‘Memoria’ Review: The Amazon Jungle Offers a Fresh Playground for Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Usual Obsessions

Manchester United are targeting a move for Christopher Nkunku, whose career has already been saved by Ralf Rangnick in the past. The Leipzig midfielder has been in fine form this season and is understood to be attracting interest from a host of top European clubs ahead of the summer window.Nkunku has scored 19 goals and provided 13 assists in 31 appearances in all competitions so far this season, including seven goals in Leipzig's six Champions League matches.As a result, Rangnick is urging the Red Devils to make an approach for the 24-year-old when the transfer window reopens in the summer.ESPN reports that Nkunku has now been added to the club's list of potential midfield targets, following a recommendation from Rangnick.The pair previously worked together in Germany, with Rangnick working as Leipzig's director of football when Nkunku was signed from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019.Nkunku had struggled to break into the first team in Paris before reigniting his career with Leipzig after being saved by Rangnick.A former France under-21 international, he held talks with Arsenal before joining Leipzig three years ago.Should Manchester United push to sign Christopher Nkunku in the summer? Let us know in the comments section below.The Bundesliga side are understood to be keen to keep hold of him in the summer, though, and are said to be doing their best to fend off any interest.Speaking to Sky in Germany at the weekend, Leipzig chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff said: "He [Nkunku] will also play with us next season because of course he is a very important player."In football nothing is ever certain, but that's our plan.

World Cup is just eight years away from celebrating its 100th-year anniversary, where the 2030 edition will be held is still a mystery.But still, 100 years after its inception, an embarrassing moment in its first edition will still be remembered.In USA's semi-final clash with Argentina, the medics were forced onto the pitch after one particularly unsavoury challenge.However, when USA's physio, Jack Coll, ran onto the pitch he tripped and fell, smashed his chloroform bottle on his way down.As a result, Coll sedated himself on the pitch, meaning the physio, not the player, was stretchered off.The USA had cruised through the group stages - beating Paraguay and Belgium 3-0 to book a spot in the knockout rounds.With this being the first edition of the tournament, only 12 teams travelled to Uruguay, and the knockouts started with the semi-finals.Argentina dismantled the USA 6-1 Estadio Centenario in the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo in front of 72,000 fans.However, Argentina were beaten by the hosts in an all-South American final as Uruguay claimed the first of their two World Cup triumphs.What's the strangest thing you've seen at a football game? Let us know in the comments sectionIt wasn't until the 2002 World Cup, hosted in South Korea & Japan, when the US side was able to win a knockout game at the World Cup.That win came at the expense of Mexico, and Brian McBride and Landon Donovan were on the scoresheet that day.

The Chase star Jenny Ryan has detailed a bizarre encounter with former EastEnders star Dean Gaffney that saw her booted out of a first-class train cabin on Valentine’s Day.The 39-year-old quizzer, who currently stars on ITV game show The Chase as the Vixen, opened up about an unexpected spat with the former soap star back in 2019, where she admitted he booted her out of her first-class cabin.Tweeting about the incident on February 14 this year, Jenny posted: “J.Ry Trufax: I once spent Valentine's Day on a train with Dean Gaffney. He gave me a cupcake with a heart on it.”However, as she details the incident on the comedy_arcade podcast, it appears it wasn’t all cupcakes and hearts for the pair after she publicly bashed him and was left “fuming” when she found herself interrupting his filming schedule.She explained: “I was travelling first class on a train and someone came in and said I had to move to a different carriage because some producers were using this carriage to film an advert.“And I was all settled in I had got on the train early, I got my coffee, I was a bit fuming.

Ralf Rangnick insists he won't drop blundering Manchester United captain Harry Maguire.But he admits Maguire's form has not been good enough and that he needs to improve.Fuming United fans have called on Maguire to be stripped of the skipper's armband and axed from the team following a string of below-par performances in recent weeks.The England defender has been at fault for several goals United have conceded during a woeful run of three games without a win, which has seen them lose ground in the race for the top four and crash out of the FA Cup.

Tilda Swinton is putting on a colorful display.

In one scene of Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s “Memoria,” Jessica (Tilda Swinton) and a friend browse refrigerated cabinets designed to preserve flowers. “In here, time stops,” the saleswoman says proudly, gesturing at the blue cupboards.

Shown anywhere else other than at the Cannes Film Festival and like-minded environs, Memoria would play as nearly pitch-perfect parody of an art film. Arid, potted with risible minimalist dialogue, positively stewing in its own creative amazingness and with Tilda Swinton, no less, in the leading role, this seventh feature from Thai-brow pet Apichatpong Weerasethakul had the Cannes premiere crowd on its feet applauding for minutes after its world premiere. But you could easily imagine other viewers seeing bits of it and believing it something that was made for easy laughs on Saturday Night Live.

Tilda Swinton walks the red carpet at the premiere of her movie Memoria during the 2021 Cannes Film Festival on Thursday (July 15) in Cannes, France.

July 12th, 2021, Cannes – Reader, I ratatat out this missive in haste on my trusty Smith-Corona from the South of France, in the paltry hopes it may adequately convey my delight in viewing the latest cinematographic marvel from Mr. Wes Anderson, originally of Houston, Texas but more latterly resident of a nearby color-coded, symmetrical nebula almost entirely of his own design.

“As a kid, I was drawn to jungles, animals, and mountains,” Palme D’or winning director Apichatpong Weerasethakul says in the press notes to his surreal new Cannes Film Festival provocation, “Memoria.” A film that Neon Films itself calls, “bewildering,” though that’s not that strange if you know the work of this Thai master. “During the ’70s, I grew up reading novels about hunters looking for treasures from lost civilizations.

Midway through Joanna Hogg’s seismic “The Souvenir: Part II,” a continuation to her 2019 feature begotten from personal remembrances, her fictional alter ego, Julie (Honor Swinton-Byrne), sits in a van surrounded by the team of student filmmakers helping with her thesis project. The director of photography berates them for the inconsistency of the production attributed to Julie’s scattered-brained process.
