Brad Pitt Says He's 'Getting Old'
29 November 2012 12:21 PM, PST | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Brad Pitt is turning 50 next year. It's hard to believe that the star who made a splash showing off his ridiculously toned abs in Thelma & Louise 21 years ago is now, as he puts it, "definitely past halfway." Photos: Cannes Day 7: Brad Pitt's 'Killing Them Softly' Premiere, 'Le Grand Soir' Photocall In an interview with the Associated Press promoting his latest film, Killing Them Softly, Pitt, who turns 50 next December, opens up about his own mortality, his unconventional film roles and that Chanel ad.

BFI London Film Festival 2012: 'Le Grand Soir' review
10 October 2012 9:11 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★★☆☆ Following last year's underwhelming Mammuth (2010), directors Benoît Delépine and Gustave de Kervern present their latest oddball comedy Le Grand Soir (2012) in the 'Laugh' section of the 56th London Film Festival. Our protagonist is Not (Benoît Poelvoorde), "the oldest punk in Europe with a dog" as he describes himself. Despite his ostensible claims to living a life of freedom, Not gravitates around a single shopping mall on the edge of town where his mother and father own a chip shop, which he consequently visits in order to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Cannes: Reese Witherspoon, Matthew McConaughey Talk ‘Mud’
27 May 2012 10:43 PM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
Sunday was the last day of the Cannes Film Festival, but in the minds of festival-goers Saturday might have well as been the end. The overcrowded press room, where it has been impossible to find a seat all week, was eerily empty, and walking around the Croisette was no longer a traffic jam of people. I spent the morning sitting down with New York University graduate Matthew James Reilly, a short film director, who's film "Abigail," won second-prize from the Cinéfonation, a sidebar of the festival for student short films. Other awards were announced as well on Saturday including the prizes for the Un Certain Regard selection. The main Prize went to Michel Franco for his film "Después de Lucia," and a Special Jury Prize was given to "Le Grand Soir" by Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern.

Film News: Michael Haneke’s ‘Amour’ Wins Top Prize at Cannes Festival
27 May 2012 2:37 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – After receiving eight previous prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, German filmmaker Michael Haneke became the first person in history to win the Palme d’Or twice within a mere three-year period. Haneke snagged the top prize at Cannes for “Amour,” a widely praised drama about an elderly couple whose love is challenged by the physical frailties of age.
At the May 27th award ceremony for the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival, Haneke was joined onstage by his film’s two stars, the legendary French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant (whose performance in “Amour” marks his first onscreen appearance in nine years) and Emmanuelle Riva (of “Hiroshima Mon Amour” fame). In his acceptance speech, the director credited his two actors for being “the essence” of his film, while noting that “Amour” was “in part an illustration of the promise” that he and his wife made to one another. Haneke won the »

'Amour' Wins the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival
27 May 2012 12:21 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Today the winners at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival were announced with Michael Haneke's accepting the Palme d'Or for his devastating new film, Amour, a story of an 80-something couple in which the wife is slowly dying and her husband tends to her during her final moments. Of the films predicted to win, Amour was at the top along with Leos Carax's Holy Motors and Jacques Audiard's Rust & Bone. Ironically enough, the latter two films went home empty-handed with a few surprise winners elsewhere. In the acting categories it was thought the performances of Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva from Amour or the performances of Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts in Rust & Bone would be likely winners for the acting awards. No dice. Acting prizes went to a pair of divisive films, neither of which I saw, but both of which I heard exact opposite response from those that saw them. »

Will Amour see Michael Haneke win his second Palme d'Or? Will the nuttiness of Leos Carax's Holy Motors herald the return of France's prodigal son? Or will someone we've barely heard of and paid almost no attention to sweep to victory? Join us to find out who will win the Cannes film festival's most prestigious prize, the Palme d'Or
6.23pm: Hello and welcome to the climactic moments of Cannes 2012, which will reach its crescendo in little over an hour from now, when the Palme d'Or, the Golden Palm, is bestowed by Nanni Moretti and his panel of jurors.
Rather appropriately, the skies have opened over Cannes: thunder and lightning are crashing over the Croisette and rain is pounding on the Palais. It's a suitable backdrop for the anointing of a new presiding genius, a magician of cinema. Will it be Michael Haneke, whose Amour has wowed the critics? Or might Leos Carax, »

The film is a co-production between Bosnia-Herzegovina, Germany, France and Turkey.
Children Of Sarajevo by Aida Begic won a Special Jury Distinction. It follows the lives of Rahima (23) and Nedim (14), orphans of the Bosnian war.

'Después de Lucía' Takes Top Prize In Un Certain Regard At Cannes; 'Laurence Anyways,' 'Djeca' & More Also Earn Honors
26 May 2012 11:32 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The Nice airport is getting a bit less busy, and the cafés and hotels on the Croisette are quieter as the Cannes Film Festival wraps up today. Awards are starting to be handed out and first up are the prizes for the festival's Un Certain Regard category, which tends to feature newer, lesser-known directors and slightly edgier fare than the main competition lineup.
The jury, presided over by Tim Roth (who also starred in the Critics' Week opening film "Broken"), has given the Prize Of Un Certain Regard to Mexico's "Después de Lucía." To be honest, we heard very little about this one on the grounds of the fest, but the film directed by Michael Franco follows a father and daughter who are starting their lives over in a new town. This should give a nice boost to the film which doesn't have domestic distribution yet, but for the buyers »

It’s only fair for me to say that Despues de Lucia by Michel Franco, which I did not see, must be one extremely good film. Why? Because it beat Brandon Cronenberg revolting, well-made Antiviral and Benh Zeitlin‘s phenomenal Beasts of the Southern Wild in for the Un Certain Regard prize. Other awards from the jury headed by Tim Roth:
Special Jury Prize: Le Grand Soir by Gustave de Kervern and Benoit Delepine
Best Actress: Emile Dequenne, A perdre la raison, and Suzanne Clement for Laurence Anyways
Special Distinction of the Jury: Djeca (aka: Children of Sarajevo) by Aida Begic

All the latest news from the Croisette, as Brad Pitt's new movie Killing Them Softly makes its debut
10.47am: Good morning and welcome to the latest Cannes liveblog. I'm ripping back the reins from Andrew Pulver as he gets the train down to the south of France, where he'll grab the baton (or, perhaps, just a baguette) from me and I'll fly home.
I'm back in the press room, which is currently humming with slightly inelegant excitement as Brad Pitt is about to walk past, on his journey from the Killing them Softly photocall to the press conference.
10.52am: The film itself is a blood-lust-tastic crime thriller set in 2008 round New Orleans. Directed by Andrew Dominik, with whom Pitt teamed up for The Assassination of Jesse James by Robert Ford the Coward, it's a tale of sweaty crooks and desperate junkies, cracked codes of honour and the primacy of cash. »
