Inside Llewyn Davis - first look review

The best of the fest so far sees the Coen brothers meditate on mediocrity and modernity in the 1960s New York folk scene – but not be so sombre as to forget the laughs
Cannes audiences just heard a clean, hard crack: the sound of the Coen brothers hitting one out of the park. Their new film is brilliantly written, terrifically acted, superbly designed and shot; it's a sweet, sad, funny picture about the lost world of folk music which effortlessly immerses us in the period.
The musical interludes are stunningly achieved: a pastiche chart single about President Kennedy and the moon mission brought the crowd I was among close to bopping in the aisles. This has something of Woody Allen movies like Sweet and Lowdown and Broadway Danny Rose; there's a playful allusion to Breakfast at Tiffany's and even a weird casting echo of Walter Salles's On the Road »

Cannes Film Festival 2013: 'The Great Gatsby' review
16 May 2013 1:51 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Everyone understands that a Baz Luhrmann film - from the imagination that brought us Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and Australia - means bucket-loads of excess, indulgence and, once upon a time, fun. The collective breath was duly drawn when his plans to tackle F. Scott Fitzgerald's tight novel of disappointment and decadence, The Great Gatsby, was first announced - and the results are predictably underwhelming. There's a lot of noise, music, colour and syncopation as Luhrmann transforms the Jazz Age into the kind of theme party that would get Rhu Paul asking discretely that the music be turned down.
Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) is a used-up young man recovering at some form of facility complete with drifting snow. As part of the talking cure (then, writing cure), he narrates how he came to his present state. Once a bright-eyed go-getter with aspirations of being a writer, Carraway »

Cannes Film Festival Opening: A ‘Great’ Evening
15 May 2013 11:51 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
There was plenty of Baz-razzmatazz as the 66th Cannes Film Festival bowed with a mix of fun, lofty hopes and melancholy that F. Scott Fitzgerald would have appreciated.
In the spirit of opener “The Great Gatsby,” a troupe of dancers dressed in 1920s-style outfits burst out of a period car and performed a dance on the red carpet.
Throngs of fans lined the road to the Palais, where the stars of Warner Bros.’ “Gatsby” elicited screams and cheers, and big names glamming it up on the red carpet included Julianne Moore, Freida Pinto, Lana Del Rey, Florence Welch, Nicole Kidman, Cindy Crawford, Fan Bingbing, Ludivine Sagnier, Zhang Ziyi, Walter Salles, Michel Piccoli, Agnes Varda and Roskino CEO Katya Mtsitouridze. France’s Minister of Culture Aurelie Filipetti and Venice Film Festival topper Alberto Barbera were also in attendance.

Wme Signs ‘Maleficent’s Sam Riley
26 April 2013 9:34 AM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: The client-signing game has been voracious lately, but sometimes it’s not about poaching the big names but betting on the ones that might be big down the line. Wme feels that way about Sam Riley, whom the agency just signed. Riley plays one of the leads opposite Angelina Jolie in Maleficent and in Neil Jordan’s Byzantium. He initially garnered attention for his portrayal of Ian Curtis in Control, which got him named Most Promising Newcomer at the British Independent Film Awards. He earned a BAFTA nom for Rising Star and most recently was seen in the ensemble of the Walter Salles-directed On The Road. He continues to be repped by Tavistock Wood in the UK. »

Jeff Nichols On Following Up 'Take Shelter' With 'Mud': "It moves unlike anything else I've made."
25 April 2013 9:59 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Editor's Note: This interview originally ran prior to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, where "Mud" world premiered. It opens in select theaters April 26. At 33, "Mud" writer/director Jeff Nichols is the youngest filmmaker in competition for the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The Little Rock native slayed festivalgoers with his critically acclaimed 2007 domestic drama "Shotgun Stories" and reteamed with that film's star, Michael Shannon, to deliver "Take Shelter," an apocalyptic thriller that premiered at Sundance 2011, landed a home at Sony Pictures Classics and won both the Critics' Week Grand Prize and the Fipresci award at last year's Cannes. With his latest film "Mud," a western coming-of-age tale starring Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, Nichols skipped past Cannes' Un Certain Regard sidebar to land a coveted spot in the Competition, alongside such revered auteurs as Michael Haneke, David Cronenberg, Walter Salles and Abbas »

31 March 2013 7:04 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
1998 Best Actress Academy Award nominee stages a political protest -- a 'lesbian kiss' -- at an awards ceremony in Rio de Janeiro Forget Madonna and Britney Spears, Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep, Bullock and Scarlett Johansson, and Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. 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. All that kissing wasn't intended to merely liven up »

