The French director on making the closest thing to an autobiography, stripping Léa Seydoux of her glamour and dating fellow film-makers
French screenwriter and director Mia Hansen-Løve, 42, was born in Paris to parents who were both philosophy professors. She studied German at university, then had stints as an actor and film critic before making her directorial debut in 2007 with All Is Forgiven. Her subsequent films include Father of My Children, Goodbye First Love, Eden and Bergman Island. Her new film, One Fine Morning, is about a single mother caring for her ailing father while embarking upon a new romance. She lives near Paris with her partner, film-maker Laurent Perreau, and their children.
How closely was your new film, One Fine Morning, inspired by your own late father’s illness?

In the role of a lifetime, Léa Seydoux plays a widowed single mum caught between new romance and the failing mind of her father in the French director’s deeply personal Cannes prize winner
The French writer-director Mia Hansen-Løve became a festival fixture with films such as All Is Forgiven (2007), Father of My Children (2009) and more recently the Palme d’Or nominated Bergman Island (2021). My own favourite Hansen-Løve films include the pulsing Eden (2014) and the ruminative Things to Come (2016), the latter of which contains one of Isabelle Huppert’s finest screen performances. But in this, her latest Cannes prize winner, Hansen-Løve hits a career high note, delivering a quietly thoughtful and ultimately life-affirming portrait of the strange interaction between loss and rebirth. It’s a miraculous balancing act that pretty much took my breath away.

"Why didn't he try to find me?" Metrograph has unveiled an official US trailer for the release of acclaimed French filmmaker Mia Hansen-Løve's first feature film titled All Is Forgiven, which originally premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007. It was never released in the US and after all these years, along with six other excellent films, her debut feature is finally getting a chance to shine on the big screen. All is Forgiven will open in theaters and on digital at Metrograph starting November 5th. They've also put together a virtual program of films she selected offering "insight into the cinematic inspirations that have informed her deeply humane body of work." Her newest film, Bergman Island, is also already playing in theaters. All Is Forgiven is about a father and daughter reunited some 11 years after his drug addiction tore the family apart.

It’s a strangely topsy-turvy experience, to come to a director’s first film 14 years, six further features, an Un Certain Regard Special Jury Prize (“Father of my Children“), and a Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director (“Things To Come“) after she made it. And perhaps it’s an inevitably compromised – or at least altered – experience too: “All is Forgiven” can’t help but be viewed now through the prism of Mia Hansen-Løve‘s subsequent career, a retrospective perspective made even more unavoidable by the retrospection of her most recent feature “Bergman Island,” which is playing in theaters at the same time that Metrograph is giving her debut a long-overdue US release.

After nearly fifteen years, Mia Hansen-Løve’s feature debut All is Forgiven finally has its theatrical release in the U.S. A tender yet heart-wrenching drama about the reconciliation between an estranged father and his daughter, it’s evidence Hansen-Løve has always been a mature filmmaker. The story, as in her other films, concerns the passage of time, and particularly here it invites us to ponder if forgiveness can be achieved as time passes.
Opening in Vienna circa 1995, All is Forgiven centers on struggling writer Victor (Paul Blain) and his French-Austrian family—partner Annette (Marie-Christine Friedrich) and 6-year-old daughter Pamela (Victoire Rousseau). Victor initially seems a normal, caring father and husband whose love for both Annette and Pamela rings sincere. Yet it doesn’t take long until we see that there’s another side of Victor: he’s a drug user who gets abusive towards his wife anytime she calls him out.

A Cop Movie (Alonso Ruizpalacios)
There has never been a less auspicious time to make a “cop movie.” As scrutiny abounds from both within (content warnings on streaming services) and externally (social media) towards the past output of media producers, also suspect are the bevy of films and series that glamorize law enforcement, or see the police as uncomplicated arbiters of justice. Of course, last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests initiated all kinds of brave new thinking about a potential world devoid of cops. Like the Western genre, perhaps all police thrillers in future will be revisionist ones. Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios’ new Netflix-produced quasi-documentary, A Cop Movie, has thus arrived right on cue. – David K. (full review)

Little surprise that one of this century’s great debuts came from Mia Hansen-Løve; stranger that fifteen-or-so years and an exceptional oeuvre would transpire before U.S. audiences could (legally) see it themselves. But Metrograph Pictures are picking up the mantle in a major way, giving 2007’s All is Forgiven a theatrical and digital release that starts this Friday.
Now we have a trailer—one that looks a hell of a lot finer than the file that’s been sitting on my hard drive since 2014, moreover one that instantly reminds me why I’ve held All is Forgiven in such esteem for so long. A good moment to note that, in our recent interview, Hansen-Løve promised her next feature “is like going back to” this new classic. We’re just glad it’s ready for discovery on its own terms.

