Cannes 2013 roundup | Tom Lamont
19 May 2013 12:15 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The critics rained on Baz Luhrmann's parade but a star was born in Young and Beautiful, and Sofia Coppola hit a nerve with a film about a teen gang robbing the homes of Hollywood stars
Nicole Kidman is here in Cannes, so is Ang Lee, and Audrey Tautou, and a second-generation Jagger, and Justin Timberlake, and Cindy Crawford, and Cheryl Cole, and Pelé, and all of them have been rained on, stubbornly, for days. Rain at Cannes used to be rare, regulars say. Russell Crowe has an anecdote about sitting in a screening wearing sodden zip-ups back in 1991, and Bruce Willis got splashed by a freak wave in 2006 – but for a couple of decades straight, at least, this festival was a dry deal, screenings and parties staged outdoors, everyone "cooked to a turn" (as F Scott Fitzgerald described the local way of sunbathing). Then last year the roof of the Soixantième theatre blew off. »

Audrey Tautou To Voice "Phantom Boy"
18 May 2013 8:47 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Audrey Tautou, Edouard Baer, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Patrick Ridremont and Patrick Descamps have joined the voice cast of the animated feature "Phantom Boy" for Folimage, Lunanime, France 3 Cinéma, and Rhône-Alpes Cinéma.
Oscar-nominated "A Cat In Paris" directors Alain Gagnol and Jean-Loup Felicioli helm the project which follows a seriously ill 11-year-old who has the ability to leave his body at will.
Thanks to him, an injured police officer and an intrepid journalist can both assume the roles of guardian angels when a disfigured gangster is threatening the city. A 2015 release is planned.

Cannes 2013: Celebs Invade Opening Ceremony (Photos)
15 May 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
A slew of celebrities arrived for the opening of the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival today, kicking off the 66th annual event in full red-carpet glamour. Attendees included French actress Audrey Tautou, the host of the festival's opening ceremony; the cast of Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" (including the fantastical film's director himself); and the star-studded jury panel, this year featuring the likes of Nicole Kidman, "Django Unchained" star Christoph Waltz, director Ang Lee, and jury president Steven Spielberg. Nicole Kidman looked stunning in a sleek black dress with a modernized sweetheart neckline, and "Gatsby" star Carey Mulligan wowed in her own little black strapless number. Unlike his ultra-dapper character Jay Gatsby, Leonardo DiCaprio showed up sans-tie but looked slick nonetheless, while co-star and longtime pal Tobey Maguire stepped it up with a spotted necktie. Acclaimed directors and fellow festival jury members Ang Lee and Steven Spielberg appeared to have »

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.

Michel Hazanavicius lambasts French film industry
7 May 2013 5:39 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Oscar-winning director criticised film funding in France, sheltered by state subsidy, high salaries and 'complacency'
Buttressed by state subsidies and partly sheltered from Hollywood predators, the French film industry has traditionally been regarded with envy by its European neighbours. Yet the Oscar-winning director Michel Hazanavicius has painted an altogether different picture. The domestic industry, he claims, has been damaged by inflated salaries and a culture of complacency. Quantity not quality, he suggests, has become the order of the day.
Hazanavicius, who won the best picture and director Oscar for his silent comedy The Artist in 2012, took to the pages of Le Monde to lambast what he sees as a well-meaning but outmoded system of French film production. "Today our responsibility is to denounce the failings of a once virtuous system that is being devoured by gangrene."
The French film industry is reliant on around €700m in government subsidies, principally »

Top Ten Tuesday – The Best of the French
30 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
The French film industry has always been among the worlds most important……at least to film studies professors. Most French movies are either funded by the French government or made with the support of government-linked media companies. Filmmakers face little market pressure in the creative process. That helps explain why they’re so boring!
Starbuck opens this weekend so we here at We Are Movie Geeks have decided to post this article about our favorite French films. Okay, so Starbuck is technically a Canadian film shot in Quebec, but its French language so, in our eyes that makes it French! The Hollywood remake is already in the can. It stars Vince Vaughn. The remake was originally tilted Dickie Donor but they’ve changed it to Delivery Man, so you just know they’ve screwed it up bad. This list may not line up with that of your typical French Cinema scholar. »

