even though spielberg has made significant use of modern technology in recent times, we realized that high tech did not mesh with this film. beneath his powerful style and incredible technique, we understood that we had to surprise him by heading towards something that reclaims the “artist’s” work. what mattered was not our know - how but the emotion that we could transmit to a simple thing .

t’s established in allen lore that the picture was originally a two - and - a - half - hour solipsistic ramble, with alvy and annie’s fling relegated to a subplot. but in the edit, their relationship was what brought the film to life, and the dead wood was mercilessly cut back. allen’s preferred name for the film he’d originally planned was anhedonia: a greek term for the inability to feel pleasure. there couldn’t have been a less appropriate title for the finished film .
its handlers, from the keiko project, a collaboration of marine experts from the humane society of the united states and the free willy - keiko foundation charity, coaxed it a few miles to the more remote taknes fjord in november 2002. they still often fed it the 110lb of fish that it required every day .
s (digital video discs) accelerated these trends, with the computer emerging as a new production unit in filmmaking and the internet as a site for film distribution and exhibition. one result of these changes was the appearance on the world stage of filmmakers—particularly chinese - language ones—from places that had previously been little recognized within international film culture .

he first film in which allen directed diane keaton was also, perhaps not coincidentally, the first film to suggest he had more in him than than madcap, gag - driven comedies. (they appeared in a film together before his directing days). that’s not to say sleeper isn’t as madcap and gag - driven as his earliest work: a film about a health food shop owner who falls into a vat of liquid nitrogen and wakes up 200 years later kind of has to be. but allen’s painting with new colours here: romance, melancholy, and even – gasp! – coherent plotting, while the uproarious robot butler sequence showcased his talent for silent - era physical clowning .

the movie doesn' t update the musical so much as bring it to a high electric streamlined gloss. the director rob marshall, a stage veteran making his big screen debut, paces the film with gusto. it' s not all breakneck production numbers, but it' s never far from one. and the choreography doesn' t copy fosse' s inimitable style, but it' s not far from it, either; the movie sideswipes imitation on its way to homage .
t opens with one of allen’s most vividly written, shot and acted scenes ever, as judy davis and sydney pollack arrive for dinner and announce their separation plans. the way their best friends, allen and farrow, respond – shocked, but also offended – turns this into a rapid marvel of four - way characterisation. this is allen’s most scorching anatomy of marital bonds, a film so bitter, witheringly frank and unsentimental he entirely reinvented his style of shooting and editing for it .
in order to capture the spirit of leonardo dicaprio’s character, we chose to employ a creative process that did not resort to the use of high technology. we used the same techniques as the film’s protagonist, by imagining the characters in stamp form, made from the same cutters as those used in the film by frank abagnale jr. we wanted to preserve that crudeness .

the color palette does so much to set the feel of the jet setting era in which the film takes place. was there an intentionality to the colors that you selected and if so, what materials did you reference ?
it’s a glorious premise, explored by allen and his cast to dazzlingly funny ends. what gives the film its existential bite, though, is a two - part acknowledgement late in the game: firstly, that the beautiful solace film offers is a lie, and secondly, that it doesn’t matter. watching it, you feel (and probably look) like farrow’s heroine: a smiling face in the dark, lit up, flickering, alive .

keiko became the centre of worldwide attention after the release of free willy in 1993. in the film, a killer whale is coaxed by a young boy to jump over a sea park wall to freedom. reality proved more difficult .
in russia a significant figure to emerge was aleksandr sokurov, whose early films had been “shelved, ” or prohibited from public screening, until 1987. sokurov’s first film to be widely seen internationally was mat’ i syn (1997; mother and son). in 2002 he made russki kovcheg (russian ark), a 96 - minute tour of the hermitage museum in st. petersburg, in a single take without cuts, the longest steadicam shot ever recorded. aleksey balabanov directed both crime dramas— brat (1997; brother) and a sequel, brat ii (2000; brother ii) —and meditative historical works, including pro ourodov i lioudiei (1998; of freaks and men) .
e’s speaking to the film’s other main character, allen’s documentary filmmaker clifford stern, in the one scene they share, sitting apart from a wedding celebration at the film’s very end. not here the fortune - cookie insights that some of allen’s lesser pictures call philosophy. here he’s thinking deeply about moral choice, the question of whether guilt in your own eyes or the eyes of the world matters more. this bubblingly wise film, rich with beautifully dovetailing metaphors about blindness and conscience and the perils of self - knowledge, has only grown in stature since its release. it is allen on soaring form, gliding so elegantly through its maze of ideas it’s as if the spirit of fred astaire gave it lift - off .

