• Film Review – The Neon Demon

    The Neon Demon is the tenth film directed by Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn; the third consecutively to debut at Cannes and the second to be met there with a chorus of boos. The film is a pristine gut-punch. It follows Jessie, played to career-making perfection by Elle Fanning,...
  • Liam Inscoe-Jones: “The Royal Family is the Greatest Embarrassment to Britain”

    As a nation, Britain is in turmoil. A month of increasingly ugly campaigning in the lead up to the EU referendum culminated last Thursday with the murder of an innocent MP, whilst indisputably racist propoganda is being foisted like it’s 1968, and football hooligans are commerating a miserable Euros...

    Sleek, sardonic and intensely sarcastic: Josh Tillman (aka. Father John Misty) was one of the year’s most anticipated visitors to Rock City in Nottingham. But he’s also a man who divides opinion. Uniquely, it would be hard to imagine the talent of Tillman’s lyricism, vocal chops or showmanship being...
