‘Icarus: The Aftermath’ Review: Doping Doc Sequel Zooms Out to Confront the Real Issue

Guy Lodge Film Critic At the height of his career, Czech-born composer Josef Mysliveček was the most prolific and sought-after figure in Italian opera, bound for immortal celebrity. Nearly three centuries later, his name isn’t forgotten to classical music scholars, but neither does it have anything approaching household status; the facts and records of his personal life, meanwhile, have largely been lost to history. Via a blend of free narrative speculation and exacting musical presentation, Petr Vaclav’s stately, sumptuous biopic “Il Boemo” seeks to restore a degree of iconic status to a talent latterly overshadowed by relative 18th-century contemporaries, albeit not with much swagger or modernity of its own: This is costume drama of a traditional, ornately brocaded stripe, a classical music lesson for classicists.

Eamonn Holmes drew shock and laughter as he took an opportunity to make a dig at former This Morning co-stars Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. Since the Queen's death was announced on September 8, the veteran presenter has been hosting his GB News show from outside Buckingham Palace.

As the nation continues to mourn for The Queen following her death last week, many of us will now be turning out attention towards the funeral, which will be incomparable in scale and grandeur to any funeral we have seen before. While many of us will have seen state funerals in the past, such as after the death of the Queen Mother in 2002 and Princess Diana in 1997, far fewer people will recall the death of the previous Sovereign, King George VI’s funeral which was held in 1952.

There were tears on Gogglebox as it returned for the second time since the Queen's death was announced. Queen Elizabeth II died last Thursday, September 8, at Balmoral. She was 96 and recently celebrated 70 years on the throne with her Platinum Jubilee, making her the longest-reigning monarch in British history.

The problem with Michael Ritchie’s 1985 film “Fletch” is that it’s a perfectly good ’80s Chevy Chase action-comedy and a very bad adaptation of Gregory McDonald’s Edgar-award-winning mystery novel. It’s a dichotomy that becomes clear if you’re one of the many, many ’80s kids (hello) who watched “Fletch” on video and HBO so many times we memorized it and then went to read the book – and its ten (ten!) follow-ups – and discovered they were something different altogether.

banned from ever being broadcasted again.The program aimed to show the daily lives of members of the royal family, including Prince Philip, the queen, who died at the age of 96 on Thursday, and their children Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Prince Andrew and King Charles III (then known as Prince Charles).Other scenes portrayed the monarch at official engagements, her travels across the Commonwealth and her speeches to dignitaries.It even included a private family moment showing them around the barbecue at Balmoral Castle, their vast country estate in Scotland.The late Duke of Edinburgh — who died last April — commissioned the documentary to make the family seem less like an ancestral dynasty. The monarch was “initially uncertain” about letting the cameras into their homes, according to the Mirror.The almost two-hour film was viewed by 30 million people in 1969 and 350 million people saw it all over the world.Get the latest on Queen Elizabeth II’s passing with The Post’s live coverageIt wasn’t until 2021 that the movie was leaked on YouTube for fans and historians alike to analyze and view.

K.J. Yossman Lorton Entertainment, who are currently working on highly anticipated Disney+ documentary “Wagatha Christie,” have set a new unscripted series titled “Horsepower” at Amazon, Variety can exclusively reveal. A four-part documentary series which is set to launch on Prime Video U.K. and Ireland from Sept. 23, “Horsepower” gives viewers a rare glimpse into the world of horce racing via its two protagonists, leading trainer Andrew Balding and his principal jockey Oisin Murphy as they compete over a nine month period culminating in the horse racing world’s most prestigious annual event: Royal Ascot. Audiences will get unprecedented behind the scenes access as they follow Balding (brother of sports host Clare Balding) and Murphy from fall 2020 to summer 2021, watching them train at Balding’s Hampshire stables and competing in events across the country. All seems lost, however, when Murphy tests positive for cocaine: will he be banned from the sport he loves or will he be able to re-build his once promising career?

After a lifetime spent creating outrage and offence, both on and off screen, Korean master Kim Ki-duk has left the world with this final film, finished by his friends after his death. The story of a passionate affair that curdles almost immediately into jealousy and hate – but ends on a lyrically wistful note – is a startlingly appropriate rogue’s epitaph.

Phillip Schofield made his return to This Morning by wasting no time in sharing his thoughts on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The 60 year old and co-presenter Holly Willoughby, 41, appeared for the first time on the program in eight weeks, after their annual summer break, and were joined by royal experts Gyles Brandreth and Camilla Tominey.The guests talked about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returning to Frogmore Cottage and Gyles revealed that tensions are still high between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.

Wolf and Dog (Lobo e Cão) is the first feature film by Portuguese director Claudia Varejão. The movie follows a group of queer teenagers growing up in the uber-religious town of San Miguel in the Azores who yearn for more than the small-town ideals and the mundane lifestyle of their parents. Written by Varejão and Leda Cartum, the central characters try to build a community of their own. Still, the adults want the kids to remain stagnant, become farmers, fishermen, or mothers, and force them to enjoy that lifestyle. The movie has challenging moments to get through because they slow the pacing, making it a more tedious viewing experience, but the script works hard to subvert some harmful tropes.

Prince Charles has been criticized after guest editing Britain’s leading Black newspaper, The Voice.

never doped its athletes, Putin’s administration shifted to claiming that Rodchenkov was a rogue agent who did it all himself and is now a traitor. The evidence clearly suggests otherwise, but the Olympic ban is essentially toothless: It prohibits the Russian Olympic committee from being part of the games but allows athletes to compete under the “Olympic athletes from Russia” banner.

Called out. Big Brother contestant Kyle Capener was confronted for his comments about race on the CBS reality series.

As a child growing up in the United States, you’re taught that betraying the country is a terrible act, punishable by death. Every morning, in most public schools, you’re forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, which overtly puts your patriotism at the forefront of the day’s events.
