the room is , as you can see , quite dark . it faces north and while these painted rooms worked well in sunnier climes , as seen , no doubt , by teh 5th earl of exeter on his grand tour of europe , the decoration does cast rather a gloom in the cold lincolnshire light . the room was originally designed by the 5th earl as a state dining room , but its chilly aspect meant that it gradually fell out of use : the kitchens were a long way away and the food was invariably cold when it reached the hungry diners waiting in this room ! eventually it evolved into a second billiard room and then into a music room until 1990 when the painted surfaces of the room were extensively restored . the room is now fitted up for display and the dining table is set up as it would have been for a formal dinner during the victorian era . the west wall , below… .

the final destination series is somewhat notable among horror fans in that there are currently no survivors ( with the exception of kimberly corman and thomas burke from final destination 2 ) . alex and clear were the survivors of the first film but in between the course of the first and second film alex had died . clear dies in the second film . and as for the third , fourth and fifth film every one dies in the end ( although the deaths of wendy , kevin and julie can only be seen in premonition ) .
the room now contains articles that had to be removed or put out of shot during the filming of pride and prejudice : this bust , below , of the duke of wellington would have been highly anachronistic for a film set in 1796 , when he was merely a colonel serving in the netherlands and india .
interstellar is also great because the plot , at least part of it , is based on real science . physicist kip thorne acted as science adviser on the film , and he had a say in how the wormholes and black holes in the film looked . the result is possibly the best wormhole scene on film to date , outside of contact , which also incorporated thorne ' s vision of wormholes .
the series is notable among horror film fans for it ' s inventive death scenes and that the franchise is like typical slasher film series ( like friday the 13th , scream or the texas chainsaw massacre ) only there ' s no actual killer , just death itself .

kyle henry is a writer / director who hasn’t written a movie since 2005 . and if his last effort , room , is any indication , that’s a good thing . that’s not fair , the movie’s not a total waste . it does show promise . unfortunately , it gets right up to the moment of truth , stops at the precipice , then laughs in the face of that promise and says , “suckers ! ” , then turns tail and runs while the credits roll , leaving the audience saying , “wait , what ? ”

nicolas winding refn ‘s the neon demon is a beautifully shot yet polarizing film . it’s either shallow , pretentious , sensationalistic and self - indulgent or a bold haunting hypnotic work of suspense . i’m still not sure if i liked it or not , but it has certainly remained with me since my viewing of the film over the weekend . my reaction is typical — the movie has gotten a very mixed reaction from critics and film geeks .
inspired in part by her growing love for cambodia — where she would eventually buy a house , become a citizen in 2005 and work for environmental conservation , education and other causes — jolie started working with the united nations as a goodwill ambassador in 2001 , devoting more and more of her time to humanitarian efforts around the world that continue to this day .

lady catherine , who was played by dame judi dench , is always shown in a sack dress ( this purple confection was on show at burghley house in the bow room tin 2005 - 6 , and it was magnificent ) which would also have be seen as old fashioned in 1796 . i can only conclude that the filmmakers wanted to depict lady catherine as grand and slightly set in her ways , which character traits were reflected in her choice of food and of dress . qutie a clever conceit , bearing in mind how stubborn the old bat could be… . .
the film opens with two engineers and entrepreneurs , abe and aaron , building electronics in aaron ' s garage . after achieving some success with their latest project — a room temperature superconductor — they discover it has an unexpected side - effect : creating time loops . everything they place inside the box runs back and forth through time for roughly 1300 iterations .

the science - fiction psychological thriller was the debut film of writers / directors eric bress and j . mackye gruber . it used chaos theory as the premise of its ludicrous plot ( similar to a negative reversal of it ' s a wonderful life ( 1946 ) ) , stated in the film ' s opening :
meanwhile , the cult of the room grows . increasingly , the laemmle sunset 5 shows the movie on two screens , due to demand . fans have begun to re - create scenes and post them on youtube . wiseau is mulling the possibility of turning the film into a broadway musical and would like to dub it in french and spanish for a possible european theatrical release . he also , ambitiously , wants to screen the room at the staples center , which has a seating capacity of 20 , 000 . ”we live in america . so everything is possible ! ” he says .

it seems odd that a mountain lion would break into a second floor motel room , but the city of pasadena does warn that the wild predators frequent the city . the imagery in the neon demon is often times not so subtle but in your face . the image of the mountain lion tearing up the motel room is surreal , and i think this is one way that refn is setting up audiences for what is to come .
ultimately , it really doesn’t matter whether the comedy in the film is intentional or accidental . wiseau always planned for the room to provoke a reaction and entertain , and it has certainly done both those things . and how many other independent filmmakers can claim to have entranced — and even influenced — such a roll call of comedic luminaries ? ”anything that i’ve seen that many times seeps into my subconscious , ” says david wain . ”in the same way that steve martin or woody allen movies became part of my vocabulary , that’s what happened with the room . i’m laughing just thinking about it ! ”
the room opened at a handful of cinemas in l . a . on june 27 , 2003 . the director , who self - distributed the movie , offered a free soundtrack cd for ticket buyers , and promoted the film with a tv and print campaign that compared the room to the work of tennessee williams . wiseau rented a billboard on highland avenue , which featured a close - up of his glowering visage , and submitted the film to the academy awards , without success . cast member robyn paris recalls the film’s premiere screening as ”a big deal . tommy rode in a limousine . there was a spotlight set up . it was pretty packed . everyone in the theater was crying with laughter . ” not everyone found the film so amusing , however . variety critic scott foundas noted that it ”may be something of a first : a movie that prompts most of its viewers to ask for their money back — before even 30 minutes have passed . ” foundas also called wiseau ”a narcissist nonpareil whose movie makes vincent gallo’s the brown bunny seem the apotheosis of cinematic self - restraint . ”
oh , what a room ! thank you so much for this series set inside burghley house , julie . i’m enjoying it immensely , and you’re making it swiftly move up the list of “places to visit next . ”
early in the film , there ' s a striking image . we see a vast empty room , with rows of what look like abandoned lunchroom tables . then we see the room when it was enron ' s main trading floor , with countless computer monitors on the tables and hundreds of traders on the phones . two vast staircases sweep up from either side of the trading floor to the aeries of lay and skilling , whose palatial offices overlook the traders . they look like the stairway to heaven in that old david niven movie , but at the end they only led down , down , down .
a man gets violently drunk and is chained to the wall in a police station . his friend comes and bails him out . while the friend is making a telephone call , the man disappears from an empty city street in the middle of the night . the man regains consciousness in what looks like a shabby hotel room . a bed , a desk , a tv , a bathroom cubicle . there is a steel door with a slot near the floor for his food tray . occasionally a little tune plays , the room fills with gas , and when he regains consciousness the room has been cleaned , his clothes have been changed , and he has received a haircut .