Parenthood, relationships, and the creative process: three key elements of the cinema of Mia Hansen-Løve casually combine in Bergman Island, a playfully self-aware meta-portrait of the filmmaker and, indeed, of filmmaking itself. Introspective, inventive, and effortlessly calm; it follows a couple, both screenwriters, on an idyllic work retreat to Fårö, an island in the Baltic Sea (population: 498) just off the South East of Sweden. It’s the place Ingmar Bergman called home for the majority of his life, where he made many films and eventually died.
A story of prickly truths but no shortage of levity, it is a clear passion project for Hansen-Løve, a director whose work has always leaned as much toward the biographical as the cinephilic. Vicky Krieps stars as Chris, a filmmaker with a case of writer’s block, and Tim Roth is Tony, her older, more famous boyfriend. Hansen-Løve opens on their ferry ride to Fårö,...

Mia Hansen-Løve’s “Bergman Island” has been percolating for several years now, which is why many cinephiles were thrilled to hear the drama will have its world premiere at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. “Bergman Island” will compete for the Palme d’Or, making Hansen-Løve one of only four women in competition at Cannes 2021. An international trailer for the film has been released, debuting the first footage of cast members Tim Roth, Vicky Krieps, Mia Wasikowska, and Anders Danielsen Lie.
“Bergman Island” centers around a filmmaking couple (Roth and “Phantom Thread” breakout Krieps) who travel to the island of Fårö, which is where Ingmar Bergman lived and died and shot scenes for iconic films such as “Through a Glass Darkly” (1961), “Persona” (1966), “The Passion of Anna” (1969), and “Scenes from a Marriage” (1972). It’s here where the couple’s relationship is tested as the line between reality and fiction starts to blur.

If we were to create a list of the most exciting up-and-coming directors working today, Mia Hansen-Løve would be at the top. From All is Forgiven to last year’s Things to Come, all of her five features thus far have been stellar and now she’s prepping her next two.
This summer she’ll shoot hostage drama Maya and now the cast has been revealed for her following film, Bergman Island, set to begin production next summer. Greta Gerwig, Mia Wasikowska, and John Turturro have joined the cast, Screen Daily reports.
Check out the synopsis below:
The picture revolves around an American filmmaking couple who retreat to the island for the summer to each write screenplays for their upcoming films in an act of pilgrimage to the place that inspired Bergman.

Isabelle Huppert is stirring Oscar talk (and she damn well should) for the potent provocation of her acting in Elle, directed by Dutch wildman Paul Verhoeven. But to see her in Things to Come, as a character who is the polar opposite of the powerhouse she plays in that story of rape and revenge, is to cement Huppert's reputation as one of the best actresses on the planet. Written and directed by Mia Hansen-Love (Eden), the film gives the legendary French star the role of Nathalie, a Paris philosophy professor whose academic husband,...

It could be said that an introduction to Mia Hansen-Løve is entirely beside the point, given the extent to which her films concern herself and loved ones. Following the portrait of her brother, Eden, she’s centered her fifth feature on her mother. The film is Things to Come, and the woman at its front is Isabelle Huppert — in one of her best performances, which I discussed with the actress here.
I had the good fortune to sit down with Hansen-Løve at this year’s New York Film Festival. The discussion we had two years prior remains one of my favorites, and the consistent ebb and flow between features means this was, in certain ways, a picking-up of where we left off in the fall of 2014. But you don’t have to know her work to find this an engaging read on the nature of art-as-introspection.

Having broken onto the scene as a young actress in the films of Olivier Assayas, Paris-born filmmaker Mia Hansen-Løve moved into directing with All is Forgiven in 2007. Her star grew with the release of her fourth feature, Eden in 2014, a film based on her brother’s experiences in France’s electronic-music scene in the ‘90s. Her latest work, Things to Come — the story of a Parisian philosophy teacher, Nathalie (Isabelle Huppert), whose life begins to unravel — opened to glowing reviews at Berlinale last week, not least our own. We got the chance to speak with the director during a roundtable at the festival and one can read the conversation below.

