Cannes 2013. Dialogues: Johnnie To's "Blind Detective"
5 hours ago | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Blind Detective (Johnnie To, Hong Kong)
Midnight Projections
The second in our series of Cannes dialogues between Adam Cook and Daniel Kasman is on Johnnie To's Blind Detective, which screened out of competition as a Midnight Projection.
Adam Cook: Blind Detective stands out among Johnnie To’s recent work as one of his most outlandish and over-the-top films. In some ways, it feels like it meets halfway between his earlier comedies, made before he became such a rigorous craftsmen, and his present formalism. That being said, it retains a certain looseness and spontaneity that distinguishes it from just about anything he's made. How do you define this film within his oeuvre?
Daniel Kasman: I've seen a lot of To but not in any way a majority, and have especially large gaps in his earlier work (80s thru early 90s) and in a certain amount of comedies which certainly »

In Another Country | DVD Review
1 May 2013 10:30 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
After a cool reception followed its 2012 premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, South Korean auteur Hong Sang-soo’s In Another Country toured the festival circuit, quietly receiving a Us theatrical release last fall. With Kino Lorber’s DVD release, we are hoping that this delectable love letter to Isabelle Huppert finally gets the attention it so heartily deserves, though it may very well end up being one of those resuscitated classics championed decades after its initial release. Charming, sweet, and perhaps mistaken as being too simple, it represents a microcosm of Sang-soo’s fascinating filmography of repetition and recycling. Fans of the director may never champion this as his most accomplished work, but as a yet unparalleled homage to its lead actress, it’s reminiscent of a time when cinema was more acceptably prized as an exploratory and experimental medium. Unfortunately, it’s one of those delicate flowers of a film, »

Colin Firth To Lead Matthew Vaughn's Spy Blockbuster 'The Secret Service'
29 April 2013 4:16 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
As an actor, Colin Firth has proved remarkably resilient over his thirty-year career. After breaking through in 1984's "Another Country," a series of strong performances followed that never quite saw him become a huge star. But suddenly, 1995's TV version of "Pride & Prejudice" made him a heartthrob, and led to roles in Oscar-winners "The English Patient" and "Shakespeare In Love." Just as the roles started to dry up again, he played another seminal romantic lead in "Bridget Jones' Diary." And then, as his career seemed to creep into self-parody with the likes of "Mamma Mia" and "St. Trinian's," he got back-to-back Oscar nominations for "A Single Man" and "The King's Speech," winning for the latter. And it looks like another reinvention for Mr. Firth might be on the way. Aside from "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," his immediate post-Oscar roles, in "Gambit" and "Arthur Newman," have been disappointing, but he's »

April Showers ... With Zombies
23 April 2013 6:10 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
April Showers each night!
Have you ever seen Cemetery Man (1994), a schlocky Italian horror flick from 1994 starring Rupert Everett as the titular character? He fends off pesky zombies including his lover (the busty Anna Falchi) with some regularity.
Despite my long dormant Everett fandom (I was there right at the beginning with Another Country / Dance With a Stranger), I've still never seen this one all the way through. I was just thinking about this because I was in Nashville and some years ago when I juried there with Nick Davis, who loves the movie, he showed me pieces of it.
Everett's character Francesco Dellamorte apparently takes a lot of showers and apparently he's used to getting attacked by zombies -- just part of the job. more... But on this particular night in the movie they come earlier than expected. The lights go out in the shower, he sees one approaching »

Rupert Everett: 'Sex is over. I'm not motivated by it any more'
21 April 2013 1:38 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Rupert Everett has long been a martyr to his passions, but lately he's had something else on his mind. Victoria Coren, a lifelong fan, joins him for dinner to talk about his excoriating memoirs, his portrayal of Oscar Wilde and his urge to be a serious man
When Rupert Everett dies, he won't have a funeral. He has given this serious thought.
"I'll go on the bonfire," he says. "That's what I'd like."
At the risk of spoiling his cheerful plan, I feel obliged to point out that it's against the law to put corpses on bonfires.
"Yes, but it shouldn't be," says the actor, irritably squeezing lemon into his tea. "I'm sure someone can put me on there, if I've just died normally. I wanted to put my dad on the bonfire. But nobody else wanted to, so we didn't."
It feels awfully strange to be sitting in a restaurant with Rupert Everett, »

Isabelle Huppert visits South Korea and Naked Lunch comes to Blu-ray on a slow week for DVD/Bd

New On DVD And Blu-ray: April 9, 2013 Pick Of The Week: New In Another Country (Kino Lorber) Korea’s Hong Sang-soo isn’t a director who strays too far outside his comfort zone, opting to do variations on the same elements (filmmaking, booze-fueled love triangles, structural gamesmanship) than reinventing himself with each new project. But he steps out a little with In Another Country, which again follows a film director with romantic troubles but casts the great French actress Isabelle Huppert in the role, stranding her on a South Korean beach town for a triptych of different scenarios.

