the ula field is located in the southern part of the north sea , and consists of three platforms . the field center serves as an area hub for the satellite field tambar , and as a third - party host for the oselvar and blane fields .
says prasanna : “the film , directed by shahid , is tentatively titled chennaiyil oru naal and i play a doctor who dotes on his wife . traffic has won awards as well as critical acclaim . steering clear of onscreen clichés such as the lead pair running around trees , the film is centred on a heart transplant . ”
the ula hub consists of three conventional steel facilities for production , drilling and accommodation , and is connected by bridges . the gas capacity at the field was updated in 2008 with a new gas processing and injection module . the water depth in the area is about 70 metres .
miranda de pencier is the writer and director of throat song —her directorial debut . throat song premiered at the toronto international film festival and garnered awards at festivals around the globe , including the prestigious best live action short award at the 2013 canadian screen awards . throat song was recently shortlisted for the 2014 academy award for best live action short film .
an applicant should demonstrate a strong liberal arts and humanistic education , exceptional literacy , outstanding communication skills , and unique creative ability . prior experience in film and television is not required .
– production design is what creates a film’s own individual settings , placing it within its specific historical and social context and generating its unique atmosphere . maximilian lange still has fond memories of the production
the shooting was started in march 2013 . along with prasanna , narain was supposed to play the lead roles , but they both were replaced with ajmal ameer and ashok , while gayathrie was reported to play the female lead . ajmal ameer stated that he played a rockstar in the film and that he was paired with mumbai - based priya banerjee . in august 2013 , a song , penned by madhan karky , was to be shot . vidharth said that he played the role of a rowdy gang leader . gayathrie in october 2013 stated that every character in the film comes in shades of grey and that seventy per cent of the film had been completed . west indies cricketer dwayne bravo had agreed to dance for a song in the film , which was shot in october 2013 .
talking about how he landed it , prasanna says , “i had watched the film even before this role came to me . i was mulling over the offer as i was looking for a script that would allow me to play the lead . that’s when listin stephan , producer of the malayalam film , met me and explained why he wanted me to essay this role . and i agreed . ”
. the german association of production and costume designers ( vsk ) , of which lange is also a member , defines the profession as follows : “a production designer works creatively on and is responsible for a film’s design by creating the setting for the actors and for the movement of the camera . ” lange himself describes his work by saying : “i try to create a coherent overall look for a film” .
after biryani , prasanna is to work with rajan madhav , who directed him in muran . “both rajan and i have enormous trust in each other . a good director is one who can spot an artiste’s strengths and exploit them . rajan knows my strengths . we have titled the film ula . i have only heard the storyline . i am sure he will come up with an impressive script . he has been working on it for the last eight months now . we intend to start work on the multi - starrer in december . ”
in 2012 , riel produced two feature length films for olympus : bottled up written and directed by new york filmmaker enid zentelis , starring oscar winning actress melissa leo , marin ireland , and josh hamilton which premiered at the 2103 tribeca film festival , and the wait written and directed by new york filmmaker m blash , starring jena malone and chloe sevigny , which had its world premiere at the 2103 sxsw film festival .
which was largely set in a courtroom . because we were unable to find a genuine courtroom in which we were allowed to film , we decided to build one ourselves in a former bank building” , remembers lange .
prasanna shares a great rapport with actor - director cheran ( remember muran ? ) cheran not only acted in the film but also produced it . now , the friends are coming together once again for chennaiyil oru naal .
shooting of chennaiyil… is almost over . “just a song sequence remains to be canned . the makers are planning to release the film in december , ” informs prasanna , who will next be working on venkat prabhu’s biriyani .
after the credits finish , cast members from the film ( including a cameo by mel brooks ) sing the number
goodbye !
, which is sung in the stage version at the conclusion of the curtain call .
known for his impromptu dance moves on the cricket field , west indies cricketer dwayne bravo is all set to groove to a song in upcoming tamil drama
ula
. the yet - to - be composed song will be used for promotional purposes for the film .
we are planning to shoot the promotional song with dwayne in a couple of weeks . it ' s a very special song and i ' m sure the audiences are going to love it . he was very generous to say ' yes ' to the song instantaneously ,
the film ' s director rajan madhav told ians . bravo is very popular in chennai as he ' s a key player of the chennai super kings team .
our producer approached him through a common friend . he is known for his freestyle dancing and we want to capitalize on it . show him the way the audiences would love to see him on screen ,
madhav added . the film has music by rajan ' s brother sajan madhav . it also features vidharth , ajmal amir , radhika apte and gayathrie in lead roles .
produced with the assistance of the government of nunavut and the nunavut film development corporation and kitikmeot economic development commission & the human resources and skills development canada and the government of nunavut & the department of culture , language , elders & youth .
when i attended one of these evenings it became instantly clear to me that i had to make a connection between ilse in my film
the old song
and grischa huber ' s evening . the actress had already agreed to sing ilse ' s song in the film , reinterpret the song of germany and play the beautiful and mysterious woman , which ilse appears to be . grischa huber and i agreed on the impossibility of simply putting parts of the evening into the film . we decided to do a prologue . i selected nine excerpts from the work , which grischa huber had chosen . we dramatized these excerpts in the landscape of no - mans - land , the area in which the torn - down wall was being turned to rubble .
