carlos encinas bardem ( born 1963 ) is a spanish actor and son of pilar bardem and brother of mónica and javier bardem ( best known for the 2007 film no country for old men ) .
pilar was named after a sister who died of meningitis a couple of years before she was born .
that ' s how the young bardem came to know the world of performance art , pilar says , adding that he scored his first role at age 5 when a production had a last - minute need for a child .
spanish actor , born in las palmas de gran canaria on march 1 , 1969 . he comes from a family dedicated to the world of interpretation , his mother is the actress pilar bardem , is also nephew of juan antonio bardem , and grandson of actors . it was the first spanish actor to be awarded an oscar .

in a curious twist , pilar ' s third child , javier , died soon after his birth , from a condition that prevented him from digesting food ; she had a fourth , whom she also named javier .
well , some americans think that hispanic is race , therefore to them bardem is of hispanic race .
actually bardem and his family are from the canary islands , who look a bit different than mainland spanairds .
madrid - - when javier bardem was a toddler , his mother , pilar , dragged him by the hand to the backstage doors of spanish theaters as she searched for work . she was a young actress , trying to separate from an abusive husband at a time in spanish history when women separated from their husbands only at death . javier was 2 .

well , some americans think that hispanic is race , therefore to them bardem is of hispanic race . there is no hispanic race because they are not mixed thoroughly enough , it ' s still merely a culturo - linguistic group .
i suppose bardem is darker than the average
white american
. he also speaks spanish , so it ' s easy to understand why he is not considered
white
. doesn ' t matter what genetic studies say , ordinary people don ' t care about that .

yes . but from a cultural point of view , jewishness seems to be less alien to america - which is meant to be a western and predominantly christian society , right ? - than southern european people and more precisely the iberians . . . . bearing in mind that franco and portman are considered
whiter
than bardem , and the former shows vague semitic traits in his phenotype . its a worrying thought . genetically the most european out of the 3 would be by far bardem , because the jews are only 30 - 50 % european and don ' t even cluster with europeans in genetic plots . : thumb001 :
the bardems are a legendary acting dynasty , sort of the barrymores of spain , although actors here are not quite treated as royalty . la bardem , as she is often called , is also a proud mom and a pistol of a woman whose well - lived life has been one of adversity , trail - blazing , politics and superstition .
i suppose bardem is darker than the average
white american
. he also speaks spanish , so it ' s easy to understand why he is not considered
white
. doesn ' t matter what genetic studies say , ordinary people don ' t care about that . javier bardem isn ' t darker than north europeans ( when he ' s not tanning ) , and his facial features are caucasian . very few americans would mistake him for not being white on appearance . one of two things happened with the article : 1 ) the person who wrote it is hispanic , or a
cultural marxist
, and wants to equate the spanish with hispanics 2 ) the person who wrote it is just dumb . .

spaniards are more genetically indigenous to europe than most europeans ! ! ! they have much less neolithic affinity and haplogroups g , j , e , and t than italy and greece and less than even france has . and autosomally , very little
moorish
influence . if javier bardem isn ' t white , then 90 % of white americans aren ' t white either .
it is freedom she values , having grown up in a spain emerging from devastating civil war and living under the repression of a fascist dictatorship . ( she was born just days before generalissimo francisco franco sealed his rise to power by defeating spanish republican forces ; her late brother , juan antonio bardem , one of spain ' s most renowned filmmakers , was jailed for his anti - franco politics . )
they girl looks jewish , but jews do cluster with s euros , after all . . . the guy could easily be a mexican or other latin american . . . that ' s precisely what i ' d think he was if i saw him . . . at monica i basically agree with you , otoh carlos bardem is simply too tall and naturally strong to pass easily for the average latino .
but as the saying goes , behind every great man is a great woman . in this case , it just so happens to be bardem ' s mother , one of spain ' s most recognizable names and sought - after talents , who will be on hand for the ceremony to support her son , just as she was when he was nominated for his first oscar for his lead performance in 2000 ' s
before night falls .
yeah , it ' s him that i said look slightly more
white
, the other one
javier
could easily pass for a mexican though . i ' d guess he was mexican or latin american before i ' d guess spanish . the carlos guy , looks
more
white , but he could very easily be a latin american imo , there are many in s california who look just like that . at monica i basically agree with you , otoh carlos bardem is simply too tall and naturally strong to pass easily for the average latino .
what the fuck ! how stupid . however i think comparing him to franco and portman is not too smart either . they´re without a doubt white as well . yes . but from a cultural point of view , jewishness seems to be less alien to america - which is meant to be a western and predominantly christian society , right ? - than southern european people and more precisely the iberians . . . . bearing in mind that franco and portman are considered

