THE CHAT

DECKED OUT ... Designer Alyshia Morris

Poolside perfection A brush with skin cancer prompted this Brisbane mum to create stylish swimwear that also protects

A

lyshia Morris loves living in the Sunshine State, but after a melanoma scare she decided to get serious (and stylish) about sun safety.

As a lover of the outdoors and a mother to three active kids, she was determined to find a swimsuit that was not only sun safe, but also “stylish and supportive” – catering to the change in her body shape after having children.

When she couldn’t find anything that ticked these boxes, Alyshia decided to create her own.

“I started Shade Swim with the vision that I wanted all women to love and embrace their body shape, while being sun safe,” she tells Brisbane News.

Alyshia was diagnosed with two stage 1 melanomas in 2013 – which played a major factor in her decision to launch Shade Swim.

“At 32, and with two babies at the time, I was given the fright of my life.

Fortunately, they were successfully removed and I was extremely lucky.

“I want women to realise that they can still look stylish while being sun safe, lead by example and show younger generations that they too can be sun safe, as well as the

V1 - BNSE01Z01MA

importance of self love in our everyday, busy lives.”

Since launching the label last year with one classic style, which has been embraced by women Australia-wide from sizes 8-18 (with size 20 coming next season), Shade Swim’s new Endless Summer collection features a range of flattering and fashionforward sleeve lengths, colours and handdesigned prints from Brisbane textile designer Britt La Spina.

“Launching a business, growing it and keeping on trend is always a daunting task, but working with a range of supportive and inspiring women has been a joy and I feel

that Shade Swim is constantly evolving.”

The 38-year-old likes to practise what she preaches and keeps it local when she can. “I’m passionate about supporting local businesses and work with a local manufacturer, who makes all the swimsuits here in Brisbane.

“I have a Brisbane-based PR and marketing team, I use Gold Coast and Brisbane-based models and photographers, and love working with other small, creative businesses, like Britt La Spina.

“Britt’s designs are fun, yet sophisticated. It was great collaborating with her to create the timeless Leopard and

the feminine Rosita print.”

The new collection (pictured above, priced $209-$229) aims to make women feel confident in swimwear, whether they’re at the beach, by the pool or heading to brunch after a surf.

The swimsuits feature UPF 50+ sustainable Italian Vita Luxe fabric and innovative Smooth Firm Tighten (SFT) technology to flatter figures.

“Shade Swim is about loving the skin you’re in,” Alyshia says.

Inspired Italian Dario Milano goes back to his roots to create traditional dishes that pull at the heart strings Belinda Seeney

D

ario Milano left Italy in 2004 in search of one thing.

“Adventure. In the beginning, I was looking for adventure,” Dario says as he sips his espresso.

“Australia seemed like a very exciting place, a young country so far from Italy.”

While the lure of adventure drew him abroad, it was love, family and food that conspired to keep him in Australia.

The talented chef, 47, is sitting in the front room of a converted cottage that houses CJ’s Pasta, a Brisbane institution saved by Claire Parviz in 2018 when its original home was resumed for expansions to West End State School.

Claire, who also owns The Spaghetti House Trattoria at South Bank and sourced her fresh pasta from CJ’s, bought the business and relocated its commercial kitchen, wholesale arm and retail operations to its quaint new Hoogley St home.

Dario is executive chef across both ventures as well as the intimate, 14-seat CJ’s Secret Pasta Club restaurant that pops up in the shopfront six nights a week.

His Chef’s Choice menu runs to a handful of dishes using the day’s freshest ingredients and changes regularly.

Many recipes, such as the ones featured here, come from his personal collection, and are influenced by his home of Piedmont in Italy’s northwest.

“Vitello tonnato is a classic dish. It’s a cold entree of thinly sliced veal with a tuna and caper sauce. Some people add mayonnaise to the sauce but that’s not authentic, it’s not how it’s done in Piedmont,” the father-of-three says.

“Another traditional dish I might do is agnolotti del plin. It’s very small, filled pasta stuffed with three meats – veal, pork and rabbit – and ‘plin’ means ‘pinch’ which is how you seal the pasta. It’s so full of flavour you only need to serve it with something simple, like a jus.

ON A ROLL ... Chef Dario Milano goes to work in the kitchen at CJ’s Pasta in West End. Pictures: Miranda Porter

People are moving on but they are taking their traditions and their food with them

“I’m a classically trained chef and the stuff I make now – the handmade, small production of pasta – is the sort of stuff the grandmas used to make back home.

“The world is changing and people are moving on but they are taking their traditions and their food with them.”

For someone who speaks so passionately about traditions, it’s perhaps surprising to learn Dario’s appreciation for authentic Italian fare was not forged in his own kitchens.

He reveals his father, a tax accountant, ate the same meal of pasta pomodoro (pasta with a simple tomato sauce) almost every day.

“For me, I didn’t want to study and follow in my father’s footsteps so I fell into hospitality because that’s what you do when you’re not sure,” he says.

“But I discovered a passion for it.”

Learning his trade in big hotels in Italy, Dario further sharpened his skills in Australia, working in kitchens from

Sydney to Hayman Island. He took a seven-year break to pursue a passion for food photography and styling but “missed the craziness” of the kitchen so returned.

Wife Thuy is credited for the couple relocating to Brisbane last year with their three children: Monica, 10, Marco, 9, and Matteo, three-and-a-half.

“Thuy has a huge family here so it made sense to move and it was a very good decision,” Dario says.

