come what may
is . . . too pretty of a movie . it is often sentimental and , worse , schematic .
come what may is a highly imperfect film . however , it is one which draws attention to an overlooked consequence of war without becoming too graphic . despite its’ flaws , the film is one i recommend .
come what may has its share of suspenseful and touching moments , while reminding viewers of the hardships faced by refugees of war , then and now .
if you ever wanted to see a wartime movie that feels directed by a kinder , gentler michael bay , come what may is right up your alley .

come what may
is a paint - by - numbers account of a real - life world war ii event , the displacement of eight million people from their homes in france .
the other focus of come what may is the exodus and journey of a small community hoping to survive in a time of great threat and uncertainty . each family must make the decision to stay or go , what to take and what to leave behind , knowing there may be nothing to return to . in essence , the villagers are a family albeit a much larger one .

“come what may” takes place in 1940 . to escape the imminent german invasion , the inhabitants of a small village in northern france flee their homes , like so many millions of their . . .
a wartime drama that’s more about the retreat than the offensive , christian carion’s come what may ( en mai , fais ce qu’il te plait ) depicts a few of the many lives upended when germany attacked france in may 1940 , forcing 8 million citizens to flee the invading nazi army in what would become one of the greatest population exoduses in modern history .
come what may is not a typical , action - filled war movie . instead , writer / director christian carion presents the audience with a refreshing drama that intimately details characters ' lives at the start of the german invasion .
come what may does not dig deep enough into these sacrifices and losses . but it does touch on them enough to make the viewer aware of them . if the film doesn’t do enough to draw attention to this tragedy than the real - life photos at the beginning and end of it will . what this movie may lack in emotional connection is more than made up for when looking at pictures of actual people caught in personal moments of survival .
the movie was originally scheduled for release in december 2014 , with the third film arriving in december 2015 , which of course also didn ' t happen . after the fourth film was added to the plans , they were pushed back to december 2016 , 2017 and 2018 releases .

a title card informs us that “the german offensive of may 10 , 1940 drove almost 8 million people from their homes [ in france ] , one of the largest displacements of people in the 20 th century . ” carion bookends the film with actual footage of these people leaving their homes . not once does the recreated footage in “come what may” come close to the power of these brief images ; mere seconds of the documentary footage have a compelling realism that lingers longer than anything in the 117 minutes i spent with the fictional characters .

life doesn ' t come with trigger warnings . why should books ? | lori horvitz | opinion | the guardian
come what may is a unique film . there have been many movies made about war and wwii , but few if any tackle the subjects of voluntary evacuation . according to the opening credits , the displacement of eight million people in the early days of the war is one of the largest in history . it occurs in the days before the battle of dunkirk when the british abandoned france to germany .
france , may 1940 . millions abandon all they have . one father searches for all that matters .

that being said , i am still glad i watched come what may . as i mentioned , the cinematography makes this film a pleasure to watch in spite of its’ somber topic . the score is gorgeous , haunting and fitting as composed by the great ennio morricone . ( side note : i squealed with joy over the composer when i remembered his name being mentioned by jack black’s character in the holiday ! )
come what may also highlights little moments not often seen in war films . there is the side story of a german propaganda film crew . the humanization of certain german soldiers who face death proves that in the moments between life and death the line between us and them dissolves . instead , we are no longer enemies . we are simply human beings with a mixture of both good and evil in us all .
closing - credits photographs of wwii french refugees fleeing nazi forces are the most poignant element of “come what may , ” whose fictional saga about townsfolk forced to abandon their homes , and two disparate men’s attempts to reunite with them , is a respectable but dully melodramatic affair . director christian carion’s first feature since 2009’s “farewell” is bolstered by [ … ]
while bloodied corpses and vile racism are a recurring presence throughout “come what may , ” the film is too schmaltzy to do more than feign putting its protagonists in real jeopardy , thereby neutering any true aura of danger . even a german aerial attack on the refugees ends only with anonymous background players meeting their maker — a development that leaves the story feeling as phony as the terrible cgi employed to create those machine - gunning aircrafts .

