This year's Lux Prize has been awarded to Philippe Lioret's "Welcome." What's the Lux Prize, you ask?

He blew our minds with the hard edged, cathartic drama of Head On before moving on to the fabulous music doc Crossing the Bridge and now returns to the kind of light comedy where he began his career with Soul Kitchen . Find me another director with three more different films packed so tightly...

By my research, Facets' upcoming release of Werner Schroeter's Palermo or Wolfsburg [ Palermo oder Wolfsburg ] through Filmgalerie 451 will be the first Schroeter film to see a DVD release in the US. Schroeter's three-hour epic won the Golden Bear at the 1980 Berlin International Film Festival. In addition to Palermo or Wolfsburg , Facets will release through Polart Tadeusz Konwicki's Salto , which...

Like the part of Cannes you don't usually hear about, the American Film Market is the largely unglamorous event held every year in L.A. where film buyers and distributors from across the globe come to put the business back in show business, looking at the latest Sofia Coppola film in the same way they look as "The Whiffler," a comedy about a 'roided up whiffleball player -- that is, as products....

I know I am two weeks behind with this, but it’s not like Asian Americans have been flooding entertainment and pop culture (I’m jus’ sayin…) However, I did finally watch New York, I Love You (a continuation of the much more robust and enjoyable Paris, je t’aime) and despite what some people are saying, there was [...]

VENICE, Italy – Prize-winning German-Turkish director Fatih Akin is turning to comedy in his latest film "Soul Kitchen," which showed at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday. The film, which is in competition for the top Golden Lion prize, represents a departure from the more serious tones set in Akin's 2004 Berlin Golden Bear winner "Head On" and 2007's "The Edge of Heaven," which won the screenplay...
