what is the question that drives the action of the story ? simple examples of such questions are will the boy win the girl ? or will the boy ever meet his hero ? the question of the film should be answered in some way by the conclusion of the film – even if the answer is ambiguous . the question of a short film can be tiny and very simple .

the cast and creative team of netflix ’s “ dear white people ” turned out thursday evening for the series’ premiere at the downtown independent in los angeles . creator / executive producer justin simien , director barry jenkins , and star logan browning were just a fraction of the stars who graced the red carpet .
night of the living dead was romero ' s first attempt at a feature film , produced on a shoe - string budget of $ 114 , 000 scraped together by a group of friends .
despite critical backlash over violence considered grotesque and grisly for its day , the film went on to gross over $ 18million , and has been considered a cult classic and halloween favorite ever since .
the film is a fictionalised account of the mayhem that transpired in the days following the death of the russian dictator josef stalin in 1953 , adapted from fabien nury’s graphic novel of the same name .
“we will either make the film or we won ' t or we will have the musical on stage - we will have an ice ballet or the downton opera but as a television series it is finished .
but buffy had originally seen the light of day five years earlier , in a feature film script , which whedon had sold to the director - producer team fran and kaz kuzui . the first buffy film emerged in 1992 , with kristy swanson as the eponymous vampire killer alongside luke perry and rutger hauer , but scored only moderate returns . whedon is known to have been less than happy with the film . after he was approached to turn the concept into a tv series , the kazuis acted as hands - off executive producers alongside him . it was very much whedon ' s show , but the kuzuis ' retained their rights .
ask yourself – what type of film will this be made into ? and what will the audience expect from a film in this genre ? this is not about crushing experimentation or creativity but more as a reminder to self as you proceed , that your original goal was to write a short screenplay that scared / moved / amused / shocked the audience . when you get stuck , you can go back to this intention to remind yourself of your original goal .
julian adds that he would not consider making another series of the itv drama , even if the plans for its film fall through , as he admits it will be difficult to juggle the schedules of the show’s hollywood bound actors .

