Cannes 2013: For Those In Peril Review
19 May 2013 2:35 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
It is an unfortunate part of the Cannes film festival that some gems of cinema end up lost to many because they are selected in the sidebars, rather than the main selections. Logistical problems abound with the Director’s and Critic’s selections – not least that they tend to fall at the same time as Competition screenings, or that they generally play in smaller, vastly over-subscribed venues – and so many are forced to admit defeat and not see the films in question.
That goes doubly for the films when they are as good as For Those In Peril, the feature debut from Scotland’s Paul Wright. It is a stark and grim film, shot in the wonderfully atmospheric coastal village of Gourdon in Aberdeenshire, but it is a wholly gripping, and at times utterly devastating portrayal of post-trauma and grief.
The film follows Aaron (George MacKay, »

Cannes 2013: For Those In Peril Initial Reaction
18 May 2013 5:31 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
For Those In Peril, which premiered in Director's Fortnight today, continues a long tradition of a Cannes a berth for lyrical but somewhat fatalistic coming-of-age movies from Britain, this time adding a dash of magic realism. Set in a small Scottish fishing village, the film stars George MacKay – soon to be seen in Kevin Macdonald's How I Live Now and Dexter Fletcher's Sunshine On Leith – as Aaron, the sole survivor of an unexplained accident at sea that has killed a number of young men, including his beloved brother. Aaron suffers the inevitable survivor issues: wracked with guilt, he obsessively calls the coast guard and trawls the beach for proof that his brother has survived. But before terrifying his poor mother (Kate Dickie) with his increasingly erratic behaviour, Aaron strikes up a close friendship with his brother's girlfriend (Nichola Burley), which, far from giving him closure, seems actually to make things worse. »
Karen Gillan gets Hollywood makeover at Cannes
18 May 2013 6:03 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Karen Gillan has undergone a Hollywood makeover as she attends Cannes Film Festival.
The former Doctor Who star appeared in a number of shots showcasing a chic and mature style as she prepares to appear in the city for the screening of her latest project.
Gillan's feature film Not Another Happy Ending will be shown at the festival. The movie, shot late last year in Glasgow, sees the Scottish actress in the role of Jane Lockhart, a writer who is struggling to pen a second novel following the success of her first.
The film also stars Stanley Weber, BAFTA-nominated actor Iain De Caestecker, Kate Dickie and Skins star Freya Mavor. It will premiere at the 67th Edinburgh Film Festival in June, following its screenings at Cannes.
Gillan said of the movie: "The film came about when my director John McKay, back when I was working on television for We'll Take Manhattan, »
Cannes Film Review: ‘For Those in Peril’
18 May 2013 4:03 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Survivor’s guilt seeps through every pore of “For Those in Peril,” the visually arresting debut feature of Scotland’s Paul Wright (who previously directed the 2011 BAFTA-winning short “Until the River Runs Red”). Filmed wholly on location in coastal Aberdeenshire, this mythic fable, which began under the less inspired title “Seaside Stories,” spins a poetic reverie that should strike a chord with adventurous audiences who don’t mind mood over matter. The titular peril, however, also applies to any distribution partner coveting earthly rewards: Following its Cannes Critics’ Week berth, this mournful tale will need careful nurturing to succeed even as a niche item.
Flashbacks hint that Aaron (George MacKay) was already something of a misfit in his remote northern Scottish community. Now that he is the sole survivor of a fishing boat accident that claimed the lives of five men, including his own brother Michael (Jordan Young), his sense of isolation has only grown. »

Cannes 2013: For Those In Peril - first look review

The debut feature from young Brit Paul Wright richly deserves its place in the Critics Week line-up, but Wright needs to beware of cliche and superabundance
This debut feature from young British director Paul Wright concerns a disturbed young man in a remote Scottish fishing village: Aaron, played by George Mackay. He was the only person rescued alive from a craft wrecked by a catastrophic storm; the other five crew-members, including his adored elder brother Michael (Jordan Young), were drowned. It is a study in grief, pain and survivor-guilt - that is, the guilt felt by the survivor, and also that imposed on him by a community who will not forgive him for being alive while their loved ones are dead, and whose anguish gradually metamorphoses into irrational suspicion and rage. In his loneliness and misery, Aaron becomes close to Michael's fiancee (Nichola Burley) - a taboo-infringement which just intensifies the village's anger, »

