The last communist country in the world. Unknown, hermetic and fascinating. Formerly known as “The Hermit Kingdom” for its attempts to remain isolated, North Korea is one of the largest sources of instability as regards to world peace. It also has the most militarized border in the world, and the flow of impartial information, both going in and out, is practically non-existent.

As he retreats further into a hedonistic lifestyle, his mother’s battle with a serious illness faces a series of setbacks that force him to assume more responsibility. With the pressure on him mounting, James must find new reserves of strength or risk imploding completely “Knockout performances by Cynthia Nixon and ‘Girls’ alumnus Christopher Abbott. ‘James White’ could be considered Mond’s ‘Amour’, albeit seen through the eyes of a child rather than a spouse.” VARIETY “No film at Sundance this year hit me with more force emotionally than Josh Mond’s ‘James White’. Devastating. Abbott is simply phenomenal here.” Robert Ebert.com “This extraordinarily intimate drama marks an arresting feature debut for writer-director Josh Mond. A viscerally acted drama whose rich visual and sonic textures intensify the plunge into the title character’s messy life.” The HollYwood Reporter “Standing high above the rest of the films at Sundance this year, Mond’s directorial debut is a must-see.

Several tourists have vanished while relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the Channel Coast. Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather that the epicenter of these mysterious disap- pearances must be Slack Bay, a unique site where the Slack river and the sea join only at high tide. There lives a small community of fishermen and other oyster farmers. Among them evolves a curious family, the Bréfort, renowned ferrymen of the Slack Bay, lead by the father nick-named “The Eternal”, who rules as best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, especially the impetu- ©DR ous Ma Loute, aged 18. Towering high above the bay stands the Van Peteghems’ mansion. Every summer, this bourgeois family ­­– all degenerate and decadent from inbreeding – stagnates in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure hours of walking, sailing or bathing, with the ordinary local people, Ma Loute and the other Bréforts. Over the course of five days, as starts a peculiar love story between Ma Loute and the young and mischievous Billie Van Peteghem, confusion and mystification will descend on both families, shaking their convictions, foundations and way of life.

  • SLACK BAY Press Notes
    SLACK BAY A film by Bruno Dumont Official Selection, Cannes Film Festival Competition 2016 / France / 122 min. / In French with English subtitles Press materials: www.kinolorber.com New York Publicity: Los Angeles Publicity: Charlie Olsky, Cinetic Marketing Sasha Berman, Shotwell Media [email protected] [email protected] 212-204-7951 310-450-5571 SYNOPSIS The bourgeois and extremely eccentric Van Peteghem family - among them Juliette Binoche, Fabrice Luchini, and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi - have settled in for another summer at their cliff-top villa overlooking the picturesque Slack Bay. Their leisurely rhythm of sunbathing and seaside constitutionals is soon interrupted by the arrival of two bumbling inspectors investigating a string of tourists gone missing (and serving full- on Keystone Kops). As the macabre mysteries mount and love blossoms between the family's genderqueer teen and the son of a local fisherman, Binoche and company ratchet the slapstick up to eleven. It's no wonder director Bruno Dumont (Li'l Quinquin, Camille Claudel 1915) cites Peter Sellers, Monty Python, and Laurel and Hardy as cinematic influences for his delightful foray into winking, absurdist farce. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I’ve wanted to make a comedy, but couldn’t find the right note, the right tune. I put this idea to the side for a long time; I made some other films, tackled some other genres. Then Arte asked me to direct a series. I had a free hand to do whatever I wanted, so I decided to embark on a cop comedy, but in my own, somewhat experimental way. I had the intuition that the drama had to drive the humor.

  • The World to Come
    THE WORLD TO COME Directed by Mona Fastvold *World Premiere - 2020 Venice International Film Festival - Competition* PRESS CONTACTS US Press: Emilie Spiegel, [email protected] Intl Press: Claudia Tomassini, [email protected] SYNOPSIS In this frontier romance framed by the four seasons and set against the backdrop of rugged terrain, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves powerfully, irrevocably drawn to each other. As grieving Abigail tends to the needs of her taciturn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) and Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbot), both women are illuminated and liberated by their intense bond, filling a void in their lives they never knew existed. Director Mona Fastvold (The Sleepwalker, co-writer of CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER and VOX LUX) examines the interior lives of two women resisting constraints, giving voice to their experiences. Scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), THE WORLD TO COME explores how isolation is overcome by the power of imagination and human connection. Q&A with Director Mona Fastvold First of all, tell me how the material came your way. It’s an interesting pairing of a novelist adapting a short story — was this a script that came to you fully formed? The script came to me from one of our producers, Whitaker Lader, who had seen my previous film. She and Casey had been developing the script with the screenwriters, Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard, for some time. I was immediately struck by it.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

