First Poster For Lars Von Trier's NYMPHOMANIAC Gives New Meaning To 'Teaser'

Posted: 02 May 2013 04:30 AM PDT

The first poster for Lars Von Trier's erotic epic Nymphomaniac offers a slightly more tasteful and less provocative tease than the first still, though I still wouldn't go so far as to call it subtle. While the film won't be premiering at Cannes this year, its promotion campaign is kicking off and will apparently, "stretch over the next eight months, offering an extensive variety of materials unfolding the multifaceted universe of Nymphomaniac." Next up is probably the same poster design, except, you know: Ɛ≡=D. Meanwhile, just in case you haven't looked at the entire cast list all together, it goes like this: Charlotte Gainsbourg and Stellan Skarsgård along with Stacy Martin, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Uma Thurman, Willem Dafoe, Connie Nielsen, Mia Goth,...

Posted: 01 May 2013 11:30 PM PDT

Daniel Radcliffe will get threatened by the Yakuza in 2014 in the upcoming film Tokyo Vice, an adaptation of the memoir by the same title by American journalist Jake Adelstein. Adelstein wrote for the newspaper Yomiuri Shinbun where he uncovered a scandal involving a high ranking Yakuza boss, Goto Tadasama, and a deal with the FBI. Goto was the founding head of the Goto-gumi, an affiliate of Japan's largest Yakuza syndicate, the Yamaguchi-gumi. Goto was barred from entry into the United States because his gangster affiliations and numerous convictions but in 2001 was granted a visa deal by the FBI in exchange for information about other Japanese gang activities. He went to the U.S. to receive a liver transplant and made a substantial donation to the...

LA Film Fest 2013 Drops Full Card Including ONLY GOD FORGIVES, YOU'RE NEXT, LESSON OF THE EVIL

Posted: 01 May 2013 07:50 PM PDT

LA's big downtown fest has already announced their June festival opener as Pedro Almodovar's I'm So Excited and today brought the bulk of their lineup into the light of day. Most notable is the inclusion of Nicholas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives which heads to LA Live hot on the heels of its Cannes premiere. Some of you may remember that Refn's last Gosling starrer Drive followed a similar course. Also on the docket is the festival closer and Sundance hit The Way, Way Back directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. That film brings the red carpet appeal of stars Steve Carrell, Toni Collette, and Sam Rockwell, along with a great performance by young Liam James. Fellow Sundance stand-out Fruitvale Station will also...

Tribeca 2013 Review: OXYANA Is A Beautiful And Savage Documentary On The Plague Of Addiction

Posted: 01 May 2013 07:00 PM PDT

Oxyana is not a story about redemption. The feature-length documentary from director Sean Dunne, who brought us the most revealing look at a maligned subculture with his mini-doc, American Juggalo, is just about as bleak as it gets. With content this heavy, Oxyana might have been in danger of feeling preachy, melodramatic, or even agenda-driven, if put in the hands of a lesser filmmaker. However, as he did with Juggalo, Dunne lends a truly objective yet compassionate eye to the proceedings, allowing his subjects to speak for themselves. The self-portrait they paint is stunning, harsh, evocative, and, at the risk of sounding cynical, nearly devoid of hope. Oceana, West Virginia is a coal-mining town in the Appalachian Mountains. It's a tiny place with a small,...

Interview: Director Jason Mann On His Delicioulsy Dark DELICACY

Posted: 01 May 2013 05:00 PM PDT

If there is a lesson to be derived from Jason Mann's whimsically morbid short film Delicacy it is to expect the unexpected... and to relish it.Premiering last fall at the Telluride Film Festival, I saw Jason's film during this year's Tribeca. For those of you out there that may be attending the Newport Beach Film Festival, it plays tomorrow evening in the shorts block Shorts With A Twist.Delightful and dark in its humor, Delicacy follows Avery, a food connoisseur of the highest order, and his dutiful chef Jonathan as they hunt for "the meat of meats". I found the short to be an absolute standout in Tribeca's shorts programming because it created a whole world and a truly immersive experience in just ten minutes. This...

Full Trailer For Dhanush & Bharatbala's MARIYAAN Is Impressive

Posted: 01 May 2013 03:30 PM PDT

You may not know who Dhanush is, but you should. At the tender young age of 29, Dhanush K. Raja has already made a name for himself as one of the most talented actors in India, specifically in the Tamil film industry. While Bollywood take most of the glory, it is Tamil filmmakers like Bala (Naan Kadavul), Mani Ratnam (Bombay, Kadal, Dil Se), and Dhanush's own brother Selvaraghavan (Aadukalam) have made the Tamil industry into the prestige industry. Dhanush has a pair of high profile projects on the immediate horizon, both of which we'll be covering, but the first is a Tamil feature from Hari Om director, Bharatbala titled Mariyaan. There's been a teaser floating around the Internet for weeks, but there wasn't much to...

