this time is not the type of film one goes into while expecting any drastic shifts of romantic comedy tropes . it only aspires enough to be entertaining enough .
not your typical romcom , relying on a time travel fantasy element . this film is well acted and charming , with a surprisingly profound message . i thoroughly enjoyed it .

i wouldn ' t say i had a
good time
watching this film , but i definitely recommend it to those who want to see an stylised and hypnotising thriller . [ full review in spanish ]
of course , the film does not sufficiently explore this , owing largely to the fact that the development does not add anything to the romantic core of the film except as a handy way out of narrative conflict . that is but an unfortunate limitation of being an escapist film .

film noir was a genre that , like the western , used to be the most popular style of film for the early movie studios but fell out of favor by the 60s . like westerns , film noir was frequently considered a lower class of cinema in comparison to the sweeping adaptations of epic popular fiction . and the immense regard that many of the older films now have , most of that came later as film criticism grew to become more respected and international film embraced the shadowy works of detective fiction .

that all this and more happens prior to and during the delayed opening credits is indicative of the film ' s relentless pacing , and given the extreme vulnerability of nick in particular , some audiences may find it distressing to watch .
thankfully , the film manages to stand on its own merits . while it can be surmised that the film’s existence is owed to the orchestrated rise in popularity of lustre and reid’s romantic tandem , it rarely feels like it was simply an afterthought just like a lot of the hurried romances and comedies that the film’s producers have been churning out recently .

inspired by acclaimed & visionary author josé argüelles’ studies in ancient indigenous wisdom , this film explores the idea that modern humanity is immersed in an erroneous and artificial perception of time that deviates from the natural order of the universe . we have become disconnected from the natural rhythms of the earth by focusing only on money , consumerism and exploitation while deep down inside , we crave the return to a foundation of culture , community , and creation .

arguably the film that most accurately captures the agonies of creativity and the circus that surrounds filmmaking , equal parts narcissistic , self - deprecating , bitter , nostalgic , warm , critical and funny . dreams , nightmares , reality and memories coexist within the same time - frame ; the viewer sees guido’s world not as it is , but more ‘realistically’ as he experiences it , inserting the film in a lineage that stretches from the surrealists to david lynch .

the balance of moral crookedness and conscience in “good time” is thus a complex one . that the film works such social and psychological nuance into what otherwise amounts to a breathless , battering pulp thriller — precision - edited to 100 minutes , though it feels shorter and antsier still — is perhaps the most impressive of its achievements . these restlessly independent auteurs have passed the genre - foray test with flying neon colors , at no cost or compromise to their abrasively humane worldview . if you’re going to have a good time in a safdie brothers film , in other words , it’s got to be on their tense , troubled terms .

what started out as a documentary short and web series has now grown into a transmedia project with a feature documentary called “time is art” that premiered on 11 / 11 to a sold out nyc theater , as well as san francisco , and austin in 2015 . the film has also been shown in theaters in miami and perth , australia . a book of same name featuring conversations from the brilliant folks featured in the film ( and many more ) is also in progress .

a young fugitive prince and princess must stop a villain who unknowingly threatens to destroy the world with a special dagger that enables the magic sand inside to reverse time .
the film follows a writer who is compelled to make sense of the mysterious and powerful energy she felt at her aunt’s deathbed . a series of strange coincidences leads her on an exploration of synchronicity – the concept that all beings are mystically interconnected , and that time is not so much a chronology as it is an infinite cycle . considering herself something of a skeptic , she treads the fine line between nervous breakdown and ecstatic revelation as she seeks out scholars , shamans , artists , and community activists in her search for answers . together , they explore a reality where time is transformed from a unit that can be measured and commodified - “time is money” - to an experience of oneness with the natural rhythms of nature and the universe . it is here that the writer discovers that time is , in fact , art .
in one of the final scenes of arrival , the new first - contact science fiction film with a focus on linguistics , dr . louise banks ( amy adams ) explains why she got divorced . “he said i made the wrong choice , ” the linguist tells her daughter hannah . it’s an easy line to overlook , especially as the gravity of the film’s second - half surprise sinks in . throughout the film , louise is experiencing not her memories of the past , but living out precognitive moments of her own future . she is experiencing time out of order , because her efforts to understand an alien language have irreversibly rewired her brain .

the characters we see on - screen play a significant part in determining the roles we occupy off - screen . in a recent study , only 15 % of k - 12 students remember seeing women performing computer science tasks
most of the time
in film or tv . this is reflected in real life where women make up only 17 % of computer science majors – a steady decline from a peak at 37 % in 1984 . there are many reasons for this decline , but stronger female representation in programming , coding , and engineering roles on the big screen can help everyone envision women filling those roles in real life . this is an issue google ' s computer science in media team has been focused on for years , working with creators and producers to improve the portrayal of these fields in tv and movies .

