i think of the people i have known and loved who have spent their last years in the hidden land of dementia, from which none return. we come into life with nothing and gradually we build up the vast, rich world of the self: language and knowledge and relationships and belongings and experience and memory and love. above all, memory and love. all of these fall away as the life returns to that state of nothing. when we cannot even say “i am”. when we cannot .

because it is not a film that knows any time has passed since 9 / 11. the entire story, every detail, is told in the present tense. we know what they know when they know it, and nothing else. nothing about al qaeda, nothing about osama bin laden, nothing about afghanistan or iraq, only events as they unfold. this is a masterful and heartbreaking film, and it does honor to the memory of the victims .
seventy years ago, allied troops invaded germany and liberated nazi death camps. they found unspeakable horrors which still haunt the world’s conscience. frontline presents the world broadcast of a 1945 film made by british and american film crews who were with the troops liberating the camps. the film was directed in part by alfred hitchcock and was broadcast for the first time in its entirety on frontline .

director michael bay' s futuristic action - adventure thriller faced major legal problems when the producers of the low - budget independent film parts: the clonus horror (1979) filed a legal suit in 2005 (settled out of court in 2006) claiming that the dreamworks / warner bros. production was an unauthorized, cloned, scene - by - scene remake. it also combined elements of thx 1138 (1971), logan' s run (1976), and blade runner (1982) .
as with any david lynch film, making sense of the surrealistic images, unconventional and non - linear plot, overlapping storylines, alternate worlds, hyperlinked events, and changing identities (doubling of characters as doppelgangers) can be dubious. even the title of the film was ambiguous, not referring to a region in socal, but something more interior to the psyche. the film' s main clue was its tagline :

henke' s next film is a comic drama entitled choke, which is set for release in august 2008. the film screened at the sundance film festival earlier that year, where henke and his three main co - stars (anjelica huston, kelly macdonald, and sam rockwell) won the grand jury prize for best work by an ensemble cast. henke' s other upcoming films include around june and one way to valhalla .
during one of the first run - throughs of the script, a disturbance was heard backstage in the studio - when devon investigated, he saw nikki' s lurking double seeing herself (at a later point in the film when she entered an alleyway and a door marked axxon n). nikki ran away, into the plain suburban home of another film character named smithy (character sue' s husband in the film ?) .
true, “the notebook” also moved from present to past, and supplied well - timed but unlikely moments when the patient’s mind opened in perfect clarity and memory. but it proposed to be a romance, not a biography. “a song for martin” is about a couple who meet in later life, fall in love passionately, and then have the cloud fall between them. and “memory of a killer” stars jan decleir in an unforgettable performance as an aging belgian hit man who wants to retire, and undertakes one last job in which he fights against the fading of his light to bring about an extraordinary outcome. rent it .
but predictably, the most inventive ideas have appeared on forums, in particular that of lynch' s own inland empire site. there, posters have mused at length on what the director was intending the film to signify. the permanence of memory? the future of eastern europe? his own body of work? telepathy? the natures of men and animals? the terror of one woman (but not dern) at the loss of her husband and child ?
at the end of the day, memory is a frustrating movie. there are aspects of it that show a lot of potential, and the ending is legitimately really cool, but it has an overall air of cheese to it and feels utterly cheap. with a really strong cast and a much better director this story could have served as the groundwork for a much better film. it’s just a shame that it was wasted in this less than spectacular final product .
you may have heard the news that the world will soon see
alfred hitchcock' s unseen holocaust documentary .
that intriguing sounding announcement belies a more complicated reality. this new, restored film draws on footage shot by the british army film unit in nazi concentration camps in 1945, which was actually released in the mid - 80s, in a film called memory of the camps. this first version, which you can watch above, took nearly forty years to reach the public, when it was finally released in 1984, first at the berlin film festival, then on pbs. until that time, the original footage sat unused in storage at the imperial war museum, consigned there after the allied military government decided that such publicity for nazi atrocities wouldn' t get germany reconstructed any faster. how, right in the aftermath of the second world war, might we have reacted to its hauntingly revealing coverage of bergen - belsen ?
the ballad of narayama

