Olivier Assayas on Something in the Air: 'A rock concert, a party, a riot – these are the rites of passage'
16 May 2013 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Olivier Assayas's new film is set amid the fallout of the May 68 uprising and the rebellious antics of its hero recall the director's own youthful protests. He talks about adrenaline rushes and breaking rules
Olivier Assayas, the writer, director and former film critic, is truly cool. He is the maker of some of the most playful, intellectual French cinema of the past two decades. His tastes are eclectic, his skill-set vast: he can move confidently between witty romps (such as his 1996 breakthrough, Irma Vep, one of the cleverest of all films about film-making, or the techno-thriller Demonlover) and lavish, patient period pieces (Les Destinées Sentimentales) or slow-burn emotional studies (Summer Hours). His most formidable achievement is the five-and-a-half-hour Carlos, a painstaking recreation of the rise of Carlos the Jackal made for television in 2010 but mounted with a scope and handsomeness to shame any Hollywood equivalent.

Review: Something In The Air Inspires Youthful Passion And Energy
2 May 2013 8:01 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
At the outset, Olivier Assayas's Something in the Air is a biographical nostalgia piece about growing up in the aftermath of the May '68 events in France. But what it really is, is a social experiment in which 18-19 year olds, most of them first-time actors, reenact the youth of perhaps the most volatile time in contemporaneous French society, when the revolution seemed palpable. As it was revealed in my interview with Mia Hansen-Løve (director of Goodbye First Love and the current wife of Assayas), Assayas has a real knack for connecting with and getting great performances out of young actors. (Hansen-Løve herself was in Assayas's Late August, Early September when she was 17 and swears that the experience changed her life.) The French title...

Lasting Movie Review
20 January 2013 2:44 AM, PST | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Title: Lasting Director: Jacek Borcuch Starring: Jakub Gierszal, Magdalena Berus, Ángela Molina, Joanna Kulig Young love may well be the most frequent subject of fiction, be it literature, cinema, or any other medium. There is an intoxication that comes with a chance encounter or fated meeting, and, while the allure still exists, the feeling of closeness can be overwhelming. International cinema has recounted such tales recently to various extremes, from Mia Hansen-Løve’s Goodbye First Love, emphasizing the romance, to Tribeca Film Festival entry brilliantlove, which was later retitled The Orgasm Diaries, evidently emphasizing the physical passion. Jacek Borcuch’s Lasting falls somewhere else entirely, spending much more of its runtime with [ Read More ]

Notebook's 5th Writers Poll: Fantasy Double Features of 2012
9 January 2013 9:40 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Looking back at 2012 on what films moved and impressed us, it is clear that watching old films is a crucial part of making new films meaningful. Thus, the annual tradition of our end of year poll, which calls upon our writers to pick both a new and an old film: they were challenged to choose a new film they saw in 2012—in theaters or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they also saw in 2012 to create a unique double feature.
All the contributors were asked to write a paragraph explaining their 2012 fantasy double feature. What's more, each writer was given the option to list more pairings, with or without explanation, as further imaginative film programming we'd be lucky to catch in that perfect world we know doesn't exist but can keep dreaming of every time we go to the movies.
How would you program some »
