Let loose some airy English film aesthetes with a big budget, a French film studio and a theme somewhere between Marcel Proust and Jean Cocteau, and back comes this strange, slightly off-balance but extremely impressive objet d’art. Eric Portman is really good, Edana Romney not so much. English actresses Barbara Mullen and Joan Maude compensate greatly — they’re haunting, actually. For his first job of direction Terence Young gives us a flash of Christopher Lee in his first film, along with pretty Lois Maxwell. Content-wise the film has the screwiest construction … its style and obsessions are split between the two films presently rated the best ever made! Expect something different: the baroque style may prompt some viewers to reach for the ‘eject’ button.

It turns out that Donald Trump, who accused former Miss Universe Alicia Machado of having a “sex tape,” has appeared in not one but at least two videos for Playboy. The latest video, recently unearthed by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski and Chris Massie, featured Trump assisting the company in its search for a 40th anniversary Playmate. He is shown interviewing and taking photos of some of the potential models. According to CNN, the video comes from a 1994 VHS tape titled “Playboy Centerfold.” None of the scenes featuring Trump feature any nudity, though it does appear elsewhere on the tape.

The East End Film Festival opens this evening with Roger Sargent's doc, The Libertines: There Are No Innocent Bystanders. The festival then kind of goes berserk on Sunday with Movie Mayday, "a free day of cinema, live music, cinema trails, virtual tours, filmmaking competitions, quizzes and talks blanketing the whole of London's East End," and a screening of Ken Russell's The Devils (1971) at the Barbican that Electric Sheep's pretty excited about. They also urge readers not to miss Friday's screening of Jerzy Kawalerowicz's Mother Joan of Angels (1961) "in the beautiful church of St John on Bethnal Green."
