title: Bitter Harvest (2017 film)

text:
Bitter Harvest is a 2017 period romantic-drama film set in Soviet Ukraine in the early 1930s. The film is the first English language feature film depicting Ukraine's 1932/33 famine genocide Holodomor, a period of massive famines that killed millions of mostly ethnic Ukrainians. The film stars Max Irons, Samantha Barks, Barry Pepper, Tamer Hassan, Lucy Brown and Terence Stamp.

The film was directed by George Mendeluk. The story and screenplay were written by Canadian screenwriter-actor Richard Bachynsky Hoover, based on his own Holodomor research. Filming took place in and around Kyiv, Ukraine, including the Pirohova original timber homes and churches heritage outdoor museum.

Plot

The Ukrainian Cossack, Ivan Kachaniuk, defends his family in Central Ukraine's Cherkashyna wheat and sunflower farming outskirts of Smila.

Years later, in 1932, Ivan's artist grandson Yuriy marries his childhood sweetheart, Natalka, and studies at the Kyiv Art Academy. His family are independent Cossack farmers, "kurkuli". They make a living from grain, sunflowers and other crops until Joseph Stalin's collectivization campaign sends his massive Bolshevik red army to requisition 90% of Ukraine's harvest.

The State Art Institute is forced to replace the art instructors with communist instructors who censor art such as Yuriy's, condemning its expression of Ukrainian cultural identity as anti-Soviet. Yuriy storms out in disgust.

During a memorial in a pub for a friend who committed suicide, a half drunk aggressive Soviet captain insults the Ukrainian folklore, music, songs, and dance, starting a fight during which Yuriy stabs the captain in self defense. The dreamy romantic artist from Smila winds up arrested and locked up in a brutal Soviet prison with Kulak farmers and various Ukrainian nationalists and others whom Stalin deems "Enemies of the People". Yuriy struggles daily in his cell witnessing daily mass executions outside his barred window, while knowing he might be one of them. Weeks later the sadistic prison commissar director Medvedev demands Yuriy paint his own portrait in return for more food and to save his life, but senses the director will have him executed as soon as the portrait is completed. During their second sitting, Yuriy distracts the director and stabs him in the throat with his paintbrush, killing him and takes his pistol and removes his Russian uniform and escapes wearing it  during a blizzard while being hunted relentlessly by the Bolshevik soldier guards.

Meanwhile, back in the Cossack farming village Smila, Yuriy's wife Natalka and family are enduring the terror of farm director Commissar Sergei Koltsov who attempts to rape her and uses food as a weapon to control her, but Natalka poisons his borscht with wild mushrooms. Sergei eventually comes around searching for Natalka who fled the scene to join the other peasant women. She bravely plans a revolt, which backfires thinking Sergei was dead, they are overpowered on Sergei's orders to have his Bolshevik attack and put down the peasant Womens revolt. Yuriy's family and the villagers are imprisoned in the local church, which now transformed into their own torture chamber and prison cell.

While being hunted by the Bolshevik police and soldiers in the northern Kyivan forests Yuri comes across a hungry desperate boy named Lubko who asks Yuri to help him survive as he offers his help through the forest to a cattle train stop towards Smila. That evening they are joined at their camp by the Kholodnyi Yar (Cold Ravine) Ukrainian Cossack detachment. They plan an attack on the Bolsheviks and wind up in a bloody battle the next morning against the Bolsheviks Gatling gunning down the uprising. Both sides suffer heavy casualties.

Yuriy and Lubko survive and continue their journey towards Smila by sneaking aboard a cattle train full of starved Ukrainian corpses. They witness massive starvation and death of their fellow Ukrainians on the roadsides and in pits. Nearing Smila they hijack a loaded Soviet grain truck whose sympathetic Bolshevik soldier driver joins Yuriy's rescue mission, bringing grain to the struggling now artist warriors family and their neighbouring villagers.

Yuriy, Natalka, and Lubko escape, others of the family starve or are murdered by Koltsov's forces. They are pursued onto another cattle train of Ukrainian corpses on their way to be dumped into fire pits, and, jumping the train, are chased to the Soviet border, the cold and turbulent Zbruch River. They dodge bullets under water crossing to Polish-controlled West Ukraine to get to the city of Lviv, hoping for help from the priest Andrey Sheptytsky to exchange the vast rich pastures of Ukraine for the prairies of Manitoba, Canada.

