YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING: NATHAN FIELDER AND THE ART OF DECEPTION
In one of the most audacious documentaries of recent years, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim move into the home of convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, thirty-four days before she enters prison.

DIGGER: TOM CRUISE, THE APOCALYPSE AND THE TERRIBLE COMFORT OF BEING RIGHT
In Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s audacious new film, Tom Cruise abandons the reassuring heroism of his action career to play a grotesque billionaire whose reckless pursuit of wealth threatens to destroy civilisation.

MARINA HERLOP: MUSIC THAT REFUSES TO BECOME CONTENT
With Dja Dja, released on 9 October 2026, Catalan composer Marina Herlop has produced one of the year’s most adventurous albums: a dazzling, occasionally bewildering collision of classical composition, experimental electronics, invented languages and Balinese gamelan. Three years in the making, it arrives with an unusually pointed argument about the state of contemporary music. At…

What’s So Special About the Romantic Piano?
The piano is the most democratic and the most intimate instrument in the history of Western music — democratic because it found its way into the parlours and drawing rooms of the emerging middle classes, intimate because it is the one instrument on which a single person, alone, can produce a complete musical world without…

The World as It Is: Who We Are According to Aristotle
He spent twenty years in Plato’s Academy, absorbing everything, and then he disagreed with almost all of it. He brought the Forms back down from the heavens and put them inside the things themselves. He said the soul was not imprisoned in the body but was the body’s form — what the body does when…

Henri Cartier-Bresson
The Geometry of the Instant Henri Cartier-Bresson invented a way of seeing so complete that it became the unconscious grammar of photography itself. Then, quietly, he put down the camera and went back to drawing. He had always said it was a sketchbook, not a vocation. He meant it. Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare in Paris,…
