Palme dOr Winner Prediction: Amour
9 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Amour: director Michael Haneke, Emmanuelle Riva, Jean-Louis Trintignant The Cannes Film Festival 2012‘s Palme d’Or winner? Well, though the two — critical raves, Palme d’Or — don’t always go hand in hand, the most widely acclaimed presentation at Cannes this year was Michael Haneke‘s tale of love and death, Amour / Love, starring veterans Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva, and Isabelle Huppert. So, I’m betting on Amour. [See also Cannes 2012: Best Actor Predictions; Cannes 2012: Best Actress Predictions; several Amour review snippets; the French-language Amour trailer.] In case Amour does take home the Palme d’Or, that’ll be Michael Haneke’s second win in three years: Haneke’s The White Ribbon, about Germany’s Nazi generation (long before they became Nazis), received Cannes’ top prize in 2009. That would also be a record-breaking small gap between Palme d’Ors: Bille August had to wait four years (Pelle the Conqueror, 1988; The Best Intentions, 1992); Francis Ford Coppola five years (The Conversation, 1974; Apocalypse Now, 1979, tied with Volker Schlöndorff’s The Tin Drum »

Watch: Trailer For Omnibus '7 Days In Havana' Plus First Look At Josh Hutcherson, Daniel Bruhl & Emir Kusturica In The Film
2 April 2012 2:22 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With Paris and New York already getting their big screen valentines in two omnibus movies, and with Syndey brewing one of their own, Havana is going to get their time to shine with "7 Days In Havana." And to get a bit of sun soaked flavor before summer is here in full force, the first trailer has arrived.
A tremendously strong batch of directors have come together for this one -- Benicio Del Toro, Laurent Cantet ("The Class"), Gaspar Noé ("Enter the Void"), Pablo Trapero ("Carancho"), Elia Suleiman, Julio Medem ("Sex And Lucia") and Juan Carlos Tabio -- in a film that unlike some of the films that have come before, will see characters recur in everyone's short films. Josh Hutcherson and Daniel Bruhl are the two starrier names that appear (though, keep an eye out for Emir Kusturica as well) in the pic penned by Cuban novelist Leonardo Padura that »

Alfonso Cuaron, Michel Gondry, Sara Driver, Marjane Satrapi, and Emir Kusturica to Direct Animated Anthology Tales From The Hanging Head
29 March 2012 3:24 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A curious little project has come to our attention, and it’s quite exciting. A number of international directors are coming together to helm segments of an animated folk tale anthology called Tales from the Hanging Head. Filmmaker Sara Driver spilled the details on the project, revealing that she’ll be directing a story alongside Alfonso Cuaron, Michel Gondry, Marjane Satrapi, and Emir Kusturica. It’s a series of folk tales for children, linked together by the common thread of metamorphosis. Hit the jump for more. Driver spoke with the Huffington Post and the Columbia Spectator (via The Playlist) about the anthology, giving up a few interesting details: They’re from different countries, and the stories are from different countries, and Marjane is going to tie it all together with her incredible animation… The directors have to do every effect in camera or by light and shadow or in very »

Anthology Picture ‘The Hanging Head’ Comes Together With Alfonso Cuaron, Michel Gondry, Marjane Satrapi and More
29 March 2012 11:25 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Filmmakers have got that anthology fever. Just look toward the next couple of years, which are set to present the multi-story format from Woody Allen, V/H/S, the Stephen King-written Reaper’s Image, The Turning, and Sydney Unplugged. Now it’s time to throw one more into the fray — possibly the most enticing of them all, too.
And it’s all thanks to independent artist Sara Driver, who told The Huffington Post (via ThePlaylist) that she’s wrangled together a tidy collection of talent for her folk tale project Tales from the Hanging Head. Along with herself, the “European production for children” will see contributions from Alfonso Cuarón, Michel Gondry, Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis), and Emir Kusturica (Underground).
Connected via a “common thread of metamorphosis,” Hanging Head will, as told to The Columbia Spectator, feature modern reworkings of Serbian folk tales, suited for each director’s native country; while live-action, »

Cuaron, Gondry Are "Hanging Head"
29 March 2012 10:30 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Michael Gondry and Alfonso Cuaron along with several other filmmakers are teaming up for the new European kiddie-oriented anthology feature "Tales from the Hanging Head" according to The Huffington Post (via The Playlist)
Frequent Jim Jarmusch collaborator Sara Driver along with Marjane Satrapi ("Persepolis") and Emir Kusturica ("Underground") also helm segments, based on a series of folk tales, which will have the "common thread of metamorphosis".
Driver tells The Columbia Spectator that "They’re from different countries, and the stories are from different countries, and Marjane is going to tie it all together with her incredible animation. The directors have to do every effect in camera or by light and shadow or in very tangible ways so that it brings magic to children. I also made all the fairy tales—I adapted them and brought them up to the present, so it’s also about bringing magic into the present day, »

Alfonso Cuaron, Emir Kusturica, Michel Gondry, Marjane Satrapi & Sara Driver Team For Anthology 'Tales From The Hanging Head'
29 March 2012 6:41 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
So, just who is Sara Driver? She's a filmmaker who worked the New York scene, collaborating with Jim Jarmusch (producing "Stranger Than Paradise," working on "Permanent Vacation" and inspiring the story behind "Broken Flowers") and also made her own movies through the '80s and '90s. But as these stories sometimes go, while the indie movie world moved forward, she was left behind. However, a resurgence of appreciation for her contributions and her work have put her name back in the spotlight thanks to a recent retrospective at the Anthology Film Archives in New York City and new boxset of her films, and she's going to strike while the iron is hot.
Doing the interview rounds, she tells the Huffington Post that her next endeavor will find her working alongside some pretty big names. "[It's] a European production for children, a series of folk tales to be called 'Tales from the Hanging Head, »

