      Die My Love review – Jennifer Lawrence excels in intensely sensual study of a woman in meltdown

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May • 1 minute

    Lawrence excels as a woman whose bipolar disorder is exacerbated by husband Robert Pattinson’s infidelity, with super-strength direction from Lynne Ramsay

    Lynne Ramsay brings the Gothic-realist steam heat, some violent shocks and deafening music slams to this movie, adapted by her with co-writers Alice Birch and Enda Walsh from the 2012 novel by Ariana Harwicz . It’s a ferociously intense study of a lonely, passionate woman and her descent into bipolar disorder as she is left alone all day with a new baby in a rambling Montana house originally belonging to her husband’s uncle, who took his own life in a gruesome way that we are not permitted to discover until some way into the movie.

    Die My Love is another film to remind you that Ramsay believes you should make movies the way VS Naipaul believed you should write books: from a position of strength. There is, simply, overwhelming muscular strength in this picture: in her direction, in Paul Davies’s sound design, in the saturated colour of Seamus McGarvey’s cinematography, and of course in the performances themselves. Robert Pattinson is Jackson, a guy whose job takes him away from home a lot of the time with a box of condoms in the glove-compartment, and Jennifer Lawrence is Grace, who is supposedly going to write a novel during the baby’s nap times – though, worryingly, there isn’t a single book in the house. Sissy Spacek brings her unfakeable presence to the role of Jackson’s mum Pam, who lives in the neighbouring property, a woman for whom the stress of caring for her husband Harry (Nick Nolte), who has dementia, has caused her to sleepwalk, laughing maniacally and carrying a loaded gun.

      Wembley turns a shade of Selhurst after a victory for Palace’s Concrete Catalonia | Barney Ronay

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May

    Sound the tram bells, unleash the smoke plumes from the Tasty Jerk shack – Crystal Palace have finally won a major trophy

    As the final whistle was blown at Wembley there was a moment that seemed to stretch out and become frozen in time. The Crystal Palace players collapsed where they were standing, crumpled across the grass like a battle scene fresco. The colours made it beautiful, red and blue against the deep green, new optics, new names, the unstyled celebrations of players unused to these moments, Jean-Philippe Mateta face down, Will Hughes flat on his back, arms spread like a snow angel.

    There was rush of noise as the clock began to tick again. And that was that. Sound the tram bells, unleash the smoke plumes from the Tasty Jerk shack – 119 years into Crystal Palace’s existence this mercurial club with the clanky corrugated stadium has finally won a major trophy.

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May

    Fire in black sheoak forest of East Gippsland would destroy the birds’ food supply, conservationist says

    Glossy black cockatoos could be pushed towards extinction in Victoria if planned burns of 13,000 hectares of forest go ahead, ecologists and conservationists warn.

    The Victorian government is being urged to abandon the burn, which is intended to reduce bushfire risk.

      The moment I knew: once her migraine had subsided, I told her I loved her

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May

    As Sam Heatley rubbed Olwen’s temples on a busy street, he realised looking after her was his sole priority

    In 2016 a breakup sent me spiralling into a period of deep introspection. I was 25 years old and knew it was time to “do the work”, as they say. I knuckled down and spent a long, lonely winter sorting myself out as best I could. By the spring my mood was thawing, and on the dancefloor at a Chicago house night at Melbourne Town Hall I clocked Olwen for the first time.

    When we ran into each other and introduced ourselves at an after party, a frisson ran through me. That brief interaction with her left me so discombobulated I had to leave the party early. I was on the mend, but I definitely wasn’t ready for whatever that was.

      Guardiola pays for overthinking again as striking decisions cost City FA Cup | Jonathan Wilson

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May

    Spaniard lost the mind games battle with Palace manager Oliver Glasner and made odd tactical choices at Wembley

    A vintage FA Cup season had its vintage ending. Perhaps a second half that didn’t live up to the extraordinary drama of the first meant that this wasn’t quite a classic final, but it was one packed with incident and storyline, from Jean-Philippe Mateta’s glorious return after his horror injury at Millwall , to a missed penalty, a heroic goalkeeper inspired by the memory of his late father and a debutant substitute.

    And at its heart, well as Crystal Palace played, was Pep Guardiola making a series of decisions so striking they could not but raise the familiar spectre of overthinking.

      Trump to talk to Putin on Monday about Ukraine ceasefire proposal and trade

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May

    In social media posts, president also slammed Walmart for price increases and spread anti-Clinton conspiracy theories

    Donald Trump has said that he will speak to both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an effort to stop what he called the “bloodbath” war in Ukraine , in a barrage of new social media posts that included baseless conspiracy theories and a demand that Walmart not raise prices for customers because of tariffs he has imposed.

    Trump, posting on his Truth Social account on Saturday, wrote that he will speak to Putin on Monday morning. “THE SUBJECTS OF THE CALL WILL BE, STOPPING THE ‘BLOODBATH’ THAT IS KILLING, ON AVERAGE, MORE THAN 5000 RUSSIAN AND UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS A WEEK, AND TRADE,” Trump wrote, in his customary all-capitalized prose.

      Tom Dunn shines on record-breaking appearance as Bath crush Leicester

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May

    • Bath 43-15 Leicester
    • Tom Dunn scores try in 184th Premiership match for Bath

    It could yet be that these two teams will meet again in this season’s Premiership final at Twickenham. If so Leicester will have to look for some different solutions. This meeting of the leagues’s top two was compared to a “heavyweight boxing clash” by Bath’s head of rugby, Johann Van Graan, and even the ability of Leicester’s defence to soak up a ton of punishment was not enough in the end.

    Bath emerged victorious on a glorious early summer evening, helped by a memorable try for Tom Dunn, setting a new club record for the most Premiership appearances – 184 – in the famous blue, black and white striped jersey. If the one-handed offload from Finn Russell was not eye-catching enough, the hooker’s extravagant dummy and subsequent 20-metre sprint to the line were real collector’s items.