away from her
is the fifth film i’ve seen about alzheimer’s in these opening years of the century, and the best, although only one of them has been disappointing. using sympathy and tenderness for its characters, “away from her” tells the story of a marriage that drifts out of the memory of the wife, and of the husband’s efforts to deal with that fact. we have two canadian women to thank for this film: the writer and director, sarah polley (born 1979), and the author of the short story that inspired it, alice munro (born 1931). munro in her short fiction has the ability to evoke a lifetime in images and dialogue of almost startling perception. polley with her camera takes the material, finds an uncanny balance in her casting, and bathes the film in the mercy of simple truth .
director spike lee' s r - rated film was a typical hollywood retreaded heist - thriller flick, specifically a tense hostage drama. it reflected elements found in serpico (1973), dog day afternoon (1975), the comedy heist film quick change (1990), and die hard: with a vengeance (1995) .
this classic science fiction film by director don siegel involved the fear of a small town doctor that many of his patients, friends and relatives were experiencing fearful paranoia and delusions that their acquaintances were imposters - and were possibly being replaced by doppelgangers. the film was an effective metaphor for the fear of communist infiltration during the cold war 1950s .
harder also had a role in the 1999 independent film dumbarton bridge, starring daphne ashbrook. his television credits include at least three appearances on nash bridges. [ 12 ]
the film opened with cunning leader dalton russell (clive owen) and his gang committing the

anyone planning on seeing the movie this weekend should look away now. but for anyone still here, or who might have now seen the film and come back ...
for the remainder of the film, simon' s mind was in a confused state regarding the actual year, alarming events with his brother and wife, and his own existence .
director jane campion' s dark feminist sex film was considered a pretentious rip - off of richard brooks' looking for mr. goodbar (1977). it featured the tagline :
de heer’s collaboration with the yolngu people of ramingining began in 2000 when australian screen icon david gulpilil was cast as the lead in de heer’s film the tracker. at their first meeting in adelaide, gulpilil invited de heer to meet with him among his family in ramingining, to see his traditional lands and to make a film with him set in this area of north east arnhem land. de heer first visited ramingining in late 2000. in 2003, he and gulpilil began working together on a film, meeting with a number of gulpilil’s influential contemporaries to discuss ideas for it. all agreed the film should be set in “old times”, and initially they settled on the idea of some kind of aboriginal story that would end with the massacre of the yolngu characters by white invaders. this plan was abandoned, however, when gulpilil insisted that the film should centre on ten canoes. according to gulpilil :
writer / director chris d.' s (chris desjardins) first feature - length film was this direct - to - dvd / video low - budget, independent horror film. the over - used plot twist in this film was also seen in carnival of souls (1962), siesta (1987), jacob' s ladder (1990), a pure formality (1994), the sixth sense (1999), the others (2001), soul survivors (2001), stay (2005), and many other films .
according to the independent, a screening of memory of the camps' material left even alfred hitchcock, certainly no stranger to death and malevolence ,
so traumatised that he stayed away from pinewood studios for a week .
he' d shown up there in the first place as an advisor, and in that capacity offered director sidney bernstein advice on how, visually, to place these shocking revelations in a recognizable geographical and human context .
he took a circle round each concentration camp as it were on a map, different villages, different places and the numbers of people ,
bernstein remembers .
otherwise you could show a concentration camp, as you see them now, and it could be anywhere, miles away from humanity. he brought that into the film .

“that' s probably true! ” paxton, 50, said over breakfast friday, making a rare trip home for the benefit to help raise money for a fledgling local film society .
dazed, she then returned (drenched in blood) to malloy where she had handcuffed him earlier, and laid down next to him in a spooning position, as the film ended .
the ten canoes agreement recognizes the ramingining community’s property rights for all artefacts and sets made for the film. these materials were included in a recent multi - media art / cultural exhibition .
the film opened with a scene revisited much later in the film - cobb was lying on a beach where he was found delirious. he envisioned his children playing near him. he was taken by an armed guard to a beachside fortress where he was faced by wealthy, aged corporate executive saito (ken watanabe). the japanese businessman had been cobb' s latest employer .
in early 1972 garber was cast in the lead role of jesus in a toronto production of the musical godspell, along with andrea martin. garber was possibly the most experienced member of that production' s cast, having already starred in a number of theatrical musical productions. [ 2 ] garber reprised his role for 1973 film adaptation of godspell, which marked his film debut .

