While this song and the accompanying album, hideous bastard, are sometimes difficult to listen to, there is humor and lightness that counterbalance. Sim is thrilled when I show him a video I took on a small Greek island this summer. Walking through the chora, I heard the sounds of “Hideous” floating out of a house on the Meltemi wind, carried out to the Aegean Sea.

It’s an unlikely holiday anthem, but heard there, the song suddenly felt light and free. This matches the statement Sim released with the song: “I didn’t write the record to linger, but rather to free myself from some of the shame and fear that I had felt for a long time. So I hear a lot of music so joyful, because the experience of writing and recording it was the complete opposite of what the fear and shame was for me.

The majority of hideous bastard was produced by Jamie xx, without any involvement from Madley Croft (Sim reassures that this is only an organic divergence towards solo projects and that the xx will make more music in the future). The album is a mixture of shadow and light, kitsch and deep. Tracks such as ‘Saccharine’, ‘Never Here’ and ‘GMT’ provide a vibe that xx fans will crave, while ‘Hideous’, ‘Fruit’ and ‘Romance with a Memory’ see the emergence of a new single player sim sound.

Nicolas Delorme

The album premiered in Australia, Cornwall and Hastings, but mostly in his old stomping grounds of Soho in Jamie xx’s studio, which “overlooks everything – it’s amazing”. Jamie xx describes different parts of the album as “like looking through a vacation photo”, as they worked on some of them in an oceanside garage studio in Sydney, taking baths between Recordings. The best part of recording for Jamie was the bond the couple felt. “We’ve become even closer friends,” he says, “which I didn’t think was possible, but it’s reached new levels and I’m so grateful for that.”

Sim loved being in Australia, but it’s also where he recorded ‘GMT’, a track that makes him dream of rain London. “It was amazing, and I understand why people move to places like there or LA – you look fantastic, you look fantastic – but sometimes the work isn’t better. I think it takes seasons and a pinch of misery. Melancholy is important for being creative. It’s good to appreciate the sun when it comes out. I could bitch about London for days, but as soon as someone one will say anything about it, I’ll fight it!There’s an inherent melancholy that I think is why so many amazing creative things are coming out of here.

Imagine a young woman with a passion for making short films. She wants to use her films to raise awareness of social issues and support marginalized communities. She believes that if people come together, they can change the world. Anjali Phougat’s latest short film is a hard-hitting commentary on the current social scenario. Anjali Phougat is a name that is not new in the fashion world. Evidenced by his latest film “Inclusion Through Unity” which has just been awarded at the Cannes Film Festival. The film is about the need for inclusivity and how it can be achieved through unity. Anjali won the best short film award for her film ‘Inclusion Through Unity’ at a world short film festival at the Cannes Film Festival. This is not the first time that she has won an award for her work, she has already been recognized for her fashion works and has even been awarded several times for her work in the fashion industry. It is a powerful message that is sure to touch the hearts of many. In the world of design, the Cannes Film Festival is a prestigious event that gets a lot of attention from the design community. Cannes is one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. When Anjali received an invitation to showcase her jewelry at the Global Short Films Awards fashion show at the Cannes Film Festival, she was honored. As a South Asian designer, she felt honored to see her work showcased alongside some of the biggest names in the industry.

A young Indian-American fashion designer, Anjali, has won her first film award at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. An Ohio-based designer, founder of her fashion brand “Designer Dream Collection”, was honored in the “Best Short Shot Award” category. Alex Rogers directed the film and Anjali wrote and produced the film. She starred in the two-minute short focusing on body positivity, diversity and inclusivity. It’s time to stop labeling and judging people. We are all unique in our own way and should be celebrated for it. Anjali’s film Inclusion Through Unity is a movement that aims to promote gender equality, inclusion and diversity. Anjali has dedicated her life to ending violence and building stronger communities, but she knows we cannot achieve this goal without building a strong and inclusive community.

