Fresh off the release of the Gaslight Anthem’s new album History Books, the New Jersey rockers appeared on CBS Mornings’ Saturday Session to showcase a pair of tracks from their first LP in nine years.
For the mini-set, Brian Fallon and company performed “Autumn” and the title track, the latter sadly (and predictably) without Bruce Springsteen, who appears on the History Books version of the song. The band also dug out “Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts,” the Garden State-inspired cut from the Gaslight Anthem’s 2008 EP Señor and the Queen.

Notebook is covering the Cannes Film Festival with an ongoing correspondence between critics Leonardo Goi and Lawrence Garcia, and editor Daniel Kasman.Pacifiction.Dear Leo and Danny,In my first correspondence, I wrote that the Competition got off to a slow start, and, well, maybe it never really did find its footing. Most critics, myself included, seemed to agree that the festival was on the whole an unmemorable one, especially in comparison to the strong 2021 edition, which no doubt benefited from a spate of pre-pandemic holdovers. There are of course exceptions. Jerzy Skolimowski’s Eo was a genuine UFO, delivering images and sensations that I’d never quite seen or experienced, while Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castiang-Taylor’s De Humani Corporis Fabrica (The Fabric of the Human Body) played something like a journey to inner space to match the Discovery’s journey to outer space in 2001: Space Odyssey, even...

“Bob The Barber”
By Raymond Benson
One of actor/comedian Bob Hope’s most cherished films is Monsieur Beaucaire, a 1946 remake of a Rudolph Valentino silent picture from 1924, both of which are based on a 1900 novel by Booth Tarkington. Hope’s version, directed by George Marshall, is certainly a loose adaptation because it turned what was a historical romantic drama into a flat-out comedy.
Woody Allen has been known to cite early Bob Hope movies as an inspiration for his onscreen persona in the director’s early “zany” comedies like Bananas and Sleeper. When one views something like Monsieur Beaucaire or My Favorite Blonde (1942), the comparison is strikingly apt. Hope creates a persona of nervous mannerisms, lack of self confidence masked by bravado, clumsy but endearing interaction with the opposite sex, and witty one-liners. Beaucaire exhibits Hope in fine form, producing a good...

December 24, 2014 — not exactly at 9 p.m. eastern standard time — certainly capped off Andy Señor Jr. shooting without a script in Havana, Cuba as he staged a production of Jonathan Larson’s “Rent” and shot behind-the-scenes footage for what eventually became the documentary “Revolution Rent.”
Opening the show on Christmas Eve certainly became a gift, not only to the Cuban theater company he put together for the production and the local people the show touched once it was mounted, but for Señor himself, who took his career to the next level by directing the documentary alongside Victor Patrick Alvarez.
“It doesn’t matter what I do in my career, no matter what’s going on, if there’s an opportunity to do ‘Rent,’ I hope to always have this in my life,” Señor tells Variety. “There’s nothing more special than to see a group of actors discover not only the...

The Queen’s Gambit co-creator Scott Frank is heading back to the 1960s. Clive Owen is set to star in Monsieur Spade, a one-hour drama series from Frank and City On a Hill showrunner Tom Fontana, which is currently being pitched, generating a lot of interest from buyers, Deadline has learned.
The predominantly French language series will be produced by French production company Haut et Court and will be shot entirely on location in France. It is being eyed as an international co-production with a premium cable network or streamer.

Raise High the Roofbeams, Cinema: Falardeau’s Warm Homage Clangs Carpe Diem
“I think that one of these days…you’re going to find out where you want to go. And then you’ve got to start going there” is one of the myriads of quotable references in cult American writer J.D.