“time is art” is ultimately the story of an artist’s search for inspiration in a money - driven society that shuns creativity , and of the human search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world . presented as a cinematic meditation along the lines of waking life and samsara , this film takes an experimental approach that allows us to experience reality as jennifer begins to see it – one less concerned with linear storytelling , and more open to the cyclical patterns of nature , the hidden meanings of symbols , and the dreamlike overlapping of people , places , and moments .

compelling conversations with fellow seekers toko - pa turner , richard tarnas , graham hancock , daniel pinchbeck and biologist , rupert sheldrake , guide us through the underlying premise of the film : perhaps we can tap into a way of being that is not ruled by a finite sense of time , but rather by the ability to live in harmony with the true creative nature of our existence .
it ' s easy to see what draws actors to work with the directing team , who clearly encourage a freedom to experiment that allows someone like leigh to make a vivid impression even in limited screen time . there ' s almost invariably a sense of deep - dish backstories , even of characters we meet only for the briefest time , and the interplay between experienced actors and nonprofessionals adds authenticity .
like the nominees in the feature - length best documentary category , the five films in this group demonstrate a commitment to both relevance and experimentation . only one of them , “joe’s violin” ( now on youtube ) , follows the conventional , quasi - journalistic template , alternating interviews , archival footage and real - time events as it tells the touching story of a holocaust survivor who donated his violin to a public school in the bronx . the film , directed by kahane cooperman , proceeds though familiar beats , but its emotions are genuine and its characters are well worth knowing .
this is reflected in films like hidden figures , which recently became the top - grossing best picture academy award nominee of the year , showing that movies centered around women resonate with audiences .

for once , lustre and reid are cast in a film where love ( or at least an illusion of it ) is earned through struggles and emotions that may be trite , but are at least substantial enough to carry the duo ' s brand of romance . sadly , whatever little advances the film earns for its precious stars are betrayed by its inability not to succumb to cheap tricks .
webster’s scenes with pattinson are at once among the film’s most unsettling and most warmly observational , tacitly noting the social prejudices that unite and divide them both : they may both exist on society’s deprived margins , but it’s the innocent girl’s race that , at one key point , makes her a greater object of the police suspicion than the at - large bank robber beside her . less subtly , “good time” alludes to authoritarian abuse of power when connie and crystal channel - flip past one of those gussied - up cop reality shows : “i don’t wanna see them justify this shit , ” he mumbles .

the film has some really comforting charms , owing largely to mel mendoza - del rosario ' s ability to craft a screenplay that unabashedly adheres to a romantic formula that clearly works . naval realizes the story with a quaint understanding of both the mechanics of romance and the expectations of his market , resulting in a film that can be best described as a triumph of perfected mediocrity and levelled expectations .

star wars : the force awakens is not the only film emboldening girls to embark on new adventures . the sport of archery became suddenly popular with girls in 2012 , coinciding with two movies starring female heroines as archers : the hunger games and brave . in a study that examined this correlation , 7 out of 10 girls said that they’d taken up the sport because they were inspired by either katniss or merida .
“silent nights” confronts similar questions as it traces the relationship between a young danish woman and a ghanaian immigrant , whose mutual empathy ( and romantic attraction ) is tested by the drastically different circumstances they face . the humanism of this film , directed by aske bang and kim magnusson , is shadowed by an inescapable pessimism , an intimation that kindness , while essential , may not be enough when survival is at stake .
if you need a distraction from fighting about “la la land , ” cheering at “hidden figures” or weeping about “moonlight” — all of which might have been distracting you from other things — there are 15 oscar - nominated movies quietly soliciting your attention , along with that of the academy voters . the short - film nominees are often unsung awards - season highlights , too easily overlooked except for office - pool balloting purposes . this is a shame , since in about the time it would take to watch “ arrival ” three times or “ toni erdmann ” twice , you could take a remarkably wide - ranging tour of world cinema .
but story of your life diverges from arrival in one key aspect . while louise immerses herself in the heptapods’ language , the rest of the world’s experts , including ian , share knowledge about the aliens’ understanding of physics , math , and other disciplines . in the film , ian doesn’t have much narrative purpose . in the story , his explorations of how the aliens perceive light refraction winds up informing louise’s new understanding of time .
pattinson ' s connie is a classic anti - hero , repellent and attractive at the same time : you want him to keep finding an escape hatch , but you also want him to be caught in the end .
their lives are not easy , but “joe’s violin” feels downright soothing alongside its competition , which includes some of the most wrenching , unsparing images i have seen on film in the past year . the aptly named “extremis , ” by dan krauss ( on netflix now ) , plunges the viewer into the midst of gravely ill patients and the doctors who must help their families decide whether to continue life support . the reality of death is something we often avoid , and even for half an hour , this film is difficult to watch . but it is also gripping , suspenseful and moving — a hard look at a hard subject .

