Early Buzz on the Biggest Movies Premiering at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival
22 minutes ago | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Another Cannes Film Festival is drawing to a close (things wrap up on May 26), which always makes us sad – but the good news is that this year’s fest has given us a slew of new titles to look forward to seeing for the rest of 2013. From a biopic about Liberace from the soon-to-retire Steven Soderbergh to the latest from beloved filmmakers like the Coen Brothers, Sofia Coppola, and Nicolas Winding Refn – this year’s Cannes certainly hasn’t lacked what we like to call “event pictures.” If this is indicative of what the rest of the year has in store for movie lovers, we think we’re all in for a treat. Not all of us made it to France this year for the festival, but we’ve been here at home keeping an eye on things from afar. As...

Cannes 2013: With hardly a line of dialogue, Robert Redford is marvelous as a man lost at sea. Plus, Liz Taylor's bling
1 hour ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
All Is Lost is a man-stranded-at-sea movie, starring Robert Redford, in a role that has almost no dialogue, as a fellow who wakes up in his small yacht, somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean, only to discover that a random floating railway car — who knows how it got there? — has gashed a hole in the boat’s hull. It’s like his own miniature iceberg scrape: All of a sudden, his boat could go down, and him with it. Most movies that strand a solitary figure at sea, like Life of Pi, or on a desert island, like »

Cannes 2013: 'Only God Forgives' re-teams Ryan Gosling with the director of 'Drive.' But this one stalls
5 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Drive, the deliriously bloody and overwrought Ryan Gosling art thriller that premiered two years ago at Cannes, is a movie that I found stylish in its way (it was hard not to, given that the film was nothing but style), but also luridly unconvincing. I didn’t see it, or even hear anything about it, until its opening weekend, and later, as I caught up with the ecstatic reviews and began to talk to people who thought it was some sort of nihilistic pop masterpiece, I realized that the elements of Drive that I had experienced as borderline loopy — like, »

Film Summer Guide: Club-going Teens Turn Celebrity Burglars in Coppola's The Bling Ring
15 hours ago | Village Voice | See recent Village Voice news »
Maybe it was the toxic convergence of celebrity worship, hyper-materialism, shitty parenting, and Adderall: Starting in late 2008, a gang of spoiled Valley kids walked into the unlocked homes of Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, Audrina Patridge, and others, pilfering over $3 million in designer clothing, jewelry, artwork, and Brian Austin Green's handgun. Inspired by Nancy Jo Sales's March 2010 Vanity Fair article on the real-life criminals, Lost in Translation auteur Sofia Coppola's artful, thrilling The Bling Ring taps into the arrogance and ennui of this teen mob. It's not so much this season's hedonistic answer to Spring Breakers as it is a post-Internet-generational The King of Comedy, with all that film's sadness, insolence, and absurdity.

Watch A New Clip From Sofia Coppola’s ‘The Bling Ring’
15 hours ago | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
A new clip has been released from Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring, which kicked off Un Certain Regard last week at Cannes. Unlike most films screening at the film festival, audiences elsewhere won’t have to wait very long to watch the movie. The Bling Ring hits theaters next month, and despite some rather negative reviews, I’m still excited to see it.
In the fame-obsessed world of Los Angeles, a group of teenagers take us on a thrilling and disturbing crime-spree in the Hollywood hills. Based on true events, the group, who were fixated on the glamorous life, tracked their celebrity targets online, and stole more than 3 million in luxury goods from their homes. Their victims included Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, and Rachel Bilson, and the gang became known in the media as “The Bling Ring.”
In The Bling Ring, Oscar Winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola takes us inside the world of these teens, »

Watch: What if Sofia Coppola, Jim Jarmusch or Terrence Malick Directed 'Fast & Furious 6'?
18 hours ago | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Whenever a big movie comes out there's always a part of us that wonders what it'd look like if someone else directed it. Like, what if Martin Scorsese directed Star Trek Into Darkness instead of J.J. Abrams (oh, the cursing!), or if Terrence Malick directed Fast & Furious 6 (oh, the shots of Vin Diesel frolicking in an open field!). Thankfully we have folks like Jesse Benjamin to animate these "what ifs" into a humorous video that imagine this week's Fast & Furious sequel as if it were directed by art house favorites like Sofia Coppola, Jim Jarmusch (the best one, in our opinion) and Terrence Malick. Check it out below. And hey, at least Wes Anderson got a pass on this one. [via CinemaBlend] Follow @ErikDavis !function(d,s,id){var...

