The Internship socks After Earth
16 June 2013 5:46 PM, PDT | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »
Faced with a choice between a post-Apocalyptic science-fiction thriller and a broad American comedy last weekend, Australian cinemagoers chose the latter.
The Internship, the Googleplex-set caper starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, raked in $2.3 million in its opening frame, beating After Earth, the father-and-son survival saga featuring Will Smith and Jaden Smith, which made $1.8 million.
That was a reversal of their Us debuts where the M. Night Shyamalan-directed After Earth fetched $27.5 million- a mediocre result for a film that cost $130 million- and The Internship collected $17.3 million.
One Australian exhibitor had a hunch the comedy with two popular actors would resonate more strongly than the sci-fi film which he derided as boring. That.s another dud for the director after The Last Airbender.
Neither opener could match the second weekend of Fast & Furious 6, which has amassed $20 million so far, or the third frame of The Great Gatsby, which has earned $19 million. »

Audrey Tautou interview: Ingénue, moi?
1 June 2013 12:27 PM, PDT | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »
Last week the Cannes film festival closed as it began, with one of the most famous faces in France acting as maîtresse de cérémonie. Unlike other festivals, which tend to employ pretty (and, often, vacant) TV presenters to helm their opening and awards ceremonies, Cannes characteristically aims higher, at film stars with a bit of class. Jeanne Moreau was the first, setting the bar high; Audrey Tautou seemed a perfect fit. »
‘Young and Beautiful’ Actress Marine Vacth: International Star You Should Know
15 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Claim To Fame
In Francois Ozon’s competition contender “Young and Beautiful,” 22-year-old Marine Vacth may be as enigmatic as her character, a well-to-do young woman who finds pleasure in sharing intimate moments with complete strangers. A top model who’s lined up contracts with a number of fashion designers — from Chloe to Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent — Vacth, a native of Lyon, decided to shake up her smooth, cool image by taking the lead role in a film that raises disturbing questions about teenage sexuality.
Ozon’s pic is the first for Vacth. But even before the film was selected for Cannes, Vacth was on every discerning talent agents’ hot list; she’s now repped by Gaul’s biggest talent agency, Artmedia. The tyro thesp said she was drawn to acting after experiencing the rush of working on Cedric

A Lady in Paris Movie Review
19 April 2013 3:54 AM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Title: A Lady in Paris Director: Ilmar Raag Starring: Jeanne Moreau, Laine Mägi, Patrick Pineau ‘An Estonian Woman in Paris’ would have been the literal and more appropriate title for the movie ‘A Lady in Paris.’ That is probably the only fault – imputable to foreign translators – that may be found in the delicate story of the Estonian media executive, screenwriter and film director, Ilmar Raag. The Baltic woman who goes to Paris is Anne (Laine Mägi). She moves to the French capital to take care of Frida (Jeanne Moreau), an elderly Estonian lady who emigrated to France long ago. But Anne will soon realise that all Frida wants from [ Read More ]

Cigar-Smoking Montiel: Husbands and Lovers from James Dean to Nobel Winner
9 April 2013 7:04 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Most recent film appearances, plus concert and television work Please check out our previous post: "Montiel La Violetera and Pedro Almodóvar Icon." Her last star vehicle of note was Juan Antonio Bardem's Varietés (1971), a melodrama about an aging actress who continues to dream of becoming a bona fide star. [Please scroll down to listen to Montiel's husky rendition of "Amado mío."] The forty-something hopeful eventually gets her chance at stardom, but it all turns out to be a flash in the pan. By then, following a whole array of formulaic romantic musical melodramas, Montiel's box-office allure had waned rather radically. She turned down roles in Spain's cine del destape -- post-Franco softcore comedies -- which eventually meant the demise of her movie career. Her last official star vehicle was Pedro Lazaga's comedy Cinco almohadas para una noche ("Five Cushions for One Night," 1974) -- though she would be seen in Eduardo Manzanos Brochero's That's Entertainment-like compilation feature Canciones de nuestra »

They might live in your home, but they're not part of the family. They know more about you than any of your acquaintances, but you wouldn't call them friends. They care for your most treasured possessions, or they care for your greatest treasure of all – your children – but they're not accorded the admiration of a person who owns fine things, or the respect of a parent.

