Kevin Hart thinks everyone should stay out of the situation between Will Smithand Chris Rock.

On the latest episode of the Drink Champs podcast, Hart, 43, addressed whereSmith and Rock stand after the March 27 Oscars incident, saying it’s betweenthem, not outside parties.

“People make mistakes, and from mistakes they should be allowed time to f–in’recover,” the actor/comedian said. “And that this is no longer the world’sproblem — it’s Will and Chris’s problem. Let them deal with that. The worldshould step out of it and let them recover.”⁠

He later added, “Let Will recover from it. Let Chris get back to work asnormal. Let two men be men and figure that out if they choose to. If they do,they do. If they don’t, they don’ t.”

Hart also said that Smith, 54, is a “legend” who paved the way for more moviestars to be given chances in Hollywood, adding that no one can take thatlegacy away from him.

“Will Smith is the reason why the idea of ​​African Americans attached toglobal IP is normal. Studios took the gamble on more leads of color because ofthe work that Will Smith, Denzel [Washington] were doing in the beginning,right? You need the faces that are giving the universal return. So I’m notgonna s– on Will and act like he hasn’t been and wasn’t that guy.”⁠

In July, Hart told Entertainment Tonight that Smith was working on himselfafter the incident: “Will is apologetic, you know. He’s in a better space, ofcourse, than what he was after. People are human, and as humans sometimes wemake mistakes. So it’s not about talking about the past, it’s aboutacknowledging the present and doing your best to move forward.”

Hart said at the time that he’s still friends with both Smith and Rock, addingthat he hoped they can make amends.

“I can only hope that the two of them find a way to find some solace in thatand move past it. I just like good energy. I love to see people be the best. Istill love him; I still love Chris. You can’t judge a person by one thing.Ultimately, life goes on and people grow, so give him the opportunity to doso.”

At the Oscars, before his win for Best Actor, Smith walked onstage and hitRock on live television after taking issue with a joke made about his wifeJada Pinkett Smith. The joke was about Jada’s shaved head; she lives withalopecia, and Will explained in a statement days later that the punchline was”too much for me to bear” and he “reacted emotionally.”

Smith later resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences andwas banned from attending its ceremonies for the next 10 years.

Jada, 51, addressed the incident on an episode of her Red Table Talk show,saying, “About Oscar night: My deepest hope is that these two intelligent,capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile. With thestate of the world today, we need ’em both, and we all actually need oneanother more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what wehave done for the last 28 years — and that’s [to] keep figuring out this thingcalled life together. Thank you for listening.”

In a video apology shared earlier this summer, Smith said he has reached outto Rock about speaking about the incident. He said, “I’ve reached out to Chrisand the message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk, and when he ishe will reach out. So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. Mybehavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.”

A new book is shedding light on the final days of the late Anthony Bourdain.

The travel host died by suicide in June 2018 at age 61 while in Kaysersberg,France to film an episode of his series Parts Unknown with close friend andFrench chef, Eric Ripert. PEOPLE reported at the time that “he was giddy” inthe weeks before his death because of the release of the CNN show’s Hong Kongepisode, which was directed by Bourdain’s girlfriend Asia Argento.

But the Italian actress and Bourdain, who was still married to his estrangedwife Ottavia Busia at the time of his death, had a troubled relationship, asis revealed in an exclusive excerpt below from Down and Out in Paradise byCharles Leerhsen (out Oct. 11). The unauthorized biography includes his well-documented rise to fame from a Vassar College dropout to a food superstar whotraveled 250 days out of the year. how Down and Out in Paradise stands apartfrom the handful of other works which set out to tell Bourdain’s story, iswith intimate details from his final days in France, taken largely from textsand emails on his phone and laptop.

Argento said in Sept. 2018 that the pair “cheated” on each other. “It wasn’t aproblem for us,” she said. A fight via text with Argento, included in the bookand below, after she was spotted by paparazzi with French journalist HugoClément, tells a different story.

Reads one of Bourdain’s last texts: “You were reckless with my heart.”

(Argento did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment, but told the NewYork Times “I clearly wrote to [Leerhsen] that he could not publish anythingI said to him.”)

