Therese Desqueyroux Closed Cannes Film Festival
27 May 2012 6:16 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Guess we’re all interested in the upcoming Therese D or Thérèse Desqueyroux movie, which closed Cannes Film Festival, simply because it stars Audrey Tautou, best known to us from the 2001′ French movie Amelie. Directed by Claude Miller, this movie centers on a woman trapped in a disappointing marriage who tries to reclaim her freedom [...]

Audrey Tautou Gets To 'The Darker Side Of Humanity'
27 May 2012 2:11 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France — Actress Audrey Tautou, known for her sweet and light roles in such films as "Amelie," praised the late director Claude Miller as a "bright and passionate" filmmaker who helped her turn in a darker direction in his final film.
The French star plays a husband-poisoner in Miller's "Therese Desqueyroux," which closed the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday at a special screening celebrating the lauded New Wave filmmaker, who died last month of cancer at age 70.
The contemporary of Francois Truffaut, whose large body of work includes 1998's Cannes Jury Prize winner "Class Trip," helped Tautou to take on the role in the adaptation of Francois Mauriac's novel about a frustrated wife who slowly tries to kill her husband with arsenic to get freedom.
The gritty role, and Miller's acuity and patience, helped her unlock her inner dark side.

Helena Bonham-Carter And Kathy Bates Sign On To Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 'The Young And Prodigious Spivet'
16 May 2012 5:12 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Given that he directed one of the most successful French films of all time, in the shape of 2001's still-delightful "Amelie," it's surprising that director Jean-Pierre Jeunet hasn't worked in Hollywood more. But then again, given that his only English-language picture to date was the woeful "Alien: Resurrection," perhaps it's not so surprising after all. Hollywood has come calling, of course: the director was courted to make films including "Life of Pi," "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Mirror Mirror," but he's generally preferred to march to the beat of his own drum, with two French-language pictures in the last decade, the underrated "A Very Long Engagement," and the slight, but enjoyable, "MicMacs."
But finally, Jeunet is about to cross the Atlantic again: since last year, he's been working on a second-English language feature, a 3D adaptation of Reif Larsen's cult 2009 novel "The Selected Works Of T. »

Bonham Carter Finds A Spivet
16 May 2012 3:07 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
A little less than a year ago, news arrived that Amelie / Micmacs filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet was ready to jump into his next job, and, even more excitingly, back to English for his first film since that one we don’t really talk about. You know, the one set in the Alien universe… But all eyes are now on The Young And Prodigious Spivet, which has just added Helena Bonham Carter and Kathy Bates to its cast. Jeunet adapted the script from Rief Larson’s novel The Selected Works Of Ts Spivet, working with regular collaborator Guillaume Laurent.Spivet revolves around the titular youngster (Kyle Catlett) a boy boasting extraordinary navigation and other skills who leaves his father (Callum Keith Rennie) and the rest of his family behind in Montana to head out on a cross-country quest to the Smithsonian in Washington to receive a prize.While Jeunet has said that »
Dark Shadows – review
12 May 2012 4:03 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Based on a gothic series that ran on American TV during the far-off 1960s, Dark Shadows stars Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins, the scion of a prosperous British mercantile family in 18th-century New England, who's turned into a vampire by a local witch and buried at night in the local woods. Accidentally disinterred in 1972, during that brief period between Watergate and the end of the Vietnam war, Barnabas sets about restoring the family's fortune. Made in Britain, exquisitely shot by the French cameraman Bruno Delbonnel (who lit Amelie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Sokurov's Faust) and beautifully designed by Burton's regular collaborator, Rick Heinrichs, Dark Shadows is a visual delight. Depp is a poised, proud, sad figure, frightened by his own ability to cause harm. But ultimately the film is rather ordinary, a bit like a modest Roger Corman horror flick embarrassed by the size of its budget. »