then, she realized he was dead (
miles? miles! miles! oh! oh, no .
). sobbing, she leaned over and kissed him, as the film ended .
memory follows taylor briggs, an alzheimer’s researcher that comes into contact with a strange substance and begins to suffer from hallucinations and odd dreams. he believes these to be memories unlocking, though given some of the details contained within, that’s impossible. the further he looks into what these mean, the more he discovers that he might be seeing new evidence towards decades - old murders, and the killer may still be out there .
garber' s subsequent film credits include how stella groove back (1998, with whoopi goldberg), legally blonde (2001) and tuck everlasting (2002). he also worked with raphael sbarge in the 2002 film home room, with garber and sbarge playing a pair of detectives. more recently, garber played mayor george moscone in gus van sant' s academy award - winning 2008 biographical drama milk .
in the film' s first epilogue, the lost girl ran into smithy' s house where she happily embraced her estranged husband and child (a symbol of nikki' s own restored marriage !) .
is it a homage to alice in wonderland? or a poisoned valentine to hollywood? any which way, even if you hate it, your subconscious will thank you for seeing this brilliant, bonkers film .
perhaps garber' s most well - known film role is that of thomas andrews, the man who spearheaded the building of the rms titanic, in the academy award - winning titanic. also starring in this film was fellow trek movie actor david warner. for their work in titanic, garber, warner, and their co - stars were nominated by the screen actors guild awards for outstanding performance by a cast .
kent has performed aerial stunts and coordinated aerial sequences in films such as cliffhanger (1993), terminal velocity (1994, with christopher mcdonald and tim kelleher), smoke jumpers (1996, with timothy carhart, spencer garrett, jana marie hupp, and bill bolender), eraser (1996, with vanessa williams), cutaway (2000), xxx (2002), and last holiday (2006), and in television series such as rescue 911, saved by the bell, dave' s world, and german productions such as der clown and schutzengel .
the theories are legion. among the critics, industry totem variety had one of the most hopeful sallies. to their jay weissberg, not only did the film' s rabbit sitcom represent an overt link to alice in wonderland, the relentless blurring of dern' s identities suggested lynch, with his devotion to transcendental meditation, was actually expounding on reincarnation. for the boston globe' s ty burr, the film should be understood as a treatise on (to paraphrase its own tagline) all
women in trouble
. the film' s litany of flickering screens meant to slant' s ed gonzalez that it was clearly about
the ecstasy and healing power of watching movies
, while for others the cursed production framing the rest of the movie constituted a poisoned valentine to old hollywood and / or the modern film industry .
nikki had auditioned and received the part of sue blue, playing opposite womanizing actor devon berk as billy slide (justin theroux). the film was an adaptation of a polish gypsy tale (an adulterous love story) - with a plot about marriage and murder. it was directed by high - profile, pompous kingsley stewart (jeremy irons), with assistance from a broke freddie howard (harry dean stanton). production on the previously - cursed remake (titled vier - sieben: 47) of the film was never finished when the two leads were murdered. there were intimations that the current film would also be cursed .
when the film ended with a slaughter at the asylum by monstrous creatures, trent wandered out into the world that was alarmingly empty after a bloody slaughter and civilization had seemingly been destroyed by cane' s creatures .
the film opened with a view of a creepy old woman (philip friedman) through a window, holding a candle - a major hint, and then the title screen in pulsating, blood - red lettering .
was no slouch himself, contributing nearly 200 above - average innings, as well). without these contributions, no number of walks would’ve mattered. leaving these players out of the film is a bit like filming the new testament and never mentioning that jesus fellow. and yet, the words “hudson, ” “mulder, ” and “zito” are never uttered in the film. the only pitchers given any screen - time are relievers
among her acting resume are films such as lilith (1964, with rene auberjonois), the kentucky fried movie (1977, with henry gibson and manny perry), the academy award winning drama coming home (1978, with bruce french and jonathan banks), the ladies club (1986, with karen austin, bruce davison, nicholas worth, tina lifford, james avery, and biff yeager), legion of the dead (2001, with matthias hues), viagra falls (2006), and the short comedy have a nice death (2007, still photography by kyla kuhner) .
so, it' s finally here - the british release of david lynch' s mesmeric inland empire, a film i and other contributors to this blog have been over - excitedly discussing for what seems several years now .
in the final scenes of the movie. due to time problems, this scene was among the ones that were removed from the film, but were later included in the
deleted scenes
section of the dvd release .
sarah polley, still so young, always until now an actress (“ the sweet hereafter, ” “ my life without me ”), emerges here as a director who is in calm command of almost impossible material. the movie says as much for her strength of character as for her skills. anyone who could read munro’s original story and think they could make a film of it, and then make a great film, deserves a certain awe .
so here’s one, of shel silverstein singing with dr. hook in “who is harry kellerman and why is he saying these terrible things about me? (1970), starring dustin hoffman. (shel scored the film. )

