however , none have received quite the acclaim being chucked the way of the disaster artist with the james franco - directed film receiving a standing ovation which lasted for the entirety of the post - screening q & a with the film ' s cast - a festival first .

there isn’t much more to the plot than the tides of this relationship , and as it fizzles , so does the film . reflecting the theme of order and mathematics , domain is divided into mini chapters with a shot of menacingly green , swirling water , and a note of how much time has passed . there is almost as little point to this gimmick as the incongruously pop soundtrack . for the most part , the music is a confused and unnecessary addition to the film that , aside from one momentarily entrancing cabaret number , may have worked better without music . the palate is dark and overcast , though this seemed more indicative of the low budget rather than carefully crafted mood , and the overall effect of watching domain is unsatisfyingly depressive .
jurassic outpost’s chris pugh tweeted on friday that “isla nublar rescue mission” could hint at jurassic world 2’s official title , referring to universal’s “telling move” when it bought the domain name for ”fate of the furious . ” still , pugh finds it “unlikely” that the domain is actually jurassic world 2’s title . the more likely scenario is that the “rescue mission” refers to a plot device , like a fictional organization . . . or literally just an actual mission .
the premise of jurassic world 2 reportedly took bryce dallas howard by surprise , which means there’s little chance that the sequel will be another run - of - the - mill killer dinosaur flick . bayona has previously referred to the sequel as a “fun” dinosaur adventure , but has also hinted at political elements playing a major role in the film . the domain names make it clear that jurassic world 2 will contain political themes , but it won’t be clear exactly what kind of film it wants to be until more new information comes out .
the cast - including james franco , his brother dave and alison brie - were all in attendance at the premiere in which frenzied inflatable football - throwing fans of the film ' s inspiration - “worst film ever made” the room - turned up in their droves in what has easily been the festival ' s biggest draw .
as troubled lisa , madi vodane is effective and for a low budget production that deals with real - life horrific issues such as bulimia , depression and self - harm , devil’s domain has certainly has promise . we feel for this young lady , initially…

the film as a whole doesn ' t make a lot of sense , but from moment to moment it is effectively visceral and raw . it ' s compelling almost by accident .
at around midnight in toronto last night , there was only one place anyone wanted to be - at the ryerson theatre for the midnight madness screening of new film the disaster artist .
and new owners will be able to make their own use of the cupboard under the stairs , which in the film was harry’s pokey bedroom , with crammed in shelves and a camp bed .
a suggestive relationship between pierre ( isaïe sultan ) , a handsome teenage boy , and nadia ( betty blue ’s béatrice dalle ) , his wild , older aunt , seems like a promising formula , but in the case of domain , this set - up delivers little more than a few good performances .
all this can easily be applied to the film , where transitions that in literature took centuries have come about in a decade . in cinematic practice , particularly in russia , this change - over has partially become established reality . some of the players whom we meet in russian films are not actors in our sense but people who portray themselves and primarily in their own work process . in western europe the capitalistic exploitation of the film denies consideration to modern man’s legitimate claim to being reproduced . under these circumstances the film industry is trying hard to spur the interest of the masses through illusion - promoting spectacles and dubious speculations .
jurassic world 2 is ready to enter the production phase , as filming for the highly anticipated sequel is reportedly beginning very soon . director j . a . bayona is building buzz for his approach to the sequel as a darker film than its predecessor , while the idea of less cgi and more of a mix of digital and animatronic effects gives the film a chance to look and feel closer to the original jurassic park .
satan would find a lot more willing customers if it always appeared in the guise of the hottie villain featured in jared cohn’s grungy horror film . played by linda bella , this demon who goes by the name of destiny wears a slinky red dress showing off a killer body . even when her face occasionally morphs into a truly grotesque visage , she’s still alluring . the character turns out to be the best thing about devil’s domain , which attempts to elevate its familiar genre tropes by throwing in moralizing lessons about online bullying , among other things .
director of the room tommy wiseau also walked the red carpet having come straight from a pre - screening party also attended by co - star greg sestero and chloë sevigny at the festival to promote new film lean on pete .
aided by a more ‘interested’ performance by michael madsen , devil’s domain gets off on the right cloven hoof . as lisa’s stepfather , madsen’s character bill questions the cruelty of teenagers and the use of technology to make matters worse . of course , back in 1976 teens didn’t need mobiles and web cams to be cruel to carrie but that’s another story…
as expected , the remainder of devil’s domain offers the audience conscience - free retribution for lisa’s suffering via her pact with the female - formed devil . a burning phone , maniacs with axes , flesh - eating fun , some rack torture . it’s here ( albeit briefly ) , yet none of it works particularly well . the manson syndrome barely figures too .

