De son vivant
It seems director Emmanuelle Bercot remains nearly inextricable from Catherine Deneuve, as the director and icon are reuniting on Bercot’s sixth feature, De son vivant (In His Lifetime). Unfortunately, Deneuve suffered a minor stroke, which is being produced by Les Films du Kiosque and France 2 Cinema. Scribe Marcia Romano (who also wrote Bercot’s 2015 title Standing Tall – read review) is on hand. Joining Bercot’s team is Dp Yves Cape (Carax’s stunning Holy Motors; Bruno Dumont’s 2006 Flanders and 1999 Humanite), who recently filmed Bercot on the set of Cedric Kahn’s Happy Birthday (2019), which co-starred Deneuve, while Cecile de France and Benoit Magimel are also in the cast.…...

Kurt Vonnegut Jr., who remains one of the modern era’s most celebrated American writers, is a largely untapped inspiration for cinematic adaptation—perhaps because he remains ahead of (his) time, even today. Just as his rise to acclaim in literature was prolonged, cinema has taken even longer to navigate Vonnegut.
Few have attempted to mount a Vonnegut adaptation, usually to mixed or poor reception. For Vonnegut, it was his sixth novel, the seminal Slaughterhouse-Five published in 1969, which became his breakthrough, and of course, a film ahead of, behind and far beyond the notion of time, here presented as a darkly satirical mobius strip in the time traveling journeys of the unreliable, potentially insane narrator Billy Pilgrim.…...

Legendary French actress Catherine Deneuve has been hospitalized in Paris following “a very limited and therefore reversible ischemic stroke,” according to a statement from her family that was circulated to local media. Deneuve has been filming Emmanuelle Bercot’s feature drama De Son Vivant since October and is believed to have been on set yesterday before falling ill last night and being admitted to an unspecified hospital.
The multi-award winning 76-year-old icon has “no motor function deficit, and must of course take some time off,” her agent Claire Blondel said.
Deneuve, an Oscar nominee for 1992’s Indochine, has maintained a packed schedule with two films already released this year including André Téchiné’s Berlin Festival entry Farewell To The Night and Cédric Kahn’s Fête De Famille. Coming up on Christmas Day in France is Hirokazu Kore-Eda’s The Truth, which opened the Venice Film Festival in August with Deneuve...

At this point, I think it’s safe to say that “Crisis on Infinite Earths” is a dream come true for DC fans, the likes of which none of us ever thought would be realized. I mean, not only is it cool enough that Marv Wolfman and George Perez’s masterwork is being adapted to live action in the first place, but we’ll also see no less than three Supermen – played by Tom Welling, Tyler Hoechlin and Brandon Routh, respectively – united on the small screen.
That said, it’d probably take us the rest of the day to list off each and every superhero to play some sort of role in this massive crossover event. Heck, the producers have even reached as far as securing the services of Batman ’66 alum Burt Ward and Birds of Prey‘s Ashley Scott. If that doesn’t get across the point of how infinite Earths will be represented,...

The 23rd annual Colcoa French Film Festival in Los Angeles, taking place September 23-28 at the Directors Guild of America, has landed the U.S. premiere of Amazon Studios’ Oscar contender “Les Misérables” for its opening night. The film directed by Ladj Ly, which won the Jury Prize at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, will kick off a week of new and classic French-language films for La audiences.
The event will offer a splashy La bow for Amazon’s Oscar hopeful in a city packed with Academy voters. France has yet to submit a film for the 2020 Best International Film Oscar, but “Les Misérables” is among the top contenders. Inspired by the riots of 2005 in the suburbs of Paris, Ly’s film revolves around three members of an anti-crime brigade who are overrun while trying to make an arrest.