Exclusive! Pictures From ‘Iron Man 3′ Premiere In Seoul
5 April 2013 3:45 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Iron Man 3 has a lot to live up to in terms of box-office and critical success, as it happens to be following the biggest superhero film of all time, The Avengers. One way it is attempting to bring in the bucks, is to reach out and embrace the ever growing East-Asian market. Iron Man 3 filmed scenes in China and cast Chinese actors, as well as promising a different and exclusive cut of the film to Chinese audiences. It’s a tactic that many films will emulate, as Transformers 4 has already announced it will also be heading to China to film. Another country where cinematic offerings mean big business is South Korea, where last year the three big superhero films; The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Amazing Spider-man, reached a combine gross of $128,699,508.
This is probably why the stars descended upon Seoul for the World Premiere of Iron Man 3, »

2013 Cannes Film Festival Predictions: Hong Sang-soo’s Our Sun-Hee
3 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
#70. Hong Sang-soo’s Our Sun-Hee
Gist: No details on this one as yet, but expect soju, dudes with girlfriend issues, a leading character with some sort of affiliation to the film industry, kimchi, more soju, and a clever framing conceit involving flashbacks and repetitions. It’s a cliche by now, but Hong is likely to be remembered as our generation’s Rohmer or Ozu – working from the same template over and again, making only superficially negligible variations from one project to the next.
Prediction: The last time there was a Cannes film festival without a new Hong Sang-soo picture playing somewhere, Bush was in office. Sure, he just premiered a new film, Nobody’s Daughter Haewon, this February in the Berlinale competition, but festival proximity has never stopped Hong before. (2010 saw him drop Ha Ha Ha at Cannes in Un Certain Regard, and then Oki’s Movie barely three months later in Venice. »

Rupert Everett scoops Sheridan Morley prize for memoir Vanished Years
27 February 2013 4:07 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Judges reward 'surprising, hilarious and wise' follow-up to British actor's first autobiography Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins
Rupert Everett has won this year's Sheridan Morley prize for his second autobiography, Vanished Years.
The memoir, which takes its title from Noël Coward's last poem, picks up the actor's story in the last decade with a generous helping of Proustian flashbacks en route. It's Everett's second memoir, following his 2006 publication Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins, which detailed his rise to fame after starring in the film of Julian Mitchell's boarding school-set drama Another Country, at 25.
Everett, currently starring as Oscar Wilde in the West End production of David Hare's The Judas Kiss, has described the latest instalment "a middle-aged book" on account of its romantic nostalgia.
Published in September, Vanished Years was widely and lavishly praised in reviews, with the Guardian critic Talitha Stevenson describing it as "a tragical comical, »

DVD Release: Black Eagle

DVD Release Date: March 12, 2013
Price: DVD $26.98
Studio: Cj Entertainment America
Jung Ji-hoon, aka “Rain,” stars in the 2012 high-flying action-drama film Black Eagle.
In the foreign film, hotshot South Korean Air Force pilot Tae-hun (Rain) is kicked off the military’s top-notch air team and demoted into combat where his brash ways cause tension with the unit’s own ace top gun, the strait-laced Cheol-hui (Yu Jun-sang, In Another Country). Now they must set aside their differences and lead the way to rescue a comrade and prevent war …
Originally entitled Soar into the Sun for its international theatrical release back in August, 2012, which included a small release to theaters in the U.S. Black Eagle plays like a Korean Top Gun, complete with a lot of razzle-dazzle aerial footage.
Korean superstar Rain offers a lot of the appeal here, particularly to younger audiences—back in 2010, he won the “Biggest Badass Award »

Director Joe Wright: 'I go nuts if I'm idle'
20 February 2013 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Why has the director of Atonement and Anna Karenina decided to make his theatre debut with a Victorian farce hardly anyone's heard of?
As a film director, Joe Wright isn't afraid to give classic texts a vigorous shake. He made his name in 2005 with an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, scouring away the refinement of Jane Austen's novel and filling the screen with squawking chickens, muddy petticoats and wind-reddened cheeks. His recent take on Anna Karenina was more distinctive still: he set most of it in a huge, ornate theatre – a crisp metaphor for the artificiality of Russian aristocratic life. Luscious to look at and inventively shot, with characters moving fluidly from stage to bedroom, and from auditorium to ballroom, the film has been predictably laden with award nominations: for six Baftas (one of which, for costume design, it won) and four Oscars.
At the age of 41, Wright is »

