Fashion Manifesto” exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, you get a sense of just how avant-garde Coco Chanel was. And it wasn’t merely her low-slung dresses, her glittering “dinner party” pyjamas and her little black jackets, but her desire to embrace whatever was coming next in the world of culture and design. A century on, and the brand is still inspired by these values – and insists that its legacy of cultural patronage goes... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/trends/article/3236986/inside-luxurys-love-affair-cinema-chanels-outfits-sofia-coppolas-priscilla-and-dressing-kristen?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/fashion/trends/article/3236986/inside-luxurys-love-affair-cinema-chanels-outfits-sofia-coppolas-priscilla-and-dressing-kristen?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 15 Oct 2023 09:00:14 +0000 The Hong Kong International Film Festival (IFF) returns this summer with an eclectic programme.

Ellie spared her best friend, Riley, from life as a zombie with a single bullet in episode 7. Henry did the same for his brother Sam, only to end his own life shortly afterwards. Then there were Bill and Frank, who ended their love story on their terms. These heartbreaking compromises drive The Last of Us.

But the difficulty curve was more emotional than technical, for the game delivered the zombie genre at its most heady, grief-stricken and intimate. How it started: grim. Joel, a down-on-his-luck single dad, cannot catch a break. Then comes a viral outburst that has all of Texas going mad trying to avoid flesh eaters, which sends him and his daughter on the run.

In spite of their often moving narratives, startling imagery and millions of fans around the world, turning even the most popular games into creatively and commercially successful films and TV shows has been devilishly difficult for Hollywood. There are the decent, if slightly mawkish adaptations, like Netflix’s The Witcher (also based on a book series); the boring ones such as Paramount+’s lethargic Halo; and the unspeakably terrible ones,... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3207058/hbo-drama-review-last-us-may-be-best-video-game-adaptation-yet-playstation-based-zombie-horror-stars?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3207058/hbo-drama-review-last-us-may-be-best-video-game-adaptation-yet-playstation-based-zombie-horror-stars?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 17 Jan 2023 11:15:11 +0000 While 2022 wasn’t was a very good year for most things, it did see a resurgence of sorts in the world of moviemaking. But while several new talents are on the rise, sadly many of our favourite actors turned in duds. In fact, some of the biggest stars starred in some of the biggest box office bombs.
