What could be easier and simpler? The cinema fell upon its prey with immense rapacity, and to this moment largely subsists upon the body of its unfortunate victim. But the results are disastrous to both. The alliance is unnatural. Eye and brain are torn asunder ruthlessly as they try vainly to work in couples. (Woolf, “The Movies and Reality”) Although adaptation’s detractors argue that “all the directorial Scheherezades of the world cannot add up to one Dostoevsky, it does seem to be more or less acceptable to adapt Romeo and Juliet into a respected high art form, like an opera or a ballet, but not to make it into a movie. If an adaptation is perceived as ‘lowering’ a story (according to some imagined hierarchy of medium or genre), response is likely to be negative...An adaptation is a derivation that is not derivative—a work that is second without being secondary.

The Stars Are Aligning in Toronto

The Stars are Aligning in Toronto The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), now in its 40th year, has grown from an upstart film movement in 1976 to a global cinematic tour de force. Whereas Cannes is known as the Queen of Film Festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival has risen to second in the rankings, frequently referred to as Cannes’ Feisty Princess. For this year’s opening, Quebec filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée landed TIFF’s coveted opening gala slot withDemolition , starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts and Chris Cooper. Jean- Marc Vallée, of course, also directed Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club (a TIFF premiere in 2013) and Reese Witherspoon in Wild. TIFF’s long history is rich with under-the-radar movies that went on to become international blockbusters: Chariots of Fire (1981), The Big Chill (1983), The Fisher King (1991), American Beauty (1999), Crash (2004), Slumdog Millionaire (2009), The King’s Speech (2010) and Silver Linings Playbook (2012). Here are our top picks from this year’s festival: Black Mass Starring Johnny Depp as Boston’s feared underworld mobster turned FBI informant, James “Whitey” Bolger, is being heralded as the breakout role in Depp’s current career slump and an Oscar-worthy performance. Depp is evil incarnate right down to his creepy blue contact lenses. Kevin Bacon, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dakota Johnson co-star. In theaters now. The Martian Director Ridley Scott and Matt Damon team up to knock this space film out of the park. Damon is an astronaut stranded on Mars. An out-of-this-world MacGiver, he relies on his expansive engineering and botany skills to stay alive as the ground crew figures out how to get him home.

SHIRLEY MACLAINE to RECEIVE 40Th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

SHIRLEY MACLAINE TO RECEIVE 40th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD America’s Highest Honor for a Career in Film to be Presented June 7, 2012 LOS ANGELES, CA, October 9, 2011 – Sir Howard Stringer, Chair of the American Film Institute’s Board of Trustees, announced today the Board’s decision to honor Shirley MacLaine with the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award, the highest honor for a career in film. The award will be presented to MacLaine at a gala tribute on Thursday, June 7, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA. TV Land will broadcast the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute on TV Land later in June 2012. The event will celebrate MacLaine’s extraordinary life and all her endeavors – movies, television, Broadway, author and beyond. "Shirley MacLaine is a powerhouse of personality that has illuminated screens large and small across six decades," said Stringer. "From ingénue to screen legend, Shirley has entertained a global audience through song, dance, laughter and tears, and her career as writer, director and producer is even further evidence of her passion for the art form and her seemingly boundless talents. There is only one Shirley MacLaine, and it is AFI’s honor to present her with its 40th Life Achievement Award." Last year’s AFI Tribute brought together icons of the film community to honor Morgan Freeman. Sidney Poitier opened the tribute, and Clint Eastwood presented the award at evening’s end. Also participating were Casey Affleck, Dan Aykroyd, Matthew Broderick, Don Cheadle, Bill Cosby, David Fincher, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Judd, Matthew McConaughey, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Tim Robbins, Chris Rock, Hilary Swank, Forest Whitaker, Betty White, Renée Zellweger and surprise musical guest Garth Brooks.

Reese Witherspoon (right) with makeup artist Molly R. Stern Photographed by Miller Mobley on Nov. 5 at Studio 1342 in Los Angeles “ A few years ago, I was like, ‘I don’t like these lines on my face,’ and Molly goes, ‘Um, those are smile lines. Don’t feel bad about that,’ ” says Witherspoon. “She makes me feel better about how I look and how I’m changing and makes me feel like aging is beautiful.” Styling by Carol McColgin On Witherspoon: Dries Van Noten top. On Stern: m.r.s. top. Beauty in the eye of the beholder? No, today, beauty is in the eye of the Internet. This, 2015, was the year that beauty went fully social, when A-listers valued their looks according to their “likes” and one Instagram post could connect with millions of followers. Case in point: the Ali MacGraw-esque look created for Kendall Jenner (THR beauty moment No. 9) by hairstylist Jen Atkin. Jenner, 20, landed an Estee Lauder con- tract based partly on her social-media popularity (40.9 million followers on Instagram, 13.3 million on Twitter) as brands slavishly chase the Snapchat generation. Other social-media slam- dunks? Lupita Nyong’o’s fluffy donut bun at the Cannes Film Festival by hairstylist Vernon Francois (No. 2) garnered its own hashtag (“They're calling it a #fronut,” the actress said on Instagram. “I like that”); THR cover star Taraji P. Henson’s diva dyna- mism on Fox’s Empire (No. 1) spawns thousands of YouTube tutorials on how to look like Cookie Lyon; and Cara Delevingne’s 22.2 million Instagram followers just might have something do with high-end brow products flying off the shelves.

From cinema divas such as Sophia Loren, Jane Fonda or Gina Lollobrigida to long forgotten starlets from science fiction series or B-Movies, Type 42 is a testimony of an obsession with women on the silver screen. As Sam Stourdzé, former director of the Musée d'Elysée and new director of Les Rencontres d'Arles points out in the photography journal ELSE1: “The spectral aspect of the blurred and distorted figures stems from a combination of elements, the fleetingness of the moving image, the curved and glass screen, and the slanted position of the camera.