unfortunately , bonham carter has said that much of the jiu - jitsu in suffragette had to be cut due to story considerations . however , garrud & apos ; s fighting spirit definitely remains part of the film & apos ; s dna .
largely derided among viewers for aussie lazenby ' s wooden performance in the wake of sean connery ' s retirement , the film has since been reappraised for its mod - leanings , new wave - esque aesthetics , and that tragically affecting ending .
one target of suffragette ire was chancellor of the exchequer david lloyd george , another real - life character who appears in the film . in february 1913 , suffragettes bombed an empty house that was being built for lloyd george ; suffragette shows this attack .
not french but austrian , in fact , writer / director patric chiha’s primary motivation was to film la dalle . the film is less a young man’s rite of passage than the exposure of cracks in a tough , hurting , older woman . the role is one of those magnificently intense , suffering , emotional ones that necessarily conjure the spectres of davis and crawford . dalle is predictably terrific , with her aged , goblin , jolie - laideur , and that exquisitely french sense of noble , justified world - weariness .
“whistles , cheering and yells of ' great job ! ' and ' bravo ! ' could be heard , and at the tail end of the film ' s six - minute standing ovation , a chant carried throughout the orchestra up to the balcony . ”
the distracted person , too , can form habits . more , the ability to master certain tasks in a state of distraction proves that their solution has become a matter of habit . distraction as provided by art presents a covert control of the extent to which new tasks have become soluble by apperception . since , moreover , individuals are tempted to avoid such tasks , art will tackle the most difficult and most important ones where it is able to mobilize the masses . today it does so in the film . reception in a state of distraction , which is increasing noticeably in all fields of art and is symptomatic of profound changes in apperception , finds in the film its true means of exercise . the film with its shock effect meets this mode of reception halfway . the film makes the cult value recede into the background not only by putting the public in the position of the critic , but also by the fact that at the movies this position requires no attention . the public is an examiner , but an absent - minded one .
following on from last year ' s surprise releases of 10 cloverfield lane and blair witch , a24 - the studio behind independent hits swiss army man and american honey - has dropped a mysterious trailer for a brand new sci - fi film that nobody knows anything about .
in suffragette , helena bonham carter portrays pharmacist and bomb maker edith ellyn . unlike other characters in the film , ellyn has a husband who also wants women to get the vote . one real - life couple who both supported female suffrage were barbara ayrton gould and her husband gerald .
midnight madness is a popular tiff strand in which films - usually from the horror genre - are shown to a rowdier crowd in the early hours . this year ' s strand has included eminem - produced battle rap film bodied as well as nicolas cage ' s mom and dad .
produced by cleopatra films , the film features songs by iggy pop , 3teeth , luna 13 , onyx , dmx , missing persons and , as the poster above attests , ‘steve severin of the cure’ ( despite him being a long - standing member of siouxsie and the banshees ( ahem ) .
dalle’s performance as nadia is undoubtedly captivating , but the intensity of her glare often borders on malice in a way that seems unintentional . in fact , all the characters spend most of the film cloaked in such serious introspection that the absence of any lightness or nuance begins to feel heavy and dull .
in early 20th century britain , the cause of female suffrage was usually ignored by the press and dismissed by politicians . to gain support for their right to vote , suffragettes turned away from peaceful protest and embraced militant tactics that grew to include window breaking and arson . their fight for equality , which escalated in violence in 1912 and 1913 , is depicted in the new film suffragette . the movie also shows historical figures and fictional characters interacting as they struggle to get women the vote . here are six real - life suffragettes ( plus one man ) who either appear in suffragette or whose stories are reflected in the film .
for the film , what matters primarily is that the actor represents himself to the public before the camera , rather than representing someone else . one of the first to sense the actor’s metamorphosis by this form of testing was pirandello . though his remarks on the subject in his novel si gira were limited to the negative aspects of the question and to the silent film only , this hardly impairs their validity . for in this respect , the sound film did not change anything essential . what matters is that the part is acted not for an audience but for a mechanical contrivance – in the case of the sound film , for two of them . “the film actor , ” wrote pirandello , “feels as if in exile – exiled not only from the stage but also from himself . with a vague sense of discomfort he feels inexplicable emptiness : his body loses its corporeality , it evaporates , it is deprived of reality , life , voice , and the noises caused by his moving about , in order to be changed into a mute image , flickering an instant on the screen , then vanishing into silence . . . . the projector will play with his shadow before the public , and he himself must be content to play before the camera . ” this situation might also be characterized as follows : for the first time – and this is the effect of the film – man has to operate with his whole living person , yet forgoing its aura . for aura is tied to his presence ; there can be no replica of it . the aura which , on the stage , emanates from macbeth , cannot be separated for the spectators from that of the actor . however , the singularity of the shot in the studio is that the camera is substituted for the public . consequently , the aura that envelops the actor vanishes , and with it the aura of the figure he portrays .
the real - life character of emmeline pankhurst , portrayed by meryl streep , appears in suffragette . though pankhurst is seen on screen for just a few minutes , she & apos ; s a symbol of inspiration for many of the film & apos ; s characters — just as pankhurst inspired suffragettes in real life .
the novel ' s 1969 film adaptation saw bond ( george lazenby ) driving off to settle down with tracy ( diana rigg ) , only to have her die in a hail of bullets from foe blofeld ( telly savalas ) , as louis armstrong ' s brutally ironic we have all the time in the world plays .
penned by robert wade and neal purvis – the screenwriters on all of craig ' s bond films to date , from casino royale to spectre – the film is set to open with a newly retired bond in
wedded bliss
with dr madeleine swann ( lea seydoux ) , his love interest at the end of spectre .
after a deadly flu epidemic kills most of the world’s population , lucky survivors bide their time in hermetically sealed bunkers located 30 feet underground , where they can interact with select others only by sophisticated video conferencing . things start to go haywire in this stable environment after a combative denizen named orlando is banned from his linked community . residents start disappearing or harming themselves , and odd markers ( such as a rat ) hint that these pods aren’t as closed - off as they seem . however , it isn’t until phoenix and denver ( who , improbably , have fallen for each other ) decide to make a run for it that domain’s true mysteries start to reveal themselves . the subsequent unraveling of their situation only creates more questions of what their reality is . suspense - filled and atmospheric—courtesy of an eerie score and a muted color palette—domain raises questions about how well we can really know other people . as the bunker designer nadine puts it at one point : “never underestimate humanity’s capacity to be punitive . ” —a . z .