the international film festival of cannes in its 2010 edition saw you raise the award statuette for best actor , shared with elio germano . on that occasion , thanked the audience and had a souvenir to penélope cruz ,
i share this joy with my friend , my companion , my love , penelope , i owe you many things and i love you
. . . some critics mentioned that bardem , fully 41 - year - old , only the bear of the berlinale is missing . in the 2010 oscar awards , it was nominated for her role in alejandro gonzález iñárritu ' s biutiful movie .
in 2004 crossed another major role in his career : the of ramón sampedro , the galician quadriplegic who ended his life in 1998 with the help of some close people , in the film of alejandro amenábar sea in . bardem became a masterful interpretation of a man who spent thirty years bedridden in a bed claiming her right to die with dignity . the performance earned him his second copa volpi of the mostra venetian , granted in september of that same year , as well as the award for the best actor at the european film awards , held in december in barcelona , and the goya award for best actor .
urltoken the oscar nominations are in , and award watchers have pinpointed a troublesome detail : except for spanish - born javier bardem , all of the nominees are white . this would seem to be a step backwards , particularly since last year ' s best actress nominees included gabourey sidibe and mo ' nique for precious . what kind of society considers white to an israelian jew like natalie portman or james franco but dumps on a non white minority category an european raised in a wealthy family like bardem - who hardly could ever have experienced any kind of discrimination by the american whites - ? i can understand the confusion with penelope since she is quite woggish and actually part gypsy , but this is just silly . : rolleyes2 : its not only the accent that put them apart . long time ago , martin and charlie sheen had to change their original spanish names in order to be accepted as
whites
and therefore succeed in their respective careers . yes , apparently , in american popular culture - this is not the case of educated people , as a rule - you can´t have a spanish name and be considered white at the same time , despiting the genetic evidence . having a spanish first name myself , the sole idea of step on america with my pasty white skin and my brit accent and being considered a minority is just mind blowing . someone should do something - apart from blaming the damn jews . ( note that this is not an american bashing thread . thanks . )
no , 30 - 50 % is if you are looking at haplogroups . autosomally ( ashkenazi ) jews are 85 % european . if you want to go by haplogroups , then 30 % of spaniards are jews and moors . you can ' t have it both ways . if you want to make ydna hg ' s the standard , this makes iberians 30 % arabic and jewish . if you want to go by autosomal data , then it makes both jews and spaniards european . . . so , which is it ? can ' t have your cake and eat it too , you have to have a single standard . . . genetically the most european out of the 3 would be by far bardem , because the jews are only 30 - 50 % european and don ' t even cluster with europeans in genetic plots . : thumb001 :
in the year 2000 became a new award for the spanish actor . it was at the venice film festival , where the jury , chaired by the director milos forman , awarded the volpi cup for best actor for his work in before night falls ( rather than dark ) , by the american director julian schnabel . his portrayal of cuban writer reynaldo arenas also earned the award for best actor of the year awarded by the national board of review , a prestigious association of critics based in new york . in december , was nominated for golden globe , prize , regarded as the first step toward the hollywood oscar , as a candidate for best actor drama of the year , along with actors of renown as tom hanks ( castaway ) , who finally won the award , rusell crowe ( gladiator ) , michael douglas ( wonderboys ) and geoffrey rush ( quills ) . also the national society of film critics in the united states granted its annual award for best actor for his role in the tape of schnabel . on february 13 , 2001 , at his home in madrid , met the news that his name would include among the five candidates for the oscar for best actor actor of the year 2000 .
this is a lottery and , sometimes , the lottery is not for millionaires , but for the workers . i consider myself a worker in this profession
, the first spanish actor who got a nomination for the film award for excellence , the hollywood oscar said . finally , bardem not collected the prized statuette , which went to the new zealand actor russell crowe for his performance in gladiator , although yes it received the spirit award for best actor of independent cinema .

today , of course , he ' s scoring some of the most coveted , or at least most interesting , roles in hollywood and european cinema , including his oscar - nominated turn as psychotic killer anton chigurh in
no country for old men .
it ' s his work in the coen brothers ' adaptation of cormac mccarthy ' s violent , meditative novel that has earned him a raft of prizes this award season - - including critical accolades and the screen actors guild prize - - and has positioned him as a front - runner in the category at sunday night ' s academy awards .
now 68 , she was a feminist before anyone in macho spain knew what that was ; for years , she fought for labor rights for actors , civil rights for women , a more liberal catholic church .
why can ' t women be priests ?
she demands to know .
why should they only wash the clothes and make the food ?
in 2003 , her demonstrations against the american - led war in iraq , which spain ' s then - government supported , got her tossed out of the spectators ' gallery in parliament where she and other actors had shown up in
no - to - war
t - shirts .
she is a cancer survivor two times over and raised , alone , three children ( javier is the youngest ) to become very successful adults .
all the while , she pursued a busy acting career : she has appeared in nearly 100 movies , including pedro almodovar ' s
live flesh
with javier , and several television series . she also works on stage .
the theater is like going to a convent ,
she told the spanish daily el pais .
you enter two hours before it starts , to meditate ; you have to repeat the same litany over and over ; you have to get along well with your companions because , if you don ' t , everything is a living hell .
speaking to the times , she added that she likes the stage especially because all is erased with each performance .
there is not a constancy ,
she said .
you return the next day and see something different , depending on the moods of the people involved and the connections you make with the audience .
in addition to her late brother , her parents were stage actors who traveled all over spain to perform . her eldest son , carlos , is an actor and writer , and her daughter , monica , was an actress who now owns a popular restaurant , where the dishes are named after the family ' s movies . ( croquetas

what the fuck ! how stupid . however i think comparing him to franco and portman is not too smart either . they´re without a doubt white as well .
well i guess ignorance will never entirely die , even as society ' s opinions and labels come and go .
he should change his name in the usa to xavier bartlett . : laugh :
there is no hispanic race because they are not mixed thoroughly enough , it ' s still merely a culturo - linguistic group . and even from a culturo - linguistic point of view , countries like mexico or argentina - dont get me start on the iberia peninsula - are almost completely different to each other , even opposites in certain aspects . the obvious lack of homogeneity in the so called
hispanic family
accentuates the artificiality of the term .

it depends on the jew . israelians like n . portman tend to have a noticeable orientalid admixture . only ashkenazi jews could be considered mostly genetically european . not that i care . she´s very pretty , i´d marry a woman like her if it wasn´t for her beliefs , which like in most jewish people seem anti - european orientated .
no , 30 - 50 % is if you are looking at haplogroups . autosomally ( ashkenazi ) jews are 85 % european . if you want to go by haplogroups , then 30 % of spaniards are jews and moors . hmmm . . . what ? ? jews are autosomally 30 - 55 % european only , i wasn ' t talking about haplogroups , i was talking about autosomal actually . as for the 30 % jews and moors by haplogroups , i don ' t know where did you get this , but if you add j2 + j1 + e + t spaniards have less than countries like austria or france . you can ' t have it both ways . if you want to make ydna hg ' s the standard , this makes iberians 30 % arabic and jewish . that is not true at all . first , there is no jewish haplogroups , but near - eastern . second , like i said earlier , if you add up the frequency of haplogroup j + e + t in spanairds , it is less than other europeans countries such as austria or france , to mention a just a few . see the study of the 30 - 50 % european admixture in jews :
the researchers were able to estimate that between 35 and 55 percent of the modern ashkenazi genome comes from european descent .
our study represents the largest cohort of ashkenazi jews examined to date with such a high density of genetic markers , and our estimate of admixture is considerably higher than previous estimates that used the y chromosome to calculate european admixture at between five and 23 percent ,
bray says . if you want to go by autosomal data , then it makes both jews and spaniards european . . . autosomally , jews are only 30 - 50 % european , and they don ' t even cluster with other europeans , contrary to spaniards who cluster with french , see the jews at the bottom : urltoken

