The Miracle of the Sargasso Sea review – Lynchian psychodrama in the sun

Criminal undercurrents in a sleepy Greek backwater provide the pretext for a disquieting spectacle of strangeness A drumbeat of anxiety and impending violence thuds insistently from this opaque, disquieting spectacle from Greek film-maker Syllas Tzoumerkas – who has previously directed challenging films such as Homeland (2010) and A Blast (2014) and was screenwriter on the excellent male-midlife breakdown satire Suntan (2016). Tzoumerkas’s movie goes out on a creaking limb of weirdness. It’s a bizarre, occasionally almost Lynchian film, alienated and alienating, interspersed – initially, at any rate – with dream-visions of biblical scenes in the burning sun. Its borderline preposterous narrative may simply be the pretext for its tableau of strangeness and bacchanal of dysfunction. Continue reading...

Love Factually by Laura Mucha review – the 'science' of who and how we love

From intense early lust to placidly watching TV in onesies – a nosy parker’s guide to the chemistry of love “True love is like the appearance of ghosts,” François de La Rochefoucauld thought, “which everyone talks about and few have seen.” The 1980s pop sensation Howard Jones asked: “What is lo-o-o-ve anyway? Does anybody love anybody anyway?” As both these authorities agree – not to mention those who maintain variously that it’s a “battlefield”, a “drug”, a “many-splendored thing”, or “a stranger in an open car who’ll tempt you in and drive you far away” – love is a tricky concept to get a handle on. Here is a cheery, chatty book with a smile/wince-inducing play on words in the title and a slightly misleading subtitle, offering to make things clearer. Laura Mucha usefully tells us, for instance, that the ancient Greeks used no fewer than seven different words for love, one of which wasn’t even Greek: _storge_ (for the natural affection a parent feels for a child), _eros_ (for romantic love), _ludus_ (for playful affection between children or casual lovers), _philia_ (for loving friendship), _pragma_ (for “mature love, including patience, tolerance and compromise”), _philautia_ (for self-love), and _agape_ (for “selfless, unconditional love that expects nothing in return”).
