Romance whose release was cancelled by Amazon set to enjoy highest-profile platform to date, ahead of distribution in France, Italy and elsewhere A Rainy Day in New York, Woody Allen’s romantic comedy dropped by distributor Amazon in the wake of the #MeToo movement, is to open the Deauville American film festival next month. The film, which stars Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning, will have its highest profile booking so far at the festival, which begins on 6 September.

The son of two space explorers is marooned on a world filled with dazzling wildlife in this refreshing family animation In this French animated feature, pre-teen tyke Will (voiced as a perky American in the English-language release by Landen Beattie), the son of a pair of explorers, is literally lost in space. Separated from his parents, he gets marooned on a strange planet with only a helpful semi-spherical robot named Buck (Jason Anthony) for companionship. This classic, Robinson Crusoe-style conceit is imaginatively built on to create a likable survival story skewed towards kids.

17:20A fourth Matrix movie is exactly the kind of rabbit hole reality needs right now - Guardian Unlimited Film NewsWith its ‘red pill’ imagery co-opted by incels, how nice that Lana Wachowski, a trans woman, could give the original a sequel it deserves Of the 10 highest-grossing films of 2019, only one – Jordan Peele’s Us – isn’t part of a franchise. Few jaws will have hit the floor, then, at the wholly un-flabbergasting news that sci-fi punch-’em-up The Matrix is to return next year with a fourth instalment. The original trilogy’s co-creator Lana Wachowski will co-write and direct, and both Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are set to re-stretch their leather trousers, despite the inconvenient matter of both (...) -- The Matrix, Keanu Reeves, Science fiction and fantasy films, Lana Wachowski

19:35The Guardian view on 16-year-old soldiers: armies are for adults | Editorial - Guardian Unlimited LeadersWith under-18s making up almost 30% of recent British army recruits, the UK is increasingly out of step That the British army has, over the past year, continued its energetic recruitment of 16- and 17-year-olds should surprise no one who is familiar with the ongoing argument about the UK’s child soldiers, of whom there are around 2,300. Calls by campaigners, MPs and others to raise the age of enlistment to 18, in line with the vast majority of other countries (the UK is the only country in Europe or Nato to accept 16-year-olds), have been ignored before.

The great ice sheets are more valuable to the world than the oil that lies beneath them One of the classic storylines of science fiction is the emergence of a mutant child, with powers far beyond those of adults and no understanding of their use. The theme is carried to its the extreme in Jerome Bixby’s story It’s a Good Life, where the omnipotent mutant is a toddler with no grasp of consequences. With Donald Trump in the White House, the whole world can get a taste of this capricious blundering.

Poles apart for decades, the similarities are now uncanny as populist governments produce ever more extreme policies For most of the time since 1945, the politics and government of Britain and Italy have seemed like polar opposites. True, both were important European powers. True too, each had a place among the world’s major economies. Even now, Britain and Italy will be among the select group of economically powerful nations whose leaders will gather in the Second Empire splendour of Biarritz’s Hotel du Palais this weekend for the latest G7 summit.

We must challenge the rhetoric that describes those living with dementia as no longer themselves, says Roger Clough. Plus letters from Nori Graham, Jim Cosgrove and Barbara Deering Nicci Gerrard writes movingly about the ways that we try to keep dementia at arm’s length (Don’t ignore dementia – it affects us all, 15 August). Dementia is what so many of us fear most about old age. It is a disease of the brain, but its impact is immeasurably different to other physical diseases. It is thought of as a single invasive force, but may affect memory, behaviour, sense of location or speech.

18:07A glimmer of hope after the cuts that derailed the Welsh economy | Letters - Guardian Unlimited CommentThe Heart of Wales line offers rare hope amid the decline of the railways, argue Keith Maton and Margaret Dickinson. Nigel Stapley says Wales as a whole has suffered as part of the United Kingdom I agree with many of the positive points made by John Harris about the Heart of Wales railway line (Want to see the future? Take a trip on Wales’ model railway, 19 August). He is spot-on about the efforts of community groups to keep the line open under considerable duress, and to provide a focus for the efforts of voluntary groups. However, he may not appreciate that the line is a rare exception (...) -- Rail transport, Transport, UK news, Wales, Rail travel, TfL, London, Welsh politics, Politics

Views on the Labour leader’s role in any national unity government from Richard Cox, Stan Labovitch, Michelle Webb and Derrick Cameron A government of national unity is perfectly possible (‘National Unity’ is a movie that’ll never get made in Westminster, 17 August), but it will take pragmatism and courage. Whoever gets the temporary PM role is political toast; an important footnote in history. This is the time for Jeremy Corbyn to grasp a golden opportunity. If he steps aside for another, probably a senior politician with no ambition left, he will be recognised as a political hero and titan: (...) -- Jeremy Corbyn, Politics, Brexit, Article 50, UK news, European Union, Foreign policy