Growing up, she always loved the idea of ​​being in front of the camera. The first time she faced the camera was at the age of 16 for various fashion shows. She has also done some fashion shoots for several big brands. When she was younger, she looked at models in magazines and aspired to look like them one day. It had been a long day and she was just looking for a way to relax. Her film for the Global Short Film Awards was about to screen at the Cannes World Short Film Festival in France in 2021. She didn’t know what category the film would be in, but she was looking forward to seeing it. The Cannes Film Festival is a prestigious event that attracts film stars and industry professionals from all over the world. Anjali was inspired to create a short film that grabs attention for its powerful message on discrimination. The film was apparently inspired to be made after Anjali heard stories of discrimination in Florida in April last year. During her trip, she was asked to design the wardrobe for a fashion show for an NGO. While in Florida, Anjali heard many stories of discrimination from various people she met. These stories apparently had a great impact on her and motivated her to create the short film. This led to Anjali winning the award for her short film at the Cannes festival.

Bombay : Famous Rajasthani folk singer Mame Khan has talked about walking the Cannes Film Festival 2022 red carpet in traditional attire because he wanted to represent the true culture and tradition of India.

He said: “People there are wearing different forms of clothes and stuff, so I was like, what should I wear? I thought I was from India and I was representing the popular culture of India, so I I wore a safa (turban) from Rajasthan and a coat from Kanpur.”

He then recounted how he had to wait for his luggage and he thought if he didn’t arrive on time, he wouldn’t go on the red carpet.

“Interestingly, everyone’s luggage had arrived except mine and Aishwarya Rai’s. Touchwood, the luggage arrived at the last moment,” he added.

The popular singer known for a number of tracks in films such as ‘Luck By Chance’, ‘No One Killed Jessica’, ‘Sonchiriya’ and many more appears on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ as a special guest with Sukhwinder Singh, Akriti Kakar, Devi Sri Prasad popularly known as DSP and Sri Lankan singer Yohani.

Mame recalled visiting France after 23 years and added: “I visited France again after 23 years. I had done a show there and at that time I did not know the English and I didn’t know French either. It was a surreal experience to walk the red carpet in the same country after so many years.”

“The Kapil Sharma Show” airs on Sony Entertainment Television.

Tom Hanks surprises fans with dramatic weight loss at Cannes Film Festival https://cannesfest.org/tom-hanks-surprises-fans-with-dramatic-weight-loss-at-cannes-film-festival/ Thu, 20 Oct 2022 16:05:52 +0000 https://cannesfest.org/tom-hanks-surprises-fans-with-dramatic-weight-loss-at-cannes-film-festival/ Known for his dramatic and comedic roles, Tom Hanks is an American cultural icon widely recognized around the world for his roles in films like The money put, A league apart, Grumpy Forrest, Splash, The terminaland more.

Known for his dramatic and comedic roles, Tom Hanks is an American cultural icon widely recognized around the world for his roles in films like The money put, A league apart, Grumpy Forrest, Splash, The terminaland more.

Hanks has several accolades to his name, including the Academy Awards and Primetime Emmy Awards. However, her drastic weight loss has raised concerns on Twitter and the media. So, let’s look at the reason behind his weightloss transformation.


Tom Hanks’ skinny look at the Cannes Film Festival has fans worried

Tom Hanks left people in shock with his dramatic and drastic weight loss as he walked the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. The actor looked slimmer than ever in a black suit and bow tie for the screening of his new movie Elvis.

Tom Hanks’ dramatic weight loss has left people worried about his health. During his last stage appearance to promote his film, it was also noted that Hanks’ hand was shaking uncontrollably while holding the microphone, that he tried to stop using the other arm and later exchanging hands.

People wondered if this drastic weight loss was due to her role in the film Elvis or his diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, known to lead to weight loss without even trying.

However, there have been other instances that show Tom Hanks is anything but sick. He recently exploded at fans when they collided with his wife, Rita Wilson. He was also seen enthusiastically showcasing his dance moves on a show as a TikTok actor.

Hanks is known for drastically transforming his weight and shape to effectively play his characters on the big screen. For example, playing the character of a stranded man in Castawayhe lost about fifty pounds, for philadelphia creamhe lost thirty-five pounds, and for A league apart Hanks has put on quite a bit of weight.

However, when Hanks was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, he decided to avoid roles that required him to alter his body weight or shape. Tom considered this a game for young people and wanted to prioritize his health and fitness. While revealing the diagnosis in 2013, Tom Hanks mentioned in an interview with the Radio Times:

“I’m part of the lazy generation of America who blindly kept dancing all the way through the party and now find themselves with an illness.”

