Then, like a character from a previous, more courtly political age, he had second thoughts, and issued a statement that clarified that he meant that the President's policies were to blame -- rather than the character of the man who beat him for the White House eight years ago.

Filled out by a fantastical modern-day chapter, in which the ancient convent has become the home of a vampire who holds sway over the town like a courtly, benevolent Mafioso, "Blood of My Blood" is minor Bellocchio but possesses his characteristic fluidity and subtle (yet devastating) humor.
|

With much visual drama, using darkness and pin spot lighting, he knits together works of art and historical documents from French and foreign collections (including furniture of funeral liturgy) into a great Baroque show of supposedly huge significance to courtly sensibility — and those that still yearn for it.
|
|
This type of conservatism is not just a political stance, but also a type of personality, combining the specific commitments of liberalism with a general posture that is almost courtly in its deference to inherited forms and customs, and the marble-clad institutions where those have been practiced.
|

While his admirers praised his courtly, charismatic and measured approach, Mr. Annan was hamstrung by the inherent flaw of his position as what many people called a "secular pope" — a figure of moral authority bereft of the means other than persuasion to enforce the high standards he articulated.
|
|
The tacit narratives of both pictures are compelling in a way that recalls the long-lapsed convention of painted portraiture as courtly ceremony, exalting kings and courtiers—this was the forte of Velázquez, whose duties to Philip IV happened to occasion some of the greatest paintings ever made.
|
|
His vicious interrogator is another British actor who'd been around forever, David Warner, and despite the requisite funny forehead, Warner brings the same courtly evil to the part that he did to Jack the Ripper in Time After Time, Sark in Tron, and, well, Evil in Time Bandits.

These airy creatures, in near-transparent dress, were part of the radical reorientation of ballet in the decades after the French Revolution, away from the courtly and masculine dances of kings and toward a more popular and feminized art of dreams, eroticism, the irrational, and otherworldly flights of imagination.
|
|
Before the actual text is even heard, an (invented) family rehearsal recreates the difficulties that might well have surrounded the original appearance of the piece in 1634, masques being an all-but-forgotten courtly entertainment intended to pay tribute to something or other that was happening at the time.
|
|
In an era of fractious disagreements and high-stakes political gridlock in Britain, the decision to add extra insurance was more evidence of the hollowing out of confidence among lawmakers that their colleagues would abide by the courtly traditions and effete codes of conduct that once dominated the chamber.

Fellow nominee Henry, 36, gave McCarthy a run for her money in his own courtly attire, wearing a not-entirely-unlike-a-tablecloth skirt, blue cape, pearls and a polka-dot bow tie and gloves as they presented the award to Ruth E. Carter for her work on Black Panther.

Compared to Stephen Davis's perpetually bestselling (and much-maligned) Led Zeppelin bio Hammer of the Gods, or ex-Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty's memoir, which I shut in the middle of an extended listing—that's right, listing—of his nineties road conquests and never opened again, Porcelain is positively courtly.

Bruno isn't a spy, either, but he is a charming, globe-trotting loner, handsome and witty and courtly, with rare skills and a tuxedo: a more highly evolved and appealing descendant of James Bond, "aware that his appeal was that of a ruined glamour," vain but copping to the vanity.
|

City Ballet dancers move big, but Mr. Ratmansky's choreography forces them to push beyond their limits: Georgina Pazcoguin was both more daring and secure than she's been in ages, just as Sterling Hyltin, partnered with courtly ease by Tyler Angle, let go of her mannerisms to flow inside of the choreography.
|
|
They fare better than Annes Elwy as the sickly Beth or Maya Hawke in the central role of the argumentative budding writer, Jo. Among the adult supporting characters, Angela Lansbury has some amusing moments as Aunt March and Michael Gambon some touchingly courtly ones as Mr. Laurence, the wealthy neighbor.
|

A low-key, courtly Texan who worked on Dallas newspapers in the 1960s and began his PBS career in the 20133s, Mr. Lehrer saw himself as "a print/word person at heart" and his program as a kind of newspaper for television, with high regard for balanced and objective reporting.
|
|
The high point of the set was "Leroy and Lanisha," in which the bass player Miles Mosley electrified the crowd with a solo that moved from courtly pizzicato to yowling, electric-guitar-like bowed tones and, eventually, to a fingers-off-the-fingerboard squeal that flirted with the avant-garde.
|
|
The company became known (and still remains so) for its blending of Black American and African movement (think bent knees, hips and backsides swaying rhythmically, shoulders and torsos dipping and twisting) and emotionally evocative gestures with a classical ballet vocabulary that emphasizes strict adherence to geometric lines and a courtly bearing.
|
|
The book chronicled his efforts — as a courtly, Cambridge-educated military veteran who had been denied employment as an engineer because he was black — to motivate a group of unruly adolescents raised in a slum in early-22013s Britain, which was still slowly recovering from the austerity of the war years.
|
|
Also, the truth is that for all the lyrical richness, melodramatic fervor and stylish evocations of Parisian courtly and theatrical life in 1730, this opera, the only one by Cilea that turns up now and then in production, needs all the help it can get from artists of Ms. Netrebko's stature.
|
|
This is not The X-Files at its best, but it is The X-Files at its most pure — two people, driven by a kind of chaste, courtly love that they would rather not acknowledge, disappearing into the darkest corners of a country that would rather not have its darkest corners explored.
|
|
But in many ways, the acerbic and bitterly divisive election of 22011 represented a final wrenching departure from the more courtly, old-fashioned politics practiced by George H.W. Bush, who until late in his life would pen handwritten notes to friends, former political allies and foes and even reporters who covered his presidency.