romero passed away in his sleep at his toronto home on sunday , listening to his favorite film score from 1952 ' s the quiet man , surrounded by his wife suzanne and daughter tina , his family confirmed to the los angeles times .
the new film ' s producers may have reason to fear anger among buffy fans . the power of the community was demonstrated after whedon ' s 2002 sci - fi series firefly was dropped after only 11 episodes by its parent network , fox .
well , thanks to entertainment weekly we have our answer . ew recently brought together co - creator susie lewis and character designer karen disher to imagine what life is like for daria and her lawndale friends two decades on , and let’s just say that the 2017 iteration of the cast does not disappoint . many have moved on from their suburban beginnings to evolve into … well , adult versions of their teenage selves .
the series , which airs every thursday , will follow the rapper learning how to do new things . in this debut episode , below , he creates a 58 - second film . you can fast - forward to the 20 : 25 mark to watch it .
he suggests the film could follow the characters’ stories 30 years prior to where the series started , as a prequel - which allows for a different cast , depicting cook mrs patmore - currently played by lesley nicol - starting out in the kitchen of the abbey .
here , we ultimately find tyler delving into the world of stop - motion video . the inaugural 22 - minute episode then sees the 26 - year - old creative gaining insight from the director of legendary stop - motion and live - action animation film , james and the giant peach .
warner bros had approached rowling about using the book for a film , from which she pitched
an idea that [ she ] couldn ' t dislodge
. [ 3 ] upon returning to harry potter for the first time since 2007 , rowling commented :
i always said that i would only revisit the wizarding world if i had an idea that i was really excited about and this is it .
[ 3 ] she stated that the idea of seeing scamander
realised by another author was difficult ,
hence her decision to be the film ' s screenwriter .
jacob kowalski ( played by dan fogler [ 15 ] ) –
an optimistic no - maj ( aka muggle ) factory worker / aspiring baker who gets introduced to the wizarding world when he meets newt .
[ 14 ] he begins the film post break - up and develops a crush on queenie . [ 11 ]
tom hardy as rick flag : “i think that ' s a very interesting choice . again , tom hardy is a very versatile actor . what i am really impressed by with all of the casting is that they are getting some very good actors to play these parts . that means warner bros . is very serious about this movie . they are serious about the concept … i think hardy is an excellent actor . jared leto as the joker ? oh , my . this is his first film since winning an academy award ! that ' s pretty high profile for a film called
suicide squad .
they are taking this very seriously . [ laughs ] ”
the following is a list of the relevant characters who appeared in the film , most of whom ( as of now , the only known exceptions are newt scamander and porpentina goldstein , who are mentioned on the fantastic beasts and where to find them book ) are completely original to this work and never mentioned anywhere else in canon before .
moving on to the story , it sounds like the studio is going with some major concepts used in ostrander’s comic run , putting a dirty dozen spin on the story of villains forced to do good in hopes of earning their freedom . it’s the same concept we’ve previously seen on arrow , and ostrander think it’s the perfect setup for a tentpole film :
a london critic once described a stage performance by peter o ' toole as his
douglas bader imitation ,
a reference to the battle of britain hero who walked on two artificial legs . o ' toole gives another bader performance in
creator ,
lurching perilously through a chemistry laboratory and bludgeoning everyone around him with his lethal charm . it is the same sort of performance he gave in
my favorite year
and
the stunt man
- indeed , it is the basic performance he seems to be giving this decade - and , as usual , it works .
“i hope there will be a film . it will be sad if we don’t do one . most films are a punt and we have a solid audience waiting for it . the difficulty is rounding up the actors who have now gone off to the four corners of the earth , in hollywood , on broadway , doing plays , doing series and so on . ”
the series has added many new faces to the “dear white people” roster , but to those involved with the original film , getting a chance to revisit winchester university and tell more stories is a “dream come true , ” especially for simien . he noted : “i don’t know that i expect my dreams to come true , but it’s a trip when they do . ”
after visiting with animation experts ( including the team behind adult swim ' s robot chicken series ) , tyler creates a short stop motion film of his own . and he brought along his buddy jasper to help voice one of the characters . the short clip , which took four weeks to make , can be seen at the end of the episode ( at the 20 : 26 mark ) .
set within the posh , white - washed winchester university , “ dear white people ” explores racism — both systemic and overt — that takes place at the fictional ivy league college , while also discussing identity politics and intersectionality . based on the 2014 film of the same name , the show picks up right where the movie left off . according to simien , there was “so much more to say and write” for the beloved characters .
“there was a lot of ‘oh , i wish i had touched upon that ! ’ or wishing gone deeper into some plot lines after the movie wrapped , ” simien stated . “the series speaks to this time in a unique way . we were in a transitional period when the film came out — i feel like 21st - century activism was just beginning to reach a viral peak — and we needed to talk about that . ”
you may also like to clarify for yourself what tone and style you have in mind , as this will influence the way you write your action and your dialogue . in the end the tone will be dictated by the director and the performances he / she elicits from actors , but the screenplay still establishes the foundations of the film’s ultimate tone by choices made by the writer in their characters , plot , direction ( or big print ) , symbolism and dialogue .
mike goodridge , the editor of the trade paper screen international , feels it is too soon to write the film off .
charles roven is pretty cool . he ' s the man that made the batman movies with chris nolan , so he knows what he ' s doing – and lots of people were against that at the time . remember , buffy was nothing as a movie , and the audiences are very different from tv – warner know that people have an appetite for revamps . i think it ' s a great idea .
this is a movie which manages to capture the feeling of love . it is a movie that shows decent and loving people being extremely human with each other . there is a kindness that permeates throughout the movie which makes it a pleasure to watch . the movie creates a warm feeling inside like very few other movies can . cousine , cousine ( french version ) is another movie that also reaffirms the joy of being human , even though the characters and story may not be totally believable . the main characters in the creator are people you want to be friends with . the movie uses humor and some great and thoughtful lines to remind the viewer that life really is about love . even the music by giovanni adds to the feeling of warmth that is constant in this movie . as other people have said i can tell you from experience that this is the type of movie you show a potential mate and see how they react . one of my very favorite movies .
“it sounds like they are going with my original concept , which is that these are bad guys , and in order to earn their freedom , they have to go on missions , in which they could be killed . i ' ve even read that they are talking about that as the film , as well . which i think is a good one . my original pitch to dc was the secret society of super - villains meets ‘the dirty dozen . ’ this sounds like they are fully behind the whole ‘dirty dozen’ concept . these are people that will get pardoned if they survive a very risky mission . ”

stephen c . meyer presents the scientific case for intelligent design based upon evidence from biochemistry and the genetic code .
so , it was fitting that stop motion was the first topic he explored on his new viceland show , which is centered around the loose premise of :
tyler finds out how things are made .
on the first episode—which you can watch for free in its entirety above—tyler explains why he loves cartoons so much , saying ,
i draw almost every day . i love cartoons . cartoons just do whatever . you could blow a house up and a dog could come out speaking english like , ' goddamnit , they blew my house up . ' and get in a car and drive . that ' s awesome .

