if you’ve posted anything online about fossil fuels and climate change lately , the chances are you’ve seen a response like this . cowspiracy : the sustainability secret may have started as a crowdfunded documentary by us filmmakers kip andersen and keegan kuhn but following a year of online success a new version of the film – executive produced by hollywood star leonardo dicaprio – has now been launched on netflix . the film follows andersen’s investigation into the climate impact of animal agriculture , and his attempts to get a series of large us environmental ngos to speak to him about it . it’s a compellingly told story , as most of the green groups seem reluctant to answer his questions or to justify their focus on fossil fuels rather than livestock emissions .

while this unrelentingly midtempo movie milks brooklyn for its chic , it manages to denude it of its color . a moment of dramatic anger from sam feels forced and abrupt , while — surprise — the climax involves a dash to a joyous reunion . the filmmakers sought the rights to joni mitchell’s classic song “a case of you” ; to her credit , she wouldn’t hand them over , perhaps because the tune is imbued with deep , honest feelings .

dawson city : frozen time in the silent era , the gold rush town of dawson city in the yukon was the last stop on the film - shipping circuit . the creative solutions used to dispose of flammable nitrate stock resulted in the inadvertent preservation of 500 films — forgotten reels were excavated in the 1970s . bill morrison ( the found - footage collage “decasia” ) uses those clips to tell a story that interweaves film history and a sociological history of dawson .

it’s perfectly possible to make a powerful environmental case against the meat and dairy industry without using made - up numbers . a lot of the rest of cowspiracy does just that – the film is packed with plenty of real facts about the dreadful deforestation , water use , and local environmental damage caused by animal agriculture . but there’s another major problem with the documentary : it’s built on the assumption that persuading western people to change their lifestyles is the best way to save the world .
we love improv , but we can’t find the page you’re looking for . let’s take it from the top and try again .
rather surprisingly , the movie feels the same way . audience members rolling their eyes at a hackneyed romantic crisis may be won back when , mere minutes later , the script ( penned by long , his brother christian , and o ' donnell ) finds a way to put their thoughts into the mouth of vince vaughn ' s alan . granted , alan is a publisher whose greedy embrace of sam ' s hackwork makes him an unlikely advocate for unformulaic romance , and his insights throw a case of you right back into the world of cliches like the last - ditch race through streets to a spurned lover ' s arms .
if crown heights plays out a bit like a whodunit podcast , there’s good reason : it’s based on a 2005 episode of this american life entitled “diy , ” one of several episodes that , listening back , feels like proto - serial material . what makes “diy” and crown heights compelling , of course , is that the person doing it themselves is not the correspondent looking for a juicy story , but someone close to the wrongfully accused , who has a personal stake in the clearing of his friend’s name . crown heights recognizes the magnitude of that sacrifice intellectually , but cinematically it never quite gets its arms around it . we’re left floored by the facts of colin warner’s case ; the film itself falls away .
first some background . a few weeks ago the norwegian author tom egeland posted an entry on facebook about , and including , seven photographs that changed the history of warfare . you in turn removed the picture of a naked kim phuc , fleeing from the napalm bombs – one of the world’s most famous war photographs .
dean demetri martin , a former fixture of “the daily show , ” directed , wrote and stars in this film , playing an illustrator who , after his mother’s death , works through a complicated relationship with his father ( kevin kline ) . from last year’s tribeca film festival , mike hale wrote in the new york times that mr . martin “delivers a winning combination of winsomeness and rue . ” gillian jacobs and mary steenburgen also star .
the critics are divided over david fincher ' s epic romance . while some see it as an inventive piece of film - making offering much insight into the nature of death and ageing , others wonder whether the curious case of benjamin button says anything particular about anything much at all . will this unusual combination of cutting edge techniques and old - fashioned , century - spanning storytelling be seen in years to come as one of 2009 ' s most notable movies ? or is any pretence at greatness undermined by its twee premise and contrived air of antiquity ?

a ghost story the director david lowery returns to indies after “pete’s dragon” with a film that’s more readily experienced than described ; perhaps it’s best just to say that critics were entranced at sundance . rooney mara and casey affleck ( both from his “ain’t them bodies saints” ) play a couple . there is a ghost ( a sheet with cutout eyes ) and a lengthy shot in which ms . mara eats almost a whole pie .

