In reality, getting hit by space debris may be no worse than a scratch&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1998 Hollywood offered us two meteorite-heavy films (&lt;em&gt;Armageddon&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Deep Impact&lt;/em&gt;) and, along with them, two potential solutions to stave off an impending meteorite-based disaster: either enlist Bruce Willis and Aerosmith to travel into space and blow up the offending rocks, or install Morgan Freeman as president and hope the whole thing blows over. The apparently planet-threatening rocks were back in the headlines this week with the sensationalist &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/oct/10/comette-family-home-damaged-meteorite?INTCMP=SRCH&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;news that a 4.5bn-year-old meteorite had hurtled into the roof of a Parisian home&lt;/a&gt; &ndash; housing a family called the Comettes, no less. Despite their builder claiming that only Superman himself had the strength to break the tiles, the 3.5oz meteorite in question became lodged in the house&#039;s glass wool insulation and was said to be the size of an egg. Madame Comette proudly chirped: &quot;A meteorite landing in your garden is magical and more unlikely than winning the lottery.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The prosaic reality of these occurrences are trumped only by their rarity, with the odds of being hit usually estimated to be several hundred thousand to one. In 2009, a 14-year-old German boy, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/5511619/14-year-old-hit-by-30000-mph-space-meteorite.html&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gerrit Blank&lt;/a&gt;, came into contact with a 30,000mph meteorite, escaping with minor scars. Alabama resident &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/meteorite-strikes-alabama-woman&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ann Hodges &lt;/a&gt;had a similar encounter in 1954 when a meteorite blasted through her roof while she was sleeping and pinged off her radio before grazing her on the hip. One apocryphal story among astronomers involves the so-called &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/aboutnakhladog.htm&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nakhla meteorite&quot; which was said to have struck a dog in 1911&lt;/a&gt;, though the canine&#039;s remains have never been found.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for wayward space systems re-entering Earth&#039;s orbit, the mass speculation about where these satellites will land upon returning to their planet of origin is often more interesting than the event itself. Momentary hysteria broke out earlier in the year when the six-tonne Upper Atmo sphere Research Satellite, launched in 1991 from the space shuttle Discovery,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2040818/On-alert-satellite-crash-One-3-200-chance-person-hit-18-000mph-control-craft-today.html&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt; threatened to fall to Earth at an unknown location.&lt;/a&gt; Despite anxiety that this bus-sized block of detritus would somehow engulf us all, it crashed to little fanfare, mostly breaking up over the ocean. A similar fate befell the Soviet Union space system &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg12917540.900-salyut7-heads-for-crashlanding--.html&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;Salyut 7&lt;/a&gt; in the early 1990s when it crumbled over the Argentinian town of Capit&aacute;n Berm&uacute;dez, scattering metal as it went, but leaving its residents unharmed. The best known of these incidents remains the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/tag/stan-thornton/&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;premature return of Nasa&#039;s Skylab system in 1979. &lt;/a&gt;Its remains were spread over the Australian coastline and the town of Esperance to little incident, though the &lt;em&gt;San Francisco Examiner&lt;/em&gt; offered $10,000 to the first person to who could provide the paper with a hunk of the space junk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only recorded person found to have been actually hit by falling space garbage was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/09/21/woman-gets-hit-by-space-junk-lives-to-tell-tale/&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;Oklahoma resident Lottie&amp;nbsp;Williams, &lt;/a&gt;who received a knock to the shoulder by debris from a Delta&amp;nbsp;2 rocket booster when walking through a park&amp;nbsp;in 1997, resurfacing to tell her tale only this year. &quot;I just want people to know this actually happened,&quot; said Lottie, going on&amp;nbsp;to mention that the whole banal affair was roughly about the same as being hit by an &quot;empty soda can&quot;.

The short answers to these questions are typically evasive which is probably why the introduction of a new technology that puts this debate to the fore has left us floundering in a social, philosophical and moral morass.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The web erodes our sense of what can be owned &ndash; whether it&#039;s ours or someone else&#039;s creation &ndash; because a virtual thing can be &quot;owned&quot; by a vast number of people at the same time. It becomes hard to pinpoint who can claim original rights to the thing and who has access to it. I can have a copy of a photo, a song, a document or a site on my computer, and a million other people can have the same on theirs. I can exercise ownership rights by giving these assets to whomsoever I like, and the person who originally created them can&#039;t do a thing about it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thus, with no obvious owner, and with a sense that, by virtue of its market abundance, a piece of content&#039;s value is cheap, it can be inferred that it&#039;s psychologically and morally justifiable to take ownership of things online by simply claiming them. But is what we&#039;re witnessing in the marketplace of &quot;the economy of the mind&quot; described by John Perry Barlow, cyberlibertarian, Grateful Dead lyricist and author of &quot;A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace&quot;, a shift in our psychological concept of ownership? Not really: it&#039;s just context.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no indication that theft of physical property is on the rise unless, as observed in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/london-riots&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;UK riots&lt;/a&gt; in August 2011, isolated incidents transform localised social norms to say it&#039;s OK. Contrary to the headlines, downloading stuff online hasn&#039;t made us more likely to pinch a DVD from a shop. No, as Brian Sheehan and his colleagues at Syracuse University reported in their paper &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15456870.2010.521471&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;Motivations for Gratifications of Digital Music Piracy Among College Students&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, we&#039;ll take control of things that appear &ndash; because of our social environment &ndash; to be there for the taking. Just like offline. It doesn&#039;t matter that the things that once were physical are now abstractions in the cloud that we tap into when we want them. What&#039;s changed is how much stuff we have access to that is &ndash; because of the social contracts we operate within online &ndash; seemingly free.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The proliferation of digital ephemera has not changed the psychological experience of ownership. Psychological ownership implies an identity transference, often due to some kind of investment. This still happens with digital-only creations and, frankly, is encouraged. Web developers offer extensive libraries of personalisation options to appeal to our desire to own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take an example from the game industry: massively multiplayer online games specifically design their products to encourage long-term interactions by giving players &quot;ownership&quot; of their avatars and virtual property. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2005/sep/08/whendevelopers&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;The demise of the game &lt;em&gt;Asheron&#039;s Call 2&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;at the end of 2005 caused widespread virtual protests and led some traumatised players to real-world therapy sessions because they felt they had lost pieces of themselves at the flip of a switch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Psychological bruises also appear when a thing is taken from one context without an owner&#039;s permission and put into a new one that doesn&#039;t mesh with the identity of the original owner. Uploading personal photos to social networks immediately divests them from an owner&#039;s portfolio; not only are they now the property of the social network developers, but they are assumed &ndash; because of how we&#039;ve socially constructed the online space &ndash; to be public property. They can be accessed and appropriated by anyone; Facebook photos are liberally snatched from open accounts and splashed across newspapers, as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/sep/20/stepping-hill-nurse-media-arrest&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;nurse Rebecca Leighton&lt;/a&gt; discovered after her arrest and subsequent release without charge over patient deaths last summer. The question of psychological ownership in the virtual world extends beyond the artefacts you create: even your identity is everyone&#039;s property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The system of social transaction we operate within online is not new, but the web has exploded it to a massive scale. The creative and legal outcomes are other people&#039;s concern: I&#039;m only interested in how the web affects the individual, and digital or not, the research demonstrates that the sense of psychological ownership over binary digits is extremely real. The conflicts are apparent: the perceived personal value remains the same, yet the norms of the space assert a free for all. Is the answer a psychological or social shift in the web-world towards a collaborative model of ownership? Given the research that says that psychological ownership has evolved because of our physical needs for security, food and reproduction, and for our social need to control, I&#039;d be surprised if such a shift occurred just because of a technology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Psychologically, we lay claim to things because they represent who we are and we derive pleasure from this form of self-expression. The web has created a rich transaction space with unknown boundaries. It&#039;s what we cannot control that&#039;s causing the problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/socialnetworking&quot;&gt;Social networking&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/internet&quot;&gt;Internet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/mmorpg&quot;&gt;MMORPG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/psychology&quot;&gt;Psychology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/facebook&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/games&quot;&gt;Games&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/alekskrotoski&quot;&gt;Aleks Krotoski&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Lacking protective shells, they have evolved potent chemical defences and many display brilliant warning colouration. Recent molecular studies indicate that opisthobranchs are not monophyletic &ndash; that is, they do not share an exclusive common ancestral species. Thus a challenge remains to precisely reconstruct the evolution of these and related groups, while at the same time exploring their species diversity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Terrence Gosliner of the California Academy of Sciences and colleagues reviewed Indo-Pacific species of the opisthobranch family Aglajidae in 2008, recognising 23 species from the region and pointing to what were probably 16 additional undescribed species. Ten more  have been described in the past three years including six new tropical species by Gosliner. Among these is &lt;em&gt;Chelidonura mandroroa&lt;/em&gt;, which has a black body marked by psychedelic yellow-outlined orange patches. The specific epithet mandroroa is appropriately derived from the Malagasy word meaning to hallucinate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;C mandroroa&lt;/em&gt; has been found off the coasts of Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Madagascar and Kenya, an impressively broad distribution for a newly recognised species. It was discovered crawling under or on coral rubble in shallow reefs at 8m to 13m depth.

