Filmmaker Cedric Klapisch Researched the 1% for 'My Piece of the Pie'
14 December 2011 8:24 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
"My Piece of the Pie," the latest from director Cedric Klapisch ("L'Auberge Espagnole") is a timely contemporary dramedy that touches upon the economic crisis that's crippled much of the world. The film concerns a single mother (Karen Viard) who's forced to become a housekeeper after losing her job at the local factory. When she lands a job with a rich and smarmy power broker (Gilles Lellouche), her life takes a turn for the unexpected. In this editorial, Klapisch takes us behind the scenes of the IFC Films release (it's currently playing in New York and is available nationwide on VOD) to explain the research that went into the project, and his reasons for making a comedy with societal implications. As an artist, the concept of creating a fictional film to make a statement about real-life current events has always struck me as a terrible idea. My faith is in poetry, »
Exclusive Clip and Interview: Cedric Klapisch's My Piece of the Pie
8 December 2011 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
While France has produced more than their share of romantic comedies, and there have been plenty of recent movies about the current economic and political climate. Seldom if ever have those two very disparate ideas been put together, but in My Piece of the Pie , the new movie from Cedric Klapisch ( Paris , L'Auberge Espagnole ), the French filmmaker has found a way to tell an entertaining and comical story within the world of high finance. It's really the story of two people, Karin Viard's France, a mother living in the suburbs of France, working at a factory until it's closed down following the economic crash forcing her to commute to Paris to train as a maid. It's also about Stéphane, played by Gilles Lelouche, a ruthless daytrader who will do whatever he can to get what he »
Romain Duris Joins Audrey Tautou in Michel Gondry’s Adaptation of ‘L’Ecume des Jours’
29 August 2011 6:00 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
[1] Back in May, we wrote about Michel Gondry's plans [2] to make a film with Audrey Tautou. At the time, we didn't know a whole lot about the movie, but recently, new details have emerged -- and a new star as well. French actor Romain Duris has signed on for the project, which has now been revealed as an adaptation of Boris Vian's 1947 novel L'Écume des Jours. Translated in English as Froth on the Daydream or Foam on the Daze, it's a bittersweet, offbeat romance that sounds like a perfect fit for Gondry's playful sensibility. Read more after the jump. The project will be a reunion for Duris and Tautou, who've previously starred together in Cédric Klapisch's L'Auberge Espagnole and its sequel, Russian Dolls. Although Duris isn't very well known in the States yet, he's much better known in his native country. His notable roles include The Beat That My Heart Skipped »

Barcelona Review editor Jill Adams selects her favourite films showcasing the vibrantly colourful, and gritty, Catalan capital
As featured in our Barcelona city guide
Todo Sobre Mi Madre (All About My Mother), Pedro Almodóvar, 1999
What is arguably Almodóvar's greatest work begins with tragedy in Madrid, but soon moves to Barcelona, beginning with a breathtaking night-time glimpse of the Sagrada Familia, where the sheer buoyancy of the city steers the film in a powerful and dazzling new direction. Here Manuela (the magnificent Cecilia Roth) reunites with her old friend, the witty and wonderful transsexual prostitute Agrado (Antonia San Juan) – whose flat overlooks the Palau de la Música – while inadvertently immersing herself in the world of theatre and helping a naive young nun (Penélope Cruz). Art mirrors life mirrors art in this vibrantly colourful (literally), multi-layered tribute to women ("We are all women!'" says Almodóvar) that beautifully captures the dynamism and »
Tribeca 2011: Cédric Klapisch Shares His "Piece of the Pie"
5 May 2011 7:43 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
In the past two decades, Cédric Klapisch has become one of the most internationally renowned French directors due in large part by making the entire world part of his films, even if they take place in a single location. In his wildly successful "L'Auberge Espagnole," he traveled to a Barcelona apartment building where a group of students from around the globe shared the same wild life of being young and in love, and in his last film "Paris," he encapsulated the diversity of his native city with the stories of people from different ends of the earth all grappling with more somber aspects of the human condition.
Much of Klapisch's work has spanned the gamut of countries and emotions, but his latest film "My Piece of the Pie" is at once a smaller film in scale and a bigger one in scope as he shows the fallout from the global »

The Craziest Red Carpet Looks Of Helena Bonham Carter
18 February 2011 1:15 PM, PST | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Helena Bonham Carter is gorgeous, talented, and a walking fashion disaster. But at least she knows it. When she was recently asked about what she plans to wear at the upcoming Academy Awards, Bonham Carter responded “I have no idea. Of course I want to have fun…It’s probably going to be a catastrophe. But it’s like, I’m gonna go for it.”
The actress, who is nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for The King’s Speech, is eccentric to say the least when it comes to her red carpet style. Most recently, she was called out for wearing two different colored shoes at the Golden Globes this year, but she, and we, embrace the weirdness. So this is hardly a worst-dressed list or a post making fun of the woman we love for embodying Bellatrix LeStrange, the Queen Mother and human pie-maker Mrs. Lovett. Rather, »
