Cannes Review: J.C. Chandor Puts Robert Redford Through Watery Hell In Bruising, Formally Rigorous 'All Is Lost'
19 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It almost feels like J.C. Chandor is showing off. In what is only his second feature film, after the chalk-and-cheese financial collapse movie “Margin Call," he sets himself a kind of exercise in filmmaking rigor, in the bare-bones, one-man survival-at-sea story “All Is Lost” and delivers. From the strong but talky, pointing-at-screens-spouting-financial-mumbo-jumbo of his debut, it’s initially hard to see how we could have predicted the filmmaker’s ability to deliver a much more visceral, physically gruelling, dialogue-free experience. But hindsight is 20/20 and what both movies share is an almost documentary-like immediacy to the material, and a hugely confident filmmaking style, unobstrusive and economical, that belies Chandor’s relative inexperience. Starting with a voiceover of a note he is writing, (really the only time we hear Robert Redford’s voice, aside from a couple of hoarse cries of “Help me!” and Sos calls) we’re introduced to a man, »

Director Saves A Life During Cannes Interview
24 May 2013 6:02 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France -- J.C. Chandor may just have saved someone's life during an interview in Cannes.
The director who put Robert Redford in a struggle for survival as a capsized sailor in "All Is Lost" is talking about mortality when a gust of wind lifts a large beach umbrella from its base and sends it and its heavy metal pole sailing straight toward a publicist sitting nearby.
Chandor snatches the projectile from the air just in time, to gasps from onlookers.
The garrulous American director shrugs off the feat – "I have good eyes" – before resuming his flow of words about life, death and putting a screen icon through the emotional and physical wringer.
"This guy is essentially me in a weird way," he said of the film's central – and sole – character. "Someone asked me if it's about my dad dying – my dad's still alive. It's about me dying. These are my feelings about this. »

A Storm Approaches in First Clip from J.C. Chandor’s All Is Lost with Robert Redford
24 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
J.C. Chandor’s All Is Lost has had its debut out in Cannes, and the early reviews are very promising.
The film is screening Out of Competition at the festival, so it of course won’t be winning Chandor or leading man Robert Redford any awards. But if the early buzz is to be believed, the film could well be a strong contender come Oscar time, and is positioned for an awards campaign with an October Us release date already set.
Fresh from its debut out in France, the first clip has washed up online, giving us a look at the dialogue-less film.
Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm. »

Cannes 2013: J.C. Chandor's 'All is Lost' is Meticulous, Extraordinary
23 May 2013 12:16 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Lost at sea. This film is a work of art. Stunning in so many ways, and it couldn't be simpler, but that's why it's so extraordinary. All is Lost, the second feature from Oscar nominated writer/director J.C. Chandor (of Margin Call previously), stars Robert Redford and only Redford as the sole captain of a sailboat that ends up lost at sea after being damaged in the Indian Ocean. There isn't any dialogue, only a few lines from Redford throughout, and nothing but him trying to survive on a boat for 106 minutes. It's grueling, thrilling, meticulous, inspiring and most importantly, moving. I can't stop thinking about it and how wonderful it is. All is Lost may just be a simple story of a man lost at sea, but the themes and metaphors and visual details hidden within are full of such depth it's truly spectacular and riveting to think about further. »

Cannes: Robert Redford Goes Practically Wordless in the Lost-at-Sea Drama All Is Lost
23 May 2013 12:15 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
It's shocking that All Is Lost, the harrowing, almost-dialogue-free film in which Robert Redford plays a lone man stranded at sea, isn't in competition for any prizes at this year's Cannes — and doubly disappointing that Redford isn't up for an acting award, either. Because judging from the universally rapturous reviews, and from the ten-minute standing ovation at last night's premiere for Redford and director J.C. Chandor (making a complete 180 from his only other film, the financial-collapse ensemble thriller Margin Call), All Is Lost would be the movie to beat.Why is All Is Lost being shown in special, Hors Competition (out of competition) screenings, ineligible for the Palme d'Or? Several people who've talked to producers say Cannes programmers declared the two-hour, practically wordless, single-actor nautical adventure "too commercial" to compete. (This from a festival that had Lawless and On the Road in competition last year.) My guess is that »