what a fantastic surprise . i ' ve seen luke - warm reviews about this film , largely saying that the theatrical basis ( the broadway show ) is oh - so - evident . well , in my opinion , this is one of the film ' s strengths . it ' s a well - intentioned performance and is close enough to the original producers , and so unlike it , that the musical remake is justified . i love musicals , especially musical comedy . this film is a sop to the musical comedy , with good performances from the leads , and uma thurman and will ferrell , who all appear to be enjoying themselves . the central ( staged ) number
springtime for hitler
is brilliantly choreographed , with suitably outrageous costumes . gary beach as a brilliantly camp hitler completes this excellent scene . and the bratwurst ! ! the editing in this sequence - camera panning to the gob - smacked audience is brilliant . this is a film that salutes and spoofs musicals . it ' s an absolute delight
originally from kugluktuk , nunavut , stacey now currently resides in the capitol of nunavut , iqaluit , with her five - year - old daughter . stacey owns and manages puhitaq , a 100 % inuit - owned company which specializes in film and cultural arts .
moving from the tight confines of the family home to more expansive verdant exteriors , cinematographer ula pontikos keeps her focus tight , lending a dreamy expressionist edge to the interior lives of these complex characters . composer luke sutherland provides psychodramatic ambient scene - setting , while sharp music and sound edits highlight the isolated experiences of family members , reminding us that multiple realities coexist in even the most everyday circumstances . yet at the core of all this strange magic is a trio of utterly believable performances that draw us into the bosom of this family , making us care deeply about their hopes and aspirations . the story may be elusive but the film’s human heart is bold , striking and tangible .
in july 2012 , actor prasanna tweeted that rajan madhav had finished penning his next script and that he will be a part of the cast . the film was titled as ula in august 2012 and said to be a multi - starrer . instead of the director ' s brother sajan , thaman was signed in to compose the score , while padmesh and praveen k . l . - n . b . srikanth were reportedly roped in as the cinematographer and the editors . prasanna in september told that rajan madhav had been working on the script for eight months and that it was planned to start in december . saiarun was later signed as the editor , replacing praveen and srikanth .
german production designers have an excellent international reputation , and it was not for nothing that three oscars® were awarded to the potsdam studio babelsberg art department in february 2015 . as lange explains , however , they still have to fight for acknowledgment at home . the profession is more highly valued in england , france and the usa , no doubt partly because more expensive films with a need for more lavish production design tend to be produced there . all the same , he has no desire to change career because his work is so varied : “each film comes with its own challenges : there may be very little time , there may be lots of different film locations , or the film may be particularly complex in historical terms . at the end of the day , however , it is always a joy to see one’s idea grow and then take on concrete form . ”
by inviting artists from different disciplines ( film , theater , visual art , etc . ) to produce personal work within its existing structure , the viewmaster becomes a platform in which different works that are fully authored by the invited artists are tested within the controlled time and space of this performance tool .
a distinguished graduate of the american film institute , seamus’ most recent credits include : the comedy in a world directed by lake bell staring lake , demetri martin , rob corddry , ken marino . he shot josh radnor’s directorial debut happythankyoumoreplease starring radnor , malin ackerman , kate mara and richard jenkins , which won the audience award at sundance this year . seamus has also shot 2nd unit on nbc’s big budget show kings starring ian mcshane , adam released by fox searchlight starring hugh dancy and rose byrne ( the new york times singled out his work in the film ) ; “the good guy” starring bryan greenberg and scott porter ( premiered at the 2009 tribeca film festival ) ; and the narrows directed by françois velle and starring vincent d’onofrio , eddie cahill and sophia bush , released by cinedigm . other recent accomplishments include veronika decides to die directed by emily young and starring sarah michelle gellar , jonathan tucker and erika christensen .
says prasanna : “our friendship goes back to the days of azhagiya theeye . he watched the film and offered me a role even before its release . that was the time his autograph was running successfully . for some reason , that project didn’t take off . now i am happy working with him in chennaiyil oru naal . ”
his work begins weeks and sometimes even months before shooting actually starts . ideally , a production designer is already involved at the treatment stage , though usually their job begins with the screenplay : “while reading , i already find a film unrolling in my own head as i automatically conjure up the appropriate settings and atmospheres” , explains lange .
canadian born filmmaker riel roch decter is currently the director of production for the la based independent feature film company olympus pictures . while working at olympus , riel has helped the company produce numerous award winning feature films including stuart blumberg’s debut feature thanks for sharing starring mark ruffalo , gwyneth paltrow , and tim robbins , andrew adamson’s film mr . pip starring hugh laurie , julian farino’s the oranges starring hugh laurie , leighton meester , and catherine keener , john cameron mitchell’s rabbit hole starring nicole kidman and aaron eckhart , for which kidman was nominated for an oscar for best actress , and mike mills’ beginners starring ewan mcgregor and christopher plummer , for which plummer won the 2012 academy award for best supporting actor .
seamus has shot over 25 feature films and over 45 short films such as artistic license ( which won the audience award at the austin film festival ) . his accolades also include “movie theatre hero” , recipient of the 2002 coca - cola refreshing filmmakers award that screened in amc theatres across the country ; and zen : the art of landscaping recipient of the 2001 student academy award .
prior to founding northwood productions , de pencier was the director of development for both divisions of robert redford’s company , wildwood enterprises and southfork pictures . de pencier began her career as an actress and singer performing in numerous productions on stage , television and screen including starring as josie pye in the acclaimed television film anne of green gables and performing on stage in the canadian premiere productions of les miserables and andrew lloyd webber’s aspects of love .