if the room is the citizen kane of bad movies , that makes tommy wiseau the orson welles of crap . wiseau — who speaks with a thick , schwarzeneggerian accent — directed , wrote , and produced the film . the muscled auteur also plays the cuckolded johnny , and , when not exposing his ivory rump in the film’s sex scenes , gives a performance that’s both heartfelt and berserk . in one scene , a vein - poppingly distraught wiseau howls the line , ”you are tearing me apart , lisa ! ” the moment — a favorite of room fans — is reminiscent of both james dean’s ”you’re tearing me apart ! ” howl in rebel without a cause and marlon brando screaming ”stella ! ” in a streetcar named desire . at least it would be , if those actors had chosen to play their parts as deranged austrians .

poorly written , acted and executed , yet entertaining to an extent amidst all the disaster . the room , though sacred and notorious for one tommy wiseau , is so terrible it ' s great in its cult - like way . 1 / 5
the male characters were like the girlfriends of other films . they’re plot devices . they’re there to tell a certain part of the story mechanically . in the end , the film is all about women , ” refn says , pointing out that the guys disappear about halfway through the movie . “they were no longer needed in the film , so i took them out . ”
quite possibly the single nerdiest film ever made , and one that brings technical jargon to a new art form , it is also one of the most believable via its starkly straightforward presentation .
from being hit by a large truck which kills her friends . everyone is taken in for questioning and after hearing of the events of the first film they all storm off . soon after
the direction was about as average as average gets , resulting in a movie that looks like the epitome of what an independent movie looks like . if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all , and room offers not one ounce of originality or style .
primer is a 2004 independent film , written and directed by shane carruth . ( also produced by shane carruth , starring shane carruth , edited by shane carruth , shane carruth as director of photography and with a soundtrack composed by shane carruth . ) it was made on a minuscule budget of $ 7 , 000 , most of which went towards buying film stock . the film is a character - driven drama about two engineers who unexpectedly create a time machine , and an examination of how time travel ( and the power it confers ) affects them and their friendship .
the controversy - provoking film ended with a shocking , melodramatic plot twist to explain bud ' s complex personality and downer mood throughout the film . bud ' s intense guilt about abandoning her and his continuing crisis of masculine insecurity were informed by the appearance of the deceased daisy ( in his mind only ! ) - as bud had been masturbating alone to his memory of her .
enron : the smartest guys in the room tells the inside story of the spectacular rise and fall of one of the most scandal - ridden corporations in american history . based on the best - selling book of the same name , this film takes a look at the collapse of the once seventh - largest company in the united states , where executives misappropriated billions of dollars , leaving investors scrambling and ruining the life - savings of thousands of employees .
it isn ' t an easy film , but the world ' s already got plenty of easy and easily digestible films . nervy and confounding pictures , however , we could use more of .

a mobster in therapy , having problems with his mother ,
was how the sopranos initially sparked , according to creator david chase , though he was thinking about the premise for a feature film .
second hand storytelling : half the reason the film is so mind screwy is because several key events are described rather than shown — and the characters doing the describing would rather be laconic than descriptive .
the remainder of the film demonstrated the repercussions of his intrusive changes that often brought unexpected side - effects or results . evan became a number of different alternate individuals with varying futures , for example :

outland was in the vanguard for its use of layered front - screen projection . plus , it has one of the first gruesome images in mainstream film of a man popping like a tomato in space .
the film was accused of having an overly - protracted and lengthy story until the final 10 - 15 minutes . recurring symbols included mirrors ( and mirror images of originals ) and a mystery doppelganger woman .
but she is looking for the right thing to spark her interest . asked if she has ever considered trying to tackle a big - budget studio franchise film , like a superhero movie , she paused .

she’s alone in a strange place and has a few adventures , and by “adventures” i mean she meets a loser in a bar , takes him back to her motel room for the night , then runs into an old friend from texas who has changed her name and is now a struggling actress in new york . while searching for this mysterious room , she stumbles into some kind of support group , then sneaks out again . at her friend’s insistence , she contacts a real estate agent in hopes she can help julia find this room , but , again , has no luck . then someone hands her an envelope on the street with a big red arrow on it . this is the key , she decides , and follows a series of chalk arrows around town until she gets to the place she is sure she’s been searching so desperately for .

in the season three opener ,
gay witch hunt
, michael holds a homosexual meeting in the conference room . the writers wrote for michael to hug oscar nuñez . but steve carell improvised when he kissed nuñez . the shock and horror on oscar ' s face is legitimate .
it . . . may be the longest 75 - minute film in the history of cinema - - there was a clock check 25 minutes in , after thinking ' this has got to be almost over . '
westworld offers up a mixture of early ‚äò70s pop psychology and a jaundiced view of unchecked technology . between this film and the stepford wives , it ' s surprising that the animatronics industry didn ' t go under .
this opening scene is also about setting the tone for the entire film . is this reality or is it something else ? refn wants the viewer to keep asking themselves this question while watching his film . the final act of the neon demon answers the question , and the answer might not be what everyone was expecting or wanting . that in mind , refn has said that he felt the whole movie was about that last scene :
there are some changes in the set between the first season and the subsequent ones . the exterior of the building is completely different in the first season than what ' s used afterward . also , the wall in between michael ' s office and the conference room ( the one , in which andy punches a hole ) is much thinner in the first season . also , in the first season there is a door to the left of the break room door . now there is just a door between creed ' s desk and oscar , kevin , and angela ' s island .
the room is a san francisco - set love triangle involving a banker named johnny , his friend mark , and johnny’s fiancée lisa , who is sleeping with both men . the film does seem to be beset with problems . various subplots are inadequately resolved or simply disappear altogether , including the throwaway revelation that lisa’s mother is suffering from cancer . the film’s many rooftop shots feature an unrealistic san francisco backdrop , thanks to some less - than - impressive greenscreen work . there are lengthy , unerotic sex scenes , the last of which prompts a section of the audience to depart the auditorium temporarily in mock protest . finally , in one sequence , a sharp bone seems about to erupt from lisa’s neck for no reason at all .
the film taps into every person ' s innate fears of space , and reminds us that the universe outside our planet is vast , empty , and hostile to humans . gravity stays with you long after watching it .
director jennifer chambers lynch ' s ( david lynch ' s daughter ) directorial debut film was an erotic and disturbing psychosexual work of incestuous obsession , using the armless venus de milo statue as a major symbol and metaphor .
after the reveal of the mountain lion in jesse’s room , keanu reeves’s character hank doesn’t jump to protect jesse . instead he blames her for leaving the patio door open . is the mountain lion a metaphor for how jesse had left the door open which had allowed monsters to come into her life ?
unbreakable ( 2000 ) . shyamalan ' s most unusual and most underrated film , a grave , dour superhero saga that eschews the usual spandex accoutrements . it also gets my vote for best ( and least anticipated ) ending .
the film opens on jesse ( elle fanning ) laying down in a blue dress covered in blood laying totally lifeless . or as refn has described it , “elle fanning lying on the couch , covered in blood . death and beauty . snow white just died . ” moments later we realize that jesse isn’t dead , the scene was created for a fashion photoshoot . its this imagery that inspired the rest of the film . refn told ew the following :
and the day of the triffids adds a second element of horror beyond killer vegetation : a meteor shower leaves a large part of the population blind . the film works best in detailing the breakdown of society following a widespread calamity .
women around the world may have been envious of her body , but simpson has never been comfortable showing it off , whether she is shooting a scene in a film or video clip or relaxing on a beach during a holiday .

