"I think each one of us has in us both some Brufort (Thierry Lavieville and Brandon Lavieville) and some Van Peteghem (see photo above)."
Bruno Dumont's latest, the musical Jeannette, L'Enfance De Jeanne d'Arc, will screen at the Cannes Film Festival where his Li'l Quinquin and Slack Bay (Ma Loute) had their world premieres. In our conversation the director/screenwriter discussed the character of the brother, Paul Claudel (Jean-Luc Vincent) in Camille Claudel 1915, the lens of the grotesque, pushing the grandparents in Li'l Quinquin to go beyond what is expected and how "grace is really within the reach of all of us."

Danièle Delorme and Jean Gabin in 'Deadlier Than the Male.' Danièle Delorme movies (See previous post: “Danièle Delorme: 'Gigi' 1949 Actress Became Rare Woman Director's Muse.”) “Every actor would like to make a movie with Charles Chaplin or René Clair,” Danièle Delorme explains in the filmed interview (ca. 1960) embedded further below, adding that oftentimes it wasn't up to them to decide with whom they would get to work. Yet, although frequently beyond her control, Delorme managed to collaborate with a number of major (mostly French) filmmakers throughout her six-decade movie career. Aside from her Jacqueline Audry films discussed in the previous Danièle Delorme article, below are a few of her most notable efforts – usually playing naive-looking young women of modest means and deceptively inconspicuous sexuality, whose inner character may or may not match their external appearance.

Manoel de Oliveira's film career took off when most filmmakers start winding down. The Portuguese filmmaker, who died this week at 106 — several years after he was widely deemed the world's oldest living director — had only two features to his name when he was 55, but completed nearly 30 by the time he made his Cannes premiere at the age of 102. Read More: R.I.P. Manoel de Oliveira (1908-2015) Despite his late start, however, Oliveira embodied cinematic progress with a breadth that matched his age, acting in silent films in the early thirties and enduring censorship laws that prohibited his filmmaking career from making much progress until the end of Antonio de Oliveira Salazar's dictatorship. In the '70s, Oliveira made a string of well-received adaptations, focusing on the work of several Portuguese authors. His ambition increased during the eighties with a seven-hour adaptation of Paul Claudel's play "The Satin Slipper,...

French director Bruno Dumont's Camille Claudel 1915 (2013), which premièred at last year's Berlin Film Festival, sees Juliette Binoche take the lead as the famous French artist and lover of Auguste Rodin. The main thrust of Dumont's latest sees Camille placed by her brother, the Catholic poet Paul Claudel (Jean-Luc Vincent), in a remote mental institution where she remained for 30 years up until her death. Here, Dumont constructs a stripped-down formal universe that bends not inwards to his tragic heroine, but pushes her outwards towards transcendental hopelessness and an easy acceptance of her desperate situation. Earlier this year we caught up with Dumont to discuss Camille Claudel 1915, his first collaboration with Binoche and the complexities of mental illness.

It’s fair to say that Bruno Dumont has favoured a quite bleak, unforgiving style of cinema – and his latest, Camille Claudel 1915, is certainly no different. The biopic is centred around the life of Camille Claudel, played by Juliette Binoche – a renowned sculpture who, following a break up with artist Auguste Rodin, had a breakdown and found herself confined to a mental institution. In spite of her somewhat speedy recovery, it’s where she spent the following 30 years of her life.
Dumont discusses how the project came into fruition, what it was like to work with real people suffering from mental illness as opposed to actors – and which Hollywood stars he would like to work with in the future.
How long have you been preparing for this movie – when did the idea of making it come to you?

Many are perhaps familiar with Isabelle Adjani’s much hailed Oscar nominated performance as the turn of the century French sculptress Camille Claudel in the 1988 Bruno Nuytten sensation, an artist whose unfortunate demise overshadowed her work. When director Bruno Dumont announced his latest film, Camille Claudel, 1915, (a 2013 Berlin Film Festival entry) which would mark the first time the auteur utilizes a notable actor, here in the form of Juliette Binoche, it marked an intriguing change of pace for a director known for oblique and sometimes distractingly philosophical works where the sacred and profane seethe incongruously until sparks of surprising violence puncture the ambiance.
What’s perhaps more surprising is Dumont’s end result here, an elegiac look at a brief moment in time where Claudel was only two years into a nearly thirty year internment in an insane asylum. Without a doubt, the success lies primarily with a formidable performance from Binoche,...

