Film at Lincoln Center has announced the cinephile-favorite Revivals section for the 60th New York Film Festival, coming to NYC September 30 through October 16. The program showcases new restorations and preservations of important works from canonical filmmakers.
This year’s selection includes the hard-to-find “The Mother and the Whore” — which cameoed in the form of a poster featured in 2005’s “The Squid and the Whale” and brought the scandalous Jean Eustache some renewed attention. Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Bernadette Lafont, and Françoise Lebrun, the philosophical love triangle set against the sexual revolution divided Cannes audiences in 1973. Earlier this year, the Les Films du Losange restoration opened the Cannes Classics section. It makes its North American premiere at NYFF.
Many of the significant works featured in the lineup include the world premiere restoration of Claire Denis’ “No Fear No Die”; a new 4K restoration of Glauber Rocha’s incendiary, audience-provoking “Black God, White Devil...

Photo by Darren HughesTHE Beau Travail Effect When Film Comment surveyed nearly 120 filmmakers, critics, and programmers for its “Best of the Nineties” feature in the January/February 2000 issue, only four people mentioned Claire Denis.. A year later Beau travail topped the magazine’s poll of the best films of 2000. The only evidence I’ve been able to find of a complete Denis retrospective in the English-speaking world during the 1990s was one organized by Linda Blackaby at the 1997 Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema. Whereas between 2000 and 2003—following Beau Travail’s festival tour of Venice, Toronto, New York, Sundance, Berlin, and on and on—Denis was the spotlight of retros at the Cinematheque Ontario (courtesy of James Quandt), the National Film Theatre London, the Dublin International Film Festival, and the Northwest Film Forum. There were certainly others. This is not to suggest that Denis was unknown before Beau travail. Her first...

Since her 1988 debut Chocolat, Claire Denis has established herself as one of France's most respected film directors, with a wide-ranging body of work and a taste for danger. Her latest film, White Material, which stars Isabelle Huppert, draws again upon her colonial African childhood, and its violence has sparked
controversy in the French press. Not that she cares…
One of the lingering charms of the Left Bank of Paris in the 21st century is that, although much of the area has long since surrendered to chain stores and fast-food joints, the streets between Boulevard Saint-Michel and rue Mouffetard are still dotted with fleapit cinemas with names such as L'Accattone, Studio Galande and Le Champo. On any given afternoon – to take a random sample from the programmes on offer in these places last week – you can take in Battleship Potemkin, a Buñuel retrospective, a lesser-known Fellini, or Nicholas Ray's Johnny Guitar...

Last year it was Isabelle Huppert, the coffee plantation owner without a safety net in Claire Denis' drama White Material who was the head of the Cannes Jury, this year it is Denis who finds herself at the head of jury duty but in the parallel Un Certain Regard section, the same category where she once showed J'ai pas sommeil, back in 1994. - Last year it was Isabelle Huppert, the coffee plantation owner without a safety net in Claire Denis' drama White Material who was the head of the Cannes Jury, this year it is Denis who finds herself at the head of jury duty but in the parallel Un Certain Regard section, the same category where she once showed J'ai pas sommeil, back in 1994.

Anyone who knows the Claire Denis' filmography would most certainly know the faces of Alex Descas and Gregoire Colin (featured in the pic above). Descas' work with Denis dates back to 1990's S'en fout la mort, and the facially gifted Colin might have had more to work with in Nénette et Boni (1996), Beau Travail (1999) and L'intrus (2004), but in the handful of scenes we do find him in for 35 Rhums, Colin makes his presence known by simply working with a character that doesn't have much of an elaborate back-story. In his fifth Claire Denis film, you could describe his subtle character as a mystery man and though at some point he does indeed get rid of a carcass – it's far from what one might think. Descas delicately plays a man headed into the unknown of retirement - in typical Denis fashion. - #7. 35 Shots of Rum Anyone who knows the Claire Denis...
