Top 20 Alternative Picks for Cannes 2012: Alice Winocour’s Augustine
15 May 2012 10:05 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Buzz: Selected as a Special Screening status for this year’s Critics’ Week, it was no secret to us that Alice Winocour was going to premiere her directorial debut at a festival that has strongly supported her as a screenwriter. Scribe for 2009′s Ordinary People, we dug her outline for 2008′s Home, which was a flawed directing outing for Ursula Meier. With a strong trio of players in Vincent Lindon, Soko and Chiara Mastroianni, we certainly think that this might announce the arrival of a new French helmer worth keeping tabs on.
Gist: Paris, winter 1885. At the Pitié -Salpêtriere Hospital, Professor Charcot is studying a mysterious illness : hysteria. Augustine, 19 years old, becomes his favorite guinea pig, the star of his demonstrations of hypnosis. The object of his studies will soon become the object of his desire… »

Beloved – review
12 May 2012 4:03 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Like his Les Chansons d'Amour, Christophe Honoré's Beloved (aka Les Bien-Aimés) is a homage to the French new wave and especially to Jacques Demy's musicals Les Parapluies de Cherbourg and Les Demoiselles de Rochefort. But the film lacks Demy's lightness and charm, as its well-heeled, beautifully dressed characters dance and sing themselves from the 1960s to 2007. They fall in love, practise a little stylish prostitution and, as the action moves from Prague to Paris to London to Montreal, they're affected by, but do not genuinely experience, the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, the Aids crisis in the 80s, and the horrors of 9/11. Catherine Deneuve is as wonderful as she was in her early films with Demy, and her screen daughter is played by her real life daughter, the enchanting Chiara Mastroianni, who like Ludivine Sagnier and Louis Garrel, starred in Les Chansons d'Amour. Those who like Beloved will file it under guilty pleasures. »

This week's new films
11 May 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Dark Shadows (12A)
(Tim Burton, 2012, Us) Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green, Chloë Grace Moretz, Jackie Earle Haley. 113 mins
Another expensive pop-gothic fantasy (remake) for Depp and Burton's gallery – how long before either they get bored or we do? This time Johnny's an effete 18th-century vampire, reawakened in 1972 to reunite with his dysfunctional Addams-like descendants and marvel at the modern world. Expect fish-out-of-water silliness, a light shade of darkness, and the usual descent into messiness.
Café De Flore (15)
(Jean-Marc Vallée, 2011, Can) Vanessa Paradis, Kevin Parent, Hélène Florent. 121 mins
Music and mystery add a great deal to this well-made emotional drama, which switches between a present-day DJ and a 1970s mother (Paradis) whose child has Down's syndrome.
Beloved (15)
(Christophe Honoré, 2011, Fra/UK/Cze) Chiara Mastroianni, Ludivine Sagnier, Catherine Deneuve. 139 mins
Using flashbacks and musical moments, Honoré tells the story of a former prostitute, her daughter and the men in their lives. »

The HeyUGuys Cinema Release Round-up : 11th May
11 May 2012 6:22 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
As expected, American Pie: Reunion had a solid first week at the box office but didn’t trouble the all-conquering Avengers at the top of the cinematic pile.
Truth be told I don’t see anything getting near the Marvel epic for another week or so yet either. It smashed the opening weekend box office record set by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in the States and unsurprisingly a sequel has been confirmed this week by the studio.
This week’s big release though should do a pretty bit of business at the box office as well with Tim Burton’s latest quirky baroque offering Dark Shadows making its arrival on the big screen.
Burton has amassed some serious box office bank with his recent offerings such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factor and Alice in Wonderland and can now pretty much do whatever he pleases in the eyes of his employers. »