Dark Shadows review
8 May 2012 8:31 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Johnny Depp heads up a starry cast in Tim Burton's latest gothic outing, Dark Shadows. Here's Michael's review...
If we were in the business of giving out ‘tl;dr’ versions of our reviews, we’d have this to say about Dark Shadows: yep, all the doubts and fears inspired by the film’s trailer are dead on target.
For the last ten or so years, since the sentimental Big Fish, Tim Burton has been honing his previously odd, gothic-meets-kitsch aesthetic into a rich, pristine gloss, all the while trampling on familiar properties from Sweeney Todd to Willy Wonka. 2010’s Alice In Wonderland was not only Burton’s most expensive, but his most successful film to date, but it found the director, who was once feted as the most distinctive of modern Hollywood visionaries, slipping towards humdrum mundanity.
Here, Burton is once more playing with other people’s creations, »
Delicacy – The Review
26 April 2012 10:49 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Can it really have been 11 years ago that Audrey Tautou stole hearts as the title character in Amelie? Seems her performance as that whimsical Parisian sprite captured the world’s heart. Since then she’s starred in several other French films and took a leap into an American blockbuster, The Da Vinci Code. Well she’s matured along with her fans and nows stars in a more adult, reality-grounded love story, Delicacy. Even though she’s got a grown-up job and love life, does she still have a bit of that daydreaming pixie in her?
As the film begins Nathalie ( Tautou ) glides through the quaint Parisian streets to a small cafe. A handsome young man spots her and is smitten. A year later he proposes, and soon they’re married and sharing a lovely apartment. She steps up professionally, leaving her job selling theatre programs with her best pal to »

New image for Ang Lee's Life Of Pi
25 April 2012 9:08 AM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
Yann Martel's 2001 novel Life Of Pi, an exploration of spirtuality through the tale of a young Indian boy stranded on a life boat with a bengal tiger, has received it's fair share of acclaim, winning the 2002 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, amongst others, and includes American president Barack Obama among it's many fans. He even wrote a letter to the author, describing the book as "an elegant proof of God, and the power of story telling". Plans for a film adaption of the book were set up in 2003, with M Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense), Alfonso Cuaron (Children Of Men), and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie) all attached to direct at one point or another. The job finally went to Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain), working from a script by David Magee (Finding Neverland). The film promises to be a 3D visual treat, hoping to emulate last years Hugo.

Delicacy Review
16 April 2012 2:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Audrey Tautou has come a long way since her touching, doe-eyed international debut in Amelie. The actress is typecast in such feisty, cutesy roles that it’s hard to determine whether she’s good or just a natural charmer – a bit of both perhaps. In debut directors David Foenkinos and Stephane Foenkinos’ new romance, Delicacy, we find a more determined Tautou at play – who still commands the screen in a delightfully challenging role about life, love and death.
Nathalie (Tautou) is a beautiful, happy and successful Parisian business executive who finds herself suddenly widowed after a three-year marriage to her soul mate. Struggling to cope with her loss, she buries herself and her emotions in her work to the dismay of her friends, family and co-workers.
After being pursued by her boss (Bruno Todeschini), Nathalie finds love and a rekindled zest for life in an unlikely source, her seemingly unexceptional, »

Claude Miller, Director of 'L'Effrontée,' Dies at 70
5 April 2012 6:45 AM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Claude Miller, the french film director and disciple of Francois Truffaut, has died, his production company said Thursday. He was 70 and was reportedly working on an adaptation of the novel "Thérèse Desqueyroux" as a vehicle for "Amelie" star Audrey Tautou. Miller is perhaps best known for "L'Effrontée," a 1985 drama about a young girl growing up in poverty, starring Charlotte Gainsbourg, and for "La Classe de Neige," a 1998 film about a young boy suffering anxiety attacks on a ski trip. Miller won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for "La »

Exclusive Interview with the Delightful Audrey Tautou for Her New Film 'Delicacy'
4 April 2012 2:53 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Since March 14, the French film Delicacy, starring Audrey Tautou, has been slowly been rolling out across the United States in limited release. The film, which is based on the best-selling novel by David Foenkinos, who wrote and co-directed the film with his brother Stephane, stars Tautou as Nathalie, a French woman who has buried herself in work since losing her husband of three years. But, seemingly out of the blue and from a completely unexpected source, her spirits are lifted when she begins dating her office subordinate, Markus (Francois Damiens). The film, as its title implies, is rich and enjoyable and one of my favorites so far this year. It is the kind of romantic film the French do so well. The kind of films that American audiences always claim they want to see instead of the typical Hollywood rom-com. A film that makes you want to rush off to Paris and fall in live. »

