Nigel Godrich webchat – post your questions now!

The Ultraísta member and Radiohead producer will be answering your questions at Guardian HQ from 2pm GMT on Tuesday 25 February

It’s been eight years since Nigel Godrich’s band Ultraísta released their debut album (we called it “a producer’s album, but not without the benefits that come from stepping out from behind the desk”), and now the trio are back with Sister, out on 13 March. Multi-instrumentalist Godrich joins frontwoman Laura Bettinson and drummer/producer Joey Waronker for what they’ve described as a “cinematic sci-fi soundscape that’s both exhilarating and laser-focused” and a “celebration of our friendship”, which is a strong Venn diagram if ever there was one.

Godrich is heading to the Guardian offices at 2pm on 25 February to answer your questions about Ultraísta – and of course his most famous gig as Radiohead’s long-term producer (not to mention a fixture of their various side projects, including Atoms for Peace, and Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood’s respective solo endeavours). On top of that, you can also ask him about his lauded work with U2, REM and Roger Waters, or who was the biggest diva on the 20th anniversary recording on Do They Know It’s Christmas? – not forgetting getting fired by the Strokes, and in turn firing Paul McCartney’s band before they got to work on Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.

Knives Out review – Daniel Craig goes Columbo in Cluedo whodunnit

Craig grills an all-star lineup of suspects when a wealthy novelist is found dead in Rian Johnson’s sharp, country-house murder mystery R ian Johnson unsheathes an entertainingly nasty, if insubstantial detective mystery with his new film, Knives Out. Back in 2005, his debut movie Brick (a high-school thriller) paid tribute to the hardboiled noir genre. Now he does the same thing for cosy crime, although there is nothing that cosy about it. Knives Out has a country house full of frowning suspects, deadpan servants and smirking ne’er-do-wells and an amusing performance from Daniel Craig as Benoît Blanc, the brilliant amateur sleuth from Louisiana who annoys the hell out of one and all by smiling enigmatically, occasionally plinking a jarring high note on the piano during the drawing-room interrogation and pronouncing in his southern burr: “Ah suh-spect far-wuhl play!” Continue reading... from Culture | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2L0NKO4

Elena Ferrante: ‘Solaris is not Tarkovsky’s best film, but it made the greatest impression on me’

Solaris is astonishing because the book that inspired it doesn’t seem to contain Tarkovsky’s film A film that I watch at least once a year is Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris . I’ve loved all of Tarkovsky’s works, even the most difficult. Some I’ve seen in the cinema, others on television. I saw Andrei Rublev at the cinema, and on the big screen it was astonishing, its black-and-white extraordinary: I’ll probably never see it again in a cinema, but I hope that young people will have the opportunity. I also saw Solaris on the big screen – not Tarkovsky’s best film, but the one that made the greatest impression on me. I remember that it was advertised as the Soviet answer to 2001: A Space Odyssey – a completely misleading slogan. To see in it a cinematic contest between the US and the USSR was as silly as it was misleading. Kubrick’s marvellous film, with its imaginative force, would certainly win. But it doesn’t have even a hint of the desperation, of the sense of loss, that dominates Sol...