“Claire’s vision for The Spaghetti House and CJ’s interested me. “She’s an ambitious woman with business smarts and some really good plans and opportunities to grow.

“Personally, I’d like to get back into food photography in addition to cooking – for me the two things go hand-in-hand and make me feel really, fully happy as a creative person.” cjspasta.com.au spaghettihouse.com.au

COVER STORY

AGNOLOTTI DEL PLIN WITH BURNT BUTTER AND SAGE An iconic dish from Piedmont in Italy, agnolotti del plin gets its name from the regional dialect for “pinch�, which is how you make the pasta. To form each agnolotto, you pinch two sheets of pasta together. The filling is made from equal amounts of pork, chicken and rabbit for depth of flavour.

300g carrot 250g veal blade 200g pork loin 200g rabbit thighs Salt and pepper, to season 300ml vegetable broth 1 egg 15g Parmigiano cheese, grated 2tbs extra virgin olive oil

Sauce INGREDIENTS Pasta dough 650g 00 flour 350g durum wheat flour/semolina 10 eggs

Filling 30g endive leaves 30g spinach leaves 1tbs extra virgin olive oil 100g celery 150g onion

150g butter 10g fresh sage

METHOD Combine flour and eggs to make pasta dough and set aside to rest for a minimum 30 mins. Sautee the endive and spinach with a little olive oil, drain, allow to cool, then finely chop. Dice celery, onion and carrot and set aside.

In a large pot, brown all the meats in olive oil then add the vegetables, salt, pepper, a ladle of stock and cover with the lid. Cook on a medium heat for approx 45 mins.

When the meats are cooked, separate from the rest of the ingredients and set aside to chill.

Discard any bones, cut the meat into pieces and put it in a food processor with the endive, spinach, egg and cheese.

Process until you get a rich, firm but smooth filling. Transfer the mix into a pastry bag.

Roll out a piece of dough until it becomes very thin and on the strip, place hazelnut-sized balls of filling, placed at equal distance between one another. Fold the pasta on itself and pinch with your fingers to close every little ball, then use a pastry cutter to divide into single agnolotto. To make the burnt butter and sage, melt butter on a low heat, then add sage leaves. Cook until butter is golden in colour, and the sage becomes crispy. Cook the agnolotti in a pot of boiling, salted water for about 4 mins. Drain, while reserving some of the water. Add agnolotti to the melted butter and sage. Add 1-2tbs of the boiling water to emulsify the sauce, and serve. Garnish with fried sage. Serves 10 as a starter or 6 as a main.

paste to 90C. Pour over the chocolate and whisk until chocolate completely melts.

Add butter by blending with a stick blender until smooth.

Set aside to rest for a few hours and use at room temperature.

For the whipped vanilla ganache, bring the cream and vanilla paste to the boil, then pour over the white chocolate and gelatine and whisk until completely melted.

Set aside for a few hours, until cool, then whip either by hand or with an electric whisk until soft peaks form.

Next, sift icing sugar onto both sides of the puff pastry.

Place on a lined baking tray, cover with baking paper and top with another baking tray. Bake between the two trays at 160C for 15 mins.

Allow to cool and then cut into rectangles measuring 6 cm x 4 cm.

To assemble, place one rectangle of pastry on a dessert plate, pipe chocolate ganache on top, then “sandwich� with another rectangle of pastry, pipe whipped vanilla ganache on top of it and decorate with berries, edible flowers and chocolate shavings.

Serves 6

Add to the meat, together with capers, anchovies and herbs. Add half the white wine, let the alcohol evaporate, then add the stock and transfer to the oven.

Cook until the centre of the girello reaches a temperature of 55C, checking regularly with a thermometer. It will take about 20 to 30 mins depending on the size of the girello. During this time add the rest of the white wine to the roast. You can add more stock if needed.

Once cooked, separate the meat from the other ingredients and set aside to cool completely, preferably on a wire rack.

Discard the garlic and herb stems and blend the vegetables, capers, anchovies and cooking juices with the tuna, emulsifying with the rest of the olive oil until you get a smooth, creamy sauce.

The xanthan gum acts as a thickener and emulsifying agent, and can be added at the end.

Serve the meat at room temperature, thinly sliced, on top of the sauce.

Garnish with baby capers or caper berries and soft boiled quail eggs.

Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with a few sea salt flakes and cracked pepper.

LIFE

Alicia Pyke My thoughtless actions have hurt someone I adore, someone who has always been there for me. Realising this is as ghastly as it sounds As a friend, my latest report card would include a sprinkling of As, a couple of solid Bs, and one very worrying D. It’s not easy to admit when you’ve been a lousy friend. But here I am.

My thoughtless actions have hurt someone I adore, someone who has always been there for me. Realising this is as ghastly as it sounds.

Even worse, I’m still working out how to make amends. Fixing a stalled friendship that otherwise thrived for more than 15 years comes with great responsibility.

So naturally I’m paralysed about what to do next.

My major misstep stems from not reaching out to this dear friend when I first returned to Brisbane. I’ve been living a very quiet life, you see. A life entirely at odds with the highly social, party girl style of who I was when we used to depend most on each other.

That’s no excuse, of course. We could have had breakfast or coffee a dozen times by now. But in my mind, I needed to focus solely on work and study. Fun was for other people – yes, going back to university has turned me into an epic nerd.

It’s also made me realise what an advantage I have when it comes to making

new friends. As a journalist, being able to connect quickly and develop trust with someone you’ve just met is a daily occurrence. It’s understanding how to keep friendships alive and flourishing that comes less naturally to me.