not the best . pretty c grade . evan reminds me of a younger , cute drew barrymore here . just made me wish i was watching one of her cute rom coms from the 90 ' s ! most of it is a bit sketchy with some stereotypical unlikable supporting characters and idiotic scenes . the romantic ending is nice , and if the rest of the film had been more like it , i might have been more impressed .

mr . mansky’s inventiveness was inspired by the methods used by dziga vertov , an early - 20th - century russian documentary maker , in “man with a movie camera” ( 1929 ) .
there are buster keaton two - reelers with more ambitious special effects , more epic stunts and more elaborate chase scenes , but in my experience , none get more laughs than the scarecrow . the film never stops to catch a breath as it moves from place to place , always setting up and paying off new laughs . the best moments include an ingeniously designed one - room house , an appearance from the great luke the dog , and some truly divine knockabout between keaton , joe roberts and keaton’s father , joe .
before oskar fischinger made his groundbreaking music - synchronized abstract animation , he documented his walk through the german countryside one frame at a time to make this short film . as jittery images of people , time - lapses of fields and other moments whiz by , we get the impression of a long journey condensed into a short , lasting memory .
it’s hard to say what sergei eisenstein’s most famous film influenced more : the soviet spirit or film course syllabi . while the novelty of the film’s montage may be a bit overstated ( abel gance—and he’s not the only one—played gleefully with rapid editing in la roué a couple years beforehand , and many u . s . films were cutting together exciting action sequences at the same time ) , there’s a genuine excitement and urgency in this workers’ rallying cry .
though there are the usual sight gags in the little tramp ' s quest to find the money with which to restore the girl ' s sight , city lights is more a film about personal relationships : a key figure in the film is a rich businessman who only recognises his new friend when drunk . nothing , though , is more important than the final scene , still powerful in its ambivalence . blind no more , the girl slowly realises that the hobo in front of her is her secret benefactor , and the flicker of conflicting feelings on chaplin ' s face – humility and joy – vindicate his decision to stay silent . damon wise
director : colin trevorrow starring : tba space and time - travel are all the rage right now , so it may be time to get a move on with this reboot . since trevorrow was attached to the remake as director along with writer derek connelly two years ago , we’ve heard little about it’s progress .
this review was originally published on september 11 , during the toronto international film festival .
in the early 20th century , many explorers set off to antarctica and the south pole in the name of country and science . english photographer herbert ponting came along to take pictures and film robert falcon scott’s terra nova expedition , and , luckily , didn’t follow scott and his small crew to the south pole itself , or we wouldn’t have this film . it features breathtaking tinted shots of the icy landscape , and personal moments with the crew and their adorable pets . ( watch the film with an audience for a communal struggle between love for the cute , plucky black cat and disgusted shock at his racist name . ) ponter’s eye for composition is great , but the film also acts as a cultural time capsule , showing how people once viewed the world and its unknown areas .
after the war , hepburn continued to pursue an interest in dance . she studied ballet in amsterdam and later in london . in 1948 , hepburn made her stage debut as a chorus girl in the musical high button shoes in london . more small parts on the british stage followed . she was a chorus girl in sauce tartare ( 1949 ) , but was moved to a featured player in sauce piquante ( 1950 ) .
in 1954 , kelly won the role of georgie elgin in the country girl , opposite bing crosby and william holden . it was not a glamorous role for kelly , who portrayed the dowdy and neglected wife of an alcoholic . she gave a raw and uncharacteristically stripped - down performance , which garnered an academy award nomination for best actress . this time she won , beating judy garland ( a star is born ) to claim her oscar .
but by 1929 , when clara bow prayed for the destruction of paramount’s new soundstages ( and she was right , by the way , it was a stage for sound that was burning ) , the writing was on the wall . and not every actor who had prospered in the silents would make it through the transition . the reasons were varied , though .
routine musical benefits from the strength of its cast . carson and morgan are a fun team backed up by the effervescent janis paige and always amusing cuddles sakall . unfortunately martha vickers fresh from her amazing performance in the big sleep is wasted in

