The royals clearly still enjoy a good giggle – despite all their pomp and ceremony. During his remarkable 99 years on Earth, the late Duke of Edinburgh appeared to instil a strong sense of humour and mischief through the family, and in last year’s BBC documentary Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers, Prince William, Zara Tindall and her brother Peter Phillips shared an endearing memory of one of their grandfather’s outlandish practical jokes.They recalled how he would take the lid off a squeezy tube of mustard and put it in their hands. “He would squish your hands together and fire the mustard at the ceiling,” said William.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic In early 2021, while Americans were focused on the transfer of power back home, daredevil director Matthew Heineman (“Cartel Land,” “City of Ghosts”) assembled a crew and flew to Afghanistan to check in on the status of America’s longest war. At that point, Osama bin Laden had been dead a decade, the Taliban was weakened but not defeated, and the U.S.-trained Afghan Army was holding its own fairly well — and yet, nearly 20 years in, there was still no end in sight for American involvement. That changed almost as soon as Heineman arrived, as the Biden administration made plans to pull out. In that moment, what might have been another business-as-usual desert war doc — with routine patrols, precisely targeted drone strikes and soldiers expressing their ennui — shifted to something audiences hadn’t seen before. The title, “Retrograde,” refers to the process by which military forces extricate themselves from conflict, removing or otherwise rendering useless the equipment they’d used to engage the enemy. For Heineman, that meant capturing all kinds of cinematic sights: A brawny soldier smashes a heap of computer monitors, helicopters airlift vehicles out, and things go boom as a team tosses all remaining ammo into a trench, douses it in gasoline and lights the pile with a well-aimed rocket. The Taliban won’t be using these bullets.