    Kering and the Festival de Cannes will present the 2017 Women in Motion Award to Isabelle Huppert The Young Talents Award will be presented to Maysaloun Hamoud International film icon Isabelle Huppert will receive the third Women in MotionAward presented by Kering and the Festival de Cannes. Isabelle Huppert has chosen director and scriptwriter Maysaloun Hamoud to receive the Young Talents Award. François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of Kering, Pierre Lescure, President of the Festival de Cannes, and Thierry Frémaux, General Delegate of the Festival of Cannes, will present these awards during the official Women in Motion dinner on Sunday, 21 May 2017. Credits: Brigitte Lacombe For the third Women in Motion programme, official partner Kering and the Festival de Cannes will present the Women in Motion Award to French actress Isabelle Huppert. Exceptionally free-spirited and bold, Isabelle Huppert has taken many artistic risks in her career, and whilst acting with leading names, she has successfully established her own style in a variety of registers ranging from drama to comedy. She has pushed back boundaries with the strong and far-from-stereotypical roles that she has played since the early days of her career. Whether being directed by legendary filmmakers or by a brilliant new generation of talented filmmakers, Isabelle Huppert is one of the most inspirational figures in the world of cinema. Isabelle Huppert has in turn chosen to honour Maysaloun Hamoud by awarding her the Young Talents prize. In 2016 this young Palestinian director and scriptwriter made her first feature film, In Between (Bar Bahar), which chronicles the daily lives of three young Palestinian women living in Tel Aviv, torn between family traditions and their desire for independence.

  • Catch-22 Star George Clooney Shares the Catalyst for His Long-Awaited Return to Television in Emmy® Magazine
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CATCH-22 STAR GEORGE CLOONEY SHARES THE CATALYST FOR HIS LONG-AWAITED RETURN TO TELEVISION IN EMMY® MAGAZINE (NoHo Arts District, Calif. — May 10, 2019) — More than 58 years after the publication of Joseph Heller’s classic anti-war novel Catch-22, some of the biggest players in Hollywood are bringing the acclaimed story to a new audience. In the May 10 issue of the award-winning emmy magazine, series executive producer, director and star George Clooney, along with co-stars Kyle Chandler and Christopher Abbott, share the challenges of bringing one of the 20th century’s most renowned literary works to life. While many believed that turning the free-form narrative of Catch-22 into a linear, limited series couldn’t be done, Clooney, along with fellow executive producers Grant Heslov, Richard Brown and the late Steve Golin of Anonymous Content, and series writers, Luke Davies and David Michôd, were up for the challenge. They believed the timeliness of the source material would resonate with a 21st century audience. The six-hour limited series premieres on Hulu May 17. In “A Moral Mission,” the producers and writers share that they were struck by the many ways Catch-22 parallels the current political climate. “There’s an incredible dovetailing between the madness of Heller’s world that David and I tried to translate to the TV screen, and the madness of the world we wake up to every morning,” Davies says. Catch-22 marks the return to series television for Clooney, last seen two decades ago on the NBC drama ER.

  • Charles Péguy
    Joan of Arc A film by BRUNO DUMONT Synopsis In the 15th century, both France and England stake a blood claim for the French throne. Believing that God had chosen her, the young Joan leads the army of the King of France. When she is captured, the Church sends her for trial on charges of heresy. Refusing to accept the accusations, the graceful Joan of Arc will stay true to her mission. Bruno Dumont’s decision to work with a ten-year-old actress re-injects this heroine’s timeless cause and ideology with a modernity that highlights both the tragic female condition and the incredible fervor, strength and freedom women show when shackled by societies and archaic virile orders that belittle and alienate them. ©3B Productions Cast Lise Leplat Prudhomme, Jean-François Causeret, Daniel Dienne, Fabien Fenet, Robert Hanicotte, Yves Habert.

  • Lo Sguardo (Dis)Umano Di Bruno Dumont
    Lo sguardo (dis)umano di Bruno Dumont Alberto Scandola «La cinematografia – ha dichiarato Bruno Dumont – è disumana. […] È la materia delle nostre vite, è la vita stessa, presente e rappresentata»1. Sin dagli esordi (L’età inquieta, 1997), Bruno Dumont ha posto al centro della sua attenzione l’umano e soprattutto le sue derive verso l’animale, il selvaggio, il bestiale. Liberi di non significare altro che loro stessi e il loro opaco Dasein, i corpi di questo cinema abitano luoghi dove – penso a L’humanité (1999) – il visibile altro non è che il riflesso dell’invisibile e l’immagine sembra lottare contro il suono. Conflitti come quello tra i volumi e i rumori (l’ansimare dettagliato di un corpo ripreso in campo lunghissimo, per esempio), frequenti soprattutto nella prima fase della produzione, sono finalizzati a evidenziare la testura di un dispositivo a cui l’autore da sempre affida una precisa funziona catartica: Bisogna sviluppare il sistema immunitario dello spettatore, biso- gna mettergli il male. Costui svilupperà naturalmente gli anticorpi. È lo spettatore che deve svegliarsi, non il film. Per me un film non è molto importante. Ciò che è importante è cominciare; poi tocca allo spettatore terminare2. Per poter «terminare», però, bisogna innanzitutto riuscire a guardare. Guardare immagini che, nel disperato tentativo di catturare le vita, offrono 1 B. Dumont in Ph. Tancelin, S. Ors, V. Jouve, Bruno Dumont, Éditions Dis Voir, Paris 2001, p. 12. Nostra traduzione. 2 B.