the narrative may nominally pivot upon the provenance of the unborn child ( a question that the screenplay , like its protagonist , refuses to discuss ) , yet tucker green is clearly more interested in the familiar interpersonal tensions that are as immediately recognisable as those of a mike leigh film . having earned her spurs in both theatre and television ( she adapted her stage - play random for channel 4 in 2011 ) , this versatile writer - director knows how to draw natural performances from her cast , the playful musical lilt of her dialogue giving way to bouts of resonant silence . there’s also a touch of ken loach’s kes , not just in the overlapping conversations but in a fluttering subplot about an injured bird that comes to signify much more than just fragile dreams or nurturing instincts . in the absence of angels , this flightless creature is the closest the film comes to playing its theological hand .
the production designer is always the head of the art department , with responsibility for managing the budget and putting a team together . depending on the scale of the production , the art department may include not only an assistant , a property master and a location scout , but also an additional art director , set dresser or set decorator . together , they select suitable furniture and furnishings . as lange explains , organizational talent and communication skills are important prerequisites for the job : “one has to motivate the team and give them the feeling that the film is really theirs” .
none of which is to suggest that second coming should be seen as a “supernatural” picture . despite the title ( which oddly conjures allusions to such horror staples as rosemary’s baby and the omen ) , tucker green’s film is more a meditation upon the life - changing effects of pregnancy and the hopes , fears and anxieties that attend any birth . to this end , young francis lewis does a wonderful job of hinting at jj’s only - child fears of an interloper , while elba captures the disorienting rage of a husband impotently shut out of his partner’s affections with sinewy conviction .
maximilian lange first studied interior design and then worked as an assistant production designer before becoming a fully - fledged production designer himself . for many years the only way into production design was to switch from another career . it is only since 1991 that there has been formal academic training and continuing education routes into this profession . as compared to a career change , one of the advantages of studying production design is that a combination of theoretical seminars and practical film projects provides students with basic cinematic knowledge , thus enabling them to give valuable input within the production team . in addition , students are able to network and establish useful contacts , says regine witzig , who is responsible for the two - and - a - half - year project - based degree course in production design at the filmakademie baden - württemberg : “by the time they graduate they know quite a few camera operators , directors and producers . ” that said , it is also important for film academy graduates to work as assistant production designers . there is probably no one - size - fits - all recipe for a career in production design . “a healthy self - confidence” is necessary , believes regine witzig : “production designers have to deal with all kinds of different people and need to be able to push their ideas through . ”
“venkat is again close to me . we became friends while participating in a fund - raising programme organised by the banyan . i had wanted to work with venkat ever since and when his chennai 600028 was to go on floors i wanted to be part of it . however , venkat pointed out that it was a film for newcomers , and i , an established artiste , would not fit in . unfortunately , when he wanted to cast me in mankatha , i couldn’t take it up because of date problems . now , his biriyani has come my way . all i can say at this point is i play an important role in it . ”
the series explores the possibilities of viewmaster as a tool that can be used by other artist to develop own work . taking the idea of vm as an architectural machine rather than a scenography to its limit , it is logical to give the object to different users , freeing it from its unique relation to one specific work and developing it as a mobile production unit . in the series invited guests develop a personal score based on the viewmaster’s architectural and conceptual set - up . through a hands - on workshop of 2 days and a 3 - 4 week residency they can develop an own episode of the viewmaster series . much as the cinema apparatus is used to create and project each time a different film .
with offices in los angeles and toronto , de pencier has a large slate of films and television series in development . recent producing credits include : thanks for sharing written and directed by academy award nominee stuart blumberg and starring mark ruffalo , gwyneth paltrow , tim robbins , josh gad and the international pop star alecia moore . beginners directed by mike mills and starring ewan mcgregor and christopher plummer . produced with olympus pictures and released by focus features . beginners earned numerous awards including the 2012 academy award for best supporting actor for christopher plummer as well as the golden globe , independent spirit award , bafta award and sag award for best supporting actor . the film also won the 2011 gotham award for best picture of the year . adam starring hugh dancy , rose byrne , peter gallagher and amy irving and pu - 239 for beacon pictures and hbo , and executive produced by steven soderbergh and george clooney .

new york , 1959 . max bialystock was once the king of broadway , but now all his shows close on opening night . things turn around when he ' s visited by the neurotic accountant leo bloom , who proposes a scheme tailor - made for producers who can only make flops : raise far more money than you need , then make sure the show is despised . no one will be interested in it , so you can pocket the surplus . to this end , they produce a musical called springtime for hitler written by escaped nazi franz liebken . then they get the insanely flamboyant roger de bris to direct . finally , they hire as a lead actress the loopy swedish bombshell ulla ( whose last name has over 15 syllables ) . as opening night draws near , what can go wrong ? well , there ' s no accounting for taste . . .
three songs from the broadway show were cut :
king of broadway
,
in old bavaria
, and
where did we go right ?
the second act reprise of
opening night
was also cut , as were sections of
along came bialy
. despite
where did we go right ?
being cut , the reference to this song in
betrayed
remains .