after three years at paramount, he returned to design and remained active throughout the 1980' s and 90' s, working with directors like mr. coppola on'' the cotton club'' and mr. de palma on'' the bonfire of the vanities'' and'' carlito' s way.'' tall and charismatic, he even acted a bit, appearing in a bit role in the 1996 film'' mulholland falls,'' a film he also, of course, designed .
an entirely new arena for tap dancers opened up with the introduction of “talking” motion pictures. although the technology for sound on film had been around for several years, it was not until the jazz singer (1927) that the public accepted this new medium. …
the original stamps, that we created in a few hours, are those that exist in the final product. the magic of the first try was not altered. the force of the sketch remained. that seemed to cohere with the spielberg spirit. when it was time to sync our title sequence with his film, we asked him to send us some images from his avid or via the internet, but we also received an actual piece of film because he edits his films the old - fashioned way, on a moviola .
13. city of god was brazil' s official submission to the best foreign language film category for the 75th academy awards in 2003. but it failed to receive a nomination. the same year, miramax released the movie in the u. s. which qualified it for other categories the following year. in 2004, city of god was nominated for four academy awards (best director, best editing, best cinematography, and best adaptated screenplay). it was the first time a brazilian film earned more than two oscar nods .
the curtain - raiser for cannes in 2002 was the definition of a duff opener, pleasing nobody: allen cast himself as a once - fêted director who suffers an attack of hysterical blindness. strenuous farce ensues, with a feature - length quantity of dead time on screen, and only téa leoni threatening to be an asset. the punchline explains its cannes berth: when the $ 60m movie allen’s character directs while blind is a resounding flop, his one consolation is that the french love it. but not even the french loved hollywood ending .
9. city of god marks the acting debut of 19 - year - old alice braga, now one of brazil' s most famous actresses. she had appeared in commercials as a child but hadn' t done much since. she credits the film for her current success .

was worried that if this movie flopped at the box - office (like his previous two films), it would be the end of his directing career. luckily for him, that didn' t happen. after an initial lukewarm response, the film became a surprise sleeper hit .
at the end of the 20th century, japan’s long - established film culture was characterized by individual work rather than by dominant movements, as had been the case in the past. as in france, filmmakers of the japanese new wave era of the 1960s continued to be active, with
allen has often shown an interest in stage magic and hypnotism (see also: scoop, magic in the moonlight), but this enthusiasm reached its unfortunate nadir in this dodo of a light comedy, his most expensive film (it cost $ 33m) and by his own reckoning among the worst. his own performance as a wisecracking insurance investigator hypnotised into jewel theft was one problem, but helen hunt doesn' t fare much better as the ruthless efficiency expert he wants off his back. all the film achieves is managing to look lavishly nostalgic for a more sexist era .
f allen’s many mooted returns to form, here’s the film that actually was one: a lacerating comedy of financial and romantic recessions, and his best work since his extraordinary mid - career hot streak came crunching to a halt in the early 1990s. cate blanchett won an oscar for her heart - tightening performance in the title role – a kind of blanche dubois of park avenue brought low by her husband’s economic chicanery. jasmine’s dogged denial of her desperate circumstances is the fire under the film’s feet, and watching her crumble is agonising, thrilling – and, most damning of all, great fun .
mckee believes that executives can engage listeners on a whole new level if they toss their powerpoint slides and learn to tell good stories instead. in his best - selling book story: substance, structure, style, and the principles of screenwriting, published in 1997 by harper - collins, mckee argues that stories “fulfill a profound human need to grasp the patterns of living—not merely as an intellectual exercise, but within a very personal, emotional experience. ” what follows is an edited and abridged transcript of mckee’s conversation with hbr .