Location
Filmed in Pyrohiv Kyiv district outdoor museum, Ukraine. The film depicts the Ukrainian land, the village timber with thatched roof huts and the cabin homes with 18th century timber Orthodox churches. The concept and screenplay were created by Richard Bachynsky Hoover, a Canadian of Ukrainian descent. He was inspired to make the film after visiting the Pyrohiv museum in 1999 with his friend Sofia Karayim, who is from Lviv, Ukraine. They explored the area on white horses with a Ukrainian Cossack rider who rented a few horses for the tourists to ride, which he recalled the idea for a Ukrainian Cossack location for the movie several years later.

Hoover wrote the script in 2013. Later he received writing support from his Canadian-Ukrainian Ian Ihnatowycz who became the backer and top producer with Hoover as Executive Producer doing herculean work writing scouting Kyiv film locations and  teams crews cast stubts etc. Notably, British actor Terence Stamp and Canadian actor Barry Pepper were cast as Holodny Yar Cossacks. The film, set in an idyllic Cossack family environment, also showcases the Ukrainian countryside where Richard's son, Yevhen was born in 2008, and was raised as a toddler with his Ukrainian mother Alona Nianchenko who now has a second son Avdiy from her later marriage .

Cast

Production
First time Canadian screen writer and  film actor member of ACTRA Richard Bachynsky Hoover being half Ukrainian on his fathers side visited Ukraine twice between 1999 and 2004 and took part as a protester in the latter year elections second  rerun due to fraudulent  vote rigging by the Yanukovych party during the Viktor Yushchenko vs Viktor Yanukovych Orange Revolution which Yushchenko won. Being inspired by the patriotism of Ukrainians and hearing their tragic stories of the Holodomor during his protesting three months he decided to  take on a up hill struggle drafting the fiest English screenplay based on the topic. It took  several years and was a work in process which he made  many changes and being relentless he unsuccessfully sought financing from the Ukrainian Government and Ukrainian oligarchs there. In 2011 he was tipped off at a Toronto  Ukrainian church bake sale by a Ukrainian lady he recalls as "Irena"  who wrote down a potential well known investors name. The writer followed up and approached Canadian-Ukrainian Mr. Ian Ihnatowycz on a telephone pitch call. Ihnatowycz took deep interest in Richards rough screenplay and agreed to fund his research and development before committing in 2013 to financing the US$21 million film in its entirety.

Filming began in Ukraine on November 15, 2013, under the working title "The Devil's Harvest". Ihnatowycz said, "Given the importance of the Holodomor, and that few outside Ukraine knew about this man-made famine, because it had been covered up by the Kremlin regime, this chapter of history needed to be told in English on the silver screen for the first time in feature film history."

The shoot ended in Kyiv on February 5, 2014, concurrent with the Euromaidan demonstrations in which Bachynsky Hoover and several local crew took part.

Post-production continued in early 2014 at London's Pinewood Studios, using the James Bond tank to film underwater scenes. Skyfall editor Stuart Baird and SFX teams worked on the film in post-production.

Release
Roadside Attractions, an Indy arm of Americas Lions Gate Films Corp., released the film in the US on February 24, 2017. "D" Films Canada launched Bitter Harvest on March 3 in Canada. The film was launched in other countries during the first quarter of 2017.

Reception

Box office
Global box office sales were approximately $1 million. It was screened in various venues in more than 100 countries in 2017/18.

Critical response
Bitter Harvest received some negative reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it had a negative  approval rating, based on 61 reviews. The consensus states, "Bitter Harvest lives down to its title with a clichéd wartime romance, whose melodrama although honors the victims of the real-life horrors it uses as a backdrop." Sheri Linden of the Los Angeles Times called the film "utterly devoid of emotional impact." Several reviews agreed that the film would raise awareness,and did accurately depict the subject matter, with Peter Debruge of Variety stating that "there can be no doubt that the events deserve a more compelling and responsible treatment than this."

The New York Times, in review, wrote, "The topic is worthy, but the execution is a bit heavy-handed."