British engineers set off last week to explore a lake that has been isolated from the rest of the planet for hundreds of thousands of years three kilometres under the Antarctic ice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Researchers from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bas.ac.uk/index.php&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;British Antarctic Survey&lt;/a&gt; (BAS) will use a hot-water &quot;drill&quot; to cut through the ice cap to Lake Ellsworth, on the western Antarctic ice sheet. By sampling the contents of the lake, which is liquid because of the extreme pressure of the ice on top of it, they hope to find clues about the evolution of life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The predominant mood among the scientists is one of intense curiosity. &quot;We really don&#039;t know what to expect,&quot; said Martin Siegert of the University of Edinburgh, one of the principal investigators on the expedition. &quot;Whether we will find lots of life, whether we&#039;ll find low levels of life on the edge of existence, or whether we&#039;ll find nothing.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In recent decades, scientists have found bacteria and other single-celled organisms that have evolved to live in conditions in which other life forms would struggle to survive, such as darkness or extreme temperatures or salinity. The scientists believe that Lake Ellsworth might be a haven for these so-called &quot;extremophiles&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;There is [also] a chance that viruses might well be there, bacteria might well be there and other more complex forms, but we don&#039;t believe other macro-organisms are down there,&quot; said Siegert.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;David Pearce, science co-ordinator at the BAS and part of the team that will make the measurements next year once the equipment is in place, said finding life in a lake that had been isolated from the rest of the biosphere for so long would reveal much about life on Earth, but &quot;if we find nothing, this will be even more significant, because it will define limits at which life can no longer exist on the planet&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whatever is found, it will shed light on the potential of life existing elsewhere in our solar system. Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter, has an icy crust with a liquid ocean underneath, and some astrobiologists think that life might be able to survive there. &quot;If life is teeming in Lake Ellsworth, then we know it&#039;s a very good habitat and it might change our appreciation of other places, Europa included,&quot; said Siegert.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lake Ellsworth will be the first of Antarctica&#039;s 387 known sub-glacial lakes to be sampled directly. &quot;We don&#039;t know whether the lake is 100,000 years old, 400,000 years old or a million years old or older,&quot; said Siegert. &quot;These are questions we need answers to.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All the equipment that will be sent into the lake will be pre-sterilised and bagged in clean rooms and laboratories in the UK. They will only be unsealed for use when they are in the boreholes &ndash; the samples of lake water, for example, will be brought up to the surface in pressurised titanium cylinders to preserve their contents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The team will have 24 hours to take all they need before the bitter cold causes the water in the borehole to freeze solid and seal the lake once more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The engineers who will install the equipment left for the Antarctic on Friday, taking with them around 70 tonnes of equipment. In a year, the science team will follow and spend four days drilling and taking their samples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;The detailed analyses will take place in the UK in the following months and it&#039;ll probably be, at the earliest, around Easter time [in 2013] before we would be prepared to tell everybody what&#039;s in there,&quot; said Siegert.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/antarctica&quot;&gt;Antarctica&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/evolution&quot;&gt;Evolution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/biology&quot;&gt;Biology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/alokjha&quot;&gt;Alok Jha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

The film, directed by Fernando Mereilles, is too bitty and fragmented, never allowing a character, setting or storyline to develop before nipping off on some tangential, frustrating bit-plot. We&#039;re all connected, says the film&#039;s schematic screenplay, right? On opening night, ran the joke at the after-party, half the BlackBerry users in the industry weren&#039;t. Outgoing LFF director Sandra Hebron has had a great record with her opening galas over the last 10 years, showcasing distinctive work even when the choices have been eccentric (&lt;em&gt;Fantastic Mr Fox&lt;/em&gt;) or downers (&lt;em&gt;Vera Drake&lt;/em&gt;). She&#039;s given us &lt;em&gt;Frost/Nixon&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Constant Gardener&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Last King of Scotland&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Dirty Pretty Things&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Eastern Promises&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gosford Park&lt;/em&gt;. The only other duff one was Jane Campion&#039;s &lt;em&gt;In the Cut&lt;/em&gt;, when Meg Ryan came over for that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blpq-Iwu25s&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;famous Michael Parkinson interview&lt;/a&gt;. Sandra is off to retrain as a psychotherapist &ndash; I wonder if she was swayed by the fact that one of the key messages in &lt;em&gt;360&lt;/em&gt; is delivered by a Parisian, female psychotherapist, who tells a lovelorn man, played by Jamel Debbouze, to follow his heart?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Waste Land? What a load of rubbish&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;An Oscar nominee earlier this year for her Brazilian rubbish-tip doc &lt;em&gt;Waste Land&lt;/em&gt;, British director Lucy Walker has now been shortlisted for next year&#039;s awards. Her latest is called &lt;em&gt;The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom&lt;/em&gt; and the Academy confirmed late last week that it is one of eight films through to the second round of voting in the documentary (short subject) category. The film, made on a visit to Japan straight after the tsunami last March, receives its European premiere on 26 October as a late addition to the LFF. Lucy travelled to the hard-hit north of the country, meeting survivors and capturing their efforts to rebuild their town and their shattered lives. It coincided with the cherry blossom season, and its spiritual, hopeful associations. Lucy told me: &quot;To be nominated and shortlisted in the same year is a bit too much for me &ndash; I feel very lucky. It also means I get to come back home to London for a bit.&quot; Lucy will deliver an masterclass interview after the film at BFI Southbank, providing insight into documentary and interview techniques alongside Britdoc&#039;s Jess Search.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make an effort, Jude&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;360&lt;/em&gt; star Jude Law trod the red carpet in a tweedy grey suit and wide-brimmed hat. The invitations state &quot;strictly black tie&quot;, and if it says that on the ticket, that&#039;s what you need to wear; particularly if you&#039;re getting up on stage and no matter what the state of your barnet. Jude wasn&#039;t the only one. Inside the Odeon Leicester Square, I saw several people in jeans, fleeces and trainers. The place is packed with security and burly bouncers, all keen enough to chuck us out of the cinema and the after-party at the Saatchi Gallery when it closed at 11.15pm. Surely they should be stopping the slovenly getting in?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Crazy love for Paul Simon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was Paul Simon&#039;s 70th birthday last week, on the same night Sundance winner &lt;em&gt;Like Crazy&lt;/em&gt; had its UK premiere at the LFF. This gave director Drake Doremus an extra thrill when I pointed out the coincidence, as his likably romantic film heavily features Simon&#039;s song &quot;Crazy Love, Vol II&quot; from &lt;em&gt;Graceland&lt;/em&gt;. Indeed, the album proves a major discussion point for the film&#039;s two lovers, played by Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, the young British actress who&#039;s rather special in it. Drake and Felicity have since made a follow-up film together, this time starring Guy Pearce. &quot;It&#039;s not a sequel to &lt;em&gt;Like Crazy&lt;/em&gt;,&quot; says Jones. &quot;It&#039;s more a companion piece &ndash; we shot it the same way, on the hoof, in three weeks, free and loose. It&#039;s a lovely way to work and not something I&#039;ve done much of before.&quot; As we toasted Paul Simon&#039;s birthday over cocktails after the film, it prompted a fierce debate: Simon and Garfunkel, or Paul Simon solo? Either way, only one of them was in &lt;em&gt;Annie Hall&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/london-film-festival-2011&quot;&gt;London film festival 2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/londonfilmfestival&quot;&gt;London film festival&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/jude-law&quot;&gt;Jude Law&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/fernando-meirelles&quot;&gt;Fernando Meirelles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/jasonsolomons&quot;&gt;Jason Solomons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Hannah (Olivia Colman) is a Christian woman running a charity shop who tries to help him, but provokes a violent response from her psychopathic husband (Eddie Marsan). Joseph&#039;s neighbour &ndash; a little boy &ndash; is repeatedly bullied by his mother&#039;s boyfriend and seems in constant peril from the guy&#039;s vicious dog. I don&#039;t want to give the ending away, but there are two unambiguously &quot;nice&quot; characters in the film, both of whom get physically and emotionally brutalised. There&#039;s one man who is merely drunk and racist. And all the other male characters are violent and murderous. I found it veered into the territory of misery tourism (and misandry): a film that will only show to middle-class audiences, asking us to come and look at how bestial people on estates live. I know that not every film has to be &lt;em&gt;The Full Monty&lt;/em&gt;, but I found the negativity so relentless that it shut me down. I realised, after an hour or so, that I didn&#039;t care what happened to any of the characters: I either hated them or pitied them, and that isn&#039;t enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Jason Solomons, Observer film writer&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Without doubt, &lt;em&gt;Tyrannosaur&lt;/em&gt; is a tough watch. However, the portrait it paints, both of its characters and its setting, is not what I&#039;d call bleak. I&#039;d say it&#039;s rather hopeful and humane, but maybe that&#039;s me sitting in my comfy screening-room chair in media-land Soho, feeling some pity for the poor sods on the screen and not knowing how hard it is for them to pull themselves out of their hell? But I really don&#039;t think it is that. I felt horror, pain, sadness but actually not pity. Pity is a cheap sentiment in art &ndash; sympathy and empathy are what good films demand of their viewer and &lt;em&gt;Tyrannosaur&lt;/em&gt; has that by the pint glass. I admit, I didn&#039;t fancy the film much going in as I&#039;d heard a lot about it being grim. But its overriding traits are honesty and commitment, from director and performers. Maybe those accusing it of being &quot;poverty porn&quot; don&#039;t think it&#039;s authentic, but its unhappiness isn&#039;t confined to the council estate &ndash; Olivia Colman and Eddie Marsan live on a middle-class estate, and their misery is perhaps greater than anyone&#039;s .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NH&lt;/strong&gt;: I agree that sympathy and empathy are what art requires of us. But I think that &lt;em&gt;Tyrannosaur&lt;/em&gt; fails on that front. The script lets it down: the big moment of humanity and togetherness comes at the wake for a man Hannah barely met. Suddenly, the humble poor launch into song in a pub together &ndash; exactly like the scene in &lt;em&gt;Educating Rita&lt;/em&gt; that really drives home to Rita that she no longer belongs with her own family and friends. But there, the scene is used in an ironic way &ndash; they&#039;re so bonded and she is so isolated &ndash; while in &lt;em&gt;Tyrannosaur&lt;/em&gt; it just seems like a cliche: Hannah suddenly realises that she can be safe and happy with these people. Also, I think if you are going to aim for grittiness, you need to be realistic above all else. And the idea that Hannah, a woman with a strong Christian faith, has no friends to whom she can turn is pretty unlikely. Has she never been to church? Never met anyone there? I think the plot of the film needed her to be friendless. Which is the wrong way round, for&amp;nbsp;my&amp;nbsp;money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JS&lt;/strong&gt;: Olivia Colman is wonderful as Hannah, although a Hannah completely without sisters, as you point out. But isn&#039;t it all a front with her? She&#039;s a liar and a coward to herself, shying away from the truth of her relationship at home, cowering in shame from the abuse and covering up her alcoholism with a veneer of religion. Just as she goes to the charity shop for work, she may go to church in the way that Peter Mullan&#039;s Joseph goes to the pub &ndash; to sit alone. That singalong scene is a false note, I agree, but I think the film&#039;s saying: sod the supposed places of social interaction (church, boozer, shop), you can quite easily erect a barrier or wear a mask so that no one will go near you. Joseph&#039;s is violence and rage, Hannah&#039;s is humility and fear. The film&#039;s tension and release is seeing how these two come together. Would you rather it was all lovely and tea-cosy, such as in &lt;em&gt;Made in Dagenham&lt;/em&gt;, or art-directed like a shop window, such as in &lt;em&gt;Angela&#039;s Ashes&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;The Color Purple&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NH&lt;/strong&gt;: Ha &ndash; I never really care about art direction (I know, I am the worst film reviewer ever). I care most about the story, always, and so long as that rings true, I can live with anything else. But no, I didn&#039;t find her to be a liar, and I didn&#039;t see her faith as a veneer. I think she gave a tremendous portrayal of a woman so paralysed by constant low-level (and sometimes high-level) abuse that she was simply shuttered down. Paradoxically, I think the power of all their performances was the film&#039;s undoing, in a way. Once again, I don&#039;t want to spoil the ending, which makes it tricky to argue this point, but here goes. I think the sheer molten horribleness of James (Hannah&#039;s husband), the ill-controlled aggression of Joseph and the martyred suffering of Hannah lead the film to a point where, to go all Aristotle for a moment, the desis is too tightly bound. The tying-up of the plot of a tragedy (desis) gets to a point where we long for the lusis (sudden unravelling of it all). And in this film, the performances make that unravelling almost impossible, so they have to go for, &quot;One year later&hellip;&quot;, which again seems cliched to me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JS&lt;/strong&gt;: &quot;Poverty porn&quot; does exist in movies, certainly. Even the honourable Ken Loach has sometimes been guilty of fetishising the working man. I find it happens when the director identifies in some glaringly autobiographical way with the outsider character, the little angel amid the squalor, the one who does want to read a book, go to university or get a job to get out of the ghetto/small town/suburb. Ricky Gervais&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Cemetery Junction&lt;/em&gt; was like that, and many sub-&lt;em&gt;Boyz n the Hood&lt;/em&gt; gangsta-style movies, too. I don&#039;t feel that with Paddy&#039;s film at all. Here, all the characters want out of their situations and it&#039;s all observed with tender compassion by the only God cinema ever knows, the director. If the chattering (or twittering) classes like me are guilty of peeking through the muslin curtains at how the other half lives, then it&#039;s only the general complicity involved in any viewing &ndash; I don&#039;t know what it&#039;s like in space, but I believe the world of &lt;em&gt;Alien&lt;/em&gt;, for example; same with hard-scrabble westerns or those little slumdogs or the favela kids in &lt;em&gt;City of God&lt;/em&gt;. When properly done, you only ever end up caring for a character. British social realism is a strong force in world cinema &ndash; when Karel Reisz and Lindsay Anderson did it in the 50s and 60s, it was considered &quot;good for you&quot;. I agree it&#039;s a turn-off for mass audiences who don&#039;t want to make an effort, perhaps, to spend 90 minutes on an estate like the one they live on or next to (I get enough of that at home, as the old critical saying goes), but if the masses are allowed escapism in the cinema, why not the comfy bourgeoisie, too?