essence of film: Station Humiliation:

“Chahine’s strength, ever since Cairo Station, has been the ability to look at, with the same eye, equal curiosity and warmth, typical persons and marginal characters, small details, and the grand turmoil of history and politics, all this merged into dramaturgy and montage, both of which are…

Can’t decide whether the hilariosity outshines the swoon-worthiness. But still, I love these mini erotic moments in kdramas!

Imagine a Woody Allen film with jazz music. That would be amazing.

I wish Wes Anderson would make a movie about quirky people.

You know what I’d love to see from Scorsese? A movie about guilt. That just seems right up his alley.

Benicio Del Toro in Jimmy Picard.

Arnaud Desplechin's next film to star Benicio Del Toro and Mathieu Amalric.:

bartonfinks:

In what could be seen as a sort of seasonal and spiritual companion piece to Olivier Assayas’ 2008 film “Summer Hours,” director Arnaud Desplechin’s film “A Christmas Tale” quietly dazzled with its warm infusion of family dynamics and melancholic themes of aging and forgiveness. Sadly, not much has been heard from Desplechin since that film’s release, but recently news of his latest project has materialized, along with main casting of another actor out of the spotlight for some time as well.

After first announcing plans around his last film’s release, Desplechin has finally confirmed he will direct the historical drama “Jimmy Picard” which will also claim Benicio del Toro in the titular lead role, according to Deadline. The film is adapted from the 1951 non-fiction account by psychoanalyst Georges Devereux, “Psychotherapy Of A Plains Indian,” and will follow the true story of Picard, a Plains Indian of the Blackfeet nation, as he returns from WWII and begins experiencing unexplainable medical symptoms shortly thereafter. He then travels to the famous Winter Hospital in Topeka, Kansas, where he meets Devereux (played by Mathieu Amalric, who also starred in “A Christmas Tale”), thus beginning a professional and personal friendship guided by compassion and understanding of Native American culture. Gina McKee (“The Borgias”) will also star in the film, which is being backed by Why Not Productions (“Un Prophète”).

Del Toro has been slowly preparing a return to the big screen since the disappointment that was “The Wolfman,” and from starring in Oliver Stone’s “Savages,” directing a segment of the anthology feature, “7 Days in Havana,” or just hob-nobbing with Terrence Malick, he certainly seems to be resurfacing in style. Never a stranger to unique projects though, the idea of Desplechin directing both him and Amalric in a compelling story such as “Jimmy Picard” sounds fantastic, and you can be sure both actors will bring their A-game to the table.

It seems we’ll see soon nonetheless, as principal photography on “Jimmy Picard” is set to begin Wednesday in Michigan.

Desplechin is, for my money, one of the absolute best directors working right now. I’m really excited to see him back behind the camera after a several year absence, and the teaming of him and Amalric has produced several of my all-time favorite performances. Putting them together, along with Del Toro in the lead (so excited for his hopeful return to major cinema), would produce something that would rank high on my most anticipated list, no matter what else was happening with the film. I’m very eager for this.