It seemed like all they did was fight. Mostly she complained about him beingtoo possessive. Later Argento would say, “I always told him my kids camefirst, my work came second, and he came third.” One of his main worries,though, was that he would someday come fourth or fifth, behind her man or menof the moment. It wasn’t simple jealousy that was gnawing at him, he tried toexplain in private exchanges with her; it was his fear that she would destroytheir chances of sharing their lives by getting involved with outsiders. Thedistinction may seem subtle, but it was important to him.

Story continues

Their relationship had evolved by June 2018 into something bizarrelycomplicated and decadent even by the standards of celebrities and others notbound by the usual societal—or logical— considerations. As far as he knew, shehadn’t been with anyone else in their time together except her ex-husband,Civetta—though both agreed they theoretically had every right to haveadditional lovers (as long he steered clear of Ottavia). He apparently hadmaintained no side relationships since meeting her except for the prostituteshe continued to frequent, presumably telling himself they didn’t count becausethere was no emotional involvement and because he and Argento were sofrequently separated. Meanwhile he did his best to keep Argento loyal to himby giving her money and moral support as well as by ingesting large amounts ofsteroids, human growth hormone, and Viagra so that his age was less likely tocome between them. It was this world-class mess of what once had been a loveaffair that Tony was desperately trying to keep going when—with him justsettling in to begin the Kaysersberg shoot with Eric Ripert—Argento showed upon the paparazzi websites cavorting in the streets of Rome (and in the lobbyof the Hotel de Russie, where she and Tony had enjoyed romantic interludes)with a handsome young French journalist named Hugo Clément. Sometimes, ifrarely, the ZPZ crew had welcomed Tony and Asia’s phone fights, thinking theymight end in a permanent breakup. These phone fights were different.

A mysterious Twitter account called @justicefortony—it has since been takendown but it is thought to have belonged to a member of the ZPZ crew—put outthe word that Tony and Argento “started fighting on Tuesday, June 5. Tony hadto leave the set multiple times to talk to her on the phone.Things escalatedon Wednesday when by all accounts she told him she no longer wanted to be withhim.Everyone was keeping an eye on him all day and night because he wasincredibly distraught. screaming phone calls through the day. By Thursday heseemed to be better and kind of wanted everyone to back off.”

One possible reason for his elevated mood was that he’d had a good time thenight before when, with the cameras rolling, he and Ripert had visited a twoMichelin star restaurant called JY’s in the nearby town of Colmar. Theproprietor and chef, Jean-Yves Schillinger, had with Tony fifteen yearsearlier when he’d had a place in New York City; and as Tony and Ripertexperienced his high-toned take on Alsatian cooking, memories came rollingback on waves of crisp local whites. Toward the end of the meal, Schillinger,a handsome blond Frenchman of fifty-five, proposed that he, Tony, Ripert, andthe crew make a beer run to Freiburg, Germany, thirty miles to the southeast,for a nightcap—and off they all went like a bunch of spring breakers. PartsUnknown was not regularly broadcast in Kaysersberg, which accounted forTony’s anonymity there, but it did air in Freiburg, and as soon as Tonyentered the crowded beer garden he became Anthony Bourdain again, therecipient of allos , cheers , and hearty handshakes, all of which hereturned with a wide smile. “He enjoyed every minute of it,” Schillinger toldme when I visited his restaurant. “He lit up like the Tony I once knew.Everything was normal.”

That night before he went to bed, Ripert, who had the room next door to Tony’sat their hotel, Le Chambard, and who had of course been worried about hisfriend, put his ear to the wall and heard peaceful snoring, and slept betterhimself as a result.

