Holiday Treat: Vogue Paris 2010 Calendar
24 December 2009 1:38 PM, PST | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
Sneak Peek the new Vogue Paris Calendar for 2010, featuring models Iselin Steiro, Natasha Poly and Raquel Zimmerman.
The French edition of Vogue magazine, published since 1920, was taken over by editor Carine Roitfeld in 2001.
Roitfeld is noted for turning the magazine into an industry leader in fashion journalism, restoring its Parisian identity with French staffers while supervising an 'organic' redesign of the magazine by Paris-based M/M.
"'Vogue Paris' is svelte, tough, luxurious, and wholeheartedly in love with dangling-cigarette, bare-chested fashion", said Roitfeld.
Roitfeld regularly draws criticism for the magazine's use of sexuality and humour, which she freely uses to "disrupt fashion's conservatism and pretension."
Vogue Paris also encourages regular guest-editorships, including Kate Moss, Sofia Coppola and Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Antichrist: Review
19 December 2009 4:24 AM, PST | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »
Director: Lars von Trier Review: Tim Irwin. You’ve probably heard a lot about the controversy surrounding "Antichrist," about its graphic content and obscene images. It certainly is provocative in its imagery and does not shy away from graphically displaying certain acts, but unlike a generic exploitation film it offers much more. In addition to being artistically presented it is also one of the most terrifying movies I’ve seen in years. There are only two speaking roles in the entire film. They are credited as He (Willem Dafoe) and She (Charlotte Gainsbourg). In the epilogue (named and titled, like all of the chapters in the film) they are busy fulfilling their marital duties. Unfortunately, they are too caught up in each other to notice their son as he steps out of the window and crashes to the ground. The entire scene is shot like an art film, entirely in slow motion black and white, »
1st Look: Julie Bertucelli's The Tree

We have our first look today at a couple of stills from Julie Bertucelli's The Tree – a sophomore feature that puts an end to that seven-year drought since Bertucelli's deeply affecting first film Since Otar Left. As you can see below, that is Antichrist's Charlotte Gainsbourg once again bemused by the presence of a tree. - We have our first look today at a couple of stills from Julie Bertucelli's The Tree – a sophomore feature that puts an end to that seven-year drought since Bertucelli's deeply affecting first film Since Otar Left (the grandmother-mother-daughter three-way tale of Georgian women lead by a 90-year-old mother inside the unpromising future of the former Soviet republic). As you can see below, that is Antichrist's Charlotte Gainsbourg once again bemused by the presence of a tree. Adapted from Judy Pascoe’s novel Our Father Who Art in a Tree, »
2009 Efa Noms: This Year's Favorite (A Prophet) vs. Last Year's Fave (Slumdog)

With the film eligibility dates covering portions of two years, the 2009 European Film Awards finds itself in an awkward mode of having a clear favorites from circa 2008 (Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In) go up against cream of the crop from Cannes 2009 (A Prophet, The White Ribbon and Fish Tank). - With the film eligibility dates covering portions of two years, the 2009 European Film Awards finds itself in an awkward mode of having a clear favorites from circa 2008 (Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In) go up against cream of the crop from Cannes 2009 (A Prophet, The White Ribbon and Fish Tank). Jacques Audiard's A Prophet leads all nominations with a total of six with Best European Film, Director, Screenwriter, Actor (Tahar Rahim), Cinematography and Sound Design.

European Film Awards 2009 Predictions: Best Actress, Actor
12 December 2009 2:33 AM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Penélope Cruz has already won a best actress European Film Award (for Volver in 2006) and since her role in Broken Embraces is borderline supporting, my guess is that Cannes winner Charlotte Gainsbourg (above, with Willem Dafoe) will be the one taking home the prize for her bereaved sexed-out mother in Lars von Trier’s Antichrist. But who knows? Oscar winner Kate Winslet (for The Reader) could be the dark horse who splits the vote with the brown one (Katie Jarvis for Fish Tank) so the rainbow-colored equine (French Academy’s Cesar winner Yolande Moreau in Séraphine) can win. For the best actor award, I’d say the race is between two Cannes favorites: Tahar Rahim (above) for his [...] »

