Jane Campion and 'Bright Star' -- Lost in the Shuffle?
21 December 2009 4:15 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Jane Campion, who's wowed film fans and critics for years with movies like Sweetie, The Piano, and The Portrait of a Lady, came back with a fierceness at this year's Cannes with Bright Star, an elegant retelling of the love affair between John Keats (Ben Whishaw) and Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish). The film shows the doomed relationship from Brawne's point of view; an outspoken and creative young woman with a flair for fashion and not much of a passion for Romantic poetry, Brawne becomes enamored of her neighbor much to the disapproval of her mother and his churlish friend, fellow writer Charles Brown (Paul Schneider). Unfortunately, their love remains rather celibate, relegated to holding hands and writing letters. Keats died at 25, unsuccessful and poor, from tuberculosis.
Overall the consensus from Cannes was that Jane Campion's first full-length movie since 2003's In the Cut was a strong contender in a number of Oscar categories, »

The first set photos of Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassel in “Black Swan” have come online.
The supernatural thriller, which is currently filming in New York City (the scene pictured took place in Lincoln Center), set in the world of New York City ballet, centers on a veteran ballerina (Portman) who finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance…
“Black Swan,” directed by Darren Aronofsky (Wrestler), co-stars Winona Ryder (The Age of Innocence, Autumn in New York), Mila Kunis (Max Payne, Extract) and Barbara Hershey (The Portrait Of A Lady) and is set to come out sometime in 2010.

The Naughts: The Actress of the '00s
4 December 2009 10:17 AM, PST | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
If time is an avenger, then the Naughts have had it both ways with Nicole Kidman. In the span of a decade, Kidman was transformed from arm candy into an artist -- the rare movie star who made genuinely interesting choices -- eclipsing her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, who filed for divorce in 2000, with an Oscar win and the embrace, finally, of her peers on her own terms.
However, as the '00s limp to a close, Kidman seems to be succumbing to a personal vendetta against time: by manipulating her face into a mask -- a waxworks ideal of "Nicole Kidman" -- rather than continuing to deploy it as a functional instrument, an artist's tool, Kidman is taking perhaps the most surprising risk of her career: she has chosen to age into glacial iconicity. In this, she exemplifies a decade that treated actresses with ambivalence, waving all the flags of »

10 closest Oscar races in the past 20 years
23 November 2009 1:12 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
One of the shrewdest Oscarologists on the planet is Tariq Khan of Fox News, who often generously shares his views of current and past derbies with Gold Derby readers. Here he takes a nostalgic look at the past two decades, offering his take on the most competitive derbies. Words below are Tariq's. Thanks, m'friend!
We’ve often discussed those Oscar races that seem just too close to call . . . where it’s clear (or at least seems clear) that the eventual winner will nab the Oscar with only a few more votes than his or her nearest competitor. While we can never really know for sure (unless we get one of those top jobs at the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers,) we do have some idea of what may have been the closest races in Oscar history. Allow me to present what I believe were the 10 closest acting races over the course of the past 20 years. »

Character, says Heraclitus, is fate. In the case of English poet John Keats, character might also be manifested in the physical.

tMF Talkback: Jane Campion's Bright Star 'not so stellar' says IndieWire - a fair analysis?
20 September 2009 2:02 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
I rely heavily on INDIEWire when it comes to indie news for obvious reasons. Their Box Office reports are always insightful, up-to-date and worth a fair amount of time to look over and analyze. However, their latest report which focused on Jane Campion's latest movie - Bright Star - appeared to be unfair in their analysis of its Box office performance, say people related to the movie, in particular Bob Berney (who together with Bill Pohlad has bought Us rights to Jane Campion's Bright Star.)
- - -
- - - One portion of the article which is considered the point of contention reads:
"Star"‘s opening does not fare well against Campion's other films. On 7, 2 and 6 screens respectively, "The Portrait of a Lady," "Holy Smoke" and "In The Cut" each averaged between $15,000 and $17,000, while "The Piano" debut to a whopping $37,854 per its four theaters back in November »

Jane Campion Grilled on 'Bright Star'
19 September 2009 8:59 AM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
By Iain Blair
New Zealand writer-director Jane Campion, whose few but impressive credits include “The Piano,” which won three Oscars including Best Screenplay for Campion, “The Portrait of a Lady” and “An Angel at my Table,” has always marched to the beat of her own drummer, and always liked a challenge. She certainly found one with her latest film, “Bright Star,” the story of the passionate affair between an unknown 23-year-old English poet, John Keats (Ben Whishaw) and the young, flirty fashionista next door, Fanny Brawne (Abbi »

Tiff 2009 Two Days In: What’s Good & Bad So Far
12 September 2009 1:19 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Coming up to the third day of the film festival and thus far I have seen The Informant!, which I liked very much despite some problems with decision making by the director, Broken Embraces, which features just a stunning performance from the astonishing Penelope Cruz, Antichrist, a repellant yet unforgettable film, Hugh Hefner, a superb documentary that should earn an Oscar nomination, Bright Star, a disappointing film from Jane Campion, Jennifer’s Body, a rather average horror film from the pen of Juno (2007) writer Diablo Cody and the superb Up in the Air, from the great Jason Reitman.
Matt Damon and George Clooney are both so good, so strong in their respective films that choosing one over the other for the Oscar seems impossible, but if I had a vote it would go to Clooney for his stunning work as a man who thinks he is living a life he loves, »