iracles may be an everyday occurrence , but in a secular age they can be less of a blessing than a curse . films as diverse as carl theodor dreyer’s
have wrestled with the anachronistic intersection between the domestic and the allegedly divine , with results ranging from comedy to tragedy . in terms of subject matter , playwright debbie tucker green’s beautifully ambiguous debut feature perhaps bears comparison with richard glatzer and wash westmoreland’s 2006 oddity
) , in which a mexican - american girl approaching her 15th birthday discovers she is pregnant , despite her certainty that she is still a virgin .
in second coming , jackie ( nadine marshall ) is a middle - aged mum with a history of miscarriages whose family life is thrown into turmoil by the prospect of another child . for jackie , her much - loved 11 - year - old son , jj , ( kai francis lewis ) is a miracle in his own right . yet the prospect of another pregnancy raises the spectre both of traumatic maternal loss and of marital estrangement from mark ( idris elba ) , with whom she has not been intimate for some time . is jackie’s silence on the subject of her conception a symptom of denial , deceit , derangement – or something altogether more mysterious ?
in a highly nuanced central performance , marshall is both engaging and evasive , perfectly matching the fluid tone of tucker green’s enigmatic urban parable . scenes of adroitly observed dinner - table domesticity sit alongside surreal episodes in which holy water ( baptism or deluge ? ) falls upon the mother - to - be in what may be a dream , a fantasy or a “vision” . brilliantly , this increasingly tempestuous theme is introduced in a manner so mundane that at first we think it’s nothing more than a problem with the plumbing . only when the water starts to sweep dramatically across the screen do we appreciate that something otherworldly may be at hand , although whether this is all in the head or the heart of a tormented soul is left for us to decide . more than once i was reminded of the indefinability of carol morley’s the falling , with its almost subliminal flashes of jungian interactivity , a hive - mind existing beyond time and space , scratching at the edge of our subconscious .

when the wall came down and currency and country were united , the actress grischa huber thought it time to do something to console the german people . like hölderlin , she saw the germans as a people torn apart . as a great devotee of j . c . f . hölderlin she selected one of her favorite literary works , the novel
. she performed the work in the hall of paintings of the hamburg theater . until 1991 she formed part of the ensemble in hamburg . her one - hour performance was a surprise hit both with the hamburg critics as well as the young members of the audience . so she decided to repeat the hölderlin evenings .
is the germans ' old refrain . it is a hard saying , and yet i speak it because it is the truth : i can think of no people more at odds with themselves than the germans . you see artisans , but no men , thinkers , but no men , priests , but no men , masters and servants , but no men , minors and adults , but no men - is this not like a battlefield on which hacked - off hands and arms and every other member are scattered about , while the life - blood flows from them to vanish in the sand ?
but your germans choose not to go beyond the barest necessities , which is the reason why there is so much botched work among them and so little that is free , that gives any genuine pleasure . yet that could be overlooked , were not such men of necessity insensitive to what is beautiful in life , did not the curse of godforsaken unnature everywhere lie upon such a people . would that i could show you a freer country , a country filled with beauty and soul , and say :
the oil is exported through a 20” pipeline via ekofisk to teeside . all gas is re - injected into the reservoir to enhance recovery of oil .

17 . one - eyed jacks ( marlon brando , 1961 ) brando fell out with original director stanley kubrick , leaving the star to helm the only film he directed , a take on the billy the kid legend . one - eyed jacks became famous for brando’s excesses with an original running time of over four hours , but is now viewed as a fascinating , brooding masterpiece , and thanks to its stunning monterey and big sur locations , one of the most aesthetically beautiful westerns ever made . a restored version was shown at this year’s cannes film festival .
one - eyed jacks ‘ reception has been curious . filmmaker peter bogdanovich told indiewire it was “the last time brando acted out of true commitment , an uncynical passion for the material , ” and that he gave “one of his best performances… his direction is perceptive and effective — all the actors are uniformly excellent . ”

one of the major film restoration events of 2016 was universal’s digital overhaul of marlon brando ’s one - eyed jacks ( 1961 ) , an important bridge between the classical westerns of john ford and the genre - busting revisionism of sam peckinpah and sergio leone , not to mention arthur penn , who would work with brando on another great iconoclastic western , the missouri breaks , around 15 years later . like the missouri breaks , one - eyed jacks is an unruly passion project filled with idiosyncratic touches and auteurist preoccupations . yet since brando never directed another movie before or after , the motifs connect not to his other work behind the camera [ … ]
originally released in 1961 , one - eyed jacks stars brando as a bank robber who is betrayed by his partner ( karl malden ) and arrested in mexico . years later , he escapes from prison and seeks vengeance but falls in love with his former accomplice’s stepdaughter ( pina pellicer ) .
“you don’t have to judge one - eyed jacks as just ‘entertainment’ , not like a couple of hours excitement and escape from reality . it comes up to scratch even without the forgiving attitude usually adopted when faced with the stereotypical characters used in a western” ( karin michael , aftonbladet ) .
milne also allowed , however , that one - eyed jacks was a bit of a mess , and he pointed to one fount of the confusion , the psychological complexities that brando had grappled to inject into his characters , when he wrote : “the result , laced with some fine traditional sequences and stretches of masochistic violence , is a western of remarkable though sometimes muddled power . ”
> one - eyed jacks ( 1961 ) for several months with marlon brando , but the creative differences between the two finally became too great , and kubrick left the project , which was ultimately directed by brando himself . kubrick then accepted douglas’s offer to take over the direction of spartacus ( 1960 ) …
five and a half decades after its original release , marlon brando’s only film as a director will be back on the big screen and looking better than ever . the brooding western one - eyed jacks has been restored by universal pictures and the film foundation and will be unveiled monday evening at the cannes film festival .