the air of world - weary sadness that hung over the denizens of the 12th precinct made barney miller feel different from other sitcoms , quieter in personality and more offbeat cops in action via inaction , dragging themselves around the squad room like drones in an office otherwise made colorful by the perps coming in off the street .
. every aspect of his film falls so far short of the normal and the natural that wiseau aspires to replicate . although audiences ' laughter tends to be scornful and disparaging , not life - enhancing , the joke may be on us -
the fact is that wiseau has succeeded where so many big - screen hopefuls have failed . he has made his mark . true , it may not be quite the one he intended . but he has proved , without a doubt , that there is a place — that there is room — in hollywood for tommy wiseau .

the film was co - written by michael cimino , who would later make the deer hunter , and steven bochco , who ' d later make , among other things , hill street blues . the director , douglas trumbull , is one of the most respected special - effects wizards out there , getting his start with short films for the 1964 world ' s fair and still working on projects such as tree of life . i mention all this so you ' ll keep your mind off the dreadful joan baez song that nearly ruins the entire film .
the film ' s plot twist was revealed when their discussion came to a close . when he returned to the scene of the rape , an ambulance had already arrived at the scene , and he sadly kissed her corpse on a stretcher . the film ' s ending gave greater meaning to everything that came before , including the sex scene . it was revealed that daisy had in fact died as a result of the incident ( choking to death on her own vomit ) -
i was dead
- and was later taken away in the ambulance .
late - night showings of cult films such as the rocky horror picture show and the big lebowski are known for their rowdy and strange behavior too . but people who go to see rocky horror and lebowski think those films are good . tonight’s movie , an obscure , five - year - old drama called the room , holds a different place in the hearts of those present at west hollywood’s laemmle sunset 5 . ”it’s absolutely terrible , ” says chris bonk , a talent - agency assistant who has seen the film more than 15 times . ”the script is not the best . the acting is certainly not the best . the music is horrible . ”
everyone has an agenda . that ' s what it seems like to collin , a man used to being in charge who , after going on the run , wakes up to find himself in a stark white room with seemingly no power over his surroundings . as collin struggles to understand his current predicament he is vexed by three entirely different beings : the hulking cal , who attempts to physically intimidate him by battering him into submission ; the confusing claudia , who batters his mind by talking in circles always keeping the truth just out of reach ; and the alluring clover , who tries to charm him into her way of thinking . collin is forced to trust one of them . if he chooses wrong , he may never get out of the room .
his secrecy has been key to the film’s success . ( as wain puts it , ”part of the fun is guessing : who is this guy ? where is he from ? why did he shoot on a greenscreen instead of going up on a roof ? ” ) his ed wood - like innocence and enthusiasm for moviemaking has helped as well : rudd declined to talk about the room for this article because he didn’t want to ”mock somebody else’s stuff . ” and lo truglio later got back in touch , concerned that he had been too harsh about wiseau . ”it is a guilty pleasure in every sense of the word , ” he says of the movie .
my viewing has prompted a deep dive into interviews and analysis of the film , and i thought i’d share some of the insights into the neon demon ending , the symbology and metaphors both obvious and more hidden . i’ll also attempt to answer some of your the neon demon questions .
past the initial premise and some cool - for - its - day opening computer graphics , escape from new york is a film that ' s actually better in your memory than in reality—though nothing can take away from the chandeliers fixed to the hood of isaac hayes ' s car .
in the end , betrayal , greed , and violent murders were the results of their misguided scheme . harry was being followed throughout the entire film by a lawyer ' s agent hired by his wife sandy - she was secretly planning to divorce harry and was also having an affair .
in the film ' s most notorious , explicit and controversial scene of unsimulated fellatio at the finale , bud and daisy were in a starkly - white hotel room - both lonely and needy individuals who were attempting to connect and speak to each other . after kissing and fondling of her naked breasts , as he stood before her at the side of the bed , he undid his belt buckle , released his pant ' s fly , and she took his male member into her mouth to begin the infamous ' blow - job ' scene - as he held himself . as she pleasured him in her mouth , they still engaged in a conversation about their love for each other .
sunshine isn ' t just a dynamite science - fiction film ; it is a marvelous look at a group of desperate people coming together to face an impossible challenge . the score by john murphy and underworld is absolutely what i want to be playing when my body is liquefied by solar flares .
yes , midnight - movie maniacs love rollerball because it has james caan killing people with a spiked glove in a psychotic roller derby . but beyond the popcorn spectacle , the movie is actually a well - thought - out ( and wonderfully shot ) dystopian film with great performances and fantastic interior spaces .
this is not a political documentary . it is a crime story . no matter what your politics ,
enron : the smartest guys in the room
will make you mad . it tells the story of how enron rose to become the seventh largest corporation in america with what was essentially a ponzi scheme , and in its last days looted the retirement funds of its employees to buy a little more time .
the most shocking material in the film involves the fact that enron cynically and knowingly created the phony california energy crisis . there was never a shortage of power in california . using tape recordings of enron traders on the phone with california power plants , the film chillingly overhears them asking plant managers to
get a little creative
in shutting down plants for
repairs .
between 30 percent and 50 percent of california ' s energy industry was shut down by enron a great deal of the time , and up to 76 percent at one point , as the company drove the price of electricity higher by nine times .
early in the film , jesse meets three women : jena malone who plays make - up artist ruby , and her two model friends gigi ( bella heathcote ) and sarah ( abbey lee ) . each of the women represent a different aspect of beauty . refn explains as much in an interview with slant :
whedon ' s futuristic wild west of space pirates and psychic ing√©nues shows how an ostensibly benevolent government can transform into an evil empire . despite the will of the entire internet , there will never , ever be a sequel , even though orson scott card has called this the best science - fiction film ever .
in commercial travel ,
final destination
is a quasi - industry term that refers to a passenger ' s ultimate intended location . for the franchise , it ' s an obvious metaphor for death ; the ultimate fate or
destination
that everyone has . the title carries this double - meaning specifically concerning the events of the first film . however , it may vaguely apply to the next 3 films in the way that the subsequent events are all possibly byproducts of a ripple - effect created by the survivors of flight 180 . the 5th film of course is the big exception as it takes place prior to the crash .
tommy wiseau insists that he ”really doesn’t know” how the film fared at the box office on its initial release . however , one industry source states that the combined gross from the two - week run at two theaters — the laemmle fallbrook and fairfax — was just $ 1 , 900 . michael rousselet , a young screenwriter who seems to be patient zero of the film’s cult , says he first caught the movie at an ”absolutely empty” theater . ”it was like our own private mystery science theater , ” he says . ”i was calling friends during the end and saying , ‘you have to come to this movie . ’ we saw it four times in three days , and on the last day i had over 100 people there . ” soon , screenings of the room were thick with both laughter and cutlery . ”the spoon thing probably started during the fourth screening with my friends , ” says rousselet . ”i was like , why is there a spoon in the picture frame ? every time it came up , i’d scream ‘spoon ! ’ so we brought spoons . ”