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only audiences who&#039;d be disappointed by &lt;em&gt;Tyrannosaur&lt;/em&gt; are those moaning there wasn&#039;t a bloody dinosaur in it, like the scheming prostitute played by Lucy Punch in Woody Allen&#039;s &lt;em&gt;You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger&lt;/em&gt; who complained to her pretentious sugar daddy (Anthony Hopkins), after suffering through a visit to the theatre, that Ibsen&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Ghosts&lt;/em&gt; wasn&#039;t even scary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tyrannosaur is out now&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/poverty&quot;&gt;Poverty&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/paddy-considine&quot;&gt;Paddy Considine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/peter-mullan&quot;&gt;Peter Mullan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/drama&quot;&gt;Drama&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/jasonsolomons&quot;&gt;Jason Solomons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/natalie-haynes&quot;&gt;Natalie Haynes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

To mention it is to be transported back to the 1970s, when there were only three TV channels, British food was awful, sex was naughty and Fleet Street was still the home of national newspapers. Back then computers were the preserve of boffins in white coats, but even if journalists had managed to lay their hands on some mainframe monster the size of a small house, and programmed it with all the ingredients of the perfect tabloid story, the results could never have matched the bizarre and compelling tale of a wannabe beauty queen&#039;s obsessional love.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Featuring a missionary, a kidnapping, bondage sex, naked photographs, a daring flight from justice, and even the Osmonds pop group, the story held the nation in its irresistible spell for the better part of a year. To some &ndash; not least herself &ndash; McKinney was the embodiment of the wronged woman. To others she was a kind of contemporary witch, able to manipulate people, particularly men, to her own ends and change identity at will.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yet while some aspects of the drama were as old as the battle of the sexes, its plot was radically unconventional. Like some riotous postmodern novel, the McKinney saga boasted at least one unreliable narrator, a debate about the subjectivity of truth, a feminist subtext, a theme on artificial celebrity, and a kind of cruel authorial joke at the expense of all the characters, including the press itself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thirty-four years on, the tale has been retold by Errol Morris in a jaunty and yet perceptive documentary entitled &lt;em&gt;Tabloid&lt;/em&gt;. The film looks at how myths are created both in the media and our own minds and suggests that even the most incredible falsehoods grow out of heartfelt desires. As Morris recently said about his film: &quot;It&#039;s a ridiculous story. But people are wrong if they think the profound and the ridiculous are incompatible.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When a Mormon missionary by the name of Kirk Anderson went missing on 14 September 1977 near Epsom, news editors scarcely blinked. There was plenty else going on at the time. In this disappeared world, pop star Marc Bolan was to meet his end in a car crash on 16 September, unions were in discussions to save British Leyland, the Paedophile Information Exchange was organising public meetings, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/law/2011/may/24/court-of-appeal-george-davis&quot; title=&quot;George Davis&quot;&gt;George Davis&lt;/a&gt;, the freed armed robber was rearrested for robbing a bank, and the tropical holiday arrangements of Princess Margaret and Roddy Llewellyn were held to be of national import.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But as the days, weeks and months unfolded, the back story to Anderson&#039;s abduction began to force its way into the headlines. By turns funny, kinky, sad and mystifying, it began in the Appalachian mountains, where McKinney, an only child, grew up in a small town in North Carolina. She was a bright and restless girl with a compulsive weakness for beauty pageants &ndash; which she frequently entered, seldom with success &ndash; and a strongly religious appreciation of morality. As she came of age her two guiding principles in life seemed to be celebrity and chastity. Perhaps inevitably they were destined to clash.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1973, having converted to Mormonism, she moved to Provo in Utah to study at the church&#039;s Brigham Young university. While in Utah she set about infiltrating the social circle around the Osmonds, the squeaky-clean family pop group that were the pride of the Mormon church. By various accounts she fashioned a relationship of sorts with one of the brothers, Wayne Osmond. In Anthony Delano&#039;s invaluable little book &lt;em&gt;Joyce McKinney and the Case of the Manacled Mormon&lt;/em&gt;, the author notes that Olive Osmond, the family&#039;s matriarch, was sufficiently concerned to take steps to keep McKinney away from her boys. There were also reports that when Wayne later announced his engagement to another woman, McKinney was devastated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not long after the Osmond crisis, McKinney met Kirk Anderson and the couple starting dating. In &lt;em&gt;Tabloid&lt;/em&gt;, McKinney, now a rotund 60-year-old, describes Anderson as though he were a heroic combination of Clark Kent and Gary Cooper. In reality he was an unprepossessing figure, overweight, ill-at-ease and, at 19, six years younger than McKinney.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to McKinney, they slept together, she lost her virginity and, overwhelmed by guilt, Anderson confessed his sinful behaviour to Mormon elders, who promptly put a stop to the affair. Anderson was moved out of Utah, and then dispatched abroad to England on missionary work in East Grinstead, Reading and finally Epsom. McKinney claimed the tryst had left her pregnant and that she miscarried.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Appalled by the church&#039;s reaction, she turned her back on Mormonism, but not on Anderson. She pursued him across America, first to California and then to Oregon, where, in an effort to escape her attention, he lived under an assumed name. And when Anderson was then sent to England, McKinney employed a detective agency to find him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an accomplice, a man named Keith May, she embarked on her own mission: to get Anderson back. The two conspirators flew to England and, using an imitation handgun, abducted Anderson and drove him to a secluded cottage in Devon. Exactly what took place in the cottage during the following three days remains the subject of dispute. But all parties agree that at one stage the Mormon was tied to a bed while McKinney repeatedly had sex with him in an effort to become impregnated. McKinney has always maintained that the bondage was a game designed to ease Anderson&#039;s guilt about sexual enjoyment. Anderson insisted that he was effectively raped. After three days he was allowed to leave. McKinney and May were then quickly arrested and held on remand in prison for three months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although many British industries were in decline in the 1970s, the newspaper business was thriving, particularly at the tabloid end of the market. The biggest selling daily paper was the &lt;em&gt;Daily Mirror&lt;/em&gt;, with a circulation of around 4 million. Close behind and rapidly gaining ground was the &lt;em&gt;Sun&lt;/em&gt;, with its page three &quot;stunners&quot; and salacious populism. The &lt;em&gt;Mirror&lt;/em&gt; liked to think of itself as a campaigning newspaper with a roster of celebrated columnists, but it was always on the hunt for titillating stories and few were more titillating than that told at Epsom magistrates court in late 1977.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McKinney had been desperately trying to get word to the press during her incarceration. When committal proceedings were held to decide whether the case should go to trial, she got her chance to go public. She demanded that reporting restrictions be lifted and then spoke at length to the court about such matters as the erotic benefits of oral sex, as reporters feverishly scribbled, unable to believe the gift of ready-to-print copy forming in their notebooks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If McKinney was never quite the fabulous beauty of her imagination, she was blonde, shapely, with a sweet face and, most beguiling of all, a comely Southern accent. And she had read &lt;em&gt;The Joy of Sex&lt;/em&gt;. As far as the press was concerned, she was the Scarlett O&#039;Hara of sexual liberation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The prosecution argued that McKinney was a stalker whose &quot;all-consuming passion&quot; had led her to abduct Anderson and force him to have sex. The barrister for the crown read out Anderson&#039;s submission: &quot;She grabbed my pyjamas from just around my neck and tore them from my body. The chains were tight and I could not move. She proceeded to have intercourse. I did not want it to happen. I was very upset.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alas the &lt;em&gt;Daily Mirror &lt;/em&gt;was initially unable to publish this emotive testimony because it was unable to publish a newspaper, at least in the south of Britain. It was locked into one of its periodic industrial disputes, this time with the National Union of Journalists, and printing was suspended at its London presses. Fortunately the hearing lasted several weeks, enough time for the reporters to resolve their action and record McKinney&#039;s extraordinary final speech.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At one point in that bravura performance she held forth to the magistrates on the psychology of sexual submission. &quot;I think I should explain sexual bondage and Kirk&#039;s sexual hang-ups,&quot; she said. &quot;Kirk was raised by a very dominant mother. He has a lot of guilt about sex because his mother has overprotected him all his life&hellip; He has to be tied up to have an orgasm.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the quote that was a sub-editor&#039;s fantasy came during the extended declaration of her feelings for Anderson. &quot;I loved Kirk so much,&quot; she told the court, &quot;that I would have skied down Mount Everest in the nude with a carnation up my nose.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Jean Rook, the doyenne of the &lt;em&gt;Daily Express&lt;/em&gt;, put it with characteristic understatement: &quot;Never had a woman laid her soul and everything else so bare, or declared her passion in such richly scented, spine-chilling language.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was as if McKinney had studied the tabloids and served them exactly what they wanted. Given that she had little else to occupy her for almost three months in Holloway prison, that is probably precisely what did happen. &quot;She knew how to turn a phrase, did Joyce,&quot; says Mike Molloy, the &lt;em&gt;Daily Mirror&lt;/em&gt;&#039;s editor at the time. &quot;Like everyone else, and not just in the tabloid press, I was riveted.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But if she had the reporters eating out of her hand, the magistrates were less impressed. They referred the case to trial, although they did now grant her bail. And that&#039;s when the fun really started. Although she was obliged by her bail conditions to live with her parents, who had come over to Britain, and their temporary landlady in north London, McKinney soon set about enjoying her new-found fame.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With Keith in tow, she toured Fleet Street&#039;s offices looking to sell her story for &pound;50,000. She promised to expose the Mormon church and the Osmond family, and took out an advertisement in &lt;em&gt;Variety &lt;/em&gt;seeking the attention of agents and film studios. Her sharp routine in and out of court didn&#039;t go unnoticed. If she was capable of such show-stealing turns, news editors began to wonder, could her story of a sheltered life really make sense? And what had she been up to in the two years between leaving Utah and coming to England?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the &lt;em&gt;Mirror&lt;/em&gt;, Molloy had more urgent concerns. He was trying to build his spring advertising campaign around the sexual revelations of George Best, who was then living in Los Angeles. The series was to be called &quot;The Best XI&quot;. Molloy despatched Kent Gavin, a photographer who knew Best, to California to persuade the footballer to confide his bedroom secrets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best wasn&#039;t interested but while he was in LA, Gavin received&amp;nbsp;a tip-off that McKinney had once shared a flat in the city with a man named Steve Moskowitz. Gavin, a tenacious newshound, tracked down Moskowitz and promised to fly him to London to see McKinney&#039;s trial at the Old Bailey that was due to start in May.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I had no idea what we were going to unearth,&quot; Gavin remembers. &quot;He was an ex-boyfriend and he was crazy about her. It turned out that he was a real freak but he opened the doors for us.