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). Also: Claude Autant-Lara (Occupe-toi d’Amelie, »

Chiara Mastroianni: I only saw my parents together on screen
10 April 2012 1:56 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Her father, Marcello Mastroianni, was Italy's biggest film star, while her mother, Catherine Deneuve, was the queen of French cinema. As her latest film is released, Chiara Mastroianni reveals the artistic secrets she inherited from Europe's golden couple
When you've grown up as the daughter of not one but two screen icons, you might be fed up with talking about how great your parents are. Especially when you're in the same business. Not so with Chiara Mastroianni. "I hate talking about myself," the actor tells me very early into our interview. "So, you know, I can just bury all that quite easily. If someone wants to know about my mother and father, I tell them – everyone thinks they know them better than I do anyway."
In mainland Europe that may be true, though they are perhaps less revered in modern-day Britain. Mastroianni's parents are Catherine Deneuve, still the grande dame of the French screen, »

Rendez-Vous With French Cinema 2012
3 March 2012 4:46 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
"As the annual Rendez-Vous With French Cinema series begins in New York City [today] with a screening of the blockbuster Intouchables, France's film industry is jubilant," begins Stephen Holden in the New York Times, and of course, what he's referring to first is the nearly absolute domination of The Artist throughout the just-passed awards season. Secondly, he's referring to the opening night film, "an interracial buddy comedy that has grossed nearly $240 million. It is now the second-highest-grossing French movie ever (behind Welcome to the Sticks). It's also "a crass escapist comedy that feels like a Gallic throwback to an 80s Eddie Murphy movie."
Variety's Jill Goldsmith reports that, just in time for the Us premiere, Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the xenophobic National Front party has said, "'It would be a disaster if France were to find itself in the same situation' as the wealthy crippled Frenchman »

‘Impardonnables’, despite some admirable qualities, is a bit of a mess
8 February 2012 9:53 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Impardonnables (English title: Unforgivable)
Directed by André Téchiné
Written by André Téchiné and Mehdi Ben Attia
France, 2011
French director and screenwriter André Téchiné has had a long and illustrious career, earning critical acclaim for a great variety of films. His works date as far back as 1969, the year he released his debut, Aline s’en va. Among the common threads which tie in his works are the complicated interactions and strained relationships between his characters, who are continuously confronted with emotional challenges they would much rather not deal with. The wealth they sometimes possess is belittled in the face of various interpersonal hardships. Another is that he adapts almost exclusively original scripts, oftentimes playing a major role in the writing process. For Impardonnables, his latest feature film, the inspiration differs, for it is based on a novel of the same name from Philippe Dijan. Dealing with a vastly different screenwriting process, »

7 February 2012 2:03 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
The 17th edition of Rendez-Vous with French Cinema, presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and Unifrance Films, will open on March 1 with Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano's The Intouchables (Intouchables), "an unprecedented box-office phenomenon in France, where it shattered records to become the second most successful French film of all time." Back in November, John Lichfield and Agnès Poirier floated theories as to why in the Independent and Guardian, respectively. The festival closes on March 11 with David and Stéphane Foenkinos's Delicacy, featuring Audrey Tautou, and in between, there'll be over two dozen New York premieres, new work by André Téchiné, Benoît Jacquot and Alain Cavalier, and the Centerpiece: Pathé's newly restored version of Marcel Carné's Children of Paradise (1945). I posted a roundup in November when the restoration hit London.