bray says . they are exactly saying the previous study used hg ' s but in this one , when using autosomal they had : :
researchers looked for close to one million single nucleotide polymorphisms ( snps )
high linkage disequilibrium can come either from an isolated population ( for example , an island whose residents are all descendents of shipwreck survivors ) or the relatively recent mixture of separate populations . bray and his colleagues did find evidence of elevated linkage disequilibrium in the ashkenazi jewish population , but were able to show that this matches signs of interbreeding or
admixture
between middle eastern and european populations . the researchers were able to estimate that between 35 and 55 percent of the modern ashkenazi genome comes from european descent . if not , then please present the study . i have just presented some of the most credible work on this subject in the world . you have presented some picture off the internet which corresponds to no data . you lose , again . btw , just ask if you want the spanish data here . i can dig it up for you . you want studies on jews ? here : urltoken urltoken urltoken urltoken urltoken

here is another study ( autosomal again ) , jews intermediate between europeans and middle - easterns : jews intermediate between middle eastern and european populations ( kopelman et al . 2009 ) fairly interesting that at k = 5 a palestinian cluster emerges , and jews show mixed affiliations with this cluster and the european one . this is also consistent with the idea that different jewish populations have a levantine element in common , and have also undergone admixture with european ( or more properly european - like ) populations . a weakness of the study is that it does not look into gentile populations in the region between italy and palestine . the main issue in jewish origins is no longer whether they are of middle eastern or european ( or european - like ) origin . it seems pretty clear by now that they are both . the main issue is to determine the origin of their middle eastern and european components . this study does offer some new insight by showing the affinity between jews and palestinians at k = 5 ( purple ) ; however the origin of the european ( or european - like ) component remains elusive . urltoken link : urltoken
the autosomal genetic distances ( table 1 ) do not show any particular resemblance between the jewish populations . eej are closer to italians in particular and to europeans in general than to the other jewish populations . all of the distances , apart from one , differ from zero by more than twice their standard error . a difference between two distances can be considered meaningful , if it is more than twice their largest standard error . the differences between the distance of eej from italians and their distances from the other jewish populations are meaningful according to this criterion , and the same is also true for all the non - jewish populations except for greeks and russians . in fact the distance between eej and italians is the smallest distance in the matrix . a multidimensional scaling plot of the genetic distance matrix ( figure  ( figure1 ) 1 ) captures the proximity of eej to italians and other european populations . the same is also true for the neighbor joining tree ( figure  ( figure2 ) . 2 ) . it should be noted that multidimensional scaling plots are a way to present graphically the intricate relationships of genetic distance matrices . as such they are necessarily less accurate than the matrices on which they are based . in order to understand the genetic affinities of a particular population , one must examine its distances in the matrix itself , not in the plot . the same also applies to the neighbor joining tree . the bootstrap values indicate the robustness of the clustering , but not the significance of individual genetic distances . urltoken

our study represents the largest cohort of ashkenazi jews examined to date with such a high density of genetic markers , and our estimate of admixture is considerably higher than previous estimates that used the y chromosome to calculate european admixture at between five and 23 percent ,
bray says . also , 1 millions snps isn ' t shit , and is not
high density
. 1 million snps was considered
high density
a few years back , that in and of itself shows the caliber of the study and the data . . . hmmm . . that study is actually from 2010 . 1million snp ' s is very high for autosomal data . some of your links don ' t even work , the ones which do say things like this :
our analysis indeed revealed higher european admixture than predicted from previous y - chromosome analyses .
and chart ashkenazi jews with other southern europeans . some others are duplicates . you are manipulating , and you know it . that ' s not what it says . it ' s not my problem if you are a retarded and don ' t know how to read . you have yet to post any autosomal data whatsoever . 1 million snp ' s is actually autosomal data . all of the studies that i posted are based on autosomal data . but let me know if you want that data on 30 % of spaniards having sephardic jewish and moorish admixture . i know what study are you talking about , and it ' s based on y - haplogroups , not in autosomal .
bullshit , it ' s not autosomal you moron . . . this is directly from the study you got this graphic from :
the population genetics of jewish populations has been considered primarily from the perspective of the y chromosome and mitochondrial dna
you certainly have the comprehension level of a nonwhite , because you still haven ' t figured out that y chromosome and mtdna are not autosomal . i have told you this at least 30 times now . like some stupid ape you don ' t understand it , despite being told over , and over , and over . . . here is another study ( autosomal again ) , jews intermediate between europeans and middle - easterns : jews intermediate between middle eastern and european populations ( kopelman et al . 2009 ) fairly interesting that at k = 5 a palestinian cluster emerges , and jews show mixed affiliations with this cluster and the european one . this is also consistent with the idea that different jewish populations have a levantine element in common , and have also undergone admixture with european ( or more properly european - like ) populations . a weakness of the study is that it does not look into gentile populations in the region between italy and palestine . the main issue in jewish origins is no longer whether they are of middle eastern or european ( or european - like ) origin . it seems pretty clear by now that they are both . the main issue is to determine the origin of their middle eastern and european components . this study does offer some new insight by showing the affinity between jews and palestinians at k = 5 ( purple ) ; however the origin of the european ( or european - like ) component remains elusive . urltoken link : urltoken
the autosomal genetic distance analysis presented here clearly demonstrates that the investigated jewish populations do not share a common origin . the resemblance of eej to italians and other european populations portrays them as an autochthonous european population . a study conducted in a new york college in the 1920s point to the same ashkenazi - italian similarity on basis of physical characteristics . freshmen were asked before they knew one another to indicate the origin of their fellow students . forty percent of the italians were taken to be ashkenazi jews , and the same percentage of ashkenazi jews was adjudged italians [ 24 ] . eej seem to be mainly italian ( roman ) in origin , which is easily understood , considering the historical evidence presented above . the high correlation between the autosomal genetic distances and geography and the reduced correlation when eej are taken to originate from the land of israel reinforce the european origin of eej . in fact the correlation of the autosomal markers with geography is higher than previously described for 49 classical markers ( 0 . 503 ) or ~ 300 , 000 autosomal snps ( 0 . 661 ) in europe [ 25 ] . if for comparison , only non - jewish european populations are included , the correlation is lower , 0 . 689 , but still higher than the above mentioned correlations . it is also interesting to note how using the three geographic alternatives for eej , changes the correlation , when only european populations are included . the correlation remains almost the same , 0 . 679 , for rome but drops to 0 . 490 and 0 . 571 for warsaw and jerusalem respectively ; further emphasizing the correct geographic origin of eej within europe .

