Cannes 2013 Derby: Paolo Sorrentino’s La Grande Bellezza Tops Eric’s Palme d’Or Predictions
14 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Before I even begin considering the offerings in the field of eighteen Main Competition items, it’s the composition of the jury members (team of nine lead by Steven Spielberg) where my dissection begins. While I’d be tempted to brand/make the bogus remark that cine-folk Spielberg, Daniel Auteuil and Ang Lee votes would go towards the formulaic and/or conventional, I’m more inclined to say that it’s slightly more obvious to gauge how provocateurs such as Lynne Ramsay, Cristian Mungiu and Naomi Kawase might direct their vote intentions: towards the aesthetically daring, narratively challenging material. I’m including bold actress Nicole Kidman in this group – as her best perfs are found in the audacious, darker micro films that garner little coin, but plenty of critical praise. Last year we had what was probably a unanimous consensus choice with Amour winning the Palme, though I would bet »

Cannes 2013 Derby: Refn’s Only God Forgives Tops Nicholas’ Palme d’Or Predictions
13 May 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Nicolas Winding Refn won Best Director at Cannes for his 2011 film Drive when Robert De Niro was jury president. While many may presume that Spielberg may shy away from Refn’s entry, I think there’s a great possibility that Refn’s unique, innovative skills have a good shot at being awarded the top prize. Fellow jury members Christoph Waltz and Nicole Kidman both seem to gravitate towards dark, stylized material, while something tells me other fellow directors on the jury like Lynne Ramsay and Ang Lee may lean towards this more splashy entry in the lineup. Sight unseen, Only God Forgives is at the top of the leader-board.
The French presence is heavy in this year’s Main Comp lineup, so it goes without saying that there’s a greater chance of one of these directors taking home the top prize. While of course we need to wait to see the end products, »

Cannes 2013 Derby: James Gray’s The Immigrant Tops Blake’s Palme d’Or Predictions
13 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Obviously, we won’t know till we see the films. But last year I predicted Amour‘s victory based on the likely preferences of the jury, so that makes me some kind of prophet in my opinion, therefore allow me to deem James Gray’s The Immigrant to be this year’s odds-on favorite, a film he believes to be his best, which could end his losing streak in Cannes in a big way. It has star power, a talented auteur, and appears to deal with a touchy subject – if the title is anything to go on.
Also look out for M. Desplechin, who’s also never won the big prize, and appears to be taking on projects that get more and more ambitious until there will just be no choice left. The big-name jury may want to send Soderbergh off into semi-retirement with a bang, and the film seems »

Cannes 2013: Paolo Sorrentino’s La Grande Bellezza
9 May 2013 3:05 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
La Grande Bellezza, or if you prefer The Great Beauty is an upcoming drama directed by Paolo Sorrentino. It is also one of the titles that will compete for the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, so quite logically – we’re here to share the official trailers, one great classy poster and some awesome images from the film described as a portrait of today’s Rome. What a portrait that is when lovely Sabrina Ferilli stars in the whole thing… Sorrentino directed the movie from a script he co-wrote with Umberto Contarello, and the project will tell us the story of an aging journalist...

Giulio Andreotti obituary
7 May 2013 4:48 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Controversial politician at the heart of power in Italy who was prime minister seven times
Giulio Andreotti, who has died aged 94, was the ultimate insider of Italian political life. For half a century he was at the heart of power. His tenure at the highest echelons of government was unequalled in Europe. From the early 1960s to the early 90s, he was – almost uninterruptedly – either prime minister or a senior minister. Andreotti was in all but six of the 45 governments that ran from May 1947 to April 1992, led seven of them and, at various times, was the minister of defence, foreign affairs (five times), finance, treasury, and interior. He held the post of prime minister for longer than any other postwar Italian politician except Silvio Berlusconi, yet he never led the Christian Democratic party.
His tenacity in remaining at the centre of affairs became a source of fascination in itself. Just »

Watch: Full Trailer, Poster & New Pics For Paolo Sorrentino's Cannes Entry 'La Grande Bellezza'
30 April 2013 8:39 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The Cannes Film Festival is only two weeks away, and with the sheer amount of films coming to the south of France growing larger by the day, the trailers advertising them have ramped into high gear. Earlier in the month a teaser trailer was released for director Paolo Sorrentino's "La Grande Bellezza," and now the official trailer has just gone live, and while it’s in Italian, it definitely shows Sorrentino returning to the roots he laid down with his earlier film, "Il Divo." The trailer’s closest point of comparison is Federico Fellini's "8 ½," only here it follows a journalist hoping to cling to the last vestiges of his youth. The trailer is sweeping and comprises all the best of Italia, including beautiful women, partying, and gorgeous scenery. Fans of the country, art house films, and Sorrentino’s past work ("The Consequences Of Love," "The Family Friend," the »