When I did send the dear friend I’ve wronged a very overdue message to say hi, I realised it had been years since we’d talked this way.

Social media comments aside, we’d been accidentally incommunicado. And that’s far from ideal when you suddenly realise you have an overdue apology to make for being an anti-social recluse.

Sometimes we’re actually better friends to people we hardly know than those we love. An acquaintance recently mentioned how much she’d appreciated the card I’d sent when her dad died and I was instantly wracked with guilt for all the cards I hadn’t sent to closer friends during their own times of grief.

So, it’s time to raise my grades – I’m in a studious life phase after all. Turning that D into an A will take effort but it isn’t impossible. It starts with picking up the phone and making a time to apologise in person.

Wish me luck.

FOOD + DRINK

Mix and match Suprising culinary pairings at this Pottsville eatery eschew red meat but not flavour RESTAURANT Tony Harper If there’s a predictable element to Ben Devlin’s career as a cook, it’s the fact that he doesn’t remain still. He reinvents. He is unpredictable ... predictably so. And he is also predictably clever.

His latest kitchen – and the first that’s actually his own – is Pipit. It’s a fresh, gorgeously kitted, unpretentious bistro in Pottsville, with its lovely mix of coastal beauty, more than a whiff of hippie, and cultural awareness that seems endemic to that stretch of the Northern Rivers, NSW. And Pipit plays the coastal card convincingly.

There’s a missive on the Pipit menu that talks about its focus on the stuff of the region – vegetables, seafood and poultry – and an avoidance of red meat. The logic of red meat-out, poultry-in kind of escapes me, unless it’s on tree-clearing, environmental grounds.

But I’m not fully in touch with all things hipster. Which doesn’t deter me from jumping at the Pipit menu.

It has all sorts of vegetable intrigue – smoked squash, peanuts, shiitake; glazed pumpkin with persimmon and basil; celeriac baked in fig leaves, grain porridge, almond and chrysanthemum ... crikey.

And it has these weirdly good amalgams of plant and sea-creature, like sugar loaf cabbage – singed over coals, and coals are a big part of the Pipit puzzle – with sand crab (and that’s a simplistic explanation, $30) which has this interplay

COASTAL FLAVOURS ...

Pipit chef Ben Devlin pairs seafood with garden produce; the restaurant’s relaxed interior.

of textures (crunch, silkiness, some liquid) and flavours (bitter, sweet, saline, vegetative).

It’s as thought-provoking as it is delicious, but my rather Neanderthal genes want more crab, less cabbage. A glass of Equipo Navazos Manzanilla ($14) is a brilliant partner in a dry, tangy and – for manzanilla – full-bodied, umami-rich kind of way.

Beforehand we are given some incredibly good sourdough with a couple of butters, one curd-like, one smoked, and a bowl of raw things – zucchini, baby carrot, turnip, kohlrabi, and something else – daikon perhaps? – with a bowl of earthy dipping sauce.

I’m already feeling 10 years younger, way healthier and 2kg lighter. My kids wash it down with juice, made in-house from chargrilled apples. It’s pretty special.

There’s a main of mahi-mahi, four solid fillets, with lightly grilled fennel, cherry tomatoes, puddles of liquid and

a scattering of herbs. It’s a big dish (great for $40, too much for me), and delightfully rare. And like everything else, it’s quite elemental in terms of flavour and ingredients. Spatchcock ($32) is just as clever albeit a little more rustic, with cauliflower, garlic and spuds.

And albacore and corn bread ($26) is a clever, alchemical dish that I won’t even attempt to deconstruct.

Pipit is far, far away from the sort of feet-on-the-ground, steak, fish and pasta restaurant that you’d expect in a small town like Pottsville. And it’s five steps removed from what Ben Devlin was punching out at Paper Daisy at Cabarita Beach and Brisbane’s Esquire – less laboratory, more market garden.

In fact it’s five steps removed from anything I’ve quite encountered before, and most of it I love ... the rest still has me pondering.

And that, I reckon, is exactly what Ben Devlin wants.

OUT TO LUNCH ...

Black Hide knife ambassador Sam Thaiday; Black Hide’s famous tomahawk steak; the prized steak knife (main).

A rare privilege Meat lovers are discovering the delights of a fine dining club devoted to prime beef Leesa Maher It’s the culinary club that many a redblooded carnivore is itching to join. But here’s the rub: no amount of money or influence can buy you a Black Hide Knife Ambassadorship.

Admittance to this select group – housed within Black Hide by Gambaro restaurants in Caxton St and Treasury Brisbane – rests on your proven devotion to prime Aussie beef, specifically, the organic cuts prepared

by Black Hide chefs.

Steak is the specialty at these fine dining establishments, owned by Brisbane’s Gambaro family, so it makes sense that members of the tribe are presented with a steak knife, engraved with their name, by The Gambaro Group managing director John Gambaro.

And this is no ordinary steak knife. Each one is handmade by West Australian craftsman David Brodziak from Sandvik razor steel and native timbers such as red mallee burl and banksia.

The knife is brought out for members at each visit and spends the rest of its time in a posh backlit display cabinet – where other diners can duly admire it.

“We love to celebrate and reward our guests; without them we wouldn’t be able to do what we love,” says John Gambaro. “The

Black Hide Knife Ambassadorship came about from thinking of ways we could give back to our customers and this seemed the most fitting way to reward their loyalty and keep building our relationship with them.”

