    ‘‘These things never happen but are always.’’ Sallust synopsis On the eve of her wedding, the beautiful opera singer Malvina is mysteriously killed and abducted by a malevolent Dr. Droz. Felisberto, an innocent piano tuner, is summoned to Droz’s secluded villa to service his strange musical automatons. Little by little Felisberto learns of the doctor’s plans to stage a ‘‘diabolical opera’’ and of Malvina’s fate. He secretly conspires to rescue her, only to become trapped himself in the web of Droz’s perverse universe... interview Interview with Jonathan Romney. The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes is recognisably a Brothers Quay film in its images and textures, but it’s also a narrative film, in the high fantastic tradition. What ideas and images inspired it? Quay brothers: The aim was to make something like poetic science fiction. We were very inspired by the novella The Invention of Morel, by the Argentinian writer Adolfo Bioy Casares, which merges the fantastic and an element of science fiction, on a very poetic level. In the end, in fact, the film came to be much closer to Jules Verne’s story Le Château des Carpathes (Carpathian Castle). It’s about a famous opera singer abducted by an obsessive Baron who takes her to the Carpathian Mountains. Her lover looks for her and finds out that a voice has been heard in this château. When he goes in, he sees her singing – but when he tries to save her, he realises it was all projections on glass that shatter. The other inspiration is Raymond Roussel’s novel Locus Solus, which features these strange machine-like tableaux vivants.

    3 NOV 17 30 NOV 17 1 | 3 NOV 17 - 30 NOV 17 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT HOME OF THE EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL One man’s remake; another man’s reimagining… When I first heard that Sir Kenny Branagh was remaking Sydney Lumet’s 1973 apogee of the All-Star Cast film vehicle (or, perhaps, as he might prefer, reimagining of the 1934 Agatha Christie novel) Murder on the Orient Express, I confess I did pause to consider the wisdom of doing so, from the point of view of potential audience member, given that much of the enjoyment of a whodunnit is finding out who indeed did do it, and if you know that already, well… Which got me thinking about films I’ve watched more than once for which it could be said the destination is at least as important as the journey, and of the number of times I have been heard to say: “I know I’ve seen this, but I can’t remember for the life of me what happens at the end!” (With a memory like mine, whodunnits are the gift that keeps on giving...) Then I remembered how much I enjoyed watching TV’s And Then There Were None from a couple of years back, even though I had not forgotten that it was - SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! - the old Judge wot done it. And whatever happened to the All-Star ensemble film that once seemed so prevalent? Could it be that with how much these big names get paid these days – however unfairly split across the sexes – few can afford to make them!? Beyond MOTOE, from 3 Novmeber we have a very special engagement with David Lean’s classic/epic Lawrence of Arabia screening in a brand new and glorious 70mm print; Call Me By Your Name, which you really should not miss, continues; and I’d heartily recommend you catch Annette Bening as Gloria Grahame in Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool, Armando Iannucci’s often supremely funny The Death of Stalin and Yorgos (The Lobster) Lanthimos’ The Killing of a Sacred Deer; and our annual French Film Festival returns, marking, wait for it, its first quarter century… Zut alors!

    Barbican Cinema, Barbican Centre Oscar® Week Fri 2 - Thu 8 March 2018, Cinema 2 & 3 barbican.org.uk/whats-on/cinema For one week only, in celebration of the 90th year of the Academy Awards, the Barbican screens all the films nominated for Best Pic- ture in 2018, along with a showing of all the nominated Live Action Shorts. From historical dramas, to surreal love stories, social cri- tiques, and satires, the series offers an overview of the wide range of works running up for the world-famous award. In partnership with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sci- ences Get Out (15) Fri 2 Mar 8.45pm, Cinema 3 US/Japan 2017 Dir Jordan Peele 104 min A genre-defying film embracing horror, comedy, and social cri- tique, Get Out is an impressive debut. When Rose (Allison Wil- liams) invites her boyfriend Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) for a weekend getaway upstate with her parents, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behaviour as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship. But as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined. Nominated for 4 Academy Awards including Best Director and Best Actor for Daniel Kaluuya Darkest Hour (PG) Sat 3 Mar 5.40pm, Cinema 3 UK 2017 Dir Joe Wright 125 min Within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials. With an unprepared public, a sceptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his dark- est hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.

Der 17-Jährige hört Musik und liest Bücher, geht schwimmen und langweilt sich, bis eines Tages der neue Assistent seines Vaters aus Amerika in der grosszügigen Villa ankommt. Der charmante Oliver, der wie Elio jüdische Wurzeln hat, ist jung, selbstbewusst und gutaussehend. Anfangs reagiert Elio eher kühl und abwehrend auf ihn, doch schon bald unternehmen die beiden öfter Ausflüge miteinander, und Elio beginnt zögerliche Annäherungsversuche, die zunehmend intimer werden – auch wenn man, wie Oliver sagt, „über solche Dinge nicht sprechen kann“. Die Anziehung zwischen den beiden wird im Laufe des kurzen Sommers immer intensiver. Regisseur Luca Guadagnino schrieb das Drehbuch zum gleichnamigen Roman des Autors André Aciman zusammen mit dem US-amerikanischen Regisseur James Ivory und Walter Fasano. Die Erinnerungen des Ich-Erzählers Elio übersetzt er in ruhige, stimmungsvolle Bilder. Hauptdarsteller des Dramas über ein unerwartetes Coming-out ist neben den Schauspielern Timothée Chalamet und Armie Hammer die verführerische Landschaft. 2 CALL ME

    KLATSKY JOINS EQUITY FIRM/2 YURMAN’S WEDDING MARCH/15 WWDWomen’s Wear Daily • The Retailers’MONDAY Daily Newspaper • October 10, 2005 • $2.00 Accessories/Innerwear/Legwear King Louis By Miles Socha PARIS — The world’s largest Louis Vuitton store, christened here during the climax of Paris Fashion Week, doesn’t feel that big at all. Which is the whole point, according to Vuitton chief executive officer Yves Carcelle. “It’s completely against the idea of gigantism. We want it to be an intimate promenade,” he said Sunday morning, giving WWD the first walk-through of the sumptuous 20,500-square-foot boutique in a landmark building on the Champs Elysées. Indeed, beyond the soaring atrium at the entrance — flanked by a Donald Judd-like arrangement of red trunks that signals more art is to come — and then a vast room some early visitors likened to a cathedral, are a series of human- scale rooms devoted to Vuitton’s ever-expanding range of products. “We don’t want people to be stressed by the size,” Carcelle said. “It’s all about little rooms you discover one after the other.” Still, Vuitton’s ceo trumpeted the store as a new must-visit attraction in the City of Lights and a showcase that is bound to have a global impact on the world’s biggest luxury brand, already riding high at a heady time for the sector. And Vuitton’s roll continued at its high-energy show Sunday night, where Marc Jacobs presented one of the standout collections of the season for the house.
