Ben Croll Premiering out of Critics’ Week in Cannes, Alexis Langlois’ debut feature “Queens of Drama” is a musical blast of queer culture euphoria, telling a decades-spanning, impossible love story between a pair of pop idols who begin as fans and then become lovers, who climb the charts and permeate the culture as enemies, and who end up forgotten, as time moves forward and a new generation of teenage fans claim new idols for themselves. The film’s familiar rise-and-fall rhythms struck a chord with filmmaker Alexis Langlois, who cites Vincente Minnelli and George Cukor as inspiration.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic SPOILER ALERT: The following review contains some spoilers. Like a rose blooming amid a minefield, it’s a miracle that Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez” exists: a south-of-the-border pop opera about a most unlikely metamorphosis and the personal redemption it awakens in a stone-cold criminal. With a Palme d’Or to his name and the cojones to tackle his third movie in a culture and language that are not his own (after “Dheepan” and “The Sisters Brothers”), the director of “A Prophet” takes audiences into the macho realm of Mexican cartels, where Manitas del Monte — a fearsome drug lord with a silver grill and a voice like gravel — wants out, not because he’s had a crisis of conscience, but because he’s decided to embrace his true self … as a woman.

Billie Eilish has finally released her highly anticipated third album ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’, and the lyrics to the final track ‘Blue’ have caught the attention of fans.Find out how the lyrics of the song relate to every track on the setlist below.The album marked the long-awaited follow-up to the singer’s sophomore album ‘Happier Than Ever’, and the third LP in her discography following on from 2019’s breakthrough debut ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’.Not only does it see Eilish step into new territory with her songwriting, it also comes as a rollercoaster of emotions and appears to see the singer dealing with themes of heartbreak and isolation.It also sees Eilish take on a particularly blue theme, which is seen both through the album artwork and in the powerful and aptly-named closing track ‘Blue’.The song has been reported as being the album version of a previously unreleased Eilish song called ‘True Blue’, which the singer has frequently hinted at during her live shows and was originally meant to appear on her second album (via Capital FM).Now, following its release on ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’, fans have begun looking at the intriguing lyrics in the song, and it seems that Eilish uses the track to make a nod to every other song featured on the album.In the first part of the song, for instance, Eilish includes the phrase ‘Birds of a feather’ – a nod to the title of the fourth track on the album, which is speculated to be about her past relationship with ex Jesse Rutherford.Later in the song, around the two-minute mark, ‘Blue’ changes direction and becomes more solemn, as she sings about someone who was “born bluer than a butterfly”.Before then, though, she seems to make more nods to the other songs in the