While the club is open to all diners, approval (the nod comes from Gambaro himself) hinges on how often you dine, and your level of support for The Gambaro Group’s calendar of charity events.

“There’s always a lot of interest among our customers in becoming a Black Hide Knife Ambassador, so it’s an aspirational achievement to become one,” John says.

Founded in 2013, the club has close to 150 members, many of them high-profile Queenslanders such as beach volleyball star and Olympic gold medallist Natalie Cook, Icon Group co-founder Cathie Reid, and league legends Darren Lockyer and Sam Thaiday.

Thaiday says it’s a privilege to be a knife ambassador.

“Every red blooded man loves the feel of a nice sturdy, steak knife in their hands. If it was tested in a lab it would be wind and water resistant! (Like) me in my footy days, it carves it up.”

The retired footballer says he never lets the knife out of his clutches while dining at Black Hide, though he does let wife Rachel use it from time to time.

And his standard order? Black Hide’s 1200g Angus tomahawk, a cut Courier- Mail restaurant reviewer Des Houghton says “knocks wagyu off its perch”.

“I love to share the tomahawk steak because I think sharing a meal is ‘love’,” Thaiday says. treasurybrisbane.com.au/casino-restaurants/ black-hide; blackhidesteakhouse.com.au/

oanna Murray-Smith feels like she’s at the bottom of Everest, looking up.

It’s her first time directing and the playwright is still finding her feet when it comes to creating “all the movements and gestures involved in telling the story”.

Fortunately, L’Appartement is a play she’s extremely familiar with, given she wrote it, and in staging the Queensland Theatre production, she has surrounded

herself with a team of great people. “Being in charge of it all is such a different feeling,” she says. “I’m so used to sitting quietly thinking about just one element. There is so much pressure to create something authentic for the audience and it’s overwhelming for me on so many levels.

“I’m lucky the people I’m working with are all first-class. The cast is tremendously collaborative and it’s a very positive production company. It definitely feels like

Joanna, also a successful screenwriter, novelist and newspaper columnist, says couples will definitely relate to the issues they face.

“They have suffered so much together and survived a lot of lows as well as a lot of highs, and they start to think, ‘Who would I be if I’d made other choices?’ ” she says.

“Would I be a different person? What trajectory would my life have gone down had I chosen to be with someone else and ended up with that person instead?

“What comes through loud and clear in this play is that humans are torn between needing nurture and comfort, and longterm love and security, and the little niggle of wanting independence.”

Joanna says the “whiteness and coolness” of the French apartment sits in stark contrast to the couple’s messy lives with their twins and it forces Meg and Rooster, against their will, to seek clarity on their relationship.

“It’s a bit of a wake-up call for them in what was supposed to be a romantic weekend away, but by the end of it they both actually get what they wanted.

The Melbourne mum-of-three admits to drawing on experiences from her own marriage for the plot.

“There are moments in the play which resonate with me. She’s agitating for a conversation and he’s all for a quiet life and sees her as trying to complicate things.

“I’ve definitely had experience with that.”

ART

Vision splendid Known for his majestic landscapes and quirky self-portraits, William Robinson now draws inspiration closer to home Phil Brown

W

henever I write about the art of William Robinson I use the word master. And I mean it.

But viewing the latest exhibition at the William Robinson Gallery it dawned on me again that the artist, Bill to his friends, really is a master in so many ways. I guess I have kind of got used to his work but this time around I felt I was looking at it anew and what an experience that was.

His unique view of the landscape was driven home to me in a number of works that display his disregard for the rules.

In works such as The Crack of Dawn, we see the landscape as if we are hovering V1 - BNSE01Z01MA

above it with the vision splendid laid before us in a jaunty, vertiginous manner.

In one of his larger seascapes, the sea and the land almost seem to fuse and horizons appear malleable, adding to the drama and the majesty of what we are seeing.

This latest show is called William Robinson: Elixir of Light. It was curated by a former student of Bill’s, the artist Maureen Hansen. Maureen has had the run of the museum’s considerable collection of more than 300 works and she has curated a show that brings together oils, pastels, lithographs, watercolours and

gouaches. There is a lovely balance between landscapes, still life works and interiors. Those interiors are sometimes overlooked but they are really quite exquisite. In them the ordinary is heightened to become extraordinary.

In some works Bill and wife Shirley appear as wistful characters. Bill’s appearances make me think of Hitchcock cameos and I hope he doesn’t mind me pointing out that there is a vague resemblance.

In Bedroom with woman putting on lipstick , a gouache and pastel work dating back to 1977, the details of domestic life – a couple getting ready to go out – are lovingly rendered.

And while Bill has found inspiration in the great outdoors (the Robinsons have lived on several farms and he has painted the vast forests of Southeast Queensland like nobody else), he is also interested in what is close at hand.

Now more so than ever.

That’s evident in his masterpiece, The Garden, painted in 2013, an expansive mural-sized work depicting his garden at

MYSTICAL MASTERY ...

William Robinson (clockwise from above) and his works Crack of Dawn 1988; Interior, Birkdale 1976; and The Garden.

home in Brisbane’s leafy inner west.

“I’ve always found inspiration close to home,” Bill says.

“Now that I am 83 and I can’t drive all around the countryside, the garden is more important to me than ever.”

In all his works the treatment of light is paramount. Maureen Hansen describes him as an “alchemist” and that sounds about right and there is a mystical element to his oeuvre. And that makes it all the more fascinating.

WILD AT HEART ...