Berlinale 2013. Impressions #4

Closed Curtain
Dir. Jafar Panahi & Kamboziya Partovi
Though it may lack some of the urgent potency of This Is Not a Film's profound implications, both political and philosophical, Jafar Panahi's second "not-a-film" is more formally sophisticated and intricate, an elegantly and movingly directed confession of the director's declining morale. If This Is Not a Film was a "statement" movie that took its limitations and Panahi's situation to make broader points about art and cinema, Closed Curtain sets itself apart as a more introspective look at a man prohibited from the world of work that has defined his life. Less concerned with playing up the restrictions on Panahi, which have been overblown since his film was smuggled into Cannes two years ago, the film emphasizes not the lawful limitations of his life but instead an existentially crippling alienation.
The film begins with a man (co-director Kamboziya Partovi) and a »

Rupert Everett (l.) and Colin Firth star in Another Country.
Rupert Everett (Hysteria) and Colin Firth (The King’s Speech) star in the 1984 biographical drama-romance Another Country, which marked Firth’s movie debut and one of Everett’s first starring roles.
Set in England in 1932, the film focuses on Guy Bennett (Everett), an upper classman attending an elite British boys’ school. Amid an atmosphere of wealth and privilege, the flamboyant Guy embraces awareness of his gay identity just as his best friend Tommy (Firth) faces a growing preoccupation with Karl Marx. Each rebels in his own way against the demands of social conformity. But it is Guy’s infatuation with an underclassman (Cary Elwes, No Strings Attached) that takes center stage as his contempt for authority clashes with the school’s rigid code of conduct.

Gerry Hambling obituary
11 February 2013 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Award-winning film editor who had an instinctive feel for pace, rhythm and nuance
Gerry Hambling, who has died aged 86, was one of the finest editors that the British film industry has produced. He was widely admired, particularly by his peers, for films such as Midnight Express (1978), Mississippi Burning (1988), In the Name of the Father (1993) and Evita (1996). He won many awards from the editors' guilds in the Us and UK, which made up for the fact that, although he was nominated six times, an Oscar always eluded him. He did, however, win the Bafta three times for film editing. My own collaboration with Gerry went back 40 years, as he cut 14 feature films for me, as well as three short films and scores of commercials.
As with many film technicians of his generation, Gerry's choice of profession was serendipitous: born and raised in Croydon, Surrey, he left school at 16 and went to work at the local factory, »

David Cronenberg, Isabelle Huppert & Denis Lavant To Star, Luca Guadagnino To Direct an Adaptation Of Don DeLillo’s The Body Artist!
29 January 2013 8:45 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
One thing is for sure – David Cronenberg definitely likes Don DeLillo‘s novels. All of the sudden comes an information that Cosmopolis helmer will star in an upcoming adaptation of DeLillo’s The Body Artist, together with Isabelle Huppert and Denis Lavant. Italian director Luca Guadagnino will be in charge, and the movie will have a bit shorter title – Body Art!
Guadagnino will direct the whole thing from his own script (based on the above mentioned novel of course) which centers on:
…a woman named Lauren Hartke who, grieving after her husband’s death, discovers that a stranger is living in her upstairs room.
At this moment we know that Isabelle Huppert is set to portray that lady Hartke, but unfortunately – there’s still nothing about Cronenberg & Lavant and their characters.
Anyway, let us also add that Paolo Branco is (once again) producing the whole thing, and that shooting on »

Review: ‘In Another Country’ Shows the Lighter But Less Engaging Side of Korean Cinema
24 January 2013 9:55 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
A beach-set comedic drama isn’t often what comes to mind when you think of South Korean cinema, but writer/director Hong Sang-soo has never been fond of convention. That’s especially apparent when it comes to his preference for nontraditional narrative structures. His films are often broken into sections or chapters with actors and themes recurring throughout to tell a singular or collective tale. His new film, In Another Country, follows this trend but adds a foreign face into the mix in the form of Isabelle Huppert. Hanging out in a tiny seaside town on the west coast of Korea is no teenager’s idea of a good time, and when family strife pushes her indoors one young woman turns to the page to pass the time. She’s an aspiring writer who decides to craft three tales set in the very same village using the people around her as inspiration. All »

In Another Country Movie Review

Title: In Another Country Director: Hong Sang-Soo Starring: Isabelle Huppert, Yoo Jun-Sang, Kwon Hae-Hyo, Moon So-Ri, Moon Sung-Keun, Jung Yoo-Mi, Yoon Yeo-Jeong An intriguing little cross-cultural curio that plays like a woozy, jazz-improv riff on romantic futility and destiny, South Korean director Hong Sang-Soo’s “In Another Country” is a trifling cinematic doff of the cap to French New Wave cinema, but kind of beguiling nonetheless. It’s an arthouse bon-bon all the way, but one that fans of French actress Isabelle Huppert will surely not wish to miss. “In Another Country,” which played in competition last year at the Cannes Film Festival, unfolds in three segments. In each, Huppert plays Anne, [ Read More ]
