☆ Tunisia to reopen Bardo national museum shut in 2021 power seizure
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-05 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

TUNIS, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Tunisia will soon reopen its Bardo national museum, the Culture Ministry said on Tuesday, two years after it was closed when President Kais Saied shuttered the parliament, which shares the same building. The new parliament started work this year but there had been no firm information about reopening the national museum - one of the capital's main attractions in a country economically dependent on tourism. Enormous mosaics with rich details and vivid colours are displayed throughout the museum including ones showing the Roman sea god Neptune, hunting scenes and spectacular arrays of sea life. The Bardo mosaics, along with others in the museums at Sousse and by the amphitheatre at El-Djem, are taken from the luxurious villas built during the Roman era and into late antiquity.

☆ Judge gives US government one week to handle request for Prince Harry’s visa records
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Holmes Lybrand | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —A federal judge has given the Department of Homeland Security until next Tuesday to decide how it will handle a conservative think tank’s request for Prince Harry’s US immigration records. The group is questioning whether immigration officials properly granted Prince Harry’s application, since admission of past drug use can be grounds to reject a visa application. In court filings, DHS has noted that the US Customs and Border Protection agency originally denied the requests from Heritage because the group did not have Prince Harry’s authorization or consent to release the information. “A person’s visa … is confidential,” DHS attorney John Bardo said in court Tuesday. When asked about the privacy aspect of their records request, attorney Samuel Dewey, who represents Heritage, said Prince Harry’s privacy on the issue of past drug use has been “extraordinarily diminished” given his public remarks on the subject.

☆ A Cabin in the Woods, Intermittent Wi-Fi and a Dead Landline
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-25 | by ( Leah Greenblatt | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

There’s even a live-in housekeeper, a forbidding red-haired woman named Mrs. Brandt who lurks in corners, spouting cryptic things about Jed’s long-dead mother and the breeding habits of local mountain lions. In a genre that can be numbingly formulaic and indifferently composed, she remains a masterful builder of mood, her voluptuous prose heavy with sex and weather. But as Jacy dithers and stalls in the July heat, so does the story, even as it wends toward the feverish, improbable rush of its climax. Woman, beware; these are the signs you were looking for. Leah Greenblatt is a freelance writer and former critic at large at Entertainment Weekly.

☆ ‘Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths’ Review: A Long Trek Through Dreamland
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-04 | by ( Kyle Smith | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

‘Tell a dream, lose a reader,” writing teachers say to their charges. But after you’ve won five Academy Awards, you may feel you’ve earned the right to luxuriate in your fancies. Mr. Iñárritu’s latest, “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” signals accurately in its title that it’s a heady dose of magical-realist arthouse cinema intended for serious filmgoers only. Yet it’s a dense, plotless, phantasmagorical swirl of memories, wishes and grudges, and so it demands full concentration in a theater. It is not best experienced from the lounge chair whose occupant may be distracted by the phone or the proximity of the kitchen.

☆ Netflix agrees to give Iñárritu's new movie, ‘Bardo,’ a first run in U.S., Mexican theaters

“Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” which received its world premiere on Thursday at the Venice Film Festival, is a three-hour epic following the memories and fears of a Mexican journalist reflecting on his journey through life. Funny, surreal and visually stunning, it is Iñárritu’s first movie since his 2015 drama “The Revenant,” which won him an Oscar for best director. Netflix said “Bardo” will play in cinemas in Mexico starting from Oct. 27, as well as in select U.S. theaters from Nov. 4, before launching on the streaming site on Dec. 16. “A movie is a movie. Like the protagonist, Iñárritu now lives in the United States, but he said the picture was not autobiographical.