Veteran Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro, best known around the world for her performance as a bitter old hag in Walter Salles' 1998 drama Central Station, which earned her a Best Actress Oscar nod, kissed fellow veteran performer Camila Amado in the mouth at Rio de Janeiro's Theater Producers Association Awards ceremony, which took place in that Brazilian city this past Monday, March 25. (Pictured above: Montenegro kissing Amado.) The mouth-to-mouth kiss between the 83-year-old Montenegro and the 77-year-old Amado, followed a previous "gay kiss" also staged at the awards show -- that one between performers Ricardo Blat and Tonico Pereira.

Wes Anderson Selects Louis Malle's 'The Fire Within' for Carte-Blanche Programming Screening at Col*Coa 2013
6 March 2013 11:41 AM, PST | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
La's 17th annual City of Lights, City of Angels French film festival (Col*Coa) has given director Wes Anderson carte-blanche to program one of his favorite French films. No surprise here, Anderson's taste is impeccable: He has selected Louis Malle's 1963 lyrical depression drama "The Fire Within." The film is based on the novel by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, source material that also inspired last year's festival favorite "Oslo, August 31." It stars Maurice Ronet (also in Malle's "Elevator to the Gallows") and French New Wave legend Jeanne Moreau. (For more evidence of Anderson's cinephile leanings, check out his Top 10 for Criterion here.) Moreau is highlighted in another Col*Coa repertory pick for the upcoming 2013 fest, Jacques Demy's resplendent "Bay of Angels," about a duo of star-crossed lovers caught in the glittery world of Mediterranean casinos. It will screen in a restored 35mm print. The fest runs April 15-22. Info on screening dates, »

Marion Cotillard Becomes a French Maid In Diary Of A Chambermaid
15 February 2013 11:43 AM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Give Marion Cotillard the award for being one of the more interesting actresses to hit screens in recent years. Ever since her Oscar-winning turn as Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, Cotillard has at least been on my radar. She’s done some very interesting roles, from playing John Dillinger’s moll in Public Enemies, to her turns in small films like Rust & Bone and even bigger films like The Dark Knight Rises. Now she returns to her native country in a new adaptation of Octave Mirbeau’s novel Diary Of A Chambermaid.
Diary Of A Chambermaid follows the life of Celestine, a young woman who works as a chambermaid for wealthy families at the end of the 19th Century. The current production is slated to be directed by Benoit Jacquot, who also did last year’s period-piece Farewell, My Queen, about the last days of Marie Antoinette. That »

Cotillard in line for Diary of a Chambermaid
15 February 2013 8:08 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Star of La Vie En Rose set to play lead role in Benoit Jacquot's forthcoming remake of classic French tale
Marion Cotillard is in talks to play the lead in a forthcoming remake of the classic French tale Diary of a Chambermaid for director Benoit Jacquot, according to Variety.
Octave Mirbeau's 1900 novel, a critique of bourgeois France's fondness for domestic servants, has been the basis of two films, a 1946 English-language version by director Jean Renoir that starred Paulette Goddard and relocated the story to Hollywood, and a 1964 French-Italian production from Luis Buñuel that featured Jeanne Moreau in the lead.
Cotillard is in line to play Celestine, an ambitious young chambermaid who struggles to cope with the eccentricities and perversions of her wealthy yet appalling employers. First published in serial form at the time of the famous Alfred Dreyfus affair, which crystallised liberal and rightwing attitudes in fin-de-siècle France, Mirbeau's »