Film critic Godfrey Cheshire rated Bitter Harvest 3 stars out of 5. In review, he wrote, "Unfortunately, 'Bitter Harvest'  claims the virtues of a superior dramatic feature. Born in Germany of Ukrainian descent, Mendeluk has spent most his career as a director of Canadian TV movies, which this film unsurprisingly resembles. [...] Its narrative and visual approach almost suggests a compendium of the clichés one should avoid in a film like this."

In other positive reviews, Adrian Bryttan of The Ukrainian Weekly praised the film's direction and storytelling, calling it the "world-class Ukrainian art film of our time."

The Sydney Morning Herald called the film "a rousing tale with political pertinence".

title: Black Narcissus (Mephista album)

text:
Black Narcissus is an album by the group Mephista, which comprises pianist Sylvie Courvoisier, electronic artist Ikue Mori and percussionist Susie Ibarra, which was released on the Tzadik label in 2002.

Reception

In a review for AllMusic, Jesse Jarnow states "listening to Black Narcissus can be a confusing and trying experience. Each sound suggests something new, and all three musicians are wont to follow that impulse as quickly as possible. It is liberating and beautiful, but also so hyper that it is impossible to listen to with anything but rapt attention. Unless one commits fully to the disc, it will probably sound like an experimental annoyance. If one is willing to surrender, though, there is a rich world waiting".

title: Triple 9

text:
Triple 9 is a 2016 American heist action thriller film directed by John Hillcoat and written by Matt Cook. The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Aaron Paul, Clifton Collins Jr., Norman Reedus, Teresa Palmer, Michael K. Williams, Gal Gadot, Woody Harrelson, and Kate Winslet.

Triple 9 was released in the United States on February 26, 2016, by Open Road Films. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $25 million against its $20 million production budget.

Plot
An Atlanta criminal crew consisting of former Navy SEALs Michael Atwood and Russell Welch, Russell’s ex-cop brother Gabe, and corrupt  APD detectives Marcus Belmont and Franco Rodriguez, rob a bank to retrieve a safe deposit box. The box contains information that could overturn the recent conviction of a Jewish-Russian Mafia boss. When Michael brings the safe deposit box to the boss's wife, Irina, she withholds their reward money and gives Michael and his crew another mission, which involves breaking into a DHS office and stealing more data on her husband. To convince them to take the job, the mafia tortures and then dumps a mortally wounded Russell off in front of the crew, forcing Michael to mercy-kill Russell in front of them, traumatizing Gabe.

The group decides to go forward with the job. As they think of ways they can pull it off, Marcus and Franco suggest a Triple 9 scenario, which involves an "officer down" call that sends all of the police to the location of the incident, with Marcus nominating his new partner, Chris Allen, a Marine veteran, as the cop to be killed. Marcus tries to befriend Chris as they go out on calls together. During one call, Chris attempts to question a local gang member, Luis Pinto, about a gang-related homicide, only for Luis to attack Chris before being detained for his actions. Chris's uncle, Jeffrey Allen, is a Sgt. Detective in the police force working on the bank robbery case. Jeffrey gets a lead and discovers that Gabe is one of the people involved in the bank robbery. Gabe, still grieving over his brother, tries to stop the heist from happening by following Chris and Marcus around and telling Chris, but is stopped by both Michael and Jeffrey.

On the day of the heist, Marcus takes Chris to an abandoned housing project to meet an informant with information on their homicide case. As they walk around the building, Marcus slips away, and Luis comes in and tries to find Chris. Chris bumps into Gabe who tries to warn him that he is going to die. Luis then charges in and tries to shoot Chris but hits Gabe. As Luis runs away, Chris confronts a critically wounded Gabe. Before Gabe can say anything, Marcus comes in, triggering a shootout between the two. Gabe is killed, and Marcus is shot in the head. Fearing Marcus is dead, Chris makes the Triple 9 call. Thinking his nephew is the officer down, Jeffrey rushes to the scene. Meanwhile, Michael and Franco break into the DHS office and steal the information with little police disruption. Luis flees the projects and is later shot dead by SWAT after barricading himself in a nearby home.

