The ‘Blue Velvet’ Project: Confession Redux
22 hours ago | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
May 28
The Blue Velvet Project will resume with post #119 on May 30th. In the meantime, this is a re-post of the April 23 confession, with a new confessional update at the bottom of the post.
————————-
As author of The Blue Velvet Project—which owes a moral debt to the Dogme 95 movement, whose practice of constraint was an inspiration—I feel obligated to make this public statement of confessions regarding the rigors of the project. This is done in the spirit of Thomas Vinterberg’s confession regarding his film The Celebration.
Despite the fact that I promised Mr. Macaulay, Filmmaker Editor-in-Chief, that I would compose each entry “well ahead of time,” I confess that the following posts were composed the day of posting:
#12
#27
#28
#77
#93
I confess to posting—out of unreasonable affection for the frame in question—on the same frame twice, concocting the flimsy ruse of “part 2” as a means to justify this selfish act. »

So that was the Cannes film festival...
28 May 2012 4:56 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Crazed nuns, talking cars, whisky heists; slow death, true love, and several violent deaths for our canine cousins; rain, wind and more rain. That was Cannes 2012.
Blog silence has been down to the long days of Cannes. I've seen 16 films, most of them, in one way or another, extraordinary. None was directed by a woman and only two by a non-white director. In my view, the jurors chose easily the best film for the Palme D'Or, for all the blissful invention of Leos Carax's Holy Motors. I heartily recommend Michael Haneke's Amour. It is a mightily controlled, intensely poignant film that draws extraordinary performances from its great, veteran actors.
I wrote a piece about literary adaptations this year, of which there were many. On the Road turned out to be a reverential, pedestrian adaptation of the Kerouac novel, more like reading a dutiful Penguin Classics introduction than experiencing »

Cannes 2012 roundup: why the jury's Amour for Haneke was an anti-climax
28 May 2012 4:03 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Michael Haneke's moving story deserved the Palme d'Or, yet a vote for Leos Carax's kaleidoscopically weird Holy Motors would have stopped this from being a faintly unsatisfying festival
The Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes film festival for Amour, by Michael Haneke, makes him now a double-winner, having won the Palme for his proto-Nazi parable The White Ribbon in 2009. Amour is the almost unbearably moving story of an old man caring for his dying wife at home until her final hour. It's an excellent choice. An impeccable choice. Actually, the only possible choice. For me, Amour was the best film in this year's competition, no question about it: a glorious demonstration of pure artistic intelligence, uncompromisingly exacting and demanding.
And yet … and yet … this is somehow also a slightly anti-climactic ending to a faintly unsatisfying festival. Now, it is highly obtuse and ungracious to find fault in the »

Cannes 2012: Amour's love is justified, but why cold-shoulder Cosmopolis?
28 May 2012 12:54 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From the weather to the winner, an ominous chill was in the air at Cannes this year. Yet some of the jury's decisions suggest they may have been suffering from heat stroke
The 65th Cannes film festival dawned bright and sunny and then quickly went to hell in a handcart. The wind whipped up, the clouds hoved in and it proceeded to rain for three days straight. It was at this point that Michael Haneke arrived. He could hardly have timed his entrance better.
Amour – which screened on the middle Sunday, the rainiest of all – was not just the stand-out film in this year's Cannes competition. It also became emblematic of the festival as a whole; a warning of incoming cold-snaps and imminent storms; a reminder to shutter your windows and hold on to your loved ones.
Haneke's film tells the tale of Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Anne (Emmanuelle Riva »

Palme d’Or at Cannes 2012 goes to Michael Haneke’s Amour
27 May 2012 10:44 PM, PDT | DearCinema.com | See recent DearCinema.com news »
The Palme d’Or, the top award at 65th Cannes Film Festival was awarded to Love (Amour) by Michael Haneke. The film tells the story of two retired music teachers in their eighties and their bond of love.
The film is a co-production between France, Germany and Austria.
Michael Haneke said: “I am very happy to be with my actors on this stage, it makes me less shy. I would like to thank the entire Jury and Thierry Fremaux, who gave me the opportunity to present this film here. Thanks to everyone who helped me make this film. Thank you to my wife, who has been supporting me for many years. This film is in part an illustration of the promise that we made to each other. A big thank you to my two actors. They are the essence of this film.”

Post Tenebras Lux, Holy Motors: Most Divisive
27 May 2012 9:06 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Carlos Reygadas‘ Post Tenebras Lux How did Mads Mikkelsen know he had a chance of winning the Best Actor Award at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival? In fact, how did Mikkelsen most likely know he had won the Best Actor Award? Simple: the day before, festival organizers asked him to represent Thomas Vinterberg’s The Hunt at the awards ceremony. Of course, that makes one wonder. Since movies in the Official Competition were screened the day before the awards ceremony, how long does it take the jury to deliberate and decide who’ll win what? [List of Cannes 2012 winners; Amour, Reality, Cristian Mungiu: Cannes Winners; Mads Mikkelsen, Carlos Reygadas: Cannes Winners.] The Mads Mikkelsen info comes courtesy of Accréds’ Twitter account, which also offers several curious tidbits from the press room at the Cannes awards ceremony. Carlos Reygadas’ Objective: Self-Expression For instance, Best Director winner Carlos Reygadas (for Post Tenebras Lux) told the press that he had "watched Ulrich Seidl’s film, which I liked a lot. »