Drinking, Dancing and Prostitutes in Exclusive Clip from 'On the Road'
26 March 2013 12:46 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I saw Walter Salles' On the Road at the Cannes Film Festival almost a year ago. Since then, he edited the film before it made its Toronto Film Festival debut after which it was released in four theaters on December 21. It added two theaters in the first weekend in January and quietly added 33 more the weekend of March 22. The film will expand to approximately 100 screens this weekend (find one near you here) and just yesterday it became available on Video On Demand (VOD). To go along with the small screen release, they've sent me an exclusive clip from the film which stars Garret Hedlund, Sam Riley and Kristen Stewart among many others. The film is an adaptation of Jack Keroac's novel of the same name and features Hedlund as Dean Moriarty and Riley as Kerouac's alter ego, Salvatore Paradise.

Film Review: Visceral ‘On the Road’ Honors a Great American Novel
23 March 2013 5:06 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The 1957 novel “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac, was a missile across the bow of American social conventions, and a precursor to the radical 1960s. For over fifty years, it has eluded a film adaptation, until director Walter Salles (“The Motorcycle Diaries”) found the way to capture it.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
It is a reverential depiction, with all the familiar characters from the novel springing to life. And that is the key word here…life. This adaptation is life itself, which is what the novel embraces. Somehow, by just indulging in the characters and their lifeblood, Walter Salles – in partnership with his screenwriter Jose Rivera – was able to understand what makes this story tick. It is about youth, discovery and the consequences regarding all of that. It is about the relationship between two kindred souls, not part of a lost generation, but part of everything that is discovered when challenging the society they are born into. »

Interview: Director Walter Salles Takes Us ‘On the Road’
20 March 2013 8:44 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – One of most important counterculture novels in American literature history is “On the Road,” by Jack Kerouac. First published in 1957, the film rights were purchased at the time, but it took over fifty more years to get it onto the screen. Director Walter Salles (“The Motorcycle Diaries”) took on the adaptation.
The history of adapting the book to film is as much of a journey as the characters take in the story. After late 1950s Hollywood couldn’t interpret the radical morality in the book (Marlon Brando was attached to play the lead role at one point), and the rights were reacquired by Francis Ford Coppola in the late 1970s. Problems with several screenplay versions occurred, and it wasn’t until the mid-2000s that the team that produced “The Motorcycle Diaries” – screenwriter Jose Rivera and director Walter Salles – took their own journey with the classic novel, and the »

Exclusive Clip: "On the Road" Gay Kiss
19 March 2013 5:02 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road was completed in 1951, first published in 1957... and it finally got a film adaptation, arriving in U.S. movie theaters this Friday (with VOD premiere the following Monday).
Directed by Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries, Dark Water), this indie film has received a lot of press attention because it's Kristen Stewart's first post-Twilight project.
From the press materials...
On The Road tells the provocative story of Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young writer whose life is shaken and ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a free-spirited, fearless, fast talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou (Kristen Stewart). Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of “it” -- the pure essence of experience. Seeking unchartered terrain and the last American frontier, »

Kirsten Dunst Steps Out With a Big Ring
12 March 2013 7:05 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Kirsten Dunst ran errands in La, stopping to get a manicure, yesterday afternoon. While at the salon, a big diamond ring was visible on her left hand, though not on her ring finger. Kirsten's home in California after a recent getaway to France with her boyfriend, Garrett Hedlund. Kirsten and Garrett checked out the Saint Lauren show at Paris Fashion Week. It was an appropriate event to attend, since Garrett is the face of Saint Laurent's men's cologne La Nuit De L'Homme. Kirsten and Garrett have been together since 2011, when they met on the set of On the Road. That film, directed by Walter Salles and also featuring Kristen Stewart and Tom Sturridge, was out in limited release in December 2012, but will be reintroduced to theaters and on-demand movie-watchers March 22.

Watch: No Handjobs In New Clip From 'On The Road' (Yes, It's Getting Released Again Or Something)
8 March 2013 12:44 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
So, in case you thought you missed "On The Road" or forgot about it entirely, the movie is actually still coming and/or getting released again. Or something. Basically, Walter Salles' film was supposed to open in December -- Kristen Stewart even did a big press sweep to promote it at the time -- and then at the last second it was yanked or they decided to hold on expanding it until the spring. So here we are again, and now some awkward promotion is here to remind you that this is now an option at your local theater. (Again). A new clip has arrived for the movie, with Stewart's Marylou and Garrett Hedlund's Dean getting all steamy in a car and then having feelings. It doesn't lead to the handjob scene, you pervs, but you should know that it technically did win an Oscar. Okay, maybe not technically, »
