'Ishtar': Seven Myths Regarding The Legendary Flop
21 May 2012 10:49 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
"If all of the people who hate 'Ishtar' had seen it, I would be a rich woman today." So said Elaine May in 2006, two decades after the Warren Beatty-Dustin Hoffman comedy she wrote and directed had become synonymous with "extravagant flop." (The film grossed $14.4 million on a $55 million budget.) Up until May 22, 1987 (the day it opened in theaters, 25 years ago), advance buzz on "Ishtar" was contentious; it was either a brilliant comic masterpiece or a textbook case of overreach on the part of two giant Hollywood egos to whom no one could say, "No." After the film's release... same thing. To this day, the movie is roundly mocked for its alleged awfulness (often by people who've never seen it), while a passionate cult of fans insists it's a lost work of misunderstood genius that never got its proper due from critics or moviegoers. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. »

Claude Miller obituary
6 April 2012 7:19 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
French film director and close associate of François Truffaut
The film director Claude Miller, who has died aged 70 after a long illness, was continually dogged by comparisons to his friend and mentor François Truffaut. Hardly a review of his films failed to mention Truffaut in some way or another. This came about for various reasons. Miller was Truffaut's production manager on several occasions and made subtle references to the older director's work in many of his own films, almost always mentioning him in interviews. He had a small role in Truffaut's L'Enfant Sauvage (The Wild Child, 1970) and adapted La Petite Voleuse (The Little Thief, 1988) from a 30-page screenplay that Truffaut had written a few years before his death.
When Truffaut was once asked whether he had started a school of directors, he denied it. "These people are more influenced by other directors than myself. If Claude Miller has points in common with me, »

Preity French actress Isabelle all set for Ishkq In Paris shoot
24 March 2012 | BollywoodHungama | See recent BollywoodHungama news »
While Saif Ali Khan is still a few months away from beginning work on his action thriller that is an adaptation of a French comic book, his co-star of many films, Preity Zinta, has already kick-started her French sojourn with Ishkq In Paris. Though she has recently finished a 15 day schedule in France, Preity is now all set to revisit the country and rub shoulders with legendary French actress Isabelle Adjani.
"This would be a real huge moment for Preity and also some nervous moments for the actress since Isabelle is looked upon very highly in the international film circuit. As for Preity, since this is her first ever international collaboration where she is also a producer, she is going an extra mile to ensure that her liaison with Isabelle counts. Her first schedule in Paris to familiarise herself with the milieu and now that she is well versed with »

Looking back at Possession
21 March 2012 4:08 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
A young Sam Neill stars in director Andrzej Zuwalksi’s disturbing Possession. Toby takes a look back at a film that blurs the lines between art-house and exploitation...
Self-mutilation with an electric carving knife, the most unpleasant divorce in the history of cinema, multi-coloured viscous pus pouring from every orifice, Isabelle Adjani going mental for 127 minutes and Sam Neill in tight turquoise trousers. You will find all of this and significantly more in director Andrzej Zuwalski’s Possession (1981), an unsung masterpiece of horror which treads carefully between the realms of art house and exploitation cinema.
As a self-confessed horror fan when I recently picked up a copy, it surprised me that I had never seen nor heard of it. Seeing Sam Neill’s face plastered on the masthead, I figured I couldn’t go too far wrong with watching Dr Alan Grant going through an 18-certificate divorce. I was pleasantly, »
Beginnings Are Useless: A Conversation with Andrzej Żuławski
16 March 2012 6:23 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Above: Andrzej Żuławski on the set of Boris Godounov (1989).
The first American retrospective of Andrzej Żuławski offers the chance to discover an auteur whose idiosyncratic vision is as radical, overwhelming and instantly recognizable—it may take no longer than a few shots—as those of canonized masters like Robert Bresson and Andrej Tarkovskij. But maybe Paul Verhoeven would serve as a better comparison, since Żuławski has remained similarly polarizing due to a punchy sensibility that had the French coin the term "Zulawskienne," meaning "over the top." Consider the opening of his first feature The Third Part of the Night (1971): A woman reads out the apocalyptic passage containing the title from the Book of Revelation, only to be struck down minutes later by one of the soldiers on horseback suddenly intruding in her house. Clearly, this is a world where anything can happen, and Żuławski makes sure it does. Then again, »
Gerard Depardieu will play Dominique Strauss-Kahn 'because I don't like him'
15 March 2012 6:23 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
French actor Gerard Depardieu said on Thursday he would play the “arrogant, smug” former Imf chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn in a film about his fall from grace in a series of sex scandals. “I will do it, because I don’t like him,” said Depardieu, best known for his larger-than-life swashbuckling roles like warrior poet Cyrano de Bergerac or comic book hero Asterix’s huge sidekick Obelix. “He’s not lovable. I think he’s a bit like all the French, a bit arrogant. I don’t much like the French in any case,” he told Swiss television. “He’s very French: arrogant, »