Chris Fujiwara, artistic director of the festival, said of the news, “Speaking as somebody who, before coming to Scotland, knew Scotland partly through its portrayal in films, »

Game of Thrones Season Three - Episode 3 Review
16 April 2013 2:56 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Oliver Davis reviews the third episode of Game of Thrones Season Three....
Walk of Punishment.
Directed by David Benioff.
Written by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.
Those catch-ups at the start of the show are getting longer each week. Which is good, because I forget half the characters' names 20 minutes in. Mainly because they have about three different titles each.
A few changes to the world-building opening credits this week. A large cloud of black smoke currently hovers over Winterfell (or "Winterhell" as Hot Pie calls it). It's probably to do with the Stark home being burnt to the ground. That, or Melisandre's been at it again, giving birth to giant shadow assassins. And a little further down the map, we have the new Westeros-themed Mecano playset of Riverrun, where the King in the North has settled in...

Very Red-Band Trailer for James McAvoy's Filth
12 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's an insane red-band trailer for a new film called Filth, which stars James McAvoy. The trailer is most definitely Nsfw. This might just be the craziest movie that McAvoy has been a part of. The movie comes from writer-director Jon S. Baird. Here's the synopsis...
A bipolar, bigoted, junkie cop manipulates and hallucinates his way through the festive period, until he finally meets his match… himself.
Scheming Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy), a bigoted and corrupt policeman, is in line for a promotion and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Enlisted to solve a brutal murder and threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues, including Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell), Bruce sets about ensuring their ruin, right under the nose of unwitting Chief Inspector Toal. As he turns his colleagues against one another by stealing their wives and exposing their secrets, Bruce starts to lose himself in a »

Watch James McAvoy Get Dirty In Filth Trailer
11 April 2013 5:23 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Adapted from a novel whose narrator is a tapeworm gestating inside the tract of the protagonist, Filth aims to amp up the debauchery and pile on the sexual shenanigans in this latest Irvine Welsh adaptation. It’s been a long while since a novel of Welsh’s has hit the big screen and from the looks of the first red band trailer, the material has branched out further into the realm of the Scottish author’s own brand of madness.
Fellow Scotsman James McAvoy, hot off the back of two homegrown titles, Welcome To The Punch and Danny Boyle’s Trance, embodies the character of Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson for whom the title is an accurate description. The film, which has been shooting in Stirling, Scotland, tells the story of Robertson, a corrupt cop who shags, drinks, snorts and punches anything that moves. In the lead up to Christmas the »

Filth Trailer Arrives Online
11 April 2013 5:08 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
James McAvoy has recently been getting in touch with his Scottish roots onstage in Macbeth, but he's gone full Glaswegian* onscreen in Filth, as the violent, drink-addled, drug-addicted, thoroughly reprehensible Bruce Robertson, the protagonist of Irvine Welsh's story. And you can see just how far he's gone to the bad in this trailer, which is not safe for work so we've put it at the bottom of the page in case your boss looks over your shoulder. The plot sees McAvoy's corrupt, bigoted cop up for promotion, and determined to do everything possible (which in his case is quite a lot) to block the path of rival Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell) and his other colleagues. That's when he can spare time from his busy drinking / screwing / drug-snorting schedule, of course.The film also stars Eddie Marsan, Jim Broadbent, Joanne Froggatt, Shirley Henderson, Kate Dickie and Imogen Poots, and is »
Red-Band First Trailer and Poster for Filth with James McAvoy & Jamie Bell

Marking the latest big screen adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s work, Filth sees James McAvoy leading a stellar cast for writer-director Jon S. Baird’s sophomore feature.
With the film set to be released on our shores later this year, Lionsgate have debuted the first trailer, and it’s just as red-band and unsuitable for work as you’d expect from an adaptation of Welsh’s work.
