The closest thing Vincent has to a scion of his own the orphaned Paloma can be written into the family mythology (i.e. its rebrand campaign) with some careful finessing in addition to being a generational talent the essence of everything we need now.” Vincent bristles at her invocation of le wokisme precisely because he’s less of a threat in the long term and he can retake the throne after the current occupant embarrasses himself Never mind that Vincent has been repeating ideas for years—that the black gowns that have become Ledu’s signature may as well be funeral shrouds Paloma is at once Ledu’s surest bet and its riskiest gamble; when she débuts her first handbag for the house she finds that her exacting ethical standards actually invite harsher scrutiny she’s more a conduit for debates roiling the industry—over diversity cancel culture—than a believable character in her own right Previously the head of a Berlin-based label that traffics in unpolished designs and even less polished lefty messaging a preposterous choice to run the high-end Ledu: her pants are sewn together from scraps of other pants She rails against luxury firms stoking and exploiting “the frustration of people who don’t have money”—then expresses a near-exclusive interest in haute couture Such a disconnect is revealing of larger issues: for every knowing wink at a Dolce & Gabbana stumble or the fabled genesis of the Birkin bag especially when it comes to the characters of color The Korean client whom Vincent rages against likely wouldn’t need a translator to converse with the English-fluent designer; nor would an insider like Paloma be surprised that the Ledu enterprise is propped up—like almost all major luxury houses—by the sale of purses and perfume if “La Maison” occasionally falters on the runway it is sure-footed as a study of the rich cannibalizing their own That two fiefdoms are in play—Rovel and Ledu—adds to the sense of glamorous disarray who looks like an even more dashing Yves Saint Laurent is a howling lion done in by what he considers a mere thorn in his paw; the nouveau-riche Diane who’s rarely seen without her achingly heavy gold jewelry is a tigress slow to realize that the daughter she bats around for sport is growing into a predator to be reckoned with The dysfunctional dynasties make a fascinating contrast; every unhappy fashion house While Vincent has pointedly refused to cultivate a successor—and stunted once promising candidates like Robinson—Diane veers to the opposite extreme pitting several potential heirs against one another so that only the most cold-blooded will emerge triumphant The Rovel mogul’s baroque backstory epitomizes the series’ penchant for corny melodrama thanks in part to Bouquet’s grounded performance as a woman who broke the mold for herself and simply can’t respect anyone incapable of doing the same Thus Diane joins the pantheon of abysmal parents in prestige (and prestige-aspirant) dramas expressing perennial disappointment in her daughter even as she forces her to compete against both her husband and her own child is dismissed as “a woman who builds her own cage.” Robinson himself reflects that his proximity to his famous uncle means that he’s seldom seen as anything more than an “opportunity” by the people around him—and yet he can’t help replicating the cutting hauteur with which his older relatives have whittled him down all his life His ambition of becoming a designer was snuffed out early such that the Ledu name is all he has to offer But a family pathology is a kind of inheritance A long-ago crime, suddenly remembered A limousine driver watches her passengers transform The day Muhammad Ali punched me What is it like to be keenly intelligent but deeply alienated from simple emotions?