“I was heavy,” he continued. “You’ve seen me in movies, you know what I looked like. I was completely stupid. I thought I could avoid it by removing the buns from my cheeseburgers. Well, it takes a little more than that.


Conclusion

During his appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, Hanks looked quite slim and slender, which left audiences worried about his health. People have certainly been confused as to whether this weightloss transformation results from the preparation of Elvis or type 2 diabetes, which was diagnosed in 2013.

Hanks has yet to address concerns about his weight loss transformation and poor health.

Cannes Film Festival 2022: The Son | Exam

September 7, 2022


Avatar

Peter (Hugh Jackman) is in his prime: he and his wife have just had a baby, and with meetings in Washington, DC, his career as a high-profile lawyer takes off in political circles. That romance is threatened when Nicholas – Peter’s teenage son from a previous marriage – shows signs of depression, and he and his mother (Laura Dern) agree that it might be best if he comes to live with his father to change.

Florian Zeller’s directorial debut The father captivated critics and audiences alike as the chamber piece managed to create a palpable understanding of what dementia feels like to someone affected by it. In The son, the playwright-turned-filmmaker tackles the equally weighty subject of teenage depression but, to the detriment of the film, chooses to tell the story entirely from the father’s perspective. As such, all empathy rests with Peter and his frustration at not being able to communicate with his son. Although the viewer may be more omniscient than the characters in understanding that mental illness cannot be rationalized, the script maintains the “why don’t you just get better?” narrative rather than offering insight into Nicholas’ struggle. For those who suffer from mental illness, it can be a slap in the face to see themselves portrayed as a mere burden on their family.

As The fatherthe sequel is adapted from Zeller’s own play and again the action is largely confined to a focus, but here it does not operate under the same dramatic necessity. The feature’s dialogue feels stilted and gives its actors little material to flesh out their characters – Peter being the notable exception.

It’s possible that the blank expression in Zen McGrath’s eyes was a deliberate acting choice – after all, apathy is a common symptom of depression – but alongside Jackman’s emotional tour de force, we have the feels like watching a solo squash match when it should have the back-and-forth dynamics of a tennis match instead.

It’s disappointing that the collaboration of such capable minds is nothing more in-depth than a 1990s made-for-TV movie.

The son does not yet have a UK release date.

If you’ve been a fan of Tessa Thompson for a while, it’s no surprise that it’s only day two of the Venice Film Festival and the actress has already nailed the same number of iconic fashion moments perfectly.

Thompson, who grabbed headlines when she arrived at the event by boat wearing a sheer Victoria Beckham print dress paired with bright red gloves and a Vivienne Westwood bag, was quick to back it up with a look red carpet that deserves an award in its own right.

For the premiere of white noise, the 38-year-old actress chose to take inspiration from Bella Hadid’s book, wearing a vintage archival piece, instead of the new season’s designer.

Thompson opted for an on-trend couture piece from Armani Privé, which debuted as part of the house’s Fall/Winter 2009 couture show and is consisting of a strapless silver dress with a cascading peplum waist and embellishments on each side. The sleek piece is completed with a fitted skirt in contrasting black sequins that sits just above the ankle.

To juxtapose the delicacy of the piece, Thompson wore a pair of black patent pumps, black Matrix-esque cat-eye sunglasses and a chunky silver choker, which she tucked her long auburn hair from behind, slicking it back to give the illusion of a front bun:

Thompson, who is styled by duo Wayman Deon and Micah McDonald (Wayman + Micah on Instagram), has long been an understated style icon, but this year she’s taken it up a notch: from Loewe to MM6 Maison Margiela to by Schiaparelli and this Met Gala moment, she didn’t hold back both on and off the red carpet (a shout-out to her Schiaparelli, bike-run street style combo in London earlier this year).

Fortunately, given his upcoming projects, including Westworld season four and Creed III there are probably (hopefully) a lot more styling opportunities to come. I hope she will also stay in Cannes for the rest of the week, because a Don’t worry, darling the first with the addition of a stunning look to distract from the drama is just what we need.

She made her acting debut in the 2010 film “Spud,” an adaptation of a popular South African novel about a boys’ boarding school starring Troye Sivan and John Cleese. She reprized her role in a 2013 sequel.