His whole adult life, drinking and eating with friends had been Tony’sdefinition of joy. And he had a particular affection for the hearty cuisine inthat sauerkraut-scented corner of the world. But the night out with friends,away from his phone, may well have triggered a moment of self-discovery. Bybriefly reliving his past with Schillinger and Ripert and his crew, he mayhave gotten a glimpse of how far he had come. By experiencing what he hadbeen, he may have seen more clearly what he’d turned into—a character out of asordid, slightly deranged James Ellroy novel, a doomed and desperate lover whohired a private detective to soil an obscure kid actor for the sake of a womanwho respected him less for each effort he made on her behalf. The kind of manwho had talented, loyal people living in constant fear of being banished froma show for which they’d worked hard and given up much to make great. It was anespecially horrible thing for Tony to learn about himself, that he had losthis integrity in pursuit of a woman who seemed to spend her life performingfor the paparazzi and clowning on Instagram, but perhaps there was someconsolation and peace in finally seeing things for what they were.

The next day Tony was fighting with Argento again. She was pulling out of theIndia episode in which she’d been scheduled to appear, she said, because shecouldn’t stand him and his possessiveness. His browsing history showed that inthe last three days of his life he googled “Asia Argento” several hundredtimes. On the night before he died he was involved in a text exchange withher:

AB: I’m okay. I am not spiteful. I am not jealous that you have been withanother man. I don’t own you. You are free. As I said. As I promised. As Itruly meant.

But you were careless. You were rackless with my heart. my life. The Russian.. . It’s only that that hurts’, my A.

Perhaps it’s in both our characters. But you are always honest with me. I wantto be honest with you.

I don’t begrudge you this part of you.

As I hope you will not understand me.

But it’s that stings.

I meant and mean everything I have ever said to you. But I hope you will havemercy on me for these feelings.

AA: I can’t take this.

Argento goes on by saying that she can no longer stay in her relationship withBourdain, who has shown that he is all too similar to the other men she hasdated.

AB: It would have been so easy to have helped me out here. I required solittle. But “f– you” is your answer.

As they continue their dialogue, she complains about his “idiotpossessiveness,” calls him a “ducking [sic] bourgeois,” and tells him to “callthe f–ing doctor.” “I am the victim here,” she says.

AB: My A. I can’t believe you have so little affection or respect for methat you would be without empathy for this.

After the next day’s shoot, Tony turned down Ripert’s suggestion of dinner andwent out by himself. He ate a lot and drink a lot. Ripert got up in the middleof the night and again put his ear to the wall, but he heard nothing.

If you’re tired of our rainy little country, buy a cinema ticket to Ticket toParadise to be in sunny Bali for an hour and 45 minutes. It’s entertaining towatch Julia Roberts and George Clooney fall in love again, but it’s even morefun to watch them bicker.

You often hear people complain that they don’t make rom-coms like those from25 years ago – one with a charming cast, witty script and iconic location.Ticket to Paradise promises to meet all those requirements and that’s whyit’s the Film Review of the Week here Subway.

Always working formulas

Fortunately, there’s no shortage of comedy in this movie, especially whenDavid (Clooney) and Georgia (Roberts) fire insults at each other. They playdivorced parents who are forced to see each other again because their daughteris head over heels to marry a seaweed farmer in Bali. To prevent theirdaughter Lily (Kaitlyn Dever) from saying yes, they bury the hatchet and tryto stop the wedding together.

It is a classic formula of various clichés. Exes who reunite, enemies who fallin love and have to work together against their will. It works well in Ticketto Paradise. You’re waiting for Clooney and Robers to realize they’ve fallenin love again, and when that moment finally arrives, it doesn’t disappoint.

good friendship

George Clooney and Julia Roberts have been seen together in cinemas before.Money Monster and the Ocean s franchise are just a few examples. They havealso been good friends all these years. Roberts recently told in an interviewwith bazaar that the Clooneys saved her from loneliness on the set of_Ticket to Paradise._ The actor took his family with him, but not Roberts.“This is the longest period I have ever been away from my family. I haven’tbeen alone that long since I was 25.”

Dolphin Fail in Ticket to Paradise

You understand in the first fifteen minutes why the film Ticket to Paradise_is called. You see on the screen the beautiful landscape of an Indonesianisland. At least, that’s the illusion the viewer gets. The film was not shotin Bali at all, but in Australia. Another actress we encounter in the film isBillie Lourd. She plays Wren, daughter Lily’s best friend. The two actressespreviously played together in Olivia Wilde’s _booksmart, a more modern andvery good version of Super Bad. Wren is surprisingly not a superfluouscheerful note, partly thanks to her the dose of jokes is finely divided.