Trailer for Serge Gainsbourg biopic Gainsbourg (Vie Heroique)
3 December 2009 2:53 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
French 60s pop fans have reason to rejoice because the first trailer for the new Serge Gainsbourg biopic, called simply Gainsbourg, has finally been released.
I know what you're thinking and yes, Serge is indeed the father of Antichrist star Charlotte Gainsbourg, but he's also one of the most iconic French personalities in history as well as a massively respected name in contemporary pop music. Oh yeah, and he successfully bedded Brigitte Bardot, so yes, he truly lived a full life.
Synopsis:
A glimpse at the life of French singer Serge Gainsbourg, from growing up in 1940s Nazi-occupied Paris through his successful song-writing years in the 1960s to his death in 1991 at the age of 62.
The trailer is your standard biopic fair, lavishly shot and full of great performances by Eric Elmosnino as Serge, Lucy Gordon as Jane Birkin and Laetitia Casta as B.B.
Trailer after the break.

Gotham Awards 2009 Winners
30 November 2009 7:35 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Catalina Saavedra in The Maid (top); Stella Schnabel in You Won’t Miss Me (middle); The Hurt Locker by Kathryn Bigelow (bottom) "Kudos to you, great performance," Rosie Perez told Willem Dafoe, after saying that Lars von Trier’s Antichrist, a dark, sex-filled drama in which Dafoe co-stars with Charlotte Gainsbourg, was a "sick-ass movie." That was followed by: "Was that your … Oooohhhh. It was?" And so went the 2009 edition of the Gotham Awards, in which performers cracked jokes that would be unacceptable on network TV. Unfortunately, that didn’t necessarily make the jokes any funnier or the show any better than, say, the Oscars or the Golden Globes, but on the bright side some of the Gotham choices were [...] »

Anne Billson | Why aren't there more roles like Séraphine for British women?
26 November 2009 1:45 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Frenchwomen in films are just like you and me, except they go a bit further in their failure to grasp reality and masochistic self-loathing, says Anne Billson
In Séraphine, Yolande Moreau gives one of those great female performances more often to be found in French films than in British or American ones. This is not an anorexic Barbie doll with a no-nudity clause in her contract, whose facial expressiveness has been Botoxed out of existence. This is the real deal, a stonking, physical tour de force which makes even De Niro or Keitel's greatest hits look mannered and actorly.
Martin Provost's film was inspired by the life of the "primitive modernist" painter Séraphine de Senlis, whose story carries echoes of the Susan Boyle phenomenon, though let us hope Boyle doesn't end up like Séraphine, who from the outset is clearly a few sandwiches short, but ends up misplacing her entire picnic. »

Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender Set For Jane Eyre?
23 November 2009 12:26 PM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Could Alice in Wonderland’s Mia Wasikowska be taking on another literary figure? According to Variety, the Aussie actress is tipped to star alongside Irish actor Michael Fassbender in a new adaptation of Jane Eyre. Charlotte Bronte’s 19th century tale has been remade countless times. So why not one more? Attached to the project is Sin Nombre helmer Cary Fukunga. There hasn’t been a big screen version since the mid 1990s when French minx Charlotte Gainsbourg starred alongside William Hurt. There is always an audience for this kind of material, and reinterpretations are nothing new in filmmaking. What will they be bringing to the table is anybody’s guess.
Michael Fassbender has been building an excellent body of work and was last seen as a British spy in Inglourious Basterds. It would take some serious effort to portray one of literature’s greatest bastards in Mr. Rochester, but »

"I Don't Hate Women": Lars von Trier on Antichrist
23 November 2009 12:03 PM, PST | Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news »
Danish auteur Lars von Trier is used to controversy following his films; some of his critics have even accused him of courting it for sensationalism and reaction. Yet even with a career that contains the likes of The Idiots (rich kids mocking the handicapped), Dancer in the Dark (which drove star Bjork to never act again) and Dogville (leveled with charges of misogyny and anti-Americanism), the director's latest may be his crowning achievement in outrage. When it debuted at Cannes earlier this year, Antichrist -- starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg as a grieving couple who retreat to idyllic woodland »