legendary night of the living dead director and father of the zombie movie george a . romero dies aged 77 following a ' brief but aggressive battle with lung cancer '
his death came following a ' brief but aggressive battle with lung cancer , his family said .
pictured : the balcony where walking dead stuntman , 33 , fell . . .
romero went on to make a slew of sequels , including 1978’s dawn of the dead , 1985’s day of the dead , 1990’s land of the dead , 2007’s diary of the dead and 2009’s survival of the dead .
born in the bronx on february 4 , 1940 to a cuban father and lithuanian mother , romero graduated from pittsburgh ' s carnegie mellon university and began his career as a filmmaker shooting commercials and short films .
one of his earliest jobs was a short segment for the popular children ' s show mr . rogers ' neighborhood .
despite the movie ' s low budget and simple effects , audiences - many of them young teens - were terrified when the movie ran in october of 1968 as a saturday matinee , then the traditional slot for horror films .
in later years , many came to see in night of the living dead critiques of everything from the vietnam war to cold war politics and race relations in america , noting romero ' s choice to cast a black man in the lead role .
as the zombie fiction genre has exploded in recent decades , romero was sometimes critical of it ' s direction , noting that he ' d declined an offer to direct several episodes of the amc series the walking dead .
' i always used the zombie as a character for satire or a political criticism , and i find that missing in what’s happening now , ' he told the big issue in 2013 .
the walking dead , romero said , is ' just a soap opera with a zombie occasionally . '
romero is survived by his son andrew and daughter tina , and wife suzanne desrocher romero , whom he met on set while filming land of the dead .

considering his comic is being loosely adapted with a pile of hollywood a - listers attached , ostrander sounded psyched to see how the stars bring the baddies to life . here are some excerpts from his comments :
will smith as deadshot : “i see it . i definitely see it . the thing you have to consider is that movies are different and separate entities from comics . they have different needs , and they have to find ways to get a lot of people into seats . to the general public , deadshot as a character is not well known , so they wouldn ' t really notice any difference . of course , the people doing the movies want to have the biggest star that they can , because that will help draw people into the movie . understanding all of that , i have no problem with the casting .
we’ve been leery of dc’s plans in the past , but you have to admire the ambition to sign on such a big - time cast for a relatively low - tier property . if nothing else , we are extremely curious to hear more — plus , it doesn’t hurt that ostrander is cautiously optimistic .

i limited myself to movies with 2016 timestamps , thus eliminating titles such as knight of cups , cemetery of splendour and cosmos ( all 2015 ) . the lodge kerrigan - amy seimetz television series the girlfriend experience ( 2016 ) also deserves consideration alongside anything released theatrically .

the film crew taken the next level of advertising by asking the viewers who watch the film by pirated copies to pay the amount to particular bank account number kindly .
2016 has been roundly terrible . even vine , one of the greatest sources of creative expression for young ( black ) talent , didn’t survive .
anthony hopkins really is a prime example of that rare breed of actor whose magnetic presence can lift a film a few notches . with colin farrell also on board , the film boasts a strong cast that makes you wonder why the film bypassed cinemas here .