ozu used to liken himself to a “tofu - maker” , in reference to the way his films – at least the post - war ones – were all variations on a small number of themes . so why is it tokyo story that is acclaimed by most as his masterpiece ? dvd releases have made available such prewar films as i was born , but… , and yet the ozu vote has not been split , and tokyo story has actually climbed two places since 2002 . it may simply be that in tokyo story this most japanese tofu - maker refined his art to the point of perfection , and crafted a truly universal film about family , time and loss .

dubbed the geena davis inclusion quotient ( gd - iq ) , the tool not only can identify a character’s gender , but it knew to a fraction of a second how long each actor spoke , and were on - screen . “this was revolutionary , ” says davis . “no one’s been able to do that before with any accuracy . ” and gd - iq works fast ; what once took months to measure can now be quantified in real time .
film criticism also shifted in the 40s and 50s to include more artful analysis of movies ( suggestion : read some of the early 1940s film criticism from novelist james agee when he started at time in 1942 ; agee was hugely influential to our big american critics of the 60s onward—like the cahiers writers , and pauline kael and roger ebert . ) agee himself was excited by noir and pulp films , and he often fought to include them in time which boosted their profile in intellectual circles and was extremely formative for elevating many genres decades later , such as horror . agee also later went on to write the seminal , noir - inspired night of the hunter script that attacked the potential for hypocrisy in religion . attacking convention and the open embrace of the status quo is precisely what intrigued agee . that and the camera angles and use of lighting that conveyed much more than good vs . evil in it’s heightened black and white status .
silent floating in the air and apparent victory over gravity ? no longer valid . by attaching key importance to music , the 20th century modern dance definitely cracked down on idelogy focused on dreams . moreover , dance gained political dimension by freeing itself from the narrative character to which it had been , as it was thought , inextricably tied , and started to use a completely new language . introducing a new film medium into dance speeds up and radicalizes the development of these new tendencies . this process is still coninuing , irreversibly chaniging the perception of dance . unlike in the case of pictures , where our eyes register motionless obejcts only , in film bodies in constant motion are highly conspicuous ,
he golden globes , which are voted for by members of the hollywood foreign press association , are often a bit quirky in their selections . sometimes this is a good thing – as tim robey proves in his run - down of
but the globes have also given us some frankly absurd decisions . jennifer love hewitt for best actress ? a horribly bland u2 song over frozen ' s let it go ? it ' s been a strange bunch over the years : in 1994 , they nominated the usually brilliant emma thompson for the worst film she ' s ever made . as we count down the hours till the ceremony begins , you can read our guide to the strangest and funniest globes nominees of all time here .