plot : thirty years after the events of the first film , a new blade runner , lapd officer k , unearths a long - buried secret that has the potential to plunge what ' s left of society into chaos . k ' s discovery leads him on a quest to find rick deckard , a former lapd blade runner who has been missing for 30 years .
still , the film has its sporadic pleasures , mostly provided by bella , who effectively conveys destiny’s enjoyment of her over - the - top murderous and sexy antics , and michael madsen , as lisa’s supportive stepdad . the veteran actor delivers a nicely low - key performance , but you can’t avoid the feeling that he’s merely cashing a paycheck while waiting for quentin tarantino to write him another great role .
the artistic performance of a stage actor is definitely presented to the public by the actor in person ; that of the screen actor , however , is presented by a camera , with a twofold consequence . the camera that presents the performance of the film actor to the public need not respect the performance as an integral whole . guided by the cameraman , the camera continually changes its position with respect to the performance . the sequence of positional views which the editor composes from the material supplied him constitutes the completed film . it comprises certain factors of movement which are in reality those of the camera , not to mention special camera angles , close - ups , etc . hence , the performance of the actor is subjected to a series of optical tests . this is the first consequence of the fact that the actor’s performance is presented by means of a camera . also , the film actor lacks the opportunity of the stage actor to adjust to the audience during his performance , since he does not present his performance to the audience in person . this permits the audience to take the position of a critic , without experiencing any personal contact with the actor . the audience’s identification with the actor is really an identification with the camera . consequently the audience takes the position of the camera ; its approach is that of testing . this is not the approach to which cult values may be exposed .
avid s6 - the latest in high - end control surface technology and our most recent acquisition . the studio is configured as a state - of - the - art multi - purpose setup for 5 . 1 surround sound film mixing , music production and mastering , housing some of the best hardware and software that money can buy . this facility is one of the favourites among our senior bachelor of audio students who often spend hours in the studio perfecting their craft .
around 1900 technical reproduction had reached a standard that not only permitted it to reproduce all transmitted works of art and thus to cause the most profound change in their impact upon the public ; it also had captured a place of its own among the artistic processes . for the study of this standard nothing is more revealing than the nature of the repercussions that these two different manifestations – the reproduction of works of art and the art of the film – have had on art in its traditional form .
as reported by jurassic outpost , nbcuniversal purchased three new web domains on dec . 15 , 2016 . all three domains offer subtle hints at the premise of jurassic world 2 with their names alone : urltoken ( and . org ) , and islanublarrescuemission . com . the former strongly alludes to the presence of some form of “dinosaurs’ rights” group as part of the film , while the latter is a reference to isla nublar , the home of the theme parks depicted in both jurassic world and the original jurassic park .
an outburst of some kind is missed , then , but chiha’s constraint is appropriate to the metaphysical straitjacket this fiercely intelligent woman feels herself to be in , and to her somewhat mute nephew . a deliberate deceleration of pace is carried over even into the black - hole nightclub we repeatedly revisit , where the broiling sea of dancers is mesmerically slowed - down . the pain of the film’s emotional revelations and disappointments is never absent , however , most clearly expressed in the muted desperation of nadia’s fellow residents at an alpine sanatorium .
it’s quite forgivable , therefore , to hope for a dalle explosion – it’s part of her stardom – but chiha’s tone is set by the slightly melancholy , night - time riverside campfire . expression of emotion is subtle and deliberate , the film’s rhythm an almost narcotized blur . episodes repeat themselves in a steady accretion of character , as pierre and nadia walk around paris a lot . for all the frequent moments of apparent inaction , however , the characters are never doing nothing . both dalle and isaïe sultan amply inhabit these moments when chiha allows them ( not so ) simply to be .
the shooting of a film , especially of a sound film , affords a spectacle unimaginable anywhere at any time before this . it presents a process in which it is impossible to assign to a spectator a viewpoint which would exclude from the actual scene such extraneous accessories as camera equipment , lighting machinery , staff assistants , etc . – unless his eye were on a line parallel with the lens . this circumstance , more than any other , renders superficial and insignificant any possible similarity between a scene in the studio and one on the stage . in the theater one is well aware of the place from which the play cannot immediately be detected as illusionary . there is no such place for the movie scene that is being shot . its illusionary nature is that of the second degree , the result of cutting . that is to say , in the studio the mechanical equipment has penetrated so deeply into reality that its pure aspect freed from the foreign substance of equipment is the result of a special procedure , namely , the shooting by the specially adjusted camera and the mounting of the shot together with other similar ones . the equipment - free aspect of reality here has become the height of artifice ; the sight of immediate reality has become an orchid in the land of technology .
the question remains whether it provides a platform for the analysis of the film . a closer look is needed here . distraction and concentration form polar opposites which may be stated as follows : a man who concentrates before a work of art is absorbed by it . he enters into this work of art the way legend tells of the chinese painter when he viewed his finished painting . in contrast , the distracted mass absorbs the work of art . this is most obvious with regard to buildings . architecture has always represented the prototype of a work of art the reception of which is consummated by a collectivity in a state of distraction . the laws of its reception are most instructive .
magician and surgeon compare to painter and cameraman . the painter maintains in his work a natural distance from reality , the cameraman penetrates deeply into its web . there is a tremendous difference between the pictures they obtain . that of the painter is a total one , that of the cameraman consists of multiple fragments which are assembled under a new law . thus , for contemporary man the representation of reality by the film is incomparably more significant than that of the painter , since it offers , precisely because of the thoroughgoing permeation of reality with mechanical equipment , an aspect of reality which is free of all equipment . and that is what one is entitled to ask from a work of art .
one of the foremost tasks of art has always been the creation of a demand which could be fully satisfied only later . the history of every art form shows critical epochs in which a certain art form aspires to effects which could be fully obtained only with a changed technical standard , that is to say , in a new art form . the extravagances and crudities of art which thus appear , particularly in the so - called decadent epochs , actually arise from the nucleus of its richest historical energies . in recent years , such barbarisms were abundant in dadaism . it is only now that its impulse becomes discernible : dadaism attempted to create by pictorial – and literary – means the effects which the public today seeks in the film .