the film was directed by douglas mcgrath .

his way ( film )

jerry weintraub in “his way , ” a documentary about the way of life and business of the veteran manager , promoter and producer .
there are no critic reviews yet for his way . keep checking rotten tomatoes for updates !
with the headline : producer who did it all , not in a shy way .
a self - referential film about a fictional attempt to make a grace slick biopic .
“his way , ” an hbo documentary on monday night about the veteran manager , promoter and producer jerry weintraub , is a nose - pressed - to - the - glass experience . it’s as if graydon carter — one of the film’s producers — has allowed you into the bar at his waverly inn just to gawk at the more privileged people being led into the back room .
oliver stone , the film’s director , was more diplomatic , telling the hollywood reporter that trump was “stunning” as an actor .
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 .
the film , written and directed by douglas mcgrath , is a valentine both to mr . weintraub and to a way of life and business — the ring - a - ding - ding , rat pack , vegas - palm springs - l . a . rolling party — that grows more glamorous as it recedes in time . “not just as a producer , but as , sort of , a guy , ” george clooney says of mr . weintraub , his producer on the “ocean’s” movies , “he’s one of the last of his kind . ”
the film leaves little doubt that he earned his place , tracing a classic progression from delivering groceries to selling clothes ( in alaska during world war ii , while he was also a full - time soldier ) to the mailroom at william morris . then come the big breaks : promoting an elvis presley tour and a frank sinatra comeback concert , handling john denver and the carpenters , and moving into film producing with “nashville” and “diner” and “the karate kid . ” ( other film projects like “oh , god ! ” and “cruising” don’t receive as much attention . )
the film , wall street : money never sleeps —a sequel to the 1987 original—follows a reformed gordon gekko ( michael douglas ) who , after serving eight years in prison for securities fraud , attempts to warn banking bigwigs of the impending financial crisis . when his pleas fall on deaf ears , the douchebag - cassandra opts to repair his relationship with his estranged daughter ( carey mulligan ) and help her fiancé ( labeouf ) exact revenge on a cutthroat investment banker in the gekko mold , bretton james ( josh brolin ) .
in both of the scenes , presented in split - screen , scaramucci is talking to clients by phone , and in the later one , at around the film’s 40 - minute mark , he even appears to channel his new boss , using one of trump’s favorite made - up words .