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The following day Moskowitz turned up at Gavin&#039;s hotel with a stash of photographs featuring McKinney in various nude poses, mostly with an S&amp;M theme. He also told Gavin that the former Mormon had worked as an escort and that reporters from the &lt;em&gt;Sun &lt;/em&gt;had been in touch with him, though he had told them nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fearing that the &lt;em&gt;Mirror&lt;/em&gt;&#039;s rivals would beat him to the story, Gavin trawled through McKinney&#039;s phone bill, searching for soft-porn photographers and the all-important negatives. He also dug out adverts for McKinney&#039;s services in the classified sections of free magazines. &quot;Spending that amount of money these days on what could have been a wild goose chase &ndash; it just wouldn&#039;t happen,&quot; says Gavin. &quot;Those were the glory days of Fleet Street. Money was no object anywhere round the world.&quot; The whole investigation took him around three weeks but he found what he was looking for and headed back to London with a bulging file of lurid evidence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only problem was that the &lt;em&gt;Mirror &lt;/em&gt;couldn&#039;t run the story. There were no moral doubts. Molloy and Gavin both thought that McKinney deserved to have her secret past exposed. As far as they were concerned, she was trying to make money out of a false image, conning not just the law but, perhaps less acceptably, the press. Yet anything published about McKinney before the trial would be contempt of court, and in April 1978 the trial suddenly looked like being indefinitely postponed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peter Tory is a former RSC actor who drifted, almost by accident, into journalism. When McKinney was doing the London rounds, Tory was deputy on the William Hickey gossip column in the &lt;em&gt;Daily Express&lt;/em&gt;. He would go on to edit the column, but at the time his good friend, Peter McKay, who is now responsible for the Ephraim Hardcastle column in the &lt;em&gt;Daily Mail&lt;/em&gt;, was in charge. Noting McKinney&#039;s popular appeal, McKay suggested that Tory should take the out-on-bail American along to the premiere of a Joan Collins film entitled &lt;em&gt;The Stud&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tory is the star of &lt;em&gt;Tabloid&lt;/em&gt;. With his suavely diffident manner that is reminiscent of Bill Nighy, he&#039;s a gifted and entertaining anecdotalist. He tells me that his memory of the McKinney story has been kept active by repeated retellings at dinner parties over the past three decades.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Peter [McKay] was always one for getting other people to do things,&quot; he recalls. &quot;So I dressed up in a dinner jacket and put dark glasses on and turned up outside the Empire with Joyce McKinney in a Rolls-Royce. There were a great number of photographers. She enjoyed every minute of it, behaving like a seasoned Hollywood star, posing this way and that way for the cameras. Any idea that she&#039;d been exploited by anybody is absolute nonsense.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Photographs of the event show a beaming McKinney in the kind of dress Elizabeth Hurley would later make a career falling out of. Whatever McKinney was projecting, it wasn&#039;t an image of God-fearing modesty. Tory recognised a fellow performer, someone who slipped so effortlessly into a role that she became the act and the act became her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;When I went to Ascot with a top hat, I was rather like Joyce McKinney,&quot; he says. &quot;I used to believe I was William Hickey. The strange thing about being William Hickey is that there were people who thought you were William Hickey. I remember Jeffrey Archer once calling me up from New York trying to impress some publisher. He said, &#039;Is that Bill?&#039; I said, &#039;Who&#039;s this?&#039; He said, &#039;Jeffrey Archer.&#039; I said, &#039;It&#039;s Peter Tory here Jeffrey, why are you calling me Bill?&#039; &#039;Ah Bill, how are things? How about lunch next Wednesday, Bill?&#039; So one played this sort of strange double role.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Tory the McKinney stunt was just another mad adventure in what was a non-stop Fleet Street party, before newspapers were dispersed to hermetically sealed offices in different corners of London. He reminisces about the expenses-fuelled largesse that brought together journalists from rival papers in drunken unity. &quot;Mike Molloy used to phone me up at 12.30 and say &#039;Peter do you fancy a drink?&#039; And I&#039;d go into his office and have a drink and there would be two Jaguars in the underground car park of the Mirror building that had been warmed up with chauffeurs ready and all of us hacks would be driven off to El Vino, which was only about 300 yards away, and then we would spend about two hours there drinking. And not fine wine but drinking large whiskies.  To my certain knowledge, in those days most of the papers were written and edited by people who were technically drunk.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the most striking contrasts in this story is between the female teetotaller McKinney and the hard-drinking male hack pack. For a while at least, it was the sober American who outwitted the inebriated Britons. Within days of &lt;em&gt;The Stud &lt;/em&gt;premiere, McKinney had vanished. She didn&#039;t turn up at the police station as required by her bail agreement. Instead, with the help of her landlady, whom she had charmed to her cause, she and May assumed the identities of&amp;nbsp;two dead Mormons and slipped out of the country in disguise, pretending to be a pair of deaf mutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Initially Tory felt as though he&#039;d been duped, used as a kind of decoy, as McKinney readied herself to flee. Then one evening, a week or so later, in his office, he received a call from McKinney, who was back in the States.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;She said she wanted to sell her story to the &lt;em&gt;Daily Express&lt;/em&gt;,&quot; Tory recalls. &quot;She gave me all this bullshit that it was the only paper she trusted and I was the only journalist she trusted. She said she wanted &pound;40,000 in a suitcase. I said, &#039;Just hold on&#039;, and I went through to Derek Jameson&#039;s office, who was the editor. I said: &#039;I&#039;ve got Joyce McKinney on the telephone and she wants to sell her story to us.&#039;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Derek nearly fell off his chair. &#039;Fuck me,&#039; he said, &#039;what does she want?&#039; I said she wants &pound;40,000 in a suitcase, and so he said, &#039;Well give it to her, give it to her.&#039; So I rushed back to the phone and told her that would be fine, and where was I to meet her.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Armed with a worrying amount of cash, Tory flew out to meet McKinney and May at the Hilton Atlanta Airport. The two fugitives turned up in greasepaint, dressed &quot;like characters from a really bad amateur production of Ali Baba&quot;, recalls Tory. As a gossip columnist, he didn&#039;t have any experience of major stories so the &lt;em&gt;Express &lt;/em&gt;sent along the head of their New York bureau, Brian Vine, and a photographer, to help out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paranoid about the FBI, whose agents she feared were tracking her, McKinney insisted that the group move from hotel to hotel around the southern states as Tory took down her story. It was a largely anodyne if self-glorifying narrative, and Tory believed every word. &quot;She told it in a colourful way,&quot; recalls Tory, &quot;but there was no sense that she had ever been anything but a sweet country girl and she got caught up in this business in London, and everything was part of a Mormon conspiracy. I thought it was a bit boring really, but I thought, here am I involved in a great scoop. I was never a proper reporter.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, in London, the &lt;em&gt;Mirror&lt;/em&gt; had got wind of the &lt;em&gt;Express&lt;/em&gt;&#039;s &quot;scoop&quot;. In one sense the &lt;em&gt;Mirror &lt;/em&gt;team was disappointed. They hoped that it would be the &lt;em&gt;Sun &lt;/em&gt;that swallowed McKinney&#039;s apple-pie ramblings. But it also meant that the &lt;em&gt;Express &lt;/em&gt;was going to risk contempt of court charges, which strengthened the &lt;em&gt;Mirror&lt;/em&gt;&#039;s own case for publishing. In any event the word Molloy was hearing was that neither the British police nor judiciary were keen to see McKinney back in the country or the dock. To all intents and purposes, the trial was history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So it was that on Monday 22 May 1978, the &lt;em&gt;Daily Express &lt;/em&gt;published the Joyce McKinney story under the front page headline &quot;My Undying Love&quot;. She was photographed in a roll-neck sweater, smiling with a carnation in her teeth. &quot;For the first time yesterday,&quot; read the opening paragraph, &quot;Joyce McKinney talked freely about the love affair behind her astonishing sex-in-chains kidnapping case.&quot; She described her love for Anderson as &quot;tender, profound, indestructible&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the same day, the &lt;em&gt;Daily Mirror&lt;/em&gt; also had McKinney on its front page. This time she was naked and staring at the camera with a less-than-innocent expression. The headline was &quot;The Real McKinney&quot; and the report began: &quot;She called herself Little Miss Perfect. But there was another side to the runaway beauty queen Joyce McKinney. As a sex hostess she earned $25,000 in 18 months on America&#039;s shady vice circuit.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seldom can two newspapers have run such graphically contrasting versions of the same story on the same day. Holed up in a hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, McKinney, Tory and the rest of the extended group waited to hear news of how the &lt;em&gt;Express &lt;/em&gt;story had fared in Britain, all of them utterly unaware of the &lt;em&gt;Mirror&lt;/em&gt;&#039;s contribution. When a friend of McKinney&#039;s phoned and told her what had happened, she became hysterical.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;It was like something from &lt;em&gt;The&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Exorcist&lt;/em&gt;,&quot; says Tory. &quot;She screamed and screamed and she appeared to me to be about to jump off the balcony. She ran for the balcony and tore the curtain down. I thought, God, she&#039;s going to go over the edge and there were these American tourists underneath in deck chairs &ndash; she would have taken them with her.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tory and Vine took McKinney to a nearby hospital, where she was sedated. They then called her parents who arrived at the hotel early the next morning. By then the effects of the sedative had worn off and McKinney became upset again, going so far as to sink her teeth into her father&#039;s arm. The commotion drew attention, as Tory recalls: &quot;Two state troopers turned up in cowboy hats and dark glasses in this small hotel room that had all these people in there: me, Brian, the photographer, Keith May, the parents and Joyce. Joyce was sitting there looking like Ophelia in a nightie, staring eyes and her hair all over the place, and Keith May looked very alarmed. The state troopers asked us what was going on, so we tried to explain the story to them. One of them &ndash; it was like Laurel and Hardy &ndash; he actually took his hat off and scratched his head at one stage as we were talking about East Grinstead, Mormon church, tied to the bed. They were completely baffled by it.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They weren&#039;t the only ones. The following day the &lt;em&gt;Express &lt;/em&gt;tried to dismiss claims of a &quot;lurid past&quot;. &quot;At no time,&quot; Keith May was quoted as saying, &quot;did she pose in the nude.&quot; The same day the &lt;em&gt;Mirror &lt;/em&gt;ran photographs of her sitting on a horse, entirely unencumbered by clothing. The &lt;em&gt;Express &lt;/em&gt;gave up. Jameson, the editor, walked into the pub next door to the &lt;em&gt;Mirror&lt;/em&gt;, announced his &quot;surrender&quot; and bought everyone a drink, and his paper made no further mention of McKinney. But the &lt;em&gt;Mirror &lt;/em&gt;ran still further revelations, illustrated with images of McKinney in various states of undress with whips and other suggestive props. Only the announcement on the Friday of a crisis in the Lib-Lab pact finally forced McKinney off the front page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Six years later McKinney was arrested at Salt Lake City airport, where Anderson worked. In her car were a set of handcuffs, some rope and a notebook detailing Anderson&#039;s movements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, McKinney, who has never married, maintains that hers was &quot;the greatest love story ever told&quot;, and dismisses the &lt;em&gt;Mirror &lt;/em&gt;expos&eacute; of her LA years as malicious fabrication. In &lt;em&gt;Tabloid&lt;/em&gt;, Morris sensibly avoids taking sides, allowing the various protagonists to put forward their own recollections without editorial comment. The result has not pleased McKinney, who turned up at several screenings around the States protesting against a film in which she had been a willing participant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By contrast, Tory and Gavin both sing Morris&#039;s praises. What they are less positive about is the current state of tabloid papers. Molloy agrees. &quot;Newspapers were smaller and handmade and it was all done with a lot more nervous energy,&quot; he says. &quot;We really did believe we were a power for good. The pops now are not a vestige of what they were in my day. They simply report celebrity culture. Fleet Street became coarser and more competitive, and it ended with phone hacking.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in a sense the McKinney story was a prototype of today&#039;s celebrity culture, in which dreams dwarf talent and attention trumps application. Her misfortune was to live in an era before&lt;em&gt; X&amp;nbsp;Factor&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Big Brother&lt;/em&gt;. Had she been a young woman today, she might have lived out her starry ambitions in her 15&amp;nbsp;minutes of fame. As it was she put her creative energy into a romance with a man who didn&#039;t want to be tied down, at least not in the way that McKinney wanted. Thus she was immortalised by the tabloids. In the end, her story was as ridiculous and as profound as that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Errol Morris&#039;s film Tabloid is on general release from 11 November&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/documentary&quot;&gt;Documentary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pressandpublishing&quot;&gt;Newspapers &amp; magazines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/national-newspapers&quot;&gt;National newspapers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/newspapers&quot;&gt;Newspapers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/mormonism&quot;&gt;Mormonism&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/celebrity&quot;&gt;Celebrity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/andrewanthony&quot;&gt;Andrew Anthony&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Here, the star of The Help reveals why she wishes there were more roles for people just like her&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Claridge&#039;s, on one of the first truly autumnal afternoons of the year. In the famous foyer restaurant, impeccably groomed ladies and suited and booted businessmen greedily conjure up teatime with Nanny against a backdrop of crisp linen, fine china and tinkling piano music.  