nadia’s relationship with pierre is therefore made obscure and complex . furthermore , she professes a fundamental mistrust of words , and her sometimes - contorted forms of communication are symptomatic of a turning in on oneself , a somewhat frightened self - isolation . pierre meanwhile becomes his own man as it were , taking center stage in his life and in the nightclub , in a sequence that drifts charmingly away from reality . other sequences are piqued by the strange wanderings of background extras , and a dark fairytale notion of being lost in the woods builds as the film’s central metaphor . chiha is unafraid to sink his actors into a soft , dusky murk of underlighting , and the steady understatement builds to a climax of unexpected , sinister cruelty , and literal obscurity . quiet , careful , and rather beguiling .
with the different methods of technical reproduction of a work of art , its fitness for exhibition increased to such an extent that the quantitative shift between its two poles turned into a qualitative transformation of its nature . this is comparable to the situation of the work of art in prehistoric times when , by the absolute emphasis on its cult value , it was , first and foremost , an instrument of magic . only later did it come to be recognized as a work of art . in the same way today , by the absolute emphasis on its exhibition value the work of art becomes a creation with entirely new functions , among which the one we are conscious of , the artistic function , later may be recognized as incidental . this much is certain : today photography and the film are the most serviceable exemplifications of this new function .
it is inherent in the technique of the film as well as that of sports that everybody who witnesses its accomplishments is somewhat of an expert . this is obvious to anyone listening to a group of newspaper boys leaning on their bicycles and discussing the outcome of a bicycle race . it is not for nothing that newspaper publishers arrange races for their delivery boys . these arouse great interest among the participants , for the victor has an opportunity to rise from delivery boy to professional racer . similarly , the newsreel offers everyone the opportunity to rise from passer - by to movie extra . in this way any man might even find himself part of a work of art , as witness vertov’s three songs about lenin or ivens’ borinage . any man today can lay claim to being filmed . this claim can best be elucidated by a comparative look at the historical situation of contemporary literature .
as a mathematician , the beauty of order guides nadia’s life , and its absence frightens her . but the rigidity she seeks in the world is belied by a personal life that is anything but stable . her persistent drinking , at first limited to evenings , turns out to be destructive alcoholism , which pierre comes to understand , then pity , then revile . her musings begin to sound like drunken rants in the light of her uncontrollable and unattractive addiction , and pierre pushes away , accepting the long ignored attention of his peers and embarking on a surprising , love affair with a man , which he neither trumpets nor conceals . however , his turn of heart from love to contempt for his beloved aunt is quick and exaggerated . it leads to a cruel and unexpected ending , which gives the film its first and last infusion of plot - driven drama , but it doesn’t feel warranted against the monotonous landscape of everything that came before it .
by close - ups of the things around us , by focusing on hidden details of familiar objects , by exploring common place milieus under the ingenious guidance of the camera , the film , on the one hand , extends our comprehension of the necessities which rule our lives ; on the other hand , it manages to assure us of an immense and unexpected field of action . our taverns and our metropolitan streets , our offices and furnished rooms , our railroad stations and our factories appeared to have us locked up hopelessly . then came the film and burst this prison - world asunder by the dynamite of the tenth of a second , so that now , in the midst of its far - flung ruins and debris , we calmly and adventurously go traveling . with the close - up , space expands ; with slow motion , movement is extended . the enlargement of a snapshot does not simply render more precise what in any case was visible , though unclear : it reveals entirely new structural formations of the subject . so , too , slow motion not only presents familiar qualities of movement but reveals in them entirely unknown ones “which , far from looking like retarded rapid movements , give the effect of singularly gliding , floating , supernatural motions . ” evidently a different nature opens itself to the camera than opens to the naked eye – if only because an unconsciously penetrated space is substituted for a space consciously explored by man . even if one has a general knowledge of the way people walk , one knows nothing of a person’s posture during the fractional second of a stride . the act of reaching for a lighter or a spoon is familiar routine , yet we hardly know what really goes on between hand and metal , not to mention how this fluctuates with our moods . here the camera intervenes with the resources of its lowerings and liftings , its interruptions and isolations , it extensions and accelerations , its enlargements and reductions . the camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses .
painting simply is in no position to present an object for simultaneous collective experience , as it was possible for architecture at all times , for the epic poem in the past , and for the movie today . although this circumstance in itself should not lead one to conclusions about the social role of painting , it does constitute a serious threat as soon as painting , under special conditions and , as it were , against its nature , is confronted directly by the masses . in the churches and monasteries of the middle ages and at the princely courts up to the end of the eighteenth century , a collective reception of paintings did not occur simultaneously , but by graduated and hierarchized mediation . the change that has come about is an expression of the particular conflict in which painting was implicated by the mechanical reproducibility of paintings . although paintings began to be publicly exhibited in galleries and salons , there was no way for the masses to organize and control themselves in their reception . thus the same public which responds in a progressive manner toward a grotesque film is bound to respond in a reactionary manner to surrealism .
mechanical reproduction of art changes the reaction of the masses toward art . the reactionary attitude toward a picasso painting changes into the progressive reaction toward a chaplin movie . the progressive reaction is characterized by the direct , intimate fusion of visual and emotional enjoyment with the orientation of the expert . such fusion is of great social significance . the greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form , the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public . the conventional is uncritically enjoyed , and the truly new is criticized with aversion . with regard to the screen , the critical and the receptive attitudes of the public coincide . the decisive reason for this is that individual reactions are predetermined by the mass audience response they are about to produce , and this is nowhere more pronounced than in the film . the moment these responses become manifest they control each other . again , the comparison with painting is fruitful . a painting has always had an excellent chance to be viewed by one person or by a few . the simultaneous contemplation of paintings by a large public , such as developed in the nineteenth century , is an early symptom of the crisis of painting , a crisis which was by no means occasioned exclusively by photography but rather in a relatively independent manner by the appeal of art works to the masses .

