Cannes: Robert Pattinson plays a lethal finance bad boy in David Cronenberg's 'Cosmopolis.' Plus, a Palme d'Or conspiracy theory
25 May 2012 9:59 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
David Cronenberg is often the kind of director who makes art when he thinks he’s going mainstream (A Dangerous Method, The Fly) and winds up with a crock when he thinks he’s making art (the inexplicable 1996 Cannes Special Jury Prize winner Crash). Cosmopolis, which premiered this morning, may star the Most Coveted Sexy Franchise Heartthrob in the Universe, Robert Pattinson, but it is nevertheless in the icy, stultifying tradition of such hermetically sealed Cronenberg duds as M. Butterfly and Videodrome. For most of this one, we’re sealed in a white stretch limousine, the interiors of which Cronenberg shoots from symmetrical low angles, »

Cannes: 'The Paperboy,' starring Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman, proves that 'Precious' director Lee Daniels needs some common sense to go with his talent
24 May 2012 11:39 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
When you hear about a movie that gets booed at the Cannes Film Festival, you tend to picture a monolithic thumbs-down chorus, like an ancient arena crowd turning on a gladiator. Actually, that’s not how it works. There is almost always at least some polite applause after film festival showings, so the boos, when they do happen, tend to be mixed in with clapping. That’s the sound I heard this morning when the closing credits rolled on Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy. And, in fact, that sound expressed my own feelings exactly. I wanted to do a catcall and »

Cannes: 'On the Road,' with Garrett Hedlund and Kristen Stewart, is a reverent, if not overly faithful ramble
23 May 2012 9:59 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
In On the Road, Walter Salles’ reverent, at times almost painfully faithful adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s birth-of-the-Beat-spirit novel, the characters are always getting high on one thing or another, and I don’t just mean drugs — though they do smoke weed and dissolve Benzedrine into their coffee. They also go to after-hours clubs and listen to twisty ecstatic jazz, their bodies shaking and writhing as the music works its way inside them. They have a lot of sex, too, some of it pretty exposed (hello, Nc-17!): On a car ride to nowhere, Sal (Sam Riley), the Kerouac character, »

Cannes: Brad Pitt is menacingly good in the scuzzy, snazzy underworld movie 'Killing Them Softly'
22 May 2012 8:29 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
I wasn’t nearly as wild as a lot of critics about The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford — I thought it was too long, too arty and slow, too in love with its moods and images. Yet it was clear that the director, the New Zealand-born Australian Andrew Dominik, was very gifted. Whenever Brad Pitt appeared as Jesse James, the screen vibrated with menace, even though Pitt seemed to be doing almost nothing. As good as he had been before (in, say, Fight Club), I thought that the Jesse James performance was the place where Pitt »

Cannes: Horror stalks the Croisette in 'Dario Argento's Dracula' and an amazing documentary about 'The Shining'
21 May 2012 11:49 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
At a film festival dominated by subtitled deep-think, you sometimes need a break. You need a meal, or a drink, or a nap. Or, just maybe, you need a movie like Dario Argento’s Dracula. I’ve never been the biggest fan of this schlock-operatic Italian splatter maven, but after such fevered orgies of gore as Suspiria and Unsane, the thought of him going back to the source — going back to Dracula — sounded appealing. Dracula turns out to be ripely entertaining in a kitschy-sincere old-fashioned way. (The kitsch is in how sincere it is.) It’s true, to a far greater degree than I expected, »

Review: Silly and stupid 'Dracula 3D' is career nadir for Dario Argento
21 May 2012 8:45 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Cannes - Dario Argento made his directorial debut the same year I was born. He has literally been making horror films as long as I've been alive, and his first nine horror features are arguably one of the best runs any filmmaker in the genre has ever had. I consider "Suspiria" to be one of the towering accomplishments in all of horror, a true nightmare that makes almost no literal sense but that manages to wrap the viewer in a perverse and pervasive sense of dream. His influence can be felt in hundreds, if not thousands of films at this point, »

Isabelle Fuhrman Scores Lead Role in Remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria
21 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Fifteen year-old actress, Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan), who was most recently seen as Clove in director Gary Ross’ big-screen adaptation of The Hunger Games, and will appear in director M. Night Shyamalan’s forthcoming sci-fi film, After Earth, alongside Will Smith (Men In Black III) and his son Jaden Smith, has scored herself the lead role in David Gordon Green‘s remake of Suspiria.
Variety reports that director David Gordon Green (Eastbound & Down, The Sitter) will helm the remake of Dario Argento’s 1977 witchy horror flick from a script he co-wrote with Chris Gebert. Fuhrman will portray the role of a young girl who travels to Europe to attend a world-renowned school, only to learn that the academy is a front for a coven of witches.
Suspiria is slated to hit theaters in 2013. »

