  • Bill's Guide to Week Two of the 47Th Annual Chicago International Film
    Bill’s Guide to Week Two of the 47th Annual Chicago International Film Festival By Bill Stamets Special for Films for Two® My recommended films in Week Two (in “must see” order): 1.) Pina: German director Wim Wenders previously profiled Japanese film director Yasujiro Ozu, Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and Cuban musicians. His latest documentary introduces cinefiles to the choreography of German avant-gardist Pina Bausch. In his first use of 3-D cinematography, Wenders evokes the volume of the stage, even for performances staged in non-theatrical settings, including a tramway and an escalator. Four different works are presented. Some are revisited via archival 2-D footage. Seeing various versions adds more figurative depth to our appreciation of Bausch's work than the 3-D adds literal depth to our onscreen perception. Bausch's death during the making of the film may have lent an elegiac note to the laudatory interviews with members of her international company Tanztheater Wuppertal. They do not speak on camera during looking-into-the lens portrait sessions. The soundtrack excerpts their comments, apparently recorded off- camera, to underscore their role as voiceless dancers. Wenders channels Bausch's tactile and theoretical grasp of the body as metaphysical material for art. 2.) The Descendants: Alexander Payne (Sideways, About Schmidt, Election, Citizen Ruth) directs George Clooney as Matt King, an Hawaiian lawyer dealing with his wife hospitalized in a coma and their 10-year-old and 17- year-old daughters. Payne and his co-writers start from Kaui Hart Hemmings' 2008 novel for a truly touching male melodrama, as Clooney's character reconciles his mixed emotions about his wife.

  • Shailene Woodley of Simi Valley Stars with George Clooney in 'The Descendants'
    Shailene Woodley of Simi Valley stars with George Clooney in 'The Descendants' By Karen Lindell Tuesday, November 15, 2011 Shailene Woodley is a person of substance — but not all substances. She cannot stand plastic. "I just think it's awful," said the Simi Valley TV-movie actress, 20. "I haven't drank from a water bottle in over two years, for health as well as for environment reasons. I use Mason jars for my water." She also eats all-organic food, buys in bulk, attends sustainability conferences, studies herbalism, doesn't miss her weekly trip to a local farmers market, watches everything she throws away rather that just recycling, savors time outdoors — and absolutely melts around trees. "Trees do something to me," she said. "I'm just so madly in love with trees. They're so special in my heart." Meet Woodley, the environmentalist. You might already know her as teen mom Amy Juergens on the ABC Family drama "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." She's also been in a slew of other TV shows since she was 5½ and this year is earning major film festival kudos — and Oscar buzz — for her role as the angst-addled teen daughter of George Clooney's character in the Fox Searchlight film "The Descendants." The movie, directed by Alexander Payne ("Sideways," "Election"), premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in September and opens in limited release in Los Angeles and New York today before rolling out to other cities. Woodley's dutiful answers to obligatory questions about working with Clooney reveal that she's, well, even a celebrity of substance.

  • The Tropics Make It Difficult to Mope’: the Imaginative Geography of Alexander Payne’S the Descendants (2011)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by idUS. Depósito de Investigación Universidad de Sevilla International Journal of IJES English Studies UNIVERSITY OF MURCIA http://revistas.um.es/ijes ‘The tropics make it difficult to mope’: The imaginative geography of Alexander Payne’s The Descendants (2011) CAROLINA SÁNCHEZ PALENCIA* Universidad de Sevilla Received: 11/3/2015. Accepted: 5/10/2015. ABSTRACT This paper analyses the cinematic landscape of The Descendants (Payne, 2011) by engaging with Edward Said’s concept of “imaginative geographies” (Orientalism, 1978), a theoretical approach that addresses the interaction between the material and the symbolic in spatial representation. I also draw from Henri Lefebvre (The Production of Space, 1974) to explain how Alexander Payne renders space and subjectivity as mutually constitutive. The Descendants’ powerful analogies between family ties and land ties would illustrate this spatial- subjective system in interesting metaphoric parallels. In a similar vein, Lefebvre’s emphasis on the importance of capitalism in the social construction of spaces helps articulate the film’s discussion of Hawaiian land trade politics and the protagonists’ ambivalent relation to it. This reading of the film can be inserted into the context of contemporary revisitations of the Paradise mythology as inextricably bound to postcolonial questions of ecology, nation and globalization. KEYWORDS: imaginative geographies, spatial-subjective systems, cinematic landscape, Paradise myth, The Descendants. RESUMEN Este trabajo analiza el paisaje cinematográfico de Los Descendientes (Payne, 2011), sirviéndose del concepto “geografías imaginarias” de Edward Said (Orientalism, 1978), un enfoque teórico que aborda la interacción entre lo material y lo simbólico en la representación espacial.

  • Alexander Payne Dona Al Museo Nazionale Del Cinema La Sceneggiatura Originale Del Suo Ultimo Film the Descendants
    COMUNICATO STAMPA Alexander Payne dona al Museo Nazionale del Cinema la sceneggiatura originale del suo ultimo film The Descendants Il regista Alexander Payne ha donato al Museo Nazionale del Cinema la sceneggiatura originale e autografata del suo ultimo film The Descendants, presentato in questi giorni al Torino Film Festival. La cerimonia di donazione, estremamente informale, è avvenuta nell’Aula del Tempio, cuore del Museo, alla presenza di Ugo Nespolo e Alberto Barbera, rispettivamente Presidente e Direttore del Museo Nazionale del Cinema. Oltre alla sceneggiatura, Alexander Payne ha donato una foto di gruppo con dedica, scattata alla fine della lavorazione del film, nella quale sono presenti, oltre al regista, il protagonista del film George Clooney e Kaui Hart Hemmings, autrice del libro dal quale è stato tratto il film. Alexander Payne non è nuovo a Torino. Venne qui, per la prima volta, nel 1990 a presentare il suo primo mediometraggio The Passion of Martin all’ora Festival Cinema Giovani, realizzato con una borsa di studio della scuola di cinema all’UCLA di Los Angeles. Torna al Torino Film Festival nel 2004 per presentare Sideways, mentre qualche anno prima era stato in giuria del TFF. “Questo museo è un luogo eccezionale, che mi lascia sempre a bocca aperta - ha affermato Alexander Payne, visibilmente rapito dalla suggestione del luogo - e sono molto contento di essere nuovamente a Torino. Faccio dono al Museo del Cinema della mia sceneggiatura e, soprattutto, di un oggetto molto personale come la fotografia che a mia volta ho ricevuto in dono dagli amici hawaiani, perché mi fa piacere pensare che sia il Museo a garantirne la conservazione”.