Cannes 2013 Review: ‘All Is Lost’ Finds Robert Redford’s Best Performance in Decades
23 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
J.C. Chandor follows up his sturdy 2011 debut Margin Call with a staggeringly ambitious if niche project that will appeal most to fans of its star – and, in fact, its only actor – Robert Redford. If the actor is better known for his iconography than his acting prowess these days – though is highly respected as a director and founder of the Sundance Film Festival – he delivers what is easily one of his all-time best performances as a lone man lost at sea. Much hype has followed the film considering the claim from Redford that the drama unfolds free of dialogue, and aside from a brief opening narration, a desperate plea to a fuzzy radio signal, and an enraged expletive, this is true. Chandor’s minimalist effort begins with the man discovering a hole in his boat, and finishes with the very end of his predicament – whether that is death or rescue will be the prime question occupying viewers’ minds »

Robert Redford on America: 'Certain things have got lost'

The writer-director uses Cannes press conference to say that the Us has lost its way since the second world war, and that rampant development must be controlled
Robert Redford today accused the Us of losing its way in the years since the second world war. Speaking at the press conference for his new film All Is Lost at the Cannes film festival.
"Certain things have got lost," said Redford. "Our belief system had holes punched in it by scandals that occurred, whether it was Watergate, the quiz show scandal, or Iran-Contra; it's still going on…Beneath all the propaganda is a big grey area, another America that doesn't get any attention; I decided to make that the subject of my films."
Redford, now 76, also had critical words for the Us's never-ending drive for economic and technological development, which he considers has been a damaging force.

Watch: First Clip From 'All Is Lost' Starring Robert Redford
22 May 2013 1:49 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Even with films from big-hitters like Alexander Payne, James Gray, Jim Jarmusch and Roman Polanski still to come, it seems to us like it's been a pretty decent year at Cannes so far (with our personal highlights including "Inside Llewyn Davis," "Like Father Like Son" and "We Are What We Are"). But there's one film in particular that wasn't especially high on the radars of many, which suddenly blew up this morning when it first screened for the press; J.C. Chandor's "All Is Lost." The filmmaker broke out two years back with "Margin Call," an acclaimed Sundance film that proved to be a pioneering hit on VOD and in theaters, as well as picking up the first-time writer/director an Oscar nomination for his screenplay. He followed it up with something quite different; from a talky ensemble piece to a film featuring one person -- legendary star Robert Redford -- and almost no dialogue. »

Cannes Review: Robert Redford's Actions Speak Much Louder Than Words in 'All Is Lost'
22 May 2013 11:48 AM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
J.C. Chandor's Oscar-nominated screenplay for "Margin Call" took him 10 years to write. That film was a deliberate, careful study of what it takes for a man to survive on Wall Street, with a large ensemble cast. But while Chandor's new film, "All Is Lost," makes use of the same deceptively simple writing and directing style, this time it stars just one person: Robert Redford. "All Is Lost," which is screening out of competition at Cannes, begins with a few plainspoken words from Redford, whose character is at sea on a »

'All is Lost' (2013) Movie Review - Cannes Film Festival
22 May 2013 11:31 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Alone at sea, 1,700 nautical miles from shore in the Indian Ocean, one man awakes aboard his yacht, the "Virginia Jean". The boat is taking on water after being struck by a shipping container fallen from a freighter and floating at sea. He repairs the hole, but the salt water has damaged his equipment and he's sailing blind. All is Lost traces this man's journey against the elements in a fight for survival and the end result is a tremendous piece cinema unlike anything you're likely to have seen before. All is Lost was written and directed by J.C. Chandor (Margin Call), from a script only 30 pages long, largely consisting of prose describing one scene to the next, without any dialogue. As it turns out, the film, which features Robert Redford in the lead (and only) role, includes only a few lines of dialogue, the majority of which are "help", an expletive, »