background : genetic studies have often produced conflicting results on the question of whether distant jewish populations in different geographic locations share greater genetic similarity to each other or instead , to nearby non - jewish populations . we perform a genome - wide population - genetic study of jewish populations , analyzing 678 autosomal microsatellite loci in 78 individuals from four jewish groups together with similar data on 321 individuals from 12 non - jewish middle eastern and european populations
lol i know what study are you talking about , and it ' s based on hg ' s , not autosomal . nope . it ' s autosomal , you have no idea what i ' m talking about . it clearly shows that 30 % of spaniards have moorish or sephardic jewish ancestry . you don ' t want me to show you do you ? you are scared aren ' t you ? ? lol ! ! ! what a retarded you are . you don ' t even know how to read . it actually says the contrary :

for all i know doesn ' t exist , because you haven ' t provided any link to it at all , and i ' m sure you have a good reason for it - because the study is not on autosomal data . it says that it ' s y chromosome data . ydna is not autosomal . . you have no idea what you are talking about . lol ! ! 1 million snps is
alot for autosomal
? : pound : what a complete moron you are . you have no idea what you are talking about . is not
alot for autosomal
. you are just confirming ( once again ) what an uninformed idiot you are . the truth is there is far , far more autosomal dna than allosomal dna in the human genome . 44 chromosomes of autosomal dna , 2 of allosomal . lmao you poor , poor idiot . . : rotfl : 1 million snp ' s is actually autosomal data . all of the studies that i posted are based on autosomal data . no they are not , you moron , even the studies themselves say they are not . . . once again :
the population genetics of jewish populations has been considered primarily from the perspective of the y chromosome and mitochondrial dna
. we ' ve established what that means , right corky ? ? not autosomal . . . i know what study are you talking about , and it ' s based on y - haplogroups , not in autosomal . no you don ' t . you are just scared for me to post it , it ' s autosomal . . .
you idiot , 678 microsatellite loci . . . that ' s not even a significant number to test . . . you have no idea what you are talking about . . testing 678 loci is insignificant , and that ' s jack shit compared to the fact that most all of the study is based on ydna and mtdna , which is stated in the study . you are over your head again , and have zero idea what you ' re talking about , again . . . hahahaha what a moron . this is from my study :
background : genetic studies have often produced conflicting results on the question of whether distant jewish populations in different geographic locations share greater genetic similarity to each other or instead , to nearby non - jewish populations . we perform a genome - wide population - genetic study of jewish populations , analyzing 678 autosomal microsatellite loci in 78 individuals from four jewish groups together with similar data on 321 individuals from 12 non - jewish middle eastern and european populations

eej are europeans probably of roman descent who converted to judaism at times , when judaism was the first monotheistic religion that spread in the ancient world . any other theory about their origin is not supported by the genetic data . future studies will have to address their genetic affinities to various italian populations and examine the possibility of other components both european and non - european in their gene pool . the historical sources listed above show that conversion to judaism was common in ancient rome among all ranks of the roman society including the imperial families . it is thus unlikely that the original roman population did not constitute a significant portion of the proselytes . what else can explain the resemblance of eej to a general sample of italians in this study and to more local samples in the two array studies [ 53 , 54 ] ? in all three studies the genetic affinities of the ashkenazim are very similar to the affinities of the italians , with the ashkenazim usually being a bit more distant from the other populations , as can be expected from a population that underwent a stronger genetic drift . it is thus unlikely that the ashkenazim are a mixture of people from different places in the mediterranean basin , unless current - day italians themselves not only have absorbed foreign genetic contributions , but actually constitute such a mixture , and this seems unlikely as well . the very high correlation ( 0 . 926 ) between the genetic distances of eej and geographic distances , when the latter are calculated from rome , also supports the origin of eej from italy or its vicinity and not merely from the mediterranean basin . the similarity to italians was also evident when several italian populations from different provinces were included in a comparison based on classical autosomal markers . most italian populations were closer to eej than all other populations ( data not shown ) . my comments on the papers by atzmon et al . [ 53 ] and behar et al . [ 54 ] are in the discussion . studying autosomal haplotypes will indeed contribute to revealing the ancestries of populations , but in order to gain meaningful insights one ought to study at least several loci and ensure that sample sizes are adequate , this may entail more effort than studying single snps , and i am not sure that the affinities between the populations are going to be depicted more accurately . i changed the phrasing in methods to make it clearer that the formula of reynolds et al . was only used for the calculation of the tree . urltoken

as barnouw states , this “witness - like” quality of the documentary soundtrack does not necessarily imply “truth , ” but rather a quality of testimony . [ 7 ] one film maker , scott hicks , interviewed for pepita ferrari’s film capturing reality : the art of documentary argues that film making , even a non - fiction / documentary film , is a subjective , constructed art and any claim to absolute truth is spurious . another great contemporary documentarian also interviewed for the film , errol morris , states that in a documentary , “the truth is not up for grabs . ” by this , morris means that a film maker may have opinions about the ramifications of an event , but he or she is not at liberty to change the factual occurrences of that event in their film .

