Part erotic killer-thriller, part morbid fairy tale, Tom Tykwer’s new film “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer” is a visual feast that is both oddly captivating and deeply uncomfortable to watch. Based on the 1985 international best seller by Munich writer Patrick Süskind, “Perfume” is the tale of an olfactory genius who becomes obsessed with distilling the scent of virgins in his murderous pursuit to create the perfect perfume. Tykwer (“Run, Lola, Run”) and producer Bernd Eichinger (who wrote the screenplay for last year’s Oscar-nominated drama “Downfall”) combine a lush score with breathtaking sets....

In pursuing the goal of continental economic integration, however, we have sought to exclude workers. We tell ourselves that somehow, magically, we can integrate all markets except one: labor. But the interpersonal, institutional and cultural links that inevitably accompany market integration make international migration more, rather than less, likely. To maintain the fiction that our borders will miraculously be permeable to all flows except labor, the United States has dramatically increased the size of the Border Patrol, raising its budget and personnel by a factor of six....

That’s what many people were calling former army Maj. James Hewitt, 36, last week, after the publication of a kiss-and-tell memoir that sets a new standard for sleaziness, even in the British royal-watching industry. “Princess in Love,” by Anna Pasternak, a grandniece of the great Russian writer, purports to tell the story of an alleged five-year love affair between Hewitt and Princess Diana. If the story is even partly true, it’s an affair to remember, but not for good taste or good writing (“Theirs was a love that could not be aired”)....

Yeah, that’s not what happened. That’s not how it works at the Olympics, never has been. So why is the world still keeping score that way? So many have come to believe the RBI is a vacant statistic, but it’s Einstein’s theory of relativity compared to the Olympic medal standings. They’re ridiculous.

Tuesday’s 3-0 win over Anderlecht in the Champions League was not without criticism and Ancelotti’s side have already been beaten in the league following a shock defeat to Hoffenheim.

James is one of a growing number of infertile women who are implanted with embryos conceived in a laboratory from their husbands’ sperm and ova from other women.

Most donees, like James, have experienced premature menopause. And though the average recipient is under 45, the outer limits of this in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure are being pushed to 55....

Last year, about 10,000 homeless individuals were moved into 63 hotel properties around the city amid the raging COVID-19 pandemic.

Brendan Rodgers's side has had its moments of 'same old' inconsistency this season and it would still be a huge surprise if it actually lifted the trophy come May. But the astonishing viciousness with which Liverpool dismantled Arsenal at Anfield — arguably the best performance of any English team in 2013-14 — showed us yet more glimpses of a seriously excellent team.
