Aisling Walsh with Anne-Katrin Titze on costumes by Trysha Bakker for Sally Hawkin's Maudie: "I wanted her not finely dressed, but rather nicely dressed." Photo: Courtney Richards
Aisling Walsh's Maudie, screenplay by Sherry White, with a score by Michael Timmons, stars Sally Hawkins as Canadian Folk Artist Maud Lewis (as in Paul King's Paddington, she holds the world together). Ethan Hawke is her husband Everett with Gabrielle Rose as Maud's Aunt Ida, Zachary Bennett as her brother Charles, and a Katharine Hepburn sounding Kari Matchett as a Peggy Guggenheim-like character named Sandra.
At the Crosby Street Hotel in New York, Aisling and I discussed her work with production designer John Hand, costume choices with Trysha Bakker, the paintings of Maud Lewis and her relationship to Everett, their home, and her family, and what it means to be a Naïve Artist.

Ingrid Bergman won Oscars for George Cukor's Gaslight, Anatole Litvak's Anastasia and Murder On The Orient Express, directed by Sidney Lumet. In Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words (Jag är Ingrid), Stig Björkman's warmhearted and elaborate documentary about the star, her four children, Pia Lindström, Isabella Rossellini, Ingrid Rossellini, and Roberto Rossellini as well as colleagues Liv Ullmann and Sigourney Weaver share their memories about the mother, the woman, who never threw anything away. Alicia Vikander's alluring voiceover, Bergman's luminous face - and the camera's love for it - are a perfect match.
At Payard on Houston Street, the director and Stina Gardell joined me to discuss Ingrid Bergman, her children, Michael Nyman, Liv Ullmann relating an Ingmar Bergman Autumn Sonata moment, Eva Dahlgren and praise from Arnaud Desplechin.

Atom Egoyan's intense abduction thriller The Captive, starring Ryan Reynolds, Rosario Dawson, Scott Speedman and Mireille Enos with Kevin Durand, Alexia Fast and Bruce Greenwood, takes us to a wintry Niagara Falls and into the clutches of a hellish circle of internet predators. A house straight out of Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest turns out to be Marquis de Sade's chateau with Mozart's Magic Flute filling the icy air.
At the Crosby Street Hotel, I started with greetings from Alessandro Nivola, who is starring on Broadway with Bradley Cooper and Patricia Clarkson in The Elephant Man. Atom and I went on to discuss the link to The Sweet Hereafter, fairy tales, Greek mythology, Cornwall and shifting perception, and ended up at Die Walküre and Remember.

Finsterworld's Christian Kracht and Frauke Finsterwalder with Anne-Katrin Titze in New York
On a sunny morning on Broadway, high above Houston Street, I met with filmmaker Frauke Finsterwalder and her co-screenwriter, author Christian Kracht, to speak about their intricately constructed Finsterworld. We discussed why the film could only have been written from outside, childhood obsessions allowed to artists, fairy tale houses made of food and Wes Anderson's stylised truth.
Sandra Hüller as Franziska: "Actually, she wants to scream at him 'Can't you say something? I'm wasting my time'."
This is the Germany of the unconscious where Teutonic earth spirits coexist with pedicurist Claude (Michael Maertens), who, in a raspberry colored turtleneck, works foot-magic at a nursing home. Margit Carstensen, the star of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's films, plays Maria Sandberg, the object of his special affections. In loosely connected strands we meet the different generations of the Sandberg family.

Steve Coogan: 'You have to reach a climax, a crescendo' Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze The first snowflakes fell in Manhattan this season as we were chatting with Steve Coogan about Jane Russell, Jesus and other sons in his film Philomena at the Crosby Street Hotel. "One of the touchstones was the film Missing [directed by Costa-Gavras in 1982] with Sissy Spacek and Jack Lemmon - they go on a journey looking for a missing son," he said and explained the complex tone of the movie he co-wrote, produced and stars in.
Directed by Stephen Frears and based on the book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee by BBC correspondent Martin Sixsmith, the movie Philomena chronicles the journey Sixsmith (Coogan) and Philomena (played by Judi Dench and Sophie Kennedy Clark in the flashbacks) took together to find her son who had been adopted by an American couple as a toddler.

Eye For Film critic Anne-Katrin Titze will moderate a Q&A at The Paris Theatre in New York City, with Reaching For The Moon (Flores Raras) director Bruno Barreto, co-screenwriter Matthew Chapman, and producer Lucy Barreto on Saturday, November 9, following the 7:00pm screening.
In my conversation with Bruno Barreto during the Tribeca Film Festival, we discussed how Deborah Kerr, co-starring with Cary Grant in Leo McCarey's An Affair To Remember, is channeled by Miranda Otto and how Sydney Pollack's Out Of Africa made for the perfect pitch, even without Meryl Streep or Robert Redford.
At the Crosby Street Hotel we began part 2 of our conversation with the actresses of Reaching For The Moon, onto the exploration of Crô: O Filme, and the Gravity of George Clooney, coming up.