But Viola Davis is not, apparently, seduced by the sugary pleasures of afternoon tea, ordering a pot of decaf coffee with &quot;heavy-duty cream&quot; and a plate of chorizo (the latter mildly fazes our waiter, although Claridge&#039;s staff are never off-balance for long). Perhaps she feels that she needs something more substantial than a&amp;nbsp;fondant fancy to get across the message that she returns to, with exceptional candour, eloquence and resolve, throughout our conversation: the limited opportunities offered to black actresses by Hollywood and what she wants to do about it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After 23 years in the business, with an Oscar nomination, two Tony Awards and a host of other prizes to her name, 46-year-old Davis is getting to grips with taking the lead for the first time in a big studio production &ndash; she stars as Aibileen, the maid who starts a quiet revolution in segregated &quot;Jim Crow&quot; Mississippi in the adaptation of Kathryn Stockett&#039;s bestselling novel The Help. Davis&#039;s career has been steady and productive, her work both impressively varied and widely acclaimed. But that high-profile film lead has also, until now, been elusive, and certainly to audiences here she is far from a well-known face.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I&#039;ve done what was at my hand to do,&quot; Davis explains. &quot;That&#039;s what&#039;s different about my career as a&amp;nbsp;46-year-old, dark-skinned actress in Hollywood.&quot; She goes on to detail how &ndash; in the absence of the heavyweight roles she might have wished for &ndash; she has learned to amplify the parts that have come her way. &quot;I&#039;ve had to sink my teeth into a role that was probably a fried-chicken dinner and make it into a&amp;nbsp;filet mignon.&quot; She considers herself, with clear justification given her Juilliard training and her numerous stage, film and TV credits, &quot;to be just as trained and just as proficient as my white counterparts&quot;; but she also believes that the odds have not entirely been in her favour.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Hollywood is a business,&quot; she says in a&amp;nbsp;clear, low tone. &quot;And I&amp;nbsp;don&#039;t fault it for that. It&#039;s a business about money and advertising, and we don&#039;t translate in the foreign market. And a lot of people want to indict Hollywood for that, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s just an indictment on Hollywood; it may be more of an indictment on people who go to the theatre to put their money down &ndash; to see what? You see a film with a predominantly black cast and you don&#039;t see it as inclusive, but you see a film with a predominantly white cast and it is. Why?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And that&#039;s why she&#039;s keen to announce that: &quot;I want to be a pioneer; I want to take on the responsibility and the weight of something bigger than myself, which is more diverse storylines, especially for African-American actresses. But I can only do what I do. I certainly can&#039;t change Hollywood&#039;s complete perception of black actresses &ndash; I need help.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Together with her husband, actor Julius Tennon, whom she met on the set of Steven Bochco&#039;s &lt;em&gt;City of Angels&lt;/em&gt; 12 years ago and with whom she lives in Los Angeles, she has started up a production company, JuVee. Projects in the pipeline include an adaptation of Ann Weisgarber&#039;s novel &lt;em&gt;The Personal History of Rachel DuPree &lt;/em&gt;and a film telling the story of R&amp;B label Vee-Jay Records.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Had life turned out differently, &lt;em&gt;The Help &lt;/em&gt;might also have been a JuVee production. Davis had read the book &ndash; which tells the story of a group of black maids who decide to risk their livelihoods in order to chronicle their experiences at the hands of their white employers &ndash; and loved it. She had also, she laughs, immediately seen &quot;this greater vision of producing and starring and becoming the saviour of all black actresses and giving all my friends roles&quot;. But when the rights turned out to have been snapped up by director Tate Taylor &ndash; &quot;the man was not going to give it up&quot;, even when she told her agent to &quot;throw him $500&quot; &ndash; she found herself auditioning for the role of Aibileen, just as she was in rehearsal for the Broadway production of August Wilson&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Fences&lt;/em&gt;. &quot;Every black actress came out of the woodwork to be part of this movie and I&#039;m so thankful that he thought of me and gave me  a chance. I felt I&#039;d won the lottery, basically.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The film is a powerful piece of ensemble acting, with especially fine performances by Octavia Spencer as the capricious maid Minny and Bryce Dallas Howard as vile Southern belle Miss Hilly, but Davis is the real standout, creating in Aibileen a woman who has finally reached her moment of resistance. It helped, of course, that her mother, her grandmother and her aunts had also worked as maids: &quot;Beyond the uniform,  I knew who these women were.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is also a comparatively small but crucial role for veteran actress Cicely Tyson, the woman who effectively began Davis&#039;s career. She was only six or seven when she saw Tyson in &lt;em&gt;The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman&lt;/em&gt;: &quot;I saw her age from 18 to 105, and I didn&#039;t know it was the same actress, and she looked like me, she looked like my mom, bold looks and a dark skin. I was mesmerised, I just couldn&#039;t believe that someone could create that kind of magic&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; The wind stopped. The birds stopped chirping. It&#039;s one of those moments where I&amp;nbsp;said: That&#039;s what I want to do. And if I can do that, I can absolutely make a life.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forty-odd years later, and Davis has clearly made a life in acting, one that has taken her &ndash; materially, at least, because she remains close to her family &ndash; a long way from her impoverished upbringing in Central Falls, Rhode Island. She determinedly refers to herself as a character actress, and one more suited to the stage than the Hollywood blockbuster: &quot;The great body, the nude scenes, the flashy acting &ndash; I don&#039;t fit into that as much,&quot; she says, despite that fact that she is an extremely beautiful woman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks to &lt;em&gt;The Help&lt;/em&gt;, and thanks also to her extraordinary performance in John Patrick Shanley&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Doubt &lt;/em&gt;(2008), in which she stole one scene from clean under Meryl Streep&#039;s nose and earned an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress, her profile is certain to rise. But whatever the medium, she is, she says, most interested in telling stories: &quot;About human beings just living their lives, just being &ndash; in all its frailty and in all its ugliness and its putridness, and in all its humour and beauty also.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And despite her feelings about the position of African-American actors and actresses in the entertainment industry, she is insistent that she harbours  no rancour. &quot;I&#039;d love for this not to be a conversation in five years,&quot; she says, but she is also at pains  to point out how lucky she feels. &quot;I&#039;m very fortunate with what I&#039;ve been able to do &ndash; I&#039;ve been able to make  a living as an actor, a really good living &ndash; so it would be very unfair of me to see the opportunities that I&#039;ve been given and&hellip; show everybody my derri&egrave;re.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Help&lt;em&gt; is now on general release &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/alexclark&quot;&gt;Alex Clark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

It&#039;s been demonised to a terrifying degree. That&#039;s the big problem with the left &ndash; they&#039;ve allowed this to happen, so they&#039;ve become just as frustrating as the right. How have they allowed the word &quot;liberal&quot; to become a pejorative? Progressive or liberal attitudes have changed the world for the better over the years, but now it&#039;s a label that can tar people and their ideas. It&#039;s an awful situation; it  means artists get smeared and dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Art is about problem-solving and you need to be open-minded and have an imagination. So the movie business attracts these types, and now their films are being tarnished, even if it&#039;s the free-thinkers who always come up with the good shit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Have US politics gone the same way?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Political conversation has gone through the floor. Right now, it&#039;s a scream-fest and attitudes shouldn&#039;t be this strident. It&#039;s all fear-based. This is not what the people who drew up the Constitution would have wanted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Contagion&lt;/em&gt; is based on fear, though?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sure, people in it are scared [of catching a deadly virus] but it isn&#039;t a metaphor. The virus at its heart is, you know, just a virus. It&#039;s not a zombie satire on consumerism or anything like that, nor a metaphor for man&#039;s folly, like &lt;em&gt;The Towering Inferno&lt;/em&gt; kind of is. It&#039;s just a deadly virus, and viruses don&#039;t have an ideology; you have an antagonist that can&#039;t speak and with whom you can&#039;t reason.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your film has eerie scenes of riots and looting which will chime with anyone who experienced the London riots.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yeah, I saw all that on the news and it&#039;s purely coincidence it&#039;s in &lt;em&gt;Contagion&lt;/em&gt;, which we obviously shot before the events happened. But I did want to convey the feeling that I get now all over the world that the fabric of society really is stretched thin. Behaviour has gotten totally irrational and it can spark off at any moment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Did you like those 1970s disaster films, such as &lt;em&gt;The Towering Inferno&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Poseidon Adventure&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh my god, I loved them. They&#039;re so grown-up compared with blockbusters now. Those films were for adults and the stars were in their 30s and 40s. No one at the studios was going: &quot;How are we gonna target the 16-year-old market?&quot; That culture wasn&#039;t endemic yet and so to go back and harp on about the 1970s movies is justified. They were carefree, not inhibited by fearing audiences would be turned off or bored, pretty free from product placement and all the tiresome crap we have to deal with now in every single meeting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you bored with making movies?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I still feel like I did when I was 17 &ndash; that&#039;s the age when you see the &quot;best thing you&#039;ve ever seen&quot;. So that&#039;s how I still make my movies, channelling the spirit of that teenager who was wide-eyed and blown away by what he was seeing for the first time, films such as &lt;em&gt;A Hard Day&#039;s Night&lt;/em&gt;. I can still feel the goosebumps I had the day I saw that film. It&#039;s so hard to get anything like that sanctioned now, that&#039;s what pisses me off. I&#039;m not bored, but I am frustrated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is it true you&#039;re giving up making films?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I need a break to recalibrate. It&#039;s actually nothing to do with the business, but I&#039;m hitting a wall of what I feel I&#039;m currently capable of. It&#039;s the tyranny of the narrative that I&#039;m finding an obstacle &ndash; trying to use cinema to the best of its ability, to tell stories in a way that no other art form can do. I just don&#039;t know what that is anymore, so I need a break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I hear you&#039;re going to paint &ndash; I&#039;ve never seen your works&hellip;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nobody has. But I love doing them. I hope immersing myself in another art form will unwind and unblock something for me. It&#039;s not just painting, I&#039;ll do other visual media exploration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is it difficult to pull yourself out of the film limelight?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not really &ndash; all I care about is making stuff and I&#039;m still going to be doing that. God, all I did was mention, drunkenly, to Matt Damon in a bar one night that I needed to reboot and stop making so many movies. Since he blurted that out, I&#039;m cast as a traitor to cinema. Business-wise, there are projects I&#039;ve started and I&#039;m going to finish those up, but yes, I&#039;ve been winding down, clearing the books.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s been great turning down scripts. People say, &quot;can I send you scripts to read?&quot; and I say, &quot;no, sorry, I&#039;m not doing anything more now&quot;. I guess when I start to miss making films, maybe that&#039;s when I&#039;ll feel I&#039;m ready to step back in. Will they still let me back in? Huh. I&#039;ve not really thought about that, but if they don&#039;t, it&#039;ll be like starting again and I&#039;ll make films that are low-budget and under the radar and it&#039;ll be cool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You do your own cinematography and editing, but use different names. Why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cinematographers hate me. I&#039;ll never win an award from them, you know. I guess they feel I&#039;m taking a job away from them, but when a cinematographer becomes a director &ndash; and they always try it at least once &ndash; you don&#039;t hear of any directors protesting. My cameraman name is Peter Andrews, which are my dad&#039;s first and middle names, and I call my editor Mary Ann Bernard, which is my mum&#039;s maiden name. So it&#039;s kind of a shout out to them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where did you grow up?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We moved around a lot, but mostly in the south, in Louisiana. My dad was a professor and was always getting promotions to new posts. He taught teachers and educators.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Did he like your choice of career in cinema?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I got the bug from him, so he was thrilled for me. He died before I made the big commercial leap into &lt;em&gt;Out of Sight&lt;/em&gt;, but he saw me win the Palme d&#039;Or for &lt;em&gt;Sex, Lies, and Videotape&lt;/em&gt; at Cannes and that was a big deal for him. When he saw my picture on the front page of the &lt;em&gt;New York Times&lt;/em&gt; accepting the Palme d&#039;Or from Jane Fonda, I know his head was almost blown off with pride. I feel bad for people who aren&#039;t thrilled for others&#039; success. I just don&#039;t understand it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you Jewish?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am when it helps. No, actually, I&#039;m Swedish on my father&#039;s side and Italian on my mother&#039;s. I have a daughter who is 20 and she&#039;s much better adjusted than I was at her age.