"Sleepwalking: The Films of Sara Driver"
24 March 2012 2:56 PM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
"Showcasing a free-form approach to narrative that you'll wish wasn't all but extinct in American independent cinema," writes Benjamin Mercer in the L, "Sara Driver's long-unavailable (and too small) body of work constitutes a minor revelation. In her 1981 debut, You Are Not I — recently rediscovered and refurbished, providing the impetus for Anthology's retrospective — Driver laid the groundwork for her eerily dissonant overlay of enchantment, terror, and tedium: Adapting a Paul Bowles story with longtime collaborator (and partner) Jim Jarmusch, who also shot the film on black-and-white 16mm, You Are Not I is an outer-boundary study in the mind's capacity to project its disturbance." Suzanne Fletcher plays Ethel, "who has somehow escaped from a nearby mental hospital in the flaming aftermath of a several-car pileup. She travels through a derelict zone to her sister's house, where the 'inconvenient' Ethel winds up in an unnervingly clenched domestic showdown. »

Brothers and directors Jean-Paul and Luc Dardenne discuss The Kid With a Bike, opening in New York and Los Angeles March 16
Brothers Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne may not be household names here in the States, but they certainly are in rarefied air, since they have done something only five directors have done before. They have won the prestigious Palme D'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival twice (Rosetta 1999, L'Enfant (The Child) 2005), joining Alf Sjoberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Bille August, Emir Kusturica, and Shohei Imamura as the only directors with two Palme D'Or wins. Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne return to cinemas with their latest drama entitled The Kid with a Bike, which opens in New York and Los Angeles March 16, before expanding nationally in the coming weeks. I had the chance to speak with Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne about The Kid with a Bike. Here's what they had to say below. »

A Conversation With The Dardenne Brothers
14 March 2012 12:02 PM, PDT | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
The Kid with a Bike, the latest from the Belgian Dardenne Brothers, is opening this Friday, March 16, courtesy of Sundance Selects. The touching story already picked up the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes last year in addition to being nominated for a Golden Globe and Spirit Award. After his heartbreadking role in the Dardennes’ The Child, actor Jérémie Renier reprises his role as a deadbeat dad, Guy, who abandons his twelve-year-old son, Cyril, to be looked after by the local hairdresser, Samantha. She struggles to fill in the missing holes Cyril’s absent parents left behind while trying to keep him away from negative influences on the street.
Once again the brothers have mastered the art of portraying the trials of the working class with compassion over pity, and with objectivity over sentimentality. It’s a powerful story that presents characters whose motives change so many times it becomes impossible to judge them, »

Melanie Laurent To Star In New Adaptation Of 'Letter From An Unknown Woman' By Christian Carion
6 March 2012 8:22 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
"Inglourious Basterds" and "Beginners" made her a star stateside, but it looks like French thespian Melanie Laurent is returning home for her next project. The actress has signed on to Christian Carion's new adaptation of Stefan Zweig's "Letter From An Unknown Woman," a novel that was adapted once before with acclaim by Max Ophuls.
The story follows an author who, while reading a letter written by a woman he does not remember, gets glimpses into her life story. Ophuls' film was led by Louis Jourdan and Joan Fontaine and centered on a pianist protagonist rather than an author. It's not known how faithful Carion's adaptation will be to the novel.
Carion is also currently working on "En Mai, Fais Ce Qu'il Plait" (translated to "In May, Do What You Want To Do") which will be set around the events of May 1940 during World War II when the French »

Ten Lessons On Filmmaking From “Persepolis” Director Marjane Satrapi
5 March 2012 10:36 AM, PST | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
Director Marjane Satrapi’s freshman effort Persepolis had all the success a first film could dream of having. The animated coming-of-age tale set in Iran, directed by Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, earned the 2007 Jury Prize at Cannes, as well two César awards and an Oscar nomination. It’s a tough act to follow, but the graphic novelists turned filmmakers are back with a worthy live action film Chicken with Plums, forthcoming this summer from Sony Pictures Classics.
Add it to today’s rich catalogue of films helping change audience perceptions about Iran. Alongside this year’s Academy Award winner The Separation, other directors are revealing an Iran that is not about nuclear weapons or veils, but about day-to-day love and loss. Chicken with Plums, which received a standing ovation at Venice last year, tells the tale of a musician who choses to die after losing his perfect violin, a metaphor for his real lost love, »

Harvey Weinstein Legion of Honor
2 March 2012 4:23 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Penelope Ann Miller, The Artist As mentioned in my previous post, French president Nicolas Sarkozy has named Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company (TWC), a recipient of the 2012 Légion d'Honneur, or Legion of Honor. The honor is "in recognition of Weinstein’s contributions to cinema and his decades of work producing some of the most highly regarded films of our time," according to a TWC press release. Weinstein will be inducted with the rank of Chevalier. Although Sarkozy himself nominated Weinstein back in late July 2011, the nomination was made public only today, five days after the Weinstein Company-distributed The Artist, a French production directed by Michel Hazanavicius, won five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor (Jean Dujardin). As per the TWC press release, Weinstein had requested that the honor be kept private until now "to avoid any conflict of interest" with his company's Academy Award campaign for The Artist. »

Film: Movie Review: Cirkus Columbia

A decade after No Man’s Land, Bosnian director Danis Tanovic returns to his home turf with Cirkus Columbia, set in a Yugoslavian village on the eve of the war that split the country. The coming strife, however, is mere backdrop to the story of a man returning home after decades abroad with repatriation and revenge on his mind. Miki Manojlovic, the star of Emir Kusturica’s great Underground, has not-so-patiently spent 22 years waiting for the end of Communist rule, and now that the old guard is out and his cousin is the mayor, he can’t wait to »