manchester by the sea is about a loss so unmentionable it cannot and will not be mentioned , because the whole structure of the film , kenneth lonergan’s third as a writer - director , demands that we wait to discover what it is .
2001 : a space odyssey is a stand - along monument , a great visionary leap , unsurpassed in its vision of man and the universe . it was a statement that came at a time which now looks something like the peak of humanity’s technological optimism .
when f . w . murnau left germany for america in 1926 , did cinema foresee what was coming ? did it sense that change was around the corner – that now was the time to fill up on fantasy , delirium and spectacle before talking actors wrenched the artform closer to reality ? many things make this film more than just a morality tale about temptation and lust , a fable about a young husband so crazy with desire for a city girl that he contemplates drowning his wife , an elemental but sweet story of a husband and wife rediscovering their love for each other . sunrise was an example – perhaps never again repeated on the same scale – of unfettered imagination and the clout of the studio system working together rather than at cross purposes .
i just want to pick up on what hugh ( laurie ) said , you and all of us in this room belong to the most vilified segment of american society right now , think about it , hollywood , foreigners and the press .
moonlight , the new film from barry jenkins , is a nuclear - fission - strength heartbreaker . it’s made up of moments so slight and incidental they’re sub - molecular – but they release enough heat and light to swallow whole cities at a stroke .
timberlake is nominated in the best original song category for can ' t stop the feeling , which he wrote and performed . the song is the soundtrack for the film trolls , which also saw timberlake voice one of the main animated characters , branch .
working title pictures are almost their own cliche these days with their fantasy portrayals of upper - middle class british life that seem even further removed from reality now than before . this one even borrowed an idea from four weddings & a funeral with the dress - picking scene . still , if you forgive the shaky camera work , this one employs a clever plot device to dissect richard curtis ' s philosophical musings on life with another heart - warming feel - good story to add to the collection .
do the fluctuations in popularity of john ford’s intimate revenge epic – no appearance in either critics’ or directors’ top tens in 2002 , but fifth in the 1992 critics’ poll – reflect the shifts in popularity of the western ? it could be a case of this being a western for people who don’t much care for them , but i suspect it’s more to do with john ford’s stock having risen higher than ever this past decade and the citing of his influence in the unlikeliest of places in recent cinema .

a very unusual film screen - play , well written and shot , don ' t expect any cgi effects here , this is a very down to earth sci - fi that bears more than a passing resemblance to our current problem with world banks . surprisingly justin timberlake puts in a very professional performance , and not a song in sight , timberlake carries the part with a very grounded performance being so laid back that he is almost horizontal . amanda seyfried submits a polished performance although her make - up makes her look like one of those japanese animations of what a european looks like , complete with over - sized eyes . the film holds the attention from the first to the last frame and provokes some emotion from the viewer on several levels . certainly worth a watch , not quite a rolex , but much better than a timex .

the joy was doing it , the joy was making the film , even though it was challenging , i got to work with the most incredible actors and the most incredible director , mel gibson , i ' m so excited he ' s getting honoured ,

robert pattinson keeps proving that he can be an amazing actor when not playing a ridiculous vampire , delivering a magnetic performance in this frenetic , stylish and super tense movie bathed in neon lights but which only falters a bit in the end by wanting to have a
message .
the quirks run out . the far more interesting supporting characters are either eased out , or they find their own happy endings . the film ends up with the two leads and their expected conclusion , which is to be together in a manner that is as corny and crude as possible .
the soundtrack is spectacular and the plot so warm and delightful that it makes me want to simply forget the few missteps that pop up here and there along the way - and it is also surprisingly touching for a film that wants so much to sound profound and be a life lesson .