Cannes film festival 2013: Ryan Gosling, Coens and Polanski line up
18 April 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn team up again for Only God Forgives, with Alexander Payne, Steven Soderbergh, James Gray and Stephen Frears also set to present new work
Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling, whose La-thriller Drive ran rings round the Croisette two years ago, are planning a second pitstop on the Riviera, it has been confirmed. Their latest collaboration, Only God Forgives, which sees Gosling as a taciturn gangster in Bangkok (and Kristin Scott Thomas as his mother) is the most mainstream entry in the eclectic lineup for this year's competition.
Also rolling onto the grid are new films from the Coen brothers, Alexander Payne, Steven Soderbergh and Roman Polanski. Joel and Ethan Coen present Inside Llewyn Davis, set in the folk scene of 1960s New York, while Soderbergh's Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra will also vie for the Palme d'Or. The film, which stars Michael Douglas as the pianist, »

Cannes 2013 lineup: a programme of heavy-hitters and unexpected gems
18 April 2013 8:23 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From Roman Polanski to James Franco, by way of the Coen brothers and a sneaky encore from Steven Soderbergh, there's plenty to look forward to at this year's festival
More than the first cuckoo, the announcement of the Cannes competition list is the first sign of spring; always an exciting moment and even more so as in recent years Cannes has consolidated its primacy among the film festivals of the world. There look to be no major or startling omissions: Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac is reportedly not ready, although I was disappointed not to see Steve McQueen's Twelve Years a Slave. There are, in fact, no British entries in competition, but Stephen Frears's Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight – an HBO project about Ali's opposition to Vietnam – has a Special Screening slot. (A small footnote here: young British film-maker Ana Caro, from the National Film and Television School, has »

Cannes: The Official Slate
18 April 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
It's afternoon in Paris but bright and early here in NYC and the official Cannes lineup has been announced. In 28 days Baz Luhrmann and his undoubtedly enormous Bazmark posse will be hitting the Croisette for the opening night film The Great Gatsby. Immediately following that debut reactions will explode chaotically all over the web with unvariably less art-directed beauty than the fireworks in the film.
But here's what'll actually be competing for the Palme D'Or and assorted main jury prizes.
In Competition
Behind The Candelabra (Steven Soderbergh) Borgman (Alex Van Warmerdam) Un Chateau En Italie (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi) La Grande Bellezza (Paolo Sorrentino) Grisgris (Mahamat-Saleh Haroun) Heli (Amat Escalante) The Immigrant (James Gray) Inside Llewyn Davis (Joel & Ethan Coen) Jeune Et Jolie (Francois Ozon) Jimmy P (Arnaud Desplechin) Michael Kohlhaas (Arnaud Despallieres) Nebraska (Alexander Payne) Only God Forgives (Nicolas Winding Refn) The Past (Asghar Farhadi) Soshite Chichi Ni Naru (Hirokazu Kore-eda »

The Official Selection for the 66th Cannes Film Festival has been unveiled and noticeable absentees in the list of 19 Main Comp films and the Un Certain Regard section include Terrence Malick, Ari Folman’s The Congress, Catherine Breillat’s Abuse of Weakness, Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, Michael Rowe’s Manto Acuifero, Tsai Ming-Liang’s Diary of a Young Boy, Jean-Luc Godard’s Goodbye To Language 3D, Serge Bozon’s Tip Top, Kelly Reichardt’s Night Moves, Corneliu Porumboiu’s Nine Minute Interval, Michel & Vicky Franco’s In the Eyes and not surprisingly, a film which might have become a colony instead in Ilya Khrzhanovsky’s Dau. All of these may trickle into the Directors’ Fortnight section, or might join Steve McQueen on the Lido in Venice.

Soderbergh, Payne, Polanski and the Coens Lead 2013 Cannes Film Festival Lineup
18 April 2013 3:22 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
This morning in Paris, the official competition lineup for the 66th Cannes Film Festival was announced. Steven Soderbergh ("Behind The Candelabra"), Paolo Sorrentino ("La Grande Bellezza"), James Gray ("The Immigrant"), Joel and Ethan Coen ("Inside Llewyn Davis"), Alexander Payne ("Nebraska"), Nicolas Winding Refn ("Only God Forgives"), Francois Ozon ("Jeune Et Jolie"), Asghar Farhadi ("The Past"), Roman Polanski ("Venus in Fur") and Takashi Miike ("Wara No Tate") will all have films screening in competition. They make for a very male-centric group (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi is the only woman with a film in competition), despite all the criticism last year for an equally male-dominant lineup. Oddly, new films from Sofia Coppola and Claire Denis -- two of the most notable female directors living -- were both selected for the Un Certain Regard program instead of official competition (quite a few women are Un Certain Regard, including Flora Lau's "Bends," Rebecca Zlotowski's. »