nadia moves with quick and restless precision , taking her frequent afternoon walks in heels and at a fast clip . she either falls into a brief , intense silence or bursts into sudden sermons on life , philosophy , and mathematics—anything weighty with its own importance . rather than spend time with kids his own age , pierre rings her door after school for their daily promenades . he’s mesmerized and hangs on her words in that very french style of quiet , expressionless acknowledgment . nadia interprets this as insight , and the two become inseparable , falling into a strange relationship somewhere between friendship and attraction . she cuts a strong , self - processed figure in contrast to her sister , pierre’s mother , whose brief appearance suggests a meek and ordinary woman . but pierre also tends to nadia like a child or eager servant , choosing her clothes , washing her feet—enjoying her brief moments of vulnerably .

it all sounds pretty french : teenage boy falls in love with his older aunt , attractive , smart , and been around the block a few times , as incarnated to perfection by béatrice dalle . the expected dynamic is subverted , however , even obliquely in the opening scene , and the well - worn elements of such a relationship are treated as though anew , with little interest in misplaced teenage priapism .
it’s established swiftly that nadia’s milieu is one of sophisticated , intellectual bohemianism . she is a rather tortured mathematics professor ; pierre is not yet old enough to buy cigarettes . more teasingly established , although he dotes on her as a willing peon , he may not be quite the typical moony teenage boy , with a sexual interest directed elsewhere than his aunt .

