The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history - millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever. 
What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874. See the show that changed everything on the big screen.

The Impressionists, once scorned and penniless, revolutionized art with their 1874 exhibition, which took place outside official channels. This film explores the passion and rebellion behind their groundbreaking work, told through the words of artists, the press, and the people of Paris, 150 years ago. Experience the exhibition that changed everything.

“This year I turned 52. According to the society I live in, I’ve reached menopause- in  Hebrew the word for menopause is blut, which means  decay - the official insult assigned to aging women. No wonder so many women that turn 50 celebrate their birthday by sitting shiva.
And I say: fuck it”.

We misunderstood the term. The decay isn’t ours. It belongs to everything in life that no longer fits: the decay of guilt, the decay of people-pleasing, the decay of fear of what others will say, the decay of everything that keeps me from being myself.
At 50, I am more me than I’ve ever been. EVER.”

She is coming out with an anti–aging performance: A new stand-up act about a woman’s  relationships  during menopause: with her body, her personality, her refusal to wear glasses, her teenagers, Botox, her partner, her sexuality, her bladder — and with the term: “menopause.”
In this show, I rebrand it as The Fuck-It Age

Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.

Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?

Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.