Sean Connery's last appearance as James Bond, and the last 'unofficial' 007 movie. We revisit Never Say Never Again...
So does this count? Never Say Never Again stirs many arguments by shaking up the official order, splitting fans on the issue of its legitimacy. Ruins pub quiz questions such as ‘How many actors have played M?’ due to the inevitable argument whether Edward Fox should be numbered. Put such issues aside and enjoy what remains: a sly, witty semi-pastiche that doesn’t attempt to recapture past glories but can easily hold its own alongside Diamonds Are Forever and Octopussy. And with much less swimming than Thunderball.
The Villain: Ignore Emilo: Maximillian Largo is his own maniac. Short, tubby, lanky blond hair receding, Largo is Draco Malfoy gone to seed. Easily visualised shuffling around Comic Con, accompanied by Mr Kidd and the reformed Jaws. Yet Largo is one of the film’s strengths.

In contrast to film, television and its episodic delivery system enables a long-term style of storytelling to present over the course of several months. Plots unravel. Characters subtly shift. Themes emerge. Designing a season’s worth of material around those assumptions allows creators the chance to build a fully-realized world with fleshed-out inhabitants whose journeys are depicted in a way that approaches a ‘real-time’ perspective. This mode has been a rigid framework for HBO’s Looking, which thus far in its sophomore season has dedicated most of its weekly 30-minute chunks to the relationship struggles of its leading man Patrick. The cute video game designer’s romantic dilemmas have surpassed the experiences of his two co-stars, driving the show’s second season all the way to its conclusion.
To call “Looking For Home” an aggressive finish would be the wrong type of descriptor for a show that’s anything but.

Salman Rushdie spoke out about the Charlie Hebdo attack Wednesday night, defending the satirical magazine’s journalists right to freedom of speech.
“The French satirical tradition has always been very pointed and very harsh, and still is, you know,” Rushdie said during a speech at the University of Vermont. “The thing that I really resent is the way in which these, our dead comrades … who died using the same implement that I use — which is a pen or pencil — have been almost immediately vilified and called racists and I don’t know what else.”

Calling sales of Charlie Hebdo's first edition since the terror attack that killed 12 of its own a rousing success would easily be the understatement of the new year. Sky News reports lines to buy the magazine--which defiantly features a weeping Prophet Muhammad and holding a "Je Suis Charlie" sign and a caption stating, "All is Forgiven" began forming at 6:00 Am local time and many newsstands had sold out shortly thereafter; AP reports that one newsstand in Paris' Champs Elysee sold out just five minutes after opening. In all, Charlie Hebdo printed a total of three million copies of what is being dubbed its, "Survivor's Edition." And guess what? They're going to need at least another three million to satisfy the masses just today alone. All proceeds, by the way, will go to the victims' families.

The terrorist group al-Qaida in Yemen has claimed responsibility for last week's attack on the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo in a video released on YouTube Wednesday.

"That's the insanity of the world, isn't it?" Rosamund Pike told Et. "The extremities of life -- it all hurdles at us. That's why we feel privileged and we have to enjoy every moment of it."

Jeannette Bougrab, wife of late Charlie Hebdo editor Stephane Charbonnier, has spoken out in an emotional new interview with MSNBC’s Ronan Farrow.
“I don’t sleep. I dont eat. I just drink some water. I try… I would like to die sometime,” Bougrab said as she opened up about her husband’s violent death at the hands of terrorists. “When I heard some news, I tried calling him but it didn’t understand [sic] — he didn’t answer me and he answers immediately when I call him usually and I don’t understand,” she said.

Less than a week after terrorists attacked French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo’s offices killing 12 people, the surviving staffers have released the cover of the next issue. And it will likely anger terrorist organizations, which have praised the attack on the paper for publishing images mocking the Prophet Muhammad.
The newly released cover features a cartoon of Muhammad shedding a tear and holding a sign saying “Je Suis Charlie” or “I am Charlie” — the global rallying cry that followed the attack. Above his head it says “Tout Est Pardonné” or “all is forgiven.”

One Direction's new music video "Steal My Girl" is basically a bizarre, colorful party with Danny DeVito playing a cuckoo director/ringmaster. It's a romp! Let's join the festivities and count up our ten observations about the goings-on. 1. Harry Styles is evolving into Val from Team X-Blades in "Brink," and I'm not sure I'm ready for that. 2. God bless Louis Tomlinson, but he reminds me the least of "Danger," Danny DeVito. 3. I've long held the belief that the two cutest members of One Direction are Liam and Zayn, but we have to agree that Niall is way in the lead now. Cutest outfit and dance moves, I'd say. 4. But Zayn is dressed a little bit like a hipster version of Doug Funnie's sister Judy, and that makes me even more attracted to him. 5. The rhythmic gymnasts are cool? Rhythmic gymnastics looks like air traffic control for unicorns. 6. The "Na,...