In the aftermath, Marcus survives but is in critical condition. Michael meets with Irina and her henchmen for the exchange. He has a gift for his son to give to him upon their reunion. Irina gives him the money but does not bring Michael's son as she had promised to earlier. Michael and Irina were earlier revealed to have a family relationship: the mother of Michael's son is Irina's sister; nonetheless, Irina refers to Michael as a "monkey." After being beaten by her henchmen, Michael walks back to his car and triggers a bomb that was wired into his "gift," killing Irina and her thugs. As he drives away, Michael is pulled over by Franco, who kills him and steals the money. After investigating Luis's belongings at the morgue, Chris finds a note in Luis's wallet, which contained the location where Marcus took him the day of the shooting. Chris later finds out that Marcus met Luis the day of the shooting, letting him know where to kill Chris. Angered, Chris visits an unconscious Marcus to try to get answers but is interrupted by Franco, who invites Chris back to the station to get his account of the shooting. As the two head to the car, Chris receives a call from Jeffrey, who tells him that Franco has been cleaning house and that he might be next. Chris, clutching his holstered weapon, stops and tells Franco that he'll meet him at the station. Franco, realizing Chris has been tipped of his involvement, agrees to meet Chris there. As the two head out to their respective cars, Jeffrey is seen in the backseat of Franco's car, and they both shoot each other when Franco takes a seat in his car. Franco is killed, and Jeffrey is shot in the abdomen. As Chris makes a Triple 9 call, Jeffrey calmly pulls a joint and smokes it. Jeffrey's fate is left unknown.

Cast

Production

Development
The project was first announced in August 2010 with director John Hillcoat circling Matt Cook's crime drama script Triple Nine, set to star Shia LaBeouf, with Steve Golin attached to produce. Cook's script was included in Black List scripts of 2010. Hillcoat confirmed his direction of the film later in May 2012; the casting of LaBeouf and Nick Cave scoring the music for the film were also confirmed. Later, Cave left the project and Atticus Ross came on board to compose the score for the film. In February 2014 Open Road Films acquired the US distribution rights to the film and Worldview Entertainment came on board to finance the film after the exit of Panorama Media.

Casting
The film went through many casting changes. Shia LaBeouf was initially attached to star in the film but later left the project and was replaced by Charlie Hunnam. In December 2013, Hunnam also left the project and was replaced by Casey Affleck.

Casting completed in March 2014, as Aaron Paul, Norman Reedus, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie, Gal Gadot, Teresa Palmer, and Clifton Collins Jr. rounded out the cast.

Hillcoat talking about filming schedule said that, "It's a challenge, arranging everyone's schedules and trying to accomplish something with eight main characters. I've never worked on something quite like this."

Filming
Principal photography began on May 28, 2014 in Atlanta, Georgia. On June 5, filming took place at St. Regis in Buckhead, Atlanta, with Winslet.

On July 17, 2014, a scene was shot in Atlanta with real paramedics, SWAT officers and police officers along with the principal cast. Due to heavy rain, some scenes remained unfinished while shooting at Centennial Olympic Park, where filming again took place from August 5–6, 2014. After that, filming was wrapped.

Music
Atticus Ross composed the music for the film along with his wife Claudia Sarne, brother Leopold Ross and Bobby Krlic. Talking about the music of the film, Ross said that "he [Hillcoat] had a particular vision for the music on this movie which was very raw sounding electronics; with bizarrely a saxophone in there. With this film, it was difficult because we were trying to get the story right and one would write the music, but then the scenes would change around and it all becomes redundant. So it was quite a bit of work." A foreboding version of This Little Piggy was featured in the trailer of the film.

Release
On August 27, 2014, Open Road set the film for a nationwide release on September 11, 2015. But on June 10, 2015 it was announced the release date of the film has moved from September 11, 2015 to March 4, 2016. In October 2015, the release date was moved up to February 26, 2016.

Promotion
The first trailer for the film was released on October 5, 2015.

Home media
Triple 9 was released on DVD and Blu-ray on May 31, 2016.

Reception

Box office
Triple 9 grossed $12.6 million in North America, and $13.3 million in other territories, for a total gross of $25.9 million, against a production budget of $20 million.

In the United States and Canada, pre-release tracking suggested the film would gross $7–9 million from 2,205 theaters in its opening weekend, trailing fellow newcomer Gods of Egypt ($12–15 million projection) but similar to Eddie the Eagle. The film made $2.1 million on its first day and $6.1 million in its opening weekend, finishing 6th at the box office.

