Posted by admin on February 19th, 2010
Eurocinema February Lineup Eurocinema brings you another great group of films in February. This is your last month to see THE EDGE OF LOVE with Kiera Knightly and Sienna Miller, so if you haven’t seen it yet, just check your on demand menu for the title or look for Eurocinema. Coming this month 3 new films a comedy from Russia a thriller and a documentary from Italy. Let’s start in Russia with FAT, STUPID RABBIT; Russian with English subtitles, directed by Slava Ross this film has won 3 international film awards and stars Aleksey Maklakov (DAY WATCH, NIGHT WATCH) and Nikita Mikhalkove (12) and critics call it “a little known Russian Gem”. Vodka, women, and dreams define the black comedy FAT STUPID RABBIT, The film set in a children’s theater in a small Russian town, centers on the lives of drunken actors who perform as pigs, goats, and plants. Arcady has spent the last ten years playing the role of a Rabbit. He understands that this may be the only part left in his actor’s life, but he wants more, he wants real art. Then a sponsor comes forward and wants to create a new show and wants Arcady to play the lead role. But Arcady will have to make creative concessions. A rare mix of a French drama, English humor and Russian depression. We move on to Italy for THE UNKNOWN WOMAN, Italian w/English subtitles a multi-award winning film (13 awards) and the official Italian entry for the Academy Awards. Directed by Guiseppe Tornatore (CINEMA PARADISO, BAARIO, MALENA) and he wrote EVERYTHING IS FINE which stars Robert DeNiro, Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale and it is still in theatres around the country. THE UNKNOWN WOMAN (LA SCONOSCIUTO) stars Ksenya Rappaport, Claudia Gerina and Pierfrancesco Favino. A Ukrainian woman named Irena calculatedly insinuates herself into the lives of a young, affluent Italian family. Stopping at nothing to become the couple’s trusted maid and the beloved nanny to their fragile young daughter. Irena risks everything in her quest to uncover the truth about the family. Like an intricately constructed jigsaw puzzle, THE UNKNOWN WOMAN reveals piece by piece the enigma of Irena’s past. Roger Ebert gave it 3 ½ stars and calls it “Hitchcockian and it has an Ennio Morricone score as well”. Also from Italy making its North American debut the same day it is released on DVD and theatrically, MAYBE GOD IS ILL (FORSE DIO E MALATO) Italian w/English subtitles, Directed by Franco Brogi Taviani, from a book and the travels of Walter Veltroni. The filmed sequences were shot in a number of different African countries, Kenya, Guinea, Angola, Uganda, Mozambique, South Africa, with each addressing one or more issues selected from among the many that are dramatically and, at times, explosively relevant to much of Africa today. The unifying motif of the film is the presence of singers, storytellers and musicians, both traditional and modern. By narrating a number of episodes interspersed with slices of real life they contribute to providing a portrait of a continent undoubtedly burdened by any number of painful, often cruel situations, but also full of life and, in many respects, unpredictable, with a magnetic allure that is hard to resist. WINNER X IBTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ON HUMAN RIGHTS. Piero Spilla, Vice President, Italian Cinema Journalists says “A Film that tells about, that narrates, explains, is indignant, is touched and touches.” Jim Hague is an author, lecturer, owner of Crystal Digital Images LLC, has no party affiliation and is a moderate.

Shakespeare-age: Best films
Posted by admin on December 18th, 2009
Forbidden Planet (Sci-fi “The Tempest”) – Not a faithful adaptation. Hamlet (Olivier) – I’m not a huge fan of this version’s “to be or not to be” and it’s a bit more presentational than modern audiences would care for, but it’s reputation is well earned. I liked Eileen Herlie’s Gertrude. Hamlet (Zeffirelli/Gibson) – Overshadowed by Olivier’s and Branagh’s version, this one is very strong. By far, my favorite Ophelia. If you don’t have enough patience for Branagh’s, let alone multiple versions, this would be the one to watch, though it had the same problem the Olivier Hamlet did – the inexplicable interpretation and insertion of the Oedipus complex. The film also had a lot of intensity. Hamlet (Branagh) – This one is going to be required watching for generation if only because it’s a reference version. If you have enough patience, but little enough that you’re only going to watch one Hamlet, this would be the one to watch. Hamlet (Almereyda/Hawke) – Very underrated. Hawke is the closest in age of the easily available versions, and Murray’s Polonius is great casting. Henry V (Branagh) – Just incredible artistry from acting to production. Very accessible. If you’re only going to watch one film of a Shakespearean play, this is the one to watch. Love’s Labour’s Lost (Branagh) – Disappointing. Macbeth (Polanski) – Gritty, bloody, and awesome. Great “Out, out damned spot” speech. Merchant of Venice – Pacino (also Pacino’s Looking for Richard, while not what you’d consider an adaptation, is interesting) A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Hoffman/Kline/Pfeiffer) – I don’t get the hate on this. It’s decent, but not great. Much Ado About Nothing (Branagh) – Like Branagh’s Henry, this is a great adaptation of the play to film. Good lord Kate Beckinsale was beautiful. Also has a Keanu performance, though I’d probably stop short of calling the performance good. Denzel’s amazing in it, though. O (Blake Nelson/Hartnett) – Modernized Othello, re-cast in a school setting. I liked it, but it’s been a while so I’d recommend the Parker/Fishburne/Branagh version first. Othello (Parker/Fishburne/Branagh) – Very well acted and produced. I have no reservations recommending this as a film version of the play. Richard III (Loncraine/McClellen) – It’s been a while since I’ve watched this one and I’m not a familiar with the play as I am with some of the others, but I remember really liking this. Set in a fascist England, the WWII-ish setting worked well. Romeo & Juliet (Zeffirelli) – Perfectly fine version that I’d have no hesitation recommending. Romeo + Juliet (Luhrmann) – I do like it, being fairly recent, it’s very accessible. The first meeting of Romeo and Juliet and the balcony scenes are visually arresting. Contray to your belief, it does use Shakespearean dialogue. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Stoppard) – I know this isn’t at all what you’re looking for, but if you love Hamlet, this is hilarious. That said, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re very familiar with Hamlet. Scotland, PA. (Morrissette) – Inspired adaptation. Somehow makes me not hate Andy Dick. Throne of Blood (Kurosawa’s Macbeth) – Great adaptation. Titus (Taymor/Hopkins) – A visual treat. Twelfth Night (Nunn/Bonham Carter/Kingley) – Awful adaptation, poor acting, and uninspired production. I would not recommend it. Really disappointing since I love Bonham Carter, I blame Nunn. On a different but related note, there are a lot of enjoyable comedy performances related to Shakespeare’s work, like the Reduced Shakespeare Company. It’s just a fun, lighthearted take.

