Stanley Kubrick S Barry Lyndon Costumes Reused In Marie Antoinette

Before embarking on the costumes themselves Canonero discussed how Coppola brought her a box of Ladurée macarons. The delightful macarons weren’t just a gift for the project they were about to embark on, but were meant to inspire the color palette for the film. Coppola explained that she meant a long time at the Costume Institute at the Met to look at dresses from Marie Antoinette’s historical period, taking note of how vibrant they were in comparison to the more muted paintings....

Succession Creator Explains Season 3 Finale Jesse Armstrong Interview

Much has been made over “Succession’s” love for literary references.

Just take a look at the opening lines of their 1986 children’s book “The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday....

Sung Kang Christopher Nolan S Love For Tokyo Drift Is Validating

“I’m sort of original recipe, the Rob Cohen original,” Nolan said when asked about his favorite “Fast” movie. “But I’ve got a very soft spot for ‘Tokyo Drift’ actually. And Justin Lin’s iterations, as they got crazier and bigger and crazier and bigger they became something else, but something else kinda fun. The fun thing about those [‘Fast and the Furious’] movies is even as they’ve gotten bigger and bigger, as sequels have to do — everyone always complains that sequels get bigger, but we are the people making sequels get bigger....

Tarantino S Star Trek Script Has So Much Fun With Chris Pine S Kirk

“I wrote a ‘Star Trek’ with Tarantino, and that was a sci-fi script on which I could have fun and lean into some bigger, broader things,” Smith said. “Kirk is always just so fun. Tarantino and I had so much fun with him, because Kirk is just William Shatner, y’know? It’s like: you’re not sure who is who, so you can kinda lean into that. Because you watch Chris Pine and he’s playing Kirk, but he’s also playing William Shatner a touch....

The Cow Who Sang A Song Into The Future Review Haunting Chilean Fable

The fish are dying from pollution, the bees are disappearing, and the milking cows are not far behind, not unlike the beginning of Douglas Adam’s “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” And like the 2005 adaptation of the book, the lamentations of the animals is presented in song form, with the fish and cows singing woes of death and despair, begging for their suffering to serve some larger purpose. As the fish start dying in a river in the south of Chile, a woman (Mía Maestro) emerges after being dead for decades....

The Dig Review Netflix Movie Stars Carey Mulligan And Ralph Fiennes

That simple avoidance of painting this whole tale with a single brush is one key way that director Simon Stone zags against some of the standard pitfalls of historical retellings. (Though, to be clear, the film is not without at least one literal pit fall.) Based on the 2007 John Preston novel of the same name, “The Dig” also takes its cues from the details surrounding the 1939 Sutton Hoo discovery, which found centuries-old remnants of a past civilization buried beneath unassuming mounds on the property of Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan)....

The Paper Tigers Review A Lovable Twist On Old School Kung Fu Movies

If “The Paper Tigers” sags around the middle and loses its focus as it limps towards a finale that doesn’t hit with the force that it should, well, perhaps that’s to be expected from a martial arts movie whose heroes can’t throw a punch without pulling a muscle. Tran establishes his old-school Kung Fu bonafides right from the jump, as the action kicks off with a shadowy prologue in which the great Sifu Cheung (Roger Yuan, whose natural gravitas lends this film some much-needed heft) is killed by an assassin’s deadly palm technique in the alley behind the Chinese restaurant where he works these days....

Thomas Vinternberg Interview On His Historic Oscar Nominations

Vinterberg’s career has weaved and bobbed over the years, but he’s hardly a newcomer to the Oscar season blitz: Vinterberg’s 2012 thriller “The Hunt” was nominated seven years ago, and “Another Round” reunited him with that movie’s star, Mads Mikkelsen. Here, the actor plays a high school teacher who joins a couple of pals in attempting to drink booze throughout the day to evade their midlife crises. The movie oscillates between dark comedy and tragedy, with a woozy sense of determination steeped in the tragic backdrop to the project....

Three Thousand Years Of Longing Review George Miller Grants Our Wish

A bittersweet modern fairy tale from one of cinema’s most bombastic virtuosos, George Miller’s “Three Thousand Years of Longing” might have some reservations about the 21st century — the movie often wrestles with the impact that science and technology might have on our ancient sense of wonder — but at the bottom of this tightly bottled epic sits a question that should resonate especially hard with people who have spent too many of the last 3,000 days stuck inside their homes with nothing but “content” to keep them company: Are stories enough to satisfy our lives?...

Timoth E Chalamet Is This Generation S Leonardo Dicaprio

Their significant difference is Chalamet stands at the threshold of a major career. By the same point in his own work, DiCaprio could have retired and be considered an iconic star. None of this diminishes Chalamet’s significant achievements, but it highlights differences in their eras. “Bones and All” is no “Titanic” (not that anything is). The best-case scenario for this $16 million-budgeted drama is a breakout, not a blockbuster. Guadagnino (“Call Me by Your Name,” “Suspiria”) has established a reputation for edgy, R-rated films with significant (and stylish) sex and violence....

Written by celebrated British screen scribe and playwright Dennis Kelly (creator of “Utopia,” and co-creator of “The Third Day” and “Pulling”), the film “is the story of a family, like so many, who found a way to survive — together. This hilarious and heartbreaking story intimately shows two partners forced to re-evaluate themselves and their relationship through the reality of lockdown,” according to the official synopsis. Horgan is beloved for her work in front of the camera and the creative force behind series like “Pulling” (which she co-created with Kelly), “Catastrophe,” “Divorce,” and “This Way Up,” among many more....

Tom Cruise Doesn T Change The Narrative For Anything Not Even Cannes

Tom Cruise waited until they could do it right. Tom Cruise labored for years figuring out the right script (maybe with some help from mssrs. Christopher McQuarrie, Eric Warren Singer, and Ehren Kruger?), as well as the best time and place to execute. (By the way, the movie is a riveting, taut, and hugely entertaining E-ride.) And of course, Cruise insisted that the studio wait to release the movie in theaters....
