Underground Film Links: December 26, 2010
26 December 2010 6:00 AM, PST | Bad Lit | See recent Bad Lit news »
Welcome to the last Underground Film Links post of 2010. I started this feature this year and it quickly became one of the most popular destinations on the site. Keep those great links coming in 2011!
Squeaking in under the wire, Wreck and Salvage’s Aaron Valdez comes up with the quote of the year, perhaps the quote of the century: “Who the f*** is Stan Brakhage compared to Charlie Chainsaw?” I’ve long felt the same thing, but have failed to put it quite so eloquently. Just to be clear: I am 100% absolutely not kidding. A big, special Bad Lit congrats to Andrea Grover, the new curator at the Parrish Art Museum in Sag Harbor, NY! I totally screwed up and forgot to post the news earlier that the always incredibly awesome Ata Film & Video Festival in San Francisco had a special touring program screen all the way over in Hong Kong earlier this month. »

DVDs that shaped 2010: World cinema DVDs
25 December 2010 4:00 PM, PST | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »
The French New Wave is not so new any more, but it has had a resurgence with the DVD issue of films from Agnès Varda's real-time Cleo from 5 to 7 to Eric Rohmer's classic morality tale My Night with Maud, via two suspense-filled volumes of Claude Chabrol thrillers and one collection of Alain Resnais's dissections of love. »
Turner Classic Movies Remembers 2010
13 December 2010 6:35 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Turner Classic Movies have released their annual celebration of the lives of those Hollywood greats we sadly lost over the past 12 months, and once again they have outdone themselves with a heartfelt tribute that each year seems to overshadow the Academy’s similar effort.
We’ve lost a lot of greats this year, and in Dennis Hopper, Dino De Laurentiis, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer and Tony Curtis, some real giants of cinema. Also, who can watch Airplane now knowing Peter Graves and Leslie Nielsen are gone?
TCM Remembers 2010 from TCMOnAir on Vimeo.
The song in the tribute is “Headlights” by Sophia Hunger. Thanks to The Playlist for the heads-up. »

Jennifer Jason Leigh To Divorce Director Noah Baumbach
24 November 2010 8:00 AM, PST | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Jennifer Jason Leigh is divorcing director Noah Baumbach after five years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. They didn’t disagree on film projects, though—Leigh starred in both his 2007 film Margot At The Wedding (which earned her an Independent Spirit Award) and Greenberg, released last March. Also released in March was their infant son Rohmer (named after French director Eric Rohmer, of course), whom Leigh will be seeking primary custody of. If Greenberg winds up with some nods this trophy season, things could get just a little awkward.

Plot Details On Michael Haneke's 'These Two' With Isabelle Huppert, Shooting Starts In February
23 November 2010 9:54 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Earlier this month, we brought you the news that Michael Haneke is reteaming with Isabelle Huppert (”The Piano Teacher,” “Time of the Wolf”) and French icon Jean-Louis Trintignant (Bernardo Bertolucci‘s “The Conformist,” Eric Rohmer‘s “My Night at Maud’s,” Claude Chabrol‘s “Les Biches” to name just a few classics) for a brutal-sounding story about the agony of aging, titled “These Two.” The picture, first announced late last year, put on the backburner and now headed into production, has been a bit of a mystery with previous descriptions of the film describing it as an exploration of the “humiliation of the physical… »
The Darjeeling Limited Criterion Blu-ray Review
14 November 2010 4:55 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It seems the Criterion Collection will not rest until every Wes Anderson film is under their banner, and with their release of The Darjeeling Limited, they are one title away from having all of his films in their collection. Few modern filmmakers seem to have pursued this goal, and few modern filmmakers seem as deserving. And yet The Darjeeling Limited strikes as a transitional work, a filmmaker trying to re-find his voice after having gone through a cycle of films that worked through the main concerns of a filmmaker. The film stars Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson and co-screenwriter Jason Schwartzman as three brothers on a spiritual quest in India to find themselves (and their mother) after their father has passed away. My review of The Darjeeling Limited on Blu-ray after the jump.
At the beginning, Wes Anderson seemed the most original of the heist movie filmmakers. Even more so than »

