Tokyo! Welcomes Back Léos Carax

6 March 2009 6:03 AM, PST | Interview Magazine | See recent Interview Magazine news »

Léos Carax played a Charlie Chaplin impersonator two years ago in Harmony Korine's Mister Lonely—other than that, though, the idiosyncratic French director (best known for 1991's Les Amants du Pont-Neut and often credited, along with Luc Besson and Jean-Jacques Beineix, with pioneering the cinema du look in the 1980s) hasn't had his name attached to much since Pola X, the incest drama he made a decade ago with Catherine Deneuve and Guillaume Depardieu.

 Is he still "French cinema's reigning mad romantic," as the New York Times called him then?  Tokyo!—the three-pack of short films by Carax, Michel Gondry, and Joon-ho Bong (The Host) and set in the Japanese capital—will give Carax-deprived viewers a chance to decide. His contribution, "Merde," focuses on a milky-eyed, red-bearded creature (Denis Lavant) that emerges from the sewers and starts tossing hand grenades around Tokyo. He's "a sort of Godzilla who attacks »

Seven Cesars for Provost's Seraphine

27 February 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- A biopic about an unknown painter cleaned up the 34th edition of the Cesar awards (France's equivalent to the Oscars). You would have thought that it was an homage to Sean Penn (the actor was in attendance, first row ticket) and the dearly departed Claude Berri, but this was Martin Provost's night upsetting favorites Jean-François Richet and Mesrine (who won for Best Director and Best Actor) and the Palme d'Or winner The Class from Laurent Cantet winner went home with only the Best Adapted Film. Séraphine won a total of seven awards.  Kristin Scott Thomas didn't claim the top prize for Best Actress for I've Loved You So Long (the prize went to Yolande Moreau in Séraphine) but Philippe Claudel won for Best First Film and a very emotional Elsa Zylberstein grabbed the Best Supporting Actress nod. Finally, a little bit of redemption here for Best Foreign Picture, »

R.I.P. 2008: A Rough Year For Hollywood

5 January 2009 3:56 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

For me, the only part of the Oscars worth watching every year is their tribute video, highlighting those in the movie industry that passed away in the previous year. It always puts a lump in my throat and often surprises me due to the passing of people I hadn’t heard about. And with the actors who were popular decades ago, it gives me a sense of melancholy nostalgia.

TCM (Turner Classic Movies) has put together their version of a tribute video which you can watch below, and it gave me the same feelings I just mentioned (I wasn’t aware they do one every year). It’s a beautiful video and very classy. They did miss a couple of people which I mention below.

 

I would suggest you watch the video before moving on to the list of names below it. It includes actors, directors, composers, screenwriters, animators, etc. »