Michael Haneke's Amour takes the Palme d'Or at Cannes
27 May 2012 4:09 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The 65th annual Cannes International Film Festival drew to a close today with Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke receiving the jury's top honour, the Palme d'Or, for Amour (a.k.a. Love), claiming the prize for the second time after tasting success in 2009 with his previous effort, The White Ribbon. This latest win adds to a growing collection of Cannes accolades for Haneke, having also won a Prix du Jury (Jury Prize) in 2001 for The Piano Teacher and Prix de la Mise en Scene (Best Director) in 2005 with Caché.
Other successes on the night included Matteo Garrone's Reality, which was awarded the second-placed Grand Prix, followed by British director Ken Loach's latest film The Angels' Share, which received the Prix du Jury. Cosmina Stratan and Cristina Flutur shared the Prix d’interpretation feminine (Best Actress) award for Cristian Mungiu's Beyond the Hills - which was also the recipient »

Mads Mikkelsen, Carlos Reygadas: Cannes Winners
27 May 2012 3:24 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Carlos Reygadas‘ Post Tenebras Lux Cannes 2012 Winners Pt.1: Michael Haneke’s Amour, Matteo Garrone’s Reality, Cristian Mungiu’s Beyond The Hills The Best Actor was Mads Mikkelsen, who late last year received the European Film Award for European Achievement in World Cinema. (Among Mikkelsen’s future World Cinema "achievements" may be one of the villainous roles in Thor 2.) Mikkelsen’s Cannes victory was for his performance as a man (falsely) accused of sexually molesting a child — and the inevitable hysteria that ensues — in Thomas Vinterberg’s Danish psychological drama The Hunt. Carlos Reygadas cosmically surrealist family drama, Post Tenebras Lux ("Light After Darkness") earned the Mexican filmmaker the Best Director Award. In 2007, Reygadas’ Silent Night tied with Persepolis for the Jury Prize. And just a few days ago, Post Tenebras Lux was greeted by loud boos. And finally, the socially conscious British filmmaker Ken Loach won the »

Out of the 22 films in competition, the Palme d’Or was awarded to Amour (Love) by Michael Haneke. Michael Haneke received his award from Adrien Brody and Audrey Tautou. Amour is the story of Georges and Anne who are in their eighties. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne has an attack. The couple’s bond of love is severely tested.
Winner of 2009′s Palme d’Or for The White Ribbon, Haneke said afterwards at the press conference, “The story I tell is based on the promise my wife and I made to each other: not to separate »

Film News: Michael Haneke’s ‘Amour’ Wins Top Prize at Cannes Festival
27 May 2012 2:37 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – After receiving eight previous prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, German filmmaker Michael Haneke became the first person in history to win the Palme d’Or twice within a mere three-year period. Haneke snagged the top prize at Cannes for “Amour,” a widely praised drama about an elderly couple whose love is challenged by the physical frailties of age.
At the May 27th award ceremony for the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival, Haneke was joined onstage by his film’s two stars, the legendary French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant (whose performance in “Amour” marks his first onscreen appearance in nine years) and Emmanuelle Riva (of “Hiroshima Mon Amour” fame). In his acceptance speech, the director credited his two actors for being “the essence” of his film, while noting that “Amour” was “in part an illustration of the promise” that he and his wife made to one another. Haneke won the »

With the 65th Cannes Film Festival winding down today, the jury has announced their winning picks. Following up Terrence Malick‘s The Tree of Life last year, Michael Haneke once again wins the Palme d’Or for his drama Amour (our review), after taking it home for The White Ribbon just a few years back. The other major winner was Cristian Mungiu, who won prizes for Best Screenplay and Best Actress (awarded to Cosmina Stratan and Cristina Flutur) for his drama Beyond the Hills, a film we were mixed on.
The other major win was Mads Mikkelsen‘s Best Actor nab for The Hunt, one of our favorites from the fest, along with the Grand Prix going to Matteo Garrone‘s Reality (our review). Lastly, it’s great to see Benh Zeitlin take home a much-deserved Best First Feature prize for the Sundance hit Beasts of the Southern Wild. Check »

Michael Haneke became only the eighth director to win two Palme d’Or awards, as his tender marital drama Amour took the top prize at the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival.

Former James Bond baddie Mads Mikkelsen was honored as best actor, for his role as a man falsely accused of sexually abusing a child in The Hunt. Cristina Flutur and Cosmina Stratan shared the best actress award for their performances in Beyond the Hills, about a nun and her jealous former lesbian lover.

Michael Haneke's 'Amour' Wins Palme d'Or At Cannes; Cristian Mungiu's 'Beyond The Hills' Other Big Winner At Fest
27 May 2012 11:11 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
On a rainy evening in the south of France, Nanni Moretti and rest of the Cannes Film Festival jury gathered at the Lumiere theater for a star-studded ceremony to hand out the awards for this year's fest. And there were some big surprises in store.
But before we get to those, the no-brainer winner for the Palme d'Or was Michael Haneke's "Amour." Already a festival regular, who won the prize for his last film "The White Ribbon," unlike his previous much more divisive pictures, this one was almost universally, well, loved. Anchored by two powerful performances by Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, this punishing tale about an elderly couple facing death straight in the face had a heart and humanity that Haneke has never quite shown before. It's a well-deserved win, and one that most can agree on (read our review here). Sony Pictures Classics acquired the film earlier »

Cannes 2012 roundup: Michael Haneke's Amour conquers all
26 May 2012 4:12 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From the bonkers Holy Motors to the disappointing On the Road, Cannes offered plenty of breadth, but only Michael Haneke's exquisite tale of an elderly man caring for his frail wife in their Paris apartment ticked all the boxes
Michael Haneke is too good. Whenever the Austrian director shows one of his films in Cannes, I always come out thinking the others might as well just pack up and go home because they'll never reach his awesome heights of control and precision. It's like the days when Beethoven was around and everyone else gave up composing. Haneke's Amour, about an elderly man looking after his frail wife (Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, both utterly captivating) when a stroke confines her to their Paris apartment, was by some stretch the finest film at Cannes. It was the only piece to be exquisitely acted, composed, paced and pitched, as well as »
