New Movies on Streaming: ‘Thunderbolts,' ‘Ballerina' + More
Jane Austen Wrecked My Life, a French romantic comedy written and directed by Laura Piani, stars Camille Rutherford as Agathe Robinson, a French bookseller who writes a romance novel and finds herself at a writers residency where she becomes entangled in a love triangle. Sounds like the perfect antidote to superheroes and shoot-'em-ups if you ask me.
These are just a few of the films that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.
Marvel's Thunderbolts, which arrived on demand this week, marks the final film in Phase Five of the MCU. (Ironheart, the new series that just dropped on Disney+, is the last show in Phase Five.) In Thunderbolts, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena Belova, the adopted sister of Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow character. Yelena, a black widow assassin herself, is now leading a team of antiheroes, including Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and Red Guardian (David Harbour) as they find themselves on a dangerous expedition that will redeem their reputations.
WHERE TO WATCH THUNDERBOLTS
Ballerina, which is set in the John Wick universe and does indeed feature Keanu Reeves as our previously dead assassin, stars Ana de Armas as Eve, an assassin herself. After the death of her own father when she was a child, Eve was taken in by Winston, the character portrayed in every Wick movie by Ian McShane, who eventually trains her to be a trained killer (who also happens to be an actual ballerina). The film is out now on demand.

From Adler to Zendaya: A New Jewelry Encyclopedia
Three years ago, Phaidon publishing house asked Melanie Grant, then an editor at The Economist, if she would be interested in compiling a new encyclopedia of jewelry. She just about 'bit their hand off,' she said during a telephone interview from her home in London. 'I thought, 'We could put some interesting people in there.'' Now 'The Jewelry Book,' a 328-page volume ($79.95), is scheduled for publication Sept. 24. It features 300 jewelry-related personalities, including collectors, dealers and jewelers from the 16th century to today. Organized in alphabetical order, the book begins with A, for the Swiss jeweler Adler, and runs to Z, for Zendaya, a Bulgari ambassador. Heritage names include Jean Schlumberger, who designed the Bird on a Rock for Tiffany & Company in 1965. There are also contemporary designers such as Valérie Messika of Paris and Feng Ji of Shanghai and trendy brands like Gabby Elan Jewelry of New York City, which has made custom grills for the likes of Rihanna and Marc Jacobs. (Free exhibitions of work by some of the jewelers in the book are scheduled at Sotheby's New York from Sept. 10 to 21 and the Elisabetta Cipriani gallery in London from Sept. 22 to 27.) Seventeen jewelry experts, including Emily Stoehrer, the senior curator of jewelry at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, agreed to be on an advisory panel. They were 'much more knowledgeable of antique and vintage jewelry,' Ms. Grant said, as 'my speciality is more contemporary jewelry.' (She collaborated with Sotheby's in 2021 on 'Brilliant and Black: A Jewelry Renaissance,' an exhibition featuring 21 Black jewelry designers that Sotheby's described as the first of its kind by a major auction house.)

