Her opinions are rarely heard, but her image can be recognised from a mile off, becoming synonymous with everything from colour-blocking to silk headscarves and frame handbags.

Silk dress, £375, Lisou; Silk headband, £35.99, Isabel Manns; Velvet and rattan bag, £440, Mehry Mu; Handmade monel metal sunglasses, £100, Zan Zan; Patent leather heels, £195, LK BennettWith relaxed rules about hats (a base that’s as small as 10 cms in diameter is permitted as are 10 cms wide hairbands, unlike fascinators, which are not officially allowed) and bare legs, dressing for the Royal Enclosure feels less intimidating than it used to.
