Screen Legend Danielle Darrieux Turns 95
2 May 2012 10:42 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Danielle Darrieux, La Ronde Screen legend Danielle Darrieux turned 95 yesterday, May 1. The Bordeaux-born (1917) Darrieux probably has had the longest "film-star" career ever: eight decades, from Wilhelm Thiele’s Le Bal (1931) to Denys Granier-Deferre’s Pièce montée / The Wedding Cake (2010). Absurdly, despite a prestigious career consisting of more than 100 films, Darrieux has never won an Honorary Oscar — but then again, very few women have. However, she did receive an Honorary César back in 1985. Additionally, Darrieux, along with her fellow 8 femmes / 8 Women co-stars, shared Best Actress honors at the European Film Awards and the Berlin Film Festival. Danielle Darrieux has been directed by many of the world’s top filmmakers, among them Max Ophüls (La Ronde, The Earrings of Madame de…, Le Plaisir), Billy Wilder (Mauvaise graine), François Ozon (the aforementioned 8 Women), Anatole Litvak (Mayerling), and Henri Decoin (Beating Heart, Her First Affair, The Case of Poisons).

Diane Kruger Makes Her Latest Debut as Marie Antoinette in Paris
15 March 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Diane Kruger attended the premiere of her movie Les adieux à la reine, or Farewell, My Queen, in Paris this evening with her costars Léa Seydoux and Virginie Ledoyen. Diane wore a lace, collared dress by one of her favorite designers, Derek Lam, for the occasion. The actress's latest film features her as Marie Antoinette and will open in select theaters stateside on March 21. Diane made the trip to France following a recent stay in La, during which she attended the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty solo and was spotted getting domestic the following week, running some dressed-down errands. The French premiere of her period film follows the Berlin Film Festival debut in early February. Farewell, My Queen will be Diane's first movie to hit American theaters since the thriller Unknown, which came out in February of last year and starred Diane opposite Liam Neeson and January Jones.

Watch: French Nsfw Trailer & 2 Clips From 'Farewell, My Queen' Starring Diane Kruger & Lea Seydoux
23 February 2012 8:22 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
You can imagine the boardroom pitch can't you? "It's the story of Marie Antoinette...but with some girl on girl action." Well, according to our review at Berlinale 2012, the introduction of lesbianism into the tale of France's tragic queen is to no great effect. In fact, the verdict was that it was "overwrought and strangely lacking in drama, staggering under the deadening weight of an uninvolving central character." Well now comes the chance to start forming your own opinions after taking a look at a Nsfw trailer and two clips from the film starring Diane Kruger, Lea Seydoux and Virginie Ledoyen. Oh, there's just one small problem though -- they're all in French. If you speak French then you're in luck (and please don't hesitate to tell us whether they're actually any good in the comments section below) but if not, then why not join me in looking at the pretty sets and costumes. »

Berlinale 2012. Benoît Jacquot's "Farewell, My Queen"
11 February 2012 11:06 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
It'll do. As the Opening Night film of the 62nd Berlinale, Benoît Jacquot's Farewell, My Queen has just enough star power (Diane Kruger as Marie Antoinette, Léa Seydoux — looking at times for all the world like a French Scarlett Johansson — as her reader, Sidonie Laborde, Virginie Ledoyen as the Queen's favorite, Gabrielle de Polignac, Noémie Lvovsky as the first lady-in-waiting, Jeanne Campan, and Xavier Beauvois as Louis XVI), Euro cred and thematic relevance to a few motifs running through this year's edition (the Arab Spring — Death for Sale, The Reluctant Revolutionary, Words of Witness, In the Shadow of a Man, all screening in the Panorama section — and Occupy Wall Street, by way of the "anti-globalization" protests in Genoa 2001 (Diaz - Don't Clean Up This Blood, Panorama Special); there's even an undercurrent of the queer electricity that's Panorama's stock and trade), that it'll do.