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 54% based on 187 reviews, with an average rating of 5.7/10. The site's consensus reads, "Triple 9s pulpy potboiler thrills don't quite live up to the ferocious talents of its cast, but the film's efficient, solidly crafted genre fun is often enough to balance its troublesome flaws." Metacritic gives the film a weighted average score of 52 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C+" on an A+ to F scale.

Tom Huddleston of Time Out gave Triple 9 four out of five stars, positively comparing the film to Michael Mann's Heat. Huddleston praised the ensemble cast and concluded that the film is "carried off with brashness and momentum by a director who genuinely seems to be having a blast." Variety's Justin Chang was less receptive towards the film's narrative, but applauded its action sequences and wrote that the "result is a film that conveys the eerie sense of lying in wait for all its characters, and the paranoia is infectious, with at least two scenes certain to have viewers checking their car backseats upon exiting the theater.

In a mixed review, Empire's Ian Freer gave Triple 9 three out of five stars. Freer praised the cast's performance, but criticized the film's screenplay and second half, surmising that "the interesting world of the film doesn't get the story it deserves." While praising Anthony Mackie's performance and Nicholas Karakatsanis's cinematography, Indiewires Oliver Lyttelton criticized the film's narrative structure as unsatisfying, suggesting that "perhaps there's a longer cut out there… perhaps that cut led to a film that felt like it was actually about something." Alonso Duralde of TheWrap also panned Triple 9, in particular, disapproving of the film's screenplay and third act. Duralde writes: "…[Triple 9] somehow managed to collect an impressively A-list cast on its way toward becoming a cop movie that's not just dumb, it's disastrous."

title: York Street, Sydney

text:
York Street  is a street in the Sydney central business district in New South Wales, Australia. York Street runs  in a north to south direction only and is used predominantly by buses from the northern districts of Sydney.

Route
From its northern terminus at the junction of Grosvenor Street with the Bradfield Highway, York Street runs south past Wynyard railway station, with major intersections at King and Market streets. The southern terminus of York Street is at Druitt Street, adjacent to the Sydney Town Hall and the Queen Victoria Building. Between Market Street and Druitt Street, traffic is restricted to buses, bicycles and service vehicles only.

The City Circle and North Shore railway lines run under York Street.

History
Named in 1810 by Governor Lachlan Macquarie after the Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, the second eldest child, and second son, of King George III, and brother of King William IV. It was originally known as Barracks Row as it began at the old Barracks parade ground. The southern end became home to many import and export companies, being attracted to the area by the markets established there in Macquarie's time. The northern end beyond Wynyard Square did not come into existence until 1848 when the land occupied by the Wynyard Barracks was resumed and subdivided. Half of this new section, along with Princes Street into which it ran, disappeared with the resumption of land for the Sydney Harbour Bridge approaches in The Rocks area. On 21 July 1997, a bus lane was introduced along the full length of York Street.

Points of interest

 Scots Presbyterian Church at 2 York, on the corner with Margaret Street, was founded in 1882. The current building dates from 1929.

title: Corruption in Tunisia

text:
Corruption in Tunisia is widely regarded amongst Tunisians to be in the top five issues facing the country today. Since the end of colonial rule, Tunisia has been marked by corrupt and authoritarian leaders. After the revolution of 2011 came numerous committees to tackle this issue. The Investigative Committee for Acts of Corruption and Bribery Committed Under the Former President was one such committee, however it failed to deal with the more widespread issues of corruption. State-owned companies and companies owned by influential families continue to enjoy a privileged position, while those at the bottom struggle with everyday necessities.

History of Corruption

Since the end of colonial rule, Tunisia had only two presidents until 2011. This early period of independence was marked by widespread corruption of the authoritarian rulers. The last leader before the revolution, Ben Ali, his family members, and his inner circle, all held considerably power over industries within the state. One of the primary goals of the Tunisian people and government in the past decade has been to address and rectify the consequences of past corruption, and create legislative bodies and policies to limit corruption going forward.

Corruption in the modern age
It is estimated that Tunisia lost more than US$1 billion per year between 2000 and 2008 due to corruption, bribery, kickbacks, trade mispricing and criminal activities.

The National Constituent Assembly developed an anti-corruption initiative in December 2012 which aims to establish a national integrity system, to promote the independent National Anti-Corruption Authority, and to boost civil society participation in corruption prevention. However, the government's effort is still considered limited. Corruption is still a serious problem yet it is less pervasive when compared to the neighboring countries.