o ne - eyed jacks finally began shooting in late 1958 , and went months and months over schedule , and cost paramount millions over the film’s original budget . beyond the cost of cast , crew and location– one - eyed jacks was being shot in vistavision , an expensive filming process that cost 50 cents a foot back then . brando was camera happy and had reportedly shot hundreds of thousands of feet of footage , as he sought artistic inspiration for both himself and his actors– particularly the young mexican actress , pina pellicer , with whom he had a special connection .
viewed so long in subpar quality for a movie so gorgeously shot , underrated but admired by many , and with a fascinating , tangled backstory to its production , marlon brando’s beautifully acted , moody and unique as hell one - eyed jacks finally got the respect and restoration it deserved , complete with loving tribute from martin scorsese .
as martin scorsese says in the introduction recorded for this blu - ray , one - eyed jacks serves as a bridge between old and new hollywood . broadly speaking , old hollywood was firstly concerned with filmmaking as a business with attractions to keep audiences enticed , such as movie stars , technicolor , and vistavision—all of which are incorporated into one - eyed jacks . by contrast , new hollywood , often associated with directors such as scorsese , dennis hopper , francis ford coppola , and others , was self - consciously occupied with personal expression , which it achieved by using the genre strictures of old hollywood productions as a bedrock foundation , a safe space from which expressionism could grow and take root .

i appreciate jazz as the heritage and history of new orleans , but one eyed jacks first and foremost is a rock ’n’ roll club . but we leave the door open for everyone . with the burlesque shows and other jazz stuff that we offer , showing movies and the ’80s dance night , there is a variety ; it does have something for everybody .
' one - eyed jacks is largely a story of vengeance . . . the film begins with two american outlaws operating in mexico . . . rio ( brando ) , a happy - go - lucky man who considers himself a don juan , and dad longworth ( karl malden ) , a crooked man looking for the opportunity to settle down . . .
the group of artists that released on , or remixed for , one eyed jacks include tiago , pal + , roundhouse kick , ivvvo , sabre , auxon , snuff crew , auntie flo , chrononautz , worker / parasite , violet , infestus aka dj downrock , galaxian , kruton aka bintus , voiron , ursa ' s reef , lake haze and photonz themselves .
this , again , is a description of a technique rather than a guarantee of quality . the final scene of one - eyed jacks , for example , fails to achieve full closure because the film does not provide a convincing future for rio and his partner , yet the closing is framed as if no questions remain about their happiness or what will happen to them .
so even though the film’s main revenge plotline really never comes together ( the final showdown between rio and dad is a little underwhelming ) , there is still plenty to respect about this film . for one , it looks gorgeous . of course , a lot of the westerns from this time that were shot on location in the vast expanses of america’s southwestern region tend to look pretty breathtaking , but one - eyed jacks in particular has a lot of great imagery .
indeed , coherence serves as the central heuristic approach to the film and is the source of the failure ( whether “accidental” or a sign of greatness , in adorno’s sense , remains to be seen ) of one - eyed jacks . alongside the strikingly incongruous structural conflict between the revenge and romance plots run a series of other contradictions that threaten to reduce the film to dramatic nonsense .
in a pivotal moment near the end of the film , rio accuses dad of being a “one - eyed jack” that only shows most people one side of his personality while rio knows the other side . the same is true of rio , of course , except that he seems to be far less calculating as to when he shows his “other” side . in the world of one - eyed jacks people are not coherent selves . they may present ( as does dad ) a coherent façade to others in a self - serving manner , in an effort to be accepted and gain influence . alternatively , the can ( like rio ) allow any sense of coherence to disintegrate into a series of actions , none of which absolutely represents the subject behind the action insofar as there is no one subject to be found .
well , he also fired sam peckinpah , who later did the “two friends on either side of the law” thing with pat garrett and billy the kid . ( it’s worth noting that the novel one - eyed jacks is based on was a novelization of the career of billy the kid . perhaps garrett was merely peckinpah’s adaptation of the script he tried to get brando to do . )

marlon brandos only directorial effort , one - eyed jacks , receives a much needed upgrade from criterion , who present the film on blu - ray in its original aspect ratio of 1 . 85 : 1 . the 1080p / 24hz high - definition presentation comes from a new 4k restoration of the film undertaken by universal pictures and the film foundation , and was scanned from the original 35mm 8 - perforation vistavision negative and a y - separation master .
i am told that brando’s original cut of the movie ran over five hours and was greatly concerned with the shades of gray in all the characters’ lives . touches of that ambiguity still remain , but as it is , one - eyed jacks seems very much like a typical early - 60s studio product . the score , too , seems rote and uninspired . the movie was , apparently , a hit , but brando disowned it and never directed again .
some of the films in the lineup include plenty of nyff debuts returning once again : gillo pontecorvo’s “the battle of algiers , ” which was the the nyff opening night selection in 1967 , robert bresson’s “l’argent , ” and barbara kopple’s “harlan county usa . ” also included are a program of jacques rivette’s early short films , edward yang’s second feature “taipei story , ” kenji mizoguchi’s “ugetsu , ” and marlon brando’s solo directorial effort “one - eyed jacks . ”
journalists , famously averse to editors cutting their golden words , might sympathize with actual creators in the arts whose work meets fates like brando did , with one - eyed jacks . but , judging by what we see in the film , and can glean from brando biographies and autobiographies , his grappling with his characters’ psychology would not likely have been resolved if he had had free rein to explore and develop it during the hours’ more running time he had sought .
