review out of the festival praised Hansen-Løve’s attention to detail in depicting the challenges of ushering a loved one through an illness of someone near the end of his life. “With ‘One Fine Morning,’ Hansen-Løve turns her attention, and ours, toward the challenges, both tiny and immense, of loving someone through a decline such as this — one that’s not a death, just yet, but rather a disabling event, an experience that is as perplexing for Georg as it is for his family and former students,” Katie Walsh wrote for TheWrap.

Clapton’s Facebook page announced last night that Tuesday’s Zurich, Switzerland, show and Wednesday’s Milan, Italy, show would be cancelled as a result of his diagnosis. “Eric Clapton is unfortunately suffering from Covid having tested  positive shortly after the second concert at the Royal Albert Hall,” the Facebook post reads. “He has been told by his medical advisors that if he were to resume traveling and performing too soon, it could substantially delay his full recovery.  Eric is also anxious to avoid passing on any infection to any of his band, crew, Promoters, their staff and of course the fans.”The hope is that Clapton will recover in time to resume tour and complete the rest of the scheduled performances in Bologna on Friday and Saturday.“It is very frustrating that having avoided Covid throughout lockdown and throughout the period when travel restrictions have been in place Eric should have succumbed to Covid at this point in time,” the post continued.

Ukraine, it has become an anthem to the nation's war-ravaged motherland.“Stefania” is the most-watched song on YouTube among the 35 national entries that will compete in the Eurovision Song Contest next week in Italy's northern industrial city of Turin. While some oddsmakers and data analysts have pegged others to win, the song by Kalush Orchestra is quickly becoming a sentimental favorite.“I’ll always find my way home, even if all roads are destroyed,’’ Kalush Orchestra frontman Oleh Psiuk wrote in “Stefania.”The lyrics have become more poignant as Russian missiles pound Ukrainian cities and villages, forcing over 11 million to flee the country already.“Indeed, some stuff in here was written long before the war, and it was dedicated to my mother,’’ Psiuk told The Associated Press at his hotel in Turin, wearing a bright bucket hat that makes him instantly recognizable to anyone who has streamed “Stefania.”“After it all started with the war and the hostilities, it took on additional meaning, and many people started seeing it as their mother, Ukraine, in the meaning of the country.
