Thirty years of bringing compelling stories to the screen have earned Stephen Woolley and Elizabeth Karlsen the ultimate recognition, the Observer can reveal
It is hard to imagine what students would have put up on their bedroom walls over the past 30 years without the work of Stephen Woolley and his wife and fellow producer, Elizabeth Karlsen. The posters for all the films they have either produced or distributed tell the story of independent cinema.
After bringing audiences foreign arthouse hits such as Paris Texas, Eraserhead and Diva, Woolley had his first triumph as a producer with The Company of Wolves in 1984, going on to make a series of landmarks in British cinema, including Letter to Brezhnev, Absolute Beginners, Mona Lisa, the Oscar-winner The Crying Game, Scandal, The End of the Affair and Made in Dagenham. And this winter, the Observer can reveal, the couple are to be honoured by Bafta...

Whether you knew him as Brett from Alien, Brain from Escape from New York, Travis Henderson from Paris, Texas, or Carl Rodd from Twin Peaks, Harry Dean Stanton has been a beloved fixture of cinema for decades. Stanton is one of the reasons why they say, "They don't make them like that anymore." In fact, I don't think they ever made them like him, which is why it is with especially heavy hearts that we share the news of Harry's passing at the age of 91.
The news of Stanton's passing comes from multiple sources, with Variety reporting that the actor died of "natural causes" in Los Angeles on Friday.
Stanton was a tremendous character actor, but he was ultimately a unique character unto himself. He had a no B.S. approach to his roles that made you completely invest in his characters because he was completely invested in his characters.

Tiff 17 Little Girls Long to Be Princesitas
Marialy Rivas, whose previous feature Young & Wild won Sundance 2012's Director’s Biograpy World Cinema Screenwriting Award, returns to the festival circuit with Princesita an unpredictable and darker tale of a young girl on the edge of womanhood premiering in the Discovery section of the Toronto International Film Festival.
Marialy Rivas, director of Princesita
A teenager in Young & Wild, and now a girl in Princesita, are both on their way to becoming women, and both are entrapped by external rules and impositions from society and from their families. Both must break away from what surrounds them in order to conquer themselves, and both set off towards an uncertain future, but which in the end, belongs to them alone.
Synopsis: In a distant land on the southernmost tip of the world lives Tamara, a twelve-year-old girl who has been raised in a cult led by the charismatic Miguel.

As part of our celebration of the year of the month, 1984, Lynn Lee revisits the winner of that year's Palme d'Or, Wim Wenders' Paris Texas.
While it may not quite have the status of an iconic movie, there’s much about Paris, Texas that feels iconic. A hybrid of those two most iconically American genres, the Western and the road trip—directed, natch, by a German and starring two European actresses—it bears the distinctive features of both. The long stretches of silence, only occasionally broken by snatches of spare Sam Shepard-scripted dialogue or, as often as not, monologue. Ry Cooder’s haunting slide-guitar score, which seems to meld with the harsh, lonely, yet strangely sublime landscapes of Texas deserts, highways, and roadside motels. The lighting, especially at dusk. The weathered countenance of Harry Dean Stanton—how does it manage to be at once so stoic and so expressive?...

The late 1950s were a time of seismic upheaval and innovation in world cinema. In France, Francois Truffaut, Claude Chabrol and Jean-Luc Godard were backing up their boisterous critical rhetoric by placing themselves behind the camera and making movies the way they believed they should be made. English filmmakers were developing the kitchen-sink realism style featuring a lineup of angry young men. Ingmar Bergman brought Scandinavian cinema to global prominence, Italian film boasted the emerging talents of Fellini and Antonioni, and Japan unleashed an exuberant new generation of directors like Suzuki, Kobayashi and others who came out of the agitated rebellion of the Sun Tribe movement. Even India could put forth a prodigious genius like Satyajit Ray to introduce cinephiles from around the world to a culture that was ready to transcend the stereotypes and mystification that its recent colonial past had distorted. Among all the nations that could lay...

All week long our writers will debate: Which was the greatest film year of the past half century. Click here for a complete list of our essays. How to decide in the grand scheme of things which film year stands above all others? History gives us no clear methodology to unravel this thorny but extremely important question. Is it the year with the highest average score of movies? So a year that averages out to a B + might be the winner over a field strewn with B’s, despite a few A +’s. Or do a few masterpieces lift up a year so far that whatever else happened beyond those three or four films is of no consequence? Both measures are worthy, and the winner by either of those would certainly be a year not to be sneezed at. But I contend the only true measure of a year’s...

1984 wasn't all red sashes and Big Brother. Let's take a look back at Madonna, Prince and the other cultural landmarks of the year:

2. Frankie Goes To Hollywood tells the world to "Relax."

4. The first ever Turner Prize is awarded to Malcolm Morley.
5. Madge writhes around in a wedding dress at the MTV Video Music Awards while performing "Like A Virgin."
6. "Clydesdale" was slang for an All-American boy.

8. All hail Prince -- now on Twitter -- and the gift to planet Earth that is "Purple Rain."
9. Betsey Johnson goes in a strange Egyptian feline direction for her Spring show.

