A new A24 movie with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score is coming to streaming this week

In cinephile circles, A24 has become a symbol of quality for a certain kind of movie: edgy, thought-provoking, stylistically bold, yet still broadly accessible. Think Ex Machina, Hereditary, Moonlight and Everything Everywhere All At Once. The studio and film distributor has grown ubiquitous enough to attract some mockery from some corners of the movie world, but it's hard to argue with the success rate. Its run has continued with more recent critical and commercial hits like The Brutalist, Materialists and Friendship. Now, one of the most acclaimed A24 films of the last few months is hitting streaming – and it might be one you haven't even heard of. On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, by director Rungano Nyoni, is a surreal dark comedy set in the filmmaker's home country of Zambia. One night, a woman named Shula (Susan Chardy) comes across a dead body on the side of the road: her uncle's. As funeral preparations commence, the narrative flashes back and forth, revealing the dark secrets of Shula's middle-class family. The film – Nyoni's second, after 2017's I Am Not a Witch – currently holds a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score and an 87 rating on Metacritic. Time Out's own review describes the movie as 'thought-provoking' and 'visually arresting'. It's available to stream on HBO Max starting this Friday, July 4. Two more widely seen, if less lauded, A24 releases are also premiering on HBO Max this month. Opus, starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich, arrives July 11. The thriller follows a young journalist (Edebiri) who's invited to a listening party for the new album from an enigmatic pop star turned possible cult leader (Malkovich). Later in the month comes Death of a Unicorn, a horror satire in which a father and daughter (Jason Bateman and Jenna Ortega) accidentally strike and kill the titular mythical beast with their car, incurring the wrath of its parents. The movie hits the streamer on July 25.

This iconic Paris museum has just reopened after a mammoth restoration project

Paris's art scene is pretty incomparable – it's the main reason we picked the French capital as Time Out's best city in the world for culture this year. And, excitingly, it just got bigger and better, as a blockbuster gallery space has just reopened. The Grand Palais has been under restoration for the last four years, but now the mega €466 million project led by Chatillon Architectes is finally finished, and its doors have officially reopened. Originally designed for the Universal Exhibition in 1900 by French architects Henri Deglane, Albert Louvet and Albert Thomas, the Grand Palais represented a blend of Beaux-Arts style and the use of glass and steel (considered modern materials at the time). In the '60s architect Pierre Vivien led the revamp of the building's northern wing, which was damaged during the Second World War, but the Chatillon upgrade is the most comprehensive in the building's history. So, what's new? Well, the central nave and its surrounding galleries have been granted a new lease of life. They've been reconfigured to accommodate the technical requirements of contemporary exhibitions – until 2030, the Grand Palais will house works from the Centre Pompidou, which closed this year for its own overhaul. Recommended: The best art galleries in Paris, picked by a local. The central axis of the Grand Palais from Square Jean Perrin to the Seine has been redone to create a huge public gathering space, and more than 40 lifts and 30 staircases have improved the building's accessibility. Alongside its symbolic role as a pioneering example of institutional adaptability, the Grand Palais will offer a broader programme of cultural events beyond traditional exhibitions, including art fairs, public installations and fashion shows. 'The Grand Palais is no longer an isolated monument; it forms part of a broader cultural context.' said François Chatillon, the lead architect on the project, according to The Art Newspaper. There's a new pedestrian entrance, and brasseries by chefs Thierry Marx and Loulou. But it's not just the building's interior that's been given some TLC. 60,000 new plants have been incorporated into the re-landscaped gardens, which also now boast rainwater harvesting to support its irrigation.
