Inside labour leader Keir Starmer’s quiet family life with wife Victoria and two children

Once again, the Cannes Film Festival is upon us, this time without COVID-19 shutting down the world like it once did, safely back in the month of May where it usually belongs (2020 was canceled altogether, and 2021 ended up being pushed to June). Cannes 2022 is definitely a solid year, with a diverse list of films and filmmakers (though as usual, black and women filmmakers aren’t as well represented as they should be by the organizers).

Following the flub of “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” the first “Star Wars” movie to ever really flop at the box office—with Alden Ehrenreich playing the part of the cocky spice runner and smuggler originated by Harrison Ford—Lucasfilm has said they likely won’t be recasting younger actors in the parts of iconic actors. In today’s Vanity Fair profile on “Star Wars” that revealed all kinds of goodies and tidbits, Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy suggested that the company won’t be going the recasting route any longer.

Prime Video’s “Night Sky,” premiering May 20, can sometimes be an odd duck, a show that launches with an extremely science fiction premise but works best when it comes back to Earth to focus on character and relationships. In fact, when it’s forced to return to its twisting and turning sci-fi plot, it kind of drifts off, too content to wallow in mysteries that the writing purposefully keeps vague and obtuse before bringing them crashing to Earth.

1996s “Irma Vep” saw Olivier Assayas contribute to a rich tapestry of meta cinema stretching back to Federico Fellini’s 1963 masterpiece “8½.” Itself drawing upon François Truffaut’s metafictional “Day For Night” as a direct source, the film followed René Vidal, an over-the-hill film director whose recent output has descended into alienating pseudo-intellectualism, and his attempt to remake the classic French film serial, “Les Vampires.” Introducing veteran of Hong Kong cinema, Maggie Cheung, to a western audience, playing herself as an actress cast in the fictional director’s film as Irma (keeping up?), Assayas’ film contemplated the nature of the creative process, using its verité aesthetic to capture the mania of a film set while also providing a broader meditation on the state of modern French cinema.

In a world continuing to be ravaged by a pandemic, who doesn’t want a little more dystopian escapism? Look no further than Netflix’s upcoming film “Spiderhead.” The upcoming film finds a way to marry post-apocalyptic tension with romance. The movie is based on the George Saunders short story that originally ran in the New Yorker called “Escape from Spiderhead.” It was later collected in his bestselling anthology, Tenth Of October.

The story of former fertility doctor Donald Cline is horrifying in its own right. Having used his own sperm to inseminate countless women, all the while lying about the origins of the sperm for decades — often by claiming that it came from medical residents at the nearby hospital — Cline’s story became national news around 2019, when the ever-growing number of his biological children sought punishment for what they claimed was sexual assault against their mothers.

In a televised statement this afternoon, the party leader repeatedly denied breaching any rules.

Nicola Sturgeon has said Tory attacks on Keir Starmer over the so-called “beergate” event are part of a “massive operation” to divert attention away from Boris Johnson’s “serial breaching” of lockdown rules.

They popped a giant confetti canon in the back garden.