role . pleasant and colorful if you ' re in the mood .
the mitchell & kenyon film company created hundreds of films in great britain , but their best material is their “actualities , ” documenting every day life at the turn of the century . panoramic view of the morecambe sea front is particularly captivating as the camera travels through the english beach resort town , observing the different people on holiday as it passes by . in the age where anyone can shoot a video on their phone and upload it to youtube , it’s hard to remember just how special it is to have a record of life at this place and time , and share curious glances with people long dead . mitchell and kenyon films from the british film institute , along with other archival titles , can be viewed on the bfi player .
speedy is harold lloyd’s most consistently fun and effortlessly likable film . take away the marquee race - against - time finale through new york city , and you’re still left with the misadventures of a good - natured boy who just can’t seem to hold onto a job . the romance between lloyd and his girlfriend ( the fantastic ann christy ) is sweet , and since the film begins after their courtship , has a different dynamic than the typical love story . oh , and babe ruth isn’t too shabby either .
the wind is one of the four or five movies that best demonstrate the richness and variety , and the purity and clarity of expression that silent cinema had achieved by the time it was fatally and forever subsumed , like a lost atlantis , beneath a deluge of sound and speech . king vidor ' s the crowd , murnau ' s sunrise , paul fejos ' s lonesome and fritz lang ' s metropolis all arrived , like the wind , just in time to see silent cinema made obsolete in a matter of months in 1927 - 28 .
director : roger donaldson starring : tba . although travis fimmel is currently attached to the project . like logan’s run , all quiet is positioned as a re - adaptation of erich maria remarque’s 1929 novel , rather than a remake of the original film . daniel radcliffe was once attached to the production , but it’s understood he is no longer involved .
in 2012 , mr . mansky met a north korean delegation at a vladivostok film festival and spent the next two years negotiating with the government for access . under the final contract , in addition to providing the script , the actors and the guides , north korea censors would vet daily footage and retain final approval over the finished film . mr . mansky would not be allowed to talk to the actors or film anything other than sanctioned scenes .
everybody knows that talkies destroyed the careers of silent film actors . . . but is that the whole truth ?
the protagonist of “moonlight” reflects the conflicted and fluid masculinity of young african - american men in the united states , even in just the way he’s presented . the film is divided into three chapters—“little , ” “chiron” and “black”—the three names used to refer to the same person that we follow from childhood through adolescence to adulthood . he’s a boy and then a man who has trouble figuring out his place in the world , which is also articulated by the character being played by three separate , all - remarkable actors .
orson welles , who knew a thing or two about silent movies , famously anointed buster keaton ' s crowning achievement

born in philadelphia in 1929 , grace kelly rose to fame as a leading hollywood actress following her prominent role in high noon . along with her academy award - winning performance in the country girl , she starred in the alfred hitchcock films rear window , dial m for murder and to catch a thief . kelly left hollywood behind after marrying prince rainier iii of monaco in 1956 , thereby becoming known as princess grace . she died in her adopted home country in 1982 , following a car accident .
there’s just one problem : the action is fake . the north korean government cast the film , wrote the script and provided guides to feed the actors their lines while managing every detail of the project . in reality , zin - mi’s father is a journalist , and her mother a cafeteria worker . “don’t act like you’re acting in a movie , ” a guide scolds the girl at one point . “act naturally , like you do at home . ”
regardless , kelly soon found that film was more amenable to her talents . in the years just following world war ii , the film and television industries were both booming , and kelly soon moved to hollywood . she would eventually feature in 11 films and star in over 60 television productions .
sir arne’s treasure floods the screen with haunted memories , deep regrets and a dreaded sense of whatever the scots called karma 450 years ago . when the swedish film industry shifted its focus from quantity to quality in the late teens , the country’s films started displaying some of the richest visuals anywhere . director mauritz stiller had the time he needed to capture the essence of this tale of a scottish mercenary who falls in love with the only surviving daughter of the family he robbed and murdered . watch the way the camera snakes around the tower in the prison escape sequence early in the film , or the intimidating ghost sequences that fill the hero with dread .
director : rob marshall starring : emily blunt , meryl streep and lin - manuel miranda set 20 years after the disney original , the new film will take place in depression - era london . it is due to take its storylines from pl travers’s children books focusing on poppins’s continued adventures with the banks family . blunt will star as the titular supernanny alongside the tony - winning creator of the hamilton musical as a lamplighter named jack .
steamboat bill , jr . ’s climactic cyclone sequence—which is at once great action and great comedy—would on its own earn the film a place on this list . the iconic shot of a house’s facade falling on keaton is only one of many great moments in the free - flowing , hard - blowing sequence . but the film also showcases some of keaton’s best intimate acting , including a scene in which his father tries to find him a more manly hat , and a painfully hilarious attempt to pantomime of a jailbreak plan .
depending how you cut it , the roaring ’20s’ can be a long decade too . these uncertain times began in the aftermath of the first world war , and didn’t end until the wall street crash in october 1929 . arguably , the jazz age wasn’t truly dead and buried until prohibition was repealed in the us in 1933 . and for hollywood cinephiles , we may say the decade of decadence lasted until the hays censorship code began to bite in 1934 .
as this italian film’s title suggests , it’s about the constant motion of the modern age , as a young couple stays on the move , unable to find a place in the industrial age . director mario camerini went on to make tame , socially conservative comedies under mussolini’s regime , earning him a reputation as a fascist stooge . you wouldn’t guess that watching rotaie , a stylistically bold film about social upheaval and aimlessness . the characters experience the life of both the poor and the rich , and the camera reflects their uncertainty at some moments , and boredom at others . in an age where you could travel the world faster than ever before , you could also change your life with the same pace .
anne frank is a jewish girl who had to go into hiding during the second world war to escape the nazis . she kept a diary while in hiding at prinsengracht in amsterdam . anne and the others in hiding were discovered and deported to the concentration camps . of the eight people in hiding only anne ' s father , otto frank , survives .