gets at the why of oakland’s success without ever really examining the how. of course, from the average moviegoer’s perspective, i don’t think it makes much of a difference. the basic tenets of the sabrmetric philosophy are clearly presented in the film, and while it’s sometimes a bit broad, the movie does a remarkable job of dramatizing the concepts. the sins of the film – such as giving beane too much credit for his strategy (other gms, including
the other recent alzheimer’s movies are bille august ’s “ a song for martin ” (2002), nick cassavetes ’ “ the notebook ” (2004), and erik van looy ’s “ the memory of a killer ” (2005). all very good, the third perhaps the best. and then there was richard eyre ’s “ iris ” (2001), about the decline of the novelist iris murdoch, which struck me as cheating because it was too much about young iris .
director john carpenter paid convoluted, warped homage to stephen king and h. p. lovecraft in this film that blurred the boundaries of fantasy and reality, fact and fiction, sanity and insanity, and reality and cine - reality .
the accuser, in this case, is mr. hayden' s character, christian; the parent is his father, helge, a formidable restaurateur who is celebrating his 60th birthday. the memory of christian' s twin sister, who killed herself, forms the third point in the plot' s central triangle. ms. macgraw plays helge' s mostly (and mercifully) silent wife. and ms. margulies and mr. sisto are christian' s surviving, screwed - up siblings .
simon' s' death' in his dream of the year 2000 was mirrored or paralleled with his death in 2002. the film returned to the car accident scene - also shown in the film' s opening - when simon was being treated by emergency personnel. peter told him :
it' s your choice, simon, where you go. it' s your choice .
a time stamp clock showed the time of his death: 20: 02 .
daluz studied acting in new york and los angeles and portrayed various characters in stage plays such as beach blow out, hotel happiness, the bachelor party, and masks. among his acting experiences are the short drama drive by: a love story (1997, with golden brooks), the drama one night stand (1997, with thomas kopache and ray uhler), the drama 30 days (2006), and the action thriller eagle eye (2008, with bill smitrovich, william sadler, deborah strang, j. patrick mccormack, manny perry, colby french, bob morrisey, chase penny, peggy roeder, and christopher jude) .
so is there any way for art to probe into the heart of darkness? with advanced dementia, a person goes to a place we cannot follow and can barely guess at. the bursts of lucidity that those with catastrophic memory loss can sometimes have are like bright, sharp flashes of lightning over a blasted landscape – or perhaps even that is wishful thinking and they signify nothing, are just the last random sparks thrown out from a dying mind. we hang on to meaning and insist on it .
ariadne and fischer fell off the building as their
kick
to get back. cobb woke up again on the shores of saito' s beach house - the film' s opening scene. for cobb' s successful efforts at inception with fischer, saito made a phone call to clear away cobb' s legal troubles with immigration at lax, enter the us, be freed of his guilt, and be reunited with his children - at the film' s conclusion .
the film began when i showed a photograph from donald doctor thomson to rolf de heer and said what do you think? rolf de heer started to write that story with ramingining people, my people, and we started to work together .
director roland suso richter' s enigmatic psychological thriller (direct to video / dvd) was based upon screenwriter michael cooney' s own play