Jean Dujardin Kisses Oscar; French Actresses/Oscars

Jean Dujardin kissing Oscar statuette Best Actor Oscar winner Jean Dujardin kisses his Oscar statuette at the Governors Ball 2012. For his performance as a fading silent-film star in Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist, Dujardin became the first Frenchman to win an Oscar in the acting categories: Charles Boyer, Maurice Chevalier, and Gérard Depardieu had all been nominated before, but none of them had ever won. (Photo: © A.M.P.A.S.) The list of Frenchwomen who either won or were nominated for Oscars in the acting categories is much more extensive. The French-born, American-raised Claudette Colbert was the Best Actress of 1934 for Frank Capra's comedy It Happened One Night. The other French Best Actress Oscar winners are Simone Signoret for Jack Clayton's 1959 British drama Room at the Top and Marion Cotillard for Olivier Dahan's French-language Edith Piaf biopic La Vie en Rose. Additionally, Juliette Binoche was a »

And The Oscar Goes To ... Someone Who Didn't Deserve It.
23 February 2012 11:59 AM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
It still provides a chuckle
The history of The Academy Awards is littered with strange and inexplicable happenings: Revealed shortcomings, spontaneous pushups, "The winner is Paul Newman," Sandahl Bergman's interpretive dance to "Eye Of The Tiger" (admittedly, one of the highlights of my life).
And of course ... Snow White rolling on the river.
But aside from the odd ceremony moments, and the fashion drama on the red carpet, it's the Oscar errors in judgment that we remember the most.
A few weeks ago we discussed the Oscar nomination Sins Of Omission, so let's now take a look at the performers who actually won, and how The Academy still blew it.
The 2005 nominees for Best Actor were:
Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote
Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain
David Strathairn in Good Night and Good Luck
Terrence Howard in Hustle & Flow
Joaquin Phoenix in Walk The Line

Oscar's French Connection
21 February 2012 12:00 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
The unofficial theme of the 2012 awards season could be "Vive la France," with the French-helmed "The Artist" picking up dozens of awards and going into Oscar night with 10 nominations, second only to 11 nods for "Hugo."
The movie has picked up wins for director Michel Hazanavicius and leading man Jean Dujardin at the BAFTAs, Critics Choice, Directors Guild and Screen Actors Guild Awards, as well as a multitude of trophies for the film, its score, art direction, editing and costumes. It's not just picking up steam, it's a veritable awards locomotive.

With "The Artist" positioned so strongly for the Academy Awards, and its key players, including nominated costar Bérénice Bejo, being French (even though the film was shot entirely in Los Angeles, where it is set during the dawn of the talkies), we decided to take a look at the roster of other French talent that »

American director Abel Ferrara continued to promote his planned drama based on the recent Dominique Strauss-Kahn sex scandal and he told the French newspaper Le Monde that veteran actor Gerard Depardieu signed on to play Strauss-Kahn. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ferrara also confirmed actress Isabelle Adjani as Strauss-Kahn’s wife Anne Sinclair. Ferrara’s announcements continued to contradict with Vincent Maraval producer at Wild Bunch, the Paris-based distributor, sales agent and producer. Maraval declined to confirm whether Wild Bunch remained committed to producing the movie despite Ferrara’s repeated casting claims and plans to begin production in June. “Vincent doesn’t want to talk about the project, that’s normal, he’s the producer. But I’m the director! No one can stop me from talking about my movie,” Ferrara told Le Monde. »