The role of middlemen is very important for doing business in Tunisia, and many investors consider that having the right connections when collaborating on business in order to overcome administrative hurdles to investment and public procurement is crucial. State-owned companies or private groups owned by influential families continue to enjoy a privileged position, with close political and administrative ties and easier access to financing.

The new government of Tunisia has made efforts to deal with the legacy of corruption from past regimes. After the revolution of 2011 came the formation of numerous committees within the government. The Investigative Committee for Acts of Corruption and Bribery Committed Under the Former President was one such committee, determining the extent of corruption within numerous sectors of public and private institutions. This committee’s performance left many Tunisians dissatisfied. Of the numerous reports that were filed by citizens, only a small minority of them were dealt with, many of which focused on the president and his circle.

While corruption in Tunisia is widely regarded as pervasive, actions are being taken by the government in order to overcome this. Article 11 of the Tunisian constitution states that public officials are required to publicize their financial earnings. However, only 12% of the Tunisian parliament has done so. Article 32 of the constitution allows citizens to freely request information, and in 2016 a government department was created to facilitate this. This policy was not implemented perfectly, as Prime Minister Chahed stated civil servants must request permission from superiors before publicly discussing this information. The government has however passed an order for the protection of whistleblowers, allowing for increased transparency within the state.

The government’s efforts to reduce corruption have seen limited success. One of the steps taken by the government was the arrest of several high-profile individuals within Tunisia. However, these arrests have left many concerned with the prisoner’s treatment, and human rights violations are speculated to be occurring. The population of Tunisia has had mixed feelings over the extent and severity of corruption; although Tunisia has moved towards a more democratic government, this has made corruption more widespread, though less intense. What was once a small circle, centered around the autocratic President Ben Ali, has transformed into several smaller circles of corruption within the parliament, police, and many other government bodies. On March 20th of 2015, President Caid proposed a law that would limit the authority of the Truth and Dignity Body to address financial issue, and allow anonymity to those accused. The bill proved wildly unpopular, and due to pressure from social groups, The National Council of the Bar Association asked for it to be overturned. Many Tunisians have pointed out that the bill would grant amnesty to public employees and set a dangerous precedent of undermining the justice system.

Public Ranking and Polling
On Transparency International's 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index, Tunisia scored 40 on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean"). When ranked by score, Tunisia ranked 85th among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector.  For comparison, the best score was 90 (ranked 1), the worst score was 12 (ranked 180), and the average score was 43.

Corruption in Tunisia is often discussed in public and political circles of the region as being of the most prominent issues effecting the country today. In a series of polls conducted by the International Republican Institute, corruption consistently ranked highly among the issues facing Tunisia. 83% of those surveyed were disappointed with the progress of the country, with 26% of respondents stating they were unable to afford food and other necessities. 89% felt the economic situation was negative.

When asked what the largest issue of Tunisia was, corruption was among the top 5 results, even being present at the local level. Respondents were asked what issues were prominent within their own communities, and corruption of the government came up once again.

Addressing the steps needed to be taken by the government, many of those surveyed picked issues involving the economy and unemployment, as well as living standards. After this, the next highest result showed corruption and transparency, only ranking slightly lower. While corruption was not the most prominent issue according to those surveyed, it still was important. When questioned how the government of Tunisia should address these issues of unemployment and low standards of living, the number one answer given was reducing corruption in order to adequately fund government programs addressing these problems.

title: Donald Beves

text:
Donald Howard Beves (6 March 1896 – 6 July 1961) was an English academic whose subject was modern languages, and dean and later vice-provost of King's College, Cambridge.

Life
Beves was the son of Edward Leslie Beves, a prosperous Brighton timber merchant, and was educated at Windlesham House School, Rugby School, and King's College, Cambridge. He gained a classics scholarship to King's in December 1914 but postponed his further education to serve with the Rifle Brigade during World War I. By 1919 he was a captain commanding the drill unit of the Central School of Instruction at Berkhamsted. That same year he took up his place at King's, where he graduated in 1922 with a First in the Classical Tripos and a Second in modern languages.

