In a cinematic love letter to London, filmmaker Michael Morris takes on the fourth chapter of Bridget Jones in a first stab at the franchise – though you’d never know it. The film is utterly and quintessentially Bridget: it feels like reuniting with an old friend, where you instantly fall into the familiar humour and realness that has made her one of the UK’s best-loved heroines of the last quarter century.

There might be no better depiction of being at the movies than Giuseppe Tornatore’s 1988 Cinema Paradiso. In wartime Sicily, little Salvatore befriends grumpy projectionist Alfredo; against the odds, a bond forms between them through a shared love of motion pictures. Decades later, Salvatore, now a Rome-based film-maker, returns to his hometown for Alfredo’s funeral, where he finds the beloved cinema of his past being demolished, to be replaced with a car park.
Equine therapy soothed my anxiety and helped me regain inner peace

Jan 5, 2024 | glamourmagazine.co.uk | Tamara Southward

Atop one of the marble sinks sits a plate of salt-sprinkled maple cookies, the epitome of Canadian comfort food, homemade by executive chef JohnRoss Woodland.