Updated: Beautiful New Trailer For Gondry’s ‘Mood Indigo’ (With Subtitles!)
26 April 2013 5:12 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Ah, Michel Gondry, how you continue to play with our minds with your clever twists on what we see and what we think we see. This is no sarcasm, this is pure praise, and it looks set to continue in this second trailer for Audrey Tautou-starring Mood Indigo. The Amelie stars in this charming-looking movie Romain Duris as Colin plus roles for Omar Sy, Jamel Debbouze and Gad Elmaleh that’s based on Boris Vian’s 1947 book “L’Ecume des jours” or “Froth on the Daydream” for those scrabbling for Google Translate.
It’s another romantic-based film, but Gondry’s films are all around the journey within the film itself and you’ll see almost instantaneously all the new, weird and wonderful contraptions that he’s put together. If you’re a fan of his films Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and the Science Of Sleep, then you »

After interestingly taking on the subject of teenage friendships in 2012.s The We and the I, Michel Gondry . he who made both Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Green Hornet, somehow . reverted back to his French origins for an adaptation of Boris Vian.s wildly imaginative 1947 novel L.Ecume des jours, which translates to Foam of the Daze or Froth on the Daydream depending on who translates it. And beyond just having a Gondry-esque title, it seems as if the director was put on this planet specifically to bring these illusory images to life. Somehow there are even more enchanting images here than there were in Mood Indigo.s first trailer we showed you a few months back, and this one even has subtitles, even though it.s hard to read words while stars Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou are flying around in a mini-cloud spaceship thing.

‘Mood Indigo’ Trailer – ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Director’s New Surreal Portrait of Love
25 April 2013 8:49 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Oscar-winning filmmaker Michel Gondry returns to theaters this year with Mood Indigo, which is his new testament to the power of imagination and love – in the face of life’s harsh realities – to rank alongside his previous critically-acclaimd features such as The Science of Sleep and, more famously, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Mood Indigo takes place in a surreal alternate reality, where Colin (Romain Duris) – the wealthy young inventor of “the cocktail-mixing piano” – falls in love with the woman named Chloe (Audrey Tautou), who is “the incarnation of a Duke Ellington tune.” However, after their wedding, Chloe becomes terribly sick due to a water lily that is growing inside her lung; thus, Colin’s commitment and creative spark is put to the test, in order for him to save his sweetheart’s life.

The film is an adaptation of Boris Vian's international bestseller and is described as follows: In a world where you can travel around on a pink cloud or literally be swept off an ice-skating rink into a hole, Colin, a wealthy young man and inventor of the cocktail-mixing piano, wants to fall in love. With the help of his cook Nicolas and best friend Chick, he meets Chloe, the incarnation of a Duke Ellington tune. But soon after their wedding, Chloe falls ill. She has a water lily growing in her chest. Ruined by medical expenses, Colin resorts to increasingly »
Jury For 66th Cannes Film Festival Revealed
24 April 2013 4:25 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
A host of recent Oscar and Palme d’Or winners will head up the jury for the 66th Cannes Film Festival, alongside the already announced president Steven Spielberg.
Those included are Life Of Pi director Ang Lee, Django Unchained’s Christoph Waltz, Aussie actress Nicole Kidman, Romania’s award-winning filmmaker Cristian Mangiu, Japanese director Naomi Kawase and We Need To Talk About Kevin’s acclaimed director Lynne Ramsey, who has recently caused controversy for not turning up to helm western thriller Jane Got A Gun. French actor Daniel Auteuil will also preside as will Bollywood superstar Vidya Balan.
The iconic festival’s artistic director Thierry Fremaux added:
We have only one criteria and that is already done for the president – the legitimacy. So for the jury, Steven Spielberg will be the center and we are finishing it with great people. We have a lot of filmmakers coming from all over the world. »

Cannes 2013: Nicole Kidman, Ang Lee and Christoph Waltz join jury

Steven Spielberg leads a star-studded Cannes jury, which also includes Lynne Ramsay, Daniel Auteuil and Vidya Balan
Might it be the most star-studded Cannes jury in history? The world's most famous film festival has announced that this year's president, Steven Spielberg, will be joined by a cavalcade of heavyweight figures – including Oscar winners Ang Lee, Christoph Waltz and Nicole Kidman.
The glittering quartet will be joined by Britain's Lynne Ramsay, perhaps with time on her hands after exiting the Natalie Portman indie western Jane's Got a Gun, French cinema icon Daniel Auteuil, Romanian film-maker Cristian Mungiu, Japanese director Naomi Kawase and Bollywood star Vidya Balan.
Mungiu, Ramsay, Auteuil and Kawase are all past Cannes award-winners. Ramsay took a Youth prize in 2002 for her elliptical drama Morvern Callar, while Kawase won the Camera d'Or for Suzaku in 1997 and the Grand Prix in 2007 for The Mourning Forest. Auteuil won the best actor »