“tramps” director adam leon once said something in an interview that i will never forget . while talking about his gritty debut film “ gimme the loot , ” about two young graffiti writers wanting to tag a new york city landmark , leon said that his goal was making someone’s favorite movie of the year . that’s quite a novel idea that only interesting filmmakers could accomplish—to make something that speaks to a viewer so directly , it essentially fulfills what they need , what they ' ve been yearning to see . and it proves a fitting statement coming from leon , given that he’s made a direct companion piece to “gimme the loot” with “tramps , ” which has a similar urban verve , style and even more sweetness . but while “tramps” may be inspired and unusual , it’s hard to shake off the idea that leon isn ' t just making the film he wants to see , he ' s riffing on himself .
tramps makes its debut just as andrea arnold’s american honey hits the autumn festivals . that’s another film in which young people from impoverished backgrounds make trouble on suburban lawns . that movie isn’t a masterpiece either , but there’s at least a great deal of freshness in its specificity . best to go with initial instinct and ignore the call to get that briefcase .
, critic sean doyle comments that “the film soundtrack , like the movement of the camera , often is experienced like the ( invisible ) work of god ; when there is a contrast or contradiction between onscreen action and the score , the film’s god may seem unjust or even cruel . ”
but apparently they still do , or movies such as tramps wouldn’t exist . starring two terrific young actors ( callum turner and grace van patten ) , tramps , shot with sparkle and verve in various locations in new york , has the raw materials required to construct an indie gem . but it’s quickly revealed that there is no real blueprint , other than to wing it and hope it comes out all right in the end .
there were other studios circling “tramps , ” including a24 and the orchard , although there were concerns that without big stars , its commercial prospects would be diminished . “tramps” is the sophomore feature of adam leon , the writer and director who first attracted attention with 2012’s “gimme the loot . ” it follows a bagman , who picks up the wrong briefcase in a drop gone wrong , and later falls in love with the driver .
families can talk about why a mother might press her son to do something illegal . what can you tell about danny ' s and his mother ' s lives based on early scenes of tramps at their apartment ?
as for the visual language , we wanted tramps to feel like a warm , beautiful , colorful blast of a movie . loot has a washed out , brown palette ( we purposefully emulated bad ’70s film transfers ) , but on tramps we were drawn to saturated colors with bright greens and yellows and bursts of reds . i put two stills from each movie next to each other for a lookbook recently , and they couldn’t live on the same page ; the loot ones looked recessed about 20 feet and tramps stills looked like they were coming out of the page . and then with the camera movements , we talked a lot about the zoom work , making sure it never felt winking or self - aware and always emotional , and i asked her to push me on using hand - held more .
regardless of the film’s awards chances , lion is well worth seeing and , hopefully , appreciating . it’s an earnest but not cloying film , one that seems wise about the world and its alternately grim and encouraging complexity . oh , and the reveal of the significance of the film’s title arrives as a perfectly poignant little button at the end . that’s when i cried . for the third or fourth time while watching the movie , that is .
carefully doling out information . . . leon maintains a buoyant energy that ' s given even more bounce by the film ' s lively score and soundtrack

over time , documentary soundtrack tropes occasionally become dated and the sounds themself can become an ironic signifier of cultural attitudes . an example of this is film trailer music , background teaser music used to promote film at the time , often made before the film’s soundtrack was completed and used to market a documentary . inappropriate trailer music can later become unintentional historic commentary , as seen in a comparison of the original 1994 trailer and updated 2004 trailer for steve james’ documentary hoop dreams .

filmmaker : a couple , a macguffin , of sorts , a compressed time period — it sounds as if tramps has some similar elements to gimme the loot . what’s different about the movie ? what were you trying to do differently in terms of both story and filmmaking ?
filmmaker : when you were last in the pages of filmmaker , it was just before the release of your debut feature , gimme the loot . i remember talking to you about the various hollywood meetings you were doing , and the process of finding what would be your next feature . so , how did you get from gimme the loot to tramps ? and why led you go back to make an independent film rather than develop something within the studio system ?

harold and lillian eloped to hollywood in 1947 , where they became the film industry’s secret weapons . nobody talked about them , but everybody wanted them . theirs is the greatest story never told – until now .
from writer - director adam leon , the film made its world premiere in the contemporary world cinema section of the festival and sparked immediate interest from a24 , sony pictures classics and the orchard , among other distributors .
the film playfully flirts with whether or not it wants to be a romance , as ellie and danny both seem wary of the idea that someone else may like them for anything other than their immediate use value .
kenneth turan is film critic for the los angeles times and national public radio’s morning edition as well as the director of the los angeles times book prizes . he has been a staff writer for the washington post and the times’ book review editor . a graduate of swarthmore college and columbia university’s graduate school of journalism , he is the coauthor of “call me anna : the autobiography of patty duke . ” he teaches film reviewing and nonfiction writing at
at a time when american romantic comedies aim for broad humor and questionable gender politics , [ the film ] provides a more intimate contrast to the market standard . if romantic comedies need a savior , leon may be their best hope .
the new film feels like both an extension and a maturation from
gimme the loot ,
as it has the same rambunctious , roustabout energy and sharp eye for atmosphere and character , but also feels slightly more ruminative and sensitive .
in tramps , ellie ( van patten ) and danny ( turner ) are an unlikely pair of would - be criminals thrown together over two new york city summer days . their misadventures through the streets , outer boroughs , and idyllic suburbs of new york include a heist , a stolen briefcase , mistaken identity – and the prospect of unforeseen romance .
in november of 1975 , seven arizona loggers encounter a ufo and one goes missing , igniting a firestorm of controversy aimed at the logging crew . this film provides an accurate in - depth coverage of how this event changed their lives forever .
just as people in the audience may have been surprised by turner ' s accent , van patten was asked about appearing before the crowd with a glamorous look of long blond hair that was much different from her dark , shorter hair in the film .
an artful investigation into the causes of songbird mass depletion and the compassionate people who are working to turn the tide . the film takes viewers on a visually stunning journey revealing how the problems facing birds also pose daunting implications for our planet and ourselves .
as sean doyle comments in “dance macabre , ” instead of vera lynn optimistically waiting for her lover to come home from the war , the film’s audiences anxiously knew that a nuclear holocaust would be a war from which no one would come home . [ 10 ]
oddly , these two tendencies meet in “tramps , ” which isn’t a bad movie but , rather , a thinned - out and calculated , caper - like throwback to gritty , hands - on picaresque new york stories . yet it’s no worse than many movies that get released theatrically , even widely ; for that matter , it’s better than many , and deserves to be considered alongside them—and in terms of the same artistic traditions and possibilities . netflix may not have advanced the art of the cinema in its distribution of “tramps , ” but the art and commerce of the cinema have always advanced side by side , with money made in one realm enabling audacious creation in another . trade and cinema are inseparable ; but cinema is too important for critics to let a trade group—or anyone else—define it .
unfortunate as it is to say about a movie largely about indian people , one of the most striking performances in the film belongs to nicole kidman , who plays saroo’s adoptive mother . she has one scene in particular , in which she explains to saroo why she and her husband chose adoption , that is , beyond the teary reunion , the emotional centerpiece of the film . kidman just plays it so well , and it’s so thoughtfully written . i’ve no doubt the weinsteins have her performance primed and ready for a supporting - actress run .
in the hands of director ryan coogler and star michael b . jordan , what is nominally a spinoff of the celebrated “rocky” series plays like a spiritual remake of the 1976 film that retells the original story in the kind of involving way one would not have thought possible . read more
you get to go places in movies by just sitting in this dark room and i want to maximize that . i’m attracted to stories that are adventures and tramps , as i mentioned , centers around movement . so travel and transportation were key to the settings and we have them on buses , trains , bikes , cars , subways and in these transit hubs like grand central , penn station , and the port authority .
the film was extremely controversial . in the age of woodstock and protest songs , the ambient sounds of hearts and minds captured the average post - war citizen’s feeling of overloaded confusion , betrayal and innocence lost , through mediums that had become increasingly self - referential in an ironic and satirical way .
brie larson excels in a film able to give full weight to both sides of the emotional equation as it tells the story of a young woman imprisoned for years in a single room in a tiny shed and the young son who was born to her there and knows no other world . read more