i don’t think that 2016 was a great year for film – or anything else , for that matter – but here are the ones i most enjoyed , a - z . i’m happy that my list includes two female directors , an old favourite back on form , a ( mostly ) b & w subtitled film and a healthy dose of horror .
a netflix original documentary film about life coach tony robbins , i am not your guru follows robbins and his team for six days . joe berlinger and his film crew go behind the scenes of robbins’s annual seminar in boca raton , fla . , to examine the event — from its production to its impact . in addition to helping the seminar’s 2 , 500 attendees , robbins counsels more than 200 , 000 people a year . the film captures his methods and his approach to achieving success .
“expertly crafted…meticulous…it’s the class struggle in a nutshell . ” — giovanni marchini camia , the film stage
“a film swimming in symbolism , transgressive eroticism and perplexing detail . ” — ben nicholson , cinevue
arnold’s film perhaps most expressly gives vibrant voice to the socially disenfranchised , yet in magnifying and caressing the everyday plight of a middle - aged woman most storytellers would relegate to the sidelines , hansen - løve’s exquisite starting - over study – my favourite film of 2016 , though i’m not inclined to rank any further – feels just as pointed and gracefully subversive .
for the year 2015 , sanjay jadhav didn���t have a good time , as both his films ���pyaarwali love story��� and ���tu hi re��� not achieving expected success . so , for sanjay , it is very necessary to begin the new year with a bang , as he has two more big projects , to handle during 2016 . luckily , for ���guru��� he has his ���duniyadari��� lucky star

one of my most significant film experiences this year was watching ghostbusters , not because it was an exceptionally good film ( it wasn’t ) , but because it was thrillingly groundbreaking : a mainstream non - romantic comedy sci - fi starring women . growing up in the 80s my movie heroes were the male ghostbusters , marty mcfly , ferris bueller ; i’m pleased that the kids of 2016 have more diverse options .
a great year for cinema , and i still haven’t seen albert serra’s new film . in no particular order :
another is eduardo williams’ truly radical and new the human surge , another undistributable film in the most honorable sense .
“continually revealing in its bevy of details…a beautiful , transcendent viewing experience . ” — nick newman , the film stage
while entering the cinema hall to watch guru , one is bound to have apprehensions about the film ; firstly because it sees ankush chaudhary and sanjay jadhav collaborating again and more importantly because jadhav ` s earlier films have been panned for being repetitive . thankfully , this one isn ` t like that although it borrows some trademarks of the director ` s style .
running simultaneously with sxsw interactive and sxsw music , film festival attendees have the opportunity to connect with tech and music industry experts , making the sxsw film festival an unparalleled experience at the forefront of discovery , creativity , and innovation .
please note : this trailer does not have english subtitles . our screenings of the film will be subtitled in english .
tony robbins : i am not your guru a feature documentary film about internationally renowned life and business strategist tony robbins , is a revelatory cinema - verite film that goes behind the scene of his mammoth seminar date with destiny , attended by over 2 , 500 people in boca raton , florida each year , to give an insider look at how one man can affect millions . granted never before seen access to the behind the scenes machinations of this mega - event , this film captures both the immense effort of producing this live seminar as well as the life changing transformations of the participants in real time .

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 .
making films in 2016 helped quench my ongoing thirst for cinema . i was so busy working that i missed arabian nights , son of saul and fire at sea , but i’ll see them some tuesday afternoon in 2019 .
2016 felt like a solid year , especially since my hope at the beginning of each year is to be inundated by films that are both able to inspire and to take a risk or and to challenge mainstream cinematic languages .
though it premiered in 2015 , roberto minervini’s the other side ( which appears to have only had theatrical runs starting in 2016 ) is both startlingly formally accomplished and a rarely insightful film on angry , economically dispossessed white americans at the nexus of severe drug abuse , racism and anti - government paranoia – it’s essential , explanatory viewing for the vile trump era .
oh yeah they were also all made by women , first feature or first mid length film . but first they are great films .
my preferred films from 2016 are all great essay films ( of one kind or another ) . these days i’m not remotely systematic when it comes to contemporary film viewing generally . but i do keep a relatively close cinephile eye on new essay film production , perhaps especially as someone interested in the essayistic forms of audiovisual expression increasingly being produced in and around academia . i particularly loved the illinois parables , a brilliantly made work by experimental documentarian deborah stratman , who is also associate professor in the school of art
we all know ankush chaudhari for his versatile acting and in this film also audience will get treat of his different look and new dialogues .
it was announced a few weeks ago that srk and rohit shetty are producing a marathi film to be helmed by sanjay jadhav . after watching
tony robbins ' clients swear by his unorthodox life coaching methods . a revealing film goes behind the curtain at his annual mega - event .
the odd one out in the women - themed group is la la land , arguably the most dazzling film of the year . accomplished in every aspect , it’s both a homage to and a rewriting of hollywood’s classic musicals . while in whiplash damien chazelle explored the dark side of artistic virtue , in his second film he denies his characters a conventional happy ending . only the harshest cynics will resist this film’s bittersweet charm .
constantly impressive in its ability to seamlessly weave footage exposing views of the political spectrum , a german youth offers perhaps the strongest narrative experience of the entire [ 2016 art of the real ] festival .

