Roman Polanski/Prada Ad A Therapy
22 May 2012 4:55 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Ben Kingsley: Roman Polanski Prada commercial A Therapy Roman Polanski is everywhere at the Cannes Film Festival. Polanski is the subject (and interviewee) of Laurent Bouzereau’s documentary Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir. He unveiled a restored print of his 1979/1980 Best Picture César and Oscar nominee Tess, starring Nastassja Kinski. And he is the director of the short film / Prada commercial A Therapy. Starring Helena Bonham Carter as a poor little Prada-clad rich woman and Ben Kingsley as her therapist and Prada aficionado, A Therapy was shown prior to the Tess screening. (Please scroll down.) Co-written by Polanski and The Ghost Writer‘s Ronald Harwood, A Therapy boasts music by The Queen‘s Alexandre Desplat, gorgeous cinematography by Girl with the Pearl Earring‘s Eduardo Serra, production design by The Godfather‘s Dean Tavoularis, and editing by The Pianist‘s Hervé de Luze. Ah, and costume design by, I guess, »

Cannes 2012 diary: day seven
22 May 2012 6:56 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Given the relentless rain pounding the Croisette, it's small wonder Nastassja Kinski would rather stay in bed than keep our interview date
Ahead of my scheduled interview with the actor Nastassja Kinski, I sit down to watch the restored version of Tess, the film she is in Cannes to discuss. Roman Polanski's 1979 epic drifts on a summer breeze of hay wains and dairy farms, bumps for a spell in the frozen mud of the potato field and then fetches up at Stonehenge, where our fugitive heroine has fled with her milksop husband, Angel Clare (Peter Firth). The bobbies come to arrest Tess but it turns out that they must wait their turn. "She's still sleeping," Angel whispers. "Just a little longer." Somewhere, very distantly, alarm bells start ringing.
Screenings in Cannes run to an immaculate clockwork precision. Interviews, however, are something else entirely; like confetti tossed to the wind, »

Cannes 2012: live blog - day six

All the news, reviews, comment and buzz from the Croisette on day six of the Cannes film festival
10.31am: Hello again: Cannes 2012 day six rolls round – after a very good weekend for the competition which we saw a wonderfully well reviewed Michael Haneke film, and good notices for two missing-in-action auteurs, Cristian Mungiu and Thomas Vinterberg, with Beyond the Hills and The Hunt (Jagten) respectively.
Outside the Palme d'Or nominees, things were a tad less rosy. "Pasty" Pete Doherty showed up for a screening of his acting debut, Confession of a Child of the Century: reaction, to be honest, was not good. Catherine will be filing a review later on – the word "catastrophic" was used. Brandon "son of David" Cronenberg debuted Antiviral: again, word was iffy; we'll have Peter's review launched fairly soon. And Henry appears to be giving girl group yarn The Sapphires a qualified thumbs-up: "sugary" would be the key concept here, »

Cannes 2012: How the Nanni Moretti Lead Jury Might Vote
15 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Which film is the odds-on favorite to grab the Palme d’Or this year. It depends not on who you ask, but who is assigned a jury seat. We’ve decided to offer our readers a breakdown on the jury of nine.
Known For: His political edge, as well as an omnipresence in Cannes, where he’s appeared 14 times, winning awards twice.
Best Work: He won the Palme d’Or in 2001 for The Son’s Room, though many regard 1994′s Dear Diary, which won an directing prize at Cannes, to be his best.
Little known fact: Organized an estimated 200,000 protesters in 2002 to a gathering in the square in front of Rome’s San Giovanni basilica to oppose legal reforms planned by the right-wing government of Silvio Berlusconi. He was quote during the protest as saying “The Italians who voted for Berlusconi were following a dream — and they woke up in a nightmare. »

Roman Polanski Movie: D (The Dreyfus Affair)
9 May 2012 5:46 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Roman Polanski‘s next movie will be D, described as a political thriller based on the infamous Dreyfus Affair. Polanski (photo), 79 next August 18, will once again work with The Ghost Writer‘s novelist / screenwriter Robert Harris. The Dreyfus Affair revolved around French army captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish man who was sentenced to life in prison for passing military secrets to the Germans in 1894. Though eventually proven innocent, Dreyfus languished for several years in solitary confinement on Devil’s Island. Partly as a result of the efforts of progressive novelist Émile Zola and others outraged by widespread corruption and bigotry within the ranks of France’s military establishment, Dreyfus was pardoned in 1899. Seven years later, he was officially exonerated of all charges. "I have long wanted to make a film about the Dreyfus Affair, treating it not as a costume drama but as a spy story,” Polanski was quoted as saying in a statement. »

Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto captivates in Michael Winterbottom's bold reading of Hardy's tragedy
"In this life," Sir Thomas Beecham is said to have advised us, "try everything once, except incest and morris dancing" – an admonition that Michael Winterbottom, Britain's most prolific and versatile director, has followed. Indeed after 9 Songs, his venture into unsimulated sex between consenting actors, he may well be contemplating an excursion into cinematic incest. Winterbottom's movies have ranged from the music scene in Manchester to incarceration in Guantánamo, and at regular intervals he has made versions of Thomas Hardy novels on three continents.
In 1996, quite early in his career, he adapted Jude the Obscure with some fidelity to its plot and its Victorian times with Christopher Eccleston as the doomed Wessex stonemason and Kate Winslet as his deranged second wife. In 2000 he transposed The Mayor of Casterbridge to the Californian gold rush of the 1860s as The Claim, »

Blu-ray Review - Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966)
6 March 2012 11:05 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Dracula: Prince of Darkness, 1966.
Directed by Terence Fisher.
Starring Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley, Andrew Keir, Francis Matthews, Suzan Farmer, Charles Tingwell, Philip Latham and Thorley Walters.
Synopsis:
Four unsuspecting visitors are lured to Castle Dracula, paving the way for the resurrection of the fearsome Prince of Darkness.
Vampires don’t chat. They’re vicious, hungry predators who happen to be wearing their last victim’s body, like a perverse kind of trophy. Count Dracula, as written by Jimmy Sangster and portrayed by Christopher Lee, is far more animal than man. If you like your vampires buff and broody, go rent Buffy or Twilight, they’ve got you covered for hunks galore. If you’re after a horror film... look no further.
It all starts with a kind of ‘Previously on Dracula’ segment, where the climactic battle from Horror of Dracula (1957) is replayed, framed in a terrific burning eye effect. No »

Lone Star Cinema: Paris, Texas
26 January 2012 8:00 AM, PST | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
In a career spanning more than four decades, director Wim Wenders has delivered an eclectic mix of feature films, shorts and documentaries for the big screen and television. With Wenders's latest documentary, Pina, opening in Austin soon, it's a good time to look back at what may be his most celebrated movie, the inimitable Paris, Texas.
Released in 1984 to wide critical acclaim, Paris, Texas is the story of reticent oddball Travis Henderson (Harry Dean Stanton), who wanders deliriously out of the desert into Terlingua, Texas as the film opens. A local doctor treats him and contacts his brother, Walt (Dean Stockwell), who travels from Los Angeles to reunite with Travis, a lonely and damaged soul who has been estranged from the family for years.
On a difficult road trip back to Los Angeles -- Travis refuses to speak at first and has a penchant for disappearing if left alone -- »