though primarily concerned with a heightened style of french patriotism ( one character is so enamored of his french wine that he refuses to leave his home despite the enemy bearing down on him ) , “come what may” also gives a chunk of country pride of its scottish officer and , in the film’s most intriguing scene , a bit of sympathy for the enemy courtesy of an injured german soldier . large portions of the film are in english , which i suppose was meant to add a bit more universal appeal to the proceedings .

without actually sitting in on the interview , it’s hard for me to say what’s happening . but check out these posts on interviewing .
most of “come what may” involves the characters walking for miles and miles in their caravan . occasionally , the film attempts to goose us with badly rendered scenes of cgi carnage raining down from above , courtesy of the sinister german planes that announce themselves on the soundtrack with effectively loud engine roars that shake the speakers . they sound great , but they’re not integrated into the scenes very well . additionally , they do far less carnage to the main characters than they should , keeping this film from slipping into the darkness it needs more of to dramatically succeed .
in fact , the most interesting character in “come what may” isn’t even a part of this group . he’s a scottish officer named percy ( matthew rhys ) , whose entire troop was wiped out by german gunfire moments before we meet him . rhys gives the film’s best performance , expertly working the one - dimensional nature the film gives all its characters . rhys brings the same type of charm errol flynn might have brought had this film been made on the warner brothers lot instead of in the gorgeous landscapes of france . his last scene even takes place inside a movie camera , a meta - style exit that’s a perfect end to his performance .
in come what may , the writer - director ( working with co - scribes laure irrmann and andrew bampfield ) attempts to tell a sprawling story on an intimate scale , following a handful of characters on the run from wehrmacht forces as they blaze through the ardennes en route to a quick victory ( france surrendered less than 45 days after the invasion , falling under nazi rule until december 1944 ) .
since 2004 , hollywood has been working to adapt the deborah moggach novel tulip fever , which has long been seen as a major prestige project with oscar potential . tom stoppard , the legendary british playwright , wrote the screenplay for the final iteration of the film . the movie stars three academy award winners ( alicia vikander , judi dench , and christoph waltz ) , along with up - and - coming stars like dane dehaan and cara delevingne . footage from the film was screened at the cannes film festival . . . in may 2015 . now , after untold delays , it’s coming out , packaged as “ the year’s sexiest thriller . ”

bombay velvet film noir from india . anurag kashyap directed this crime drama set during the 1960s .
come what may takes place during the early years of world war ii . in 1939 a german father and son escape to a little village in northern france . the father warns his young boy to speak only in french and never in their native tongue as they hide openly in the small village of pas - de - calais . unfortunately , hans is soon arrested and his son max is left in the care of the town’s school teacher suzanne .
with our modern news headlines always full of stories about war and the humanitarian crisis of millions of refugees , come what may is a film which helps us to consider their plight . the cost of war is not just in physical lives . the collateral damage is also enormous . communities and families are divided and devastated . a peoples’ sense of place is severed . their oral and cultural histories and memories are lost , sometimes forever . education and livelihoods are disrupted and the trauma is almost always passed on to the next generation . survival is a hollow victory .

i can see “come what may” going over like gangbusters for its intended audience , while also earning intense “oh , come on now ! ” - style eye - rolling from everyone else . i curiously find myself between both factions here , as i’ve an admitted soft spot for the kind of old - school hollywood studio system schmaltz that thickly coats this movie . much like those old dramatic features of yore ( and bay ' s wwii disaster ) you get the sense that this film doesn’t want to be that much of a downer , despite the story’s propensity to travel that route . i admit i can be persuaded to succumb to the medicine going down with one too many spoonfuls of sugar in it .