HOLLYWOOD LOVES EUROPEAN FILMS
Posted by admin on December 17th, 2009
HOLLYWOOD LOVES EUROPEAN FILMS http://blog.eurocinema.tv/2009/11/16/hollywood-loves-european-films.aspx People (critics, especially) are always saying there are no new ideas coming out of Hollywood. Their making movies from ‘60’s and ‘70’s TV shows, movies based on video game and the endless sequels (SAW VII). But where does Hollywood really look for inspiration it is re-making European movies. Coming soon to a theatre near you are a couple: EVERYBODY’S FINE starring Robert DeNiro this is an Americanized remake of the Guissepe Tornatore’s 1990 film STANO TUTTI BENE with DeNiro in the role originated by Marcello Mastroianni. Film co-stars Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, and Sam Rockwell. BROTHERS starring Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey MacGuire, is a remake of the 2004 Susan Bier scripted BRODERS (BROTHERS) from Denmark which starred Connie Neilsen, Ulrich Thomsen, and won 13 film awards including an award at Cannes, Sundance, Boston, etc. Very little with the exception of the names has changed in the film. Let’s take a look back at some others: THE ASSOCIATE (1996) with Whoopi Goldberg and Diane Wiest was a remake of L’ASSOCIE (1982) adapted from the novel “El Socio” by Jenaro Prieto. THE BIRDCAGE starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane (1996) remake LA CAGE AUX FOLLES (1978). Based on the stage play of the same name by Jean Poiret and the script written by Francis Veber, Édouard Molinaro, Marcello Danon and Jean Poiret BLAME IT ON RIO which starred Michael Caine and Demi Moore (1983) remake of Claude Berri’s UN MOMENT d’ENGARGEMENT (1977) BREATHLESS (1983) with Richard Gere a remake of (1959) “A BOUT DE SOUFFLE” from the screenplay by Jean-Luc Godard and story by François Truffaut and it starred Jean Paul Belmondo.

The 1971 version was award winning and critically acclaimed, can’t say that about the Stallone version. COUSINS (1989) the Ted Danson, Isabelle Rosselini film is a remake of COUSIN, COUSINE (1975) Written and Directed by Jean-Charles Tachella DIABOLIQUE (1996) the Sharon Stone, Isabelle Adjani movie is a remake of (1954) film which starred Simone Signoret, “LES DIABOLIQUES” by Henri Georges Clouzot and based upon the Novel “Celle qui n’était plus” written by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS (1986) the Nick Nolte, Bette Midler movie is a remake of the 1932 film BOUDU SAUVE DES EAUX co-written & directed by Jean Renoir and based on the play of the same name by René Fauchois FATHER’S DAY (1997) with Robin Williams and Billy Crystal is a remake of the 1983 French film LES COMPERES with Gerard Depardieu by Francis Veber CITY OF ANGELS (1998) quirky film starring Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan was a remake of WINGS OF DESIRE (1987) directed by Wim Wenders and starring Bruno Ganz with a cameo appearance by Peter Falk. HAPPY NEW YEAR (1987) with Peter Falk is actually a remake of LA BONNE ANNEE (1973) from Claude Lelouch, who makes an appearance in the ’87 release as “the man on the train”.

MIXED NUTS (1994) with Steve Martin is a remake of LE PERE NOEL EST UNE ORDURE (1982) original play by Josiane Balasko, Marie-Anne Chazel, Christian Clavier, Gérard Jugnot, Thierry Lhermitte, Bruno Moynot, Jean-Marie Poiré MY FATHER THE HERO (1994) starred Gerard Depardieu and Katherine Heigl (TV’s GREY’S ANATOMY) remake of MON PERE, CE HEROS (1991) which coincidentally starred Gerard Depardieu written by Gérard Lauzier NINE MONTHS (1995) the Hugh Grant film is a remake of NEUF MOIS (1993) written and directed by Patrick Braoudé POINT OF NO RETURN (aka THE ASSASSIN) (1993) with Bridget Fonda and Gabriel Byrne is a remake of NIKITA (1990) (aka LA FEMME NIKITA) Luc Besson’s film that starred Anne Parillaud.
