London Gothic
I’m always vaguely suspicious of plots that require identical twins to function, especially in films; it seems such a cheap trick. Audrey Niffenegger’s follow-up to her bestseller The Time-Traveller’s Wife deploys not one but two sets of twins, one pair moreover being genetic ‘mirror images’, with matching but opposite facial moles and reversed internal organs. For fans of TTW, here’s another helping of kooky Gothic, this time with more horror than romance, set in and around Highgate cemetery in London.

'Warhol appears to have been not so much alive as undead. He affected dopey inarticulacy in interviews, envied the automatism of machines and cultivated an affectless ennui as he limoed between parties.'
March's cover piece: Peter Conrad on Andy Warhol.
