Flaming Cloud is screening at New York Asian Film Festival
In a story that seems to combine Disney fairy tales and Chinese Folklore, “Flaming Cloud” opens in a casino above the clouds, where a number of deities wager on the lives of mortals to pass the time. Although the bets seem innocent for the most part, the appearance of a newcomer, who is willing to bet on the existence of true love,...

Dimitri de Clercq on You Go To My Head: “A lot of the scenes are shot at the Malick hour, dawn or dusk.”
Delfine Bafort and Svetozar Cvetkovic star in Dimitri de Clercq’s quietly disturbing, beautifully framed You Go To My Head, shot by Stijn Grupping in Morocco.

Kool Shen as Vilko and Isabelle Huppert as Maud: 'He is a swindler but not violent.' When I met Catherine Breillat for breakfast the morning after her New York Film Festival Us premiere of Abuse Of Weakness (Abus De Faiblesse) at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Nougatine on Central Park West, it had been a dozen years since we last spoke. This time we discussed how to twist Isabelle Huppert's arms, Bad Love in a lighthouse with Naomi Campbell, colours, numbers, and clocks.
Maud (Isabelle Huppert) sees a man being interviewed in a talk show on TV and can't take her eyes off him. She wants to cast this man, Vilko Piran (Kool Shen), in her next film. With Abuse Of Weakness, Breillat follows up brilliantly on the fairy tale promises of her previous two films after her stroke, The Sleeping Beauty (La Belle Endormie, 2010) and Bluebeard (Barbe Bleue, 2009). A sleeping beauty,...

Like many other great directors, Catherine Breillat returns repeatedly to the same themes and subject matter. But her followers know that she likes to throw curveballs, and her latest, The Sleeping Beauty (La belle endormie), is one of her biggest surprises. Breillat plans a trilogy of fairy tales, and the film that started the series, 2009's Blue Beard (Barbe Bleue), stuck reasonably close to genre, providing a good opportunity to assess her filmmaking personality against the backdrop of a traditional story. I expected the same of The Sleeping Beauty, but the game has changed radically. This time, Breillat is not content to refract the fairy tale through the prism of her temperament: instead, she uses the pretext of children's storytelling as camouflage to enable one of her most daring leaps into abstraction.
In retrospect, the first clue that Breillat is after bigger game is that, whereas Blue Beard maintains a...

Apart from the classic auteurs in the Special Presentations section, the 39th Festival du nouveau cinéma will be filled to the gills in new works from across the globe. I view the extremely popular film festival as sort of a B-side for film festival circuit items that generally find a spot in a major film fest such as Cannes and afterwards would normally fall through the cracks. Think the Nyff's much wilder, Canadian cousin. Over 295 films - this includes shorts, fiction and documentary, animation, retrospectives, tributes, professional panels, outdoor interactive installations, the festival which takes place between the 13th to the 24th of October, furiously promotes not only world talent, but local French Canadian filmmakers. Among the notable titles, we have Michelangelo Frammartino's Le Quattro volte, Olivier Assayas' Carlos and Alex de la Iglesia's The Last Circus and Wang Bing will be in town for a Master Class for Venice-winning The Ditch.
