‘One of the funniest and most provocative films of the year’ is now streaming for free

Arts & Culture, Film & TV

Amazon Prime Video has just dropped one of this year’s cinematic standouts for its subscribers to devour.The film, a musical thriller, offers a bold and humorous take on the Northern Ireland conflict, following a group that’s been shaking up the music scene over the past decade.Featuring the actual band members as themselves, this potential Irish cult favourite is loaded with pulsating beats, uproarious humour, and a fair share of mischief.Prime members can now indulge in this cinematic treat at no additional cost, making it an essential watch for enthusiasts of cutting-edge tunes, gripping crime stories, and poignant narratives.Enter the world of Kneecap, a somewhat overlooked masterpiece of the year that delivers a significant impact and deserves widespread attention.The film stars Irish rappers Liam Og “Mo Chara” O Hannaidh, Naoise “Moglai Bap” O Caireallain and JJ “DJ Provai” O Dochartaigh playing themselves in this autobiographical tale set against the backdrop of Belfast.The plot thickens when Liam gets arrested and refuses to speak English, leading to an unexpected bond with Irish teacher JJ who’s called in to interpret. Discovering Liam’s rap talent, JJ forms a trio with him and his mate Naoise, setting the stage for their controversial tunes to hit the big time.Also featuring in this stellar cast are Jessica Reynolds, barely recognisable from her Outlander stint, and A-lister Michael Fassbender portraying Naoise’s dad.Wendy Ide from The Guardian hailed Kneecap as “exhilarating” and dubbed it “one of the funniest films of the year”.”The combination of the profane and the political, the riotous humour and punchy editing makes for one of the more energising viewing experiences of the year, and possibly one of the funniest,” she pens.The Upcoming remarks: “It hardly comes as a surprise that the Kneecap won the NEXT Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival in January.”The film will, without doubt, become a cult classic amongst certain audiences, but it is important to acknowledge that Kneecap proves to be an educational experience as well as a dramatisation.”Through all the fun and games the political arguments remain very real and look certain to continue to be so in the distant future.”FilmHounds’ glowing five-star review stated: “Overall, Kneecap is one of the best music biopics in decades; a film that can involve excessive drug-use and sex, yet find sincerity and a strong message at the centre of it.”It never feels like a greatest hits track or glorifies the band (which many biopics opt to do), but instead has that grit and punch needed to tell a story like this. In decades to come, there’ll be one rap trio that we will look back on as being one of the greatest to come out of Britain in the 2010s: Kneecap.”And The Independent labels it a “sweary, crude and brilliantly political Irish comedy”.”Kneecap is so confident and single-minded in its telling of the semi-fictionalised origins of its titular west Belfast hip-hop trio, that it may make anyone who’s never heard of them feel like a bit of a loser,” they added.”It’s a film that not only signals a major musical arrival, but ends up feeling a lot bigger than the conventional (and often confining) boundaries of the ‘music biopic’.”Will you be joining the Kneecap revolution this weekend?Kneecap is available to stream on Prime Video.

Igor Kolomoisky Net Worth 2024 – What Were His First Steps in Business?

Business News

Biography of Igor Kolomoisky
Igor Kolomoisky is a well-known personality in Ukraine. He is one of the largest entrepreneurs, and since 2014, after his appointment as governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, he is also a statesman.
Childhood and family of Igor Kolomoisky
Kolomoisky’s hometown is Dnepropetrovsk. It was there that he was born and raised. As a boy, Igor studied at the twenty-first school and was one of the best students. Besides school, his hobby was chess. Kolomoisky even managed to get the first rank in this sport. As a boy, he was also passionately involved in football. My father worked at a metallurgical plant, and my mother worked at the Promstroyproekt institute.
In 1980, Igor graduated with honors from school and entered the metallurgical institute in his hometown. Five years later, he left its walls as a certified engineer and was sent to a design organization.
Kolomoisky’s first steps in business
After the law “On cooperation” was passed in the mid-eighties, a recent student and young professional decided to go into business. Together with his partners Alexei Martynov and Gennady Bogolyubov, Igor worked in the cooperative “Fianit”.
After some time, young people created their own cooperative, calling it “Sentosa”. This happened after the collapse of the USSR. The sphere of activity of their cooperative is the resale of various goods, including office equipment, trade in oil and ferroalloys.
Construction of the industrial and financial empire of Igor Kolomoisky
Soon, the leadership qualities of Igor Valerievich and his already considerable financial capabilities by that time created the prerequisites for the creation of a large industrial and financial empire, where his personal contribution was not only financial, Kolomoisky took an active part in the decision-making of this corporation. It was conventionally called “Privat”. Initially, in 1992, he was one of the founders of PrivatBank. The bank was founded by four companies. In 2005, in one of his interviews, Kolomoisky reported that his share in this bank was thirty percent. Serhiy Tigipko was the chairman of the board. Who, having gone into politics, sold his stake in this group.
Who is he, Igor Kolomoisky?
In the fiercest competition at the time of voucher privatization, the Privat Group managed to significantly expand its assets. So, Igor Valerievich began to control the city market “Ozerki”, a coke-chemical plant, a company “Ukrnafta”, a ferroalloy plant in Nikopol and a number of other large enterprises. All the strategic and most important decisions of the Privat group were made not without the participation of Kolomoisky, and the ferroalloy business was almost completely transferred to the individual management of Igor Valerievich. It should be noted that his business interests were already in those years extremely multifaceted.
Charity and social activities of Igor Kolomoisky
Kolomoisky never stopped engaging in social activities, as well as charity. It is known that thanks to his financial assistance, the historical synagogue “Hurva” was revived in Jerusalem. Not without his financial investments, the repair of the tunnels located at the Western Wall was completed. The famous Kiev museum complex “Artistic Arsenal” was created, including with the participation of Igor Valerievich. Since 1998, he has become one of the members of the board of trustees of the Jewish community in Dnepropetrovsk. Ten years later, Kolomoisky became the head of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine, and two years later – the European Council of Jewish Communities.
The first video interview of the Governor of Dnepropetrovsk region Igor Kolomoisky
Kolomoisky headed a number of sports clubs: basketball and football clubs “Dnepr”, hockey club “Budivelnik” and others.
Igor Kolomoisky in public service
A large Ukrainian entrepreneur entered the civil service in 2014 – he was appointed governor of his native Dnipropetrovsk region. He took office on March 3rd and made a promise to the public of the region not to do business.
Soon, Igor Valerievich made a proposal to establish a two-meter wall of barbed wire on the border with Russia, he also called for the nationalization of the property of pro-Russian-minded oligarchs, as well as the transfer of three districts of the Donetsk region under the jurisdiction of his region.
During the conflict and aggravation of the situation in the eastern part of Ukraine, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region found support from a number of Ukrainian organizations and political parties. He organized his own volunteer formations – these are battalions such as “Dnepr” and “Shturm”.
Personal life of Igor Kolomoisky
It is known that Igor Valerievich is a citizen of two countries – Israel and Ukraine. As a charity in Israel, he made a significant contribution to the restoration of national shrines. Kolomoisky is married. His wife’s name is Irina. The wedding took place when he was only twenty years old. They have two grown children – Angelica and Grigory. Since 2000, his family has lived almost permanently in Geneva.
It is known that in Russia in early July a court decision was made on the arrest (in absentia) of Igor Valerievich. His lawyers intend to appeal this decision.
