A Grand Day Out/The Wrong Trousers review – rereleased Nick Park classics are a complete treat
The first two Wallace and Gromit films see the pair blasting off for the moon in search of cheese, and trying to foil a heist by Feathers McGraw Each heralded by composer Julian Nott’s wonderful and unmistakable brass-band march theme, the first two of Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit films are now rereleased in cinemas; they are simply great family entertainment. A Grand Day Out ( ★★★★★) from 1989 is a terrifically funny sci-fi adventure which gives us a hilarious teatime shot of inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his faithful canine companion and helpmeet Gromit sitting placidly side by side in armchairs and in a front parlour that was surely very old-fashioned even in 1989. It was only on watching this again that I realised who they reminded me of: David Hockney’s mum and dad in his famous portrait My Parents. Continue reading...

A moment that changed me: I broke my arm seven times – and finally listened to what my body was telling me
As a child, enduring break after break, I thought of myself as simply unlucky. Truth was, I needed to tune in to my aches, pains and well-founded fears It was the first day of spring this year. I was topless, face-down on a foldaway travel table, as the masseuse uttered six words that brought my attempt at relaxation to an abrupt end: “I think your arm is haunted.” I have broken my right arm seven times: seven breaks on seven separate occasions. Some years, my arm was in a sling more than it was out of one. The novelty of getting your mates to cover your cast in that 00s grafitti “S” and the relief of missing the bleep test at school quickly wore off. Continue reading...

After losing to the Mail, Prince Harry seems doomed to a sad life in California. And he did it to himself | Stephen Bates
As the family travails worsen, it’s a wretched time to lose face and maybe millions of pounds to his tabloid tormentor. Epic battle, epic fail It really hasn’t been a very good week for Harry. The fifth in line to the throne will retire to Montecito, his gated California fastness – not, as seemed at least possible a week ago, having visited his mother country to public sympathy and applause, mending a few broken fences and seeing his old dad again. Now instead it will be a retreat in confusion, not having stayed in a palace, or seeing his busy pater, and worst of all, bested at huge cost by the Daily Mail , the bete noire of all bete noires.

An Afghan girl calmly milks a giant yak: Daniel Malikyar’s best photograph
‘In the Pamir Mountains, there’s salted yak milk every morning for breakfast. You stay warm at night on the floor in the yurt burning yak dung in the furnace’ My parents and grandparents migrated to the US from Afghanistan in 1979, just a few weeks before the Soviets invaded. I grew up in Los Angeles, but would visit my grandfather in Virginia once a year. He would always make photographs and film little interviews. It was his enthusiasm in capturing moments of our everyday lives that sparked my interest in documenting the world around me. I was six when 9/11 happened. From that point on, the domestic and global perception of my motherland was always driven by the negative connotations drawn from the headlines – terrorism, war, images of sandstorms, guns and desperation.

When I was in the mosque yesterday, it was absolutely rammed, packed, and people couldn’t get into the mosque.

Moana review – Dwayne Johnson’s demigod on autopilot in dull live-action remake
Johnson reprises his role from the original animation and has fine rapport with his young co-star Catherine Laga’aia, but the whole enterprise feels cynical and pointless Disney’s animated super-hit Moana from 2016 – having been followed up by a dull sequel two years ago – now gets a competent but basically pointless and unexciting back-to-basics live-action remake. Screenwriter Jared Bush modifies his original script, Broadway stage veteran Thomas Kail makes his movie directing debut and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s songs are revived. Nineteen-year-old Australian Samoan actor Catherine Laga’aia takes the role of Moana, the headstrong teen daughter of a Polynesian chief; her wise and kindly grandma Tala, who recognises Moana’s heroic leadership destiny, is played by New Zealand actor Rena Owen. Moana has to go on a quest to restore the heart of the goddess Te Fiti, the lack of which is causing a

New barnet: why is everyone wigging out over Dwayne Johnson’s Moana hairpiece?
The live-action remake of Disney’s hit animation is out this Friday and meme-makers have been speaking bald truths about The Rock’s nylon mop Disney’s new live-action Moana remake might not have a lot to recommend it – like so many of its ilk it carries a creepy unreality that makes the whole thing look like a liminal ChatGPT hallucination – but it does boast one element that may very well carry it towards the gates of immortality. I am, of course, talking about Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s wig. Some context. The biggest draw of the live-action Moana is that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson reprises his role from the original, as the egotistical shapeshifting demigod Maui. And this presented something of a problem. You see, Maui is characterised by many things – his tattoos, his exuberance – but none more so than his hair. Maui has the long and flowing hair of a being unencumbered by the onset o

Pierpaolo Piccioli’s couture debut reimagines Balenciaga in his own colourful image
Italian designer brings sculptural silhouettes and playful palettes to storied house, while it is hats off to Giorgio’s niece at her second Armani Privé show The house of Balenciaga takes haute couture very seriously indeed. Cristóbal Balenciaga was so horrified by the rise of mass-produced clothes that in 1968 he abruptly shuttered his brand and retired to his native Spain, announcing that “high fashion is mortally wounded”. So Pierpaolo Piccioli, who now helms the house , approached the brief of his first Balenciaga couture collection conscientiously, despite having 25 years of experience at Valentino. At a preview, the haute couture war room where he worked on the show for nine months was plastered with images that ranged from a 1961 Balenciaga dress to Spanish golden age art – Zurbarán’s chic saints, Velázquez’s doll-like infantas – and a monumental Hepworth pierced megalith.

The Girls review – poignant coming-of-age romance is an understated gem of Sri Lankan cinema
Sumitra Peries’ 1978 film about teenage sisters and thwarted romance is laden with passions that can’t be spoken aloud Here is a gem of South Asian cinema from 1978, by the Sri Lankan director and editor Sumitra Peries. With its lucid monochrome cinematography and calm, natural, unselfconscious performances, there is a freshness and warmth to this film. It is often on the brink of melodrama or soap opera, many shots having a tendency to slow zoom into the actors’ faces, and yet The Girls is in fact rather understated. A great deal of its poignancy resides in this very suppression of emotion. We are in a world of passions that can’t be spoken aloud. It is a story through whose entire running time I wistfully hoped for a happy ending, but that is what Peries ruthlessly withholds from her audience. Kusum (Vasanthi Chathurani) is a studious, serious teen from a poor family with a scholarship

The unknown photos that tell the story of the US’s Black colleges
Rare photographs tucked away in HBCU archives are being preserved and widely shared with the world for the first time Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), most of which were founded during the Reconstruction era following the civil war, hold invaluable historical archives full of documents, photographs and, in some cases, even films. The archives are a testament to the lasting importance and influence of Black American history in the US, documenting more than a century’s worth of history. A lot of the priceless images, however, are in boxes or storage, usually inaccessible to the public and many times at risk of damage or being lost. The Getty Images photo archive grants program and its HBCU collection seeks to bridge the gap between helping HBCUs preserve their archives and getting both historical images and new ones to the wider public.

‘He saw signs saying No Blacks – but he never got bitter’: Sterling Betancourt, the man who brought steelpan music to the UK

Jokes about “black magic” were heard. Then they began striking their pans with mallets and those watching were stunned by the beautiful music that emanated. The Trinidadian musicians were playing at the Festival of Britain – the government-funded jamboree celebrating British and Commonwealth cultural excellence as the country shook off the trauma of war – and that day they introduced a mellifluous style of music to the UK that has since been passed down from generation to generation.