boat people is an essay film that explores this question . taking as its starting point the historic version of britain as an island and seafaring nation the film counterpoints the surety of this assertion of identity with the contingency of movement . this movement isn’t only human . boat people is also a questioning of the role the moving image itself plays in the representation of human movement and the migration of ideas . just as the invention of the telescopic lens brought near and far together for the very first time , boat people is about the way in the twenty - first century the near and far are mediated and transformed by the new ‘perception accelerator’ , the digital image .

so i ' m not damning the country forever . it ' s just that i am trying to explain this particular phenomenon of the boat people and their fleeing from the country , and to make people understand why they flee . and that has the immediate effect of making the hong kong people much more sympathetic . so it ' s a positive film rather than a negative . negative is the very last thing i want .

miss hui ' s film , which is being shown tonight and tomorrow night at the new york film festival , is certainly powerful . but it could hardly be confused with either a political tract or a documentary . the central character of ' ' boat people ' ' is a japanese photojournalist named akutagawa ( lam ) , who is on a lengthy return visit to vietnam under the watchful eye of a woman guide from the cultural bureau .

it makes me wonder how it will wrap up . do they focus on the saga of the boat people or the reeducation camps ? really , to understand the war , you need to understand the before and after . the post - war is what our people are still dealing with .
the rest of the film gives the lie to this sunny image ; before it ' s over , the journalist has even returned furtively to the same zone and found the same children sleeping naked in appallingly overcrowded barracks . miss hui , who is from hong kong , made ' ' boat people ' ' with the cooperation of the chinese government and shot it on hainan island . the film ' s view of life in communist vietnam is unremittingly and , given the chinese government ' s emnity to the vietnamese , not unexpectedly harsh . and yet ' ' boat people ' ' isn ' t as controversial as might be expected , since its criticism is very much in the service of its clear and simple dramatic needs .

the ancient one as presented in the doctor strange comics is traditionally portrayed as an asian man . but for the film adaptation , swinton was cast in the role , which was changed along with her involvement . “anybody calling for more accurate representation of the diverse world we live in has got me standing right beside them , ” swinton told ew in 2016 before the film’s release . “i think when people see this film , they’re going to see that it comes from a very diverse place , in all sorts of ways . maybe this misunderstanding around this film has been an opportunity for that voice to be heard , and i’m not against that at all . but i do think that when people see the film , they’ll see that it’s not necessarily a target for that voice . ”

there might be an expectation that people who have been serving the status quo will find ways to frustrate that interest . we found the exact opposite . it ' s in the nature of things like this that the people who get public credit for this are the elected ministers , but the people who made this happen were public servants . these were people who were much more familiar with the nature of the red - tape obstacles than the ministers could be . their instinct was to find ways to solve them , and they did .

the subject of ann hui ' s ' ' boat people ' ' would not seem to lend itself to ordinary movie - making tactics , since the film depicts the horrendous living conditions to be found in the northern part of vietnam in 1978 , three years after the war ended . however , miss hui brings a conventional - and for the most part highly effective - storytelling talent to bear upon this material . she ' s able to create both sensationalism and drama , even if her film never generates an air of realism , or frees itself from coincidence and cliche .

the pre - production for the film took three years , what with building a boat and a camp that would house a thousand extras plus the crew . plenty of injuries were incurred in the name of art : herzog’s cinematographer , filming on board the steamboat , had his hand cut open ( and it had to be stitched up without anesthesia ) . another crew member was bitten by a venomous snake , and then cut off his own foot with a chainsaw in order to avoid cardiac arrest . but in the end , the boat made its way successfully over the mountain , and herzog captured it all on film—challenging the basic laws of nature , and triumphing .

