I captured this image of the iconic “Rokuban-Yagura Turret in Osaka Castle” with my iPhone 17 Pro Max while visiting Osaka, Japan. These historic wooden towers, situated on the moat wall, were used for defense, storage, and surveillance…

Cherry Blossom Snow

I took this photo of the “Cherry Blossoms” at Osaka Castle with my iPhone 17 Pro Max while visiting Osaka, Japan. This walkway runs along the moat wall and leads to the entrance to Osaka Castle. I love all the cherry blossom petals that look like light snow on the surrounding grounds…

The Unknown review – Léa Seydoux gets invaded in uncanny and bizarre body-swap horror

Cannes film festival: A man is terrified to wake up in Seydoux’s body in this metempsychotic mystery film about gender identity

Arthur Harari’s film is adapted from a graphic novel he wrote with his brother Lucas called The Case of David Zimmerman. It is a doomy, murky and intriguing supernatural noir mystery, hardly visible within the dark toxic cloud of its own strangeness, populated by people bearing stricken expressions of misery and fear. There are some genuinely uncanny and disquieting moments. Maybe it is a parable for the crisis of gender identity – or just identity, and everyone’s occasional experience of the profound, unreconcilable unknowability of our own bodies. There is also something of the mood of Blow-Up, or Basil Dearden’s Brit pulp chiller The Man Who Haunted Himself, or indeed David Robert Mitchell’s modern classic It Follows. But this one, sadly, is flawed by that perennial problem of how to end a story with a great premise.

Niels Schneider plays David Zimmerman, a photographer in his late 30s documenting the way in which his home town has changed over the past century – a project inherited from his photographer dad. (He has an old photo of them both seated on the pavement, apparently mimicking Chaplin and the Kid.) David is overworked, dishevelled and depressed, but is just about persuaded to go along to a raucous New Year’s Eve party where he is stunned to glimpse a woman staring at him, played by Léa Seydoux, whom he realises he photographed a few months’ previously.

Mohamed Salah’s spiky leaving of Liverpool puts Slot in awkward spot

Forward was dropped after a previous attempt to undermine coach, but doing so now could spark mutiny

We can safely say how Arne Slot would like to respond to Mohamed Salah’s latest attempt to undermine him. The Champions League trip to Inter in December, when Salah was left at home as punishment for his incendiary interview at Leeds three days earlier, provides as clear an indication as any. But should a repeat offence result in a repeat sanction on Sunday? Liverpool and their besieged head coach could do without inflaming a potential mutiny at Anfield.

Salah decided to draw up battle lines before his departure, with Saturday’s social media post criticising Liverpool’s direction under Slot. His concerns are widely shared by the Liverpool fanbase and the Liverpool squad, it seems, given the support it received from Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Andy Robertson and several members of last summer’s underwhelming recruitment drive. Arrive at great expense, fail to deliver and fuel the sense that a toxic civil war is erupting behind the scenes: thanks for your efforts lads. It is impossible to say what prompted each individual like on Instagram but that is the impression the collective has given.

Damrak toont herstel ondanks onrust in Midden-Oosten

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - De beurshandel op het Damrak liet maandag gaandeweg herstel zien, na de verliezen van vrijdag. Daarbij kreeg de markt steun van olieprijzen die weliswaar nog stegen, maar minder hard dan tijdens de ochtendhandel. Dat kwam door een Iraans mediabericht dat meldde dat Amerikaanse functionarissen zouden hebben ingestemd met het opschorten van sancties op Iraanse ruwe olie. Dit zou gelden zolang de onderhandelingen over het beëindigen van de oorlog doorgaan.

Eerder op de dag klommen de olieprijzen nog stevig door aanhoudende spanningen in het Midden-Oosten na een nieuwe waarschuwing van de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump aan Iran. In een bericht op Truth Social schreef hij zondag dat "de klok tikt" en dat er "niets meer over zal zijn" van Iran als het land niet snel in actie komt.

De AEX, de index van de dertig meest verhandelde fondsen op de beurs in Amsterdam, sloot 0,5 procent hoger op 1015,72 punten. De MidKap herstelde 0,2 procent tot 1037,97 punten.