Rev Paul Nicolson on an inadequate government response to the children’s commissioner’s report on homelessness, and Gary Martin on families in London being moved to other boroughs The children’s commissioner’s report on homelessness, revealing that thousands are growing up in converted shipping containers and former office blocks (Report, 21 August), receives a totally inadequate response from a government spokesman of which ministers should be publicly ashamed: “No child should ever be without a roof over their head.” A government with an ounce of humanity would state that no child should ever (...) -- Homelessness, Children, Social exclusion, Housing, Poverty, Society, Local government, UK news, Politics, London

This would solve the problem of predicted A-level grades, and students who choose university after a year’s break are likely to be confident they actually want to be there, writes Angela Barton An obvious answer to the problem of predicted grades (Editorial, 17 August) has been raised before but does not seem to be seriously considered. That is: students go to university the year after their A-levels. This means they know their grades and have time to think about their possible course and preferred college. Depending on their circumstances they may work, carry out further study, travel.

Changing your name | School summer holidays | Socks | HS2 | No-deal Brexit | Today programme Apropos men who take their wives’ surnames (’My fiancee’s name was so much cooler than mine’, G2, 20 August), I’m two years younger than my wife. When we got married, she told me that she intended to keep her surname, on the grounds that she’d had her name longer than I’d had mine. We’re both mathematicians, and I couldn’t find fault with her logic or her arithmetic. Dr David Harper Cambridge • A letter (20 August) suggested radical changes to the academic year.

15:35I’m not surprised Olivia Laing is sharing her book prize money – I did the same | Daniel Hahn - Guardian Unlimited CommentThe novelist splitting her James Tait Black prize winnings with other writers is a sign of the literary world’s hidden generosity When I read this week that Olivia Laing would be sharing her James Tait Black prize winnings with her fellow shortlisted novelists, I was less surprised than some. Not because I know Laing (I don’t), but because her decision made sense. In 2017, I donated half my winnings for the International Dublin Literary award to establish a new prize for debut translators, the TA First Translation prize. The previous week, Jessica Cohen won the Man Booker International (...) -- Books, Awards and prizes, Culture, Olivia Laing, UK news, Fiction, Fiction in translation

Why must we pay the price for widespread prejudice? I know it’s coming – the double-take at my face, the auxiliary taps on the keyboard, the indiscreet scribble on my boarding pass. I find myself thinking a familiar thought: thank God I came early.

13:15Meritocracy is a myth – so don't judge people on their GCSE grades | Michael Segalov - Guardian Unlimited CommentUntil pupils from all sections of society have an equal chance of success, exam results should not be taken at face value On exam results days, there’s now something of a social media tradition of those long out of the school system sharing stories of success despite a disappointing set of results. In some cases it’s an honest attempt to reassure those who’ve not hit the high grades that their future is one still full of potential; for Jeremy Clarkson it’s just an annual excuse to show off.

12:00Yes, contemporary capitalism can be compatible with liberal democracy | William Arthur Galston - Guardian Unlimited CommentChanges in capitalism’s structure have moved faster than the policies required to domesticate them, and liberal democratic governments are scrambling to catch up Is contemporary capitalism compatible with liberal democracy? The glib answer, though not wrong, is that it had better be. There are no known examples of fully socialized economies with a liberal democratic regime. The more considered answer is that it can be, but only with the public policies that make it so. The relationship between liberal democracy and capitalism changes over time, as do the policies needed to make them (...) -- US economy, Economics, Business

20:00'Never piss off a poet': Selina Tusitala Marsh on colonialism, Sam Hunt and kickboxing - Guardian Unlimited BooksNew Zealand’s poet laureate rails against racism – but her poetry is more subversive than strident: ‘You can seduce someone to get your point across’ She blows in like a song carried on a powerful current: a wild-haired woman, larger than life, carrying a tall carved stick. She loses things in that hair, she says; finds pens in there days after they went missing. A force of energy swirls around her as she sweeps into the Brisbane cafe, fresh from her daily 9km run. The stick is a tokotoko, a Māori symbol of status and authority, given to the celebrated scholar poet Selina Tusitala Marsh when (...) -- Poetry, Books, Culture, New Zealand, Australia news, Asia Pacific, Polynesia

12:58The Scientific Attitude by Lee McIntyre review – a defence against denial, fraud and pseudoscience - Guardian Unlimited BooksIn a world of ‘alternative facts’ respect for evidence must lie at the heart of any scientific endeavour What is the scientific attitude? In 1941, at the lowest point of the war, the developmental biologist Hal Waddington published a small book with that title. The scientific attitude, he asserted, was rational, disinterested, evidence-dependent and above all modern. In alliance with progressive artists and architects, it confronted the irrationality of nazism, and shared many of the values of Soviet communism. Today, nearly 80 years later, when irrationality is once again growing, science (...) -- Philosophy books, Books, Culture, Science and nature books, Homeopathy, Alternative medicine, Health & wellbeing
