The Winners Announced for the 56th BFI London Film Festival 2012
20 October 2012 4:31 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The capital has been the home of some of the biggest names and films in the industry over the past ten days, and with the festival finally coming to a close tomorrow, the results are in for the official competition categories.
Sir David Hare, Tom Hiddleston, David Yates, Sebastian Faulks, Olivia Colman, Kazuo Ishiguru, and many more prominent names presided over the various Juries, and with so much talent this year, I don’t envy what must have been very difficult decisions.
Also being honoured this year are Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter, both of whom have been presented with the BFI Fellowship, the highest honour from the film institute. The former brought his latest feature, Frankenweenie, to the festival for its opening night, whilst the latter stars in Mike Newell’s Great Expectations, bookending the festival nicely as the Closing Night Film.

BFI London Film Festival 2012: 'It Was the Son' review
19 October 2012 6:26 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Based on a novel by Roberto Alaimo, It Was the Son (È stato il figlio, 2012) director Daniele Ciprì - who has previously made his name as a cinematographer work for such acclaimed filmmakers as Marco Bellocchio - gives a visually imaginative look to his new feature, utilising a stylish sheen similar in the manner of the early films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Unfortunately, It Was the Son has deep-seeded problems when it comes to its control of tone.

A couple of Italian gems along with a more sugary offering are screened at the London film festival, which this year has been reorganised by themes
For a working critic based in the capital, the London film festival is an enticing prospect — and yet a frustrating experience. The regular round of UK releases must be attended to; those films have to be reviewed (including the inevitable sprinkling of duds) and so Lff films have to be squeezed in wherever possible.
What makes it all more agonising is the fact that the Lff programme is somehow always the most mouthwatering document produced by any festival: a juicily thick brochure, packed with great stuff, and an unmissable-looking film on every page. The Lff may not have as many premieres as Toronto, Venice and Cannes, but so what? That's the sort of thing that preoccupies industry types. Regular filmgoers in London are surely »

Tiff 2012. Toronto Notes: In Search for the Italian People
11 September 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
E' stato il figlio (Daniele Ciprì) + L'Intervallo (Leonardo Di Constanzo)
Festival programming creates unexpected and unplanned dialogs between films: all in the head of the viewer, helping to meditate about "contemporary." Italian films E' stato il figlio (The Son Did It) and L'Intervallo (The Interval) are two different approaches to the search for an image for today of Italian people.
Brilliant cinematographer Daniele Ciprì became famous together with co-author/director Franco Maresco for their insolent, provocative and censorship challenging TV programs and films. Deeply rooted in their Sicilian background and culture, keen on "bad taste," "freaks" and politically incorrect statements, the two mavericks have been a creative breath in Italian production of the 90s. The team is not a team anymore. Ciprì alone here adapts for the screen a successful 2005 giallo by Roberto Alajmo, a story of greed, oppression and submission set in a poor neighborhood of Palermo.