in jarecki’s searing 2012 documentary the house i live in , the soundtrack is an ingeniously - constructed amalgam of music , dialogue , ambient noise , and narration . jarecki saves the most pointed non - verbal commentary , though , for the very end , when the film’s credits roll over the sounds of paul robeson singing “the house i live in , ” an idealistic 1940s anthem to utopian american democracy and brotherhood . this comes at the very end of a scathing , emotionally exhausting 2 ½ hour film detailing the targeting of poor and minority non - violent drug offenders to support the “prison industrial complex” in america .
filmmaker : you’re working with a new cinematographer , ashley connor , who is known for her work with josephine decker , among others . tell me about the process of working with her . how’d you land on a look for a film and a style of shooting that was congruent with your budget and schedule ?
“we are honored to screen ithaca , meg’s directorial film debut , ” commented mcneely . “she is a critically - acclaimed actress whose films reflect a wide range of dynamic roles that make her a unique talent in the motion picture industry . we are thrilled she will be a part of our 19th festival ! ”
leon : we then went through a sort of rehearsal process where , along with pouring over references and doing camera and color tests , we hung out and talked about life , went to movies , to a basketball game . it was basically a several month conversation that centered around tramps , and her influence on the movie extends beyond the visual language to the dialogue , characters , and just the emotions of the piece . she’s a major collaborator in every sense .
thr ’s david rooney said , “winsome … never a false note … the world of leon’s films is graced with such endearing innocence that you go with it . it ' s the faultless performances that make the film so captivating … the delightful callum turner and grace van patten are the tender heart of the movie . ”

