  • Don’t snarl at the beach resort – Sandals is a great way to experience Jamaica

    On his show Parts Unknown, Anthony Bourdain spoke of the “Two Jamaicas”. There’s the Jamaica where citizens “live, cook and struggle” — what he calls the “Real Jamaica”. And then, he says, there’s the Jamaica “you’re probably more familiar with”. As he says it, we see a sunburned tourist, cocktail in hand, splashing in the [...]

  • Best of travel: Why Panama is Latin America’s hot holiday destination

    To tide us over until we’re able to travel again, we’re republishing classic travel stories from our archives. Today we revisit Alex Dymoke’s trip to Panama to see if it really is all hats and canals. ••• In Britain, Panama is famous for two things: the canal and canoe man. Back in 2002, John Darwin [...]

  • Best of travel: A psychedelic trip to San Jose Del Pacifico

    To tide us over until we’re able to travel again, we’re republishing classic travel stories from our archives. This week we revisit Alex Dymoke’s trip to San Jose Del Pacifico, where he discovered the darker side of psychedelic tourism. ••• It’s a beautiful day in San Jose Del Pacifico, a small village high in the [...]

  • Le Farnatchi hotel review: Refined, laid-back luxury in the heart of Marrakech

    March 6, 2020

    Personal space? In the souk, there’s no such thing. Belts. Bags. Trinkets. Shoes. Earthenware. Snakes. All will be thrust under your nose within minutes of entering the old town. Mules kick up clouds of nose-tickling dust. Scooters slalom recklessly through the throng. All around, commerce unfolds as it has done for centuries: aggressive, loud, and, [...]

  • Film review: The Tribe

    May 15, 2015

    Cert 18 | ★★★☆☆    That this daring film got an international release at all is one of several impressive things about it. For not only is it sickeningly violent and utterly pessimistic, but it also plays out entirely in Russian Sign Language – without subtitles. Don’t bring a date.   The plot is mercifully [...]

  • Julie Verhoeven: Whiskers Between My Legs – art review

    December 12, 2014

    ICA | ★★★★☆ Confrontational feminist art   It’s Christmas! And that can only mean one thing at the ICA – bitingly confrontational feminist art from the brilliant Julie Verhoeven. Don’t be fooled by the title; Whiskers Between My Legs is at no pains to pussyfoot around the subject of women’s portrayal in the media. The [...]

  • Theatre review: Treasure Island

    December 12, 2014

    Olivier Theatre | ★★★☆☆ The National Theatre employed the services of a “comedy consultant” for its lavish new Treasure Island adaptation. Whatever he did, it didn’t work – the jokes let down an otherwise impressive production that kids will enjoy (if not love) and adults will tolerate. Too often laughs are grasped at clumsily, upsetting the [...]

  • Pod only knows: Great storytelling podcasts, from Sarah Koenig’s Serial to Jonathan Goldstein’s WireTap

    December 8, 2014

    Fearing the end of Serial? Don’t worry, there are plenty other great storytelling podcasts out there Thanks to Sarah Koenig, podcasts are cool again. Her unearthing of a fifteen year old murder case involving three teenagers, a mobile phone and a host of hazy details has proved an unlikely talking point for people all over [...]

  • Art review: Tony Bevan: Trees and Archives at Ben Brown Fine Arts

    December 5, 2014

    Ben Brown Fine Arts | ★★★★★ Yorkshire-born painter Tony Bevan, 63, is renowned for bloodshot portraits mapped with veins that contort, twist and strain toward the subconscious. His latest exhibition (a show of 15 new paintings of trees and archive grids) is a departure in terms of subject matter but not in terms of theme. [...]

  • Black Sea film review: Jude Law’s absurdly overcooked accent isn’t the worst thing in this submarine borefest

    December 5, 2014

    Cert 15 | ★☆☆☆☆ Maybe three miles under the sea, locked in a rusty tube with a dozen sweaty blokes, is the only place Jude Law can be trusted not to get anyone pregnant. That’s the only reason I can think of for why he agreed to this sub-Guy Richie, substandard, submarine borefest.   It’s [...]