while on the waterfront and streetcar named desire , both directed by elia kazan , are landmark hollywood films featuring two of the most celebrated performances brando ever gave ( he and malden both won oscars , malden for streetcar , brando for waterfront ) , one - eyed jacks is one of those compulsively quotable movies , so crazed and quirky , so rich in style , detail , and language , mood and movement , that people who “know it by heart” take it into their lives to the point where kindred spirits recognize one another whenever their paths cross . once the contact is made , these fanatics will begin reciting favorite passages , assuming the voices of the characters , and all but singing brando’s lines .
the restoration has been doing the festival circuit , and criterion collection will issue home - video packages on dvd and blu - ray , late in 2016 . admirers have for years generally had to view the film in sub - standard copies , so the new release presumably will only boost the cult status of one - eyed jacks , which has stemmed from the film’s oblique take on hollywood genre conventions , and from its faithful followers’ considering it psychologically compelling and visually memorable .
22 june 1961 : brando’s directorial debut brings back to the western genre a sense of period and a sense of community with the arrival of marlon brando ’s one - eyed jacks , possibly the best western film since shane , one begins to speculate all over again on the future of this thankfully inexhaustible genre . and perhaps the most important and impressive feature of brando’s piece is that it brings back to the western a sense of period , a sense of community , decidedly lacking during the last few years . related : lonely rangers : the dark side of westerns continue reading . . .
jacks , however , this seems like a byproduct of a film that just went through too many rewrites in preproduction combined with an inexperienced director at the helm known for his indulgences .
in this year’s cannes and new york film festivals , martin scorsese presented a restored version of the classic western one - eyed jacks ( 1961 ) , directed by film legend marlon brando . it’s the best restoration to date according to scorsese , who wanted to recover , or reproduce to some degree , the original size and quality of the vista vision format , which was used during the 50s in such movies as the ten commandments ( 1956 ) and vertigo ( 1958 ) .

, marlon brando saunters into a saloon in the dusty town of sonora , mexico . with sun - bronzed skin , slicked back hair , holster slung low , he surveys the place with a slow sweep of the head and a keen eye on the denizens . “you know that’s the movie i was named after , ” rio hackford , owner of the rock ’n’ roll bar and live - music venue one eyed jacks , tells me . “brando’s character is rio the kid . it’s one of my dad’s favorite movies . ” with a lean frame , purposeful swagger and affinity for mexican culture , hackford
and it would be easy to believe them given one eyed jacks’ gilt - framed collection of nude velvet paintings that adorn its red flocked damask wallpaper . despite the fact that only the building’s facade could be the considered of historic value , step inside for a drink and you’ll find that new orleans aesthetic style that so many visitors fall for . elements like banquette style seating , an oversized chandelier and spotty gold mirror make for the vintage , shabby glam synonymous with the city . it’s an atmosphere that draws on historical decor but one that exalts character , imperfection and exudes a strong scent of impropriety .
one - eyed jacks also has a second , even smaller bar upstairs , the matador . dark and discreet , the space evokes a 1960s feel . true to its name , velvet paintings of bulls dominate . so do echoes of james bond and secret trysts . matador’s hours are erratic and based on crowd - size and unless you’re in the know , you’d probably miss the door leading upstairs . but if you’re there on a happening night , it’s worth inquiring if the matador is open .
the studio got its misbegotten way after wearing brando down to the point he walked away and left the final editing to others . long after , when newsweek asked him about one - eyed jacks , he said : “any pretension i’ve had sometimes of being artistic is now just a long , chilly hope . ” malden claimed : “if we’d made it the way marlon wanted it made , like a greek tragedy , it could have been a breakthrough western . it could have been a classic . ”
one - eyed jacks turns many of the billy the kid clichés inside out without any obvious references to the myth , though peter manso’s biography of brando says many incidents were taken directly from the life of billy the kid and that brando had consulted many of the kid’s bios before starting filming ( 1994 : 484 ) . the kid ' s arrest , incarceration and escape come close to the western legend about billy the kid , as seen in pekinpah ' s pat garrett and billy the kid .
one - eyed jacks presents itself as the classic moral tale in asking “is rio justified in his desire to kill dad ? ” and then fails to provide an adequate answer to that question . that failure is absolutely necessary in that the film puts forward a vision of the self as cipher , an incoherent jumble of actions without purpose , without cause , without explanation ( beyond banalities and clichés that no one really believes in the first place - - the characters insist that those around them are liars ) . in this world , more accurately , there is no self , just inept flailing gestures pointing to the void .
one of several projects kubrick and harris worked on but was never film in the hiatus between paths of glory and spartacus .
one - eyed jacks is a deeply introspective western , with most of the hallmarks of the genre , that’s viscerally eaten up with the alienation of its director - actor , marlon brando . contemporary audiences who know brando less by his acting than by his tabloid reputation as a prodigious indulger , a man given to bountiful food and women , who was prone to endless re - takes on sets , might be astonished by the sense of authorial control that he exhibits here , both as filmmaker and star . the authorship of the film is somewhat debatable , of course , as brando shot miles of footage , went over budget , and reportedly turned in a five - and - a - half - hour cut that was shortened by paramount and tamed with reshoots . what scans in the surviving one - eyed jacks , however , is a sense of orchestrated chaos and blooming obsession . brando and his collaborators revel in psychological textures that retrospectively suggest a merging of the sensibilities of john ford and michelangelo antonioni .
