• Not Without My Ghosts review – Yikes! It's time to unleash your inner Scooby Doo

  Drawing Room, London
  From a seance with a museum in space to Victorian spectres and an artist more depraved than Aubrey Beardsley, this fascinating celebration of ethereal forces keeps wrecking the spooky moodIt’s a ghost! And a naughty one at that. The apparition floats up, sprouting faun-like forms and wicked faces in what resembles a cloud of opium smoke. This vision, in a drawing by the early 20th-century British occultist Austin Osman Spare, emanates from a creature at the bottom of t

  Fan Bingbing stars as an emperor’s wife having her portrait painted in this artful yet inert period dramaThis French-Chinese co-production about an earlier French-Chinese collaboration offers handsome pageantry amid its lavish recreation of 18th-century imperial court life, but it isn’t quite enough to compensate for a puttering narrative motor. Longtime Apichatpong Weerasethakul producer Charles de Meaux has turned director with a far eastern equivalent of Girl With a Pearl Earring

• How Disney’s New “Mulan” Is A Travesty Of China’s History

  10-09-2020 00:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  The rotten heart of Mulan as a film, rather than its production process, is the accidental regurgitation of China’s current nationalist myths as part of a messy, confused, and boring film.