Interview: Audrey Tautou is a Delicacy
14 March 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Actress Audrey Tautou won America's hearts when she starred in the title role of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amelie in 2001, turning her into an in-demand superstar in her native France. Even so, she mostly shied away from Hollywood, her appearance in 2006's The Da Vinci Code with Tom Hanks being a rare exception, and in fact, she's only had two of her four movies released in the States since then, making many of her fans wonder what she's been up to the last six years. She's back now, starring in David and Stéphane Foenkinos' new romantic comedy Delicacy , adapted from David's bestselling French novel "La Délicatesse," playing Nathalie, a happy and successful businesswoman whose life changes dramatically when her husband of three years suddenly dies, leaving an emptiness »
Delicacy

Delicacy, directed by brothers David and Stéphane Foenkinos, and based on David’s novel La delicatesse, is a film that trades in whimsy without getting bogged down in preciousness. The presence of lead actress Audrey Tautou contributes greatly to the film’s charm. She’s a winsome actress, best known for her role in Amelie, who has great comic timing and a face that can convey both sweetness and despair in the blink of an eye. Both are required in this film, a story that begins with heartbreak and ends with the rebuilding of a life. »
9 English-Speaking Stars Who Got Subtitled

In "Casa de mi Padre" Will Ferrell plays a Mexican rancher in the middle of one seriously loco drug war. In order to commit fully to the role, the "Anchorman" star spent months brushing up on his language skills for the entirely Spanish-language comedy.
That's a lot of effort for a few laughs. But Ferrell is in good company with the following actors who took their performances to the next level by speaking in a foreign tongue, be it for a couple scenes or an entire film.

First Trailer And Poster For Delicacy With Audrey Tautou
23 February 2012 10:14 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Every now and then a movie comes along with a true feel-good atmosphere and we have a feeling Delicacy is one of them.
After having catapulted to international stardom with the charming and quirky film Amelie, Audrey Tautou has been on the radar as one of the best French actresses of her generation. Her newest film Delicacy is sure to be another hit.
“Audrey Tautou is Nathalie, a beautiful, happy, and successful Parisian business executive who finds herself suddenly widowed after a three-year marriage to her soul mate. To cope with her loss, she buries herself and her emotions in her work to the dismay of her friends, family and co-workers. One day, inexplicably, her zest for life and love is rekindled by a most unlikely source, her seemingly unexceptional, gauche, and average looking office subordinate, Markus (French comic star Francois Damiens, Heartbreaker).

Ae Movie Club: The Revenge: "Mirror, Mirror", Movie Romance, a "Rocky Horror" Flashback, and More!

Well hello there! Welcome to this week's installment of The Ae Movie Club, the most eclectic collection of eccentric characters since Wadsworth poured after-dinner drinks in the study. ("Not the cognac - just in case!")
I'm a very bad club president (self-appointed), because I didn't see a single one of the movies opening this week. Forty lashes with a wet Twizzler for me. But never fear! There's still plenty of cinematic fat to chew.
For starters, I've got a new Fast Five celebrating romance in honor of today's release of The Vow. I've got a great report from a recent Rocky Horror revival where star Barry Bostwick got more into character than expected (it's seriously awesome), as well as some seriously Vintage Beefcake courtesy of a studly leading man of days past.

DVD Review - Beautiful Lies (2010)
8 January 2012 2:05 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Beautiful Lies, 2010.
Directed by Pierre Salvadori.
Starring Audrey Tautou, Nathalie Baye and Sami Bouajila.
Synopsis:
Audrey Tautou stars in this witty French comedy about love and lies. Tautou’s character Émilie Dandrieux receives a passionate love letter from a secret admirer who is also her fellow co-worker at her hair salon, she then copies the amorous letter and sends it anonymously to her lonesome Mother. Trouble brews when Emilie’s disillusioned Mother Maddy thinks that she has discovered who her fictitious Casanova is.
This film is largely owed to a fantastic intelligent script which includes slightly dry, yet extremely sharp humour, and the way the storyline develops as Emilie descends into chaos, adds to the comedic value.
I was however, slightly baffled by the seemingly conscious parallels to the infamous Amelie (2001). The most obvious similarity is that Audrey Tautou is famed for her role as the adorable Amelie. I find »
