    Presents QUENTIN TARANTINO’S DEATH PROOF Only at the Grindhouse Final Production Notes as of 5/15/07 International Press Contacts: PREMIER PR (CANNES FILM FESTIVAL) THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY Matthew Sanders / Emma Robinson Jill DiRaffaele Villa Ste Hélène 5700 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600 45, Bd d’Alsace Los Angeles, CA 90036 06400 Cannes Tel: 323 207 3092 Tel: +33 493 99 03 02 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] From the longtime collaborators (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, FOUR ROOMS, SIN CITY), two of the most renowned filmmakers this summer present two original, complete grindhouse films packed to the gills with guns and guts. Quentin Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF is a white knuckle ride behind the wheel of a psycho serial killer’s roving, revving, racing death machine. Robert Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR is a heart-pounding trip to a town ravaged by a mysterious plague. Inspired by the unique distribution of independent horror classics of the sixties and seventies, these are two shockingly bold features replete with missing reels and plenty of exploitative mayhem. The impetus for grindhouse films began in the US during a time before the multiplex and state-of- the-art home theaters ruled the movie-going experience. The origins of the term “Grindhouse” are fuzzy: some cite the types of films shown (as in “Bump-and-Grind”) in run down former movie palaces; others point to a method of presentation -- movies were “grinded out” in ancient projectors one after another. Frequently, the movies were grouped by exploitation subgenre. Splatter, slasher, sexploitation, blaxploitation, cannibal and mondo movies would be grouped together and shown with graphic trailers.

  • Machete (2010) Il Machete Di Rodriguez È Perfettamente Affilato
    Machete (2010) Il Machete di Rodriguez è perfettamente affilato. Un film di Robert Rodriguez, Ethan Maniquis con Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez, Jeff Fahey, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson, Shea Whigham, Lindsay Lohan. Genere Azione durata 105 minuti. Produzione USA 2010. Uscita nelle sale: venerdì 6 maggio 2011 Danny Trejo è Machete, ex agente federale dei servizi segreti messicani. Giancarlo Zappoli - www.mymovies.it Machete è un agente federale che si pensa sia morto in uno scontro con la banda del pericolosissimo boss Torrez. Ma non è così. Machete ha cercato rifugio in Texas dove viene coinvolto nell'attentato a senatore iperrazzista. Scoprirà di essersi infilato in un machiavellico complotto che vede lui come capro espiatorio. Ha contro il capo dei vigilantes Von, il perfido uomo di affari Booth e, ancora una volta, Torrez. Al suo fianco c'è solo Sartana Rivera, giovane e seducente ufficiale della squadra anti-immigrazione che ha compreso che non tutto è come sembra. Robert Rodriguez è un sognatore che sfata la massima che vuole che sia bene non riuscire a realizzare i propri sogni perché si rischia di rimanere delusi. Il personaggio di Machete era nei suoi progetti da tempo e il finto trailer in 'Planet Terror' non era altro che la manifestazione del bisogno del personaggio di diventare film. Ora il giustiziere butterato ha iniziato il suo percorso nei proiettori di tutto il mondo e si può affermare che l'operazione è perfettamente riuscita e che il machete/lama di luce è perfettamente affilato. Perché Rodriguez è abilissimo nel realizzare una sorta di work in progress in cui si mantiene un'unità di stile ma al contempo non smette mai di sorprendere il pubblico non per lo sterile e un po' onanistico piacere che divora altri suoi colleghi ma per il piacere di fare cinema allo stato puro.

  • Mediennostalgie Und Cinephilie Im Grindhouse-Doublefeature
    Mediennostalgie und Cinephilie im Grindhouse-Doublefeature Dominik Schrey „A certain nostalgia for cinema precedes its ‚death‘. One doesn’t – and can’t – love the televisual or the digital in quite the same way.“ (Doane 2002, S. 228) 1 Kinokrisen Wiederholt wurde in den letzten Jahren aus verschiedensten Gründen der ‚Tod des Kinos’ proklamiert: etwa weil die in den Filmarchiven gelagerten Rollen sich langsam zersetzen und dem Medium so die Vergangenheit verloren geht (Usai 2001) oder weil die Filmindustrie nicht mehr wie früher zu begeistern weiß (Sontag 1996). Mehr als alles andere jedoch wird seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre die Konkurrenz zu interaktiven Medien wie dem Computerspiel, das neue Formen der Publikumsadressierung ermög- licht, als Todesstoß für das Kino wahrgenommen. Die Debatte ist indes keineswegs neu: Bekanntlich sollen nicht einmal die Brüder Lumière selbst an die künstlerische Zukunft ihrer Erfindung geglaubt haben, Ende der 1920er Jahre war dann die Be- fürchtung weit verbreitet, mit Einführung des Tons verspiele der Film sein – gerade erst zur Reife gelangtes – künstlerisches Potential und ab den 1960er Jahren stürzte die zunehmende Bedeutung des Fernsehens als ‚Leitmedium’ das Kino in eine tiefe wirtschaftliche und ideelle Krise. Bislang jedoch hat der Film alle diese Tode und Krisen ‚überlebt’, sich an die ste- tig wechselnden Umstände assimiliert und mit der Entwicklung neuer Formate, Gen- res und Stile reagiert. Und auch die Institution Kino ist noch immer nicht ausgestor- ben, wenngleich sich auch hier im Laufe der

De lokale bonderøve kan nemlig godt lide at køre ræs på vejen ved siden af deres hus, og hvad værre er ligger der en yderst skummel kirkegård for kæledyr i baghaven. På kirkegården lurer onde magiske kræfter, der kan bringe folk tilbage fra de døde. Familien bliver fristet, da den yngste søn dør. Det viser sig dog hurtigt, at lige præcis den fristelse, skulle de have afvist. Efter succesen med “It“ er Stephen King atter kommet i høj kurs.
