Bust out the popcorn: What to watch at Sydney Film Festival
This story is part of the May 31 edition of Good Weekend. See all 14 stories. WATCH / Scene stealers Cinephiles, it's time to get those corn kernels a-poppin'. Over 12 days (June 4-15) and 13 venues, the Sydney Film Festival will be raising the curtain on 201 films from 70 countries, more than half of them Australian premieres (17 of them world debuts), many still wreathed in glory from recent screenings at Toronto, Sundance and Cannes. These include Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind ('70s art heist), starring Josh O'Connor, It Was Just an Accident (Iranian Jafar Panahi's reimagining of the road movie) and Cherien Dabis's All That's Left of You (sweeping Palestinian family saga). Expect a heavy sprinkling of stardust, too, namely Mike Flanagan's The Life of Chuck (Stephen King adaptation, starring Tom Hiddleston) and On Swift Horses (sizzling '50s love pickle with Daisy Edgar-Jones and leading man-of-the-hour Jacob Elordi). Other Aussies will be out in force, too; don't miss Slanted, by newbie filmmaker Amy Wang, and the jewel in the opening-night crown, Together (starring real-life double act Alison Brie and Dave Franco), by Michael Shanks. (Fret not, Victorians: the Melbourne International Film Festival kicks off on August 7; watch this space.) READ / The write stuff Deception, misappropriation, ethical dilemmas, ambition – I Want Everything, the debut novel from Australian writer Dominic Amerena (Summit Books; $35), has it all. When a down-on-his-luck writer spots an iconic literary recluse at his local pool, he can't believe his luck. He worms his way into her affections, persuading her to spill the beans on the true stories behind her two celebrated novels and let him write her biography, convinced it will make his name as a writer. First, though, he must put aside his moral scruples. A literary thriller as well as a takedown of book-industry pretensions, with a cracker of an ending. Nicole Abadee LISTEN / Back to life Jacob Haendel was handed a death sentence in 2017. Due to complications from his heroin addiction, he contracted a rare, progressive brain disease that kills anyone who gets it within six months. He deteriorated to the point where doctors thought he was brain-dead but, in fact, he was trapped in his body, fully conscious, despite the inability to speak, eat or move a muscle. He was in hell. And he became aware that his wife, who outwardly played the fiercely protective caregiver, was separating him from his family, planning to divorce him; she even announced his death on social media. Spoiler alert: he miraculously survives. In the podcast Blink, host Corinne Vien helps Haendel tell the remarkable tale of someone who lost his life and then clawed his way back. Barry Divola

Lighten up: How to press reset on winter fashion's dark default setting
This story is part of the May 31 edition of Good Weekend. See all 14 stories. How do I break out of black, my winter-fashion safety zone? When grey clouds gather, many people feel the need to compete by dressing top to toe in funereal black. This isn't a condition afflicting the population of Melbourne alone: erstwhile sun-worshippers as far afield as Coffs Harbour have been known to mourn the loss of beach days, pool parties and barbecues by donning turtlenecks, pants and dark blazers. Perhaps it's time, though, to let in a little light and embrace some winter white. I'm not suggesting a complete white-out à la Liz Hurley or disgraced rapper Sean Combs in the '90s: instead, feel your way in by wearing white pieces alongside your black staples (which might include a bomber or biker jacket, or one of those aforementioned blazers). Black boots anchor wide-cut white jeans, too, with dark accessories – such as a pair of killer shades to neutralise any new-outfit glare – sharpening the urban edge. If white still feels too stark, think about migrating to warmer shades of bone, ivory and oat.