“film tax credits don’t pay for themselves , so states have to raise taxes or cut expenditures ( to make up the difference ) , tannenwald said . “those snuff out jobs as fast as film tax credits create them . ”
tulip fever was first slotted for a november 2015 release , capitalizing on vikander’s emergence as a star ( she won an oscar for the danish girl , which came out that fall ) . then it was moved to july 2016 . then february 2017 , seemingly acknowledging that the film had limited awards potential , coupled with rumors that the weinstein company , which produced the film , was lacking in funds to mount several major releases every year . just before its february release , the film was punted again , down to august , and in some strange final indignity , it was shoved to september 1 , where it will ( reportedly ) finally debut in semi - limited release .
the yes men are revolting this is the third documentary by and about andy bichlbaum and mike bonanno , the prankster activists known as the yes men . this time greenpeace , a united nations climate change conference and homeland security are involved . when the film was screened at the toronto international film festival , variety called it “about as easy a sit as they come . ” directed by the yes men and laura nix .
the effect they identified is “stronger than what current state - of - the - art climate models predict , ” said mann , likely due to the increasing influence from a melting greenland .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
it’s an impressive backdrop to what’s otherwise a polished period piece without much of a bite to it , hitting all the right notes but doing nothing that feels exciting or out of the ordinary . like last year’s similarly themed suite francaise , may stands to underperform in theaters , though its subject and setting should help push it across french borders into art houses and vod slots overseas .
louisiana residents may go gaga over mark wahlberg , kurt russell and kate hudson when they arrive in the state later this year to film a movie about the 2010 deepwater horizon oil rig explosion . but louisiana and some other states are starting to question whether they are giving up too much to attract such star power .
closing - credits photographs of wwii french refugees fleeing nazi forces are the most poignant element of “come what may , ” whose fictional saga about townsfolk forced to abandon their homes , and two disparate men’s attempts to reunite with them , is a respectable but dully melodramatic affair . director christian carion ’s first feature since 2009’s “farewell” is bolstered by a sweeping ennio morricone score , yet his narrative is too episodic , and his characters too one - dimensional , to carry the weight of grand historical tragedy , resulting in a picturesque , middle - of - the - road effort unlikely to entice anyone outside the art - house crowd .
in pennsylvania , democratic lt . gov . mike stack traded footlights for a footrace to raise awareness about what he says is too low a cap on the state’s film tax credit . the program is capped at $ 60 million a year , and democratic gov . tom wolf wants keep it at that amount . but stack , a film actor who still appears in local productions , wants to expand that as much as possible . he ran in the pittsburgh marathon to raise awareness of the credit issue .

but the story doesn ' t end there . this january , avatar 2 was delayed again , the wide assumption being that it ran scared after star wars episode 8 slipped from may to december 2017 .
zoe saldana , who will reprise the role of the na ' vi princess neytiri , had only just appeared in the star trek reboot when she starred in the 2009 original film , and thanks to projects like guardians of the galaxy , she has become the biggest new star to come out of avatar – as well as cornering the market for playing aliens of various hues .
touching story of a father ' s love for his son and his search for him during the nazi invasion of france . beautifully filmed . superb acting . violence that elucidates the brutality of that time and what the french were facing as they left their homes for what they hoped would be a safer place . the danger and struggles they encountered should be reminders of how difficult it was for refugees then and to draw us to be compassionate for refugees & immigrants today .

and maine , which has limited film incentives , now is considering a 25 percent credit for wages paid to residents employed by film productions and a 15 percent credit on wages paid to non - maine residents . backers of the bill argue maine loses production to massachusetts , which has similar coastal settings .
though this film addresses a neglected topic , it , unfortunately , falls short in many ways . the opening scenes are disjointed and choppy . it quickly breezes through the back story of hans and max . it provides little explanation of why they fled germany or how they ended up in pas - de - calais . even hans’ arrest is a mystery explained only briefly later in the film . as a viewer , i felt as if i had been plopped into the middle of an ongoing story and had a hard time understanding what was happening .
last month , i showed the film thelma and louise . i asked myself if i should give a warning about the film’s attempted rape scene . i decided not to . the scene needed to be a surprise , as it’s a major plot point and reason for the characters to embark on their journey .

maryland state sen . edward kasemeyer , a democrat and longtime backer of the tax credits , said the goal wasn’t to bring in more state revenue , but to create a film industry and“film culture” in maryland . he said the production companies have spent upwards of $ 300 million in the state since the credit began .

