We are now in the throes of drone strikes happening both in ukraine and russia. it s worth stressing, though, that in ukraine, dozens of civilians die every week. we have seen a college dormitory directly hit by a russian missile overnight. but what we are also seeing are more and more drone strikes deep inside either russian territory or russian controlled territory in ukraine. kyiv will never acknowledge responsibility, but there s been a definite heightening of language used, where you have president zelensky warning that the war is going to come to russia. today we have a senior adviser, mykhailo podolyak, talking about the conflict being brought to the authors of this war, and he s promised more drone strikes. so, ukraine really is stretching the boundaries of denial, but we don t know for sure who is behind these drone strikes. russia, after all, is no stranger to false flag operations where it fabricates events to justify future actions. ....

Have a kind of gloss finish. you think about the characterisation that ronald searle comes up with in those drawings, those kind of quite spindly characters. they re sort of etiolated figures. is there a link, do you think, in those characters, between those characters and some of the characters that you create in yourfilm? i think the important thing about searle being an inspiration, or, if you like, an influence on me, it s not so much about specific characters. it s about a way of looking at the world. i mean, if you look at my characters in my films, and indeed plays. ..it s never i never allow it to be described as naturalism, it s realism, it gets to the essence of what s real. i mean, you have to believe in it being absolutely real when you see in the moment when you see it. but there s a certain, there s an edge, there s a distillation. there s a heightening, which is a natural thing for an artist like ronald searle to do. and that s what i do. so i can t talk about a dire ....