This musical switches between the 60s and the present with a light and charming touch
How you react to this film by Christophe Honoré may depend on how you react to its male star Louis Garrel. For me, the brooding Garrel is pretty insufferable, but his mannerisms are at least reasonably in check here. Like Honoré's 2007 film Les Chansons d'Amour, this is a musical; it's inspired by Jacques Demy and set in the 60s and 70s as well as the present. The period contrivances help make the musical touches less coy and arch. Ludivine Sagnier and Catherine Deneuve play the same woman young and old: this is the sexually passionate Madeleine, who in the 60s goes on the game after being propositioned in the street, and marries a client: a Czech doctor played as a young man by Radivoje Bukvic – and, older, by Milos Forman. History and politics wrench them apart and their grownup daughter, »

Film Review: 'Beloved'
10 May 2012 2:06 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Prolific French director Christophe Honoré reunites with composer Alex Beaupain for yet another post-modern musical drama, Beloved (Les Bien-Aimés, 2011). Boasting an all-star French cast including Catherine Deneuve, Ludivine Sagnier, Chiara Mastroianni and Louis Garrel, as well as outsourcing talent from abroad (Czech director Milos Forman, American Paul Schneider), Honoré's latest fails to live up to its initial ambitious promise.

Close up: Gibson faces fresh anti-semitism accusation
12 April 2012 8:48 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Catch up with the last seven days in the world of film
Hollywood screenwriter Joe Eszterhas has accused Mel Gibson of anti-semitism after the actor and director, along with studio Warner Brothers, rejected his script about a famous Jewish military victory. In a letter published by American film blog The Wrap, Eszterhaus alleged that Gibson has used anti-semitic slurs around him on numerous occasions and has acted aggressively towards the screenwriter and his family.
"I've come to the conclusion that the reason you won't make 'The Maccabees' is the ugliest possible one. You hate Jews," said Eszterhaus, best known in Hollywood for writing Basic Instinct. He also said that Gibson only planned to make the film, which would track the 167Bc revolt of the Judean state against the Seleucid empire, to deflect "continuing charges of anti-Semitism which have dogged you, charges which have crippled your career".

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, »

Close up: Is Ashton Kutcher the right man for the Jobs?

Catch up with the last seven days in the world of film
Name the computer nerd who has had the biggest effect on all our lives? Yes, well, they already made a film about Mark Zuckerberg, so let's all look forward to Jobs – the forthcoming film about the late Apple supremo Steve Jobs, pioneer of the iPod, the iPad, the iMac, the iPhone and scores of other fancy-looking techware beginning with a little "i". And who in all Hollywood has been picked to impersonate one of the greatest brains ever to walk the earth? A shoo-in for that intellectual giant Ashton Kutcher, owner of the world's biggest Twitter account (or something), and veteran of such deathless cinematic masterworks as Dude, Where's My Car? ("Sweet!"). The film that will now be called The Kutcher Job is in fact one of two duelling biogs of the Apple CEO. Sony »
Sarandon Honours Deneuve As She Scoops Up Top Acting Award
3 April 2012 3:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Susan Sarandon honoured her one-time co-star Catherine Deneuve during an industry awards ceremony in New York on Monday.
The French icon was handed the prestigious Chaplin Award for her lifetime achievements at the Film Society of Lincoln Center gala and Deneuve was overwhelmed to be feted by such a large crowd.
Dead Man Walking star Sarandon stepped up to the podium to pay tribute to her longtime pal, with whom she shared several steamy sex scenes in 1983's The Hunger, and joked, "I am probably the only presenter who's actually slept with Catherine Deneuve."
Director Martin Scorsese also heaped praise on the beauty, adding, "Catherine Deneuve seems to have been made for cinema, and cinema for her. She is French cinema. She seems to be getting more adventurous every year."
Also saluting the star were her actress daughter Chiara Mastroianni and French director Francois Ozon.
The actress joins a long list of fellow Chaplin Award recipients, including screen legends Elizabeth Taylor, Alfred Hitchcock, and Sidney Poitier. »
DVD Release: Making Plans for Lena
3 April 2012 1:29 PM, PDT | Disc Dish | See recent Disc Dish news »
DVD Release Date: July 10, 2012
Price: DVD $29.99
Studio: Zeitgeist/KimStim
Chiara Mastroianni (r.) ties to make it work with Louis Garrel in Making Plans for Lena.
Chiara Mastroianni (Park Benches), Marie-Christine Barrault (Cousin Cousine) and Louis Garrel (The Dreamers) star in the 2009 French film drama Making Plans for Lena, directed by acclaimed auteur Christophe Honoré (Love Songs).
But it’s not all that easy: From the moment she arrives in Brittany, she is confronted with unwanted advice from her overly critical mother (Barrault) and pregnant sister (Marina Fois), character analysis (that borders on character assassination) and a few other unexpected surprises. But that’s what family is all about, right…?
Making Plans for Lena arrives on DVD following its well-received theatrical release in France, screenings at film festivals around the world and a limited theatrical run in theaters in the U.S. in August, 2010.
Presented in French with optional English subtitles, »

