It’s a statement debut from director Arkasha Stevenson, and a vicious, blood-slicked, coiled-up, oddly beautiful expulsion of horror, rooted in a distinctly Catholic expression of sexual turmoil. Margaret (Nell Tiger Free) has been invited to take her final vows in Italy by her mentor Cardinal Lawrence (Bill Nighy, made all the more sinister by the fact every line is delivered in that twinkly-eyed, mischievous Bill Nighy way). What Margaret discovers is an institution committed to cooking up the Antichrist.

For three and a half hours, the four members of the Tyrone family – a morphine addict, two alcoholics and a consumptive – shout and mope and recriminate, and director Jeremy Herrin really leans into the misery in his bleak, spare production of Eugene O’Neill’s masterpiece. [...] Brian Cox makes Tyrone a tyrant, barking and roaring, flaring into rage at the slightest provocation, simmering down just as quickly, and all the while his family don’t pay him the slightest bit of notice. He rages, Lear-like, impotent, and just as quickly becomes a tender husband, staring with deep love into his wife’s eyes.

Thankfully the band’s fourth album – their first in nine years, part-recorded in the relatively settled environment of their hotel and studio HQ on Margate’s seafront – has been made with clarity in mind, which comes with pros and cons. With Doherty far richer in voice, coherent in songwriting and restricting his more feral impulses to splashes of caterwauling backing noise, he and Carl Barat have been able to craft their most cogent album since their 2002 debut Up the Bracket.

We were the last sort I’d have thought she’d want to big up, but she’s found that our profession isn’t so different from her own. “[Journalism is] such a dog-eat-dog world, and you see when you watch the film: even though they make this thing happen together, it’s not without tricky dynamics, and sort of stabbing each other in the back to get the thing. I mean, I can relate in a way – on some level, that’s sort of what acting feels like.” I’m nodding, nodding, thinking of all the colleagues I mortally wounded so I could talk to Piper, the teen pop queen of my early adolescence, whom I watched transform into one of the best actors working in Britain today… wait, hang on – who has she stabbed in the back? “A number of people!” she jokes through a giant laugh. Then she’s serious, quiet, considered. “I don’t know if I’ve stabbed anyone in the back. But I’ve definitely seen it become a blood sport, I suppose is what I’m trying to say.” [Read the full interview
