Sci Fi Movies Dvd Killing Of A Sacred Deer (2017)

Cannes Film Festival 2. Preview . The venerable festival bears down on us in its customary shape- shifting guises: the scarred survivor of revolutions, elections and industry evolution; the capricious entertainment kingmaker; the frisky red- carpet party girl; the flirtatious lover who promises much but bestows favors sparingly. Palme d’Or, and scores more will screen out of competition; or in official categories and events including the more avant- garde A Certain Regard section, the Directors Fortnight, and the Critic’s Week.

A giddy anniversary mindset in which champagne corks are perpetually popping may prove a challenge to sustain in a milieu in which, as ever in recent years, metal- detecting security wands are waving here, there and everywhere like wind- blown palm fronds.

Frankly, this thing is terrifying and looks like nothing more than the infamous “scoop” riot-dispersal vehicles from 1973 dystopian sci-fi movie Soylent Green.

It will ultimately be the job of jury president Pedro Almodovar, reputed to be a fun- loving guy, to decide what the awards legacy of this milestone festival will be—celebratory or sobering. As the world at large screeches into a sharp right turn politically, indications are that the world’s most glamorous film festival has invited films that address a broad menu of global issues. Meanwhile, in the competition selection, both Kornel Mundruczo’s “Jupiter’s Moon,” and Michael Haneke’s “Happy End,” fictionally deal with refugees. Fatih Akin’s “In the Fade” stars Dianne Kruger in a tale of racism and neo- Nazis.

With Cannes 2. 01. I could rent a five- bedroom luxury villa with swimming pool and sea view for umpteen- thousand Euros: hmm, probably not. How about a swanky apartment overlooking the fabled Croisette, with spacious terrace suitable for cocktail parties?

Private jet rental: nope; portable Wi. Fi modem: yes. Her Royal Highness Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Sirivadhana Barnavadi requests the pleasure of my company along with a few hundred of her closest friends, to a trade promotion for Thai films. The A- list cast includes Marion Cotillard, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Louis Garrel and Mathieu Amalric. For much of the festival’s history, the carpet of honor was always a bright, Provence- sunny yellow. I’d personally like to see them buck the worldwide red carpet clich.

Winner of the Palme d’Or for “The White Ribbon” in 2. Amour,” winner of the Grand Jury Prize in 2. The Piano Teacher,” and Best Director in 2. Cach. A third Palme win would set a festival record. Sure to be hotly anticipated, both for the director’s awards history and for the project’s film- world subject matter, is “Redoubtable” by Michel Hazanavicius, a comedy/drama biopic of Jean- Luc Godard, with Louis Garrel in the lead.

Hazanavicius was a popular favorite with “The Artist” in 2. Palme. His vindication came in the form of five Oscars, an additional five nominations, and three Golden Globes.

This is his first time back at Cannes since 2. The Search,” a true dud set during the conflict in Chechnya. Todd Haynes was a popular favorite to win the Palme in 2. Carol,” but the jury had other ideas, awarding only Best Actress to Rooney Mara. He comes to Cannes with “Wonderstruck,” involving two stories linked across fifty years, and starring Michelle Williams, Julianne Moore, and Amy Hargreaves. A dysfunctional family is at the center of Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” starring Nicole Kidman, Alicia Silverstone and Colin Farrell. Nobody does dysfunction and a thrillingly perverse, twisted world view like this Greek director, who first came to attention with his Oscar- nominated bizarre family drama “Dogtooth,” winner of the 2.

Certain Regard section at Cannes, and followed by his Oscar- nominated “The Lobster,” winner of the 2. Cannes Jury Prize. Advertisement. Two of the competing French directors weigh in with offerings that sound eminently provocative.

Jacques Doillan, famed for “Ponette,” plus, known as Jane Birkin’s ex in his private life, will present “Rodin,” a drama of the sculptor’s torturous relationship with artist Camille Claudel, starring Vincent Lindon, the 2. Cannes Best Actor winner for “The Measure of a Man.” Francois Ozon, known for his 2. Swimming Pool,” and currently for “Frantz,” in U.

S. It’s hinted to be loaded with sex and nudity. One tradition Cannes stubbornly adheres to in this anniversary year is maintaining the predominant maleness and ethnic whiteness of the competition. Asia is represented with three films, two Korean and one Japanese, and Africa is nowhere to be seen. Hong Sangsoo (the prolific School of the Art Institute of Chicago alum) competes with “The Day After,” and Bong Joon- ho (known for “Snowpiercer” and “The Host”) competes with “Okja,” a sci- fi drama that features a gentle monster.

They join long- time veteran Naomi Kawase, who competes with “Radiance,” in her eighth trip to Cannes, her fifth time in competition. The 2. 01. 6 festival featured three female directors in competition, a relatively sorry number, but something of a record. Download Focus Ver2 (2015) Movie Score.

This year, at least the status quo holds with another three: Kawase, plus American Sofia Coppola, and Scottish director Lynne Ramsay. She competed only once previously, with “We Need to Talk about Kevin,” starring Tilda Swinton. Coppola, staked her claim at Cannes with her debut feature “The Virgin Suicides” in 1. Marie Antoinette,” in 2. This year she’s in competition with “The Beguiled,” a Civil War story that may sound familiar because, like the Clint Eastwood film of the same title, it’s based on Thomas Cullinan’s novel.

Press opinion can predict a new winner daily, but only the jury decides. American indie sibling co- directors Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie, are this year’s newest newbies in competition with crime drama “Good Time.” Noah Baumbach is in the Cannes competition for the first time with “The Meyerowitz Stories,” a contentious family drama featuring an intriguing lineup of stars including Adam Sandler, Emma Thompson, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman and Candice Bergen. Over this twelve- day festival I’ll be scrambling to see all 1. Certain Regard section, which offers its own selection of 1.

And still there’s more! Special out- of- competition screenings include David Lynch’s new “Twin Peaks” series, the series “Top of the Lake: China Girl” co- directed by Jane Campion, and new features by directors including Roman Polanski (“De Apres Une Histoire Vrai”) and Agnes Varda (“Faces, Villages”). There aren’t enough hours in the day. The tradition of honoring great feline performances continues, and once again I’ll have my eyes trained to cats on the big screen.

Cat lovers can be on the lookout for my imaginary Palme de Whiskers award on the final day of the festival. Cannes 2. 01. 7 Preview - Roger. Ebert. com from The Mint on Vimeo. Next Article: Ebertfest 2.