One of the lesser aspects of the film are the dolphins. Of course, such adazzling scene of the sea cannot be missed, but when you see the CGI-createdanimals, you actually want to look away because of how fake it looks. It isalmost inconceivable that the film has a budget for A-list actors, but not forgood special effects.

Julia Roberts’ long-awaited rom-com return

The director of this movie is Ol Parker. He wrote and directed, among otherthings: Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again , the sequel to the story of the samename in which a daughter tries to bring her parents together on a sunnyisland. The plot is not original, but it is entertaining.

What makes this movie worth watching is the acting of the lead actors. Despitenot appearing in rom-coms for twenty years, Roberts has certainly notforgotten it. Ticket to Paradise isn’t going to be a classic like prettywoman or notting Hill it is a nice addition to her careerere. Thechemistry that the Oscar -Having winners together makes this predictablestory easily manageable.

It’s a great movie to watch if you want to get away from the real world for awhile. Don’t assume plot twists or wow effects: it’s actually exactly what youexpect. During the credits, the viewer will see all kinds of bloopers passingby. That gives even more the feel good vibe again, because it becomes clearthat the cast is also joking with each other outside of the acting. You areguaranteed to leave the cinema with a smile on your face.

The Queen’s death comes after a year of various health issues. In October2021, she stepped out with a walking cane. The same month, she canceled ascheduled trip to Northern Ireland under medical advice from her doctors andspent a night in the hospital.

Queen Elizabeth also decided not to appear at the Remembrance Day ceremony inNovember due to a sprained back and did not celebrate a traditional Christmaswith the royal family at Sandringham, partially due to the uptick in COVID-19cases around the holidays.

She tested positive for COVID-19 in February. She was being monitored for mildcold-like symptoms while continuing to carry on light duties, according toBuckingham Palace.

After the Queen appointed Liz Truss as the new prime minister of the UnitedKingdom at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on Sept. 6, two days before her death,Buckingham Palace announced the following day that the Queen would not presideover a scheduled Privy Council meeting so she could rest.

The monarch’s state funeral was held at Westminster Abbey in London on Sept.19, gathering 2,000 leaders and royals from around the world. The service wasfollowed by a committal service at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle,where she was later buried in a private ceremony beside her husband PrincePhilip, her father King George VI, her mother Queen Elizabeth the Queen Motherand her sister Princess Margaret .

Those girls’ faces. The eyes that can’t believe it. Their smile when it turnsout to be true. A week or two ago, Disney showed a teaser of their newmovie, a remake of The little Mermaid , not a cartoon, but one with realpeople. Immediately after that went on TikTok videosviral that mothers made oftheir daughters watching themovie. “I think she’sbrown,” says oneI thinkshe’s not even four years old yet. Another, eight at most, is taken aback bybewilderment. “She’s brown, like me.” At about the same time, the hashtag#notmyariel came to life online, because there are always people who thinkthat Ariel should have red hair, white skin, and blue eyes, or green, purpleif necessary, but certainly not brown.

I had to think about it when I went to Talking about color watched, a seriesthat HUMAN broadcasts every evening this week. At an impossible time, wellafter noon, film and television makers talk to each other about diversity andrepresentation in their work. I translate that as: do we see color on ourscreens and if so, does that color match how people of color see themselves?In sets of two, a “color maker” and a “white maker” watch a film clip andthen, according to the broadcaster’s press release, “respectful exchanges takeplace.”

Actor Daniël Kolf showed actor Jacob Derwig a piece from The East , in whichtwo Dutch soldiers execute five Indonesians. Kolf thinks it’s great that the’black pages of history’ are now material for film makers. Jacob Derwig mustfirst admit that he thought it was quite a “masculine” film. Two female roles.bit parts. “One is a whore, the other a mother.” His eyes for the role ofwomen in theater or film only opened five years ago, he says. That was whenactress Jacqueline Blom damned to star in his adaptation of a play by Chekhov.Also in it: two female roles. A prostitute and a mother with little or notext.