Above: there is no news this week more monumental than that of the return of Twin Peaks. In 2016, we'll have nine new episodes, all directed by David Lynch. The 72nd issue of Senses of Cinema is now online, and amidst a plethora of content, features an amazing dossier on "one of the true legends of Australian screen culture," John Flaus. Also included is a piece by Tony McKibbin on a new Alain Robbe-Grillet box set—and in Mubi Us, we're currently hosting a retrospective on the Robbe-Grillet featuring Trans-Europ-Express, L'immortelle, Eden and After, and Successive Slidings of Pleasure. Writing for Reverse Shot, Adam Nayman offers his two cents on Mia Hansen-Love's Eden:

Paging Ellen and Portia. Please come to the Ocean Park Hospital children’s unit — Stat. Red Band Society, Fox’s delightful (but somewhat ratings-challenged) freshman drama needs you.
Ok, Ok, maybe Red Band Society doesn’t truly require America’s most famous lesbian couple playing heightened versions of themselves — not quite yet, anyway — but I sure hope we’ll be seeing more of Sara (Andrea Parker) and Daniella (Tricia O’Kelley), the power couple responsible for raising delectably bitchy cheerleader Kara (while also sharing a personal trainer with the aforementioned daytime talk-show host and her Arrested Development-starring wife).

ABC's "Bachelor" star Juan Pablo Galavis made headlines Saturday (Jan. 18) after his comments when asked about the possibility of a gay bachelor on the popular reality dating show.
In addition to saying that he doesn't think a gay "Bachelor" star would be appropriate for children, Galavis also says that gay people are more perverse than straight people.
Now he has taken to Facebook to apologize for his remarks, saying the comments were taken out of context and that it was the language barrier from English not being his first language that caused him to use the word "pervert."
Galavis writes:
I want to apologize to all the people I may have offended because of my comments on having a Gay or Bisexual Bachelor. The comment was taken out of context. If you listen to the entire interview, there's nothing but respect for Gay people and their families. I have many...

“Tracking Shot” is a monthly featurette here on Ioncinema.com that looks at a dozen or so projects that are moments away from lensing and with September being a major production month for the fall, most projects listed here are thinking of film festival submissions between Cannes and fall fests for 2014.

Fans of the Caped Crusader spent their Friday lashing out at the choice of Ben Affleck as Batman in the Man of Steel sequel. The Oscar winning actor has a 71% disapproval rating on Twitter.
There’s an old saying that there’s no such thing as bad Press. Let’s hope that DC Entertainment and Warner Brothers feel that way, because the press they are getting for the casting of Ben Affleck in Man of Steel 2 is not exactly encouraging.
It’s no big surprise that there was a lot of immediate online chatter after Ben Affleck was officially cast as the latest big screen Batman. Within the first hour of the announcement, 96,088 tweets were sent out about Affleck as the new Dark Knight. The casting issue has been averaging 39,225 tweets per hour, for a total of 509,922 tweets over a 12 hour period. However, the buzz being generated may not...

Cry Danger
Written by William Bowers
Directed by Robert Parish
USA, 1951
The road that ultimately leads creative people in the filmmaking business to the highly coveted director’s chair is rarely the same from one candidate to the next. Some are fortunate enough to direct a feature from the get-go. The number of directorial debuts from stunningly young men and women premiering at festivals is a testament to that journey. Others take the long road, filling in a great many roles on movie sets, learning the ropes of many trades before they finally helm a project. Robert Parish’s journey began at age 11, when he appeared in the 1927 short Olympic Games. After years of acting and editing, his directorial debut finally came in 1951 with the mobster film Cry Danger.

Sami and Adrienne tiptoe over to look at the baby, but it’s gone. Don’t worry Gabi, there’s a basket of delicious gourmet blueberry muffins in its place. That’s just as good.
Will regains consciousness and sees a hazy vision. Ah! It’s the Angel of Death, and it’s carrying a baked ham!! Oh wait … it’s Nick, who’s holding the baby.

I haven't given much thought to Aaron Carter in years, even when he tweets pictures of his enviable abs. But recently, his fans picked up on the fact that he's a horny young man, and made #AaronCarterHornyLevel a trending topic. Buzzfeed sat down with Aaron to discuss just how horny he was (varies between a 7 and 20 on a scale of 1-10), and what makes him horny. Big boobs and Demi Lovato seem to figure prominently. "So I don't know, I do love to get nasty at night."
Romania's International Women's Day honors women and their contribution to society, much like Mother's Day in the United States. Except they celebrate it with lap dances from male strippers. Beats the boring dinners we did when I was a kid.