tony curtis and jack lemmon are musicians on the run from chicago mobsters , dressing up as women to avoid identification , and to mingle with monroe’s band . all would run smooth were it not for the temptations of romance , sex and expensive yachts . and as curtis and lemmon find out what it feels like for a girl in the permissive 20s , they gain an insight into bow’s unhappiness : heartbreak , harassment , high - heels and all .

yasujir ? ozu isn’t generally thought of as a gangster film director , but that’s not the only thing that makes dragnet girl so interesting . ozu pays tribute to the american genre , but doesn’t strictly adhere to it . he creates a weird sort of hybrid setting that’s like an american japan , and populates it with characters facing genuine moral dilemmas . working with high stakes , ozu makes a film that’s more urgent in plot than his familial dramas , but no less artful .
in her diary , otto reads about the plan anne had to publish a book after the war about the time she spent in the secret annex . initially , otto frank feels uncertain about the idea but he finally decides to fulfill his daughter ' s wish , but he decides to do it after all . later , the diary is translated and adapted to both film and theatre . people all over the world get to know anne frank’s story , and are deeply touched .
victor sjöstrom shows the beauty and terror of both the outdoors and human nature in this story of an icelandic outlaw who finds redemption and tragedy as he tries to live life . the actor / director moves from town to mountains , using the season and landscapes to help tell his story . the film’s most shocking moments remain startling , perhaps because of how they contrast with the film’s deliberate , carefully crafted manner .
when she was a dancer on broadway , brooks recalled , her best friend was lesbian ( like alice roberts’s countess in the film – a rare representation at a time when on - screen homosexuality was taboo ) , and shows were backed by rich men with eyes on the chorus line ( just like the character of schön ) . and in berlin , “sex was the business of the town” , she remembered .
to watch a soviet silent comedy , you must be prepared for some zany surreality . i don’t know how or why , but from my grandmother ( 1929 ) to the house on trubnaya square ( 1928 ) to the extraordinary adventures of mr . west in the land of the bolsheviks ( 1924 ) , these u . s . s . r . laughers reliably go off the rails , then tie the rails in a knot for good measure . with happiness , aleksandr medvedkin delivers plenty of oddity as a hapless farmer struggles to find his place in society , even after his horse - wife finds hers . but medvedkin also reigns the film into a better - shaped and tighter - focused narrative than most of his contemporaries , making this the most successful work of the genre .