They never see themselves on TV

The conversation between writer Manju Reijmer and Pieter Bart Korthuis onTuesday evening was overflowing with benevolence and mutual understanding. I’mnot saying that to be lame, but the people in this series already seemedpretty awake to me about where their blind spots are. That does not mean thatthe scales can still fall from your eyes. On Wednesday evening, culturalentrepreneur Hui Hui Pan and actress Jennifer Hoffman sat opposite each other.A piece was shown from beef funk, in which a Chinese meal delivery lady istaunted by a customer and keeps smiling silently. But this was a satiricalprogram anyway, the scene was meant to be cringe-inducing, it was a joke.That’s not the problem, says Hui Hui Pan. The problem, she says, is that thereis no counterpart to that image of that silent Asian woman who allowseverything. “I have three small children, they never see themselves on TV.”She used to wish herself blond hair and blue eyes, and now her daughter doesthat again, or: still.

And suddenly I was back at that ballet performance, at least sixteen yearsago, it was Christmas. In the main hall of the Muziektheater in Amsterdam,broken expensive tickets, packed hall. Sleeping Beauty, with all thetrimmings. One daughter next to me, the youngest of three on my lap. At firstshe loudly noted that there was no talking on stage. Stupid. Then SleepingBeauty came dancing on stage. Dead silence on my lap that I held for rapture.But it was utter amazement, or rather: disappointment. Her childish voice rangover the back of her heads. “Sleeping Beauty is Chinese.” And princesses mayhave hair as black as ebony, but the skin is always white. How easy is it tocolor those faces?

CelebritiesBritish actor James Buckley (35) can call himself the first non-American celebrity to have earned the sum of 1 million dollars (about 1.03million euros) by making personalized videos via the Cameo platform. “He isvery dedicated,” it sounds.

Cameo is a United States-based platform for celebrities and everyday people.Fans can request a personal video of the star of their choice, although for afee. Cameo includes actors, musicians, YouTubers, athletes, etc. ‘TheInbetweeners’ star James Buckley has now managed to become the first-ever non-American celebrity to raise a whopping $1 million thanks to Cameo. He startedit in March 2020 to earn a little extra during the pandemic. That clearlyworked out very well for the actor.

Cameo co-founder Martin Blencowe told LADBible: “When ‘Harry Potter’ actor TomFelton tried to persuade James to join Cameo, he was hesitant because hedidn’t think he would get many bookings. Popular from the start, it remainedcommitted to its fans and kept an accessible price. He always does everythinghe can to make every Cameo message special.” That’s not all. Martin confirmedthat James has also created the largest number of Cameos for fans around theworld. The actor has about tens of thousands of videos to his credit.

Competition

Buckley may be the highest-earning non-US star on Cameo, but in America thishonor goes to ‘The Office’ star Brian Baumgartner. He told BBC: “This isn’tabout me, or about getting a message from me. I see it as an attempt by twopeople who want to connect, a connection. When I see how many people seem toenjoy this, it’s more than worth it.”

Among the more than 30,000 other stars that can be found on Cameo are many bignames, including Lindsay Lohan, Caitlyn Jenner, ‘Harry Potter’ actor TomFelton, ‘The Lord of the Rings’ star Sean Astin, Dolph Lundgren and actorsfrom the hit series ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Game of Thrones’.

Find out who I really am, what I want in mylife and find out what makes me really happy (and what doesn’t). I’m coldturkey I stopped demolishing my body and I consciously opted for a long mediasilence.”

Troubled Period

Hazes took a break last year due to an emotional burnout. He went through anextremely troubled period after he left his girlfriend Monique Westenberg,with whom he has a son, for Sarah van Soelen. Eventually that short-livedromance also ended. Meanwhile, the wildest stories were circulating aboutHazes’ various addictions. He previously confirmed that he has been working onthat. In a photo from March this year, the artist was very emaciated.

“When I had True, I found out 48 hours before she was born that Tristan wascheating on me, and then I went into labor weeks early because I was sostressed out,” Khloé said on last week’s “Kardashians” premiere, whichdepicted the arrival of Khloé and Thompson’s second child together viasurrogate. “We did have a couple bumps in the road,” Khloé acknowledged, butsaid she believed the two “were really good.”

