Links zu Texten zu Cannes-Filmen

Einen Schnelldurchlauf durchs Festivalprogramm machen Akin Ojumu and Jason Solomons im Observer. Eher dämlich, wenn Sie mich fragen, und sie bringen das Kunststück fertig, Tropical Malady und Die Zukunft des Menschen ist die Frau noch nicht einmal zu erwähnen.  Und hier die Liste der zehn meistversprechenden Filme im Guardian. Auch nicht viel besser.  2046 Offizieller Text zu Wong Kar Weis Wettbewerbsbeitrag:  "He was a writer. He thought he wrote about the future but it really was the past. In his novel, a mysterious train left for 2046 every once in a while. Everyone who went there had the same intention... to recapture their lost memories. It was said that in 2046, nothing ever changed. Nobody knew for sure if it was true, because nobody who went there had ever come back -- except for one. He was there. He chose to leave. He wanted to change." Tropical Malady Bei der Bangkok Post ein Weerasethakul-Porträt mit Interview-Auszügen zum neuen Film, leider demnächst kostenpflichtig. Hier ein paar Zitate (auf Nachfrage den ganzen Text): "Tropical Malady, like all previous Apichatpong films, spells trouble for anybody who tries to simplify its essence into words. The story revolves around two gay lovers who wander into a forest when suddenly one of them is transformed into a tiger, leaving his lover to search for him. But such sci-fi/fantasy/drama/occult synopsis, according to the director, doesn't exactly fit the indescribable form of the movie."'Well, it's not a drama,'' he said, mulling things over. ''But it's not a fantasy film either. It has elements of the supernatural, and it has special effects. But at the end, for me, it's a very simple film with a very simple story. ''Well, the film has no points, no formal structure. I prefer to let it meander. You could say its feeling is more or less the same as Blissfully Yours, though the editing will be slightly quicker this time. See, the thing is I like the feeling of being in a forest _ that's why I wrote the script in the first place.'' "Apichatpong reaps the best from his unique position: He's not a product of the advertising industry like most high-flying new-wave Thai directors, who nurture artistic gallantry yet have a second-thought hiccup on commercial possibilities. Instead, he's chosen to test his limits as an artist by working outside the studio system, and the vision he's pursued is so genuine that it's stretching the boundary of Thai cinema as a whole." Hier unser Weerasethakul-Porträt Innocence aka Ghost of the Shell 2  Einiges zu erfahren gibt es bereits über den Cannes- Wettbewerbsbeitrag "Innocence" aka "Ghost in the Shell 2" von Mamoru Oshii - das erste Anime, das je an dieser Stelle gezeigt wurde. Die englische Website ist hier, ein Interview, das Mark Schilling im letzten März mit Oshii geführt hat, ist da. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, based on the Roger Lewis biography of that name and directed by Stephen Hopkins (Lost in Space, 24), is in competition at the Cannes Festival next month. Advance word is very positive (Geoffrey Rush's performance as Sellers is said to be "uncanny")." Geoffrey Macnab im Independent  La Niña Santa Website des Films "Un hotel inmenso en Salta. Una adolescente con obsesiones místicas. Un médico forastero que la inicia en los secretos del deseo. La niña santa, la nueva película de Lucrecia Martel (La ciénaga), trenza esos elementos en una ficción oscura y sensual en la que todo parece a punto de estallar." Mariana Enriquez schreibt über den  - wie sie findet: exzellenten - Film und führt ein Gespräch mit der Regisseurin Lucrecia Martel. In Radar, auf spanisch. "Segunda película de Lucrecia Martel: buenas y malas noticias. Las malas tienen que ver con que la película es mucho menos concisa, mucho menos concentrada y mucho menos sorprendente que La Ciénaga, y que esa falta de sorpresa proviene de que Martel volvió al mismo universo sin que, esencialmente, salga a la luz un aspecto nuevo del mismo. Buenas noticias: hay un trabajo único sobre la imagen, secuencias pefectas y dos actuaciones muy buenas (Carlos Belloso y, especialmente, Mercedes Morán)." Kritik bei Terra.com
