Andrew Semans on Resurrection: ‘It came from thinking about parental anxiety’

Ahead of its Scottish premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, director Andrew Semans talks to Alistair Harkness about his new chiller Resurrection, starring Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth © Rebecca Hall in Resurrection It’s early July and New York-based filmmaker Andrew Semans is talking via Zoom about the origins of his unsettling psychological horror film Resurrection.“It came from thinking about parental anxiety,” he says of the film, which stars Rebecca Hall as an over-protective mother whose tightly controlled life starts unravelling as her teenage daughter prepares to leave for college.

Her idol Margaret Thatcher’s wardrobe was famously packed with clothes from British brands.

And now would-be PM Liz Truss is quite literally following suit – by also staying loyal to UK designers as she dresses to impress on her journey to No 10.

Mrs Thatcher’s most talked-about outfits, including her royal blue crepe suit, were by Aquascutum – a label she remained loyal to throughout her reign. Ms Truss, 47, often turns to high street chain Karen Millen.

Eye-bleeding virus with 30 percent death rate reaches Western Europe

A VIRUS that causes eyes and other orifices to bleed has returned to Europe, after a case of the deadly disease was recorded in Britain in March.Authorities in Spain said last week that a man in the Castile and Leon region had been diagnosed with Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF). The virus - which is spread predominantly through bites from infected ticks - has a mortality rate of around 30 percent, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

And the day before that she also wore the label, sold by Ms Millen in 2016 – this time an orange dress.

She is also a fan of London designer Winser, wearing their purple, £185 Grace Miracle dress as she met Tory members at Fontwell racecourse in West Sussex.

High street chains LK Bennett and Whistles, plus new website The Fold, are other favourites of hers.
