You almost can’t quite believe that someone hadn’t had this idea before: a well-to-do creative couple living in a cosy Madrid apartment decide that they want to wrap-up their 15 year relationship. Instead of being embarrassed or even saddened by the decision, they instead chose to organise a big party, on the logic that everyone celebrates union and no-one celebrates separation. And that’s massively unfair on separation.Itsaso Arana is the comically unsentimental Ale, an independent filmmaker who refuses to let her guard down and spends the vast majority of the film with a scowl on her face as if to transmit her constant air of…

Through both fiction and fact, they reveal the shocking truth behind institutions that controlled women’s lives, from forced adoptions to Magdalene laundries.

AI could automate some government paperwork, but it comes with serious risksBrett Hondow / Alamy Many countries are exploring how artificial intelligence might help with everything from processing taxes to determining welfare benefits. But a survey shows citizens are not as enthusiastic as their governments – and this can create real risks for democracy. “Focusing only on short-term efficiency gains and shiny technology risks triggering public backlash and contributing to a long-term decline in democratic trust and legitimacy,” says Alexander Wuttke at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany. Wuttke and his colleagues asked around 1200 people in the…

The term “blockbuster” is derived from a nickname for a particular type of bomb used by the Allies in World War II. That’s kind of ironic, because the word blockbuster was initially used in a cinematic contest to describe movies that were the opposite of bombs. Blockbusters, as the world now knows them, really came about in the mid 1970s, when films like Jaws and Star Wars drew such enormous crowds that people lined up around the block to see them. Hence, a block-buster.Fifty years later, “blockbuster” has almost become a catch-all word for a genre: Massive spectacles filled with enormous special effects that typically come out in…

It’s been six years since indie darling Alex Ross Perry whet his band-movie palette with the odious ace Her Smell. Ever since, the writer/​director/​producer has kept almost exclusively to directing music videos. Or so it seemed. As it turns out, Perry has been hard at work on a sprawling, singular band-movie project – a major stylistic departure and a magnum opus to date for the once-post-mumblecore filmmaker – Pavements.For those that don’t know going in (like me), Pavement – or ​“The Slacker Rolling Stones of the 90s” as a talking head describes them – are one of the great disrupters of rock music history,…

Smooth horsetail plants have segmented stemspiemags/nature/Alamy A strange plant that has existed since animals first walked on land can distil water to an extreme degree, making it look more like water from meteorites than regular water from Earth. As well as being key to understanding ecosystems today, the plant’s fossilised remains could shed light on Earth’s climate and water systems when dinosaurs were alive. Almost all the oxygen atoms in water have eight neutrons, but some are rare, heavier isotopes with nine or 10 neutrons. When water evaporates, lighter isotopes evaporate more than the heavier ones, making the ratio change…
