‘These early friendships are huge romances’: Extra Geography’s lessons in teenage love - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few years ago, Rose Tremain was asked to name her biggest disappointment. Her reply? The film of her novel Restoration. Despite a Hollywood budget, Robert Downey Jr and Ian McKellen in the cast and a couple of Oscars, it was “a dog’s dinner”. Speaking on the phone from her home in Norfolk, Tremain is far more complimentary about a new British adaptation of her semi-autobiographical short story Extra Geography, set in a boarding school in the 1950s and first published in 2007. “I’ve been deligh
Cotton Queen review – mystery, matriarchs and magic in pioneering Sudanese debut - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘I decide my past,” says a village matriarch in this intriguingly political and poetic drama from Suzannah Mirghani, making her feature debut – and with it becoming the first Sudanese woman to direct a feature. (She was forced to cancel the original shoot in Sudan when war broke out in 2023, moving production to Egypt.) It’s a film with things to say about the long shadow of the British empire, neocolonialism, women’s rights and female genital mutilation. But it mostly says it all without underm
How Deep Is Your Love review – under the sea at Earth’s last frontier with the Psychedelic Elvis Worm - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the marine biologists in this whimsical eco-documentary, the answer is about 5000 metres down. In the lab, we watch them observing, describing, and classifying the bonkers-looking creatures that survive in the freezing-cold waters of the deep sea: blobby little sea pigs and alien glow-in-the-dark sea cucumbers. It seems 90% of life in the deep sea has yet to be named, explains film-maker Eleanor Mortimer in her quirky voiceover. It is the last frontier of exploration on Earth. Mortimer accom
The Portuguese House review – picturesque, polite drama of secrets and revelations at a country estate - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Out of the blue, a woman walks out on her husband. Bags packed and ready to go, at the last moment she crumples up the letter she has written to him and vanishes from their Madrid flat. So begins this drama featuring not one but three characters disappearing without a trace from their lives; it sounds soap opera-ish, but mostly The Portuguese House unfolds as polite elegant drama, told with such rich novelistic detail it often feels like it’s getting into the minds of the characters. Manolo Solo
North Sea, Nature Untamed review – stunning footage finds the beauty and splendour under the water - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The North Sea, with its cold grey waters, is the world’s drabbest. Or so you might have thought, but this documentary featuring the Dutch diver and underwater cinematographer Peter van Rodijnen sets out to tackle the misconceptions. His stunning footage puts all the splendours of this stormy stretch of water on show, and his voiceover gives it an endearing eccentric charm. First, the greyness. Van Rodijnen films the North Sea’s waves sparkling with the cosmic blue light of bioluminescent algae,