As part of a moving tribute Monday at Alice Tully Hall in New York, the Film Society of Lincoln Center bestowed its 39th annual Charlie Chaplin Award for Lifetime Achievement to French screen legend Catherine Deneuve. Deneuve flew in from France for the ceremony.

David Lynch prepares to unleash his surreal debut pop promo, while Catherine Deneuve and daughter reveal their love for Boots the chemist
Lynch mob
David Lynch has made his first pop promo – and it's possibly the weirdest, angriest video of all time. The director of Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks released an album, Crazy Clown Time, last year, and its two previous singles, "I Know" and "Good Day Today", had videos directed by other people, submitted through online competitions a nd judged by Lynch and his UK music label, Rob da Bank's Sunday Best recordings. However, for the next single (the album's title track) Lynch has decided to take charge himself.
The result is as bizarre and unsettling as you'd hope. It shows a group of young people trying to have a good time in a backyard but instead creating a nightmare scenario of topless women having beer poured »

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 »
Daily Briefing. Godard: New Films, New Interview
30 January 2012 12:56 PM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Jean-Luc Godard and Marcel Ophüls evidently covered quite a lot of ground in two public discussions that took place in 2002 and 2009, now collected in Dialogues sur le cinéma, a book published in France last week. The New Yorker's Richard Brody posts a round of first impressions, noting that the two filmmakers discuss Ophüls's father, Max, the political implications of cinema and a project they considered collaborating on, either about what "Being Jewish" means (to hear Godard tell it) or about Israel and Palestine (Ophüls's understanding): "In a brief afterword, the book's editor, Vincent Lowy, explains that Godard wrote to Ophüls in January, 2010, proposing a specific three-part film: the first part directed by Ophüls; the second part, Godard's response; the third, Ophüls's response to Godard's response. 'Jean-Luc Godard even specified, in this letter, the title that he'd have given the film: Adieu au langage.' That is, of course, »
Raúl Ruiz Homage, Aki Kaurismäki Booed: Rotterdam Film Festival 2012

Raúl Ruiz The International Film Festival Rotterdam (Iffr) will be paying tribute to Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz, who died in August at age 70, with a screening of his first film, La Maleta (1963) and one of his last, Ballet Aquatique (2011), at 8 p.m. tomorrow, Jan. 31. Among those expected to reminisce about Ruiz are actor Melvil Poupaud, producer François Margolin, Australian journalist and "Ruiz expert" Adrian Martin, and former Iffr director Simon Field. Ruiz's widow, film editor Valeria Sarmiento, was invited to the Rotterdam film festival, but she had to decline because she is currently directing Lines of Wellington, which was to have been her deceased husband's next project. Much like Ruiz's Mysteries of Lisbon, the historical drama is to be released both as a feature and as a television miniseries. Set at the time of one of the various Napoleonic Wars, when French forces tried to invade Portugal, Lines of Wellington »