Print Film Critic Before it whisks you off on the sunniest most extravagant Singaporean holiday imaginable “Crazy Rich Asians” begins on a curiously dark and stormy night When Eleanor Young (a mesmerizing Michelle Yeoh) arrives dripping wet at an exclusive London hotel the snob at the front desk declines her booking and advises her to stay elsewhere (“May I suggest Chinatown?”) He’s hopelessly unaware that he’s dealing with one of the world’s wealthiest families or that the tables will soon be satisfyingly turned In this juicily poised score-settler of a movie the crime of underestimating an opponent is always met with a swift the first and last time a white actor appears on-screen — makes a nice teaser for the movie itself Directed with an exuberantly personal touch by Jon M Chu from a spirited if uneven script by Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim this adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s 2013 international bestseller is many things: a tour de force of lifestyle pornography; a slick enjoyable divertissement; a surprisingly trenchant study of class and cultural difference it’s a concerted effort by a long-neglected Hollywood minority to storm the big-studio citadel and possibly even beat it at its own game It’s been more than a decade since “Memoirs of a Geisha” and “Letters From Iwo Jima,” the last major studio pictures to feature all-Asian ensembles and a full quarter-century since “The Joy Luck Club,” the last such production to grapple with the puzzle of contemporary Asian American identity Those ridiculous statistics have saddled “Crazy Rich Asians” with equally ridiculous expectations; that future Asian-led projects are riding on this movie’s box-office success makes it awfully hard not to root for But it’s even harder not to root against a system predicated on such offensive conditions in the first place The commercial triumph of recent movies as varied and culturally specific as “Black Panther,” “Get Out,” “Hidden Figures” and “Coco” may have shattered boundaries but what really needs shattering is the notion that people of color should have to earn the right to see themselves depicted in the first place “Crazy Rich Asians” wouldn’t have to prove or represent anything but itself That pressure may at least partly explain the script’s anxious which feels both touchingly awkward and wholly appropriate to the giddy aspirational fairy tale it’s selling The film’s heroine is not the formidable Eleanor but rather the sweet a New York economics professor who has been dating Eleanor’s dreamily handsome son Due back in Singapore for the wedding of his best friend Nick is serious enough about Rachel that he invites her to come and meet his family whom he’s been fairly tight-lipped about until now It’s not until she finds herself flying first class that Rachel begins to guess why that might be the case But it falls to Rachel’s quirky college pal Goh Peik Lin (a terrific Awkwafina) to inform her that she’s basically dating a Rockefeller Peik Lin breathlessly recaps how the Youngs and other families left China generations ago for this small island nation and transformed it into a cosmopolitan wonderland Flaunting their Oxford degrees and living in tropical-baronial splendor these billionaire clans sneer at mainland China and its nouveau riche vulgarians But they reserve a special contempt for Americans with their selfish insistence on individualism over family loyalty an Asian American career woman like Rachel isn’t just a fish out of water to borrow one of the movie’s nastier later images; she’s a fish in a Darwinian shark tank Rachel is regarded as little more than a gold-digger by Nick’s boorish buddies smirking aunties and beautiful ex-girlfriend (Jing Lusi) She also gets a polite but frosty greeting from Eleanor who’s determined to keep her son from marrying someone so ill equipped to shoulder the Young dynasty The most important judgment will be rendered by Nick’s grandmother steel-willed matriarch played by the veteran Chinese American actress Lisa Lu (in a moving tip of the hat to “The Joy Luck Club”) But Rachel has her allies among Nick’s family including his glamorous cousin Astrid (Gemma Chan) who lends a sympathetic ear when she isn’t off buying up Parisian couture and the equally style-conscious Oliver (Nico Santos) ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ cast, crew at historic premiere: ‘This is more than a movie. This is a movement’ » Director Chu makes a similarly energetic emcee smoothly orchestrating a dizzying flow of narrative and visual traffic and sensibly not even trying to avoid the trap of reveling in what he satirizes (the massages Best known until now for cranking out “G.I Chu has an exquisite eye for color and movement (check out his work on “Step Up 2 the Streets”) that comes vibrantly into play here He and cinematographer Vanja Cernjul nail the porcelain elegance and the gilded vulgarity that often define obscene wealth whether they’re framing the lovely green-walled interiors of the Young family homestead or turning a gaudy wedding reception into a Baz Luhrmann hallucination All this color-coordinated razzle-dazzle actively improves on the book insofar as staring at luxury brands is vastly preferable to reading a laundry list of those brands in print The movie has a harder time managing the novel’s narrative bloat and density: Juggling enough material to sustain a 10-episode series