the jazz singer was famously the film that changed hollywood , but that change didn’t actually come overnight . and the jazz singer wasn’t even technically the first ‘sound’ movie ; warner bros had released their first feature length vitaphone film , don juan , the year before . don juan had music and sound effects on its soundtrack ( at the time a phonograph ) , but no dialogue . the jazz singer broke that barrier… and then it took six years for everybody else to really catch up . studios were still releasing silent films into the 30s , and they would often release silent and talkie versions of their movies side by side . the reality for the studios is that not every theater in the country was wired for sound , and the upgrade process took a while .
otto frank manages to set up a business in amsterdam . edith , margot and anne follow him to the netherlands . they find a place to live on the merwedeplein . the franks feel safe and free again . the children go to school , otto works hard on his business and edith takes care of the household . but then world war 2 breaks out . on 10 may 1940 , germany invades the netherlands . the frank family is in danger once more .
the film jumps to chiron as a teenager , dealing with more intense bullying and questions about sexuality . these are the years in which everyone claims to be sleeping around and a young man like chiron ( now played by ashton sanders ) struggles to find himself , especially now that all semblance of a normal home life is gone . he literally has nothing , and it takes kindness from his friend kevin ( played by jharrel jerome at this age ) to bring him comfort . but even that is turned in a time , place and age in which compassion is sorely lacking , when young men believe that violence is the answer to what will make them feel better or allow them to fit in .
mike nichols was an american theater and film director best known for his 1967 classic , the graduate . he won an emmy , oscar , tony and grammy awards—and is one of only 14 to do so .
showcasing her dancing abilities , hepburn starred opposite fred astaire in the musical funny face ( 1957 ) . this film featured hepburn undergoing another transformation . this time , she played a beatnik bookstore clerk who gets discovered by a fashion photographer played by astaire . lured by a free trip to paris , the clerk becomes a beautiful model . hepburn’s clothes for the film were designed by hubert de givenchy , one of her close friends .
the release of baz luhrmann ’s new adaptation of the novel , 3d trickery , hip - hop soundtrack and all , accentuates the distance between our time and that of f . scott fitzgerald . but the motion picture business can’t forget that it blossomed in the 1920s and many wonderful films have been set in that tumultuous decade , with its cinematic gifts of flappers , gangsters and high - rolling extravagance .
given the death of robin williams , the status of the jumanji remake is somewhat up in the air . according to columbia pictures president doug belgrad , the new film is set to be reimagined and updated version of the original . with her and tolbach ' s spider - man connection , may kirsten dunst star in the film again ? perhaps not in the same role as her 13 year old self …

russian director yevgeni bauer is one of the great unsung hero of the movie camera . things you learned the americans or the germans did first in the 1920s , he did several years earlier . his traveling camera shots in the child of the big city emphasize the opulence that a poor seamstress enters into , then devours with no regret . the melodrama’s story is strange , and runs contrary to the typical image of the poor city girl , making the conclusion a small nightmare . other bauer films to seek out include after death , the dying swan and the revolutionary .

kelly expressed a deep love of performance as a child . in addition to participating in school plays and community productions , she occasionally modeled with her mother and sister . while attending stevens school , a small private high school in philadelphia , she continued to dream about acting . the arts held a prominent place in the kelly family : two uncles—walter c . kelly , a vaudevillian performer , and george kelly , a pulitzer prize - winning playwright—both heavily influenced her . it was george who later encouraged his niece to pursue a full - time acting career , mentoring her through her rise in hollywood .
only a few weeks after the play premiered , news reports indicated that hepburn was being wooed by hollywood . only two years later , she took the world by storm in the film roman holiday ( 1953 ) with gregory peck . audiences and critics alike were wowed by her portrayal of princess ann , the royal who escapes the constrictions of her title for a short time . she won the academy award for best actress for this performance .

earth is the final part of dovzhenko ' s silent trilogy ( following the nationalist fantasy zvenigora ( 1928 ) and the avant - garde anti - war film arsenal ( 1929 ) , and is brimming with exuberant youth , but haunted by the shadow of death . this is never more apparent than in the heart - stopping sequence when vasyl dances home after a night with his true love . the young man performs an impromptu hopak on a dusty path as the sun rises , exemplifying passion , vigour and virility with every cloud that rises from his stamping feet . a kulak - ordered bullet stops the dance , and vasyl , mid - action : a brutal execution , starkly underplayed .