when malcolm clarke’s the lady in number 6 wins the oscar for best documentary short subject on sunday night , as it almost certainly will , there will no doubt be—among those few who bother to remark on the results in such an unglamorous category—a round of jokes about the converging factors that made its victory inevitable . this 38 - minute - long film is a portrait of the world’s oldest holocaust survivor , alice herz - sommer , a classical pianist who played in the orchestra of the potemkin - village concentration camp theresienstadt . after settling in london , herz - sommer continued to practice the piano for hours each day until near the end of her life—which came sunday at age 110 , two days before the close of oscar voting . between the academy’s longstanding preference for holocaust stories and its penchant for handing out posthumous awards , the lady in number 6 is pretty much a lock .
the lady in number 6 is one of the most inspirational and uplifting stories of the year . as the world’s oldest pianist and holocaust survivor , 109 year - old alice herz sommer shares her views on how to live a long and happy life . she discusses music , laughter and how to remain optimistic come what may . the film features beautiful photographs and rare film footage that truly brings alice’s extraordinary story to life .
the real surprise of the lady in number 6 might be that alice herz sommer’s story hadn’t been told before . a london concert pianist and oldest living survivor of the holocaust , the film easily could have been depressing , but the optimistic sommer’s account of her long , extraordinary life instead is at times thrilling , incredible , cheery and miraculous . the fact that at 109 she was still able to recall so many historical events and was willing to share her experiences is something to behold .
liverpool is a remarkable city filled with remarkable people . in 2013 liverpool lift - off film festival’s first year , we saw a staggering success . 650 submissions from around the world , a programme that stretched across 4 unique venues across the city , showcasing 34 films selected by our judges to sell out crowds across 4 memorable days . in 2014 liverpool lift - off returned to the kazimier and showcased the best of british and international filmmaking to bumper crowds and a whole host of press and the filmmaking community . liverpool lift - off film festival 2014 had the uk premier of the oscar winning short documentary the lady at number 6 .
early on in the film , alice relates a memory of her son at the age of three , sitting in their prague apartment before the war as she listens to classical music on the gramophone . as the piece reaches what she describes as an “enormous fortissimo , ” the boy begins to cry and she asks him what’s the matter . “i’m crying because the music is so beautiful , ” he replies . at that moment in the story , alice grows quiet , giving her interviewer a smile and shrug that seem to say , well , there you go—what else could we possibly have been put here on earth to know ? you will leave the lady in number 6 weeping for the exact same reason as that overwhelmed , happy little boy . please forget all about the oscars , and just see it .
but please don’t let the wisecracks about academy predictability and cliché keep you from watching the lady in number 6 ( available for rental or purchase here ) , which is neither predictable nor clichéd nor—get this—even remotely depressing . rather , this talking - head interview with a woman who lived through the worst the 20 th century had to offer—and outlived every member of her family , including , eventually , the treasured son who was her only relative to make it through the war—is a document of pure joy and an encounter with a person you will count yourself lucky to have met , even briefly and indirectly , once in your lifetime .
i’m not making much of a case here for the lady in number 6 ’s status as a nondepressing holocaust documentary , am i ? but maybe that’s because the case can really only be made by alice herz - sommer herself . this is less a film about one woman’s awful experiences in wartime than about the remarkable person she became afterward , in large part thanks to a lifelong belief in and dedication to the power of music to transfigure and redeem human suffering . “it is a mystery , ” she says in her still - heavy accent , pausing to choose each word carefully , “that when the first tone of music starts , it goes straight in our soul . . . . music is god . ” and throughout the documentary , she proves this claim with her fingers , sitting down at the keyboard to play bach , beethoven , schumann , and her wartime favorite , chopin , with exquisite expressiveness and control .
in 1943 , herz - sommer , who was a pianist , and her husband and son were sent from prague to a concentration camp in the czech city of terezin . she spent two years at the camp before being liberated by the soviet army in may 1945 .