the script reduces several of Kwan’s supporting characters to one note apiece from the tepid melodrama of Astrid’s crumbling marriage to the flat-footed farce of Nick’s movie-director cousin Alistair (Remy Hii) and his tacky starlet girlfriend (Fiona Xie) Some of the ensemble’s most recognizable funnymen are relegated to a quick scene or two including Ronny Chieng (“The Daily Show”) as a status-conscious Hong Kong cousin Yang (“Silicon Valley”) as a spoiled-rotten bachelor exaggerated feel to much of the comedy overall as if the filmmakers were nervous about not everyone getting the joke or uncertain of their audience; hence one character actually explaining what she means when she calls someone else “a banana.” a memorable tiger-mom spitfire on “Fresh Off the Boat,” makes a complete reversal here as a sympathetic Lizzie Bennet-like heroine who schemes only in self-defense incarnates the screen charisma of a young Tyrone Power; he has only to flash his mega-watt smile to slip a scene into his immaculately tailored pocket The power of that smile may partly explain why the filmmakers chose this biracial British Malaysian actor to play a Chinese Singaporean — a decision that has riled casting purists and suggests just how many representational burdens this movie will be forced to bear It’s silly to think that any one picture could ever stand in for a place a realm of experience as vast and intricate as the Asian continent and its countless diasporas and like any movie about the pleasures of the aristocracy “Crazy Rich Asians” will inevitably be criticized for what it isn’t and never attempted to be You can probably expect a think-piece excoriating Chu for not making his generation’s “Bicycle Thieves.” Still others may take him to task for recycling a standard Cinderella fantasy as if a movie were no more than the sum of its most basic narrative parts Images and ideas matter; so do sounds and smells I can’t remember the last time Hollywood produced a Cinderella fantasy with a mouth-watering foodie montage at an open-air hawker market or a makeover sequence scored to a Cantopop cover of “Material Girl.” These may be incidental pleasures but they’re no less significant than the movie’s distinct emphasis on family as we see when the Youngs gather to make dumplings together in a scene that brings the central dramatic tension painfully to the fore (Between this and Pixar’s “Bao,” it’s been quite a summer for won-ton cruelty.) The dumpling scene is one of several in which Wu and Yeoh politely lock horns and as much as your sympathies may veer toward Rachel you can’t help but hang on Eleanor’s every word sometimes startlingly vulnerable performance that never lapses into dragon-lady stereotype Yeoh brilliantly articulates the unique relationship between Asian parents and their children devotion and sacrifice that binds them for eternity For those parents and children in the audience Some of us have been struggling with these sentiments all our lives How are we only now hearing them for the first time Mandarin and Malay with English subtitles) See the most-read stories in Entertainment this hour » justin.chang@latimes.com @JustinCChang Justin Chang was a film critic for the Los Angeles Times from 2016 to 2024.

And with a slew of celebrities like model Jordan Dunn and Julianne Hough recently going for the look I've got three options for you to jump on board this train you can always slap on a wig like Kylie Jenner: If that's your answer, Ricky's would be good places to start. The gala itself is no surprise – Le Riche has for years been regarded as Paris's leading male star and his departure was always going to be commemorated in style for Le Riche is far from being the most jet-setting or self-promoting of stars we've had only occasional sightings of him as guest partner to Sylvie Guillem or more recently with Tamara Rojo when he partnered her in ENB's performances of Le Jeune Homme et la Mort Reading on mobile? Click here to view "It makes me think of – if you excuse the analogy – a boxing match trying to understand how the other person works .. to understand not only my partner's approach to the character but also the physical expression: how she moves I am very attentive to all these sensations It's also very human: two people trying to connect through their differences but trying to anticipate the other's actions and learn how to respond the way he connected with his partners was magical," says Le Riche Reading on mobile? Click here to view He's referring here to his partnership with Rojo in Jeune Homme and while there's no online footage of their partnership, this clip of Le Riche and Sylvie Guillem in John Neumeier's La Dame aux Camelias hints at the depth of his connection not only with his ballerina but with the music and character he's inhabiting Guillem will also be dancing with Le Riche in the Paris gala an additional reason why so many fans have been disappointed not to see the event live and why so many will be watching it online But if it's very smart of Paris to stream Le Riche's final performance shouldn't audiences expect to see more of their favourite dancers' farewell shows and because so many dancers have to stop at the point where their knowledge and artistry are still at a peak their retirement can be a difficult and very emotional transition for them It's the reason why final performances figure so large in the dance community: what can seem on the