napoleon’s digital reincarnation was undoubtedly the archive film event of the year , followed by a new box set of films by african - american cinema pioneers . as a silent film advocate , i am intrigued to hear reports that hollywood blockbusters are cutting back on dialogue . the execs over there should look to studio ghibli’s the red turtle as an example of how to make a modern , and excellent , film without speech at all .
the trailer is filled with lots of fun , comedy , style , music , dance and action . guru played by ankush is a conman , earning his livelihood by manipulating rich people but is also the king of hearts in his neighbourhood along with his lady love mango dolly aka urmila kanitkar - kothare .
for here or to go ? movie review : ali fazal and omi vaidya ' s film has potential to touch a nerve but . . .
2016 was the year of the woman and so on this occasion it was important for me to focus in on five outstanding films made by female filmmakers at various stages of their careers . an honourable queer mention must go to cemetery of splendour by apichatpong weerasethakul . my festival highlights were listening to lizzie borden tells us about the making of born in flames at the london film festival and donna deitch present desert hearts at bfi flare . my film season highlights were dissent and disruption : the complete alan clarke at the bfi and laura mulvey
spielberg’s the bfg may be the funniest , spookiest , most exquisitely crafted children’s film since the wizard of oz . even its farting scenes are witty .
this outstanding icelandic debut feature film is a coming - of - age / family drama work that excels in its narrative arch , acting and cinematography .
it aims to be a good family film for the summer movie season , and it fits right in with the buttery popcorn i ate while watching it .
special events live soundtracks , cult re - issues & much more . our special events section offers unusual , unexpected & unique one - off film events .
i have smuggled on to the list one film revived from the past : the brick and the mirror ( 1965 ) , which is by far the most stylistically daring film i have revisited ( and occasionally presented and screened ) in 2016 . golestan’s bleak masterpiece , arguably the best of iranian pre - revolutionary cinema , captures an atmosphere of political anxiety and paranoia and transforms it into a timeless image of any society governed and manipulated on the basis of fear of the other – more or less a mirror held in front of us at this troubled moment in the 21st century .

serra’s film doesn’t mock or make heavy weather of the notorious layers upon layers of ritual and protocol that distinguished the royal court at versailles . but throughout we are sharply aware of the stark dichotomy between the corporeal presence of the king – a dying , rotting body which will be dissected and dismantled by royal surgeons at the end of the film – and the idealised nature of the ‘royal body’ as pure symbol… for his latest ‘sacred monster’ study , serra has made a film in a somewhat classic mode – ‘classic’ in the sense of contained , stately , solemn – and a film that is extremely beautiful and even moving , in a rigorously detached way .
toni erdmann is another film that takes genre and drags it , kicking and screaming , somewhere else . its ‘flaws’ , or rather , foibles , are what gives it some kick . seeing that in a packed 1 , 600 - seat house at the vancouver international film festival was a highlight of the year , no question .
the film event of the year was the complete retrospective of the films of jean - marie straub and danièle huillet at the museum of modern art , new york .
all lists are provisional , but this one includes variety at least . the albert serra film shown at the london film festival was an incredible delight , an unexpected and inventive response to constraint , and a chance for actors to show what they could do with not much at all , and what they could do was very good .
warm human drama . . . gay shows that it ' s possible to entertain a crowd and say something significant .

my selection of five films is more of a cake slice than a ‘best of 2016’ . it shows the dense abundance of reality that we occupy as a narrative source , from data to diaries , and the pictorial and temporal frames through which these layered sources can be represented on screen .
and finally cameraperson… kirsten johnson discovers a profound , personal and political nonfiction cinema in discarded and unwanted images , odds and ends , widows and orphans . if i had to shoot one movie into space to sum up this crazy , chaotic , hurting world in 2016 it would be this one .
a buoyant , summery tale . . . green is a master , and this may be his most pleasurable film to date .

