“Inglourious Basterds” Footage
Entertainment Tonight has debuted some exclusive footage but not the full trailer from Quentin Tarantino‘s “Inglourious Basterds.” Check it out below.
Tarantino has described the movie, set in Nazi-occupied France during the Second World War, as “a spaghetti western with World War Two iconography”. The peculiar title is borrowed from Enzo Castellari’s 1978 film “Inglorious Bastards.”
Looking For Eric Movie Clips
Ken Loach’s new film, “Looking For Eric” had its world premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and the buzz on the film in France was positive. We have today six clips from the movie. Take a look below.
The movie stars Eric Cantona as himself, and tells a story about a troubled adolescent soccer fan who’s counselled by former Manchester United star – Cantona.
His wife has gone, his stepsons are out of control and the house was chaotic even before a cement mixer appeared in the front garden. Life is crazy enough, but it is Eric’s own secret that is driving him to the brink…
Bright Star Scenes
Jane Campion’s “Bright Star” is a period drama about the romance of 19th-century English poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne. Today we have a clip with scenes from the movie. Take a look below.
The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus Three Movie Clips
After its world premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival we finally have the first look at three clips from Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” thanks to CommeAuCinema.com
“In my modest opinion these excerpts look amazing. I can’t wait to see Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp in it. Take a look below at Heath Ledger as Tony, Andrew Garfield as Anton, Lily Cole as Valentina and Christopher Plummer as Doctor Parnassus.
Cannes 2009 Winners
It wouldn’t be surprise if French prison drama “A Prophet” directed by Jacques Audiard win the race for best picture. Another favorite is New Zealand’s Jane Campion with her biopic “Bright Star,” who won the Golden Palm in 1993 with “The Piano,” as is Pedro Almodovar and his “Broken Embraces” starring Penelope Cruz.
Among the other frontrunners for the Palme d’Or is Austrian Michael Haneke for his “The White Ribbon.” Italian entry “Vincere” about Mussolini’s secret marriage was broadly popular. Ken Loach‘s “Looking for Eric,” featuring former football star Eric Cantona also is one of this festival’s most popular entries.
Quentin Tarantino is thought to be an outside prospect for Cannes’ biggest prize, as his film “Inglourious Basterds” received a mixed reaction when it was shown in competition but we’ll see, because even Lars von Trier‘s “Antichrist” is a contender despite offending and angering many who watched it.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Reviews
Heath Ledger‘s final performance in “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” directed by Terry Gilliam has been presented at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.
Ledger died after completing the real-world portions of the film. Gilliam finished the film with Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell taking Ledger’s role in three trips to make-believe realities. Gilliam’s first thought when Ledger died in New York was to ditch “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” which was only half finished.
Agora Revised Trailer
Alejandro Amenabar’s historical epic “Agora” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, introducing audiences to the little-known scholar Hypatia, a brilliant astronomer and mathematician working in a man’s world in 4th century A.D. Egypt.
