Warum sollte sie einem Freund ihrer Eltern misstrauen, der sich gerne mit ihr abgibt und ausgiebig mit ihr spielt, vorzugsweise Kitzeln? Ahnungslos und unbefangen spielt sie mit und verdrängt das Unaussprechliche. Jahre später holen die dunklen Kindheitserinnerung Odette, inzwischen erwachsen und eine professionelle Tänzerin, mehr und mehr ein. Tanzen ist ihr Leben und sie findet darin eine Form, dem ihr zugefügten Schmerz und dem lang unterdrückten beklemmenden Gefühl einen Ausdruck zu geben und es an die Oberfläche dringen zu lassen.

    List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.

  • François Cluzet in 11.6
    Pan-Européenne Presents In Association with Wild Bunch François Cluzet in 11.6 A film by Philippe Godeau Starring Bouli Lanners and Corinne Masiero Written by Agnès de Sacy and Philippe Godeau Loosely based on Alice Géraud "Toni 11.6 Histoire du convoyeur" 1h42 - Dolby SRD - Scope - Visa n°133.508 High definition pictures and press kit can be downloaded from www.wildbunch.biz SYNOPSIS Toni Musulin. Security guard. Porsche owner. Loner. Enigma. An ordinary man seeking revenge for humiliation at the hands of his bosses. A man with a slow-burning hatred of the system. And the man behind "the heist of the century". Q&A with Philippe Godeau After ONE FOR THE ROAD, how did you decide to make a film about this one-of-a-kind €11.6 million heist? From the very beginning, what mattered to me wasn't so much the heist as the story of that man who'd been an armoured car guard for ten years with no police record, and who one day decided to take action. How come this punctual, hard- working, seemingly perfect, lonely employee, who kept his distance from unions, ended up pulling off the heist of the century and went to the other side? With the screenwriter Agnès de Sacy, this was our driving force. What was it that drove him to take action? We did a lot of research, we visited the premises, and we met some of his co-workers, some of his acquaintances, his lawyers… What about the real Toni Musulin? Did you actually meet him? I didn't.

    25 YEARS OF MEDIA INVESTING IN CREATIVITY, BUILDING THE FUTURE 1 - 2 DECEMBER 2016, BOZAR, BRUSSELS #MEDIA25 “Oh how Shakespeare would have loved cinema!” Derek Jarman, filmmaker and writer “‘Culture’ as a whole, and in the widest sense, is the glue that forms identity and that determines the soul of Europe. And cinema has a privileged position in that realm… Movies helped to invent and to perpetuate the ‘American Dream’. They can do wonders for the image of Europe, too.” Wim Wenders, filmmaker “The best advice I can offer to those heading into the world of film is not to wait for the system to finance your projects and for others to decide your fate.” Werner Herzog, filmmaker “You don’t make a movie, the movie makes you.” Jean-Luc Godard, filmmaker “A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.” Alfred Hitchcock, filmmaker The 25th anniversary of MEDIA The European Commission, in collaboration with the Centre for Fine Arts (BOZAR), is organising a special European Film Forum (EFF) to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the MEDIA programme, which supports European audiovisual creations and their distribution across borders. Over these 25 years, MEDIA has been instrumental in supporting the audiovisual industry and promoting collaboration across borders, as well as promoting our shared identity and values within and outside Europe. This special edition of the European Film Forum is the highlight of the 25th anniversary celebrations.

Was this a constraint during the writing process? Not at all. In the beginning, there was the desire of the Musée d’Orsay to associate cinema with the celebrations of its twentieth birthday by offering «carte blanche» to four directors from very different backgrounds.