surface to be no more than a luvvie effusion of flowers kisses and sentiment is also a theatre of collective gratitude and grieving that fits perfectly with the ephemeral nature of the art form Now, with the all the improved resources of the internet, British fans would equally have relished the chance to see Daria Klimentová's final show when she retired from English National Ballet in June. YouTube offers only Klimentova's curtain call and the unself-conscious sweetness of the moment – at about 3.30 minutes – when Vadim Muntagirov who gave her the last and best five years of her career fell to his knees to kiss the hem of her skirt Since Carlos Acosta has given two years' notice of his plans to move on to a career beyond ballet it shouldn't be beyond the wit of someone to broadcast or live stream his last performance with the Royal Ballet Dance fans have historically been masters of an irksomely competitive nostalgia a you-should-have-been-there-that-night brand of one-upmanship the internet makes it possible for everyone else to be there But ENB has a three-course banquet for all tastes a nerd’s-guide-to-classical-ballet finisher - and in between Nicolas Le Riche in Roland Petit’s winey Le Jeune homme et la mort Petit was France’s most exciting choreographer for decades to become a favoured guest in British companies One of his last acts before his death two years ago was to permit ENB to acquire his ballet which is an eyecatching vehicle with only two seats brazenly confessed that she persuaded Paris Opera Ballet’s Le Riche to dance the work with her as a present to herself It doesn't matter that Paris’s most exciting star for the past 20 years is 41 now - in his one-shouldered denim dungarees he is homme incarnate electrically quick and stupendously hot as the eponymous young man lounging about in his garret waiting for someone (probably a girl) to turn up he idles about in working time - he is every inch the scrounger on benefits so the girl who knocks at the door is not a benefits inspector but Death In the Nureyev-Jeanmaire film version Bach's Passacaglia is heard on the organ with reproachful religious associations - Respighi's soupy orchestration for the live performance drowns the old Catholic guilt in purple musical melodrama The young man veers between electrifying leaps and the freeze of a rabbit in headlights as Death runs her gloved hands lasciviously over his back Georges Wakhévitch's grand set unfolds like an explosion at the end producing the Paris skyline like a rabbit out of a hat Le Riche takes it all with mesmerising seriousness He gradually blocks the remorseless femme fatale out of his glazing vision and when he hangs himself it is because some opaque existential loss within him has knocked the support out of his ability to live part-mother-part-killer in those early outings Jiří Kylián’s Petite Mort (pictured above by David Jensen/ENB) makes a complementary hors d’oeuvre to this spicy entrée but it can’t help being completely eclipsed by the Petit’s sheer ballsiness "Petite mort" is the picturesque French term for orgasm and the pictures aim to be sexy - both men and women in rather medical flesh-coloured corsetry the women hugging the black ball dresses they may just have taken off The impression is rather of a high-class bordello as two Mozart piano concerto slow movements lay a velvety rug under the male-female couplings Yet there’s something uncommitted and over-selfconscious about the movement - the pairs seem engaged less in mutual discovery than in an poseurish sort of ballet semaphore and the movement abjures intimacy with the music The 14 dancers evidently enjoy being bare-skinned and tightless - Ksenia Ovsyanick and Daria Klimentová bringing contrasting dynamics respectively - but more conviction would be needed to make this pale stuff less soap and more musk Though I’m still not sure that would do it Harold Lander’s 65-year-old Etudes (pictured above by David Jensen/ENB) is one of those classroom ballet-cum-display pieces that aim to reassure viewers that the dance company does know its stuff and ENB has the technique and synchro discipline to pull off the display all right It is no more than a running commentary on the drill of ballet class which aims to show the gradual maturing into art but it is 50 minutes long - longer even than The Rite of Spring - and the initial rather intriguing demonstrations by the girls of the mystery of ballet technique before long cede into third-rate episodes of vaguely “romantic-style” and “classical-style” performance the mettle of the dance exercises become arty whimsy Lander not being Ashton or Balanchine or Petipa based by Karl Riisager on Carl Czerny’s piano exercises ceases to be a quite amusing underpinning for barre practice and becomes a blasted bore Erina Takahashi led the troops with her usual feminine delicacy but needs more of the ballerina grand style to lend this the sophisticated wit it begs for which markets itself as the international ballet Oscars Ksenia Ovsyanick and ENB's house choreographer George Williamson in the male dancer female dancer and choreographer categories Other nominees include the Royal Ballet's Edward Watson and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon Prizes to be announced in the Bolshoi Thatre Watch ENB's trailer for Le jeune homme et la mort Find @ismeneb on Twitter More information about text formats We urgently need financing to survive.