He became a clerk at the House of Commons, but after writing a thesis on the Holy Grail he was given a Fellowship of King's. In 1926 he was appointed as dean of the college and in 1946 as vice-provost. At his death in 1961, The Times said of him "although he wrote little, he delivered ... important lectures on sixteenth-century French literature". He was also chairman of the governing body of Trent College in Derbyshire.

Beves had considerable private means. He entertained lavishly and was one of the few fellows at Cambridge to drive a Rolls-Royce. He also produced many plays at Cambridge.

In June 1977, Peter Hennessy accused Beves of being the "fourth man" in the affair of Philby, Burgess, and Maclean. However, Geoffrey Grigson and others immediately leapt to the defence of Beves, considering him to be uninterested in politics. It later transpired that the role Hennessy suggested for Beves was that of Anthony Blunt.

title: The Chess Player

text:
The Chess Player () is a 1927 French silent film directed by Raymond Bernard and based on a novel by Henry Dupuy-Mazuel.  It is a historical drama set in the late 18th century during the Russian domination of Polish Lithuania, and elements of the plot are drawn from the story of the chess-playing automaton known as The Turk.

Plot
In 1776, a young Polish patriot, Boleslas Vorowski, is wounded in an abortive uprising against the Russian forces in Vilnius. A  reward for his capture is offered but he is sheltered by Baron von Kempelen, an inventor of lifelike automata, who plans to smuggle Vorowski, a skilful chess-player, to Germany concealed inside a chess-playing automaton called The Turk. Major Nicolaïeff, a Russian rival of Vorowski, challenges The Turk to a game and is defeated, but he realises that the machine is being secretly operated by Vorowski. He arranges for The Turk to be sent to Moscow to entertain the Empress Catherine II. When The Turk refuses to allow Catherine to cheat, the Empress orders that the automaton is to be executed by firing squad at dawn.  During a masked ball, von Kempelen replaces Vorowski inside The Turk, to enable him to escape with his lover Sophie. Nicolaïeff, who has been sent to search von Kempelen's house, is slain by the inventor's sabre-wielding automata.

Production
The Chess Player was the second film which Raymond Bernard made for the Société des Films Historiques, although on this occasion its subject matter of the Polish struggle for independence from Russia did not correspond with the company's avowed devotion to French history.  Some scenes were filmed on location in Poland with the assistance of the Polish army (notably the Vilno insurrection and the large-scale cavalry charge). For many of the other spectacular locations, 35 sets were created at the Joinville Studios by Robert Mallet-Stevens and Jean Perrier; the most spectacular was the facade and courtyard of the Winter Palace, which covered some 5000 square metres of land beside the studio. Additional special effects were provided by the British film designer W. Percy Day. Filming began on 15 March 1926 and was completed on 31 October, leaving Bernard only two months for its post-production before the premiere in January 1927.  An orchestral score was written for the film by Henri Rabaud.

The gala premiere at the Marivaux cinema in Paris was a huge success and the film went on to have a first run of three months at that cinema before its general release in the summer of 1927.   Audiences were particularly impressed by the spectacular cavalry charge imagined by Sophie as she sings the Polish hymn of independence. The press reception in France was generally enthusiastic . The film was released in the UK in early 1928, and in the US in 1930 (where however the reviewer for The New York Times was unimpressed).

A restoration of the film was undertaken in the 1980s, led by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill. In the absence of any definitive negative or print, it required the collaboration of several European film archives from which material in several variant copies was collated; sources in an East German archive and the Cinémathèque Municipale in Luxembourg provided the most complete material. The finished tinted print received its first screenings in London in December 1990, with Henri Rabaud's original score conducted by Carl Davis.

title: Alan Poza

text:
Alan Poza is a 2013 Nigerian romantic comedy film written, produced and directed by Charles Novia and starring OC Ukeje as Alan Poza. It received 2 nominations at the 9th Africa Movie Academy Awards. OC Ukeje also won a Best Of Nollywood Awards for his leading role as Alan Poza.

The plot follows Alan Poza (Ukeje), music executive label play boy, who schemes his way into the hearts of several women within and outside the media company he works for, in a bid to lure them into his bed. His  various emotional escapades eventually lead him to trouble as one of his 'victims' is unable to handle the heartbreak he has caused her.

Plot
Alan Poza (OC Ukeje) is a rich, young music label executive who is extremely narcissistic and boasts that he can get any lady he wants eating out of his hands in approximately "3 seconds". He refers to himself as a 'sharp-shooter'   and the 'rave' amongst ladies.