Young Simba (voiced by JD McCrary), young Nala (Shahadi Wright Joseph) and Zazu (John Oliver).

Hear me roar Simba’s saga returns to the big screen in a sweet, star-studded remake THE LION KING (PG) hhhhj Director Jon Favreau Starring Donald Glover, Beyonce Knowles-Carter, Chiwetel Ejiofor While the cats at the top of the food chain are distracted by a brutal power struggle, a slacker warthog and a mouthy meerkat steal this photorealistic remake of Disney’s animated 1994 classic.

Sweet, funny, mutually supportive – Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) and Timon (Billy Eichner) elevate friendship and fart humour to a whole other level.

Their winning bromance locates a sweet spot somewhere between artlessness and self-awareness – perhaps best captured by a throwaway quip, during the showstopper

Hakuna Matata, in which the pair acknowledge that Simba has grown 500lb during the course of the song.

This idyllic sequence, in which the boy-cub transitions to young adulthood, also neatly integrates the moment in which Simba begins to find his mature voice – by letting Donald Glover loose in the final refrain.

Shortly afterwards, Simba is serendipitously reunited with the now fully-grown Nala (Beyonce KnowlesCarter) for a romantic duet – and their version of Can You Feel the Love Tonight is a cracker.

As he did in his game-changing remake of The Jungle Book, director Jon Favreau succeeds in contemporising The Lion King while remaining faithful to the tone of the

original film – in which a cub-prince runs away from his pride after being convinced by his Machiavellian uncle that he is responsible for the death of his father.

There’s a visceral new energy to the sequences that have been recreated, pretty much shot-by-shot, from the original film and a topical emphasis on the subject of environmental degradation.

After Scar (voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor with Shakespearean relish) seizes the throne, the once-abundant Pridelands swiftly become a wasteland.

Simba’s dad, Mufasa (James Earl Jones), was a wise and compassionate leader who hunted with restraint – this is reflected in the animation; though strong and powerful, his ribs are clearly delineated (Mufasa is no fat cat).

His gaunt, selfish, power-crazed brother, on the other hand, has no investment in the wellbeing of future generations, and as his army of hyena henchmen shamelessly admit, their bellies are never full.

Part visual effects safari, part nature documentary, this film by Favreau and his team features full use of technological advances to deliver an eye-popping, hyperreal impression of the African savanna and its exotic ecosystem.

Giraffes lope past lonely acacias, mystic mandrills dwell in ancient baobab trees and dung beetles are as lovingly realised (in extreme close-up) as the flamboyant pink flamingoes.

Long ago, Disney turned anthropomorphism into an art form. The Lion King future-proofs the studio’s crown.

FILM

DIEGO MARADONA (M) hhhhk Director Asif Kapadia Starring Diego Maradona, Maria Rosa Maradona, Fernando Signorini You don’t need to know much about soccer to be captivated by the story of Diego Maradona (right), as it is recounted, here, by documentary maker Asif Kapadia (Amy, Senna).

But aficionados will appreciate the finer points of the Argentinian striker’s on-field performance in the face of relentless, targeted attacks from opposition players.

And Kapadia has uncovered a wealth of never-before-seen footage of the soccer megastar in action (the director had access to more than 500 hours of tapes from his subject’s archive plus home videos supplied by his ex-wife, Claudia Villafane).

The film – described by its director as the third part in a trilogy about child geniuses and fame – distils Maradona’s meteoric rise and tragic fall into two compelling hours.

Diego Maradona: Rebel, Hero, Hustler, God covers the soccer legend’s early years – from his dirtpoor childhood in the slums of Buenos Aires to his time with Argentinos Juniors and an ill-fated stint with FC Barcelona, where he was plagued by illness and injury.

And there’s intimate footage of Maradona with his large family, whom he supported from the age of 15, supported by a voice-over interview with his sister Maria Rosa.

But the focus is the soccer legend’s seven-year stint in Naples, where he led the underachieving club to victories in two Italian Championships and an UEFA Cup. Why did a huge star like Maradona sign up – for a world record fee – to a club like SSC Napoli, which had never won a major tournament? This is the complex question the documentary sets out to answer.

Editor Chris King says he knew the film would begin with its subject’s

THE WHITE CROW (M) hhhkj Director Ralph Fiennes Starring Oleg Ivenko, Ralph Fiennes, Adele Exarchopoulos

arrival in the dangerously down-atheel Italian city from the minute he saw the “unbelievable footage” shot

by Juan Laburu and Gino Martucci in the 1980s when Maradona was at the peak of his footballing abilities.

“Suddenly you are in the room with him. You are in the car with him.

You are travelling around with him.”

Ramping up the tension still further is the incendiary passion of the Neapolitan fans, to whom football is closer to religion than sport.

Maradona’s friend and personal trainer, Fernando Signorini, recounts how a nurse stole a vial of the footballer’s blood to be stored next to that of the city’s patron saint, San Gennaro. At the height of Maradona fever, it seems everyone wanted a piece of him – including the Camorra, the Italian crime syndicate that

dominated the city and its supply of cocaine (to which Maradona eventually became addicted).

The footage of a stadium erupting as the footballer swaggers onto the pitch gives us a fleeting impression of what it might have been like to be in Maradona’s boots.

All this stands in stark contrast to Maradona’s lonely departure in 1991, after an unprecedented 15-month suspension for using cocaine prior to a game – a decision some see as punishment for the winning goal he scored during a penalty shootout in a World Cup game between Italy and Argentina, which was played in Naples a few months earlier.

