Movie News - TV Drama
"The New Look" - Drama Series - Highly Recommended Apple TV’s new drama series “The New Look” hits the spot with a dream cast. It stars three of my favourite artists, Ben Mendelsohn as Dior, Juliette Binoche as Chanel, and John Malkovich as Lelong. The story of how those fashion icons and others navigate the horrors of World War II and the launch of Dior’s “New Look”. Inspired by actual events, it follows Parisian high fashion through the devastation in the final year of World War II and beyond. PS. The sketch by Giselle of Ben Mendelsohn* does not reflect his role but rather an impression of him as a complex artist.*

Prevention - Getting Proactive - “Prevent Brain Chaos - It hurts less” The verdict is out; no one wants Chaos in Brainland.

Under these conditions, it is impossible to create Harmony in Brainland. - Article by Dieter Luske