forget the silly a - day - to - get - married plot—buster keaton didn’t actually like the play seven chances was based on—and simply marvel at how the film’s gags build and build in a glorious crescendo . even though you know that giant swarm of brides is coming , the twists and turns of the chase deliver laughs every time . for a great example of the great stone face’s deadpan acting , see his reaction when he has angry brides in one direction , and a landslide in the other . on an unfortunate sidenote , a few scenes are marred with completely unjustified racist humor .
( in january , a museum of modern art curator , worried about retribution from north korea , removed “under the sun” from its doc fortnight festival . according to emails provided to the times by the film’s german producer , the curator cited the sony pictures hack in 2014 , when a group thought to be associated with north korea leaked company emails and demanded that sony not release “the interview , ” a satire of the country . in june , rajendra roy , the museum’s chief film curator , said the film was “ wrongly disinvited . ” )
if you want to see how many different terrifyingly sinister facial expressions one man can make , the penalty is the film for you . no role showcases lon chaney’s brilliant acting better than his portrayal of a criminal mastermind who lost his legs as a young child and turned evil in the process . not even the cop - out ending can dull the impact of the film’s horror .
an interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,
sorry to bother you .
returning to her glamorous roots , hepburn set new fashion standards as holly golightly in breakfast at tiffany & apos ; s ( 1961 ) , which was based on a novella by truman capote . she played a seemingly lighthearted , but ultimately troubled new york city party girl who gets involved with a struggling writer played by george peppard . hepburn received her fourth academy award nomination for her work on the film .
the talkies were a long time coming . thomas edison always intended to marry images to sound , and as far back as 1885 was trying to get his phonograph and his kinetoscope to work together . that was one of the big problems keeping sound out of film - synchronization . beyond that there was a problem modern audiences wouldn’t even consider ; while projecting onto a screen enabled an entire theater to watch the movie , pre - electric amplification just couldn’t make the sound loud enough .
the director behind the swedish version of the girl with the dragon tattoo is said to be attached to this remake of this nineties cult classic about a group of medical students who experiment with death in order to explore the afterlife . happy valley ' s james norton looks set to make the jump from television to hollywood with this role , joining juno star ellen page as one of the trainee doctors who dice with death .
he didn’t hear anything from north korea until “under the sun” began receiving praise at film festivals . the government’s ministry of culture contacted its russian counterpart ( which had financed some of the film ) , demanding it destroy the film and punish the filmmaker , which russia didn’t do . moscow , though , did ask mr . mansky to remove its name from the credits , but he refused . in an article , a former culture minister , mikhail shvydkoy , accused mr . mansky of endangering the lives of the north koreans who participated in his documentary .
, whose battle - with - the - elements plot was a perfect match . sjöström had proven himself a master of capturing the outdoors in his swedish work , and here he harnesses the weather to create wind and sand that are as much characters as the film’s fine actors .

how did mr . mansky get these scenes through the censors’ daily edit ? his cameras held two memory cards , and at the end of each day , one crew member would create a delay so that another had time to copy it . mr . mansky then handed the card to the censors , who overnight removed anything they found objectionable .
actress , fashion icon , and philanthropist audrey hepburn was born on may 4 , 1929 , in brussels , belgium . at age 22 , she starred in the broadway production of gigi . two years later , she starred in the film roman holiday ( 1953 ) with gregory peck . in 1961 , she set new fashion standards as holly golightly in breakfast at tiffany & apos ; s . hepburn is one of the few actresses to win an emmy , tony , grammy , and academy award . in her later years , acting took a back seat to her work on behalf of children .
f . w . murnau’s final film before his tragic death underlines just how capable he was of adapting from one style to the next . stepping away from hollywood , he collaborated with famed nanook of the north documentarian robert j . flaherty , who wrote the screenplay with murnau and directed the opening scene . murnau documents the lives and culture of indigenous pacific islanders while also weaving a tragic love story . the quietly harrowing final sequence ensures that the film will never stop lingering faintly in the mind .
the royal couple had three children : princess caroline , prince albert and princess stéphanie . despite many attempts by filmmakers to lure princess grace back into the film industry , she resisted , embracing her role as a ceremonial leader of monaco and becoming involved in many cultural and charitable organizations . though some believe she deeply missed her acting career , she often spoke of the rampant problems afflicting the film industry :
hollywood amuses me . holier - than - thou for the public and unholier - than - the - devil in reality .
liza minnelli , the daughter of judy garland , is a star in her own right . her finest film role was playing sally bowles in the 1972 musical cabaret .
even at a time when soviet filmmakers were pushing the limits of the form and veering off in many different directions , alexander dovzhenko stood apart from his contemporaries , more interested in poetry than propaganda . the first film in his “ukraine trilogy” ( before arsenal and earth ) , zvenigora jumps around hundreds of years in the country’s history , blending modern commentary with folk tales and fantasy—all of which links to a buried ukrainian treasure . while we certainly get to see some bourgeois pigs—including a savage sequence in which rich people want to see a man shoot himself in a packed theater—the work is more about connection to land—and the pain of the fight for it—than the glory of the u . s . s . r .