Maradona is the only subject in Kapadia’s “fame trilogy” not to have died prematurely. His mythical tragedy has its own distinctive twist.

Part biopic, part Cold War thriller, The White Crow tells the story of Rudolf Nureyev’s 1961 defection to the West with the precision of, well, a classically trained ballet dancer.

Director Ralph Fiennes (Coriolanus, The Invisible Woman) might lack the bravura of his legendary subject, but he has a similar regard for discipline and technique.

Ukrainian dancer Oleg Ivenko (above right, with Raphael Personnaz) is thoroughly convincing as “Rudi”. The camera loves the debut actor’s chiselled features and he has a powerful on-screen physicality.

Any awkwardness resulting from Ivenko’s inexperience as an actor can be explained by his character’s rough-hewn flaws. Haughty, egotistical, brash … the chip on Nureyev’s shoulder is borne out of a dirt-poor upbringing.

While he’s not an entirely sympathetic character, he is compelling – and that’s far more interesting.

The White Crow centres around the Kirov Ballet’s tour of Paris, which Fiennes bathes in a warm, nostalgic light.

Intensely ambitious, and with an extraordinary thirst for cultural and intellectual knowledge, the 23-year-old dancer soaks up everything the City of Light has to offer. His appetite for art, music and dance unsettles the Soviet minders in charge of keeping this dance troupe in line.

The movie depicts Nureyev’s decision to defect as personal rather than political, and while nothing groundbreaking happens here, it is a muscular piece of storytelling that treats its subject with intelligence and respect.

f Kathleen Kedwell had an alter ego, it would be a “Southern belle, the Dolly Parton type, who is big and loud”. Dressed in glittery cowboy boots and a flouncy floral mini dress, Kathleen is right on cue.

So are her earrings – huge statement pieces in gleaming gold and silver hues.

The 30-year-old mother of two – who took to designing jewellery with the encouragement of her mother-in-law, internationally renowned jeweller Margot McKinney – says wearing bold accessories is “a confidence thing”.

“Some people wonder if they can wear big earrings, but in fact most people can pull them off,” she says.

Kathleen, who grew up on a cattle property in north Queensland before attending St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School in Ascot, released her first collection in 2017.

Her second landed in February this year, and her third and fourth (featuring semiprecious gems) will launch in August and September respectively. There is also a clipped range of complementary neckpieces, cuffs and rings, with all pieces manufactured in India.

“Jewellery design was actually something I was hoping to do earlier, but I didn’t have the faith that I had that ability, even though I’ve always been a creative type,” she says.

Working with Margot for the best part of two years helped convince Kathleen to give it a go. The pair connected in late 2011 shortly after Kathleen began dating her now-husband Cameron, 36, the son of Margot’s husband Peter Kedwell.

Kathleen had been working in event management, armed with a Bachelor of International Hotel and Tourism Management from the University of Queensland, when Margot asked her to help with the “relations side” of her business. The Margot McKinney juggernaut had already begun, expanding into prestigious US markets, including Neiman Marcus.

“Margot is a fourth-generation jeweller and I learnt so much from her, the unglamorous nuts and bolts of business

“The timing was perfect ... as much as I adore my children – Clancy is nearly three and Lillian is seven months – I feel so lucky to have the freedom to do a little something for myself.”

Kathleen credits her family with sparking her independent spirit. The oldest of three children to Peter and Katrina Faust, she grew up on “Breadalbane”, a 4000ha property in Proserpine, but when her parents suggested boarding school at St Margaret’s, 12-year-old Kathleen jumped at it. “I adored boarding,

that few people see,” Kathleen says.

“I loved it, but just before Cameron and I got married (in October 2013), I decided it was wise to separate work and family.”

A job running conferences for the Australian Institute of Management followed until, in late 2015, Kathleen was made redundant.

Not one to sit still for long, the then 27year-old committed to further study – she is halfway through a degree in speech pathology at the Australian Catholic University – but says the birth of her first child, in July 2016, was the catalyst she

Her brother Peter Faust, 28, is a carpenter, and the other, Matthew, 26, is a grazier.

Kathleen’s parents split their time between Clayfield and Proserpine, where they have a concreting and paving business.

“The challenge for me now, with little children, is trying to be patient and let the jewellery business evolve slowly. It gets my attention every single day; I am everything – bookkeeper, pick packer and designer – yet so grateful to be able to do what I do, and Cameron is a big part of that.”

The couple met eight years ago at the Stockman’s Bar and Grill at the Ekka, when Cameron plucked up the courage to introduce himself.

“I was on the board of the RNA’s Future Directions Committee (which aims to engage younger people about the show) and I’d been buzzing around all day,” explains Kathleen, “so I went to have a drink later with a few cousins and my father, and Cameron just came over.

“I was soon drawn to his kindness, his soft side, and that’s never changed.” They became engaged 10 months later, with a fancy yellow diamond Margot McKinney ring that Cameron helped design.

Kathleen and Cameron have other business interests, including Captain & Co cafe at Proserpine Airport and, until recently, Buzz cafe in The Emporium in Fortitude Valley. They are also renovating their 1950s home in Ashgrove.

“Life is very busy,” says Kathleen, “but I have never felt happier – once you learn to trust your talents and turn something that brings you joy into a lasting business, that’s pretty special.” kathleenkedwell.com

Parents weigh up school choice Parents are increasingly turning to a range of influences for help in choosing a school for their children, including their child’s opinion.