John Lurie has never allowed himself to be pinned down, let alone pigeon-holed. The multi-talented Lurie — this month the subject of a mini-retrospective at the Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn — has been for many years a highly respected musician and composer, putting out records both as a solo artist and with his band the Lounge Lizards. In film, he has directed short films and music videos, composed numerous soundtracks, and been an actor in films by Jim Jarmusch (Stranger Than Paradise, Down by Law), Wim Wenders (Paris Texas), Martin Scorsese (The Last Temptation of Christ) and David Lynch (Wild …...

Dark Horse Comics is pound for pound the best comics publisher in the world with super franchises like the "Hellboy" universe, "The Goon," the "Whedonverse," and "Star Wars" under its belt. They've also released Frank Miller's finest work (not published by Marvel or DC), and many new, cutting edge series and graphic novels. Dark Horse has more than proved its reputation as the biggest non-big two publisher, though it's yet to truly hit that Marvel movieverse or "Dark Knight" level of success at the multiplexes. The "Hellboy" flicks, "Sin City," "300," and "The Mask" were big but not Big. And we'll pretend the Pam Anderson vehicle "Barb Wire" never happened.
There are a number of great Dark Horse titles in various states of production including "R.I.P.D.," "Mind Mgmt," "The Goon," "Beasts of Burden," and others. Some of those could very well blow up the box office,...

Little Boots has unveiled the music video for her new single 'Headphones'. The clip has been directed by Bullion Collective. The collaboration with The Knocks is available digitally now and is released as an Ep via 679 on July 16. "The inspiration for the video was partly from the Wim Wenders film Paris Texas and the idea of a peep show revolving around headphones and listening to music as opposed to talking," Little Boots previously said of the promo. "The idea is that everyday characters enter a booth and on listening to the song their extrovert selves appear in the reflection, so the song is a way of releasing their (more)...

He may have made his name in some slightly more obscure/cult movies, but fans of cinema in general should be no stranger to Harry Dean Stanton. The 86 year old actor has appeared in such classics as Alien, Cool Hand Luke, Repo Man and Paris Texas to name but a few. And now he has a small, but very cool and funny cameo in Joss Whedon's The Avengers. Stanton plays a security guard who converses with Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) after his slightly greener, angrier alter ego crashes to Earth. It's a great scene, and was originally quite a bit longer but had to be trimmed down. In an interview with Badass Digest Whedon explains why this little one on one was necessary for the character of Bruce Banner, and why Stanton was the perfect man for the job.. I needed to get Banner from the horror of what...

Nastassja Kinsi by Richard Avedon
Editors note: For Nastassia Kinski's 50th birthday, I asked Glenn to write up a bit on her appearance in "One From the Heart" since it's a movie I know he loves (even more than me and I like it quite a lot) and also because I like to mark the big milestones for actresses and films. If you haven't seen this movie rent it. If you're too young to know Kinski's work, other must sees include Roman Polanski's Oscar nominee "Tess", the horror remake "Cat People" and Wim Wenders "Paris Texas". Here's Glenn from the great blog Stale Popcorn.
I’m going to commit what must be one of the ultimate cinephile no-no’s and go on the record as stating One from the Heart is my favourite Francis Ford Coppola film. Yes, moreso than The Conversation or Apocalypse Now, even moreso than...

While they may be the biggest name in web videos, the one trend that YouTube has seemingly steered clear of, save for partnerships with film festivals such as Sundance earlier this year, is feature film web streaming.
Being passed by the likes of Hulu and of course, the king of the game Netflix, YouTube has stayed relatively quiet with regards to streaming films, even after introducing YouTube Shows, which brought classic television shows to the computers of YouTube users.
Well, it looks like YouTube has had it with these other outlets taking their user’s time away from the online staple, as they have now introduced YouTube Movies. The collection of films clocks in at roughly 400 pieces, ranging from documentaries like After The Revolution, to an entire section of Bollywood films.
Now, while after looking through the selection of films, I didn’t see any Criterion Collection films as part of the collection here,...

Many people talk about the importance of day and date delivery for home media, and the eventual shift towards that model. Over the past few months, we’ve seen several Criterion Collection films available on the day of their DVD/Blu-ray releases, including Paris Texas, Rome Open City, Che, and Summer Hours.
This past Friday, Netflix quietly added three more Criterion Collection films to their Watch Instantly selection, including another film that hasn’t even been released on DVD / Blu-ray yet: Abdellatif Kechiche’s The Secret of the Grain. This is set to be released on DVD and Blu-ray on July 27th, so get a sneak peak now!
Another recent Criterion / IFC release was also made available last week: Jan Troell‘s Everlasting Moments, which just received a tremendous DVD and Blu-ray debut, with cover and interior art by the graphic designer Sam’s Myth.

The Criterion Collection just sent out their official press release for the September titles that we wrote about a couple day’s ago, with a piece of the puzzle that was notably missing on Tuesday.
On Monday evening, when everyone was speculating about what titles would be announced on Tuesday, for Criterion’s September releases, a few people spotted Terrence Malick‘s The Thin Red Line in the “Coming Soon” section of the Blu-ray area on the website, but with a black “box art coming soon” logo in place of the finished work.
We just got the artwork below, and it looks fantastic. If I’m not mistaken, this is the handiwork of the incredible Neil Kellerhouse, who has consistently been producing some of the best Criterion Covers, from Paris Texas, to the new Seven Samurai set, to the recent re-release of Walkabout. You all should check out his website,...
