‘Given enough wine I could belt out I Will Survive’: Susie Dent’s honest playlist

The first song I remember hearing It’s a toss-up between Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da and Yellow Submarine by the Beatles. My parents were big Beatles fans and both songs filled my childhood home.

Sunja (Minha Kim) is a Korean woman living in Japan in the last years of Japanese...

Elvis Costello’s journey from madman to national treasure

Elvis Costello almost gave up on his life in music before it had even begun. It wasn’t that he disapproved of the punk tsunami that had so completely upended the London music scene, but as a sole trader playing unreleased acoustic originals in club land, in the 1970s, he didn’t know whether or not he had a place in its grave new world. His songs ha...

It’s so barmy that you want it to be true. The plot of this gimmicky British romcom hinges on a 200-year-old law that – supposedly – permits marriage to a dead person. (It was introduced, so it is said in the movie, during the Napoleonic wars to allow women to marry sweethearts who died on the battlefield.) There’s even a word for it: necrogamy. And Mrs stars glorious Aisling Bea as Gemma, who launches a legal bid to get hitched to her American...

Walk on the weird side: Tim Burton’s movies – ranked!

19. Dumbo (2019) Here is the great clunker of the Tim Burton canon. His cumbersome live-action remake of the Disney hit is a great big flightless pachyderm of a film that misses the pathos and charm of the original, saddling itself with 21st-century embarrassment at the whole idea of circus animals and overcomplicating everything. Burton’s instinct may be for a gothic overload of detail, but that feels wrong here. 18. Planet of the Apes (2001)...