film festivals may be raging from venice to telluride to toronto , but the biggest industry story this week had to be the box office dominance of andy muscietti’s stephen king adaptation “ it . ” the film raked in nearly $ 120 million opening weekend and looks to stay strong over the next week , ensuring a whole new generation’s fear of clowns .
it’s a better performance than his pouty , razzie - winning turn in the dreadful ‘80s rom - com ghosts can’t do it , but not by much . and though it didn’t make the final cut of wall street : money never sleeps , the trump - gekko scene did wind up in the film’s dvd extras .
there’s not much here about the wages of fame , beyond the occasional deal that went sour . both his wife , from whom he’s separated , and his girlfriend , with whom he’s lived for the last two decades , testify to what a great guy mr . weintraub is .
mr . clooney , bruce willis , brad pitt , matt damon , julia roberts , george h . w . and barbara bush : their unspoken but insistent fame telegraphs mr . weintraub’s own belonging . “his way” supports the notion of hollywood as a small town , but an even stronger image is that of the fraternity . as andy garcia puts it , mr . weintraub is “chairman of the men’s club . ”
the way
is a powerful and inspirational story about family , friends and the challenges we face while navigating this ever - changing and complicated world . martin sheen plays tom , an american doctor who comes to st . jean pied de port , france to collect the remains of his adult son ( played by emilio estevez ) , killed in the pyrenees in a storm while walking the camino de santiago , also known as the way of saint james . rather than return home , tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son ' s desire to finish the journey . what tom doesn ' t plan on is the profound impact the journey will have on him and his
california bubble life
. inexperienced as a trekker , tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey . on his journey , tom meets other pilgrims from around the world , each with their own issues and looking for greater meaning in their lives : a dutchman ( yorick van wageningen ) , a canadian ( deborah kara unger ) and an irish writer ( james nesbitt ) , who is . . .
seven years ago , the president of the united states and his communications director lobbied to appear in an anti - capitalist oliver stone movie starring shia labeouf .
furthermore , the new york daily news reported that those involved with trump’s barbershop scene had to sign a contract stating that they would not touch his cotton candy hair .
a father heads overseas to recover the body of his estranged son who died while traveling the
el camino de santiago ,
and decides to take the pilgrimage himself .
according to stone , trump was “good” but came with “two pages of prerequisites” for his scene . the list of demands , which were obtained by newsweek , read as follows :
every time i had a conversation with jerry weintraub , i felt like i was dialing back in time to ’40s hollywood and reaching the guy who had tinseltown at his feet . i look at the most successful young producers today , and they are so understated by comparison , afraid of offending anyone , and they sure don’t seem to have as much fun as jerry did . my conversations with jerry always started the same way . i’d call with some scoop on one of his films i wanted to splash in daily variety . i’d be met with that gruff “i’m in control here , kid” response , flavored by the raspy bronx accent he never shed . for the next several minutes he would tell me why i couldn’t write that story until he finally warmed to me and the topic and then it became how big i was going to make the splash . i always hung up thinking this was a guy who was enjoying a great , opulent life full of famous friends whose names often found their way into our conversation .
during the scene when the group is walking past a beautiful panorama of mountains , jack is telling tom about his dreams at trinity college dublin and they all share a laugh at sarah ' s plan to lay her cigarettes at the feet of st . james - they ' re actually walking the wrong way . the scene was shot in the town of o cebreiro in galicia and the wooded path they appear to be entering would actually take them eastward back towards the cruz de ferro , not westward towards santiago .
many said that weintraub got to play himself when he portrayed the tough character sonny capps for director sydney pollack in the firm opposite tom cruise , and hbo turned his story into a documentary . he never saw his real dream project come to fruition , but he seemed to have such a good time being jerry weintraub at warner bros that maybe that was good enough .
“they made everyone sign this contract that you couldn’t touch his hair , ” an insider told the daily news . “the two hairdressers and the production team had to sign this contract . ”
the viewer will probably come away thinking the same thing . mr . weintraub is a genial , garrulous interview subject , rattling off anecdotes about colonel parker , sinatra and pat morita , and mr . mcgrath supplies lavish film clips of 1950s , ’60s and ’70s new york , las vegas and los angeles . it’s not a vanity project , but it’s the kind of deluxe package jerry weintraub has spent his life working relentlessly to assemble .
for more , including skarsgard’s thoughts on the dangers of arbitrarily expanding the world of “it” beyond its breaking point , and his work on hulu’s stephen king - inspired “castle rock” series , listen to the latest episode of “playback” via the streaming link above .
in the deleted scene , trump ( playing himself ) runs into gekko at a barbershop in london ( though eagle - eyed viewers will recognize it as tommy guns salon on the lower east side of manhattan ) . it came toward the end of the film , with gekko back on top again running a successful hedge fund .
actor bill skarsgard got the call to play pennywise the dancing clown in the film , the physical manifestation of an evil entity that has terrorized a small maine town for centuries . but it was a daunting prospect , not least of all because such an iconic portrayal of the character already existed courtesy of tim curry in abc’s 1990 miniseries adaptation .
not everyone was happy about trump’s diva - like demands . “it was absolutely absurd , ” the film’s producer , eric kopeloff , told newsweek . “you can look and see the movies i’ve made . [ i’ve worked with ] all these movie actors . never , ever , have i seen anything like this . not from the biggest movie stars in the world . ”
the mooch’s brief cameos , which amount to less than fifteen total seconds of screen time , didn’t come cheap . according to sources close to the production , in exchange for the cameos—and the skybridge capital logo being displayed prominently during a charity gala sequence in the film—scaramucci ponied up around $ 100 , 000 . former president george w . bush didn’t nickname him “gucci scaramucci” for nothing .
“you know , we did take one with michael and [ trump ] talking in a barbershop . and he jumped up after the take and he said , ‘wasn’t that great ? ’ you know , he kept doing it . and we kept going because i was deepening the scene as we went . and he didn’t understand nine takes . he’d just done eight , nine takes , he’d never understand it . but every scene , he’d just jump up . he was the same way every time . he didn’t change . but i knew that , ” recalled stone .
a profile of entertainment - industry icon jerry weintraub , a onetime talent agent who moved on to promoting concerts for acts such as elvis presley , frank sinatra , and bob dylan before becoming a successful film producer ( nashville ; diner ) . included are remarks by george clooney , brad pitt , james caan , julia roberts , and george h . w . bush . ~ joe friedrich , rovi
if the half - hearted escape attempts aren’t filmed with any real tension by guigui , they’re less galling than the would - be defiance of expectations . get this : it’s the black guy , michael , who’s outwardly racist ! luckily , gershon’s character is there to unironically lecture michael about not prejudging her hard - working billionaire almost - ex . to clarify , this is a movie co - written by one of charlie sheen’s producers on anger management wherein sheen played a hard - working billionaire who had no discernible character flaws apart from working too hard to support his family and loving his wife too much to divorce her .
skarsgard therefore felt the freedom to seek out his own take on the character , and maybe tap into some of the more abstract elements of the novel . in king’s 1 , 100 - page tome , the entity known as it is a trans - dimensional being . that gave skarsgard unique layers to work with in the portrayal .
the oscar - winning filmmaker added that he decided to cut out trump “because it was a writing issue in terms of—it was too late and too little for where we were , at that point in the movie . and i wasn’t thinking about his future presidency or anything like that . i was just dealing with an editing issue . ”
unfortunately , in addition to the heaps of obnoxious pre - release press on the project—including labeouf’s outlandish claim that he turned $ 20 , 000 into $ 300 , 000 in two and a half months day trading and was prepping for the series 7 exam—the film failed to match the original’s enticing mélange of perverse luxury and corporate cynicism , with its plot marred by cnn - mimicking split - screens , distracting celebrity cameos , and an eyeroll - inducing denouement .
this tenacity suggests , puzzlingly , that the people behind 9 / 11 really believe in it . by invoking september 11th , this movie is announcing that it has something to say . new yorkers may recognize this confidence and the nothingness that follows ; it’s the film equivalent of a guy loudly demanding the attention of everyone in a subway car , then refusing to even issue a compellingly strange rant . best to slip on some headphones and try to ignore it .
one of the more “organic” cameos in stone’s film comes courtesy of anthony scaramucci , whom president trump recently installed as white house communications director . back then , before he accused trump’s senior strategist steve bannon of indulging in autofellatio , the tough - talkin’ long island native was best known as the founder of skybridge capital , an investment firm managing billions in assets , as well as the “wall street guy” who posed a question to president obama at a cnbc town hall—and was subsequently eviscerated for it by jon stewart on the daily show ( just three days prior to money never sleeps ’ theatrical premiere ) .
“hey , is this the one and only gordon gekko ? ” offers a very stiff trump , to which the conman replies , “hey , donald ! what are you talking about ? you’re the one - and - only ! ” the two , apparently old friends , make small talk , with trump repeatedly referring to gekko as “gordo . ” near the end of the one - minute scene , trump even pokes fun at his inventive hairstyle , telling gekko , “has anyone ever told you that you’d look great—really great—in a combover ? ”
sheen plays addled billionaire jeffrey cage , whose name and vague occupation have the distinction of sounding both like a nicolas cage character and nicolas cage himself ( the cage - like overacting comes much later ) . jeffrey is at the world trade center to reluctantly finalize a divorce from his wife , eve ( gina gershon ) —so reluctantly that he attends this early - morning meeting at the famous building ( where , the movie points out repeatedly but to little point , he used to own some office space , but doesn’t anymore ) just to dick around , attempt to wistfully smoke a cigarette , and refuse to sign .
jeffrey and eve enter an elevator together in the south tower at just the right / wrong fateful time . the first plane hits the north tower , the power goes out , and the unhappy couple is trapped with three strangers : “janitorial engineer” eddie ( luis guzmán ) , bike messenger michael ( wood harris ) , and apparent trophy girlfriend tina ( olga fonda ) . eddie and michael both have families waiting for them . tina , in a brief gesture that the movie somehow doesn’t spin off into a hacky explanation , indicates she does not . eddie manages some outside communication with his friend metzie ( whoopi goldberg ) , who works down at the elevator control center but doesn’t seem to know a whole lot about elevators . ( she also doesn’t seem to know how getting coffee to - go works ; early on , she pops into a diner , gets coffee in a ceramic mug , and takes it with her onto the street . )
“the preferred camera angle is mr . trump sitting front face to camera slightly favoring his right side , while avoiding left hair part and back and sides of hair and head . camera eye level or above . if any angle shots need to be taken , please only use mr . trump’s 3 / 4 right side angle shot , while still avoiding the back and sides of hair / head . lighting , warm golden lighting ( no red tones please ) . can you please include an eye light ( if shooting in high definition , eye light needs to be even more powerful ) . also , we had more success with being front lit and avoiding strong lighting behind top of hair / head ) . the result is golden blond hair , warm golden ( even tone ) tan skin and a more defined jaw - line . a great reference for mr . trump’s look is always the boardroom scenes in celebrity apprentice . can you please provide a monitor for mr . trump to see the shot before he starts . ”

