Situated above Ronan Day-Lewis, the writer/director of " Anemone" and son of Rebecca Miller and the film's star Daniel Day-Lewis, in his apartment is a painting of a luminescent creature you'll meet in the film during a particularly dreamy sequence. Day-Lewis, 27, is a painter himself, having shown work in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and beyond. He spoke to me over Zoom from his place in New York, where he just premiered " Anemone " at the New York Film Festival.

New measures aimed at healing the wounds on all sides of the Northern Ireland Troubles have been unveiled by the British and Irish governments. They will replace the controversial Legacy Act brought in by the Conservatives that cancelled inquests and prosecutions.

For Jeanitta McCabe, the word kneecap conjures not a rap trio on stage but a memory that plays in her head, unspooling again and again in a loop. It is the night of 13 September 1990 and she is a 10-year-old at home in bed in Newry, County Down, when Northern Ireland's Troubles come barrelling through the family's front door. Six to eight men in masks storm into the two-storey council house and march her father, Peter, into the kitchen.