california , worried about the incentives other states are using to lure hollywood productions , last year tripled to $ 330 million the amount available for film tax breaks .
the journey of tulip fever is a sort of hollywood eclipse , an occasional phenomenon that has no wider bearing on the industry but is the kind of unusual , fascinating spectacle that draws in some committed film fans . something similar happened with david o . russell’s nailed , a 2008 comedy starring jake gyllenhaal and jessica biel that was disowned by its director and eventually released as accidental love in 2015 , making only a few thousand dollars at the box office . there was also serena , an epic drama starring jennifer lawrence and bradley cooper , which took almost two years to make it to theaters and was barely noticed upon release .
aside from some bumpy early edits which leave its setup a bit rushed and muddled , “come way may” lucidly lays out its basic premise : having escaped their native germany in 1939 , anti - nazi activist hans ( august diehl ) and young son max ( joshio marlon ) take refuge in the northern french village of pas - de - calais , where hans is soon arrested and thrown in jail on suspicion of being a spy . max thus winds up in the care of local teacher suzanne ( alice isaaz ) , whose benevolent care is a godsend once mayor paul ( olivier gourmet ) — with the invading germans nearing their town by may 1940 — convinces the citizenry to uproot themselves and venture south to safer pastures .
güeros from mexico , a homage to the french new wave and the 1960s . alonso ruiz palacios directed this story of three young men in mexico city and a beautiful young woman who is a leader of the local student - protest movement . the film won two prizes , including best cinematography , at last year’s tribeca film festival .

directed by : christian carion produced by : nord - ouest films genre : fiction - runtime : 1 h 54 min french release : 04 / 11 / 2015 production year : 2013 may 1940 . to escape the german invasion , the inhabitants of a small village in the north of france take to the road , like millions of other french people . on this exodus , the villagers take with them a german child , whose father opposed the nazi regime and who has been jailed in arras for lying about his nationality . during the chaos , the father is freed and sets out to find his son , accompanied by a scottish soldier who is trying to get back to england . more info : urltoken
before we meet percy , we’re introduced to hans ( august diehl ) , a german hiding from the nazis with his son , max ( jushio marlon ) in a town outside arras , france . “come what may” spends most of its time with these two , who are separated when hans is imprisoned after france declares war on the encroaching germans . hans eventually winds up on the road with percy , while max takes the displacement journey with the aforementioned miss suzanne , a french teacher who becomes extremely maternal toward him . if you’re thinking there’s an outside chance a makeshift family could result with max , hans and miss suzanne , you’re on the same wavelength as this movie . you just have no idea how absurdly far the narrative will twist to get to this possibility .
there ' s nothing excessively imaginative or distinguished about the film , but it has some of the solid narrative pleasures of a good , old - fashioned hollywood war epic .

the result is a film that never feels as intense as it should , even if committed performances — especially from the non - frenchies diehl ( inglourious basterds ) and rhys ( co - star on the americans ) — take the characters farther than they may have appeared on the page . yet the overall effect is still too bland to cause a real stir , and carion concludes the long voyage pretty much in the way you expect .

another failing of the film is that it is scenery driven . the cinematography of the french countryside is gorgeous and the historical details are accurate enough to transport the viewer into mid - century france . but this is not enough to engage the viewer in a film which is inspired by real - life accounts . the lack of dialogue and a clear plot are a hindrance to creating an emotional connection with the viewer . for most of the film , there is also a noticeable lack of fear and tension which is sorely needed when portraying war time events .

moggach isn’t some hollywood neophyte : she wrote the screenplay for the 2005 pride and prejudice and saw her novel these foolish things adapted into the film the best exotic marigold hotel . so there remained interest in tulip fever , which was finally resurrected as a film by the mega - producer harvey weinstein . though its budget was lower , at $ 25 million , weinstein still assembled a big cast and hired stoppard to work on the script ; many more tulips were planted , and the film was finally committed to celluloid in 2014 . that , usually , would have been the end of that .