this is made violently clear in the tv series the fear, in which peter mullan plays a brighton crime boss struggling with memory loss. his profound and humiliated uncertainty infects the dramatisation, which is full of strangeness and menace. we experience the world through richie beckett’s eyes: we see characters morph into other characters; we hear words sliding away into a fuzz of sound. cruelty erupts out of tenderness. shapes waver and boundaries rupture. the world becomes indecipherable, a modernist drama made up of fragments that we have to join together .
from 1991 through 1994 garber starred in the canadian tv series e. n. g. (or electronic news gathering). during his time on this show garber starred in the tv movie the first circle (1992), receiving a gemini award nomination for his performance and working with fellow star trek film actors f. murray abraham and christopher plummer. garber was also nominated by the gemini awards for his role in the 1993 canadian tv movie dieppe and for his lead role in the 1999 film external affairs .
timmy then took control of malcolm' s personality and strangled psychiatrist dr. malick in the front seat of the van as the vehicle lurched to the side of the road. timmy whispered the nursery rhyme (in voice - over) as the film ended :
everything is changing, everything is going, going, gone now. the only thing the children know is some ceremony [ … ] they not even normal kids anymore. maybe they gonna keep this film with them so they can put it in their head .
one of the most influential texts in this debate is marcia langton’s well, i heard it on the radio and i saw it on the television: an essay for the australian film commission on the politics and aesthetics of filmmaking by and about aboriginal people and things (sydney: australian film commission, 1993). also see eric michaels’ groundbreaking essays on cross - cultural media, including “for a culture future”, which have been edited by paul foss and published as bad aboriginal art (university of minnesota press, 1994) .
writer / director neil labute' s disturbing drama (his debut film, a low - budget independent film) had as its thematic premise :
let' s hurt somebody
- a line spoken by corporate ex frat - boy chad (aaron eckhart) out to seek premeditated, retributive revenge on women, after he claimed he had broken up with steady girlfriend suzanne (emily cline) - and she had packed up, leaving him only a futon and his american gigolo poster. chad expressed his vile hatred of the fair sex :
attending hospital physician dr. newman [ revealed as mr. cable - the father of the two sons ] matter - of - factly delivered the news to simon in the film' s final line - with an added final sentence -

the film concluded by being folded back upon itself - trent entered an abandoned movie theatre that was showing the latest movie adaptation of sutter cane' s book - and slowly changed into a crazed, mutant creature that laughed maniacally as he sat down and watched himself on the silver screen .
suggestions that suffragettes were mostly posh are historical nonsense. as brilliantly depicted in the film suffragette, working women weren’t only foot soldiers of the movement but also its leaders. many were already in trade unions campaigning for universal suffrage and equal pay for male and female workers from the 1800s .

just before a movie audition for a remake of a film titled on high in blue tomorrows, aging yet privileged la actress nikki grace (laura dern), hoping for a comeback role, was visited in her luxury home by a heavily - accented polish neighbor lady (grace zabriskie). she related two old world folktales about an evil and lost girl. like a bizarre flash - forward, nikki was abruptly told that there was a
brutal f - - king murder
in the film' s plot, and prophetically told she would get the part in the film :
i definitely hear that you have it... actions do have consequences and yet there is the magic .
nikki also was told some hinted foreshadowings about things being non - linear :
i can' t seem to remember if it' s today, two days from now, or yesterday ,
and
evil was born .
i was deeply moved by the film but, like every novelist, couldn' t help feeling that my memories had been hijacked by someone else' s. as the battle of britain fighter ace douglas bader said when introduced to the cast of reach for the sky :
but they' re actors .