Exclusive: Michael Haneke Rebooting 'These Two' With Isabelle Huppert, Will Shoot In 2011
10 November 2010 7:09 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Our favorite Austrian director has been toying with a new project lately, but the usually authoritative filmmaker has been waffling a bit this time. After winning the Palme D'Or for the black-and-white intro to fascism "The White Ribbon," Michael Haneke announced that he would reunite with great French thespian Isabelle Huppert ("The Piano Teacher," "Time of the Wolf") and French icon Jean-Louis Trintignant (Bertolucci's "The Conformist," Eric Rohmer's "My Night at Maud's," Claude Chabrol's "Les Biches" to name just a few classics) in a brutal-sounding story about the agony of aging titled "These Two." Excitement rose, but then quickly deflated:… »

Godard Will Miss the Academy's Governors Awards
25 October 2010 11:02 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
The Academy confirms that filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard will not be making the trek across the pond to attend the November 13 Governor's Awards at the Kodak Theatre. Last year, when ailing John Calley couldn't accept the Thalberg award, a heavyweight roster of past winners turned up to honor him, including Steven Spielberg, Dino De Laurentiis, Norman Jewison and Warren Beatty. Who will honor Godard? Gone are Eric Rohmer, Francois Truffaut, Samuel Fuller, Juliet Berto, Eddie Constantine, Akim Tamiroff, Jean-Claude Brialy, Suzanne Schiffman, Yves Montand, Norman Mailer, Burgess Meredith and Jean Seberg. But over the decades Godard worked with an amazing range of international collaborators who are still around. I'd love to see Jeanne Moreau, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Anna Karina, Pierre Rissient, Claude Chabrol, Raoul Coutard. Michel »
Lff 2010: What I Love the Most
24 October 2010 6:23 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Craig reporting from the London Film Festival.
Argentinian film editor Delfina Castagnino makes her directorial feature debut with What I Love the Most / Lo que más quiero, a slight but thoughtfully quiet film full of long takes and extended pauses. The slim plot follows Pilar, who has recently lost her father, visiting her friend Maria, who is absconding from her boyfriend. The two spend their days by nearby lakes, at gigs or on the beach, idling away the time. Pilar ties up her father’s business loose ends and Maria meets a local guy (Esteban Lamothe) who takes her mind off her relationship and the friends begin to drift apart.
What I Love is a cleanly directed, well-composed film. Each scene is clinically precise in its framing, though often deliberately askew – actors awkwardly shot from just below waist-height, tree-lined landscapes partially obscure parts of the film frame. Most shots outlast »

Viennale Kicks Off With Cannes Winner 'Of Gods and Men'
21 October 2010 1:20 PM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
It's an exhaustive look at cinema of the old, and the new in Austria's capital. Starting today, and moving into November (3rd), Vienna celebrates almost two weeks' worth of film culture via the Viennale (a.k.a. Vienna International Film Festival). Bookended by Xavier Beauvois's Of Gods and Men, which took home the Grand Prix from this year's Cannes Festival, and Pedro González-Rubio's Alamar, Tiger Awardee in Rotterdam, the non-competitive fest tries to balance fiction, documentaries and short films in its main program. World premieres of this edition stem from German primary rocks like Rudolf Thome (The Red Room) and Klaus Wyborny (Studies for the Decay of the West). Another highlight is the first showing of Houchang Allahyari's fictionalised doc Die Verrueckte Welt der Ute Bock (The Crazy World of Ute Bock), portraying everyday life of a locally famed asylum helper. However, features like Sofia Coppola's »
400 Screens, 400 Blows - Remembering Claude Chabrol
17 October 2010 2:03 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Filed under: Columns, Cinematical
When the great director Ernst Lubitsch died, a conversation was overheard at his funeral between two younger directors. The first said, sadly, "no more Lubitsch." The second said, "worse... no more Lubitsch pictures." I wonder if people aren't thinking the same thing about Claude Chabrol, the great French New Wave director who passed away last month at the age of 80? Chabrol certainly had his fans, but he was arguably the most underappreciated of all the French New Wavers.
As a film critic for Cahiers du Cinema, Chabrol developed a fondness for Alfred Hitchock and Fritz Lang, and even co-wrote (with Eric Rohmer) a book-length study on Hitchcock. His filmography, consisting of more than 50 films in 50 years, was made up mostly of suspense films. As we know, suspense films are rarely appreciated as works of art, and even though Chabrol was considered a high-class French filmmaker overall, »

