Alejandro Jodorowsky: 'I am not mad'
12 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Th 84-year-old director rolled into Cannes this week to discuss his latest film La Danza de la Realidad, a magic-realist memoir of his youth. He talks about his troubled childhood, his passion for psychomagic – and why ageing doesn't trouble him
Missing, believed lost, Alejandro Jodorowsky rolls into Cannes like a conquering hero. He has a room at the Croisette and a film in the directors' fortnight – a rambunctious sidebar away from the Palais. "I am like the rain, I go where I'm needed," the director explains. "If I were in the big house, with the red carpet and photographers and all the fancy women, I would be ashamed." He has always been happier way out on the fringes.
Jodorowsky turned 84 last birthday. He has white hair, bright eyes and a crocodile smile. It is now more than four decades since he thrilled the faithful as El Topo, a mysterious gunslinger in rabbinical black, »

DiCaprio Developing WWII Drama with Lehane and Greengrass
17 hours ago | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Leonardo DiCaprio is teaming back up with Shutter Island author Dennis Lehane. Lehane will script a new World War II drama DiCaprio is developing called Travis McGee. Paul Greengrass (The Green Zone) is set to direct it.
As of right now, DiCaprio is only producing, but like all of the projects he produces, he could end up starring in it as well. The movie will be based on a book called Deep Blue Good-by, which is part of 21 book series with the first one "following its main character as he tries to find treasure from WWII."
This is the first script for a film that Lehane will write that won't be based on one of his own books. Lehane is a great writer, so I trust that he'll do a solid job adapting this. Here's a short description from the novel:
He's a self-described beach bum who won his houseboat in a card game. »

Close up: Cannes, crime and ultraviolence
18 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Catch up with the last seven days in the world of film
This time last week the biggest story coming out of Cannes was The Great Gatsby – but oh, how quickly things change. Since then critics have been getting in a lather about all manner of things, but no film has been quite as divisive as Only God Forgives, Nicholas Winding Refn's follow-up to Drive.
Starring Ryan Gosling as Julian, a westerner submerged in Bangkok's criminal underworld, it's a creepy, ultraviolent revenge tale that provoked boos and walkouts when it screened at Cannes on Wednesday – although that didn't stop Peter Bradshaw awarding it five stars while declaring that "every scene, every frame, is executed with pure formal brilliance."
Xan Brooks offered more praise (albeit slightly more reserved), while our report from the press conference found the director confessing that he approaches filmmaking "like a pornographer: it's about »

Leonardo DiCaprio pulled out of The Great Gatsby's premiere in Sydney last night (May 22).
The actor, who is still in Cannes after the movie opened at its film festival, blamed his failure to attend on a "schedule change", while director Baz Luhrmann cited personal reasons.
"My time shooting, living and working in Sydney - with the most amazing Australian cast and crew - was an experience I won't forget," DiCaprio told Australia's The Daily Telegraph.
"It was such a great joy to reunite with Baz, who was endlessly inspiring on The Great Gatsby and, most importantly, is a great friend of mine.
"Unfortunately I am unable to return to Sydney for the film's Australian premiere due to a schedule change."
