Anne Fontaine continues her love stories of contradictory, passionate and mischievous. Fontaine, who has directed such films as Before Coco Chanel, The Forbidden Love and The Language of Love, pursues modern depictions of a classic story. Fontaine’s hometown Catherine Braillat’ın style similar films I’ve mentioned in my writing, Braillat was trying to blend and normalize taboo issues, of course, Fontaine more women’s desire to become the object of the male world is experiencing a drift against the opposite sex. Pure As Snow is an unbearable attraction to innocence.

Film review for Men in Black: International

June 17, 2019June 17, 2019

Although the Men In Black universe did not satisfy us, it continued to come back to back with the gas of revenue in the first one. The first of the film was a great success in 1997, except for the second film, the third was very successful in terms of the script. The actors of the series directed by Bary Sonnenfeld were known as Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Inspired by the father-son / master apprentice relationship between Agent J and Agent K, the film is a series of humorous and sometimes mediocre stories about the chase between aliens and agents coming to our world.

American Woman; An inspiring drama about 1970s radicals

June 4, 2019June 4, 2019

There is a fascinating story at the heart of American Woman, based on Susan Choi’s audacious 2003 Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel of the same name. A first feature written and directed by Semi Chellas, a writer on Mad Men, the drama is inspired by Patricia Hearst’s time spent underground in 1974 and ’75, after she was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army and joined their cause.

The Dead Don’t Die: A star-studded zombie comedy from Jim Jarmusch

June 4, 2019June 4, 2019

It’s been 15 years since the release of Shaun of the Dead, and 10 years since Zombieland, with its fabulous Bill Murray cameo, so it might seem odd that the glitzy opening-night film of this year’s prestigious Cannes Film Festival should be a zombie comedy starring none other than Bill Murray.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino

May 23, 2019May 24, 2019

Twenty-five years after Quentin Tarantino won the Palme d’Or for Pulp Fiction, he is back at Cannes with his latest film – and nothing at the 2019 Festival has been so feverishly anticipated. A new Tarantino film is always an event, of course, but when it is nearly three hours long, when it is about the movie business, and when it has the Sergio Leone-evoking title of Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood… well, what could be more exciting for the cinephiles on the Riviera? Many of us were hoping to make use of Brad Pitt’s line at the end of Inglourious Basterds: “I think this just might be my masterpiece.”

Booksmart: Wild, warm high school comedy puts girls on top

May 22, 2019May 22, 2019

“Booksmart” besties Molly and Amy pretty much aced high school: Valedictorian and student-body president Molly (Beanie Feldstein, who is Jonah Hill’s sister) got accepted to Yale, her top-choice university — and the first step in her goal of becoming the youngest Supreme Court justice — while study buddy and super-activist Amy (Kaitlyn Dever, “Justified”) plans to spend some time volunteering in Botswana before continuing her studies at Columbia. Looks like all those late nights at the library paid off! Except that somewhere along the way, these two were so busy worrying about their futures that they missed out on being teenagers.

Five Feet Apart: Teen romance riddled with clichés

April 16, 2019April 16, 2019

You could say the terminally ill teen romance genre makes a mockery of its subjects. It’s a time in our lives when our emotions are so unwieldy that every decision feels like life or death. So why not throw a deadly disease into all those adolescent dramas? Hollywood has cashed in on all our tears and snotty tissues – from A Walk to Remember to The Fault in Our Stars – and we’ve eagerly lapped up every emotional manipulation.

Greta: A Sophisticated portrayer of unconventional relationships

April 16, 2019April 16, 2019

It’s a sign of progress that the great Isabelle Huppert can emerge from her acclaimed performance in “Elle” with enough industry clout to land a hambone villain role in a project that probably wouldn’t exist if she hadn’t said yes to it. “Greta,” a thriller directed and co-written by Neil Jordan (“The Crying Game”), is a 2019 update on a popular sub-genre from a specific period in film history, the ’80s and ’90s. It was a time when multiplexes never lacked for preposterous thrillers about law-abiding people menaced by agents of chaos who had sympathetic backstories but were so cruel and frightening that the audience could cheer their deaths without guilt.

Tribeca Review for ‘Little Woods’

April 16, 2019April 16, 2019

Little Woods is a gritty thriller set among women on the losing side of the petroleum-drilling boom that was supposed to make America great again. It’s also a western that’s true to the rugged West of today, where the scramble for resources leaves casualties all around. Nia DaCosta’s heartland tale, rough around some edges, is a promising feature debut.