showed a young vietnam refugee who leaves a camp in hong kong to go to america , only to be trapped on the way in the philippines . because the film is very adventurous , very melodramatic , and uses american b - movie visual styles and techniques , people wouldn ' t take it seriously as a social comment . but if you look at the film ' s story , the message is very clear . this man woo
publicity surrounding the case spelled disaster for the queensland dive industry . nearly 50 , 000 people work in queensland ' s barrier reef tourist trade , which is worth a $ 4 . 3bn and hosts nearly 4m day trips every year . high - profile horror stories could irrevocably taint the image of local operators . worse still , this had not been simply an unavoidable accident . dive boat crews are meant to count every diver into and out of the water and then carry out a further count when the boat leaves the dive site , but somehow the lonergans had slipped through the net .
the netflix film adaptation of the popular japanese manga was criticized for whitewashing the story ( nat wolff plays the film’s lead , a character who is japanese in the source material ) . but producers argued shifting the story to seattle turned it into an american story .
an adventurous young girl sets out with a demi - god to solve the mystery of her people in moana , the upcoming film from disney animation . it sounds like a simple story , but as directors ron clements and john musker can tell you , putting it on - screen is anything but simple .
he boy next to me fell to the floor and for a moment i didn’t know if he had fainted or was dead – then i saw that he was covering his eyes so he didn’t have to see the waves any more . a pregnant woman vomited and started screaming . below deck , people were shouting that they couldn’t breathe , so the men in charge of the boat went down and started beating them . by the time we saw a rescue helicopter , two days after our boat had left libya with 250 passengers on board , some people were already dead – flung into the sea by the waves , or suffocated downstairs in the dark . it’s very difficult for me to think about this , nearly four years after i paid a smuggler to get me out of
to his people , saying that he finds the economy unbearable and that the state of corruption must be revised . and so by admitting it , he means it might change .
you know , america still has not recovered from the vietnam war . the divisions that existed then still make many people suffer today . but we ' ve reached a point where we can gain from their wisdom ,
he said of the people who experienced the conflict firsthand .
you combine that wisdom with emotion , with scholarly work .
les amants ( the lovers ) 1958 . it was not so much the graphic portrayal of sex in this malle classic , since the film only shows a glimpse of the protagonist ' s naked breast , but rather its celebration of adulterous liaisons . ohio enforced an obscenity law to ban the film , but in 1968 the supreme court reversed the obscenity conviction of the ohio theater that exhibited the film .
bonnie and clyde , 1967 . this film , released shortly after the end of the hays code , was notable for its portrayal of graphic violence . critics and the general public were concerned that the film glamorized violence because the main characters were highly engaging and likeable .
the first day of filming , clint eastwood boarded my boat . he knew my name . i guess as a joke he called me coach lombardi . i put my hand out and said , “gunny highway . ”
the boat continues upriver , only to meet another surprise attack . primitive natives onshore shoot a storm of arrows at the pbr . chief is impaled with a spear and dies . with two men gone , the survivors at last reach kurtz’s camp , a macabre site in which countless dead bodies and severed heads are strewn about seemingly at random . a hyperactive american photojournalist , unabashed in his worship of kurtz , greets the boat .
a lot of people say , “oh , is it going to bring bad memories ? ” not at all . the best memory i got is that i’m alive to see it .
there is a scene in it follows where jay drives to the sea and looks at 3 men in a boat . she enters the water and , in the next scene , is crying as she drives home . i assumed she had swum out and had a sexual encounter with them but the rest of the film would imply this is not the case .
and you’ve said eamon’s rabbits in the film came right out of real life . the actual eamon you knew as a teenager kept rabbits .
1969 midnight cowboy wins three academy awards . it is the first and only x - rated film to receive an oscar for best picture .
carnal knowledge , 1971 . although the film explored highly nuanced themes and characters , the censors were blinded by the titillating title and suggestion of sex . in 1972 , the film was seized and a theater manager was arrested in georgia . the supreme court eventually overturned the conviction .
i think it’s lazy journalism . but i’m completely okay with it ! i think it’s obvious that i think it’s very tiresome . it’s an easy way to make copy , to say ,
it’s not as good as his first film ,
or compare it to my first film . i think people thought i was an amateur when i made once , because it looks so amateurish . that they were delighted with the idea that someone made something on a camcorder . that’s not the real story . i’d been making film for 10 years before then . i’d been making tv professionally for four years .
in fact , says this crew member , the maersk veered off course by 180 degrees south — this was during the first attack , on april 8 . phillips denies this , and says the boat only picked up speed .
i could see sing street happening in that sense , but that’s academic until it does well at the box office as a film . i think it has to be something before it’s a play . but i would love to do that . i don’t think that would have worked on begin again , even though people wanted it .
i think it sounds very practical — you walk across the desert and get on a boat ,
carpignano said .
but most people in europe or the u . s . don ' t think about the nuances . you think , ' well , yeah , there ' s a lot of sand and it ' s uncomfortable . ' and that doesn ' t really describe what they go through .
it wasn ' t very therapeutic making the film because it meant reliving all that had happened ,
seihon said in an interview tuesday night via a translator , noting that he had been told he had to pilot the boat on the crossing despite having no experience in that department .
but i want people to understand the frustrations we had , and still have in europe - - how african women are mistreated , how we ' re not given the paperwork to allow us to have jobs , how we ' re kicked out of our homes .

damon plays one of the heroes in the china - set film , a casting choice that was slammed as perpetuating the white - savior myth . “we have to stop perpetuating the racist myth that [ only a ] white man can save the world , ” fresh off the boat star constance wu wrote in a widely circulated tweet . “our heroes don’t look like matt damon . ”
of course she had sex with at least two of the guys on the boat because the evil often times shows up as the prior victims stalking the
passed to
person . so in the pool scene you see one guy throwing the tv at the pool that is one of the guys on the boat . the scene before it when they drive away to the big swimming gym , there is an old guy standing on top of the house , and he is another guy from that boat . . . hope this helps . i mean obviously you recognize the girl who died at the beginning of the movie shows up as one of the evil possessed walker in the middle of the movie .
1961 in times film corp . v . chicago , the supreme court says that chicago ' s licensing scheme , which required film exhibitors to submit films for police review before screening , is not a prior restraint on speech , leaving courts to rule in individual cases whether the result is constitutional .

all is lost was shot on three 1978 cal 39 sailboats purchased from their owners in southern california . these three boats generously gave themselves up for art : tahoe , tenacious , and orion . they took their final sails in the pacific ocean and performed beautifully in the film as our mans ' s boat , the virginia jean . rest in peace .
i’m one of several hundred thousand people who , since the arab uprisings of 2011 , have arrived in europe across the mediterranean . it is now the deadliest border in the world . we all have different reasons for doing it : some people think they’ll find a better life in europe , others just want to get away from a war zone . but everyone feels they have no other option .
another example is the british destroyer seen in the film . functional destroyers are hard to come by , and the one used on location is french .
“i’m not a migration expert , ” he sighs , settling for a table two metres from the sunbather . “i want to talk about film . ”
“anybody who is familiar with the history of the pacific islanders in film , there’s cause for worry , ” said dionne fonoti , an anthropologist and filmmaker from samoa who was part of the trust . even the film’s young star , auli’i cravalho , a hawaiian teenager making her film debut , admitted that she wasn’t so starstruck by disney’s interest to approach moana without concerns . “i was wary , ” she admits . “i think that everyone can say they might be a little afraid of it , because when we have a film that is inspired by a culture we want to feel good about it . ”
“no , it’s probably not , ” he replies . “but there’s so many types of documentary . documentary has so many different elements . but for me the word documentary is important because it starts with reality – and reality is my main source of telling the story . i don’t change that , i stick to that , i don’t make people interact with other people that they don’t in real life . ”