It is a truly &lt;em&gt;magic&lt;/em&gt; door, like something invented by Roald Dahl, just for children who drink &ndash; and lets us slip into a cool, smart hideaway in Soho; and I&#039;m apologising to Bruce Robinson for not being one of this mag&#039;s usual stock of clever cheekboned women over-infused with vivre, panache, esprit and other words unacquaintanced in English.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But, then again, so is every female inside Mark Hix&#039;s establishment &ndash; not necessarily in words, but certainly with eyes and body language. It is astonishing how some people &ndash; this man is now 65 &ndash; still, somehow, just &lt;em&gt;command&lt;/em&gt; flirty looks from waitresses 40 years the junior of him: a kind of courtly love prevails, even though he&#039;s in jeans and a dodgy cravat thing. He is, admittedly, charming, and effortlessly courteous, and still good-looking; but no one actually knows who he is, or if or why he&#039;s famous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do know who Bruce Robinson is, and am about to find out a lot more. Most of it in affably colourful language. It&#039;s safest for this magazine&#039;s sanity if&amp;nbsp;I substitute the words &quot;chuffing&quot; and &quot;todd&quot; for the concomitant seven- and four-letter words Bruce quietly drops everywhere, through habit rather than guile or anger; fricative and plosive, they&#039;re actually right in almost all contexts. Anyway, Robinson is probably best known as writer/director of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2007/may/14/idemandwithnailandiii&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Withnail and I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, but also has a fat backpack of screenwriting and directing successes (&lt;em&gt;The Killing Fields&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;How to Get Ahead in Advertising&lt;/em&gt;) and an equally worthy history of falling out with Hollywood morons and &quot;todds&quot; and thus being perhaps less famous than he might be. He&#039;s about to accidentally remedy that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Rum Diary&lt;/em&gt;, his adaptation/screenplay/direction of the story by Hunter S Thompson is a delight; a&amp;nbsp;marvel. Johnny Depp, who begged Robinson out of semi-retirement to write and direct, acts superbly and may now be forgiven for the dire continuance of the Pirates franchise. It&#039;s set in Puerto Rico, in 1960, and deals, in glorious primary colours, with journalism, racism, cold war politics, misogyny, Nixon, poverty and the flaws in the American Dream.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bruce wants to move seats because he can&#039;t hear me; it&#039;s a lovely place but it is&hellip; clattery. And he has tinnitus. He charms teams of people into moving all our stuff downstairs to the quiet bar, and we talk about politics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I&#039;ve always been that contemptible thing, a luxury communist. Sure, you can drive around in a chuffing Ferrari in my politics, provided somebody else isn&#039;t hungry. But all of this nonsense, Tory, Labour, Liberal, leaves me cold, what&#039;s the difference. It&#039;s a pejorative phrase, champagne socialist, and probably rightly &ndash; I can&#039;t drink champagne and I certainly hate chuffing socialism &ndash; but I also hate the idea of me being OK and some other chuffer being unable to feed their family. Now&hellip; shall we risk the oysters? Are you an actress?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This last is asked not of me but of a svelte Swede waiting stoically for our order. Please, Bruce, I murmur afterwards, tell me you don&#039;t &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; say&amp;nbsp;that to pretty waitresses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;No, no, never, she sounded like a voice I&#039;d heard on the BBC. Didn&#039;t know she was Swedish, she had perfect English. It&#039;s a bugger, being an actress, and we all have to help them. My daughter is one, and she&#039;s really talented, very and actually extraordinarily beautiful, but it&#039;s so hard, this industry. She&#039;s doing German clothes catalogues.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We talk a little about beauty: this man spent a good few years with Lesley-Anne Down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Eleven years we were together. Yes, she was rather a good-looking girl. Were you in love with her, too?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Behind menu and blushes, I wonder if he has ever re-watched &lt;em&gt;Withnail&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I saw it, curiously, after about 15 years, with my son, who&#039;s 17. He&#039;d been saying to me that all the boys at school were watching it. Bizarrely it hasn&#039;t aged. It&#039;s about trying to cope with generational change, which is universal, but it&#039;s also a film about anger. And, yes, I am so enraged by what&#039;s going on, with, say, bankers. That reminds me&hellip; there was a line of mine about humans being the only living things that claim belief in God, then act as if there was no God&hellip; rewatching Johnny doing that made me realise that&#039;s what I still feel about this, about bankers, about all of the todds on earth.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ridiculously big question Bruce but when does that happen, when does the change or preference arrive?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I think you&#039;re a good person or a&amp;nbsp;todd by the age of eight.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parents, is it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Well, I had the most appalling childhood. I was just chuffing hated as a child. Now, who&#039;s going to open the oysters? Oh, they&#039;re open already. Oh, man. They are delicious, aren&#039;t they? Doesn&#039;t this taste glorious, even more so when you remember eating badly? Those Camden years of mine, only option was saveloy, I almost starved.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I tell him about oysters I once had in Tasmania, at the Bay of Fires. Our guide, a certificated oyster diver, returned from the brine with a fat bag of them, shucked them on the shore and then pulled from the sea a roped and chilled bottle of Pipers Brook chardonnay. It was&hellip;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;No, no, NO!&quot; he shouts, theatrically covering his ears. &quot;Don&#039;t talk about heaven to me, because I don&#039;t believe in God.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He interrupts himself a minute later, as he talks about British restaurants. &quot;You can remember when food was shit, can&#039;t you? It&#039;s happening in the cities, but it&#039;s not universal, and,&lt;em&gt; oh&lt;/em&gt;, write down that line actually. I need that. &#039;Don&#039;t talk about heaven to me because I don&#039;t believe in God.&#039; I love that line. I can&#039;t even think because I&#039;ve just had a chuffing bottle of red.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you OK? I ask. He is clutching parts of his chest, has been giggling  and the cravat thing has slid off. &quot;Mmm? &ndash; absolutely. But I think I might soon be forced on to the pavement for a smoke. First, I&#039;m  just going to go and take my liver  for a&amp;nbsp;wash. See you outside?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have been for a fun cigarette and a cigar. Back downstairs, the mains await. &quot;You&#039;ve got a fish finger. You&#039;ve got a chuffing fish finger!&quot; guffaws Bruce, before happily sliding into his silver mullet and &quot;Friday Chips&quot;; actually, my Webster&#039;s Special is beyond delight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Everything we eat at home we grow, almost. We&#039;ve got lambs up on the hills eating our wild flowers, and then we eat them. My wife does the cooking mainly; I&#039;ll do curries and stuff but it takes me all day, she&#039;s far better. We&#039;re in Herefordshire, best food in England. So I love food, but I also find myself obsessed with the chuffing world around me. Chuffing Iranians hanging homosexuals. And too many bits of America, though I love other bits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just before we part I mention that the film looked exuberant&hellip; fun&hellip; in the making. &quot;Absolutely. American crew, and they were all saying the lines, laughing. We had that with &lt;em&gt;Withnail&lt;/em&gt;, too. Gaffers and electricians, saying the lines. And no corporates, no box-ticking. If I&#039;d tried the BBC today with &lt;em&gt;Withnail&lt;/em&gt;, it wouldn&#039;t tick one box. They&#039;d want every scene worked over with the question &ndash; why is that funny?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the stairs up I wonder whether he worried, much, about death. &quot;I worry about death all chuffing day. Don&#039;t you? I&#039;m with Keats. He wrote &#039;When I have fears that I may cease to be/Before my pen has glean&#039;d my teeming brain&hellip;&#039; &ndash; God, you need to read or re-read it&hellip; we all have so much to say, still.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Rum Diary is scheduled for release on 11 November&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/food-and-drink&quot;&gt;Food &amp; drink&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/johnnydepp&quot;&gt;Johnny Depp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/euanferguson&quot;&gt;Euan Ferguson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Next up, a Thatcher biopic starring Meryl Streep, a Steve McQueen film about sex and a play about God&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Abi Morgan shows up late, full of apologies, to a cafe on the corner of Exmouth Market in London&#039;s Clerkenwell. I tell her it would have been understandable if she had failed to turn up at all. For she is Mrs British Screenwriter and it is daunting even to try and imagine her workload. This has been, as she says, an &quot;extraordinary&quot; year in which &quot;it is all happening at once&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She has a hasty look as she bustles in, wrapped in a black shawl &ndash; part Mediterranean peasant, part human dynamo. The minute she sits down, we both start talking at once, as you do with people who, for some reason you cannot as yet explain, you instantly like. Right away, we are analysing her Diet Coke habit and she is promising, unconvincingly, that the one she is ordering will be her last and I can see that, at this rate, we are going to blow right off course.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So: quantity. Could we concentrate on this first? Does she even know how many scripts &ndash; for film and television and stage &ndash; she has written? After some genuine attempts at counting, she has to admit she doesn&#039;t. All right then: there is &lt;em&gt;The Hour&lt;/em&gt;, the 1950s newsroom BBC drama watched by 2.1 million viewers (she is now working on a second series); &lt;em&gt;Shame&lt;/em&gt;, a film directed by Steve McQueen, to be released in January; and, in the same month, the eagerly awaited biopic &lt;em&gt;The Iron Lady&lt;/em&gt;, starring Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher. And then there is her adaptation of Sebastian Faulks&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Birdsong&lt;/em&gt;, at last going ahead. And that is not to ignore her new play, &lt;em&gt;27&lt;/em&gt;, about to open at the Royal Lyceum theatre in Edinburgh. And we can&#039;t even begin to mention the scripts that never made it &ndash; some her personal favourites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I am not sure where to start, how must Abi feel? How does she keep so many plays in the air? As she talks, her flesh-coloured Perspex ring (from Next, she says) catches the light as she pummels, boxes and burrows with expressive hands. She has big, brown, intelligent eyes, which she likes to roll (often self-mockingly). And sometimes&amp;nbsp;she watches me warily &ndash; she is not about to be tricked into blowing her own trumpet. She insists she is governed by &quot;escape&quot;. If you have enough scripts on the go, there is always one to disappear into: &quot;I am always running away from something.&quot; But she writes fast and adds &ndash; understatement of the year &ndash; &quot;I don&#039;t have writer&#039;s block as such.&quot; She will do &quot;eight or nine drafts&quot; per script.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I could spy on her at home, what would I see? She describes her north London house, currently a &quot;building site&quot;, and her study in the middle of it. She has always had the ability to work in a hubbub. For her first 10 years as a writer, she had other jobs as telemarketer, researcher, caretaker, when she covertly scribbled. Now, her days are a combination of &quot;frenzied work&quot; and &quot;procrastination&quot;. She starts at nine, finishes at seven. But this isn&#039;t solid working? &quot;In that time, I am doing a hell of a lot of internet shopping, navel-gazing, picking away at my partner, sharing several cups of tea with whoever turns up&hellip;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the day has to be more organised than it once was &ndash; children make one &quot;conservative&quot; and she and her partner, Jacob Krichefski, an actor, have two (Jesse, aged nine, and seven-year-old Mabel). She writes in chaos: a nest of papers, bits of chocolate, her daughter&#039;s hair slides, a huge whiteboard &quot;besieged by my kids&quot; and with nothing sensible on it. The promise to tidy her study is broken every day. And she never makes lists. David Hare &ndash; she quotes him brightly &ndash; apparently once declared: &quot;If you can&#039;t remember it, it wasn&#039;t important enough.