The Good American co-founder reiterated to Kim in Thursday’s episode that shebelieved she and Thompson were in a good place ahead of the scandal.

“When we’re in the peak of our relationship, you go ahead and cheat on me?”Khloe said. “I don’t even want to know what you do in the worst of ourrelationship. I’m just like shame on me, almost. I know better, and I didn’tdo better because I had so much hope and faith. “

Celebs can ‘have it all’ and still be cheated on. What does it mean forthe rest of us?

Tristan Thompson, formerly of the Cleveland Cavaliers, shares two childrenwith his ex, Khloé Kardashian.

Khloé told producers the hardest part of the whole order is learning “to un-love” Thompson.

“This was my life for six years, and we weren’t just a couple, we genuinelywere best friends,” she said. “He was my workout buddy. We did all thesethings together, and so learning how to undo all those things, that takestime. Just because someone does you dirty doesn’t mean you fall out of lovewith them instantly.”

1. What kind of museum was this?

As Adam Verver, the wealthy art collector from Henry James’ novel The GoldenBowl (1904) wanting to give something back to the thousands of workers whomade him immensely rich, he decides to build a museum full of masterpieces: a“house with open doors and windows, from which the highest knowledge” radiatesover “grateful, thirsty millions”.

Many museums in Europe and America have been influenced by this classicalidea. And now a new offshoot has been added to that tree: the renovated RoyalMuseum of Fine Arts in Antwerp. As a child I thought it was an intimidatingmajestic building. It lifted the square in front of it, the streets andhouses, as it were and transformed the then poor Scheldt city, with chip shopsunder rusty viaducts and holes in the pavement, into a true metropolitan fairytale.

Inside the museum, Flemish primitives and the great masters of the FlemishBaroque were on display. The latter took up so much space with their giganticaltarpieces, where no one meter more or less looked at linen, that it made youdizzy. On the roof of the museum were two triumphal chariots with proudlytrotting horses in front of them and winged angels behind the reins. It seemedas if they were riding out into the world, and we were riding along.

That building became dusty and silent. Climate installations were no longer inorder, the original architecture became less and less visible due to smallrenovations inside and the varnish on the paintings yellowed.

2. What does it look like now?

Since last weekend, the museum, which originally opened in 1893, has beenrestored to its new splendor. The facades gleam in ivory white. In the groundsin front of the main entrance, a fountain designed by Spanish artist CristinaIglesias slowly trickles down to your feet.

Inside, the walls are painted olive green, antique red or bright Pompeian red.Ceiling decorations have been restored to their shine, retaining walls havebeen removed, doors have been bricked up and the old central pedestrian routehas been cleared. Under the floors of the museum, a nuclear-free air-raidshelter of concrete and steel has been crushed with pneumatic hammers.

Also read it interview with KMSKA director Carmen Willems : “We can tellabout Rubens’ whole life, but the absolute top work is not hanging here.”

A masterpiece has arisen in the four old courtyards: a completely new museum,placed in the old building and invisible from the street. The minimalistdesign by KAAN Architecten from Rotterdam is characterized by a rigorousseparation from the old building, with all its frills and stately elegance.This new museum is accessible via a ‘stairway to heaven’: an endlessly highstaircase bathed in white that dissolves every step you take in light.

3. How to find your way?

According to the management and board, the museum is a ‘labyrinth’, but thatis not so bad. The architecture of the old and new building is too symmetricalfor that. And the Antwerp museum is nowhere near as big as the Prado or theHermitage in St. Petersburg, where you can spend days and still not seeeverything.

With the exception of the show rooms with paintings by Rubens, Jordaens andVan Dijck, each room has a theme: power, colour, form, sky, horizon. Thesethemes are somewhat of the ‘picked from the fruit basket’ caliber, but theyalso make for surprising ensembles. Old art may be mixed with new art and viceversa.

