      ‘There was unfinished business with Boys State’: inside the female follow-up to the hit film

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · 2 days ago - 09:08 · 1 minute

    Girls State tracks the high-schoolers taking part in a mock government simulation just as a devastating supreme court ruling is about to change everything

    Nearly seven years ago, the film-makers Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine went to Texas to see government in action, albeit one run by teenagers . The country was well into the Trump administration – Muslim bans and kids in cages dominated the headlines – when the two began filming an annual American Legion convention known as Boys State, a weeklong mock government simulation for 1,000 high school boys, in the summer of 2018. The duo tried to film a similar state program for girls, but were rebuffed; they ended up with Boys State , an incisive Apple TV+ documentary that captured the chaos, promise and peril of young masculinity in the US and went on to win the grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020.

    But what if the girls were present? How well can a government simulation work without women? “There was unfinished business at Boys State,” McBaine told the Guardian, “which is that every time a cluster of boys or the legislature or even candidates at Boys State brought up the topic of abortion, it got very awkward very quickly. Because to their credit, many of the boys felt like it was not okay to talk about that issue without girls in the room.” The two wanted a Girls State, where such issues would be top of mind. “What we didn’t know, timing-wise, was how top of mind it was going to be,” said McBaine.

      The week in TV: Manhunt; Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax; The Dry; Is University Really Worth It? – review

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Sunday, 17 March - 09:30

    Abraham Lincoln’s killer flees justice in a ponderous drama; four mothers fight back in a chilling sex crime hoax doc. Plus, the welcome return of Irish comedy drama The Dry, and degrees get the third degree

    I’m always ready to be educated by television, but should it feel like actual homework? Monica Beletsky’s new seven-part Apple TV+ drama, Manhunt , sounded compelling. Based on James L Swanson’s book Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer , it opens with the 1865 assassination of US president Abraham Lincoln. At Ford’s theatre in Washington, actor John Wilkes Booth (Anthony Boyle) shot Lincoln (Hamish Linklater) in the head, jumped on to the stage (breaking his leg), then escaped with help from Confederate sympathisers.

      Actor Noomi Rapace: ‘I came from a poor farm, I’m not educated, no one opened doors for me’

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Sunday, 3 March - 09:30 · 1 minute

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star on playing an astronaut, the significance of her surname and the time Orlando Bloom broke her nose

    Born Noomi Norén, the 44-year-old Swedish actor Noomi Rapace left home aged 15 to study acting in Stockholm. She broke through globally in 2009 when she starred in the film adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s bestselling novel The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo . She has since appeared in films including Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows , Ridley Scott’s 2012 Alien prequel Prometheus and the Icelandic folk horror Lamb . Rapace can currently be seen in Constellation , an eight-part Apple TV+ thriller in which she plays an astronaut, Jo Ericsson, who returns to Earth after a disaster in space to find parts of her life and her family subtly upturned. Rapace lives between London and Lisbon and has a 21-year-old son.

    In Constellation , you’re often not sure, as a viewer, whether what you’re watching is real or not. How would you describe the show?
    It’s all real… some sort of real. And that’s what Jo is trying to figure out: has she lost her mind? Is she psychotic? Is it a huge conspiracy? That’s what is so brilliant about Peter Harness’s writing: he doesn’t feed us easy solutions or truths. It feels like looking into a broken mirror. And I like watching films and shows that have that complexity, because it doesn’t treat me like I’m stupid.

    Andrea Riseborough and Domhnall Gleeson convince as a perma-turbulent couple; a devastating docuseries pays homage to the doomed Columbia space shuttle crew. Plus, ill-fitting wartime drama with Coco Chanel and Christian Dior and a sweet, old-school reality show

    What’s in the ether with sputtering, on-off romances at the moment? We’ve just had the Netflix adaptation of One Day (college couple circle each other for 20 years). Now, there’s Victor Levin’s Alice & Jack , a six-part Channel 4 drama devoted to decades-spanning romantic dysfunction. Part-directed by Juho Kuosmanen ( Compartment No 6 ) and Hong Khaou, if it’s meant as a TV valentine (the opener aired last Tuesday, 14 February), it’s an emotionally visceral one, with cerebral entrails dangling out.