Burton's Alice Actress Set For Jane Eyre
23 November 2009 10:56 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Mia Wasikowska will swap Tim Burton's fantasy land for the Victorian era for her next movie - she's in negotiations to star in a remake of period drama Jane Eyre.
The acting newcomer, who will soon grace cinema screens as Alice in Burton's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, is in talks to join 300 star Michael Fassbender in a new version of the Charlotte Bronte classic, reports Daily Variety.
The last movie adaptation of Jane Eyre was released in 1996, starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and William Hurt.
The upcoming film will be directed by Cary Fukunaga. »
Fassbender and Wasikowska To Star in Jane Eyre?
20 November 2009 2:11 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Following his success with Sin Nombre Cary Fukunaga is to adapt Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre from a script by Moira Buffini, and today rumours blossomed that soon-to-be Alice In Wonderland MiaWasikowska is in talks to play the eponymous heroine.
Jane Eyre has been adapted many times in recent years with actresses such as Samantha Morton and Charlotte Gainsbourg taking the lead role, now Focus Features and BBC films look to the relative newcomer to play the governess of Thornfield Manor.
Variety also report that my favourite Inglourious Basterd Michael Fassbender is considering the role of Mr Rochester. While literary adaptations, particularly those under the constraints of a feature film’s running time, rely on a tightly constructed abridging of the original work it is the actors breathing new life into well known characters that ensure a success or deliver a failure.
Fassbender showed his quality in Steve McQueen’s »

Gainsbourg enters another messed up relationship in Patrice Chéreau's Persecution (PERSÉCUTION) trailer
19 November 2009 10:23 AM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
It's been a few years since I've seen any of French filmmaker Patrice Chéreau new films though I was quite taken with his early 90’s offering Queen Margot, a film which isn't exactly historically accurate but well worth a look. Chéreau has continued to work but none of his films have caught my attention until now with the trailer for his newest offering, a relationship drama titled Persecution (Persécution).
The film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, who already delivered an excellent performance this year in Lars von Trier's Antichrist (review), as Sonia and Romain Duris as Daniel, a couple sharing a love/hate relationship. When a mysterious man (played by the great Jean-Hugues Anglade) turns up in Daniel's apartment, he assumes it's a one time event organized by Sonia but when Sonia breaks up with him and the mysterious man is still harassing Daniel, a whole new set of questions arise »
Antichrist and Until The Light Takes Us: The Ritz gets unholy for the holidays!
19 November 2009 10:07 AM, PST | OriginalAlamo.com | See recent AlamoDrafthouseCinema news »
Stunning black metal documentary Until The Light Takes Us opens Friday!
Controversial, beautiful mindwrecker Antichrist opens Friday too!
This weekend, The Alamo Ritz will unveil two of the most masterfully made and potentially disturbing films of the decade!
Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist has already cemented a reputation for crowd-pleasing and stomach-turning from One Single Screening at Fantastic Fest ‘09. It is explicit, it is challenging, it is grotesque, it has been called offensive, misogynistic and dangerous…but it has also been called a masterpiece and perhaps the Danish auteur’s finest work.
Charlotte Gainsbourg (who won best Actress for the role at Cannes) and Willem Defoe star as an unnamed couple seeking comfort in their country home after the sudden death of their child. While in their forest retreat, as summed up by the unofficial slogan of Fantastic fest ‘09, “chaos reigns.”
Antichrist tickets are Here!

Exclusive Interview: Chris Alexander talks to Lars Von Trier about Antichrist
12 November 2009 8:33 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
One of my favorite contemporary filmmakers has long been Danish enfant terrible Lars Von Trier. From the wrenching delirium of Breaking The Waves, to the vulgar, experimental excess of The Idiots, to the haunting musical melodrama of Dancer In The Dark to the mad stunt Dogville, there really is no one else alive like Von Trier...and he knows it.
And now he's made a horror film.
Perhaps you've heard of Antichrist, the mind bending, soul wounding art house exploitation masterpiece starring singer turned actress Charlotte Gainsbourg (daughter of Jane Birkin and iconic French pop culture figure Serge Gainsbourg) as a woman driven into sexually charged madness - and beyond - by the accidental death of her toddler son.
Read my review of the film here and check out Fangoria's coverage of the film in the current issue.
Imagine my surprise then, when the opportunity arose for me to interview my living idol, »