mr . mansky argues that his moral dilemma was whether to make the documentary in the first place . further , he said , he took precautions to protect zin - mi and her family . “i was very worried about them , which is why i didn’t include some footage that would have harmed them . ” in may , the north korean news media reported that zin - mi presented flowers to kim jong - un , the country’s leader , at the party congress .
buster keaton’s first film at mgm would also be the last one on which he was allowed to work the way he wanted with the crew he’d assembled during the previous eight years . that gives the cameraman a bit of a bittersweet feel when it’s not making you laugh your ass off at a chinatown riot or wowing you with a long take following keaton up and down an apartment building’s stairs . keaton ( and many of the other silent comedians ) liked to improvise scenes with a crew of gagmen , feeling out and adjusting scenes until they were just right . shooting on location allowed keaton to do this one last time before pre - planning and fixed budgets took the magic out of the process .
“i say serious things , and people laugh ! ” such is the simple tragedy of lon chaney’s character in victor sjöstrom’s he who gets slapped . chaney plays a great scientist who loses his ideas and wife to a scheming baron , then becomes a clown so he can re - live the humiliation in the circus ring every night . sjöstrom crafted the best chaney film of them all by taking taking all of chaney’s favorite obsessions and exaggerating them even more than usual . the main character is sympathetic yet terrifying , an amplification of all our biggest fears and hangups . when the circus calls him onto the stage one last time , it’s the grand exit of all grand exits . not for people with coulrophobia .
he took as his model leni riefenstahl’s “triumph of the will , ” her film about the 1934 nazi party congress , which is considered both a masterpiece of propaganda and an important documentary . “i thought this would satisfy the north korean regime on the one hand , ” he said , “and give the world a view of the real north korea on the other . ”
a few short years after starting in film , victor sjöström made an essential work that shows off both his love for bold , dynamic compositions and his wide range as an actor . adapted from the henrik ibsen poem , the film follows the life and hardships of a sailor who loses his family , then later comes back in contact with the person responsible for his tragedy . the themes of revenge , forgiveness and redemption would continue throughout sjöstrom’s career , but they’re particularly deep - felt here .
the new documentary “under the sun” follows an 8 - year - old north korean girl named zin - mi as she prepares to join the korean children’s union , run by the workers’ party . zin - mi and her parents — her mother works in a soy - milk plant , her father is an engineer at a garment factory — share abundant family meals , ride pyongyang’s spotless subways and pay their respects at a bronze statue of north korea’s founder , kim il - sung .
the final reel , shot at the studio’s insistence , is quite clever in the way it skirts the command for a happy ending . a title card comes up beforehand and declares it all an unrealistic fantasy , then murnau intentionally makes it so absurd that it only serves to underline the desperation felt in the rest of the film .
the golden age of swedish silent cinema ended with a bang via this this epic tale of a drunken priest’s redemption . mauritz stiller conjures a series of defining moments in gosta berling’s life , including sex scandals , wolves , fire and romance , with a level of grandeur that recalls gone with the wind . lars hanson carries the film with his fiery eyes and bravado exchanges with costars , including gerda lundquist and greta garbo ( in her first film ) .
the problem with a lot of silent german ( and u . s . ) “street films” is that they’re so intent on showing the dark side of society that the movies just become one long barrage of terrible things happening to some poor girl who doesn’t deserve any of it . what sets harbor drift apart is that its assortment of characters start in the gutter , and see a chance , in the form of a valuable necklace , to get out . mittler makes the expected critiques of the class divide , but he also gets deeper into the dark side of human nature with keen expressionistic flare .
“i shouldn’t have bothered scoring the last 15 minutes , ” rodney sauer of the mont alto motion picture orchestra told me after accompanying safety last at the san francisco silent film festival . he said he and his ensemble couldn’t even hear themselves over the uproarious laughter in the castro theatre during harold lloyd’s famous building - scaling sequence . the scene , with its famous clock - hanging finale—is such a perfect mix of suspense and comedy that it doesn’t much matter that the rest of the film seems to exist merely as a lead - up to it .
come for the tale of jealousy and infidelity , stay for the animated dead insects . polish - russian animator vladislav starevich had a wry sense of humor and a talent for turning little pests into big - screen stars . and so this delightful short features straying beetles , exotic dragonfly dancers and pushy grasshopper cameramen . starevich satirizes the still - young film industry with a clever story , but the real fun is in his miniature sets and tawdry bugs .

