Berlinale 2014 Review: THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY Proves Middlebrow Is Timeless

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 03:00 AM PST

They've been making movies like The Two Faces of January since before they made movies. A graying man, his blonde haired bride, and the younger man who comes between them. Crime and chase amidst sun dappled vistas. Cops and con men, cigarettes and Stetson hats. To quote another recent film starring Oscar Isaac, if it ain't new, and never gets old, it's a globe-trotting romantic thriller. Isaac stars as Rydal, a late twenties American expat earning his way as tour guide and two-bit con man in 1960s Athens. Rydal's a soulful writer type, hustling visiting tourists for lunch money and writing poetry on the side. When he spots the visiting MacFarlands at the Parthenon, he's sure to have landed two easy marks. It's a crime thriller....

Jonas Arnby's WHEN ANIMALS DREAM Picked Up By Radius-TWC For U.S.

Posted: 09 Feb 2014 07:30 PM PST

It was only the beginning of last week when we first drew your attention to Danish filmmaker Jonas Arnby's feature debut, When Animals Dream. Now, news out of Berlin via Variety is that Radius-TWC, the genre arm of The Weinstein Company, has snatched up U.S. rights for the film. "It's extremely hard these days to find a groundbreaking genre film, but When Animals Dream is that rare gem indeed. I haven't been excited in Berlin since buying Let the Right One In," said Tom Quinn, prexy of TWC-Radius.That is mighty high praise for a film that has only been presented in snippets and is still in post. To be mentioned in the same breath as the highly touted Swedish vampire flick is great news. It certainly...

Spanish Exorcism Horror ASMODEXIA Goes To Raven Banner

Posted: 09 Feb 2014 07:00 PM PST

News out of Berlin today is that Toronto-based Raven Banner has acquired the international rights to Marc Carreté's debut feature, the exorcism horror film Asmodexia. Carreté has written and directed two short films prior to Asmodexia. He wrote this first feature with Mike Hostench, co-director of one of the largest and most important genre film festivals in the world, the Sitges Film Festival. The deal was negotiated on behalf of the producers of the film by XYZ Films, who own the North American rights to the film. I can only imagine this was done over many Bockbiers in a traditional German beer garden. One can dream. Asmodexia tells the story of a grandfather and granddaughter exorcist team, who travel the Barcelona area plying their trade.There was whiff...

Berlinale 2014 Review: Grand and Hypnotic, A DREAM OF IRON Won't Soon Be Forgotten

Posted: 09 Feb 2014 12:30 PM PST

Early on in A Dream of Iron, a new documentary premiering at the Berlin International Film Festival this year, director Kelvin Kyung Kun Park shows us images a whales moving through the vast blue expanse of the ocean - enormous creatures that were once considered grand and mysterious. Soon after, Park brings us to the expansive POSCO steel-making plant on the coast of Southern Korea and proceeds to show us the process of shipbuilding through a series of arresting visual tableaux. Gargantuan in size, these vessels demonstrate the soaring ambition of the human race, as enormous components are each readied for assembly with minuscule laborers dotting their surface. In a brave new world with seemingly limitless access to information, it takes a lot to stimulate...

Lee Daniels on Racism and THE BUTLER: The White House Was "A Plantation"

Posted: 09 Feb 2014 10:00 AM PST

Director Lee Daniels has been in Japan recently to promote his latest, Lee Daniels The Butler, and after a screening of the film at the Foreign Correspondent's Club the director was met with more than just the usual film-related inquiries. There were people present with their own recollections of actions during the civil rights movement, including an elderly Japanese man who was a student in Los Angeles in 1961 and had tried to help out but was told by his foreign student advisor to "stay out of our political problems or go back to Tokyo". A Jewish-American woman talked of her time as a civil rights veteran and questioned the lack of Jewish representation in the movie; Daniels countered that there was an adequate amount...

Berlinale 2014 Review: THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, An Ode To Joy

Posted: 09 Feb 2014 06:00 AM PST

Regrettably, Beethoven got there first. In another world, The Grand Budapest Hotel, a celebration of wit and style and class, an example of a technical master working at the top of his craft, a work as warm and genuinely funny as its director or any of its stars have made, in another world it could just easily have been titled "Ode to Joy".I don't know if this is the film Wes Anderson has been building towards, or if it's simply an example of the planets aligning in just the right way, but there is something The Grand Budapest Hotel that feels valedictory.  Maybe valedictory isn't the right word. Though I doubt Anderson is kissing his particular style goodbye (safe to bet he's not going mumblecore...