great doc of promoter jerry weintraub , who put on elvis , frank , led zep , moody blues etc tours and produced films including nashville and diner . i love docs like this .
parker wasn’t an angelic figure to all . critics lambasted him for taking a large percentage of elvis’ earnings — once purported to have reached 50 % — but some acknowledge that presley might not have become an icon if it hadn’t been for parker’s packaging and marketing savvy . at the time , weintraub made it clear who the star was in the colonel and me . “it’s not going to be the elvis presley movie , ” weintraub said . “it’s my story , mine and the colonel . … i think ron shelton’s one of the finest filmmakers in the world , and i think i’m pretty good , so the combination will be meaningful . he’s the guy i think can best write and direct the story , a story that’s very close to me . ”

“there was a whole phase there where i was terrified , ” skarsgard says . “because i’ve never done anything on this scale before , and i’ve certainly never done anything where there were that many opinions of the character beforehand , fans of the tv show , fans of the book — there were so many people who had their opinions of what the character should be . and i never wanted to compete with the tim curry performance . i didn’t see a point in trying to emulate that because i don’t think i could do it as well as he did . ”
“there’s this thing that can take any shape or form , and it’s taken this shape of a clown , but there’s something wrong with the clown , ” skarsgard says . “there’s something off with it . it’s almost like there are glitches in the interpretation of it . i thought that was a fun thing to explore . so there was the wall - eyed look and at times it seems like pennywise disappears altogether , he shuts down and freezes in a moment and he’s lost . my idea was that was the entity , who lives in this other sort of dimension , tapping in and out of these spaces . ”
skarsgard also studied animal programs to help in developing the character’s physical behavior . he zeroed in on the energy of hyenas and the lower - lip scowl of bears as touchstones . then he went to work on the voice , which differs drastically from curry’s more vaudevillian interpretation .
“the voice for me sort of started out with a laugh , ” he says . “i was playing around with a laugh , but on the verge of a panic attack and crying at the same time . when i started doing it just by myself , i started to creep myself out . ”
he also got there with the help of a lot of soda water , a lot of belching , and a sudden stomach ache . but that’s an anecdote better saved for the actual conversation .

several big - ticket hollywood movies based on real - life tragedies have imagined what it would be like if a fictional romance - novel plot were taking place amid all the disaster . befitting its smaller scope and enormous tedium , 9 / 11 imagines what it would be like if a bad off - off - broadway play were taking place amid the september 11th terrorist attack on the world trade center . the answer invites bad - taste jokes before even getting to its casting of charlie sheen in a lead role .
although it’s padded with cheap reaction shots of tearful families watching tv , most of 9 / 11 alternates between the low - tech mechanics of how to get out of a stopped , locked elevator and breakfast club - style locked - room conversation . both sections feature unnaturally long pauses between lines and unsuccessful attempts to solve the problem of shooting in a small , static space by pitching the camera forward . while it’s not confined strictly to the elevator , the only location shots come from real news footage , which director martin guigui lingers on shamelessly .
sheen spends the last half - hour of the movie promising jobs and riches to the plucky minorities who do most of the actual physical labor involved in prying open elevator doors , and then , finally , unleashes some sweaty scenery - chewing as their dire situation grows worse . but ultimately these actors don’t deserve much blame , apart from their bad judgment in signing on to a movie that seems to be willing itself into existence against all reason . the screenplay by guigui and steven james golebiowski is , as the intimate setting suggests , based on a play , apparently written by patrick carson as a screenplay and later converted into a play , only to have it re - adapted into a new script .

manipuri cinema made a comeback after several years with makhonmani mongsaba ' s yenning amadi likla in the feature film section of the indian panorama , along with 20 other films .
some men , of course , are moving with the times . working with women producers is enriching and exciting ,  says makhonmani mongsaba , the award - winning director of yenning amadi likla . the six women producers of the film , he says , were very disciplined and focused . their approach towards filmmaking was personal and not commercial .
‘yenning amadi likla’ is probably the only feature film produced in the state of manipur in 2007 . yet , it was selected for the indian panorama section at the international film festival of india ( iffi ) in 2007 . even more remarkably , it is produced by six female producers who had come together to make it at a shoestring budget of rs . 18 lakhs .

but not everyone is in it for a quick buck . six women producers  saroja , shantibala , sunitibala , victoria , survi and umarani  are funding films because they want to focus on serious issues . in 2008 , they produced yenning amadi likla ( spring and dew ) , a film that dealt with the life of a poor child and a well - to - do childless couple . the film attempts to understand the mind of a child and underlines the importance of foster care ,  says umarani , also a social worker .
male filmmakers used to discourage me saying that this profession was not meant for us ,  says the producer of the critically acclaimed ahing amadi houkhrei ( night has gone ) and kubiba ( blessings ) . i have also received threat calls asking me to leave the industry .