entertaining for the most part, but many of the concepts introduced in the film are flawed. i wouldn' t call
minority report
the most intelligent science - fiction film ever made. maybe one of the most interesting. the future that spielberg creates is believable and is one that certainly could happen. maybe not the whole predicting the future thing, but most of the technology used in the film mirrors the technology in our world today. on a narrative standpoint ,
minority report
is intense yet many of the things that happen may make you wonder why they happened. the entire story is based on anderton seeing himself as a future killer. the question is, how did his future appear on that screen? everything is based on what he saw but if he didn' t see it none of the things that happened would have happened. it' s a flawed concept that really doesn' t make any sense .
the film takes place in the 1960s and spielberg desired for us to transplant the audience into a varied universe, with a bit of chic and a sense of drama (certainly not a humorous cartoon). we decided to take on the same approach as those who created title sequences during that era: as if we were in that era, working amongst colleagues. not in terms of technological means, but in terms of philosophy. we wanted to deliver a personal creation that has our mark, that works in contrast to studio title sequences in which the artist’s hand is less visible. we wish to have the audience of this film rediscover a paradise lost .
ere it is: not just allen' s creative pinnacle, but perhaps the most perfectly assured braiding of comedy and drama in mainstream american film. it feels like the miraculous sweet spot between all of its filmmaker' s many modes and tones – biting without being cruel, profound without seeming sanctimonious, warmly humane without collapsing into goo .
fter a run of russet - hued collaborations with cinematographer darius khondji, allen is working here for the first time with the venerable vittorio storaro, and the change has done him the good. a couple of scenes with bobby and vonnie together are the most visually beautiful sequences in an allen film in goodness knows how long. and then there' s
its fortunes changed in 1993 when it starred in free willy, about a boy fighting the unscrupulous owner of an oceanarium to liberate its star turn. the film became a worldwide hit, and when the living conditions of the real
willy
became known, adults and children funded a multi - million dollar campaign to save keiko from its tank in mexico .
todd haynes'
far from heaven
is like the best and bravest movie of 1957. its themes, values and style faithfully reflect the social melodramas of the 1950s, but it' s bolder, and says out loud what those films only hinted at. it begins with an ideal suburban connecticut family, a husband and wife
team
so thoroughly absorbed into corporate culture they' re known as
mr. and mrs. magnatech .
then it develops that mr. magnatech is gay, and mrs. magnatech believes that the black gardener is the most beautiful man she has ever seen .
it was superstar rajnikant who blessed me to join the film industry. he paid rs 10, 000 / - on behalf of me to the dancer' s association and bought the dancer card for me. now, the price of card is rs 15, 000 / -. i came to the film industry with the recommendation of rajnikanth. i joined as a dancer for shiva shankar master for one year and then i worked for prabhu deva master for 5 months. i am the first and only dancer to become master with in two years of entering the field as dancer. after seeing my phenomenal rise, the dancers' union passed on a new rule that a dancer should have a minimum of 5 years of experience to become a dance master .
far from heaven
uses superb craftsmanship to make this film look and feel like a film from the 1950s. todd haynes says he had three specific inspirations: douglas sirk' s
all that heaven allows
( 1955), which starred jane wyman and rock hudson in the story of a middle - aged widow and her handsome young gardener; sirk' s
imitation of life
( 1959), with lana turner as a rich woman whose maid' s daughter (susan kohner) passed for white, and max ophuls'
the reckless moment
( 1949), about blackmail. in sirk' s films you often have the feeling that part of the plot is in code; that one kind of forbidden love stands for another .
17. in the english - subtitled version of the film, mané galinha is called
knockout ned .
the name was changed to avoid confusion since mané galinha means
chicken manuel .
in the u. s. a chicken is a coward, but, as mentioned above, in brazil it means
womanizer
and the character also stole chickens. the term
knockout
means
handsome
in american slang .

with the fall of the berlin wall in 1989 and the collapse of the soviet union two years later, the film cultures of russia and the former soviet - bloc countries of eastern europe experienced dramatic transformations. formerly controlled and supported by the state, film production shifted into private hands. with the boundaries that previously had divided eastern from western europe now torn down, filmmakers were freed to work where they pleased or where opportunities existed. a prominent example was the polish director krzysztof kieslowski, who in 1991 made la double vie de véronique (the double life of veronique), which suggested a mysterious symmetry between two women, one living in poland and the other in france. kieslowski shifted his filmmaking work to france, where he made the important trois couleurs (“three colours”) trilogy— bleu (1993; blue), rouge (1994; red), and blanc (1994; white) —before his death in 1996 .