• preceding the opening night film , siff will present the sonoma salute award to producer / screenwriter robert mark kamen , in honor of his dedication and support of the festival . a sonoma resident and owner of kamen estate wines , kamen has been writing screenplays for 35 years and is best known for such films as taps , the 5th element , and the karate kid , transporter & the taken franchises . his next film to be released is warriors gate . in addition , kamen will give a screenwriting master class on saturday , april 2 , from 11 : 45 – 12 : 30 pm , in which he will talk about the mechanics of a screenplay .
both “win it all” and “tramps” can be viewed the way that most people have , for decades , watched movies—via home video—and are indistinguishable , in form and substance , from many other movies , current or classic , that were or will be released first in theatres . yet the distinction between these films and those that are shown in theatres is maintained—of course , by hollywood , which earns much from theatrical releases . as long as that’s the case , it’s unlikely that the academy will be changing its eligibility rules .
tramps
scampers in and around new york city as danny ( callum turner ) steps in as bagman on some shady exchange of a briefcase when his hustler older brother lands in jail . this puts him in contact with the driver ellie ( grace van patten ) , but when the hand - off goes awry , the two of them have to get the case back . the movie also features a supporting role by comedian and filmmaker mike birbiglia as the sad - sack heavy who sets the deal in motion .
there are a few playful hijinks , like a dress - up montage with a rich woman’s wardrobe , and also the cliche walk through a summer carnival . it was during this sequence , with leon’s decision to use a jazz tune i swear i’ve heard in woody allen movies , that i realised that this seemingly mild , agreeable film was actually a disappointment .
in terms of the filmmaking , we’re operating on a bigger scale cinematically , and i think tramps involves a more emotional type of filmmaking , even impressionistic at times , both in its visuals and its edit . in general i wanted to be less rigid than i have been previously . there were a lot of “rules” on loot — it’s very literal in terms of the shooting and editing , which is right for that movie . with tramps , in part because we’re telling a more traditional story , i encouraged my collaborators to be less traditional in the telling of it . this idea played out in specific ways throughout the process , like incorporating non - linear sequences , an increased use of montage and close - ups , isolating elements in the sound editing , the use of original score at times instead of just songs , etc . there’s a sense of being less strictly observational , even though some observational elements like the use of long take street shooting remain , and allowing ourselves to get into the feelings of the characters in terms of the filmmaking itself .
by using ironically contrasting music / sound to accompany their imagery , documentary filmmakers such as davis and jarecki have ensured that their films became a more participatory , and thereby memorable , experience for their audiences . the film musicologist holly rogers has commented , “narrative in film ( with music that contradicts an image ) is constructed ( or rather completed ) by the audience . filling in the gaps and contradictions with referential knowledge of the sounds / music external to the filmic imagery , the viewer reconstructs the myths ( and events ) through an act of ( participatory ) self - narration . ” [ 12 ] we as audience members , when confronted by a gaping dissonance , whether in film sound / imagery , or actual news / political reports , have an instinct to seek resolution , often through the momentary realization of the absurd and ridiculously transient nature of life itself . documentary and other filmmakers who used attention - getting devices in their soundtracks such as ironic musical and sound quotes invite the audience to recognize the subversive nature of their commentary , and to hopefully participate further by taking action against society’s injustices .
the ironic , referential use of contrasting music / imagery in dr . strangelove was itself paralleling ( if not directly referencing ) another dramatic fictional cold war film from the same year , sidney lumet’s fail safe . the final scenes also used sound to evoke a nuclear holocaust , but instead of benign music with horrific images , the opposite juxtaposition is used : quick cuts of familiar , friendly street scenes in new york ( about to be bombed ) with a voice over of an imminent countdown to the bombing . ( i still remember experiencing a sleepless night as a twelve - year old after watching and hearing the final freeze - frame and silence of a rebroadcast of the film , which stopped immediately before the imagined nuclear blast . )
leon : loot is in some ways a “hang out” movie , which makes sense since it’s goal is to observe these two friends exploring the world around them . tramps is completely different in its approach to story . it’s taking a set , well known , pre - existing type of movie , the romance , but with a specific and hopefully new take on it . we’re telling a classic hollywood idea and embracing it , but trying to do so in a way you haven’t seen before and with characters who you haven’t seen it with .
it was an adjustment because i was the head of the llc on loot , which meant i was in charge of the whole operation . on tramps there’s a day where i signed a contract that says not only am i not in charge , i don’t own the project . it’s not mine anymore . that’s why having people that i trusted 100 % in both business and as human beings was so essential . and they’ve never let me down except that time josh took me to a bad pizza place and we sat by the bathroom .
in many ways , tramps is a circuitous road movie , its rhythms shaped by lovely use of music — including nicholas britell ' s spare score and an eclectic parcel of tunes , from traditional folk to trippy indie electronica to blues and rockabilly — and lots of transport sequences , involving cars , trains , buses , bicycles . there ' s also a nice walking - and - talking vibe to the key transitional scenes , given lively physicality by the pairing of ellie ' s brisk trot with danny ' s spindly gait , like a baby gazelle still finding his footing around her .
a british sake brewer , an american journalist and a young president of a century - old sake brewery in japan join together to explore the mysterious world of sake , or japanese rice wine . the film illustrates how these unique individuals who have been fascinated with this extraordinary beverage of japanese origin meet the challenges of the current sake industry , investigating the rich , complex and spectacular world of sake .
saw two movies yesterday . one of them , david lowery’s “a ghost story , ” which opens in july , is among the most exhilaratingly original films i’ve seen in a while . the other , adam leon’s “tramps , ” an amiable but insubstantial adolescent romantic adventure , opens today—sort of . some people might say that it doesn’t open at all , because it isn’t being released in movie theatres but , rather , online only , on netflix . both movies are freestanding , non - serial , complete , and integral dramas that run about an hour and a half each . “a ghost story” got
adam leon ' s 2012 debut , gimme the loot , showed a disarming lightness of touch in its observation of a pair of teenage bronx graffitists on a mission to pull off a street - art coup . his equally winsome follow - up , tramps , throws together two more seemingly mismatched youths on another somewhat delinquent quest , this time focusing on the delicate process by which an unplanned partnership blossoms from spiky banter into trust and incipient romance . there ' s never a false note in the performances of callum turner and grace van patten , who make ideal accomplices for the talented writer - director .
the festival market was slow - going in its initial days , but picked up steam as toronto came to a close . among the bigger deals , “jackie , ” a historical drama about jacqueline kennedy , sold to fox searchlight , and “their finest , ” a world war ii comedy , was picked up by europacorp . uta independent film group handled the deal . the hollywood reporter broke news of the sale .
what happened with tramps was i wanted to tell a story that would capture the feeling of falling in love at the movies . i was on a kick of watching classic romantic adventures like his girl friday and trouble in paradise . so that was a goal , and at the same time i had become very interested in a specific element in rohmer movies : his handling of transportation and how people move around a city . this was suggested to me by a critic after seeing loot , and i started studying that concept in his work . and how essential it is to his storytelling , in particular in winter’s tale .
rising british actor and former screen star of tomorrow callum turner ( bbc - twc’s war & peace ) stars in the rom - com , which is produced by joshua astrachan ( short term 12 ) and david kaplan ( it follows ) of new york indie maestros animal kingdom , alongside andrea roa ( drinking buddies ) and jamund washington ( gimme the loot ) . washington also shares a story by credit on the film .
