Nine years ago, Shane Carruth won Sundance’s Grand Jury Prize for , a complex science fiction tale about the ramifications of time travel. Famously filmed on a $7,000 budget, went on to gain a cult following for its incredibly strong and incredibly twisty plot (spoiler: this is as close as you can get to understanding it all ). is only Carruth’s second film, shot on a decidedly larger budget and coming to theaters in April (it debuted this week at Sundance). Think of it as Terrence Malick-meets-Trent Reznor: abstract, brooding, moody, at times graphic.
Shane Carruth’s ‘Upstream Color’ is a trippy, sci-fi take on the forces that bind us together

Aki Kaurismäki: The Uncut Interview | Film Comment | Film Society of Lincoln Center
print Finland’s master of bleak comedy opts for fairy-tale optimism in Le Havre Written by Peter von Bagh Chance unites two people as low in the social hierarchy as it gets: French shoeshiner Marcel Marx (André Wilms) and African immigrant boy Idrissa (Blondin Miguel).
Aki Kaurismäki sits in his heavy black coat, grimacing. The miserabilist's miserabilist is looking more miserable than it is possible to imagine. I have been told it is best to interview him first thing in the morning, because he starts to drink after that.

Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images David Cronenberg, right, with Robert Pattinson at the premiere of “Cosmopolis” at the Cannes Film Festival. CANNES, France — The Canadian director David Cronenberg has a long and eventful history at the Cannes Film Festival: he has competed for the Palme d’Or three times and was awarded a lifetime achievement prize in 2006.

Francois Mori/Associated Press The director Ulrich Seidl on Friday at a press conference at the Cannes International Film Festival. CANNES, France — The Austrian director Ulrich Seidl makes a habit of blurring boundaries: his work encompasses fiction (“ Dog Days ”) and nonfiction (“ Animal Love ”), and he typically works with nonprofessional actors using documentary-like settings and improvisatory techniques.

Mr. Seidl tends to be condemned as a misanthrope who goes to unseemly lengths to prove the depths of human misery or hailed as a maestro of discomfort whose taste for confrontation masks a seriousness of purpose and a measure of compassion.

“We go from an age when we say ‘My life will be that’, to an age when we say ‘That’s life’.” Both in terms of direction and performance, there’s a lot to admire in filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino’s problematic fifth feature This Must Be The Place , the first made outside of his native Italy. He’s a director with brilliant visual sensibilities, his sense of composition and movement within his frame eliciting comparisons to Martin Scorsese, particularly given his strengths with music to underscore his consistently exquisite images.Τι κάνει κάποιον αξιοσημείωτο; Ποιές ζωές δικαιώνονται; Πότε; Και πώς; Αξιοσημείωτοι άνθρωποι απ’ όλον τον κόσμο –παρόλο που οι ίδιοι δεν ξέρουν ότι είναι αξιοσημείωτοι - γίνονται παραδείγματα και δίνουν οδηγίες επιβίωσης σε όσους πασχίζουν καθημερινά να βρούν (ανακαλύψουν) το πραγματικό νόημα του βίου.