H.G. Lewis Needs Help To Make ZOMBIFICADOR A Reality

Posted: 01 May 2013 03:10 PM PDT

Herschell Gordon Lewis is one of the most polarizing figures in horror for a number of reasons.He, along with producer David Friedman, introduced the idea of the gore film to the drive-in masses and changed the face of modern horror. This is the root from which explicit horror has grown, everything from the Gialli of the late 60's to the 80's Euro-gore boom to modern torture porn finds its origins in his no-budget features like Blood Feast and Two Thousand Maniacs. It's pretty hard to argue that the quality of his films varies wildly, some are wildly entertaining horror comedies (like Two Thousand Maniacs) and others are, um, not. Regardless of that, the man soldiers on. After a long hiatus from the movie business during...

5 Most Intriguing Indies In May: NO ONE LIVES, SIGHTSEERS, KINGS OF SUMMER, And More

Posted: 01 May 2013 01:00 PM PDT

Hollywood's summer blockbuster season "officially" begins this week -- and I'm already feeling burned out. As a curative aid, I've picked a handful of the most intriguing indies that will be receiving theatrical releases in the U.S. this month, films that I haven't seen yet. You're invited to share your picks in the comments section. If you live outside the U.S., what are the local titles you're most anticipating? No One Lives (May 10) Our own Todd Brown acknowledged that the film gives "director Ryuhei Kitamura ample room to stage and execute a series of elaborate and gory kills," although he felt everything else was handled poorly. OK, fine, but while I certainly respect Todd's opinion, our tastes in horror differ, and I'm still intrigued...

MSPIFF 2013 Review: THESE BIRDS WALK Delivers Emotional Behind-The-Scenes Realism

Posted: 01 May 2013 11:30 AM PDT

Striking a poetic cord, These Birds Walk finds a symbiotic naturalism between those filming, newcomers Omar Mullick and Bassam Tariq, and those being filmed, the unwanted children of Pakistan. Pakistan, more than any other country, feels like an innocent bystander to the draconian war on terrorism, caught in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong set of circumstances. The Taliban found harbor in its borderlands, and the U.S. military marched in and took advantage of a government with few options. None of this is directly addressed in this impressionistic documentary, but by focusing on the most vulnerable and credulous demographic, it documents the heartbreaking aftereffects of the chaos imposed on Pakistan the past ten years. The behind-the-scenes setting is a safe home...

Enlight Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for the Wang Zi Ming-directed/Po Chu Chui-produced action comedy Badges of Fury.

Review: THE SOURCE FAMILY - Spiritual Utopia Or Exploitive Cult?

Posted: 01 May 2013 09:00 AM PDT

There are those in The Source Family, a film exploring a radical, Utopian community in the 70's, who still claim that they experienced unexplainable miracles while living under the guidance of spiritual leader Father Yod. Stillborn babies were seemingly magically resurrected. One touch from the master sent a jolt of light and electricity through one of his subjects and entirely changed the Los Angeles city-scape around him. He notes that he wasn't on LSD. There are also those who experienced emotional and sexual trauma as a result of the group, minors who were married in their early-teens to avoid statutory rape laws, wives who were discarded in favor of a group-sex mentality that evolved, fathers who left when their child got sicker and sicker as...

Review: POST TENEBRAS LUX Brings The Devil Home

Posted: 01 May 2013 07:00 AM PDT

As I review more and more films out of festivals, I'm beginning to notice a pattern: I'm much more forgiving and enthusiastic about films that shoot for the moon and fall somewhere short than with serviceable movies trodding well-worn territory that leave little to criticize. Which brings me to Carlos Reygadas' Post Tenebras Lux, a film which is audacious, frustrating, beautiful, shocking, emotional, impossible, perhaps brilliant, or, just as likely, a misfire. At times it's exhilarating, at other times it felt like trying to put together a puzzle that not only has pieces missing, but also has some pieces from other puzzles mixed in. But enough overwrought description -- my point is that Post Tenebras Lux is not at all conducive to the type of...

Neill Blomkamp's CHAPPIE to Star Sharlto Copley and Die Antwoord

Posted: 01 May 2013 05:30 AM PDT

Two years ago we reported that District 9 director Neill Blomkamp had another film greenlit after Elysium, no mean feat given that at that point the shoot of his big-budgeted sci-fi epic had yet to start. And then all went quiet around this new project, of which all that was known was its title: Chappie and a tentative release year of 2013. Of course, now that Elysium is about to be released (and is looking DAMN fine based on its trailer), Blomkamp's next film is under a lot more scrutiny. Yesterday, Entertainment Weekly revealed that Blomkamp regular Sharlto Copley will star, and that Chappie will be "a science fiction comedy in an unusual setting". Just how unusual will this be though? Blomkamp has revealed a wicked...