Insights from the latest What Parents Want survey by Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ) showed one in two parents, or 53 per cent, said their choice of school was totally or highly influenced by their child’s opinion.

However, parents still ranked traditional school information sources such as school visits, websites and prospectuses the most useful tools.

The survey also reported that Generation Y parents in their early 30s and younger were more likely than other generations to find school social media very useful, weigh up all schooling factors; be influenced by a school’s external appearance and facilities; and less likely to start thinking about school choice before or from their child’s birth.

ISQ executive director David Robertson says today’s parents expected more than the old ‘one size fits all’ industrial model approach to education.

“They are looking beyond test scores and prioritising schools that foster a much broader range of qualities and skills that prepare children for the future and develop their sense of personal and

community responsibility,” he says. Mr Robertson says Queensland independent schools offer a diversity of schooling options and education approaches that clearly resonate with Queensland families and the aspirations they hold for their children.

“Enrolments at independent schools have grown by 25,000 students since the

first What Parents Want survey in 2006 and continue to comprise about 15 percent of the state’s total school-age enrolments,” he says.

The majority of Queensland independent school parents spend at least two years researching schools and rely on the opinions of those close to them, the 2018 survey showed.

Welcomed and valued All Hallows’ School, the oldest secondary school in Queensland, provides a diverse, challenging and enriching academic and cocurricular program, says principal Catherine O’Kane.

“Our girls engage in a faith-based, broad liberal education that fosters the growth of highly-developed thinking and strong problem-solving skills,” she says.

“As innovative leaders in education, our nurturing and student-centred approach allows our students to become skilled communicators in a global context.”

Mrs O’Kane says an All Hallows’ girl is encouraged to be a self-leader and a supporter of every All Hallows’ girl.

“With a vibrant student community, each girl feels individually known and

supported, as she develops a sense of connectedness with her school sisters,” she says. “Your daughter will feel welcomed and valued, allowing her to achieve what the world has not yet imagined.”

PRIVATE AND INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS: ADVERTISING FEATURE

Catholic option a popular choice for families With places filling quickly in Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) schools across southeast Queensland, now is the time for parents to think about enrolling for 2020.

BCE executive director Pam Betts says through partnerships with parents, governments and the wider community, BCE schools provide social responsibility, self-discipline and Christian values for all students.

“BCE schools offer single-sex and coeducational secondary institutions that provide a wide selection of curriculum offerings in an affordable manner,” she says.

“Every student is given the opportunity to experience success by reaching their full potential in all aspects of school life.

“Students are seen as active participants in the learning process and their spiritual, physical, emotional and social development is of equal importance.”

On the environmental front, BCE is tackling issues such as climate change head-on, designing new school buildings that are environmentally-friendly, and teaching students to be aware of the world around them through water conservation,

energy saving, recycling and local ecological and environmental projects.

“Social justice also plays an important role with innovative activities and programs to raise awareness and funds for others less fortunate,” Miss Betts says.

“Indigenous cultures are explored through BCE’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander Cultural Studies Centre, NgutanaLui, at Inala.

“Pastoral care is a distinguishing feature in Catholic schools as young students gain a sense of identity, purpose, success and wellbeing within the context of a Catholic community.

“Students excel in a variety of cultural

pursuits such as singing, instrumental music, choirs, bands, drama and sports, and many students gain university places, while others move onto a wide variety of professional and technical careers.”

PH: 3033 7000 BRISBANECATHOLICSCHOOLS.COM.AU

Discover their spark Your child’s education should not only be measured by tests and scores. Teachers in today’s Catholic schools know a ranking upon graduation is not the sole definition of your child’s success. Their education should also be filled with encouragement and wonderment; where their heart sings with joy, every school day.

Country classics Acclaimed chef Bruno Loubet’s latest venture blends his signature French flair with farm-fresh flavours

I

f you’ve always wanted to learn how to make the perfect beef bourguignon, tarte tatin or boudin blanc, have we got the place for you.

Willow Vale Cooking School in the Gold Coast hinterland opens its postcard-perfect doors next month, offering how-tos in the aforementioned classics as part of its French Icons workshop on Aug 7 ($195), followed by Scrumptious Truffles ($250) on Aug 8, and Flexitarian ($195) on Aug 14.

Set on 3.2ha of rolling green hills with an 1890s Queenslander and a menagerie of animals, the idyll is owned and run by acclaimed French chef Bruno Loubet and his wife Catherine, who returned to Australia from the UK at the end of 2017 to pursue their dream of opening a bespoke cooking school.

Bruno spent more than 40 years heading up kitchens in London, France and Australia, working with world-renowned chefs, earning Michelin stars, publishing cookbooks and making TV appearances.

The school is shaped by his cooking experiences and his sustainable approach to living, inspired by a childhood in southwest France where, from a young age, he learnt how to grow his own vegetables and tend to his animals.

Still a passionate gardener, Bruno has created an extensive vegetable garden at the school – in raised beds, in line with the principles of hugelkultur, to boost moisture and soil fertility.

Workshops are planned around the garden calendar, tailored to what’s in season, with Bruno cooking in front of students while offering tips and tricks of the trade.

Students can get involved by helping the chef, or simply stand back and observe the proceedings. Then it’s just a matter of sitting down for lunch with Catherine and Bruno, and feasting on the delicious spoils, before heading home with a goodie bag filled with recipes from the class, a Willow Vale apron, honey and homemade infusions.

As well as a year-round calendar of classes, the school also offers private sessions for small groups.