Mexican distributor Salón De Belleza has picked up Lois Patiño’s second feature, “Red Moon Tide” (“Lúa Vermella”), from the film’s Italy-based sales agent, Lights On.
Lights On’s Flavio Armone said that the company is also in talks with distributors in France, Germany and Colombia for theatrical rights and Mubi for SVOD.
Felipe Lage, the film’s executive producer and the cofounder of new Galician cinema champion Zeitun Films added that he hoped that the Mexican deal would be the first of many.
“Lights On is a young sales agency with which we already collaborated on a short film. As they were planning to move ahead into feature film sales, it was only natural that we worked together again,” he said.
“Needless to say this year has been very complicated, but with Lights On we feel we are in good hands. A distribution deal was secure for México – with more to follow,...

Hollywood agency ICM Partners has come on board Rohena Gera’s festival favorite “Sir” and will represent it for sales in Anglophone markets U.S., U.K. and Australia, among other territories. The Hollywood agency will also serve as the film’s awards season lobbyist.
A delicately observed study of class differences in Indian society, “Sir” stars Tillotama Shome as a domestic live-in help with Vivek Gomber, a man from a wealthy family who seems to have it all, but is somewhat lost. As their worlds collide and the two individuals connect, the barriers between them seem only more insurmountable.
The cast also includes Divya Seth Shah, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Bhagyashree Pandit, Anupriya Goenka and Bachan Pachera.
“We have a very intimate yet hierarchical relationship with the people who work in our homes,” Gera said. “I wanted to explore that without being preachy, and a love story allowed me to do that.

Gera waited for theatres to open after the pandemic rather than go for a digital release. "OTTs are great in that they make films very accessible. But I really love the theatrical experience.

David Lowery’s vision of Arthurian legend looks downright demented in The Green Knight.
The story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight remains one of the most charming and well-regarded examples of the chivalric tradition in Arthurian legend. It is a story of bravery, magical bargains, and romance, and it’s persisted for about six hundred years as a classic fantasy… so it’s about time someone got weird with it. That might be the best way to describe David Lowery’s wicked new telling of the story in The Green Knight, a medieval fantasy that looks every inch the A24 indie.
The Green Knight is the latest movie from director David Lowery, a filmmaker of eclectic taste and style. His previous works include Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Pete’s Dragon, A Ghost Story, and The Old Man & the Gun.
The film shot in 2019 in Ireland’s Ardmore Studios.

Adil Hussain, prominent star of Indian independent cinema, will be present at the Busan International Film Festival as the male lead of two Indian world premieres.
In Vijay Jayapal’s “Nirvana Inn,” Hussain headlines alongside Sandhya Mridul (“Bridge”) and Rajshri Deshpande (“Sexy Durga”). At an earlier stage, the film was at the Busan Asian Project Market in 2018 and subsequently received post-production support from the festival’s Asian Cinema Fund.
Hussain also stars in veteran filmmaker Goutam Ghose’s “The Wayfarers” (“Raahgir”) alongside Tilottama Shome (“Sir”).
“The role I play in “Raahgir “is of the poorest of the poor, a tribal man from Central India, a wayfarer, but a giant of a human, who’s humanity is put to the test by the circumstances he suddenly finds himself in. In “Nirvana Inn” my character journeys through the darkest of human despair and guilt and unfathomable sadness which descends on him, and is beyond his control,...

When Indian independent cinema deals with intercaste relationships or the issues involving employers and their servants, it usually produces dark, gritty and high-caliber dramas. However, “Sir”, the feature debut of director and screenwriter Rohena Gera, is crafted in a completely different style. It doesn’t fall into the same category as critically acclaimed “Fandry” by Nagraj Mangule or classic like “Paar” by Goutam Ghose, but this is not a flaw. Quite the opposite, the female director’s approach is pleasurably refreshing.
“Sir” is screening at London Indian Film Festival
Before “Sir”, Gera came out with a witty documentary “What’s Love Got to Do with It”, which was an interesting portrayal of a young privileged generation of Indians, exploring their expectations about love and marriage. The film also raised the issue of family and gender roles that prevail in society despite the changing lifestyles. “Sir” explores those further, but in a fictionized manner.
