oldhollywood : Jeanne Moreau as Catherine in Jules & Jim (1962, dir. Francois Truffaut) Although the film is named for the men, its animating force is Catherine, a creature both utterly timeless (Jules and Jim first see her visage in a photo of a Greek statue) and forever changing: at different points, she plays the roles of Charlie Chaplin and street tough, vamp, and doting mother. Passionate...
I am deliberately writing another version of this post to infuriate the 'sensible' women who read my blog and find this sort of thing 'offensive'. Everything that appears for my blog is written for my amusement and satisfaction/fulfilment. I find art, in particular, terribly boring when it's specifically designated for an audience. Anything that takes my fancy will appear in this blog. I am, after...

" I discovered at the age of six that everything was a phony, worked with mirrors. Since then, I've always wanted to be a magician." I had a lot to say about Orson Welles . I wrote a long dissertation about genius and discipline. About magic and illusion. But a lot of what I had to say was said in “ Anytime Movies II ”—I just said it differently. Suffice it to say that every...

Whatever one may think about the practice of remaking films in itself, some recent choices by Asian filmmakers make Hollywood's wholesale approach to remaking seem a little puerile - last in line, the news of a remake of Park Chul-Soo's intriguing 녹색의자 (Green Chair) . The latest to join the remake train is Japan, director Ogata Akira of 愛妻日記...
Also Fanny Ardant, Jeanne Moreau, and Tilda Swinton. I'm not surprised that David Lynch and Woody Allen think that their fellow skeezy old guy should get away clean, but why did those other people have to disappoint me so?

By Dan Callahan I first saw Juliette Binoche in Philip Kaufman’s adaptation of Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988), surely one of the most erotic mainstream films ever made. She seemed like a furtive-eyed little animal, bold but somehow hidden, even rigid, fiercely holding down Daniel Day-Lewis’ amusing womanizer Tomas until they achieve a brief moment of domestic...
Reviewer: Jeffrey M. Anderson Rating (out of 5): **� Israeli director Amos Gitai can be one of the world's most graceful and effective filmmakers, as in his extraordinary war film Kippur (2000), or in certain sections of his Natalie Portman-starrer Free Zone (2005). But he's equally susceptible to ham-fisted episodes, as with the clunky Kedma (2002). Unfortunately, his new film One Day You'll...