two years after tulip fever was first scheduled for release , audiences will finally be able to see it in theaters . but the film , out friday , isn’t being screened for critics , and the release strategy is reminiscent of someone being snuck out the back door in hopes of attracting as little attention as possible . it’s a fittingly strange ending to one of the most mysteriously drawn - out productions in recent film memory—but so many questions remain . what happened to tulip fever along the way , to transmogrify it from high - end awards contender to a studio’s secret shame ? and will the fuss around its delayed release actually help in drawing eyeballs to a movie that might otherwise have been dismissed as a staid costume drama ?

dublin , ireland - - on the stage of a small dublin theater , actors dressed as munchkins swear , steal , fight , drink and smoke opium .
the seamy underside of
the wizard of oz
is on display in
babylon heights ,
a provocative backstage drama complete with drug addiction , sex and suicide among the movie ' s munchkin performers .
the show , which opened tuesday in dublin , has titillated the tabloid press _ and left some small people worried about how they will be portrayed .
it ' s easy to see why . the play is co - written by irvine welsh , an auteur of excess whose 1993 novel ,
trainspotting ,
put scottish heroin addicts and salty edinburgh slang on the literary map .
the play _ first staged at san francisco ' s exit theatre earlier this year _ has generated a flurry of headlines thanks to its depiction of dwarf debauchery . britain ' s daily mail recounted with relish the
shocking episodes of drunkenness , depravity and wild sexual propositions
behind the scenes of the 1939 film .
ruth morgan , manager of the 3 , 000 - member restricted growth association , said she was keeping an open mind about the play , in which the characters are played by full - sized actors on an oversized set .
but she is worried it will bring the derogatory word munchkin back into common use .
people of restricted growth are not munchkins ,
she said .
they are people of restricted growth .
judging by opening night , the play is deliriously vulgar , as subtle as a sledgehammer _ and far too long . but the irish cast imbue the characters with genuine emotion , and the trick of perspective played by the huge set does give audience members a sense of what it ' s like to be small in a big person ' s world .
the alleged offstage antics of the actors who played the munchkins have become part of
wizard of oz
lore . more than 120 small performers appeared in the movie as inhabitants of the magical munchkinland visited by dorothy and her loyal dog , toto .
some were seasoned performers recruited from circuses and vaudeville troupes . others were inexperienced hopefuls _ lured , like many before and since , by the promise of the hollywood dream . they were , welsh said in a recent interview ,
the smallest of the small people in depression america .
billeted apart from the other actors in a hotel near the mgm studios _ and reportedly paid less than the dog playing toto _ they were an object of prurient fascination to their co - stars .
director mervyn leroy recalled
sex orgies at the hotel .
in a 1960s talk show appearance , judy garland blurted out
they were drunks
when asked about her diminutive co - stars .
welsh and co - author dean cavanagh confine four characters _ a new jersey tough guy , a self - important thespian , an irish lass and a sensitive englishman _ in a dingy hotel room , then let the tension and tantrums unfold .
the fate of one munchkin became a movie myth : it ' s rumored that a dark figure glimpsed dangling from a tree in one scene is the body of an actor who hanged himself in despair . film historians say it was a bird , but welsh and cavanagh try to imagine what would drive a munchkin to suicide .
it ' s a persistent myth ,
welsh told the british broadcasting corp . last week .
the point about myths is they don ' t really need to be true . people need to believe in them .
the wizard of oz
is a similarly persistent tale . the story of young dorothy ' s journey from depression - era kansas to magical emerald city , the film was only modestly successful on its release but has become a much - loved , often - televised classic .
generations have grown up laughing with the cowardly lion and trembling at the wicked witch of the west . the story , adapted from l . frank baum ' s novel ,
the wonderful wizard of oz ,
has inspired innumerable tributes and takeoffs , from disco musical
the wiz
to gregory maguire ' s revisionist novel _ adapted into a hit musical _
wicked : the life and times of the wicked witch of the west .
welsh hopes to bring his take on the tale to theaters in chicago and new york .
it starts out quite dark _ toto is kidnapped , there ' s a tornado , ( dorothy ) kills a witch . and it gets brighter and brighter and brighter . and the play mirrors that in reverse . it starts off quite upbeat and gets darker and darker .
if you scratch the surface of any fairy tale , you ' ll find something pretty nasty going on underneath .