for nine days in march , creatives of all stripes gather for the acclaimed sxsw film program to celebrate raw innovation and emerging talent both behind and in front of the camera .
one of my other choices here stands for the two lav diaz films i saw in 2016 , the other being the flawed , wayward a lullaby to the sorrowful mystery , but my vote for his venice prize - winner is also a vote for an exemplary continuing adventure in filmmaking as passionate mission . other films that made 2016 for me included : the untamed , the son of joseph , personal shopper , elle , fire at sea , paterson , ivo ferreira’s underrated letters from war , nele wohlatz’s joyously deadpan comedy about language the future perfect , bertrand bonello’s dazzling if contentious nocturama , and the first marvel film i’ve cared about in a long time , doctor strange – which , like jeff nichols’s midnight special , represented a vote of faith in the screen possibilities of the digital sublime .
no film this year was more formally enlivening than fraud . once its central characters began to set fire to their own house , i had absolutely no idea what i was watching .
finely chiseled and superbly played . . . the film bristles with humor , mostly drawn from life , and illuminating moments of irony .

these were the films i saw in 2016 that made my heart beat faster ( in a good way ) than any of the others i saw . these films made me come away from the cinema with my head buzzing , offering the cinefile’s favourite sensation of having seen a film that gives you food for thought for days afterwards . craft and hard graft . yep . ambitious texturing and layering . yep . editing ellipsis to create story . yep . gripping to the last frame . totally .
most of the film is bits of action cut together in flashy fashion . it was clear the filmmakers got scared of the lack of success of batman v superman and started cutting and re - shooting , turning this film is something completely different from what it should have been . character depth and story got lost to make way for pretty action and forced comic relief .
the hateful eight would have been no 6 – a major admission from a tarantinophobe like me . elsewhere , the barrier between film and television seems increasingly arbitrary , and not just because of the big netflix originals : a four - parter such as c4’s national treasure is a film in all respects – script , direction , camerawork , performances – except means of delivery .
i’ve restricted my five to 2016 , and there are a lot i haven’t yet seen . revelations from the past were two silent films by frank borzage : back pay and the pride of palomar ( both 1922 ) . they make you understand once again why those who’d known only silent cinema resisted the coming of sound .
other than being completely predictable , there is no major fault with the graph of the film . in fact , it could have been enjoyable for a larger audience bracket if presented on a lower key . but that’s not the directorial intent . the film is designed to imitate the current crop of south indian ( action - comedy - masala ) films , or their bollywood counterparts like
an examination of the ethics of nonfiction filmmaking by way of a first - person diary film , featuring outtakes from 25 years’ worth of documentaries shot by fahrenheit 9 / 11 cinematographer kirsten johnson .
wilder and freer than the more classical stranger by the lake , the film literally reinvents itself from scene to scene , and yet somehow feels all of a piece . brilliantly , blackly comic .

with new perspective on the forces , thoughts , and feelings that motivate their behavior and help them take control of their lives . pulling back the curtain on tony robbins , a man that traverses the globe and counsels over 200 , 000 people annually , including world leaders , pundits , entrepreneurs , ceos , athletes and celebrities , through interviews and unprecedented access , tony robbins : i am not your guru is an emotional tour de force that unveils the inner - workings of this mega event , the zealous participants and the man himself .
those are topics for another film to pursue , however — definitely not the one berlinger is making here . the occasional questions he asks robbins during seminar breaks , or at the subject’s palm beach home , are pointed enough but lack depth or follow - through . near the end , robbins himself shrugs that no one would be interested in a movie about him — i . e . , his life and career off the podium . that may well be a faux - humble evasion , and is wrong besides . but it deftly acquits “i am not your guru” of any responsibility in peeking behind the wizard’s curtain .
, this film is exactly what you expect it to be , and you will probably love it . also , you can stop reading here . for the rest of you , there is more .
at best , the film is a rorschach testimonial , lionizing its subject while offering enough objectivity to allow non - believers to opt out . at worst , it ' s a very long infomercial .
as powerful an experience as the theatrical version of notes on blindness was , the virtual reality experience was doubly so . whether 2016 stands as ‘the year that vr broke’ ( however you wish to interpret this ) or not , here is a project that lays down a real marker for its potential to tell meaningful stories – including documentary ones .
i don’t like to take an elitist position , and firmly believe that a fair review must consider the target audience the film is made for . every reader who bothers to read the review is a potential audience member and expects the reviewer to clue him in about the experience . to achieve this , one needs to keep a clear mind and a neutral point of view when watching anything . with a film like
for its rich layers and hypnotic sensuousness . based on a deeply personal play by tarell alvin mccraney , barry jenkins’ film is a brilliant exploration of the relationships that have a profound impact on protagonist chiron’s destiny .
dog eat dog and elle were the most flagrant , entertaining films of the year . both elle and things to come proved that all you need to make a great film are isabelle huppert and a cat .
a thought - provoking film that plays with its storytelling tools to delve into human psychology , the aftermath of disaster , and how we can survive through small everyday ways .
— sarah jilani , filmdoo
my favourite film of the year contained many such moments , not least its lightning - in - a - bottle opening title sequence , in which the entirety of human existence seemed effortlessly distilled into a single sneeze .
finally , the moment laurent lafitte pulled isabelle huppert from a totalled car in elle , paul verhoeven declared himself ready to answer the questions laid out in his most unfairly maligned film , the enduringly provocative hollow man .
a lovely portrait of the past . . . ritesh batra ' s second film finds the simple beauty in julian barnes ' novel , with the help of a stellar cast .