Marie Antoinette Inspires a Gem-Laden Necklace
In July 2023, Laure-Isabelle Mellerio, the president and artistic director of the Mellerio jewelry brand, toured Marie Antoinette's private chambers at Versailles after their extensive five-year renovation. 'I discovered the little apartment of the queen,' Ms. Mellerio recalled last month on a video call from the brand's flagship store on Paris's Rue de la Paix, 'and I thought it would be a good idea to perhaps design a necklace.' After all, Ms. Mellerio is the 14th-generation owner of the house, founded by her family in 1613. And on July 2, during a private dinner at Versailles, the house unveiled Jardin des Rêves, or Garden of Dreams, the one-of-a-kind necklace that is the result of Ms. Mellerio's vision. Featuring 14 types of gemstones — including aquamarine, rubellite, tanzanite, imperial topaz, sapphire and tourmaline — totaling 172 carats, the 18-karat gold necklace features a one-carat Mellerio-cut diamond from which hangs a pendant in the shape of a pineapple; the gem-encrusted gold pendant may be removed and worn as an earring. The design is a nod to the pineapple-pattern wall coverings in the queen's chambers, recalling a time when the tropical fruit was considered a symbol of wealth and exoticism. Christophe Mélard, Mellerio's managing director, said the house had been inspired by the extravagant style of the doomed queen, who was executed in the French Revolution. 'Her personal taste was extremely colorful in terms of textiles, in terms of silk,' Mr. Mélard said. 'Surprisingly, when you consider Versailles, which is huge, her private apartments were very small, very intimate. On the walls and in front of the windows, you have beautiful textiles with a beautiful mix of colors, like a garden, with a tribute to a delicious, huge fruit, the ananas' — the French word for pineapple — 'which, in the 18th century, was considered the king of the fruits. 'We thought it could be extremely interesting to try to translate her personal taste into a jewelry piece.' Mellerio — which was one of the first jewelers to establish itself in Paris's Place Vendôme area, now a center of high jewelry brands — spent about a year creating the necklace in its workshops there. It is priced at 'around $1 million,' Mr. Mélard said. Frank Everett, the vice chairman of jewelry at Sotheby's, which auctioned a selection of Marie Antoinette's jewels in 2018, said Mellerio's riotous ode to the queen was a fitting way to honor her. 'She was the first It Girl,' Mr. Everett said. 'The excess of the time translated into Marie Antoinette's style, but she always put this ultra feminine, ladylike touch on things. She never looked overdone. She looked rich — that was the point — but it was beautifully orchestrated.'

Baubles, Bangles and Books
Van Cleef & Arpels is no stranger to the literary world. For the past 25 years, the jeweler has plumbed the classics for the themes of its high jewelry collections, highlighting fairy tales, love stories and adventure yarns. Late last year, for example, it unveiled the first portion in a 300-jewel collection inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island.' Now the jeweler's L'École School of Jewelry Arts has become a partner in a new series called Dédale. Its first three books were issued in mid-May. 'For us, books are an extremely important vector of transmission,' said Lise Macdonald, president of L'École. 'Today, we live in a digital world — we can't live without it,' she said. 'But connecting with knowledge through books and the printed word is central to our strategy for developing content and bringing the culture of jewelry to a wider audience.' The Dédale series was created with Franco Maria Ricci, or FMR, the Italian niche publisher known for producing lavishly illustrated books and magazines about art and literature. It was named for Daedalus, the mythological Greek architect said to have invented the Labyrinth, and inspired by the Library of Babel, a collection of 30 classics that the publishing house's founder and the Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges republished as collector's editions from 1975 to 1985. Dédale's editorial line, Ms. Macdonald said, is to explore the concept of treasure, both natural and human-made, as well as savoir-faire, jewels, collecting and related themes. The inaugural publications were 'Treasure Island,' featuring original artwork by the comic book artist Pierre-François Beauchard, known professionally as David B.; 'The Invisible Collection,' by Stefan Zweig, with reproductions of works by the 19th-century French artist Honoré Daumier; and 'Laura, a Journey Into the Crystal,' by George Sand, illustrated with paintings by Wenzel Hablik, an early 20th-century German Expressionist. Each book was issued in English, French and Italian editions and in two formats: a paperback edition, sold through FMR's website and distributors with prices from 18 to 28 euros ($21 to $32), and a hardcover collector's edition in a slipcase, sold exclusively at L'Escarboucle, L'École's bookstore in Paris, with prices from €85 to €110. A new title is expected to join the collection each spring and fall; there also are plans to issue books in more languages and to search out non-Western volumes. And while the series' initial focus has been on classics and rare texts, Ms. Macdonald said that the door remains open to unusual or contemporary works that speak to 'beauty, transmission and the labyrinth of the senses.' 'It's all about creating bridges between the arts, humanities and science and opening the world to other perspectives through jewels,' she said. 'The possibilities are endless.'