‘Only Lovers Left Alive’ Images: Tom Hiddleston Goes Goth in Indie Vampire Drama
22 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
At the midpoint of the Cannes Film Festival 2013, an exciting range of films – both big and small – have already been screened. The festival opened with Baz Luhrmann’s new adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, and other works shown so far include Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring and Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station.
In competition for the Palme d’Or is Jim Jarmusch’s vampire drama Only Lovers Left Alive, a modern vampire romance that sets out to examine the nature of humanity through the eyes of people who lived for centuries, which marks the director’s first film release since 2009′s uneventful The Limits of Control.
Jarmusch’s film was a late addition to the Cannes 2013 selection, but an official pressbook has now been released that is full of stills, plot details, and character descriptions. In particular, it contains a detailed synopsis and a director »

Cannes round-up: Keanu directs, Franco parties and more!
21 May 2013 9:15 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
The Cannes Film Festival is entering its final star-studded days. With the veritable who’s who of Hollywood and beyond invading the south of France for the eleven day festival, critics have been treated to a number of future awards contenders including Joel and Ethan Coen’s Inside Llewyn Davis, Roman Polanski’s Venus in Fur, The Bling Ring directed by Sofia Coppola, and Only God Forgives, the latest pairing of Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn.
A few actors are stepping behind the camera at Cannes including Keanu Reeves and James Franco. Reeves is in town to shop his directorial debut, the martial arts-based Man of Tai Chi. Compared to Reeves, Franco is a seasoned veteran when it comes to directing with a number of short films, documentaries and features under his belt. He’s in town for his latest attempt, As I Lay Dying, an adaptation of the William Faulker novel. »

Favourite Movie Soundtracks - Goodfellas

Brogan Morris on his favourite movie soundtrack....
Picking a best of anything always causes me more anxiety than it should – it’s my personal favourite of something, and so what? Every film fan’s got one. But it feels like ‘favourite movie soundtrack’ is one I have to get absolutely right.
There are so, so many; Almost Famous appeals to the long-hair within me, nostalgic for the 70s (a decade I never actually saw) and its rock decadence; Marie Antoinette speaks to the sulky little indie kid side of me, complete as Sofia Coppola’s picture is with juicy new wave and post-punk tunes; and there’s always O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the country ‘n’ bluegrass on that being damn near perfect. Then I remember Quentin Tarantino, and I go tumbling down a rabbit hole after seven films (not Death Proof) with wonderfully eclectic soundtracks.
Goodfellas tops all of them, »

Watch: Leslie Mann Asks Emma Watson About Angelina Jolie In New Clip From 'The Bling Ring'
21 May 2013 7:05 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
As exciting as Cannes can be, it's sometimes dampened by the fact that the films currently being unveiled on the Mediterranean coast can take months or sometimes even more than a year to make it to U.S. shores. But fortunately, that isn't the case with everything; after the premiere of "Behind The Candelabra" this morning (read our review!), we only have to wait five days for it to screen on HBO, and coming up not too far behind is Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring," which kicked off Un Certain Regard last week, and hits theaters in about three weeks. As such, we're getting a little bit more of the film than most of the line-up, and to add to the material we've already seen, thirty seconds worth of brief new clips from the film, which toplines Emma Watson as one of a gang of teens who embark on »

Cannes 2013: 'Behind the Candelabra' is more than a dark Liberace kitschfest. It's a creepily moving love story
21 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Behind the Candelabra, Steven Soderbergh’s backstage drama about Liberace, the fur-and-sequin-clad, ivory-tickling kitsch maestro of “wonderful” entertainment, and his relationship with Scott Thorson, the dewy hunk who became his romantic partner in the late 1970s, is a movie that I’ve been eager to see for many months. Nevertheless, when it was announced that the film wouldn’t just be playing at Cannes, but that it would be part of the hallowed roster of films shown in competition here, it raised my eyebrows.
Unless I’m mistaken, this is the first time that a movie set to premiere on American television — in this case, »

Guardian wonders why Sofia Coppola is so obsessed with pole dancing. The pole is back for Bling Ring
McN David Poland has several capsule thoughts on Cannes films. This is my favorite type of festival review since I find that festival environments are not good for full length reviews and yet people persist in lengthy split second reactions anyway. Let the movies marinate. But he hates the explicit gay sex drama Stranger by the Lake and thinks it wouldn't be in the festival it it were hetero explicit

Apple Daily Tony Leung Chiu Wai -at Cannes for his wife's new film -- meets Ang Lee for dinner. Chinese press follows but the Lust, Caution pair are not reuniting any time soon (shame). Tony tells the reporters that he's seen Zhang Ziyi already, too.