all of the awards are audience choice and our winners get to enjoy full official selections at every - single subsequent lift - off film festival around the world . the liverpool lift - off film festival was created to stretch the possibilities of showcasing unheard talent in the north of england . liverpool was awarded the european cultural capital city back in 2008 . it is a thriving destination for audiences and filmmakers .
alice herz was born in prague in 1903 into a cultured jewish family—her mother was a friend of franz kafka and gustav mahler , and she recalls in the film how she and her twin sister would take walks with kafka while he made up stories for them . ( stories “which i’ve forgot , ” she tells the off - screen interviewer in the film , “but i remember the atmosphere . it made a deep impression . ” one can imagine . ) she became a successful concert pianist in the 1930s and married her true love , businessman and amateur violinist leopold sommer , whom she relates a few anecdotes about with the proud passion of a young bride . they had a son , stephan , and were just entering a halcyon period of their lives when the war pulled their family apart . a year after losing her widowed mother to deportation , alice was sent with her husband and son to theresienstadt . leopold would later be transported to auschwitz and then dachau , where he died in 1945 . but alice and her son would be allowed to wait out the war in the nazis’ ghoulish “model” concentration camp because of the music - loving german officers’ admiration for her playing .
i have a friend in new york , who is an older woman who is a retired concert pianist , and when i go to new york i often stay in her . and for several years she was , she would tell me about this lady , this other concert pianist who she knew in london , and she would say , look , you should really , really , just meet her . i think she’d make a terrific documentary . and i always found , you know , some clever way to politely dodge the issue because earlier , about , actually about 10 years ago , i made the film called prisoner of paradise , which was also nominated for an academy award , and it was a film about a very famous german actor and film director , kurt gerron , who was imprisoned in theresienstadt , oddly enough the same camp as alice , where he was forced by the nazis to make a movie . because he was like spielberg in the camp . so when the nazis discovered that he was in the camp , they said , let’s get gerron to make a film to show the world what a wonderful place the concentration camps are . it was a propaganda film , a pro - nazi propaganda film . and gerron made this film , and he literally made the concentration camp look like a kind of 1940s version of club med . it was an amazing , amazing film that he made .
overall , gravity won the most oscars with a total of seven , dominating the crafts categories .
oh , yeah . [ laughs ] because , you know , again , she’s not , there’s no guile in alice , and when she says in the film , “i love people , i love talking to people , i like listening to , ” it’s who she is , and it’s actually what keeps her alive . i think the fact that she’s sustained , by two things , by music , she still plays every day for 4 hours , she takes a huge amount of spiritual sustenance from the music that she plays and by kind of playing it in her hand even when she’s not playing it on the piano , and then she takes kind of intellectual and social sustenance from these people who come and visit her and talk to her and , you know , she absolutely adores nothing more than sitting in that armchair and chatting to people for hours on end . it just keeps her going . so the idea of a camera crew arriving on her doorstep was a little bit like the circus coming to town . she was interested in what we were doing , interested in the camera , where we were putting it , what we were doing , how we did our jobs . it was exciting for her and i think she loved it .
ellen degeneres hosted the show , which aired live on abc . the ceremony included a
movie heroes
theme , honoring big - screen real - life heroes , superheroes , popular heroes and animated heroes , both past and present , as well as the filmmakers who have brought them to life in theaters .
so we made a film about him and his experience in the camp and it was a tragic film . so for two years , two and a half years actually , i was deeply , deeply , kind of involved in holocaust material . every day , i would go to work , i’d go to my cutting room , and i’d look at footage that was just , awful . that was just , you know , disparaging and depressing and incredibly horrific . and in all candor , i did not want to go through that again . i’d done it . once is enough in a lifetime . you know , the holocaust is so unthinkably horrible so i figured , you know , i’ve done it , i think i made a pretty good film , i don’t need another holocaust film in my life it’s too disparaging . so when i heard that alice was not only a holocaust survivor , but she was also at theresienstadt , which was the camp i spent a lot of time at , and i shot there for a long time , it was like the last thing i needed in my life was another kind of repeat performance of the film i’d made several years before .
you know , i don’t know if she’s seen the movie . we dealt with alice through her grandson , ariel , who lives close to her in london . and he’s quite protective of her . and i think in fairness , i think quite rightly . he’s quite right to say , “let’s just shield her from too many kind of emotional ups and downs… . ” ariel has definitely seen the film and obviously we’ve asked him to show it to alice but whether or not he’s actually done that , i don’t know for sure . i know that her two friends [ in the film ] have seen it because they came to the screening . we had a special screening in london , and they loved it . so i know that they have spoken to her about it , and they’re very enthusiastic about it which is nice .
the part of the film that deals with alice’s experience at the camp is relatively short , and blessedly free of the stock newsreel footage of starved bodies that seems to appear in every documentary of the time and that threatens to turn our collective memory of the holocaust into a history channel montage . there is , though , one wrenching shot of the theresienstadt children’s choir singing onstage . the camera moves along the row of tense , miserable faces ( some of them incongruously made up as clowns ) pausing on the face of one thin , jug - eared boy at the end of a row . it’s alice’s son stephan , who would take the name raphael sommer when he went on to become a concert cellist after the war , eventually dying of an aneurysm at 64—a lifespan that , as his century - plus - old mother points out , no longer really counts as reaching old age .
“the film is finally finished and we promise you it has been worth the wait . i am in awe at the photographs and some of the 70 year old film footage that our researchers have found . if you want to learn some invaluable lessons about how to live longer and live happier , alice herz sommer is a master teacher . i have seen this film a 100 times and its power , like the power of music grabs me every time and keeps me coming back for more . ”
that’s kind . in all candor , i’m a little bit bewildered by the kind of reception that it’s getting . and i think it’s hard because i haven’t seen it for a very long time . and monday this week , there was a kind of a screening , here , in montreal , and i… literally , the first time ever , i sat in front of my own movie and watched it like a member of the audience . because it had been so long since i’d seen it so i had a little bit of a distance . and it was really only on monday that i kind of , you know , i got it . [ laughs ] when you’re in the process of making a film , and you’re looking at so many factors , obviously , one knows that you’re trying for a certain feel and a certain kind of emotional response , but you’re doing it from the point of view of being a professional filmmaker as opposed to being an audience member and , you know , you can’t ever really calibrate how people are going to react .