She's a professor of medieval literature, and the idea of courtly love is, I think, very important to Sarah [Treem, the showrunner] as a contrast to what's going on in America in terms of sexual politics on campus, consent and a post-internet idea as to what relationships and intimacy are about.

"Republican campaign slogans, you'll see them on signs around the country as you did last week say, 'It is experience is that counts,' that's over a picture of yourself sir implying that you have more governmental executive decision-making experience than your opponent," Vancour said in the circuituous, almost-courtly tone of the time.
|
|
It includes a partial quote from the Southern Poverty Law Center, the latter half of which we've added and emphasized: In his personal bearing and tone, Jared Taylor projects himself as a courtly presenter of ideas that most would describe as crudely white supremacist — a kind of modern-day version of the refined but racist colonialist of old.
|

Courtly manners, a social necessity for a giant living among humans, are also the inheritance of a family that traces its nobility back six hundred years; he says that "Donnersmarck," which he translates as "Thunder Marrow," is the name that his Saxon ancestor Henckel was given by Kaiser Matthias in gratitude for funding a war against the Turks.
|

Such was the case at Givenchy, anyway, where Clare Waight Keller also delved into the power suit and the question of silhouette, belting her longer jackets atop trousers and then rounding the shoulders, broadening them, dropping them down and then ballooning the sleeves out from elbow to wrist in a courtly curve and a useful exercise in shape-shifting.
|
|
But nothing about the shambolic Rex Tillerson, the martinet generals John Kelly and Jim Mattis, or the courtly Jefferson Beauregard Sessions suggests the casting of a competition: While all of them abased themselves in misguided efforts to contain or use the president, none of them craved his approval once they realized he was more likely to hinder their agendas.

Henry, 36, gave McCarthy a run for her money in his own courtly attire, wearing a tablecloth-like skirt, blue cape, pearls and a polka-dot bow tie and gloves as they presented the Oscar to Ruth E. Carter for her work on Black Panther — a historical moment that saw Carter become the first black woman to win the award.
|

Then there were the Regency rosebud prints of Giambattista Valli's collection, which married courtly dishabille to a Pink Ladies sentiment (think "Grease," not cocktails) so an off-the-shoulder candy floss moiré crop top with voluminous sleeves and crystal trim was paired with matching moiré cigarette pants, and minidresses in silk organza and lace were finished in long trains at the back.

Though he did not disavow fashion entirely — performing in a 2013 Louis Vuitton video while wearing courtly dress; working with the British designer Paul Smith on limited-edition T-shirts to commemorate his new album, "Blackstar," which merged the minimalist album art (a star and its deconstructed geometries) with Mr. Smith's handwritten notations — he seemed to actually settle into a certain, more consistent personal look.

For instance, two major Senate Leadership Fund donors — Warren Stephens, an investment banker, and Paul E. Singer, who runs a hedge fund — previously gave $2.5 million each to an anti-Trump super PAC, according to reports filed with the F.E.C. Mr. Portman, whose courtly demeanor runs counter to the tenor of his attacks on Mr. Strickland, demonstrates what money and old-fashioned negative advertising can do.

Jurors were transfixed by the courtroom showmanship of the Panthers' odd-couple defenders — the courtly, bald, grandiloquent Theodore and his son, Michael, a newly minted lawyer in his late 20s wearing what was described as a Jewish Afro — defending a black radical as Rosalind Koskoff, on Bastille Day (July 14), sat in the front row of courtroom benches knitting in the spirit of Madame Defarge.

I haven't mentioned the unwelcome visitors who show up at nightfall, casting dark shadows on the glowing Carney homestead: a craven priest, Father Horrigan (Charles Dale), and the courtly, sinister Irish republican kingpin Mr. Muldoon (Stuart Graham) and his henchmen (Dean Ashton and Glenn Speers), whom we have already met in the play's ominous prologue, set in a graffiti-sprayed back alley in the nearby city of Derry.