A good example in the old building is the blood-spattered Kings of Egypt(1982) by the American graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (on loan fromMuseum Boijmans Van Beuningen). The painting hangs next to a magnificent early16th-century toddler portrait by Jean Clouet of the chalk-white heir to thethrone of King François I. Basquiat has his Egyptian king’s crown hoveringover skulls, because, as he once noted, many kings die early. The pretender tothe throne in Clouet’s portrait would never become king, because he died whenhe was eighteen.

The modern art can be found by entering the ‘stairway to heaven’ and via thedrawing cabinet clad in sublime night blue to the top floor. There are againtwo parallel rooms, built around light shafts. One of the most creativecombinations here is a sizzling flamethrower made Big Sun (1965) by ZEROartist Otto Piene, next to a small Madonna (1470-1500), painted by afollower of Dieric Bouts and the enigmatic two springs (1910) by Gustave Vande Woestyne. It is the color red in different nuances that connects thepaintings, but also makes them differ enormously from each other.

4. Are there great 20th century masters?

The surprising suspension ensures that you look and compare while walking backand forth. What is striking is that the KMSKA does not have a world-classtwentieth-century collection. Collecting modern art was slow, directors choseconservatively, very subjectively, cheaply (for lack of money) and local.Great international masters are missing. French Impressionism, GermanExpressionism, Cubism, the abstract art inspired by Mondriaan and also thefollowing movements: there is little. The modern masters in the Antwerp museumare mainly Flemish masters.

5. Which Madonna is the most beautiful?

The museum owns no fewer than seventy paintings depicting Mary. The mostbeautiful and unforgettable is that of Jean Fouquet (circa 1450). Although therooms with altarpieces by Rubens are officially the halls of honour, the roomof Fouquet’s Madonna, surrounded by cherubim and seraphim, is the undeniablehighlight of the museum. This is primarily due to the way in which Fouquetpainted the virgin untouchable, almost like a statue. Her white bare leftbreast contrasts sharply with the blue-purple of her dress and the red of thecherubs behind her. Her eyes are almost closed as she looks at the baby on herlap. A crown of pearls rests on her apparently hairless skull.

Around this Madonna, who according to the management will become the MonaLisa van Antwerpen, there are three other, equally intimate, paintings insmall format: The diagnostic look (1992) by Luc Tuymans, an exhibitionistmadonna by Marlene Dumas ( Give the people what they want 1992) and a veryloving Madonna at the fountain (1439) by Jan van Eyck. Together, these fourcertainly do not make up the most meters in linen, but they are the very best.

6. What surprises do you encounter?

In fact, the new museum inside the museum, invisible from the street, is thefirst big surprise. But there are more. Remarkably enough, the museum stilldoes not know how the largest altarpiece by the young Rubens, The Baptism ofChrist (1605), ended up in the museum at the end of the 19th century. Thedoors are not high enough, even if the door jambs are cut to the ceiling.During the renovation, the colossus measuring almost 6.5 by 4 meters washoisted through a special hatch in the floor to the underground depot, andfrom there it rose again. If you look closely at the skirting boards, you’llsee where.

Because everything is done in the halls of the Flemish Baroque giants toinspire awe, the decorations have been removed from the ceiling, cleaned wherenecessary and covered with a layer of gold. At least, so it seems. But thedecorations are ordinary aluminum and varnish. Brilliant, and just like real.

A large number of paintings were restored during the closure. Including oneexceptional masterpiece: James Ensors oyster eater from 1882. Ensor paintedhis gourmand at a time when he was experimenting with a light color palette.That light palette had become hidden under a layer of tan. After therestoration in 2020, the bright colors of the oyster-eater’s dress, thetablecloth, the cutlery, the lemons and the mother-of-pearl colors of theoysters will shine at you. All those shades of white: they form a shout ofjoy.

7. What vision does it express?

The Antwerp salons from the 19th century were by no means avant-garde breedinggrounds. Artists left for Paris, where innovation was not seen as disturbingand threatening.

The new museum still radiates that conservatism from then. Everything ismagnificent and radiantly clean, but the world outside the doors of the KMSKAdoes not seem to exist.