&quot; I protest at this. And her face clouds over, too, as she confesses she spends her whole time forgetting things.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am a huge fan of &lt;em&gt;The Hour&lt;/em&gt; and before we move on need to be reassured that Dominic West, who plays Hector, the news presenter, has survived into the second series (if only because it looked, at the end of the first, as if he might vanish into the beautiful, boring arms of his posh wife and forfeit his life in current affairs for ever). She delights me by saying: &quot;Everyone in the cast is coming back&quot; and: &quot;I am really excited about where I can take Hector&hellip; I think there is a darker place for him to go but that is all I am saying because&hellip; [she pauses as if recognising the absurdity] I haven&#039;t written it yet and [a different, more thoughtful pause] we start shooting in two months.&quot; We talk about the brilliant casting of &lt;em&gt;The Hour&lt;/em&gt; &ndash; with Ben Whishaw as Freddie (she identifies with Freddie because he is &quot;on a rollercoaster waiting to hit a wall&quot;) and Romola Garai as Bel. And she tells me that Jill Trevellick, who cast &lt;em&gt;Downton Abbey&lt;/em&gt;, was responsible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyone who has seen the trailer for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/video/2011/jul/07/iron-lady-margaret-thatcher-trailer&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Iron Lady&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  will agree that casting does not come more classy than Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher, looking killingly plausible in her turquoise twinset. She is being told, by image advisers, to sacrifice the hat and pearls. But, deliciously, she pronounces the pearls &quot;non-negotiable&quot;. The only thing wrong with Streep&#039;s performance is that, when she smiles, she is a smidgen too pretty. Nothing she can do about that, but she has worked on everything else. Abi says it was &quot;an exceptional privilege&quot; to watch her in the early stages: &quot;The extraordinary thing is how quickly that voice was there.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is no reflex rave. Abi knows about acting. Her father, Gareth Morgan, was a director; her mother, Pat England, is an actress. When reading English and drama at Exeter, she wondered about&amp;nbsp;an acting career herself (&quot;like someone whose dad&amp;nbsp;is an electrician, having a go at changing plugs&quot;). But after a university performance, she asked: &quot;Mum, what do you think?&quot; The reply was: &quot;No, darling.&quot; Wasn&#039;t that hurtful? &quot;Not at all. I felt incredibly relieved &ndash; I thought it was quite funny.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Her tutor&#039;s verdict was discouraging too. He said she was &quot;&#039;too short&#039;.&amp;nbsp;&#039;But what about Judi Dench?&#039; &#039;Ah, but she has that voice.&#039;&quot; And what Streep has, we agree on, is &quot;exceptional intuition&quot;. She &quot;observes and listens and finds the character through the work&quot;. And what about Thatcher &ndash; did Abi meet her? She hesitates &ndash; sworn to silence at this stage. My guess, for what it is worth, is that she did.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shame&lt;/em&gt; could hardly be less like &lt;em&gt;The Iron Lady&lt;/em&gt;. I am amazed by a preview I see after meeting Abi. It is a stunning film. Michael Fassbender stars as a sex addict whose sober demeanour is completely at odds with his chaotic sex life. In no way is it about the joy of sex; it is about nightmarish compulsion, a New York underworld. Yet the two years Abi spent working with Steve McQueen were &quot;joyous&quot;. McQueen is &quot;brilliant&hellip; one of my favourite people&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sex addiction is barely recognised in the UK, one reason why the film was shot in New York (this sort of territory is not new for Abi &ndash; 2004&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Sex Traffic&lt;/em&gt;, about prostitution, won a Bafta for best drama serial). But what she and McQueen were interested in was how the &quot;currency of romance&quot; has been devalued by the internet, where &quot;sex has become a phenomenal industry&quot;. They met sex addicts and the professionals working with them. It made her conscious of a peculiarly 21st-century agony in which &quot;the quest for love and sexual intimacy swims against the tide of a therapised world that deconstructs love&amp;nbsp;and a cynical internet world that commodifies sex&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phew &ndash; and we haven&#039;t even got to the play that is our ostensible reason for meeting. This isn&#039;t fair, because &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lyceum.org.uk/webpages/show_info.php?id=1102&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;27&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; sounds extraordinary too. It is set in a convent in the west of Scotland and is an exploration of faith versus science. &quot;I used to believe in God as a child. God, for me, was linked with hope.&quot; The inspiration was Abi&#039;s meeting with &quot;two elderly nuns on a train to Edinburgh, returning to their convent&quot;. She realised they were a &quot;dying breed &ndash; there were only five of them&amp;nbsp;left&quot;. She thought their dedication &quot;amazing&quot; and wondered how they felt &quot;about their own belief system with no one following after them&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She was also inspired by a &quot;wonderful&quot; book: David Snowdon&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Aging with Grace&lt;/em&gt; about the effects of ageing on the brain in relation to Alzheimer&#039;s, based on a &quot;study in midwest America of several hundred nuns who donated their brains after death&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After this, we talk a bit about age (Abi is 43 although her &quot;inner age&quot; is fixed in her late 20s) and about families &ndash; her childhood and her parents&#039; divorce (she talks about the &quot;bravery&quot; it takes for people to admit their marriage is over). We also talk about belonging. She feels she grew up with no fixed abode, had a theatrical, peripatetic childhood. &quot;The thing I love about London is that it is filled with migrants, including myself.&quot; And we bond over our mutual love, as children, for a Marine Ices kiosk that sold wonderful Italian ice cream on the edge of Hampstead Heath. We talk coconut&amp;nbsp;versus pistachio. We talk children and technology. She exclaims that for her kids &quot;the page is interesting but antiquated&quot;. She describes herself as a &quot;technophobe married to a technowhizz&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We talk about husbands. And she tells me how &quot;fantastic&quot; hers is. He keeps the family going. &quot;The answer to &#039;I don&#039;t know how she does it&#039;,&quot; she says, &quot;is usually &#039;someone else does it&#039;&quot; (and that someone might be a husband). She hopes she doesn&#039;t sound smug. She notes that this division of labour (the woman as main breadwinner) is becoming more common. By the way, did I know women&#039;s salaries are starting to overtake men&#039;s? It could be a &quot;new world order&quot;. She wonders if there might be a play in it.

It centres on Lucy (Emily Browning), a rather blank Australian student who&#039;s paying her way through college as a clerk in an office, a waitress in a cafe and a sex-worker. The most lucrative activity involves being drugged into a coma by a creepy 40-something matron in order to sleep with rich elderly men who are told they can do almost anything (including touching her neck with a burning cigarette) except penetrate her body.

The name of Jane Campion does not appear in the credits, but Julia Leigh speaks of her key role as &quot;mentor&quot; at every stage of the production, and Campion calls the film &quot;a fascinating portrait of how some of us live or sometimes have lived&hellip;heartbreaking, tender, terrifying.

The great Russian actor Innokenti Smoktunovsky is a forceful, sane, sensitive Hamlet trapped in a prison of political intrigue, and the film, set in a Tudor Denmark, is vigorous, intelligent and visually stunning. Lear is played by the Estonian actor J&uuml;ri J&auml;rvet (dubbed into Russian) and is truly old, mad and heartbreaking, and the picture has a consistent tone and numerous incidental felicities. The texts are cut and rearranged, but with great care, and both movies, initially patronised in English-speaking countries as academic, are wearing extremely well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/shakespeare&quot;&gt;William Shakespeare&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/boris-pasternak&quot;&gt;Boris Pasternak&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/dvdreviews&quot;&gt;DVD and video reviews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/world-cinema&quot;&gt;World cinema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/philipfrench&quot;&gt;Philip French&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

It is a more difficult form to master, as well as being generally less lucrative; journalists who&#039;ve made a name writing for newspapers seek publishers&#039; contracts to write novels rather than try their hands at short stories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paradoxically, perhaps, short stories are better suited to the cinema than novels are, whether they conclude with O Henry-style twists in the tail or Chekhovian epiphanies to be absorbed. John Huston, who took on both &lt;em&gt;The Bible&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Moby-Dick&lt;/em&gt; in his prime, had his two greatest late successes with film versions of classic stories, James Joyce&#039;s &lt;em&gt;The Dead&lt;/em&gt; and Rudyard Kipling&#039;s &lt;em&gt;The Man Who Would be King&lt;/em&gt;, and several of the most distinguished recent films have been based on short fiction, &lt;em&gt;Brokeback Mountain&lt;/em&gt; being a major instance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is unusual, however, for a movie to be promoted on the strength of a short story (Hemingway&#039;s &lt;em&gt;The Killers&lt;/em&gt; is a rare exception) or a story to be advertised as &quot;soon to be a major motion picture&quot;. It usually takes an anthology to achieve the latter, such as the portmanteau versions of Somerset Maugham so popular in the 1950s, the three Maupassant tales that make up Max Oph&uuml;ls&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Le Plaisir&lt;/em&gt; or, to bring me to my point this week, the nine stories and a narrative poem by Raymond Carver that Robert Altman transposed from the Pacific northwest to Los Angeles and skilfully dovetailed into &lt;em&gt;Short Cuts&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Released in 1993, &lt;em&gt;Short Cuts&lt;/em&gt; is, I think, Altman&#039;s greatest achievement. The lives of 20-odd characters of different professions and social backgrounds interact over a couple of days in a funny, sad, truthful film that captures the mysterious art of Carver&#039;s poetic realism. It&#039;s a big picture, much larger than the sum of its mosaic parts, unlike this week&#039;s most watchable film, the miniature, gem-like &lt;em&gt;Everything Must Go&lt;/em&gt;, the feature debut of writer-director Dan Rush, which is based on a five-page story, &quot;Why Don&#039;t You Dance?&quot;, which appeared in Carver&#039;s 1981 collection &lt;em&gt;What We Talk About When We Talk About Love&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carver&#039;s pared down, deceptively simple text has an unnamed middle-aged man sitting in his front garden at night, surrounded by his possessions arranged for a yard sale, all the electrical appliances hooked up to power lines. A young couple, his only customers, arrive, drink whisky with him and buy a few things. The young man gets slightly drunk, his partner dances with both men to an old record player, then in a coda set a few weeks later the girl tells some friends about the meeting, laughing about it yet somehow trying to puzzle out its meaning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As with the girl, the story sticks in the reader&#039;s mind. We wonder who these people are, how they got there, where they&#039;re going, as if we ourselves had experienced the encounter. This is the way Dan Rush seems to have worked on &quot;Why Don&#039;t We Dance?