Cannes 2012. Days 4-5, Essential Reads
21 May 2012 3:08 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Romanian New Wave director Cristian Mungiu's Beyond the Hills is his first feature since taking home the Palme d'Or in 2007 with 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, and it's eliciting differing opinions amongst critics. The Hollywood Reporter's Stephen Dalton calls it "an engrossingly serious work, and confirms Mungiu as a maturing talent with more universal stories to tell than those defined by Romania’s recent political past." The articulate Mungiu discusses the themes of his film rather frankly in the press conference, which is recommended viewing.
Other take: Karina Longworth (La Weekly)
John Hillcoat's new film boasts an impressive cast, featuring the likes of Guy Pearce, Tom Hardy and Jessica "throw-a-rock-at-Cannes-and-you'll-hit-her" Chastain, but they're the only thing that Lawless seems to be receiving unanimous praise for. Otherwise, reception has been more lukewarm, noting that it's often effective, but ultimately flawed and conventional. Jason Solomons of The Guardian finds that Hillcoat's »
'Dracula 3D' Cannes Review: Dario Argento's Latest is a Ludicrous Poop-Pile of Cheesy Z-Movie Badness
20 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
You can usually disregard the possessive parts of movie titles like Dr. Seuss' The Lorax and John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars as the fulfillment of contractual obligations, not as necessary components of the actual title. (I don't care what the poster says. Your movie is called The Lorax.) But I think we should make an exception for Dario Argento's Dracula. This will distinguish it not only from other movies called Dracula, but from the schlocky, no-name, straight-to-Netflix trash that it otherwise resembles. Without the words "Dario Argento's" in the title, you'd never know how it even got made, let alone released. This ludicrous poop-pile comes from the Italian horror icon whose films like Deep Red and Suspiria influenced the genre in the...

Cannes Review: Tits, Teeth, and Rutger Hauer in Dario Argento’s ‘Dracula 3D’
20 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Sitting in a theater watching a fair few people walk out in protest at the poor quality of Dracula 3D, you have to wonder whether they knew anything about horror legend Dario Argento, and if so what exactly they expected from the director whose name alone guarantees an audience. Because Argento has a certain set of skills, which aren’t necessarily reconcilable with what is great about film these days, but to give due credit, he hasn’t really deviated from the same tracks for decades, and the result is generally an entertaining affair all the same. This time out he’s taken the iconic Dracula story on, giving horror’s most famous character (played here by Thomas Kretschmann) his first 3D treatment, and adding a few other brand new touches to the iconic story of how the Count tricked Jonathan Harker (Unax Ugalde) into working for him in order to take his wife Mina (Marta Gastini) for »

Cannes: Can 'Amour' really be a Michael Haneke film? It's a tenderly devastating portrait of old age
20 May 2012 9:29 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The Austrian director Michael Haneke is known for his creepouts (Caché), freakouts (Funny Games), and for the general air of dislocating disturbance that he imparts to almost everything his camera peers at. Amour (Love), his brilliant and haunting new movie, which premiered at Cannes this morning, has a moment early on that is very Haneke-ian. Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Anne (Emmanuelle Riva), an old French couple in their still-vital early 80s, are seated at their cozily cramped little breakfast table, talking about this and that, and just as Georges is about to crack open his soft-boiled egg, he looks over at his wife, »

At Cannes, the fabled Palme d’Or isn’t like any other Best Picture award. Unlike, say, the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, or even the Oscar, it is conferred with a reverence that says: This film is a work of art — and the person who made it has been ushered into the pantheon. He (or she) is now one of the initiated, recognized in the shimmering galaxy of the international film world to be a major artist, a saint of the cinema, a wearer of the supreme auteur merit badge. There have been 65 Palme d’Or winners (the award »

Cannes: Matteo Garrone's 'Reality' skewers reality TV through a contempo Fellini lens
18 May 2012 1:40 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The blowhard standing in the Annie Hall movie line was right, of course: After a while, Federico Fellini really did get to be an “indulgent” filmmaker. But before that dreaded word Felliniesque was turned into a lazy pop- cultural signifier for clowns, dwarves, big-bosomed earth- mother Italian sirens, and a general wearying frenzy of circuslike surrealism, it was a term — and a film aesthetic — that meant something, that conjured the modern madness of everyday life. Reality, the first film directed by Matteo Garrone since Gomorra (2008) — his coldly visionary dissection of an Italian society run at every level by the Mafia »

‘The House By the Cemetery’ Finds Lucio Fulci Scaring Up Gory Thrills and Unintentional Laughs With Blood, Boobs and Bats
18 May 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
The Italian cinema scene has felt a bit tepid in recent years with only the occasional title making waves internationally, but once upon a time the country was a movie-making powerhouse. One of its biggest areas of export throughout the 7’0s and 80s was the horror genre with big names like Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Lucio Fulci churning out stylish frightfests oozing atmosphere and gore. Like all things they varied in quality, but the films were rarely less than entertaining. Fulci was easily one of the most prolific of the bunch often filming and releasing two to three movies per year. That pace continued through his final film in 1991, but his commercial and creative peak was arguably the early ’80s. The House By the Cemetery is sometimes referred to as the third in Fulci’s apocalyptic horror trilogy alongside City Of the Living Dead and The Beyond (reviewed by me here and here).

The Last Horror Blog: Is 'Dracula 3D' The Worst Trailer of the Year? Plus Eli Roth, Rob Zombie and More!
17 May 2012 4:15 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Argento’s Dracula gets a disappointing trailer – Last time we saw anything about Dario Argento’s upcoming 3D version of Dracula, it was a sizzle reel used to lure in buyers that somehow made its way online. That clip was not good, but some of Argento’s staunchest supporters argued that it wasn’t fair to judge a film based on a clip the public wasn’t supposed to see – one featuring incomplete FX work and what appeared to be a stock music track. That seemed fair, but now that the official first trailer has debuted, it’s safe to say that the film isn’t looking any better. This could be the worst trailer of 2012. As a card-carrying Argento-phile of the first order, it pains me to see Argento turn in this sort of work. The new...

Here’s the latest poster and a completely new trailer for the upcoming Dracula 3D, Dario Argento‘s newest project which will screen at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
