  • Cedric Jimenez
    THE STRONGHOLD Directed by Cédric Jimenez INTERNATIONAL MARKETING INTERNATIONAL PUBLICITY Alba OHRESSER Margaux AUDOUIN [email protected] [email protected] 1 SYNOPSIS Marseille’s north suburbs hold the record of France’s highest crime rate. Greg, Yass and Antoine’s police brigade faces strong pressure from their bosses to improve their arrest and drug seizure stats. In this high-risk environment, where the law of the jungle reigns, it can often be hard to say who’s the hunter and who’s the prey. When assigned a high-profile operation, the team engages in a mission where moral and professional boundaries are pushed to their breaking point. 2 INTERVIEW WITH CEDRIC JIMENEZ What inspired you to make this film? In 2012, the scandal of the BAC [Anti-Crime Brigade] Nord affair broke out all over the press. It was difficult to escape it, especially for me being from Marseille. I Quickly became interested in it, especially since I know the northern neighbourhoods well having grown up there. There was such a media show that I felt the need to know what had happened. How far had these cops taken the law into their own hands? But for that, it was necessary to have access to the police and to the files. That was obviously impossible. When we decided to work together, me and Hugo [Sélignac], my producer, I always had this affair in mind. It was then that he said to me, “Wait, I know someone in Marseille who could introduce us to the real cops involved.” And that’s what happened.

  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more. Enjoy. - Nick James, Editor. 1 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 2 Inland Empire (David Lynch) 3 Zodiac (David Fincher) = 4 I’m Not There (Todd Haynes) The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 6 Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas) = 7 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) No Country for Old Men (Ethan and Joel Coen) Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg) 1 Table of Contents – alphabetical by critic Gilbert Adair (Critic and author, UK)............................................................................................4 Kaleem Aftab (Critic, The Independent, UK)...............................................................................4 Geoff Andrew (Critic

Munich Abstract This is a review of Munich (2005). This film er view is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol10/iss1/14 Flato: Munich Steven Spielberg's latest film Munich begins with the kidnapping and murder of eleven athletes and coaches from the Israeli Olympic team by a group of Palestinians in 1972. Spielberg interlaces archival video from the live coverage of the crisis into the movie, culminating in anchorman Jim McKay's disconsolate observation, "They're all gone." This sequence establishes the recruitment of Avner (Eric Bana), a Mossad agent and former bodyguard for Prime Minister Golda Meir, to a covert assassination team that crisscrosses Europe over the span of several years. Avner leads a squad of four, including the hesitant Carl (Ciaran Hines), the callous Steve (Daniel Craig), and the befuddled Robert (Mathieu Kassovitz). This allows Spielberg to explore a variety of responses to the moral issues tied to revenge. Echoing the language we heard from the White House post-9/11, Meir ominously declares that the killing of the Israeli athletes "changes everything,” and throughout Munich there are resonances between the past and present-day.

Class Description This course will allow students to become familiar with the methods and formal aspects of cinema. Students will discover French culture through the prism of cinema by underlining the specific dynamics by which cinema becomes the privileged witness of the profound transformations of mentalities and the upheavals that deeply changed the French society. By putting the films into their social, historical and philosophical context, the students will get to study, across a diverse range of examples, the relation existing between French films and French culture. It deals for example with the formal and thematic relationships among the Avant-garde artistic movements (futurism, cubism, expressionism, surrealism, etc.) and the cinematographic Avant-garde (Buñuel, L’Herbier, Cocteau), those between the cinema of Renoir and classical French theatre (Marivaux, Beaumarchais, Musset), the troubled period of the occupation and the filmmakers who deliberately chose to stay in France to work there (Clouzot, Carné) and the influence of Saint Germain des Prés’s existentialism (Sartre, Camus) on the Nouvelle Vague, etc. The students will thus discover that cinema is a cultural agent that reflects a period all the while produces a critical point view on said period. Also examined are the formal structure of French cinema, its stylistic choices and ways of expression shared with other artistic practices, in order to understand to what extend the « French cultural exception » contributed to its worldwide influence.