&quot;, and in exploring it he has come up with his interpretation, a narrative about Nick Halsey, an alcoholic salesman in Scottsdale, Arizona, who is fired when he goes back on the booze after a couple of years on the wagon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After clearing his desk he sticks his Swiss army knife in a tyre of the firm&#039;s personnel director&#039;s car and returns home to find his wife has left, changing the locks and leaving his possessions in the front yard. He settles down on the sofa, surrounded by the bric-a-brac of his life, gets soaked when the sprinkler comes on, has a row with the cops, sees his car repossessed and his credit cards cancelled, and appears to be settling down to a new life of noisy desperation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We initially believe that this is a black comedy for our present depressed time, the bitter flipside of &lt;em&gt;Up in the Air&lt;/em&gt;, and this seems to be confirmed by the casting of star comedian Will Ferrell as Nick. The film is certainly not without humour. But Ferrell played it fairly straight in Woody Allen&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Melinda and Melinda&lt;/em&gt; and Marc Forster&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Stranger Than Fiction&lt;/em&gt; and here his baffled, bitter alcoholic is as impressive and as tinged with tragedy as that of another fine comedian, Jack Lemmon in &lt;em&gt;Days of Wine and Roses&lt;/em&gt;. And naturally we recall Lemmon&#039;s last major screen role in Altman&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Short Cuts&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The director has created several new characters who help him open up Nick&#039;s world. The first is his ambiguous friend and Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, a local police lieutenant (Michael Pe&ntilde;a), who gives him five days&#039; grace to live on the lawn and conduct a sale of his worldly goods. The second is a young black school kid (the excellent Christopher Jordan Wallace) who becomes Nick&#039;s assistant and blossoms as his pupil (Nick is not just a salesman, he teaches the craft of salesmanship). The third is a new neighbour (Rebecca Hall), whose troubled life with her absent husband can be read by Nick as if it were a casebook. As Nick disposes of his possessions he gains a new, undemonstrative purchase on his life without undergoing any radical transformation other than the realisation that it&#039;s difficult, probably impossible, for two alcoholics to reform together. We recall that Carver&#039;s marriage broke up and he stopped drinking before embarking on a successful new life with fellow writer Tess Gallagher. I found this a delicately observed, satisfying movie and greatly enjoyed it. Others, of course, may prefer their own interpretation of Carver&#039;s tale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/willferrell&quot;&gt;Will Ferrell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/raymondcarver&quot;&gt;Raymond Carver&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/drama&quot;&gt;Drama&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/philipfrench&quot;&gt;Philip French&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Isn&#039;t it time we let her go?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aged 17, with glandular fever turning my skin into a&amp;nbsp;three-bar fire, I&amp;nbsp;accidentally overdosed a&amp;nbsp;little on painkillers. Instead of taking two every four hours, I started taking four every two hours. Amazing pills, illegal now, they were fluorescent pink, like matte-effect diamonds, and in the middle of&amp;nbsp;the night they made me hallucinate vividly. As I lay there, throat like a barrel, Marilyn Monroe stepped out of the Andy Warhol print on my bedroom wall and began to wiggle towards me, one tiny foot in front of the other, click click click. I was delighted &ndash; I&amp;nbsp;had so much to ask her. When she crawled into bed, I&amp;nbsp;think I&amp;nbsp;giggled. We spooned, but not for long, because quite quickly, snuggled next to me, she began to die. I remember the promise of Monroe, who (when I was a teenager, swollen thick with kissing disease) I&amp;nbsp;was fascinated by: she seemed the prototype for womanliness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Little has changed. This week, the trailer was released for &lt;em&gt;My Week With Marilyn&lt;/em&gt;, the latest Monroe biopic, this one starring Michelle Williams with ever-parted lips and blue-blonde hair. But now I feel that with every retelling, every time the wig is dusted off, every time the bra is sharpened, her life becomes fainter, like we&#039;re photocopying a&amp;nbsp;photocopy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Williams is one of few female Hollywood stars who, until now, hasn&#039;t discussed her affinity with Monroe &ndash; Madonna, Anna Nicole Smith, Lindsay Lohan (&quot;People in their mind have created who I am and act as if there is no real person inside of me,&quot; Lohan smugged once, &quot;just like Marilyn&quot;) &ndash; all boast noisily of their similarities to the actress, pulling wildly on her fine chains of sex and sadness. The myth of Marilyn washes over our culture like a&amp;nbsp;Hipstamatic app &ndash; this bleached, beached tragedy; a woman too feminine to live; a wiggle-hipped symbol of objectification &ndash; but it&#039;s one that has been raked over so many times it ceases to have any impact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is our continued obsession with Monroe (yet another biopic comes out next year featuring Naomi Watts) simply a glossy form of suicide porn, a&amp;nbsp;dark attraction to the idea of a&amp;nbsp;woman who gave in to her emotions? Partly, too, it must be nostalgia &ndash; not just for those acceptable curves and lipstick, but for her assumed naivety. There&#039;ll never be another celebrity ingenue. Today everybody knows everything. The &lt;em&gt;TOWIE&lt;/em&gt; stars, &lt;em&gt;Big Brother&lt;/em&gt; housemates, &lt;em&gt;X&amp;nbsp;Factor &lt;/em&gt;contestants &ndash; all are literate in fame, cynical to the point of boredom. Where Marilyn&#039;s skill was to appear turned on all the time, today&#039;s starlets have learned to look like they&#039;re ready to please.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She died just before modern feminism took hold &ndash; is part of Hollywood&#039;s Marilyn obsession a&amp;nbsp;hungriness for that pre-liberated age? Or an elevation of her to martyr status? A symbol that when you let the world turn you into a sex object, you cease to exist. It&#039;s a &quot;She died so we could live.&quot; I like to think this is what my painkillers were trying to tell me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These discussions have been stretched gummily to snapping point. Is it not time to let Marilyn rest now? Surely there&#039;s another culturally weighty coffin to rifle through, another story to be told. It feels time. And while American &lt;em&gt;Vogue&lt;/em&gt;&#039;s cover star is Michelle Williams in full Marilyn bodysuit, in the tabloids there&#039;s a hint that the rest of us are moving on. This week Megan Fox (stamped &quot;Sexiest woman in the world&quot; by &lt;em&gt;FHM&lt;/em&gt;) was photographed in California, walking back from lunch in flip-flops and a&amp;nbsp;baseball cap. On her right forearm a shadow is visible &ndash; her Marilyn Monroe tattoo, which she began laser treatment to remove earlier this year, is almost gone. &quot;I got the tattoo as a&amp;nbsp;warning,&quot; she once explained, &quot;to not let myself be treated so badly by the film industry that it breaks me down.&quot; The tattoo looked like a fan sketch; now all that&#039;s there are a&amp;nbsp;few pale lines, a&amp;nbsp;gentle swoosh where a blonde curl once was, the faded suggestion of two cattish eyes. In a month they&#039;ll be gone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/marilynmonroe&quot;&gt;Marilyn Monroe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/evawiseman&quot;&gt;Eva Wiseman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

If you only knew how strange it is to be there &hellip; I was at Aumont&#039;s and saw Lumi&egrave;re&#039;s cin&eacute;matographe &ndash; moving photography. The extraordinary impression it creates is so unique and complex that I doubt my ability to describe it with all its nuances.&quot; A few years later Rudyard Kipling wrote&lt;em&gt; Mrs Bathurst&lt;/em&gt;, the first significant work of fiction inspired by the movies, a mysteriously haunting tale of a sailor driven to his death by a brief newsreel he obsessively views in Cape Town. The new medium had the power to disturb, to fascinate, to generate vast sums of money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Francine Stock, a former BBC TV current affairs reporter and now presenter of Radio 4&#039;s &lt;em&gt;The Film Programme&lt;/em&gt;, has taken on the hugely ambitious project of a historical survey of the movies from their first flickerings in the 1890s to this very year. But she calls it, borrowing the title from Martin Scorsese&#039;s film centenary documentary and book, &quot;a personal journey&quot;. She further narrows the focus by saying that the book&#039;s central idea arose from discussions with her producer on &lt;em&gt;The Film Programme&lt;/em&gt;, Stephen Hughes (named as co-author on the title page but not on the cover), after &quot;we had both searched without much luck for writing on the way cinema intersects with what you might distinguish separately as life: to us it seemed an endlessly fascinating and important aspect of cinema&#039;s history&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the event, it is not a deeply personal book. The passing remarks on Stock&#039;s own life rarely get more revealing than watching &lt;em&gt;Chinatown&lt;/em&gt; at the age of 16 in Guildford on the same day as the IRA pub bombings there in October 1974, or annual family outings to &lt;em&gt;The Lord of the Rings&lt;/em&gt; trilogy, which her children now consider &quot;their bildungsroman&quot;. And there is little that is idiosyncratic about her choice of films. In &lt;em&gt;Flickers&lt;/em&gt;, his &quot;Illustrated Celebration of 100 Years of Cinema&quot;, Gilbert Adair wrote brief, scintillating essays on one film each year from 1895 (&lt;em&gt;Workers Leaving the Lumi&egrave;re Factory&lt;/em&gt;) to 1994 (Tim Burton&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Ed Wood&lt;/em&gt;). Stock takes three films each decade from the 1910s to the 2000s, a total of 30 pictures, the number shown nowadays in an average month to the London critics. Each chapter begins with a few words on the character of the decade before discursive discussions of her three chosen films, which are never less than intelligent, though rarely more than perfunctory until the last couple of decades when she deals with the cinema, its psychopathology, and changing perceptions of the world. She can start with &lt;em&gt;Gold Diggers of 1933&lt;/em&gt;, slip into Gracie Fields and &lt;em&gt;Batman&lt;/em&gt; and end up with Meryl Streep &quot;in the record-breakingly successful &lt;em&gt;Mamma Mia!&lt;/em&gt;&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stock and Stephen Hughes are, I believe, mistaken in believing that the influence of films on everyday life has gone unexplored. This is borne out in their own bibliography, as well as the books they don&#039;t include, such as Robert Sklar&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Movie-Made America&lt;/em&gt; and the endless personal accounts of moviegoing written over the past 30 years. These memoirs are a fairly recent development. Back in the 1970s the formidable American literary critic Diana Trilling told me how early in her career a patriotic Hollywood B-movie called &lt;em&gt;Joe Smith, American&lt;/em&gt;, released shortly after Pearl Harbor, had reduced her to tears. She went straight to William Phillips, co-editor of the prestigious quarterly &lt;em&gt;Partisan Review&lt;/em&gt;, and suggested writing about this experience. &quot;Diana,&quot; he told her sternly, &quot;that&#039;s the kind of thing you discuss with your mother. You don&#039;t write about it in &lt;em&gt;Partisan Review&lt;/em&gt;.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A major change in public taste was to occur in the 1960s, spearheaded by, among others, Susan Sontag, and brought about by pop art, the merging of highbrow and lowbrow cultures, auteurism and postmodernism. One&#039;s response to films like &lt;em&gt;Joe Smith, American&lt;/em&gt; became precisely what one wrote about in &lt;em&gt;Partisan Review&lt;/em&gt;. This explains moviegoing memoirs ranging from the Labour MP Gerald Kaufman&#039;s &lt;em&gt;My Life in the Silver Screen&lt;/em&gt; and Gore Vidal&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Screening History&lt;/em&gt; to works by current British film critics like John Walsh, Antonia Quirke and Mark Kermode.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It also explains how a canon of classic pictures, that had been established internationally in the 30s and 40s by critics and film historians including Paul Rotha and Roger Manvell in Britain and Maurice Bard&egrave;che and Robert Brasillach in France, was suddenly set aside, creating the kind of void that Stock seeks to fill. &lt;em&gt;In Glorious Technicolor&lt;/em&gt; features a dust-jacket picture of Erich von Stroheim as the crazy Norma Desmond&#039;s chauffeur in &lt;em&gt;Sunset Boulevard&lt;/em&gt; but has no reference to him in the text as one of the greatest directors of the silent era. There are more references to James Cameron than to any other moviemaker and an account of what it is like to sit on stage with him, watching an audience in 3D goggles transfixed by &lt;em&gt;Avatar&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still, there is much to enjoy in this book, and nuggets of information on recent cinematic developments to be mined. Stock does, however, repeat the canard that Clark Gable had a catastrophic effect on the underwear industry during the depression, when he appeared without a vest in &lt;em&gt;It Happened One Night&lt;/em&gt;. But she makes up for this by coining a valuable new word. In the proof copy of her book she refers to the fashionably deranged vision of the &quot;photagonist&quot; of Cronenberg&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Spider&lt;/em&gt;. Sadly this is changed to &quot;protagonist&quot; in the corrected version.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/film&quot;&gt;Film&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/philipfrench&quot;&gt;Philip French&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
