  • Velvet Buzzsaw’ Probably Won’T Scare the Horror Fans, but It May Terrify the Art World
    Review: ‘Velvet Buzzsaw’ Probably Won’t Scare the Horror Fans, But It May Terrify the Art World The art-world ghost story, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, is about to launch on Netflix. Ben Davis, January 31, 2019 Gretchen (Toni Collette) speaks with art critic Morf Vanderwalt (Jake Gyllenhaal) in Velvet Buzzsaw. Image courtesy Netflix. Velvet Buzzsaw, the new movie launching on Netflix tomorrow, had me hooked from the first line uttered by its protagonist. In the opening scene, we see Jake Gyllenhaal’s stridently self-confident art critic amble into Art Basel Miami Beach. He passes the throngs of visitors trying to jump the line. Then he announces himself at the VIP desk: “Morf Vanderwalt, Artweb.” Written and directed by Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler), Velvet Buzzsaw is an “art horror” film that really stresses the art part. It stars the spookiest haunted paintings this side of… I don’t know, the diabolical possessed portrait of Vigo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters II? (I’m going to try not to spoil too much here that isn’t in the trailer—but just so you know, this is definitely a movie whose trailer gives way, way too much away. The optimum experience is to stream the ‘Saw knowing nothing.) The basic setup turns on the relationships and rivalries between Gyllenhaal’s art critic and a cast of characters including sharkish art dealer Rhodora Haze (Rene Russo); Josephina, a put-upon but ambitious partner in Russo’s Haze Gallery (Zawe Ashton); and sundry other gallerists, curators, and artists. Looking for her big break, Josephina discovers a trove of spooky paintings in the apartment of her dead neighbor, the mysterious Vitril Dease, which mesmerize all who see them.

  • FONDAZIONE PRADA PRESENTS the CINEMA PROJECT “SOGGETTIVA NICOLAS WINDING REFN” and ITS FEBRUARY FILM PROGRAM Milan, 31 Janu
    FONDAZIONE PRADA PRESENTS THE CINEMA PROJECT “SOGGETTIVA NICOLAS WINDING REFN” AND ITS FEBRUARY FILM PROGRAM Milan, 31 January 2019 – Fondazione Prada presents its February film program, that will include a collaboration with Netflix and the launch of the fourth series of “Soggettiva”. Subtitled Expressway Milano, the new chapter of “Soggettiva” is a “cinematic journey into the rare and unknown” conceived by Nicolas Winding Refn and byNWR. “Soggettiva Nicolas Winding Refn” featuring 13 American forgotten films from the online platform byNWR “Soggettiva Nicolas Winding Refn” will be presented on Friday 22 February 2019 at Fondazione Prada’s Cinema. At 6 pm, a conversation will take place between Nicolas Winding Refn, author/byNWR Managing Editor Jimmy McDonough, BUREAU Director David Frost, and the film critic Manlio Gomarasca, followed by the screening of Spring Night, Summer Night (1967) by Joseph L. Anderson. Entrance is free upon booking. The event will be lived streamed on Fondazione Prada’s Facebook and YouTube channels. The talk will focus on Nicolas Winding Refn’s new adventure known as byNWR, a revolutionary online site which was first presented in 2018 and developed with London- based agency BUREAU. As stated by Winding Refn, “What we’ve created is not a film, TV, fashion, photography, lifestyle or political site. It’s an installation, an online museum inclusive of everything. There’s a movie presented each month, but that film is merely the jumping off point. It’s the seed to inspire creativity, provoke a state of mind. The result isn’t easy to explain in a soundbite, you have to experience it.

  • 'Velvet Buzzsaw' Director Dan Gilroy on the True Value Of
    AiA Art News-service ‘I Will Always Be Interested in What Money Does to People’: ‘Velvet Buzzsaw’ Director Dan Gilroy on the True Value of Art Plus, the filmmaker explains why there should be a Netflix for the art world. Tim Schneider, February 7, 2019 Velvet Buzzsaw filmmaker Dan Gilroy with his wife and co-star Rene Russo at the film's Los Angeles premier. (Photo by Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images.) No matter what your opinion is of Velvet Buzzsaw, Netflix’s horror-satire of the big-money contemporary art market, there is no denying that the movie tore its way right to the top of the art world conversation when it was released on February 1. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as an ethically conflicted critic “ensorcelled” by the work of a mysterious self-taught artist whose paintings become the prize—and, it turns out, the fatal bait—for a viper’s nest of gallerists, advisers, and assorted accomplices whose crassness is their own undoing. To dissect the motivations, themes, and wider relevance of the film, writer-director Dan Gilroy chopped it up with artnet News’s own art business reporter (and film industry expatriate) Tim Schneider by phone on the day of its release. You’ve talked about how the seed of Velvet Buzzsaw was planted by a visit to an unsettling show at Dia:Beacon, but obviously there’s a huge amount of work in between that and developing a fully realized world on screen. Could you talk about the research and development behind the movie? What I’m doing [in my films] these days is going into what you might call niche worlds.