the same questions apply to brando’s directing effort in one - eyed jacks . it ' s an action film with precious little action . it ' s a romance that seems almost devoid of genuine emotion . it ' s a character study without coherent characters . the film acts as though it offers explanations . the characters hold forth , telling of their past , their interpretations of that past , and their hopes for a future . but nothing is explained , really . every effort is mere grasping at sand .
for one , setting it in the seaside town of monterey leads to plenty of fantastic looking shots of its characters set against these vistas where the land meets the sea ( supposedly brando spent hours waiting to set up the film’s ocean shots so they looked just right ) . also , the fact that it was paramount’s final film to be shot in vistavision , which offers a crystal clear , expansive look to its locations and characters , helps . which also makes it come as no surprise that despite the film’s disappointing critical and box office reception , cinematographer charles lang was nominated for an oscar for his work on one - eyed jacks .
all smiles : everything looks deceptively convivial as dad longworth ( karl malden ) , his wife ( katy jurado ) and stepdaughter luisa ( pina pellicier ) host dads old sidekick , rio , the kid ( marlon brando ) , except that rio is planning to seduce luisa and kill dad . among the many beauties in one - eyed jacks is the scene where luisa confesses to her mother . pelliciers performance is unforgettable and is marked by an all - too convincing vulnerability . in 1964 , she took her own life .
one - eyed jacks came into a particular time of his life . in the 50s he had consolidated himself as the biggest movie actor in the world but a particular personal tragedy eclipsed all the joys of success and lust . his mother , the only person who had encouraged his sensitive acting side , died while he was making on the waterfront ( 1954 ) . after that he basically stopped caring that much for the industry and his idea of directing was influenced is some part by this feeling of disbelief . he had become a truly indomitable force and felt that there was no one out there but himself that could tame that rage and frustration .
marlon brando ' s only directorial effort , one - eyed jacks , has always stood outside of the norm . positioned between old and new hollywood , in both style as well as technical attributes , it was a film that 1961 audiences found confusing in some ways . bosley crowther , then lead critic for the new york times , commented :
what is extraordinary about it is that it proceeds in two contrasting styles . one is hard and realistic ; the other is romantic and lush . all the way through it runs a jangle of artistic ambivalence . it is as if it had been directed jointly by john huston and raoul walsh .
a standard riff among champions of one - eyed jacks is that paramount foiled brando’s grand conception . in the record of tussle between auteur and studio executives , they have no trouble finding reasons to flatter their idol . brando wanted paramount to take a 4 - hour - 42 - minute cut to the cinemas – the cut he had reduced his original eight hours to , under studio pressure – but paramount , already perturbed at how over budget the production was , managed to pare him back to 141 minutes , fully one - half his preferred length . paramount did that by , for example , losing sequences in the sonoro prison where rio nurtured his thirst for revenge .
for years i have been waiting for a good print of this very fine western . mandacy dvd has a version that is terrible . then the other day i ' m at best buy , and i see one - eyed jacks in a widescreen version from diamond video on dvd . for $ 7 . 99 ! ! ! i figure , what - the - hell . i can always get my money back . it is a great transfer . it is the best money i have ever spent on a dvd . this is one of my favorite westerns . a real brooding film about revenge . marlon brando made this his only directing effort . to bad . this is one of his best performances . if you ' ve never seen it , treat yourself . you won ' t be sorry .
as it finally appeared , one - eyed jacks is the story of “kid” rio ( marlon brando ) , a bank - robber on the mexican border who is abandoned to the police by his partner “dad” longworth . when rio , now planning a robbery with another gang , tracks down “dad” again , the older man has married a mexican woman with a grown daughter and become sheriff of the small town of monterrey , california , where the bank raid is to take place . rio visits “dad” at home and meets the step - daughter .
in april 2002 , hackford and ryan hesseling , along with general manger cory allen , founded one eyed jacks . the seductive red , black and gold decor echoes mexican saloons and bordellos : velvet - flocked damask wallpaper , black - velvet paintings of half - clad senoritas and matadors , votives , mirrors , a giant chandelier . a horseshoe - shaped bar dominates the main room and a heavily draped stage evokes the toulouse theatre that was housed in the building so long ago . tucked in a cozy corner above a padded booth hangs a framed
mrs miller and its release of marlon brando’s one eyed jacks . in the end i opted for the latter , based solely on the power of the truly staggering restoration that carries the brando film . this disc has the potential to be legacy - salvaging , with the film having unfairly languished in public - domain limbo for the past couple of decades . coincidentally my favourite masters of cinema disc was also a western , its release of anthony mann’s the man from laramie , presented via a 4k restoration and with a number of handsome extras .
always a blast with great food and awesome service . one of the few places still around where local music and art can thrive !
the best of several dvd versions of “one - eyed jacks” is from platinum video . maybe malden’s death will encourage paramount to finally put out a special edition . now if only someone could dig up the four hours of lost scenes in the prison and japanese fishing village . of the numerous books about brando , the latest is stefan kanfer’s “somebody : the reckless life and remarkable career of marlon brando” ( knopf 2008 ) , which i’ve consulted for this column . malden’s “anonymity” quote is from an interview on serbblog by m . v . pejakovich .
