An overdue showcase of Miller’s remarkable work follows its many frenzied twists – from her unrecognised work with Man Ray to unseen gems of the Egyptian desert and unflinching glimpses of Dachau
MONICA BELLUCCI
Monica Bellucci, born in Città di Castello, Italy, in 1964, rose from the Umbrian countryside to become one of the most recognizable actresses and models in the world. By circa 1988, after beginning her career as a fashion model in Milan, she quickly became a fixture in European fashion houses, working with Dolce & Gabbana and French Elle. Her transition to film began in the early 1990s, with roles in Italian cinema that highlighted both her Mediterranean beauty and her ability to embody deeply emotional characters, setting the stage for an international career that would flourish over the next three decades.
Wendy in the Whisper Knit Cardigan
Attersee’s first print collaboration features watercolors by the Rome-based artist Wendy Artin, whose figurative work explores the interaction of light and pigment on surface. Over the last two years, Attersee worked closely with Artin to create a textile print based on a series of the artist’s female nudes. Painted in lush sepia watercolor, Artin's figures stretch and dance across a selection of new and signature styles in silk twill and silk-cashmere voile.

Exclusive: Study gives 85.7% probability Badminton House version of The Lute Player is by 17th-century master
He is one of the most revered artists in western art, yet just a few dozen works by Caravaggio have survived. Now the 17th-century master’s hand has been confirmed in a painting that Sotheby’s and the Metropolitan Museum in New York had dismissed as a mere copy.
Israel's bombing of Gaza City continues unabated as it carries out an offensive on the suburbs of Gaza City for weeks after Netanyahu ordered his military to capture it. The city and its surrounding region are currently experiencing a famine, the UN says, after Israel severely restricted aid flows. Israel orders Gaza evacuation as it prepares for a major attack. On September 9, 2025, Israel ordered residents of Gaza City out, after it said it was about to obliterate the area in an assault to wipe out Hamas. Residents of the city, home to a million Palestinians before the war, have been expecting an onslaught for weeks, since the Israeli government devised a plan to deal Hamas a fatal blow in what it says are the militant group's last strongholds.

Oscar-winning actor says she’s ‘terrified’ over Israel’s deadly war and spoke about fears over erosion of free speech in US

Jennifer Lawrence has spoken up about Israel’s war in Gaza and censorship in the US.
You don’t know. You don’t know what it takes—what it truly costs—to be an artist.
It’s not about skill. It’s not about fame or aesthetics or education. It is something much deeper, more intimate, and infinitely more painful. To create real art, you must sit down with your entire being exposed.
Claudia Cardinale was part of the great wave of Italian movie stars whose postwar career took them from Europe to Hollywood; these included Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida and Monica Vitti, who the American film industry prized not merely for their beauty but also for their mystery: an exotic feline allure and sense of toughness and survival, and even tragedy. But Cardinale perhaps had something her contemporaries didn’t: a kind of simplicity and frankness to go with the sensual allure. She often played opposite Alain Delon, whose own beauty complemented – almost merged with – hers.

So much for low viewership: Jimmy Kimmel’s comeback monologue is now his most-viewed one on YouTube.
It has been quite some time since my sociology teacher assigned the entire class to watch the movie 'Birds of Passage'. The topic we were dealing with at that time in our “Race Identity and Cultural Diversity of Colombia” class was the influence of modernity in Colombia's indigenous communities, especially the Wayúu community. At that time, I had been living in Colombia for two months and, although I was aware of some aspects concerning the country's indigenous communities, there were just as many, not to say significantly more, things I did not know. I was aware that, in general, the indigenous communities were going through a process of loss of their traditions, their culture, their language – and that this was mainly caused by the influence of western culture – but how this was happening was unclear to me. Thanks to the movie I was able to understand a lot. I learnt what difficulties indigenous communities face, and how Western culture is affecting their lives. Among the many themes that are addressed in the movie, the ones that struck me the most were undoubtedly cultural assimilation and transculturation. These are terms that were not entirely new to me. Most probably you readers have already heard of them too. However, since my purpose within this article is to analyse these phenomena within this, in my opinion very well-done movie, I would like to give more precise definitions of what they designate.