into the feature film section of the indian panorama of the international film festival of india ( iffi ) 2007 .
the last manipuri feature film which entered into the feature section of indian panorama of iffi was a . syam sharma ' s
( the grey mare ) in 1996 . union ministry of information and broadcasting yesterday announced the list of 21 feature films and 15 non - feature films selected for the indian panorama of the international film festival of india 2007 to be held in november this year at goa .
( along the way ) were among 15 selected non - feature films . selections were made out of 119 feature films and 149 non - feature films .
the jury of feature film was headed by ks sethumadaram and non - feature by arun khopkar . makhonmani mongsaba said that his film was about a story of a nature loving child who was neglected by his parents .
the film made in 16mm and blown up in 35mm was produced by six ladies namely umarani , saroja , santibala , ibemhal , sunitibala and victoria . in short , survi is the producer . moirangthem inao penned the story . umarani , one of the producers of the film said over phone that the film could not be shown in manipur unless the film was converted into video film .
she lamented over conversion of all the cinema halls in manipur into video halls . she asked how would manipuri films survive without cinema halls . mention may be made that manipur could not produce any feature films for the last many years .
according to the central board of film certification ( cbfc ) , no manipuri feature film was produced in the year 2006 . in place of it , 62 manipuri video films were produced during the year as per the record of cbfc . haobam paban kumar said that his manipuri film
produced by the satyajit ray film & television institute , kolkata was made in 35 mm .
the film scripted by m . k . binodini was about the story of a woman who searched for freedom .
shyam sharma ' s 35 mm film made in english was produced by the films division , mumbai and scripted by m . k . binodini and shyam sharma . shyam sharma said that the film was about the story of bhagyachandra who was one of the greatest vaishnav kings of manipur .
a versatile person of immense qualities , he was an expert war strategist who wielded his sword to defend his land and people , and yet an artistic genius of divine sensibilities who gave the world the classical dance of manipuri ras .
shyam sharma was also disappointed when his documentary could not be shown to his native people in his home state due to non - availability of cinema halls in manipur where all the cinema halls were utilized as video halls .

sanatomba is an imaginative , creative and a nature - loving ten - year old . he has simple wishes , like wanting to sleep beside his father , dine with him . but he cannot , because his father is a drunkard . he always comes home drunk , fights with his mother , and slaps sanatomba for going to school . the father himself doesn’t work , but he wants his son to work in a hotel and bring home some money so that he could waste it on alcohol .
the house runs on the shoulders of his mother , but even she cannot put up with the antics of the father . one day , she leaves them . she hopes that her husband would come to his senses in her absence . meanwhile , sanatomba is distraught at his misfortune and compares it with that of thambol , the daughter of a rich , well - to - do family next door . thambol tells him that she could sleep beside both her mother and her father , and that they both love her very much .
later in the movie , the problems associated with adoption are shown , when a childless couple come across sanatomba and wish to adopt him . not only is the acceptance of both the mother and the father sought , but more importantly , of that of the child , sanatomba , who wants to see his mother .
it is a simple movie which shows how domestic violence can trouble a child , and shows it from the child’s point of view . i personally feel that because the movie has been produced by women , it does show its effect on the final product . for once , in a movie , women take up center stage , and men are put behind . this movie kind of shows how it would be if women take up filmmaking .
considering the peculiar state of film production in manipur , women coming forward to produce films is all the more remarkable . there is no state support for filmmaking , and there are no cinema halls that project on celluloid in manipur . many of them have turned into shopping malls and schools . so , to actually make a movie , in a place where there are no cinema halls , is quite daring and for women to come together and do that is totally something .

urikhinbam devita devi is home after a week - long shoot in tripura . but the manipuri superstar cant put her feet up yet . she has to get up at the crack of dawn for another bout of filming at kakching , 60 kilometres from imphal . devita , 25 , is racing against time to finish work on her second home production  gobrindage sarikmakhal ( sound of bells ) .
there is a reason devita would rather make her own films than work in others productions . i want to make meaningful cinema with women - centric roles ,  says devita who shot into fame as an actor in the 2008 film lakhipurgee lakhipyari ( lakhipyari of lakhipur ) .
like devita , more and more manipuri women are producing films . the manipuri film industry  locally known as mollywood  has so far been dominated by men . but in recent times , women have been seeking a toehold  and they are doing so by becoming producers .
in most of our films , the protagonist is a man ,  says devita . as a film producer , she feels she can change that . her 2008 hit echan , produced by her banner , ibhudhou thangjing film productions , also had a woman lead .
more than 20 of the 65 producers registered with the all manipur video film makers and producers association ( amvfmpa )  a federation of filmmakers  are women . and most of them are also successful actors .
some of the actors believe that film production is financially more viable than acting . new faces pop up every day and the bitter truth is that lead roles dont come after a point of time ,  says actor - producer saikham kamla , 24 . the best option is to become a producer to keep the cash registers ringing ,  says kamla , who formed her production house  sai media productions  two years ago after starring in over 120 films in five years . her debut production  nagsu mouni ( you are a woman too ) collected rs 6 lakh  almost double the sum she invested .
in some cases though , production is the way to finding fame as an actor . marina laihingbam was only 20 when she borrowed rs 4 lakh from her father to produce radha rani , six years ago . the film was a big hit and i earned six times the sum i had invested ,  says laihingbam , who has played the lead in eight other films she has produced so far .
another reason women are turning producers is that it doesnt take much to fund a film . compared to the big brothers  tollywood or the much bigger bollywood  the rs 4 - crore manipuri film industry runs on a small scale .
local film production picked up after the outlawed revolutionary peoples front banned the screening of bollywood films in 2001 by branding them obscene . more than 150 manipuri films are released every year . most are shot on digital tapes with budgets as low as rs 3 - 6 lakh .
in the initial years after the ban , manipuris focused on producing music albums . but in 2004 , a similar ban was imposed on music albums . since then , film production has boomed ,  says cinematographer l . surjakanta . though a large number of movies flop , youngsters still want to try their luck as even a moderately successful film can fetch them a profit of 20 to 30 per cent . in this poverty stricken state , filmmaking has become an option for earning quick fame and easy money .
the rs 18 - lakh film was critically acclaimed but a commercial dud . we couldnt earn more than rs 1 . 5 lakh ,  sighs saroja .
many of the women producers deal with issues that trouble manipuri society . sunitibala points out that the six producers future projects include films on issues such as militancy , drug abuse among youngsters and aids .
devita is planning a film on manipuri activist irom sharmila , who has been on a fast for the past 10 years demanding the repeal of the armed forces special powers act . but the film forum , a regulatory body that vets every project , has not given her permission yet for the film , she says .
another woman producer , bandana , complains that the state doesnt encourage filmmakers to focus on real issues . i wanted to make a film on growing prostitution in manipur but i didnt get permission to shoot in the red light area ,  she says .
while film production has become a career for young women in a state plagued by unrest and unemployment , the government has not been of much help to the industry . the 30 - year - old manipuri film industry , which has produced such gems as matam gee manipur , supports at least 10 , 000 families . but the film sector has been striving for a studio , film laboratory and post - production equipment . the lack of support from the government has led to a fall in the quality of films . more than 58 cinema halls are defunct now ,  says filmmaker salam birendra .
the women filmmakers also complain of gender bias . in this male dominated and conservative film industry , the sudden surge of women filmmakers is not welcomed ,  says diana potsangbam , a producer and the sole woman director in mollywood .
sociologists say it will be a while before female producers are accepted by their male counterparts as able professionals . even though women from all economic strata step out of their homes to earn a livelihood , there is barely any respect for them in our society . the film industry is no exception ,  says n . vijaylakshmi brara of the centre for manipur studies at manipur university .
amvfmpa chief ningthouja lancha says steps are being taken to encourage participation of women in filmmaking . we are organising special workshops . we would also like to propose to the state government that it provide them financial aid ,  he says .
for the present , the women are happy with the promises  and hope that they will lead to bigger dreams . i want to produce a bollywood film one day and get national recognition ,  says devita .
bollywood had better look out . in manipur , dreams often merge with reality .