“tony robbins : i am not your guru” goes behind the scenes of tony robbins’ annual seminar , date with destiny . every year in florida , over 2 , 500 people attend robbins’ most intimate and intensive event , which last six days and nights . robbins gave the crew access to the event itself , as well as its production , daily regimen and the inner workings of the creative team . berlinger stated that his goal “was to share a profound experience that i myself underwent . while the event itself may not be for everyone , i hope my approach will help audiences think about the nature of their own lives as they witness the transformations of the characters in the film . ”
the accountant should be a straight - ahead thriller , but the film keeps tripping over its own incompetent feet . maybe it was made for adults , but it sure doesn ' t feel like it was made by them .
the first edge - of - my - seat western i’d seen since the 1970s – literate , harrowing , masterfully melding puckish humour and scalding horror ; a film , like deliverance , that one leaves feeling like a survivor .
very enjoyable . . . this film is not just for foodies ( although it’s totally for them ) , but also for those who just enjoy watching people do what they love .

tony robbins is a # 1 new york times best - selling author , entrepreneur , and philanthropist . for more than 38 years , mr . robbins has empowered more than 50 million people from 100 countries through his life training programs and live events , like date with destiny , as featured in the film tony robbins : i am not your guru . he created the # 1 personal and professional development program of all time , and more than 4 million people have attended his live seminars . as the nation ' s # 1 life and business strategist , his expertise has been called upon by some of the world ' s finest athletes , entertainers , fortune 500 ceos , and even presidents of nations .
the hero is autistic , a wizard at math , an expert at martial arts and an ultra - skilled sniper who is leading a double life . but all this is not enough to make the accountant a film worth seeing .
my two favourite film events of the year both happened in the first week of november : john carpenter playing his scores live at the troxy and carl davis conducting the bfi’s digital restoration of napoleon live at the royal festival hall .
so we have a couple of highly inventive , beautiful documentaries ; sarah pucill’s second adaptation of claude cahun’s writings , capturing the fragmented poetry of its source ; and tscherkassky’s exquisite corpus , which ( like morrison’s ) is a film about film , using archive material . i don’t know if i can conclude from this that conventional narrative is , at this point , one of the least interesting approaches , or if it’s just one of the least interesting to me .
two sights in christine epitomised that film’s examination of the precarious ties that bind us to this world : the anguish on rebecca hall’s face mid - argument , and the loneliness of maria dizzia’s final singalong in the face of death .
among the other highlights of my cinema - going year was a season of ozu films at flagey cinematek in brussels : calm , humane and exquisitely crafted – just the thing to offset the horrors of 2016 and remind one of the better , more civilised world that does still exist , even if it’s only on the screen . if anyone needs me , i’ll be drinking kirin in the luna bar .
all’s well that ends well in this good - hearted romantic comedy that kicks off malta’s current tenure in the presidency of the european union . when sophie ( meli ) , a career woman focused on making her fledgling pr firm thrive , gives her gold - digger fiancé the boot , her imperious granny , who holds the wealthy family’s purse strings , sets the 30 - year - old a deadline to get married or forfeit her inheritance . it’s a rollicking plot that mixes it up with a gardener with a secret plan , a cheating bombshell of a sister , a weak - willed dad , and a bumbling matchmaker priest . the film represents an early step in fostering an indigenous maltese film industry ; it was produced through a training program initiated by the malta film commission and made possible through funds awarded by the european social fund . in english and maltese with english subtitles . courtesy of the malta film commission . dcp digital .