was given a choice between screening it in the directors fortnight or as the film surprise . in either case publicity was to be kept to a minimum .
told me .
in the real story the boat was sunk . what happened was that the vietnamese had two patrol boats which fired into the hull of the refugee boat and then went around and around it , until they created a great whirlpool , so that the whole boat was sunk . it was in all the newspapers in hong kong at the time . but we couldn ' t shoot the whirlpool , because technically it was impossible for us . it ' s a pity , because it would have been a much more impressive scene . but we kept the real point of the incident , which is that vietnamese officers deliberately ' set up ' escape attempts – pocketing the bribes beforehand , of course – and then ambushed the boats .
i wish they had , in a way . i’m sorry ! but there is a side of me that wishes they had . given the difficulty of people who are making journeys , and end up dying .
when the ship set off , we were worried about the engines breaking down , but we soon realised the biggest problem was the waves . the boat wasn’t built for the journey and it was flipped up every time a big wave hit . all i could do was say my last prayer – i felt like i was dead already . this was in 2011 , but now there are many more people camped on the libyan coast , waiting for their turn .
despite increased critical attention in recent years , birt acres remains a comparatively neglected figure among the pioneers of british film . as a creative film - maker his contribution was negligible , but as an inventor and innovator , and simply as someone who was especially active at the start of things , his importance is certain .
if you love this planet , 1982 . this canadian documentary on the medical and social effects of nuclear war triggered concern because it interspersed short clips from ronald reagan movies . after the u . s . justice department labeled the film
political propaganda ,
the film gained notoriety , eventually leading to an oscar for best short documentary for director terri nash . in her acceptance speech , she thanked the u . s . government for so effectively
advertising
her film .
you said the family in the film was completely unlike yours , and i wanted to talk about them a bit . people keep comparing sing street to the commitments , partly because it’s about a band in dublin , but also partly because you cast maria doyle kennedy as conor’s mother . i’m curious how that came about . how you decided you wanted to do that .
1915 the naacp and others protest against birth of a nation , d . w . griffith ' s film about the civil war and reconstruction , which incites riots in ohio , massachusetts , pennsylvania , and colorado . it will become the most banned film in u . s . history because of its controversial racial content .
perhaps in an effort to protect its relationship with thailand , where the film was shot ,
no escape
trashes cambodia , which subsequently banned the movie .
i think jack reynor [ who plays conor’s brother brendan in the film ] liked her for the role , and i listened . when i’m talking to actors in my films , and they’re like ,
what about this ? what about this ?
i like to listen to them as they connect to their characters , and to the film . she was on a list , and i knew her through friends , but there was no nod to the commitments in casting her in the film . someone even said the other day that there are rabbits in my film , and the main character in the commitments is called jimmy rabbitte . well , okay…
it’s made for hollywood : the story of an average american family man , captain of a cargo ship in dangerous waters , his vessel overtaken by armed somali pirates demanding ransom , saving his crew by allowing himself to be removed from the boat and taken hostage .
at 3 a . m . , the pirates radioed the boat to stop ; phillips had left the stern light on and the bridge open . at 7 a . m . , came the third and final attack : four armed somali pirates stormed the maersk .
but fire at sea is attracting fiercer attention than rosi’s earlier efforts . not just because it won the top prize at the berlin film festival in february , and is currently frontrunner for the best documentary oscar next year , but on account of the scenes in between the mundane and the domestic . first is pietro , the island’s doctor , who alternates checkups for locals such as samuele with emergency care for the migrants passing through . late in the movie , rosi shows the rescue of a stricken smugglers’ boat , way to the south of lampedusa . there are perhaps 500 teetering on its deck , or crammed below – and some 50 have already suffocated to death . in the film’s most shocking and surreal scene , italian rescuers – dressed in white jumpsuits , and looking like spacemen – drag from the boat the limp and sometimes lifeless bodies of african passengers .

nguyen said that if the film had been screened on bolsa avenue , the main drag of orange county ' s little saigon , the reaction might have been different .
while working on the infamous film “fitzcarraldo , ” herzog demanded that a real ship be pulled over a real mountain in the jungle ( as the script called for ) , and refused to shoot the sequence in a studio with special effects . fitzcarraldo , the protagonist of this film ( played by klaus kinski ) , is driven by his love of music , concocting a grand plan that seems bound to fail : building an opera house in the jungle , and thus bringing the power of caruso , verdi and wagner to the ignorant natives . in order to raise money and construct his opera house , fitzcarraldo takes a ship up a tributary and , with the help of a thousand natives , pulls this boat over a mountain and into a parallel river . typically , enormous sea vessels are not meant to be dragged over mountains . twentieth century fox was originally interested in producing the film , but they wanted herzog to use a model boat and a model mountain — and herzog , unsurprisingly , was unwilling to make such compromises .
