Charles Mudede on Claire Denis and the modern urban family: The urban family has a different and deeper set of values that are not connected by a sense of soil, wholesomeness, health, or devotion, but by the condition of being with (and close to) others who share the same fate, loneness, and melancholy. The urban family exists in a disenchanted world —science, capitalism, and cosmopolitanism...

Recent American films about families, like Rachel Getting Married , all too often pierce eardrums with shrieks of dysfunction. Amid the din, French filmmaker Claire Denis' sublime 35 Shots of Rum stands out all the more for its soothing quiet, conveying the easy, frequently nonve...

1. Jim Jarmusch’s “Int. Trailer. Night” from Ten Minutes Older: The Trumpet (2002) Beware the omnibus project so vaguely defined that filmmakers can basically do whatever they want, confident that the theme is abstract and generic enough to admit any concept imaginable. Ostensibly organized around the notion of time as perceptual river (per an opening epigram from Marcus Aurelius),...

It's always quite paradoxical to say 'stick to the basics' or pursue a kind of simplicity not only in terms of sartorial matters but life in general. It is much like extracting the natural from our artificial existences in this...

The tenth installment of the Conversations is here, just in time for Halloween. In this latest discussion, Jason Bellamy and I turn our attention to Claire Denis' Trouble Every Day , a startling and deeply enigmatic film about vampirism, lust, infidelity and addiction. As usual, our discussion is fairly lengthy and intensive, covering not only the film itself but also diverting into a debate about...

preparatory to watching "Vendredi Soir" tonight, a 2002 Claire Denis InterviewYou know, I was twice asked to make films in the United States. I was even offered Boys Don't Cry. That was six years ago, but I didn't like the idea of making that film. I had just done J'ai pas sommeil (I Can't Sleep, 1993), I got the impression that they were offering me yet another news-in-brief item: “Oh...

Director Claire Denis -- who was born in France but raised in colonial Africa -- enjoyed a measure of art-house buzz when she leapt onto the scene in 1989 with her film Chocolat (not to be confused with the awful 2000 Johnny Depp/Juliette Binoche movie of the same name). Siskel & Ebert praised it and Denis on their show at the time. In 2000, her film Beau Travail topped the Film Comment critics'...

Alan our Film Programmer is staying true to his word.. see below! PAPER HEART: A semi-fake "documentary" about the efforts of kooky comedienne and actress Charlyne Yi (good in Knocked Up) to find out if ther's such a thing as love and whether she can have some, there just weren't enough funny bits to justify its cute though over-smart concept. Credibility gets strained when Yi meets real-life...

I've been sluggish with the pre-festival press screenings, but now that this thing is in swing, I'm going for broke. Look to the sidebar for my undoubtedly over-ambitious viewing planner for the next two weeks -- I'll add in grades as and when each film is ticked off. Today's morning slot brought us John Hillcoat's The Road , which is a lot better than you may have heard , while stalling some way short...