Cannes 2013: With hardly a line of dialogue, Robert Redford is marvelous as a man lost at sea. Plus, Liz Taylor's bling
22 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
All Is Lost is a man-stranded-at-sea movie, starring Robert Redford, in a role that has almost no dialogue, as a fellow who wakes up in his small yacht, somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean, only to discover that a random floating railway car — who knows how it got there? — has gashed a hole in the boat’s hull. It’s like his own miniature iceberg scrape: All of a sudden, his boat could go down, and him with it. Most movies that strand a solitary figure at sea, like Life of Pi, or on a desert island, like »

Oscar Contender Once Again?
22 May 2013 9:37 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France -- Robert Redford makes actions speak louder than words in shipwreck drama "All Is Lost."
He doesn't have much choice. A man-versus-nature tale about a lone sailor adrift on the Indian Ocean, J.C. Chandor's movie has no dialogue, just a few lines of voiceover at the start and a couple of heartfelt expletives.
Redford said he was excited by "the challenge of being solitary, alone, without having the crutch of words."
The second feature from "Margin Call" director Chandor, "All Is Lost" is screening out of competition at Cannes, where both it and 76-year-old screen icon Redford got a warm reception Wednesday.
The Independent newspaper declared the film "utterly compelling viewing," while Variety called Redford "superb."
"I believe in the value of silence in film," Redford told reporters. "I believe it in life as well, because there's a lot of talk around – maybe too much."

Cannes Review Roundup: Robert Redford Keeps Things Afloat in Chandor's Dire Existential Adventure 'All Is Lost'
22 May 2013 8:52 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Reviews are coming in from Cannes for J.C. Chandor's ("Margin Call") second feature, "All Is Lost," a virtually dialogue-free adventure starring Robert Redford as a 70ish man battling the ocean elements solo on his boat. Reactions are largely positive, praising Redford's "tour de force" performance and Chandor's existential direction, while dissenters wish Godspeed to the film's languid pace -- that "a shark attack might put poor Redford out of his misery." Roundup below. Indiewire: J.C. Chandor's flashy directorial debut "Margin Call" contained a complicated plot involving financial turmoil, an ensemble of name actors and numerous locations. His followup, "All Is Lost," takes place at the complete opposite end of the production scale: Robert Redford spends its entire duration fighting for his life while lost at sea, hardly speaking at all, and barely given much definition. While simplistic to describe, however, the movie is an impressively realized work of minimalist storytelling. »

Cannes Review: J.C. Chandor's 'All Is Lost'

Robert Redford keeps the film afloat, even as his character has no such luck with his boat, in All Is Lost, a rugged, virtually dialogue-free survival-at-sea story that sustains attention against considerable odds. Some may dub it Life of Pi without the tiger, but while the stranded seafarer situation is the same, the intent and tone are decidedly different.J.C. Chandor, whose excellent first feature Margin Call was most distinguished by its terrific dialogue, goes the opposite way here with a Hemingwayesque story devoted entirely to physical externals. Redford’s exceptional performance will serve as the primary commercial calling card for Lionsgate upon October release. The Old Man and

Cannes Film Review: ‘All Is Lost’
22 May 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
As close to pure existential cinema as American filmmaking is likely to get these days, “All Is Lost” finds writer-director J.C. Chandor decisively avoiding the sophomore slump with a picture that could scarcely be more different from his 2011 debut, “Margin Call.” An impressively spare, nearly dialogue-free stranded-at-sea drama that strips characterization down to basic survival instinct, this emotionally resonant one-man showcase for Robert Redford faces a fair number of marketing challenges, given its audacious minimalism and proximity to a much splashier castaway adventure, “Life of Pi.” Still, critical support and high-concept talking points could help “Lost” find its legs as an upscale specialty release, due out Oct. 25 through Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions.
Chandor struck upon the idea of filming an open-water thriller long before he made “Margin Call,” which earned an Oscar nomination for its verbally dexterous, multi-character screenplay. With “All Is Lost,” the writer-director seems to have gone in »