Film-inspired holidays: The Journey of self-discovery

Follow this checklist if you want to follow Julia Roberts's example in Eat Pray Love
So: you're a woman of a certain age keen for an overseas jolly to enjoy some "me" time, realign your karma and cop off with a foreigner. What will you need to take with you?
Limitless cash Julia Roberts spends a whole year noshing, meditating and – frankly – shagging her way across the globe to get over her decision to dump Billy Crudup in Eat Pray Love. Her hotel rooms are palatial, her hair immaculate and her mascara high-enough quality to cope with upset in the face of extreme poverty.
Shirley Valentine can only afford her Greek odyssey through the luck and largess of her best friend; and even the ladies in Sex and the City 2 require a PR company to fund their hols to Abu Dhabi. In fact, the film was shot in »

Watch Monte Carlo or Bust! live

When we asked you which film Xan Brooks should liveblog on Thursday there was never really a contest. So what happened when Monte Carlo or Bust! aired on Channel 4 at 12:05pm?
11.58am: Welcome, welcome to Thursday's live-blog of a film off the telly. On Monday we had Michael Hann's Michelin-starred Layer Cake. Tuesday brought us Andrew Pulver's eloquent salon with The Quiet Man. Wednesday exploded and melted down as Catherine Shoard blogged K19: The Widowmaker.
Our film today, as chosen by you, is Monte Carlo or Bust! This, it transpires, was shot in 1969 by director Ken Annakin and was the sequel to his 1965 outing Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. This features cars in place of planes and was released in the Us as Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies. It stars Tony Curtis, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and Susan Hampshire.

Temptation of St. Tony, The (Püha Tõnu kiusamine) | Review
20 September 2010 6:24 AM, PDT | SmellsLikeScreenSpirit | See recent SmellsLikeScreenSpirit news »
Director: Veiko Õunpuu Writer(s): Veiko Õunpuu Starring: Taavi, Eelmaa, Ravshana Kurkova, Tiina Tauraite, Sten Ljunggren The Temptation of St. Tony opens with death -- a funeral procession to be exact. Then, a car crash; which at first seems random and absurd, but in the grand scheme of this surrealist interlocking of events it’s significance is revealed when one of the survivors of the car crash drips blood on the immaculate interior of Tony’s (Taavi Eelmaa) new Mercedes Benz. This causes Tony to drive over a black dog, which prompts Tony to discover a stash of dismembered body parts, which delivers Tony to the local police department where he meets a mysterious woman (Ravshana Kurkova). The chain of events continues for nearly two hours... Tony, the frizzy-haired manager of a local factory, waxes to tremendous existential lengths about his -- and mankind’s -- reason for being. »

Bruno Ganz To Be Honored With Lifetime Achievement Award From European Film Academy
19 September 2010 2:00 PM, PDT | CriterionCast | See recent CriterionCast news »
Best known for his now viral performance as Hitler in the brilliant Oliver Hirschbiegel film, Downfall, actor Bruno Ganz is finally about to get his day in the spotlight, thanks to the European Film Academy.
According to Anne Thompson, the actor, and star of the wonderful Wim Wenders film, Wings Of Desire, will be given a special award at the European Film Awards, when they take place on December 4.
Personally, this has been a long time coming, and something that is more than deserved. Continuing to work today in films like The Reader, the actor has a marvelous filmography, particularly the Criterion staple Wings, a powerful and visually striking film, that features a performance from Ganz that is so haunting, that it is easily one of the best that I’ve ever seen. If you haven’t given the film a chance, Wings Of Desire is an absolute must own, »

David Thomson on Claude Chabrol
16 September 2010 3:25 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Claude Chabrol is the kind of figure who could be reclaimed after death – there are some films that might look much better years later
Nearly 50 years ago, Claude Chabrol – who died last weekend – wrote an essay, Big Subjects, Little Subjects, in which he set out an attitude to movies and a guide to his own career (which had only just begun). "You can make a film about the French Revolution, or a squabble with the next-door neighbour, the apocalypse of our time or how the barmaid became pregnant, the last hours of a hero of the Resistance, or the inquest on a murdered prostitute. It's all a question of personality."
If you wanted to demonstrate this theory in defence of modesty, you could point to Madame Bovary (1991), where despite the presence of Isabelle Huppert in the title role, Chabrol seems a little overawed or diffident with the material. If only »