In fact, it seems as if it never existed. Discussions of colonialism,migration, feminism, social justice, any sense of where we come from and wherewe would like to go – not a word is said. And thus the KMSKA embodies theideal of James’ Adam Verver: it is beautiful, meditative but far removed from

What if your social status suddenly no longer matters? In his new satire’Triangle of Sadness’, the Swedish director Ruben Östlund turns the balance ofpower between rich and poor upside down. Good for a second Golden Palm inCannes.

“I like to compare myself to a little boy who pokes an ant nest with a stickto see how they will react,” Östlund said of himself eight years ago. That wasin response to ‘Turist’, his masterful tragicomedy about a man who, on askiing holiday, discovers – and his family with him – that he is not a hero atall. In the meantime, Östlund also added the acclaimed art satire ‘The Square’to his oeuvre and he has already completed a new film with ‘Triangle ofSadness’. But he’s still that same naughty and curious little boy.

The essence

• ‘Triangle of Sadness’ is a new social satire by Swedish director Ruben Östlund after ‘Turist’ and ‘The Square’. * The film follows a couple of young fashion models who receive an invitation for a very exclusive cruise with only wealthy passengers on board. * The farce examines the power relations between rich and poor, and how relative they are. * ‘Triangle of Sadness’ is often painfully witty, although he just as often misses the razor-sharp gaze from Östlund’s previous films. * At the Cannes festival, Östlund received the Golden Palm, just like for ‘The Square’.

The Swedish filmmaker likes to be inspired by the human behavior he seesaround him. Sometimes it concerns personal experiences, sometimesobservations, and sometimes also scientific studies from which he drawscertain insights. Östlund sees himself as a kind of sociologist, but with aweakness for moving images and a keen sense of humor.

Luxury Cruise

With ‘Triangle of Sadness’ it all started in the fashion world. The titlerefers to a term from aesthetic surgery, the wrinkles between your eyebrowsand the bridge of your nose. ‘I was interested in the idea that how we looklargely determines our social contacts,’ explains Östlund. ‘Moreover, it canbe a means of acquiring status. The question then is what a person does whenhe sees that beauty deteriorate.’

That concept is still part of the film, but as always, the project continuedto evolve and grow over the years. Ultimately, it has become a more generalnarrative about the fickleness and relativity of social status. The centralpart takes place aboard a luxury cruise, where the crew bends over backwardsto accommodate every whim of the wealthy (and petty) passengers. Untilsomething completely turns that situation around.

With a subject such as class differences and social tensions, it is notillogical that ‘Triangle of Sadness’ is more politically explicit thanÖstlund’s previous films. He admits that without any problem. For example, thecruise ship captain (played by Woody Harrelson) is a convinced Marxist, anideology the filmmaker knows all about.

“Those ideas were part of my upbringing,” he says. ‘My mother is still acommunist. In our home, the table was often about political and social issues.The curious thing is that hardly anyone in Sweden knows that Marx was also apioneer of sociology. Because we only know him as a founder of communism, heis a controversial figure. Which suits right-wing politicians very well.’

grab bag

Östlund himself has a nuanced view of Marxist ideas. “From a materialisticstandpoint, it seems clear to me that our behavior is highly dependent on thefinancial and social structures in which we live,” he says. “No one can denythat. Marx put his finger on that. I just don’t agree with his utopian viewthat a communist society would automatically be stable and free fromcorruption. For me, a fair and equal society is a struggle that is neverover.’

”

I want to make entertaining films that spark an intellectual and engagingdiscussion. “

That explains why Östlund does not point the finger at anyone in his films.His characters are all molded by the context in which they live. Yet in’Triangle of Sadness’ he strays further from recognizable characters than youwould like. Sometimes he throws a scene so sharp it’ll curl your toes – therestaurant bill situation is a gem – but often the film seems more like aloose grab bag of vague ideas.

It was therefore a surprise that the jury at the Cannes festival found himstrong enough for a Golden Palm (Ostlund’s second after ‘The Square’). It willbe Östlund worst. As he puts it: ‘I want to make entertaining films that sparkan intellectual and engaging discussion.’ ‘Triangle of Sadness’ certainly does