Watch Fast & Furious 6 Directed By Sofia Coppola, Jim Jarmusch And Terrence Malick
21 May 2013 5:22 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Over the years, the Fast & Furious franchise has become synonymous with the kind of big splashy action spectacle that demands you shut off your brain and just let go. But after helming Fast & Furious 3-6, Justin Lin is walking away from the physic-defying Dominic Toretto and company. So, the path is cleared for a new helmer to take on the guaranteed seventh installment. But who could possibly match Lin's passion and skill for jaw-dropping vehicular madness? Sofia Coppola? Jim Jarmusch? Terrence Malick? Of course, Fast & Furious 6 is about as far from the tender and introspective art house movies of those auteurs as you can get, which is exactly why animator Jesse Benjamin gave their styles the spotlight in his latest Wrong Director vid. Check it out above, thanks to a tip from Next Movie. From mimicking the pink pantied opening shot of Lost In Translation to aping Jarmusch's offbeat aesthetic, »
Robin Wright’s Film Takes ‘Craziest Movie at Cannes’ Honors
20 May 2013 10:15 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Before I continue with this post, take a look at this wackadoodle trailer for Robin Wright's new live action–animated movie The Congress, from Waltz with Bashir director Ari Folman, which debuted at Cannes earlier this week and feels like the most uninhibitedly ambitious film of the festival so far.Okay, now we can talk, because the movie itself is even more out-there than what the trailer would have you believe. Picture a part-live-action, part-animated Yellow Submarine–esque version of Being John Malkovich (but starring Wright), combined with the Hollywood satire of Robert Altman's The Player and a dystopian futurist vision of the celebrity obsession depicted in Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring (which also premiered at Cannes). Based on Stanislaw Lem's 1971 novel The Futurological Congress, it starts out with Robin Wright playing Robin Wright, an actress who starred in The Princess Bride and Forrest Gump, and »

Cannes 2013: 'Blood Ties' is an authentic '70s-set crime movie that gives Clive Owen his best role in years
20 May 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
When film directors stage a scene from the mid-1970s, we all know how it’s done: They’ll clear everything out of a shot — commercial signage, etc. — that violates the period, and then they’ll plunk down a bunch of 1970s parked cars. Yet what they end up with still doesn’t usually look like the period — it looks prefab — and watching Blood Ties, a rivetingly scuzzy and authentic New York cops-and-crime drama (it’s set in 1974), starring Clive Owen as a hard case who has just gotten out of prison and Billy Crudup as his straight-arrow policeman brother, »

Sofia Coppola: 'Bling Ring' Is 'Not The Ideal Way [Designers] Want To Be Portrayed'
20 May 2013 8:04 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
If you're as excited to see "The Bling Ring" as we are, you know what to expect in Sofia Coppola's latest film: lots and lots of decadent designer clothing. The film depicts sticky-fingered teens who paw their way through the high-end closets of celebs like Paris Hilton and Megan Fox.
Those luxury brands aren't exactly depicted in the most positive light, piled garishly high in the homes of Hollywood's A-list and snatched up in acts of teenage thievery. And yet Coppola told Women's Wear Daily that Louis Vuitton and Chanel gave full consent to be depicted in the film:
“I think it’s not the ideal way they want to be portrayed. Louis Vuitton is this brand based on heritage and great craftsmanship, and that wasn’t the side that we were celebrating.”
So why would Vuitton be so eager to be featured? It's worth noting that the director »

Why is Sofia Coppola obsessed with pole dancing?
20 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
In her new film, The Bling Ring, she gets Emma Waston to swing around the upright. Indeed, in many of her films, there is a pole-dancing scene. Is it something to do with alienation?
It's the old distraction one-two, known in Hollywood as sexposition: if you've got a boring dialogue sequence – two cops yakking about a case, maybe – stick it in a strip club, where the sight of cavorting female flesh will cover up your thimble-brained story's deficiencies. Pole-dancing on screen is also becoming bit of a rite of passage for your classy, upscale actress (see Natalie Portman in Closer). But quite why film director-cum-fashionista Sofia Coppola should be so fascinated – even obsessed – is less clear.
Whatever it is about pole-dancing, Coppola just can't stop filming it. One of the big selling points – almost the only selling point – of her new film The Bling Ring is a scene where Emma Watson »

Sofia Coppola reveals she had to sneak into Paris Hilton's home to shoot 'The Bling Ring'

Cannes - Sofia Coppola is a bit tired. As we sit down for one of her last interviews of the day it's clear she's lost a wee bit of enthusiasm to talk once again about the world of celebrity culture her characters in "The Bling Ring" are obsessed with. She succinctly notes, "You can't really look at Us Weekly as in the same way after making this movie." "Bing Ring" is based on the true story on a group of upper middle class Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley teenagers whose somewhat innocent adventures sneaking into the homes of Hollywood celebrities »
