    ‘Feeling tears roll down my face’: The dance floor experience that changed Harry Styles

    Three years ago, Harry Styles was coming off one of the biggest tours in history and had just won album of the year at the Grammys. But instead of rushing to release another record and riding that wave of success, he pulled back and spent time alone. Harry told himself he wouldn’t return to the studio until he answered two important questions: what he wanted to say with his music, and why he was making it in the first place. In this Canadian exclusive interview, Tom Power catches up with Harry in Los Angeles to talk about the path that led to his latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

    Never mind method acting. Baz Luhrmann is a “method director”

    You've heard of method actors — performers who fully immerse themselves in a role until a project is complete —  but Baz Luhrmann has been called a “method director.” Spectacle is his signature. From the glittering chaos of Moulin Rouge! to the roaring parties of The Great Gatsby, Baz fills every frame with vibrant colour, music and movement. For his new documentary, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, he dives headfirst into the glitter once again, this time to tell the story of his longtime muse, Elvis Presley. The film shows the King of Rock and Roll not as a myth, but as a ferocious live performer full of humanity and power. Baz joins guest host Garvia Bailey to reflect on the bold, anything-goes style that’s defined his career, and why he’s drawn to cultural icons and big emotional swings.