AT HOME

Quick change Update your home in a flash with these styling hacks from magazine stylist and interior decorator Tahn Scoon Snip some foliage While cut flowers may be expensive to buy on a weekly basis, greenery can look just as good, and can be gathered for free. Fill a vase with a luscious bunch of leafy foliage or select a few sculptural branches for a more minimalist look. Greenery will help break up all those hard surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms, and will literally add life to your living room.

Paint out your frames Photo and picture frames are generally collected over time, and as such they may be in a multitude of different colours. My suggestion is to paint them in the same colour. For example, if you have a gallery wall made up of frames in black, white and timber – buy a can of inexpensive high gloss white and spray the non-white frames. Your gallery wall will instantly look fresher and more cohesive.

feather inserts one size larger than your covers, this will help them look extra plump and luxurious. You can buy 100 per cent feather or feather-fibre blends. The latter is better as it holds its shape longer.

Update your linen All towels and tea towels get tired and stained over time. Replacing old bathroom towels with fresh, fluffy white towels will instantly lift any bathroom. Incidentally, if you want your towels extra fluffy, add vinegar to your rinse cycle to remove any soap, and after air-drying, throw into the dryer for just a few minutes. In the kitchen, the easiest way to achieve a more high-end look is to replace old cotton tea towels with those made with linen.

Declutter your cabinetry When styling bookshelves and other open cabinetry for photoshoots, one of the most common things I do is to remove about one third of the original objects. We often think we need to fill every bit of shelving, but it’s more aesthetically pleasing to leave “white spaces” between groupings of objects. Once you’ve done this, decide on an overall colour palette and stick to it as much as you can (without it becoming too contrived or over-styled).

Freshen your cushions We all know updating our cushion covers is a good tip, but a less obvious tip is to replace any deflated polyester inserts with feather. Your cushions will instantly look more lush. A good trick is to buy the

LAST WORD

Phil Brown The thing I love about What Lies Beneath is that it is scary but not too scary. There is just enough psychological and supernatural suspense Due to a case of lurgi I was home for the day with time on my hands. What to do?

Then it dawned on me ... I had taped one of my favourite movies the night before and I could watch it again. I’m referring to What Lies Beneath, a 2000 psychological thriller with supernatural elements directed by Robert Zemeckis.

It stars Harrison Ford as Dr Norman Spencer with Michelle Pfeiffer as his wife and involves a haunting and a slow unravelling of a marriage with attempted murder thrown in for good measure.

Fun, right? It’s a movie my wife won’t watch again but I view it surreptitiously once a year at least.

It’s on a list of movies I will watch over

and over again. On that list is Clear and Present Danger (Harrison Ford is in that one too), The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Falling Down and One Hour Photo. My wife won’t watch any of them either.

They are all, admittedly, a bit twisted.

Read into that what you will.

The thing I love about What Lies Beneath is that it is scary but not too scary.

There is just enough psychological and supernatural suspense.

I don’t want too much.

For example, when The Exorcist came out I didn’t go to see it because I was too scared. I watched it later, once, years ago but it freaked me out so it’s not on my list.

Scary movies that I have enjoyed

include The Others, The Woman in Black (starring Daniel Radcliffe) which scared the bejesus out of me and Play Misty For Me starring Clint Eastwood, which is a psychological thriller of the first order.

I like to be a bit scared but not too much.

I remember as a kid being terrified when I watched an old Dracula movie and one of the scariest movies I saw as a teenager involved him, too – Count Yorga, Vampire.

I slept with the light on all night after that and if I’d had any garlands of garlic I would have created a protective barrier to keep the undead out.

I have always been a scaredy cat but I like being scared, to a point. Another horror movie which I watch occasionally

on Foxtel is Rosemary’s Baby starring Mia Farrow as a young woman whose new baby is not of this world. Gulp.

It freaks me out but I still watch it. Many scary movies are, however, just too frightening for me.

But What Lies Beneath is fine, a perfect balance between psychological and supernatural thrills and Harrison Ford is terrific and a real swine. It takes a while to find that out though.

Being home alone I was free to watch it propped up in bed with my cough mixture and paracetamol. Do you know this movie?

I may have to take another sick day next week to watch it again. But please, don’t tell anyone.

Space and splendour A full-scale renovation has transformed this former dairy farm into an impressive and modern riverfront estate.

Set on a sprawling block along the Brisbane River, Bangalla has a rich history spanning a century.

“The current owners bought the land off the Aitchison family, who were one of the first families to permanently settle in Fig Tree Pocket when they moved there in 1919 after the war,” McGrath Paddington marketing agent Alex Jordan says.

“They chose that part of Fig Tree Pocket to settle as they deemed it as the best position in the area, with the best outlook, orientation, high above the floodplains and even well above the record flood of 1893.

“After the current owners bought a parcel of this land, they subdivided it and ended up building Bangalla in 1994.”

A wrought-iron gate provides street entry into the estate, with double doors opening to a ground level foyer.

There’s a formal lounge area with a Jetmaster marble fireplace and beautiful timber and glass doors to a deck overlooking the pool and waterfront.

36,000 readers

Also with deck access is a casual living and dining room and the Caesarstone kitchen with its brass tapware and island breakfast bar.

Three bedrooms complete this level of the floorplan, with the main suite offering a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite.

The lower level has an open-plan living and dining area with a kitchenette and glass doors to a covered riverfront terrace.

The expansive estate also boasts a selfcontained guest cottage.
