Four songs into her set, Patti Smith starts to cry: “First tears of the tour!” she sighs, wiping her eyes. They’re occasioned by the sound of the audience singing along to her 1978 track Ghost Dance, a sound you would assume she’s heard before in the years since she wrote it.

Ignore the critics – Kevin Costner’s three-hour western is a must-watch

Good news! Remember the film everyone keeps begging Hollywood to make? The one that returns to old-fashioned values of layered storytelling and real-world spectacle?
