They've all got films scheduled in the Cannes Classics wing devoted to restored prints of old classics, and created in 2004 "as the relationship between contemporary cinema and its own memory was disrupted by the advent of the digital age".
Thirteen features, two shorts, a mini-concert and four documentaries – all world premieres – are on the bill, including the previously announced restored and extended print of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America, which has been overseen by Martin Scorsese. Robert De Niro, Elizabeth McGovern and Jennifer Connelly, who star in the film, will attend, alongside the Leone family. »

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. N1FR #2, Scorsese's List and More
25 February 2012 8:01 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
The second edition of the N1FR, n+1's film review, "is very late," begins editor As Hamrah, but there's no need to apologize. The timing is perfect, arriving just many of us will be desperate for distraction from what promises to be a very noisy weekend. As Hamrah notes, there's not one piece in the entire issue on "even one film nominated for an Oscar this year."
Instead, we have Chris Fujiwara setting Vincent Gallo and George Clooney next to each other and riffing on the juxtaposition, Christine Smallwood on Apichatpong Weerasethakul and on Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Jeanette Samyn and Jonathan Kyle Sturgeon on Pedro Costa, Dmitry Martov on Serge Bozon and his circle, Emily Gould on Badmaash Company, a Bollywood movie that screams out to be compared and contrasted with The Social Network, Jennifer Krasinski on the rise of the polymath, Ben Maraniss on Mel Gibson, »
Daily Viewing. Michel Legrand @ 80
24 February 2012 1:08 PM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Go to composer Michel Legrand's site and you'll be greeted by Barbra Streisand's newish rendition of one of his greatest hits, "The Windmills of Your Mind," originally composed for The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) — it won Legrand his first Oscar. This version opens Streisand's last album, What Matters Most, which, if you throw in the Deluxe Edition Bonus Disc, features eight more Legrand tunes. She's a fan. While Legrand won his second Oscar for his score for Summer of '42 (1971), it was Yentl (1983) that scored him his third win, plus two more nominations, one each for two songs Streisand sings in the film.
Les Films du Losange notes that Legrand turns 80 today, a fine occasion to remind ourselves that, before the "Windmills" years, Legrand worked with Godard (A Woman Is a Woman, Vivre sa vie, Band of Outsiders) and appeared in Agnès Varda's Cléo From 5 to 7 (1961) before he »

Review: Criterion Collection: La Jetée and Sans Soleil [Blu-ray]
14 February 2012 4:40 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Criterion Collection: La Jetée and Sans Soleil [Blu-ray] Movie: Disc: Click here to read the dvd review! "With the former film inspiring a plethora of homages (most notably, Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys) and the latter spawning a style of free-form cinema diary that would later be evoked in films by Agnès Varda and Jonathan Caouette, among many others, Marker's role as a pioneer in the latter half of the 20th century is hardly arguable." »

17 January 2012 12:12 PM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
In keeping with the theme of love, family, and relationship from my last post, I reached out to some famous friends to see what their thoughts were on the subject.
Singer/songwriter Matt Alber, filmmaker and photographer Bruce Labruce, actor and musician Daniela Sea (from Showtime's The L Word), TV personality and activist Danny Roberts (from MTV's Real World: New Orleans), drag superstar and electrosleeze pioneer Jackie Beat, composer and singer Holcombe Waller, and "Charlie" Swimwear designer Matthew Zink all weighed in on the same five questions:
1. If you could sum up your concept of "relationships" in one word, what would it be?
2. What is your favorite love song of all time?
3. If you could choose any actor to play you in the movie version of your life, who would it be? What about them is you?
4. How has the relationship between your mother and father influenced your ideas about love and relationships? »