she’s quite different on so many levels . and the thing that was most striking about her . the thing that really convinced me in a nanosecond that i had to make this film was she didn’t carry any enmity , no pain , no tragedy . and it’s not that she hasn’t experienced these things , but she processed them so much differently to everyone else that i met . you know , who else in the world goes through the holocaust , goes through a concentration camp , and comes out the other side and says , you know , sometimes i actually think i’m grateful to have been there ? you know , because of the legends that she left . i mean , i don’t know anyone who’s grateful for the holocaust . and she’s not saying it disingenuously ; she’s saying it from a very kind of deep and profound place . because she took something away from it which gave her strength and gave her , kind of forged who she is today , so you know , it was a very , it was a very , very compelling kind of assignment .

finally i was making a trip to london and my friend found out about it , and she said , well , at least go and meet her , go and have a cup of tea with her . so i went to meet alice , i spent a hour with her , and of course when you meet her , you kind of get it immediately . there was just no way when i walked out of that apartment that i could not figure out a way to make a film about her . she was , and remains , pretty remarkable . i mean , she’s like no one i’ve ever met . i mean , obviously , i made a film about the holocaust and theresienstadt , i must have met , certainly several hundred people who had experiences in the holocaust . and they all have unique stories to tell and they’re all special in all kinds of ways . i’ve never met anyone like alice .
the director also spends time interviewing two of alice’s close friends , who are camp survivors , one of whom first met her in theresienstadt . all three women evince an extraordinary optimism and strength of character , but even among their company , alice is something special . the word “saint” sounds overly sanctimonious ( not to mention profoundly un - jewish ) , but there’s something holy about this woman’s utter openness to the moment , her deep commitment to her art , and her tangible happiness and gratitude for every minute of extra life she’s been vouchsafed . “sometimes it happens that i am thankful to have been there , ” she says of her time at the camp , “because this gave me a … i am richer than other people . when i hear them saying , oh , this is terrible—no , it is not so terrible . ”
come oscar season , all cinephiles are ready to campaign for their favorite film . are you team gravity or team 12 years a slave ? jennifer lawrence or lupita nyong’o ? while movie fans have likely seen all the big nominees by this point , there are smaller categories where even some film enthusiasts may not be as well - versed . leading up to the oscars , ew will tell you all about one often - overlooked category : best documentary short . come back each day this week for a look at one of the nominees , and impress your oscar party with your knowledge when the category appears on sunday’s broadcast .
well , the film was about alice , so you know , we were , i mean . you know , she does have memory lapses . she’ll say , hang on a second , was that this year or that year ? and in fact , there’s one slight inaccuracy . when she remembers going to a concert with her mother to see gustav mahler and i think she says she was , i can’t remember now , i mean , my memory’s lapsing , she said she was 7 or she was 9 . she was off by a year , anyway . the mahler symphony was premiered one year earlier . so she was one year younger than she said . but i think at the ripe old age of 110 , and to be , you know , to be off by a year when it happened more than a century ago is allowable . [ laughs ] we didn’t take her to task on it .
12 years a slave was named best picture , while supporting actress honors went to the film ' s lupita nyong ' o . john ridley won best adapted screenplay .
director malcolm clarke’s interview with ew took place last week . unfortunately , this past weekend sommers passed away at the age of 110 — an inevitability clarke knew he was facing when filming .
“we had to move very quickly , clarke explained . “alice was not young when i met her , i think she was 107 when i met her . any 107 year old , even if they’re very healthy , they are clearly closer to the end of their life than the beginning of their life and so we wanted to get this woman on film while she was still healthy and sprightly and chipper . we did it as fast as we could . no one got paid , it was a labor of love for everyone , it was actually pretty much everyone who had worked on prisoner of paradise came back and gave their services , you know , gratis , so we could get the movie quickly and get her on film while she was still alive . ”
“kids all over the world grow up on superheroes , what we , their parents , must remind them , is documentaries tell stories about ‘real superheroes . ’ superheroes are based on great people , real people , like alice herz sommer . ” – nicholas reed , producer
