A Prophet star Tahar Rahim joins the latest resistance movie
For French film-makers, the German occupation of their country between 1940 and 1944 has been, for nearly 70 years now, fertile if painful territory, offering an ocean of stories, a multiplicity of perspectives. The latest entry in the field of the occupation movie is Free Men, which examines the hitherto overlooked story of Muslims from France's north African colonial possessions, involved in the Paris black market and the selling of forged documents, who came to transcend the enmity between Muslims and Jews in order to better aid the latter. It stars Tahar Rahim (A Prophet), as an illiterate Algerian immigrant, blackmailed by the Germans into surveilling his local mosque, who ends up shooting Nazis and collaborators in the streets – all in a war that isn't really his (and yet … as one politically clued-up Muslim co-conspirator advises him: "Today this, tomorrow Algeria").

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).

The Forgotten: Pazuzu Dans Le Metro
22 February 2012 8:47 PM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
There are multiple Fausts. Ever-multiplying, in fact, as if to outbreed all other fictional characters. The good doctor is unusual: Marlowe and Goethe's plays are both classics, and then there's Mann's novel; at least fifteen operas... In movies, Murnau rules supreme, but I like William Dieterle's The Devil and Daniel Webster just as much. René Clair's La beauté du diable is one of his best films, with Michel Simon and Gérard Philipe trading places as tempter and tempted, both utterly charming in their quite distinct ways. Sokurov just made another, well liked here at the Notebook. But for sheer visual rapture, Claude Autant-Lara's 1955 version Marguerite de la nuit takes the Technicolor cake and runs cackling all the way to perdition.
Based on a novel by author/songwriter Pierre Mac Orlan, who also provided source books for Le quai des brumes for Carné and La bandera for Duvivier, »
My French Film Festival 2012. Watch Now!
11 January 2012 3:40 PM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
From today through February 1, we're partnering with the My French Film Festival to show you ten recently released French features (first and second films) and ten French shorts. Presented by Unifrance, the festival invites you to award points to the films you like at the main site — and these points count, as six prizes will be awarded (three for features, three for shorts): the Internet Users Prize, Social Networks Prize and International Press Prize.
Outside of both competitions, we've also got a few extra presentations. The online festival was a hit around the world last year and you won't want to miss this second edition.
A few quick notes on the films, starting with the features:
Rebecca Zlotowski's Belle épine (Dear Prudence), winner of the prestigious Prix Louis Delluc for Best First Film, is "closer to a sobering character study than a classical youth film," finds Chris Cabin in Slant. »