panaji , dec 3 : chinese film ' the wall ' , directed by lin chih ju , has won the golden peacock award for the best film at the 38th international film festival of india ( iffi ) , which came to a close today .
the awards were announced in the presence of the distinguished jury which comprised of hungarian filmmaker marta meszaros , noted argentinian filmmaker pablo cesar , new zealand director robert sarkies and one of india ' s most respected filmmakers shaji n karun .
noted bengali filmmaker buddhadeb dasgupta was the chief guest at the 11 - day festival which was inaugurated by bollywood superstar shah rukh khan here on november 23 .
though this year iffi had its share of controversies , it was still acknowledged as a smooth event and marked improvement over the previous years , both in terms of the arrangements and quality of films selected for various sections of the festivals and overall atmosphere .
the directorate of film festival received praise from no less a person than celebrated filmmaker adoor gopalakrishnan for giving ' a sort of character ' to it .
he , however stressed the need for handling it more professionally and promoting it more intensively to give it an international reputatiion .
in this context , it was learnt from official sources that the government was actively considering floating a body with members drawn from the dff , esg and other bodies concerned like the nfdc and films division , to handle the affairs of iffi throughout the year .
the new computerised ticketing system for delegates introduced this time was a success and helped in avoiding large queues .
however , friction betwen the dff , which is under the union ministry of information and broadcasting and the state government backed goa entertainment society in certain spheres , was evident .
the festival began with the screening of palme d ' or winning romanian film ' ' four months , three weeks and two days ' ' by c istian mungiu . malyalam film ' ore kadal ' directed by shyamaprasad had opened the feature films section of the indian panorama while ' bagher bacha ' ( bengali ) directed by bishnu dev halder was the inaugural film of the non - feature section of the festival .
during the festival , films by celebrated filmmakers from all over the world were screened .
among the highlights of the festival was the premiere of the amitabh starrer ' the last lear ' ( english ) dircted by noted bengali filmmaker ritupurno ghosh . the film has already been premiered in the toronto film festival .
pakistani film ' khuda kay liye ' in which naseeruddin shah makes a guest appearance , also evoked great interest among the delegates .
directed by shoaib mansoor , the thought - provoking drama focused on the dilemma of progressive muslims in the country because of their modern approach towards life .
apart from the first pakistani entry in the iffi in the competition section , georgia also made its debut in the prestigious event with its film ' svani ' .
this time 14 films , including two indian , from 13 countries , competed for the prestigious golden peacock award , which carries a medal and rs 10 lakh . the best director award went to pongpat wachirabunjong of thailand for his film ' me myself ' . a special jury award was shared by bangladesh film director golam rabanny biplab for his film ' on the wings of dreams ' and child artiste urbili for ' more than anything in the world ' .
the competition section had films from asian , african and latin american countries . they were ' on the wings of dreams ' by golam rabbany biplab ( bangladesh ) , ' me myself ' by pongpat wachirabunjong ( thailand ) , ' the debt ' by assaf bernstein ( israel ) , ' the satanic angels ' by ahmed boulane ( morocco ) , ' a ton of luck ' by rodrigo triana ( columbia ) , ' the postmodern life of my aunt ' by ann hui ( china ) , ' the wall ' by lin chin ju ( taiwan ) , ' olga , victoria olga time without time ' by mercedes farriols ( argentina ) , ' mas que a nada en el mundo ' by andrs leon becker ( mexico ) , ' cruel embrace ' by anuradha jaisinghe ( sri lanka ) , ' svani ' by soso and badri jachvliani ( georgia ) and ' ek nadir galpo ' by samir chanda and ' rathrimazha ' by lenin rajendran ( both from india ) .
the hindi cinema was represented by ' dharm ' directed by bhavna talwar and ' gafla ' directed by sameer hanchate .
as a special tribute to noted film directors tapan sinha and vijay anand special retrospectives of their films titled ' lest we forget ' and ' an eternal romantic - - vijay anand ' , were screened , besides retrospectives of ingmar bergman and three landmark kannada films by a generation of filmmakers inspired by a literary movement ' navya movement ' in kannada languages , also called the ' literary modernism will ' .
the festival also screened films as a homage to veteran music director op nayyar , marathi actress vanamala devi , renowned cinematographer k k mahajan and veteran manipuri director aribam syam sharma ' s film ' ishanou ' .
celebrated malyalam director adoor gopalakrishnan ' s films featured in the master classes section of the festival .
in addition , three films curated by the goa government and four by the films division were screened in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the country ' s independence .
the festival also had four films on aids awareness directed by noted filmmakers mira nair , vishal bhardwaj , santosh sivan and farhan akhtar in the film india worldwide sectiion introduced in the festival for the first time .
apart from this , aribam syam sharma ' s 58 - minute documentary ' ' rajarshi bhagyachandra of manipur ' ' and haobam paban kumar ' s 19 - minute short fiction ' ' ngaihak lambida ' ' were among the 15 non - feature films .
similarly , the absence of bollywood megastar amitabh bachchan at the special screening of his first english film ' the last lear ' also raised eyebrows renewing speculations about the continuing reported confrontation between the legendary actor and the central government . however , information and broadcasting minister priya ranjan dasmunsi wondered why the issue was raised in the media .
' ' amitabh is an icon and the face of the indian film industry in india and abroad . he was honoured with a national award for his performance recently , ' ' he said .
while the dff maintained that the cast and crew of participating films in the festival were always welcome and did not need special invitations .
the festival passed off peacefully except for a women organisations ' demonstration in goa against the sale of liquor on the festival premises including setting up of a media lounge by a well known liquor brand for making available hard drinks free of cost to journalists . the media lounge was closed after protests from the goa union of journalists ( guj ) .