Alan has a snazzy job in Scorpio Media, a top media company; and is convinced that he will be promoted to 'Vice-President'. His friend and partner-in-crime; 'Kokori Oshare' (Okey Uzoeshi) works in the same media house and is equally as 'notorious' as Alan. They share tales of their 'playboy' escapades and tend to 'help' each other out with conquering their 'victims'; women who are unaware of their riotous acts. Alan and Kokori inadvertently leave behind a trail of 'angry' women who want to see them punished for their sins.

In its bid to further penetrate the entertainment industry, Scorpio Media is split into 'Scorpio Movies' and 'Scorpio `Records', Kokori is made Vice-President of Scorpio Movies while new joiner; Pride (Beverley Naya) is appointed as the Vice-President of Scorpio Records. Alan is advised that her appointment is due to a wealth of experience within the industry and is made Pride's deputy. He is extremely embarrassed by this unexpected turn of events and vows to lure Pride into his bed and break her heart, so that he can become her boss technically and emotionally.

He is particularly angry that the Managing Director of the firm has strung him on for weeks. Kokori tells Alan that the reason he was sidetracked was because he had slept with Bunmi (Belinda Effah), who was also the Managing Directors' (Norbert Young) girlfriend.

Alan proceeds to charm Pride but she constantly refutes his efforts having heard that his nickname is 'Corporate Casanova as well as of his 'vile' reputation with women, but Alan remains persistent.

Pride eventually agrees to go on a date with Alan after he signs a 'known' artist and ends up sleeping with him after 'one too many' drinks. She claims that their relationship is 'strictly business' and leaves the next morning without saying a word. Alan remains persistent in his pursuit and Pride finally gives in after making Alan sit through a 'torturous' evening 'daddy-sitting' her senile father and an extremely embarrassing counselling forum for sex addiction. At the counselling session Alan admits to being cheated on by his first love, blaming his current attitude to women on that experience. Pride tells him explicitly that she is a 'dangerous woman when in love''' pleading with him not to hurt her.

Totally unplanned, Alan notices his secretary; Ina (Kemi Lala Akindoju); and falls in love with her. Ina is your typical 'good girl', extremely simple and caring. Pride finds out Alan is cheating on her when she walks into his office and sees him kissing Ina. She is hurt and enraged. Alan starts to receive threatening messages and Pride remains extremely upset with him.

One evening after work Alan, Kokori and Ina have plans to go out. Ina goes into the ladies toilet and does not come out, she has been kidnapped. Stood outside the ladies' toilet waiting for her, Alan receives a message from Pride telling him where Ina is being held. On getting there he finds Bunmi, threatening to kill Ina, knife in hand, she wants to see Alan hurt and decides the best way to achieve this is to kill Ina, the love of his life. It turns out that Bunmi was the one sending Alan threatening messages all along. She was one of his 'victims' and the relationship had ended badly. The police, led by Pride, rescue Alan and Ina and arrest Bunmi. Bunmi had stolen Pride's phone and sent Alan the message luring him to where Ina was being held. Alan promises to change his attitude to women completely after this ordeal.

Six months later; the movie ends with Kokori marrying singer, Kiki, who Alan and Pride 'discovered' on their first date and signed up to Scorpio Records. Alan becomes a 'reformed casanova, him and Ina are still together and are looking forward to a fantastic future. He may get married some day.

Reception
Critical reception
The film received mostly negative reviews from critics, especially as regards the script and storytelling. Nollywood Reinvented gave the film a 24% rating and wrote "For a comedy, Alan Poza is very unfunny. As a romance flick, it is very confusing. And for a drama, it is very chaotic. In the end O.C still didn’t come off to me as the player type. I was not certain how the heck anything happened." Sodas and Popcorn gave it a 3 out of 5 rating and wrote "The acting was my favorite bit of the whole movie, It pretty much beat the script. All the acts most notably OC Ukeje did justice to their roles. Together as an entire team, the chemistry wasn’t perfect but it was enjoyable and their characters were hilarious."

AccoladesAlan Poza'' received 2 Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) nominations and OC Ukeje, who play the character "Alan Poza" won a Best of Nollywood Award (BON ).