i found myself thinking about the aesthetic qualities of failure when viewing the film one - eyed jacks ( 1961 ) , marlon brando’s only directorial effort , which will be running in new york city at film forum 14 - 20 october . the production history of the film is fascinating . it was originally to be scripted by sam peciknpah ( an even earlier script was penned by rod serling ) and directed by stanley kubrick . brando’s production company paid for the rights to the story and he soon fired peckinpah and then kubrick . brando decided to direct .
brandoland , a website that tracks all matters relating to marlon brando , noted : “one eyed jacks” is considered by many movie critics to be a classic . [ … ] and in europe , the film is a cult classic . ” manso focuses on its many good reviews : “the new york daily news gave it four stars , calling the film ‘stunning , ’ just as time , the new york post , and the new yorker used words like ‘startlingly beautiful , ’ ‘top - hole , forceful , and lively , ’ and ‘spectacular…graphic and sickening . ’”

well it ' s now official that one - eyed jacks will finally be seen properly on home video via the criterion collection in blu ray come nov 22 . what i don ' t fully understand why the great music score by hugo friedhofer isn ' t going to be in stereo when it was recorded that way . kritzerland records released a very fine 2 disc recording of the original score and soundtrack album all in stereo . why couldn ' t the people ' in charge ' think of friedhofer ' s score and present it in it ' s best light ?

great stuff ! at the end of last year we had , spartacus & my fair lady , & this year it ' s one - eyed jacks , i wonder what the goodie will be late next year ? i do have a multi - region player ( although it is still in the box ) , but i ' m going to wait for a bit , it ' s bound to be released in europe ( b ) & i ' d like to support that , if the wait is too long , i ' m sure i ' ll cave in & buy the criterion .
although brando would never again find himself behind the camera , he acquitted himself well , winning favourable—if not enthusiastic—reviews as both director and star . however , his lack of discipline resulted in costly budget overruns . his final cut ran more than five hours , and paramount executives eventually shortened the film into a still - leisurely 141 minutes . although occasionally uneven , one - eyed jacks is a compelling morality tale , with strong chemistry between brando and malden . brando’s reputation suffered further in 1962 when the box - office failure of mgm ’s mutiny on the bounty was blamed on his recalcitrant behaviour during production .
one - eyed jacks has been in public domain long enough to inspire many infamously and dispiritingly faded cheapie dvds , designed to court your western - loving dad ' s eye in a discount walmart bin . working with universal pictures and filmmakers martin scorsese and steven spielberg , criterion has restored to the film its epic formal majesty . the technicolor is ravishing , with deep reds and blacks , and multifaceted browns and grays . the clarity of this restoration also reminds one of the intoxicating sense of detail that vistavision can provide . facial contours , obviously important to a study of faces , are pristine and tactile . the soundtrack resounds with booming body , which is particularly evident when rendering the waves crashing against the california coastline . a gorgeous and important restoration .

that all led brando to hire guy trosper , who until that point was known for writing two baseball movies — the stratton story in 1949 which had starred james stewart , and the pride of st . louis in 1952 , which drew an oscars nomination — and the execrable 1957 elvis presley star turn , jailhouse rock . ( curiously , the willingham script of one - eyed jacks that trosper completed was adapted by bülent oran in 1965 for a turkish bandit potboiler , daglarin oglu ( “son of the mountain” ) , by the prolific yilmaz atadeniz . ( you’d hardly credit it , but an atrocious copy is on youtube . )
there are so many of these references that some have suggested the links might mean sk is creating one giant film over the course of his whole career .
one - eyed jacks broadly retells the story of pat garrett and billy the kid , in which an outlaw goes straight and pursues his former ally . dad abandons rio in the mexican desert , which brando renders in astonishingly intense wind - swept tableaus that synonymize rio’s entrapment and heartbreak . years later , after a bold ellipsis , rio escapes prison and tracks dad down to monterey , discerning this information in one of the film’s greatest scenes . sitting in a nearly empty bar , rio is approached by bob emory ( ben johnson ) about a bank heist , which the men discuss in poetically terse stanzas of one - upmanship . bob baits rio with knowledge of dad’s whereabouts , and brando conveys rio’s curiosity with a sigh of accommodation that’s so pregnant with emotion yet so submerged that it’s purposefully comical . this is brando at the peak of his powers , playing with an audience’s expectations of the moment , while coloring in contours of personality between the lines .
that made this splendid re - release possible . as marlon brando’s sole directorial effort , it perfectly encapsulates his position as a movie star , one foot in the old studio system , one foot in the new cinema school , but his head entirely in the clouds , above it all , pursuing his own dream .
for universal pictures , one - eyed jacks is about the thirtieth project it has completed since announcing a restoration agenda during universal’s centennial in 2012 ; among them has been another iconic western , clint eastwood’s high plains drifter . the company plans another 25 releases during the next year or so . in 2015 , it announced a silent - film initiative in which it will restore about 15 films from its first decades , including murder drama the last warning , oh doctor starring reginald denny and mary astor , tod browning’s outside the law , and sensation seekers , about a “man of god” who falls in love with a “jazz - crazed butterfly . ”
“it is an oddity of this film , ” a variety review held , “that both its strength and its weakness lie in the area of characterization . brando’s concept calls , above all , for depth of character , for human figures endowed with overlapping good and bad sides to their nature . ” instead , the release of a restored one - eyed jacks brings into sharper focus that brando was unable to separate his own psychology from what his characters’ might have been . dave kehr in chicago reader observed : “the most memorable scenes have a fierce masochistic intensity , as if brando were taking the opportunity to punish himself for some unknown crime . ”