has always been that beane failed to win the world series (or any other post - season series, for that matter). this is where the film truly shines, in my opinion, as the drama is not so much whether the a' s will win the world series, but whether beane and brand’s crazy idea will work. the idea does work, as demonstrated in the chapter of the book called
the speed of the idea .
this chapter produced my favorite scene in the film. beane, after a remarkable season, is summoned to boston to meet with the new owner of the red sox, billionaire hedge fund manager
the first three quarters of the film was basically a flashback to explain events occurring before the opening scene. it was narrated (in voice - over) by the dogged and determined chief police inspector walter uhl (paul giamatti) to describe why he was arresting stage performer eisenheim (edward norton) (aka eduard abramovich) .
or they were for me, at least. thus far, the response to the film has been distinctly divided - if lynch' s last feature mulholland drive seemed to restore the warm consensus that surrounded him during the first series of twin peaks, inland empire has shattered it anew. (after the recent nft screening of the film, an event you might imagine to have been filled with happy - clappy lynch devotees, there were as many sceptics as zealots. my colleague xan brooks summed up the un - wowed school of thought when he told me he thought the movie resembled
the work of an old genius with alzheimer' s
) .
language is also memory; dementia brings a double silence. the struggle to make meaning and give shape to what is meaningless and shapeless lies at the heart of a remarkable meditation on dementia that was published in the uk in march. erwin mortier is a flemish writer, a poet and novelist. he watched his mother becoming lost to alzheimer’s, and out of the anguish came his stammered songbook, which is both an unsparing observation of her disintegration and an evocation of it. it is about the decaying body (ribcage and cavities, folds and membranes, lung tissue and the convolutions of the brain, a spat mouthful of porridge and a “handful of surfaces”) and also about the crumbling mind .
dr. newman :
simon, this is the 29th of july. the year is 2002. and your wife, whose name is anna, is waiting outside .
( the doctor left off four crucial additional words, revealed in the film' s ending .) (spoiler: simon had died and was not resuscitated! )

trillin followed up his sleepless in seattle performance with a role in another nora ephron film, michael (1996). as the sheriff who throws the eponymous archangel and his entourage in jail, trillin has a few lines, but he appears acutely conscious of the camera — and determined to turn away from it. how like a writer .
6. salman rushdie – then she found me (2007) in the film based on elinor lipman’s book of the same name, the author of the satanic verses and midnight’s children plays physician to a pregnant helen hunt. the film is filled with off - puttingly familiar mugs: matthew broderick, bette midler, colin firth. most distracting of all may be rushdie’s. he tries his best, but let’s face it: salman rushdie, fatwa survivor, ex - husband of padma lakshmi, plays an obstetrician who is not using enough gel while operating an ultrasound machine. disbelief has not been suspended if the audience * starts yelling, “use more gel, rushdie! use more gel! ”
the film revealed that the charming eisenheim and the serenely - beautiful duchess, who was increasingly reluctant to marry, had again reignited their love for each other during a secret love - making rendezvous. when the duchess determinedly told the drunken and jealous prince that she wouldn' t marry him and was leaving permanently, it appeared that she was murdered .
when it comes to the dream sequences and hallucinations, i couldn’t help but compare this to last week’s cult corner pick, satanic. in that review i specifically pointed out that the nightmare segments got repetitive, didn’t really offer any new information, and actively misled us rather than giving real hints towards the ending. thankfully, a lot of those issues aren’t present in memory. from a narrative perspective, they are done well. each one is totally different and shows us something new, while offering a trail of breadcrumbs to follow towards the inevitable twist. from the second that taylor’s bathroom flooded and he woke up in the middle of a lake with a masked killer staring at him from the shore i wanted to see where it was going .
director james mangold' s psychological thriller was similar to a popular concept of many plot twisters, a combination of fight club (1999) and agatha christie' s novel and then there were none, adapted into many film versions. in the familiar thematic plot, a group of individuals in a remote location were being killed off, one by one .
the film ended ambiguously, however. as cobb tested out his top' s spinning on a table top, to see whether it would topple or not (and to find out whether he was dreaming or not), the screen turned to black. what was clear was that cobb walked away from the top in order to be with his children.