At Locarno recently, of all places, I sat down with NYC buddy and one of my favorite film people and Us distributor Kino Lorber's head honcho Richard Lorber.
As always he has an amazing lineup. Richard likes art films and intelligent subject matters. He also distributes many documentaries and non English language films. Very good taste I might add.
He bought the controversial Chinese film shown at Cannes this year, A Touch Of Sin.
It begins shockingly as it opens with a punchy bout of bloodshed as three kids brandishing hatchets hold up passing motorcyclist Zhou San (Wang Baoqiang) on a stretch of lonely road. But they are foiled when he calmly pulls out a gun and dispatches them. That drifter, with his taste for firearms and robbery, resurfaces later in one of the film’s four narrative strands.
At Cannes it won Best Screenplay. Kino Lorber will open this in 50 Us cities and in New York at the prestigious IFC Center, in Greenwich Village on 6th Avenue.
Richard will soon open theatrically in 40 cities the amazing documentary The Trials of Muhammad Ali.
The film covers Ali's toughest bout: his battle to overturn a five-year prison sentence for refusing Us military service in Vietnam.
Prior to becoming the most recognizable face on earth, Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali and found himself in the crosshairs of conflicts concerning race, religion, and wartime dissent. 'Trials' zeroes in on the most controversial years of Ali's life, when an emerging sports superhero chooses faith and conscience over fame and fortune.
La Maison de la Radio is a French documentary Richard bought from the company Films de Losange.
The story covers twenty-four hours in the life of Radio France, called the 'BBC of France' and the film goes from one dawn to another.
The film trails along its corridors, inside its recording studios, with its producers, presenters, journalists and various guests.
And outside on a motorbike with a microphone it follows in the wake of the Tour de France or in the company of an adventurous thunderstorm photographer.
It appears this week at the prestigious New York City theater The Film Forum.
Camille Claudel 1915 stars the great Juliette Binoche.
Set in winter, 1915.
The artist is confined by her family to an asylum in the South of France - where she will never sculpt again - the chronicle of Camille Claudel's tragic reclusive life, as she waits for a visit from her brother, Paul Claudel.
In October this film screens at New York's The Film Forum.
Violeta Went to Heaven is just now out on DVD.
It was a New York Times Critic's Pick and in Sundance 2012 it won the World Cinema Dramatic Jury Prize.
A portrait of famed Chilean singer and folklorist Violeta Parra filled with her musical work, her memories, her loves and her hopes. She began as an impoverished child and went on to become Chile's national heroine.

Camille Claudel 1915
Written and directed by Bruno Dumont
France, 2013
Camille Claudel 1915 is a 3-day portrait of great sculptress Camille Claudel and her life in an institution. A rarity in art history, Claudel found success during her lifetime and was often exhibited alongside male contemporaries. Emblematic of larger issues plaguing art history and criticism, academically, she is most often referred to in relation to sculptor Auguste Rodin, rather than on the merits of her own work. His lover, muse, and student for over a decade, her relationship with him was a source of great inspiration and turmoil over the course of her life. An incredibly emotive and imaginative artist and sculptor, she was heralded by famous art critic Octave Mirbeau, Claude Debussy was passionate about her work, and Henrik Ibsen apparently based one of his plays on her tumultuous relationship with Rodin.
Standing the test of time, her art remains powerful and raw.

The libretto for Honeggers Jeanne au Bcher is a highly original creation by French poet and playwright Paul Claudel, who dramatized the last moments of the martyrs life. Featuring speaking and singing roles, Joan of Arc at the Stake has, since its Basel premiere in 1938, established itself as one of the most stunning dramatic oratorios in the history of music.

The President
by Ferenc Molnár (Adapted by Morwyn Brebner) Storm Theatre Company
When was the last time you attended a stage play, of any variety, that fully utilized 23 spirited professional actors? Storm Theater Company gives us the opportunity to see this in an excellent production of The President, a madcap farce resurrected intact from olden days when large and varied casts were customary. As then, The President gives each supporting actor a moment of undivided focus, in concert with great comic performances by the principals.
The President is a highly fast-paced and hilarious farce. Its 75 minutes fly by lickety-split as it tells the story of an officious and manipulative big bank president, Norrison (Joe Danbusky), as he is driven by self-interest to accomplish the (almost) impossible. In a scant one hour, he must transform the drab, dull-witted, communist, yet handsome husband of his ward Lydia (Becca Pesce) into a "captain...

Noon Divide (Partage de Midi) by Paul Claudel
Storm Theater and Blackfriars Repertory Theatre
Noon Divide, an intense morality/passion play by French poet, dramatist, and diplomat Paul Claudel (1868-1955), is excellent serious theater. Like ancient Greek drama, it deals with what makes people tick, what drives them on, and what propels them to undo themselves. And also, like Greek drama, a great deal of the action that motivates the characters is offstage, and the audience observes how they live with (and adapt to) the actions that occur prior to the play’s start and between the acts.

There will probably never be a perfect Joan of Arc on the stage. Each generation watches its performance from a different moment in time; every dramatist brings to her life his own special vision; and the actresses who portray her add yet another layer by their interpretation of Joan's character.
Miss Ingrid Bergman, who is now in London to play Joan in Roberto Rossellini's production of Honegger's opera, "Joan of Arc at the Stake," is an actress who has her own very determined ideas on Joan. Sitting in her suite at the Savoy yesterday, she recalled Maxwell Anderson's play, "Joan of Lorraine," in which she played the part of an actress who kept interrupting the play's rehearsals because of her inability to see Joan's character from the point of view of both the director and the playwright.

You'd think that there was nothing "nice" about criminals. They are people who should be reviled, particularly for crimes of murder and rape. Yet in a New York Times review that cites Norman Mailer's relationship with Utah killer Gary Gilmore, Michiko Kakutani states: "The 'ordinary' criminal who espouses a radical mode of thought, after all, has long exerted a certain hold on the literary imagination. Jean Genet, for instance, who was jailed for theft and male prostitution, was granted a presidential pardon thanks to pleas from Andre Gide, Jean Cocteau, Paul Claudel and Jean-Paul Sartre, and he was later canonized by Sartre in 'Saint Genet.' Eldridge Cleaver, who wrote .Soul on Ice' while serving time for rape, was praised by Maxwell Geismar for eloquently illuminating the 'black soul which had been colonized' by an oppressive white society.'' For a time Jacques Mesrine, who once held the title...