prior to netflix picking up the film , it had been in the works and dropped by three studios , columbia pictures , paramount pictures and warner bros . . [ 2 ] [ 7 ] the latter dropped out soon after adam sandler and happy madison productions signed a four - picture deal with netflix , although an insider noted to the hollywood reporter that the deal had nothing to do with their decision . [ 7 ]
by january 2015 , netflix picked up the film with others joining the cast including taylor lautner , nick nolte , blake shelton , steve buscemi , rob schneider , will forte , vanilla ice , and luke wilson . [ 2 ] on february 16 , 2015 , jorge garcia joined the cast . [ 2 ] principal photography began on february 20 , 2015 , and ended on may 2 , 2015 . [ 3 ] [ 8 ]
johnny depp’s daughter lily rose - depp got her first acting role playing a minor part in kevin smith’s 2014 film “tusk” before landing a lead role in his next horror - comedy , this year’s “yoga hosers . ” rose - depp has quickly branched out into more dramatic roles , however , most recently playing a lead role alongside natalie portman in “planetarium , ” from french writer - director rebecca zlotowski ( “grand central , ” “dear prudence” ) . rose - depp plays kate , a supernatural medium in 1930s paris who performs séances with her sister ( portman ) for people seeking to communicate with the dead . the film represents the second french - language movie for rose - depp , who also starred in this year’s cannes entry “the dancer , ” a biographical drama about the american dancer loïe fuller and her protégé and rival isadora duncan ( rose - depp ) . - gw
similar to gimme the loot , the new film is a small - scale work that owes its charm to the freshness , relaxed intimacy and unforced humor of its character interplay , and to the warm feel for the environments through which they move , whether it ' s densely populated brooklyn and queens or the affluent green suburbs of westchester . those qualities should steer the indie production into a modest theatrical niche before it lands on smaller screens .
on the other hand , neither the rise of streaming platforms nor the reinvigoration of repertory houses is an unalloyed virtue ; no less than every artistic mode , every mode of distribution has its decadent forms . just as domestic distractions can sometimes make home viewing tend toward simpler and blander style and content , the excessive veneration of movies projected on film in theatres sometimes involves an excessive veneration of classical ( and classic - hollywood ) movie styles .
complementing its diverse and truly international program of independent cinema , siff offers a unique blend of world - class cuisine from local artisans and exceptional wine from sonoma vintners , making for an epicurean experience few film festivals in the world can match . renowned filmmakers , industry leaders and celebrities have enjoyed its intimate ambiance , while many filmmakers who have premiered at siff return with future projects . following are just a few special highlights the festival has to offer :
danny ( turner ) is a slackjawed teenager on the cusp of adulthood living with his mother , a polish immigrant , in astoria , queens . she runs a very diy off - track betting operation from her cramped living room . ( i happen to live in the very neighbourhood where tramps is set and can tell you that the the in - the - open illegal gambling scene here is quite prevalent . ) danny’s older brother calls from a jail in atlantic city . he’ll only be there for one night , but he needs danny to do him a favour : pick up a briefcase , leave it for someone on a train platform and make $ 3 , 000 .
one of netflix’s press releases offered some extraordinary news : two original netflix productions , noah baumbach’s “the meyerowitz stories” ( also starring sandler ) and bong joon - ho’s “okja , ” will both be premièring in competition at the cannes film festival next month . as ehrlich reports , france’s official movie - theatre trade group has criticized the selection , arguing that an online release would “call into question their nature as a cinematographic work . ” in other words , they’re not even movies .
still , the story of lion is pretty incredible , and it features a final reunion that , i think , would soften even the hardest of hearts . the film is shot beautifully by greig fraser , working in a kind of poetic realism . and it’s got a host of strong performances . young sunny pawar , who plays saroo as a boy , is adorable , which , yes , may be a strange thing to say about a performance in a movie with such heavy subject matter , but what can you do . he’s a cute little kid , and he instantly wins our sympathy and concern . adult saroo is played by dev patel , who works in a more somber tone than we’re used to seeing from him . saroo is torn between homes , between lives , and patel effectively communicates that tension . but , again , the same beats get played over and over again . eventually you just want the film to hurry up and get saroo back to india .
this year’s jury members are : david dinerstein ( producer ) , mike repsch ( breaking glass pictures ) , ariane rocchi ( magnolia pictures ) , steve chagollan ( variety ) for features ; james cromwell ( actor ) , sir nigel daly ( producer / director ) , michael howell ( e . d . devour festival / chef ) for documentaries ; leslie vanderpool ( e / d . bahamas international film festival ) and lucy walker ( academy award - nominated director ) for short films . .
leon’s a knowledgable cineaste who draws from the right stuff with the shrewd hand of a young new wave director : “tramps” has the setting of rossellini - esque neorealism and a classic hitchcockian twist ; the romantic centerpiece hails from the screwball comedy era . at its center , polish - american new yorker danny ( british actor callum turner , his accent well - modified for the part ) leads a hand - to - mouth existence with his mother and troublemaking older sibling darren ( michal vondel ) . when darren lands in jail for the night after another one of his random antics , he uses his one phone call to put his brother on the spot : danny’s tasked with handing off a briefcase full of cash at a random manhattan subway stop .
with april ( and hopefully , spring ) around the corner , netflix is gearing up for the hotly anticipated release of casting jonbenet , the latest documentary about the more than 20 - year - old unsolved murder of 6 - year - old jonbenet ramsey . as previously revealed , casting jonbenet , which first premiered at the sundance film festival earlier this year , will be a “hybrid” that looks at the murder and myths that have affected the “attitudes and behavior of successive generations of local parents and children . ”
• opening night reception – siff is thrilled and honored to begin the film festival libations at the backlot tent in the middle of the historic sonoma plaza . attending filmmakers , festival sponsors and pass holders will be treated to the epicurean delights of the girl & the fig , café la haye , the swiss hotel , della santina , harvest moon and touché mobile chefs , as well as bubbles by gloria ferrer , still wine from madrone , lake sonoma , clos du bois , buena vista winery , corner 103 and petroni winery .
like “gimme the loot , ” “tramps” concerns two young people in new york city , getting into an odyssey well over their heads and placing themselves into some mischief . this time it’s callum turner ’s danny and grace van patten ’s elle , as their meet - cute is a simple , profitable and possible crime . pick up a suitcase , make an exchange , get paid later . danny is doing it to help out his recently incarcerated brother , and we soon find out that elle is doing it to start her unsatisfactory life anew . as strangers to one another , neither know what is in the suitcase . still , the stakes of a payday causes enough nervous energy for the both of them , especially when danny leaves the bag at the wrong spot , and the wrong person takes it .
this is exactly the type of movie allen makes in between his good ones – a goodhearted but lower - class kid on the run with an enchanting girl . if only there were some crafty dialogue and a splash of wit , these fine two actors would have had what they needed to put the love story over the top . a craftsman such as allen can take a story that may seem a little creaky but still write specifics that result in something like café society or irrational man . tramps is one of the thinnest exercises i’ve seen in quite some time . and for every enjoyable moment there’s a cringeworthy “deep glance” , such as when danny suggests that children owning pets is good training for the horrors of life to come . not an unusual sentiment , but this is essentially blurted out with little provocation and lands with a thud .
after the film , leon , turner , van patten and birbiglia all came out for a q & a . ; leon said that as he and co - writer jamund washington were working on the story ,
we wanted to make a movie that captures the feeling of falling in love at the movies . so whatever the best of that is for you , it could be ' when harry met sally , ' it could be ' his girl friday , ' whatever that feeling is , but to do it in a way that maybe you hadn ' t seen it before .
