Constantinople to Istanbul review – you won’t want to leave this lavish celebration of double imperial splendour

V&A, London Treasures from the two world-defining cultures that somehow coexisted in one mighty city keep on dazzling in this gorgeous, unmissable show Two empires compete to bewitch you in this exhibition that offers a double bubble of beauty.

It's a pseudo-sequel to Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood , and it brings back Brad Pitt's stuntman character for a mystery in 70s Los Angeles that's sure to be one of the most talked-about movies in a while.