Ratings (out of five): ***
What's in a name -- or more to the point, in a title? The original French title of Mia Hansen-Løve's third feature (after the Ok All Is Forgiven and the much better Father of My Children), Goodbye First Love, is the much simpler Un amour de jeunesse, which translates to "Young Love," or maybe "A Love in Youth." The point of this talented writer/filmmaker's latest movie -- if I am anywhere close to understanding it -- concerns how difficult it is for her heroine, Camille, to actually bid good-bye to this first love. Instead she allows herself to become utterly obsessed with it and its vessel, the hunky young man named Sullivan (Sebastian Urzendowsky), who keeps telling her, by word and deed, to cool it. ...

Tout est pardonné (eng: All is Forgiven)
Directed by Mia Hansen-Løve
Written by Mia Hansen-Løve
France, 2007
Watching with a critical eye, one will find Mia Hansen-Løve’s debut feature, Tout est pardonné, curiously out of focus; as in, it strongly lacks any. Although well-meaning and decorous, Tout est pardonné has too many points of interest that dull the overall impact of the film, making it less affecting than it should’ve been.
The story opens up in Vienna where Victor (Paul Blain), a shiftless French writer, is married to Annette (Marie-Christine Friedrich), his Austrian wife. Together, they have a six-year-old daughter named Pamela (Victoire Rousseau).
Unable to really communicate with either of them, especially Annette, Victor turns to drugs and is slowly consumed with an addiction, and at first, this seems to be the film’s raison d’être. We’re supposed to witness the spiraling effects of his drug...

To have one giant money-losing tentpole is unfortunate. To have two starts to look careless, and that's what's happened to Taylor Kitsch. The actor, who broke out on TV's "Friday Night Lights," was seen as Hollywood's next great hope, picked out to star in two great big blockbusters with a combined cost of half-a-billion dollars. But when "John Carter" arrived in March, the film wildly underperformed, with Disney taking a hit of at least $100 million on the project. And after this weekend, it looks that his other film, "Battleship," is going to lose similar amounts.
The film, Universal & Hasbro's adaptation of the board game, directed by "Hancock" helmer Peter Berg, had taken the unusual step of opening everywhere else in the world six weeks ahead of the U.S, in the hope of bagging lucrative foreign coin and building buzz for the U.S. release.

Mia Hansen-Løve proves that less is more in a beautifully observed tale of a student's romantic entanglements
The critic and columnist Alan Brien once told me about a friend consulting him about an autobiography he'd been asked to write. It was the mid-1950s when angry young men were all the rage, the friend was about 30 and clearly the publishers expected him to deliver something socially significant. "In 1939," he asked, referring to his sixth-form days, "whom should I have been reading and what should I have been thinking?" Somewhat mischievously Brien suggested he should have discovered Orwell, become disillusioned with Auden and Isherwood, had a sceptical approach to the Popular Front but a high regard for John Strachey, and so on. When I checked out the eventual book these were precisely the attitudes expressed, though whether these aspects of the author's intellectual development all came from Brien's tuition I can't be sure.

It was the mid-1950s when angry young men were all the rage, the friend was about 30 and clearly the publishers expected him to deliver something socially significant. "In 1939," he asked, referring to his sixth-form days, "whom should I have been reading and what should I have been thinking?" Somewhat mischievously Brien suggested he should have discovered Orwell, become disillusioned with Auden and Isherwood, had a sceptical approach to the Popular Front but a high regard for John Strachey, and so on. When I checked out the eventual book these were precisely the attitudes expressed, though whether these aspects of the author's intellectual development all came from Brien's tuition I can't be sure.

Only three films into her career, Mia Hansen-Løve has established herself as one of the more exciting names in world cinema. Her debut, "Tout est pardonné," was named the Best First Film at the César awards when she was only 27, and her next, the excellent "The Father Of My Children," put her on the world stage, something firmed up by her most recent picture, the touching, beautiful "Goodbye, First Love." And with husband Olivier Assayas, she makes up one half of a helluva talented filmmaker marriage.
With "Goodbye, First Love" now rollling out around the world, the director's starting to reveal what her next project might be, and it sounds pretty exciting. In an interview with The Observer, Hansen-Løve tells Jason Solomons that her next film will be an epic romance set against the backdrop of the French music scene of the 1990s, which spawned artists like Daft Punk and Mr. Oizo.