7. the scene where buscapé tells marina (graziela moretto )
he never took a hot bath
wasn' t scripted. it was actually footage of rodrigues and moretto talking off camera. during a pause in shooting, he was simply telling her about his life in the city of god. 8. the film was not actually shot in the cidade de deus, as it was too dangerous. it was shot in a neighboring, less dangerous area .
as beloved as city of god is (currently # 21 in the imdb top 250), it remains a mysterious star in the film universe. meirelles followed it up with the underrated constant gardener in 2005, but has yet to match its greatness again. city of god stands on its own at this point and is still one of the best gangster films of the new millennium. let' s dig deeper into the movie and discover what was going down behind the scenes :
gene hackman, ian holm and martha plimpton feature in the flashbacks and present - day scenes she’s weighing up against each other, trying to work out where her life slid into a rut of barely noticed unfulfilment, and how to escape it. in the film’s most unnerving scene, she bumps into a high - school friend (sandy dennis) who dumps a shocking checklist of grievances in her lap, revealing marion' s long - held view of herself as a kind of mirage .
filmmaking was inevitably affected by the prolonged, bitter, and brutal breakup of yugoslavia during the 1990s. under the circumstances, every film from the region was likely to come under attack from some group as a work of propaganda. this was the case for the work of emir kusturica, who had gained wide recognition for his films in the 1980s but caused controversy in the 1990s with underground (1995) and crna macka, beli macor (1998; black cat, white cat) .
absolutely. we follow people in whom we believe. the best leaders i’ve dealt with—producers and directors—have come to terms with dark reality. instead of communicating via spin doctors, they lead their actors and crews through the antagonism of a world in which the odds of getting the film made, distributed, and sold to millions of moviegoers are a thousand to one. they appreciate that the people who work for them love the work and live for the small triumphs that contribute to the final triumph .
city of god is a great film, but it resonated with viewers because it' s a gangster movie. the movie tells the origin of li' l zé, a killer with serious self - loathing issues. and meirelles spins his tale, as well as others, with hyperkinetic editing, handheld cameras, and sun - soaked lighting. the effect is scorsese - esque and thrilling. but city of god also manages to skirt glorifying the violence. you don' t envy these guys .
his first film work as production designer came in 1956, for'' baby doll,'' directed by mr. kazan, for whom he later designed'' a face in the crowd,'' and'' splendor in the grass.'' the approval of mr. kazan and appreciation of his work opened other director' s eyes. mr. sylbert was in constant demand, working as an art director or production designer on more than two dozen films from 1956 to 1975 .
on the subject of villains, raimi considered showcasing the transformation of dr. curt connors into the lizard, with dylan baker reprising his role. he also had plans to upgrade bruce campbell to a more significant role than his prior cameos. in december 2009, it was reported that john malkovich was in talks to play the vulture, with anne hathaway playing felicia hardy. hardy would be taking a departure from her prior portrayals in this film, becoming
vulturess
instead of the familiar black cat .
jump cuts abound, straight - to - camera interviews break up the plot, and carlo di palma’s handheld camera whip - pans all over the place, seeming to reel from one accusation or gossip - bomb to the next as this foursome all experiment separately with new lovers: perfect catch liam neeson, aerobics bimbo lysette anthony, impressionable student juliette lewis. it’s woody’s last film with farrow and feels, even more now, like a brutal post - mortem on their whole relationship: he even makes himself the loser .
in 1994, allen adapted his first professionally produced play – a quick - fire cold war farce in which a family of american tourists are mistaken for spies – for the television network abc. a previous film version had been made in 1969, and apparently niggled away at allen for years, though his own take in no sense redeems it: it looks shatteringly cheap and ugly, while the cast (which includes michael j. fox and julie kavner) have nothing to work with but reheated, three - decades - old schtick .