Abel Ferrara and Gérard Depardieu to Dramatize the Dominique Strauss-Kahn Sex Scandal
6 February 2012 3:59 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Director Abel Ferrara is no stranger to making movies about creeps – he did direct the original Bad Lieutenant after all – so he’s probably as good a choice as any to make a dramatization of the recent scandal French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been involved in. For those uninitiated, Strauss-Kahn (or Dsk, as the French adorably refer to him) was the former director of the International Monetary Fund and had a pretty high profile campaign for the French presidency running before he was arrested in New York for allegedly sexually assaulting a hotel maid. A sexual encounter between the two was confirmed, but exactly how consensual it really got was never revealed, and eventually the case was dismissed; not before the incident garnered a tidal wave of media attention and derailed the man’s political career, however. Anyway, on to the movie news. Ferrara has told Le Monde that his next film will be a dramatization of »

Abel Ferrara Reaffirms His Dominque Strauss-Kahn Pic With Gerard Depardieu Will Shoot In June (Producers Are Not So Certain)
6 February 2012 8:40 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Abel Ferrara continues to insist disgraced French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn will be the inspiration for an upcoming film. First revealed at the tail end of last year, reports surfaced that the director was looking at Gerard Depardieu and Isabelle Adjani to star in a movie that will use the Strasse-Kahn affair, and incidents involving Bill Clinton and Silvio Berlusconi and more to tell a fictionalized tale about sexual scandals. Production company Wild Bunch were quick to downplay any connection to Dsk saying the film would only have "a little bit" of influence from his highly publicized incident in New York City. While, we'll have to see how it all plays out, Ferrara is quickly moving on the project. Apparently fueled on cocktails during the France premiere of "Go Go Tales" (delayed in the country for a variety of arcane reasons), Le Monde caught up with the chatty director. Ferrara said »
Gerard Depardieu to star in film inspired by Dominique Strauss-Kahn

Director Abel Ferrara confirms that Depardieu will star opposite Isabelle Adjani in his film about political sex scandals, inspired by the French politician
Gerard Depardieu is set to take the lead role in Abel Ferrara's Dominique Strauss-Kahn-inspired film about political sex scandals, the maverick Us film-maker has told a French newspaper.
Ferrara, the iconoclastic director of Bad Lieutenant and King of New York, told Le Monde his movie would be shot in New York, Washington and in France: "In all spots of power in fact: it's a film about rich and powerful people." Depardieu has been tipped to take the lead since December last year, when news of the project first broke. Ferrara also confirmed that Isabelle Adjani will play his wife.
Ferrara's producer, Vincent Maraval of Paris-based Wild Bunch, last year denied reports that the project was close to entering production after earlier appearing to suggest the opposite. »

Truffaut @ 80
6 February 2012 3:55 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
For its doodle marking what would have been François Truffaut's 80th birthday today, Google needed an iconic image. Not Catherine Deneuve or Gérard Depardieu in The Last Metro (1980) or Isabelle Adjani in The Story of Adele H. (1975) or even Jeanne Moreau in Jules and Jim (1962), but rather, and most obviously, the young Antoine Doinel on the beach. The doodle's not exactly the famous final freeze frame but nevertheless very recognizably the young Jean-Pierre Léaud in what would be both the director's and the actor's debut feature, The 400 Blows (1959).
"It's fascinating to consider the similarities and the differences between François and Antoine," wrote Kent Jones in a 2003 essay for Criterion on Antoine and Colette (1962), the short film in which Antoine, all of 17, falls in love for the first time. Kent Jones notes that Truffaut has shifted the "cultural meeting ground" of the young lovers "from the cinematheque," where Truffaut, »