Marion Cotillard To Lead Diary Of A Chambermaid

Rust and Bone star Marion Cotillard, largely ignored by the Academy Awards, is now in talks to topline Benoit Jacquot‘s Diary of a Chambermaid (Le Journal d’une femme de chambre), based on Octave Mirbeau‘s classic novel. Mirbeau’s erotic 19th century novel has been adapted before – in 1946, Jean Renoir directed Paulette Goddard in a Hollywood-set makeover; and in 1964, Luis Bunuel directed Jeanne Moreau in a French-Italian adaptation. Cotillard will take the lead role of Celestine a young and ambitious woman who works as a chambermaid for wealthy families through whose eyes we see the perversions within France’s upper-class society at the turn of »

Emmanuelle Riva, 85, star of Amour, tells of her extraordinary life
10 February 2013 12:00 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The classic French film has made leading lady Emmanuelle Riva famous again. She is treating her acclaim with Gallic disdain…
Emmanuelle Riva is not given to sentimental nonsense. Finding herself an international star at 85, however, does have a fairytale element about it, admits the surprise star of the surprise hit French film Amour.
"This film is such a wonderful, marvellous, extraordinary gift. I cannot tell you how happy I am. Completely happy," Riva says. "The whole thing is like a fairytale. Everybody knows there are very few roles for older actresses. Almost none, in fact. And that is what makes all this so exceptional."
Riva will not be at the Bafta awards ceremony at the Royal Opera House in London on Sunday, where she is nominated for a best actress award. She is saving herself for the Gallic equivalent, the Césars, in a fortnight. Then the Oscars – on the day of her 86th birthday – beckon. »

Emmanuelle Riva: the 85-year-old French actor making Oscar history
6 February 2013 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Amour star who first captivated audiences in the 1950s is oldest acting nominee at Academy awards
Death shall have no dominion over Emmanuelle Riva, the French actor – and sometime poet – who we see winding down quite brilliantly over the course of Michael Haneke's harrowing Amour. "I can't go on," murmurs her character, Anne, as she finds herself unpicked by a series of strokes and retires to the confines of her book-lined Paris apartment.
The drama ushers her towards the deathbed and then beyond – all the way to the gaudy paradise of this month's Bafta and Oscar ceremonies. If such a thing as life after death exists, it can be found at the Royal Opera House in London on Sunday and the Dolby theatre in Hollywood two weeks later.
The success of Amour (in general) and Riva (in particular) has caught Oscar pundits flat-footed: a topsy-turvy development for an industry »

Trailers from Hell: Joe Dante on 'The Trial,' Which Orson Welles Called "the greatest film I ever made"
18 January 2013 7:59 AM, PST | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Orson Welles Week! concludes at Trailers from Hell with Tfh creator Joe Dante introducing Welles' 1962 mindbender "The Trial," starring Anthony Perkins, Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider and the director himself. Franz Kafka's 1925 novel about an office clerk who is arrested for a crime that is never revealed to him becomes a nightmarish black comedy in Orson Welles' memorable adaptation. Baroque, surreal and graphically striking, it plays like a two hour dream sequence. Essential Welles. The full film can be seen in okay quality here. »

DVD Release: Beyond the Clouds
4 January 2013 2:52 PM, PST | Disc Dish | See recent Disc Dish news »
DVD Release Date: Feb. 26, 2013
Price: DVD $29.95
Studio: Olive Films
Kim Rossi-Stuart (l.) and Inés Sastre enjoy each other's company in Beyond the Clouds.
Legendary filmmakers Michelangelo Antonioni (I Vinti) and Wim Wenders (Pina) teamed up to create the 1995 drama-romance film Beyond the Clouds.
Co-written by Antonioni, Wenders and Tonino Guerra and directed by Antonioni, Beyond the Clouds, told from the dreamlike perspective of a wandering film director (portrayed by Secretariat‘s John Malkovich), weaves together four stories of love and lust, inspired by Antonioni’s book about the enigmatic power of modern relationships.
Taking place in Ferrara, Portofino, Aix en Provence and Paris, each story–which always has a woman at its center–turns inwards in its examination of love. Or, as the late Antonioni put it, the stories turn “towards the true image of that absolute and mysterious reality that nobody will ever see.” Er, okay….