he best of allen’s europe - trotting films is the one most in touch with its touristic soul. scarlett johansson and rebecca hall are two young american women who fall for javier bardem’s divorced artist during a catalonian excursion – and like a midsummer night’s sex comedy, it’s the idea of romance as a mini - break for the soul that gives the film its rosily libidinous power. of its unspeakably attractive cast, penélope cruz was the eventual oscar - winner; oftentimes, you sense allen’s just happy to be tagging along for the ride .
adio days is allen being nostalgic about nostalgia: it’s the kind of film about the olden days they just don’t make any more. the model was fellini’s free - flowing 1973 masterpiece amarcord, with rimini swapped for rockaway beach in queens, where a working - class jewish family buzz and drift through everyday life, while the music of glenn miller and duke ellington crackles comfortingly from the living room set. allen weaves in further stories of stars and wannabes, muddling memory and fantasy. the result isn’t so much a collage as a patchwork quilt .
woody’s fourth and, thus far, final london film is a lightly cynical ensemble juggling act, taking in gold - digging, psychic love advice and ambulance - chasing literary plagiarism. josh brolin is well cast as a desperate novelist, but gemma jones has the best of it as the jilted wife of anthony hopkins, whose new girlfriend is a tacky ex - hooker (lucy punch). allen, alas, seems above all of his characters here, and inflicts petty twists of fate on them which feel forced and malicious rather than wise or illuminating .
erhaps of all allen’s early comedies, this is the one that could be remade today with the fewest concessions to modern taste. that might be because on its release, it already felt like a film out of time: it’s effectively the marx brothers’ duck soup with a cuban spin (allen’s wilting new york nebbish accidentally becomes a dictator) and survives on its never - ending supply of lunatic gags, thundering past like an express train. it looks cheap, which is funny in itself, and satire and spoofery are crammed in until it bulges at the seams .
reilly brings a kind of pathetic sincere naivete to the role - - the same tone, indeed, he brings to a similar husband in
the hours ,
where it is also needed. it' s surprising to see the confidence in his singing and dancing, until you find out he was in musicals all through school. zellweger is not a born hoofer, but then again roxie hart isn' t supposed to be a star; the whole point is that she isn' t, and what zellweger invaluably contributes to the role is roxie' s dreamy infatuation with herself, and her quickly growing mastery of publicity. velma is supposed to be a singing and dancing star, and zeta - jones delivers with glamor, high style and the delicious confidence the world forces on you when you are one of its most beautiful inhabitants. as for queen latifah, she' s too young to remember sophie tucker, but not to channel her .
allen cast a fond eye back to the hollywood musicals of his childhood for this all - singing, star - stuffed confection, which follows a clan of wealthy manhattanites chasing after love in new york, venice and paris. edward norton, drew barrymore, julia roberts and goldie hawn are among the game cast singing their hearts out. despite those names it was a commercial flop, and its airiness can sometimes play as insubstantial. but when the film works, it really works: not least when hawn defies gravity on the banks of the seine in its magical finale .
allen has yet to submit a film entitled “will this do? ”, but anything else comes closest, both in its title and for recycling old tropes about thwarted creativity and being stuck with a pesky, permanently difficult long - term girlfriend (christina ricci) who wants to move her mother in. jason biggs’s character is meant to be an aspiring comedy writer, but allen’s script gives him not one funny line. all of these go to his ageing intellectual mentor, a veritable fount of park - bench philosophical witticisms, played by guess who. go on, have a guess .
because the film deliberately lacks irony, it has a genuine dramatic impact; it plays like a powerful 1957 drama we' ve somehow never seen before. the effect is oddly jolting: contemporary movies take so many subjects for granted that they never really look at them. haynes, by moving back in time, is able to bring his issues into focus. we care about the characters in the way its period expected us to. (there is one time rupture; frank uses the f - word to his wife and the fabric of the film breaks, only to be repaired when he apologizes .) julianne moore, dennis quaid and dennis haysbert are called on to play characters whose instincts are wholly different from their own. by succeeding, they make their characters real, instead of stereotypes. the tenderness of cathy and raymond' s unrealized love is filled with regret that is all the more touching because they acknowledge that their society will not accept them as a couple. when raymond and his daughter leave town, cathy suggests may she could visit them sometimes, in baltimore, but raymond gently replies ,
i' m not sure that would be a good idea.
