John Boorman Season | Fuaim Is Solas | Rendez-Vous With French Cinema | Birds Eye View Film Festival

John Boorman Season, London

Boorman is one of those directors whose films everyone knows but whose name often gets left behind somewhere. Deliverance, for example, has become a universal point of reference for hicksville paranoia; Excalibur raised the bar for amped-up swords and sorcery movies; Hope And Glory has seeped into our collective wartime memory; Point Blank, which is going on general release, is a textbook case of how to be stylish, violent and hard-boiled. In fact, Boorman seems to have added something to every genre you can think of since he started in the 1950s, making documentaries for the BBC. Why isn't he better appreciated? He is here, at least, with a BFI Fellowship and a retrospective that includes his daughter's touching film portrait Me And Me Dad.

BFI Southbank, SE1, Sat to 30 Apr

Cohen Media Group Takes a Ride with Emmanuelle Bercot’s “On My Way”

11 February 2013 5:05 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

Cohen Media Group are making a ballsy acquisition move at this year’s Berlin Film Festival – picking up Emmanuelle Bercot’s comp film Elle S’en Va (On My Way) hours before it world premiere screening. A deal that was surely facilitated by the fact that the international sales agent Elle Driver worked with Cohen in the recent past (Farewell, My Queen was picked up last year) this dramedy stars Catherine Deneuve.

Gist: This is Bercot’s fourth feature film, co-written with Jerome Tonnere, Bettie (Deneuve) is in her early sixties. Having run out of cigarettes, she climbs into her car and drives off, leaving her mother, customers and the employees of her Breton restaurant to fend for themselves. But her search drags on. The shops are all shut and Bettie has no desire to return to her old life. She has just learned that her long-standing lover has gone off with a younger woman. »