tom ford’s second film , based on the book tony and susan by austin wright , follows a los angeles gallery owner who is shaken by the arrival of a novel by her ex that imagines a couple who come to a violent end .
sadly , however , the year’s most memorable event was the shocking , perhaps wholly avoidable death of abbas kiarostami , for me and many others the greatest artist working in film over the last few decades . what a terrible loss to cinema .

similarities and connections are one thing , but solace seems to grasp at straws and force - link everything when it isn ' t necessary . solace is this damaged and lackluster film that sometimes tip - toes in the category of a beautiful disaster .
manchester by the sea is as flat and grey as boston – the palette of grief is unchangingly colourless . yet no matter how it looks from the outside , lonergan takes care to show the many shades of emotion that bereavement encompasses… the way affleck , hedges and williams inhabit his characters in all of their complicated , uncomfortable sadness is the film’s strength , making the time spent with them an exercise in human grace – and as pleasurable a viewing experience as a film about death could hope to be .
and how’s this for a magic moment : i watched chimes at midnight in welles’s daughter’s house , then she made me leftovers frittata . as justice shallow says in the first line of the film , “jesus , the days that we have seen . ”
my most cinematic moment of the year has to be a restoration of the 1922 version of nosferatu accompanied by its original score played by the regional symphonic orchestra of the city i was born in , during the local film festival of seminci . haunting .
“the charming , rousing wwii romance their finest is a film that openly stumps for two causes : the value of women in the workplace , and the power of cinema to tell stories that people need to hear . ” — noel murray , the playlist
2016 : year of the unedifying spectacle . brexit in the uk , trumpism in the us , turkey’s dissent - crackdown , brazil’s five - ring circus of vicious inequality , russia’s hydra - headed poisoning of the global body - politic… and lav diaz landing main - jury prizes at both berlin and venice . diaz’s trophies – small beer in the wider scheme of things , of course – consecrate artistic narrative cinema’s blind dance into moribundity .
the accountant is bolstered by its intricate character played by affleck as well as its sophisticated tropes and reveals . while its plot may be a bit too extensive and prolong the film still supplies the drama and efforts of being more than solid . 4 / 5
in “tony robbins : i am not your guru , ” an immersive look at his 2014 seminar in boca raton , fla . , so much is lobbed that this almost fawning documentary plays at times like a horror movie . there is something almost vampiric about this public siphoning of hurt , from the self - loathing of a suicidal young man to the devastating anguish of a woman who survived a childhood of sex slavery . is she on the road to being healed , we wonder , or has she just exchanged one possible cult for another ?
also to note for 2016 is the red spider ( marcin koszałka ) , an impressive story of a young man fascinated by the impulse of evil . curumim ( marcos prado ) is a shocking documentary about champion paraglider and drug dealer marco ‘curumim’ archer . in the last days of the city ( tamer el said ) beautifully captures the mood of a city , cairo , and of its people during such a troubled historical period for egypt .
jarmusch’s taste for ordinary vibrant things – such as a perfect box of matches – is here the launchpad for a droll and lovely diary film that captures a week in the life of our couple . it’s an exquisitely modest , heartfelt film with a quietly moving way with gags – pure jarmusch , yet reminiscent too of aki kaurismäki’s tributes to working stiffs . if there’s more than a hint of manic pixie dream girl about laura , it’s offset by her growling english bulldog marvin , to whom paterson is just as much married .
the more i think about it the more i admire the surprise winner of the golden lion at venice . the woman who left is a film that lives in the memory as a moral , political and cultural statement as well as a fine piece of filmmaking .
at date with destiny , tony robbins spends six days tearing down peoples ' walls in order to build them up again into their authentic selves . witness the first - ever inside look at this monster event , the methodology behind the workshop , and the life changing , transformational experiences the attendees have under tony ' s guidance in netflix ' s i am not your guru .