Film Review: ‘Mood Indigo’
23 April 2013 2:20 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
After an opera adaptation and earlier cinematic efforts by Go Riju and Charles Belmont, Boris Vian’s supposedly unfilmable cult novel “Froth on a Daydream” has been adapted to the bigscreen as Michel Gondry’s often inventive but finally exhausting “Mood Indigo.” Gondry’s trademark do-it-yourself production design (“Be Kind Rewind,” “The Science of Sleep”) is given a big-budget showcase here, but the resulting yarn, about a rich man rendered penniless by his ailing g.f.’s need for flowers to stay alive, is emotionally stunted and lacks the requisite sense of tragedy. With Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou playing two iconic characters, initial local B.O. should be solid; offshore, “Mood” will be cooler.
Finally back on Gallic home turf after “The Green Hornet” and “The We and the I,” Gondry would seem the perfect filmmaker to adapt Vian’s work and bring to life such flights of fancy as the pianocktail, »

Efa Gets Inspiration from Bfca? Introducing the Euro Comedy Category
23 April 2013 2:08 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Possibly having gotten its inspiration from the U.S.-based Broadcast Film Critics Association (Bfca; the critics group that hands out the Critics Choice Awards) or, just as possibly, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA; the organization that hands out the Golden Globes), the European Film Academy has added a new category to its European Film Awards roster: European Comedy. As per a press release, the new category was decided by Efa's board at its latest meeting in Berlin to “pay tribute to a genre which has proven that it is able to unite and entertain audiences across Europe and beyond.” (Pictured above: Daniel Brühl in Wolfgang Becker's 2003 comedy Good Bye, Lenin!, winner of that year's Best Film trophy.)

From Michael Douglas in sequins to Carey Mulligan as Gatsby's girl, these are the stars who'll be making waves this year
He may not have won the Oscar for Lincoln but being named president of this year's Competition jury is a classy consolation prize. Spielberg's underlings have yet to be announced but you can expect the usual quota of one huge Hollywood star, one auteur only the most cinephilic have heard of and at least two women. Thomas Vinterberg (The Hunt) chairs the panel for the Un Certain Regard sidebar; Jane Campion wields the gavel over on the Cinéfondation wing.
The heavy of credible American cinema (as well as dad of Laura) takes his first serious starring role in years in Nebraska, Alexander Payne's follow-up to The Descendants. Nebraska looks like a splice of that film (George Clooney family saga) and Payne's previous, Sideways (ill-fated »

Rebellion review

La Haine’s Mathieu Kassovitz returns, licking his wounds, to home soil following his less than auspicious results in Hollywood (he disowned the theatrical cut of his 2008 Vin Diesel apocalyptic actioner Babylon Ad). Not one to shy away from a challenge, he’s back in the directors chair, as well as co-writing, co-producing and starring in this true-life account French colonial unrest which resulted in severe military force. Thankfully, the film sees Kassovitz back on solid ground, displaying much of the cinematic pizzazz which characterised his earlier work.
The film opens with scenes which occur towards the end of the struggle, where things have gone seriously awry, leaving the audience with an impending sense of doom from the off. The director still manages to present a taut countdown to the outcome of events from 1988 which saw members of a separatist group from the Ouvea island of New Caledonia taking 27 French »

A Feast For The Eyes: Famous Film Eateries
16 April 2013 10:19 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Locations in films are rarely the thing an average filmgoer remembers after watching a film; it’s always about the story, character and the lines they say that later form the proverbial ‘word of mouth.’ However, when you think of great confrontations, conversations and simple exchanges, they always take place in a nice public setting – although being surrounded by a group of unknowing people rarely dulls the impact of a tense interaction.
An epiphany came after some light people-watching during a mediocre pancake breakfast – they seem to take place in a restaurant, diner or some kind of eatery; a place where some of TV and film’s classic characters can settle an old score of even debate on pop culture over a cup of coffee:
Café des 2 Moulins, Paris (Amélie, 2001)
This quaint coffee shop, where young dreamer Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou) worked and interacted with a variety of characters, is based in Montmatre, »