it ' s the latter impression that endures . dovzhenko ' s symbolism is both rich and audacious . his scope comprises vast pastoral landscapes , and intimate fleshy nakedness . perhaps its most celebrated sequence is the magnificent opening scene : the painful counterpoint between a dying man , his infant grandchildren and the bursting fruit of his orchard . this is living cinema , as refreshing and vital as the film ' s own climactic downpour . pamela hutchinson
born on may 4 , 1929 , in brussels , belgium , audrey hepburn was a talented performer known for her beauty , elegance and grace . often imitated , she remains one of hollywood & apos ; s greatest style icons . a native of brussels , hepburn spent part of her youth in england at a boarding school there . during much of world war ii , she studied at the arnhem conservatory in the netherlands . after the nazis invaded the country , hepburn and her mother struggled to survive . she reportedly helped the resistance movement by delivering messages , according to an article in the new york times .

at the age of 22 , audrey hepburn went to new york to star in the broadway production of gigi , based on the book by the french writer colette . set in paris around 1900 , the comedy focuses on the title character , a young teenage girl on the brink of adulthood . her relatives try to teach her ways of being a courtesan , to enjoy the benefits of being with a wealthy man without having to marry . they try to get a friend of the family , gaston , to become her patron , but the young couple has other ideas .
anne doesn’t just keep a diary during her time in the secret annex . she also writes short stories and collects her favourite sentences by other writers in a notebook . anne hopes for her diary to be published as a novel after the war . that’s why she starts rewriting it . but anne never manages to finish it . she ' s discovered and arrested before she completes her work .
of course , there is more to the film than simply that sequence . if there were not , it could hardly have survived its endless revivals and regenerations—including a screening in trafalgar square in 2004 to the accompaniment of a new pet shop boys score . you could blame the techniques eisenstein used here and in strike for much of the stroboscopic editing that has dominated hollywood for the past 30 years , but that would be to miss the beauty , clarity and rage of his methods . the film still stands as a distillation of all that was revolutionary about this filmmaker , and all that can still be revolutionary in cinema . ryan gilbey
lois webber would go on to make several social - message features , some reflecting rather skewed , but nevertheless deeply held worldviews , but her purest cinematic punch is suspense , a 10 - minute collaboration with her husband , phillips smalley , that provides exactly what the title promises . the film crosscuts between a woman under siege by a tramp and a husband hurrying home to save her , if he can avoid the police . the inventive camera work ratchets up the tension more effectively than even d . w . griffith did at the time . what’s most satisfying , though , is how weber and smalley distill one of the most primal feelings cinema can offer .

alfred hitchcock ’s first sound film was also his last silent , as blackmail was made in both formats . while the sound version is known for hitchcock’s experiments with the new technology ( most famously a scene that emphasizes the word “knife” ) , the silent version flows much smoother . and donald calthrop’s performance of the blackmailer feels even creepier with just his face and body language doing the job .
grace potter is a singer and musician who fronts the band the nocturnals . she also sang on the hit duet
you and tequila
with country singer kenny chesney .
admittedly , it ' s a flawed story . the acting is theatrical , the characters bizarrely naive and neurotic , and the plot notoriously muddled . even the recent release of a near - complete version failed to explain everything . but in its broader strokes , metropolis draws on deep roots ( biblical , jungian , wagnerian , fairy - tale ) to explore themes that continue to concern us : the dehumanising effects of industrialisation ; the fetishisation of technology ; the divide between the rich and poor , the rulers and the labourers , the
head
and the
hands
. politically , the film has been read across the spectrum , from social - democratic to pro - fascist . ( lang ' s wife and co - writer thea von harbou did , indeed , join the nazi party later on . )
“vertov had a whole bunch of techniques for capturing ‘life unawares , ’ like hiding cameras , surprising people by sticking a camera in their face , distracting people with a fake camera and generally catching them off guard , ” said jeremy hicks , a scholar of russian film at queen mary university of london . mr . hicks called “under the sun” mr . mansky’s “most vertov - like film” because of the lengths it goes to show the audience how it was made . for instance , text hovers over shots to reveal the truth behind the carefully curated illusion . “the script of this film was assigned to us by the north korean side , ” reads one .
( unfortunately , the soundtrack on the warner archive dvd leaves something to be desired . he who gets slapped deserves a fine score , like the one the matti bye ensemble played at the san francisco silent film festival in 2011 . hopefully it’ll be available some day . )
in his later years , charlie chaplin was known for bringing pathos into his comedy whenever he had the opportunity . city lights is the movie where he earns every bit of it . while its structure resembles chaplin’s usual picaresque format , there’s more of a deliberate purpose as the tramp tries to help a poor , blind flower girl , played adorably by virginia cherrill . harry myers also deserves a mention for his performance as the millionaire who’s generous when he’s drunk and can’t remember his good deeds when he’s sober .
