Studiocanal rolled out the red carpet at the Unifrance Paris Rendez-vous this week for actor Gilles Lellouche’s upcoming feature film Beating Hearts (L’Amour Ouf).
First images for the unconventional romance played on the big screen to two packed-out screenings at the swanky Royal Monceau hotel off the Champs-Elysées on Thursday evening.
The modern Romeo and Juliet tale co-stars François Civil, who is currently riding high on the back of his D’Artagnan role in Pathé’s Three Musketeers reboot, and Adèle Exarchopoulos as former childhood sweethearts from different sides of the tracks.
Having gone their separate ways when the boy gets caught up in gang violence and lands in jail on trumped-up murder charges, the pair reconnect against the odds years later.
The picture is adapted from Irish writer Neville Thompson’s 1997 novel Jackie Loves Johnser Ok? unfolding against the backdrop of Dublin’s tough suburb of Ballyfermot in the...

On the surface, there’s very little about either Open Your Eyes or Vanilla Sky that screams Erotic Thriller. Both Alejandro Amenábar’s 1997 Spanish original and Cameron Crowe’s 2001 American remake are frequently classified as psychological thrillers, or even dramas, due to their interest in exploring the downward spiral of the main character.
And yet, upon closer examination, both films owe a heavy debt to the tropes of the Erotic Thriller.
As we’ve previously explored in this editorial series, Erotic Thrillers embody the characteristics of Film Noir, albeit with a more contemporary perspective when it comes to sex and violence. There’s often a healthy dose of voyeurism and fetishism, typically embodied in doubles of characters (usually women). And, naturally, sex and death become intertwined as the desires of characters tend to result in dangerous consequences.
Nearly all of these elements are present in Open Your Eyes and Vanilla Sky.

Amber Heard (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane) returns to the horror genre in the upcoming In the Fire, which Saban Films brings to theaters, On Demand and Digital in October.
In the Fire will be available in theaters and at home on Friday, October 13.
The film has been rated “R” for…
“Some violent content and brief sexuality.”
Rotten Tomatoes previews, “Amber Heard stars as a doctor who travels to a remote plantation to treat a young boy who demonstrates unusual abilities.

The 69th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily saw the world premiere Saturday of the paranormal psychological thriller “In the Fire,” which marks the return to the big screen of Amber Heard following two highly publicized trials involving her former husband Johnny Depp.
On the turquoise carpet, Heard greeted a crowd of fans — accompanied by paparazzi and tourists — who shouted words of encouragement at the “Aquaman” star.
The producers and festival organizers had worried about possible demonstrations by Depp supporters. Producer Pascal Borno told Variety he had to persuade the Italian police to provide extra security after receiving online threats. “They took it seriously and afterwards I promised them selfies with Amber,” he said.
Despite the initial trepidation, the atmosphere of the crowd was one of the usual celebrity-adjacent excitement. One family visiting from New York remarked to Variety that they thought Heard was “gutsy.”
“I was relieved to see how they shouted for her.

"Aquaman" actor Amber Heard returned to the red carpet one year after her and ex-husband Johnny Depp's defamation trial came to an end. On June 23, Heard promoted her upcoming film "In the Fire" at the Taormina Film Festival in Italy.
Heard was all smiles as she walked the red carpet (which was technically teal) wearing a long, black gown that was accentuated with a cape at the shoulders. The actor wore her blond hair down and in curly ringlets. In photos from the event, Heard can be seen laughing with her costars, including Luca Calvani and Eduardo Noriega, and with the movie's director, Conor Allyn. She also appeared in photos with William "Billy" Baldwin, who attended the festival to promote his animated feature "Billie's Magic World" and stopped to sign autographs for fans.

Amber Heard has been easing back into official public life gently at Italy’s Taormina Film Festival over the past few days, accompanying the world premiere of her new film In The Fire by Conor Allyn.
Heard stars as an American psychiatrist who travels to a remote plantation in Colombia in the 1890s to treat a disturbed boy and finds herself in a war of science versus religion with the local priest who believes the child is possessed by the devil.
The actress took to the stage ahead of the world premiere against the backdrop of Taormina’s ancient Greek amphitheatre on Saturday evening with Allyn and cast members Eduardo Noriega and Luca Calvani, in her first such appearance since Gully at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019.

Once again, the caprices of the Netflix algorithm have somehow unearthed a little talked-about near-bomb from a decade ago and pushed it right to the top of the streaming service's popularity charts. In mid-April of 2023, the Kim Jee-woon action flick "The Last Stand" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Johnny Knoxville was Netflix's #1 movie. In this case, it is a minor work of justice, as "The Last Stand" was actually a pretty good movie. It was bright, upbeat, enjoyably violent, and boasted a fun cast of notable supporting players, including the inimitable Luis Guzmán, Jaime Alexander, and Rodrigo Santoro. Forest Whitaker played an FBI guy. The film was a modest critical success (it boasts a 61% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes), but only made $43 million at the worldwide box office. It passed from the public consciousness pretty quickly after that.
"The Last Stand" was, of course, meant to be something of a comeback for Schwarzenegger.

Cesc Gay’s “The People Upstairs” (a.k.a. “Sentimental”), Nacho Álvarez’s feature debut “My Heart Goes Boom! (“Explota Explota”) and the series “Ines of My Soul” (“Inés del alma mía”), based on the book of the same name by Isabel Allende, will have their world premieres at the San Sebastian film festival in September.
All three are galas from Radio Televisión Española (Rtve), official sponsor of the festival.
Spain’s Gay had a hit with “Truman,” starring Ricardo Darin (“The Secret in Their Eyes”) and Javier Cámara (“Talk to Her”). The film world premiered at San Sebastian in 2015, won best actor for Darin and Camara, and went on to carve out sizeable box office in and outside Spain.
“The People Upstairs,” starring Camara, Belen Cuesta, Griselda Siciliani and Alberto San Juan, is the adaptation of a play by Gay himself, where a meeting between two neighboring couples ends in an emotional tsunami.

Paris and Los Angeles-based Federation Entertainment has acquired the TV format and remake rights to Alejandro Amenábar’s debut feature, “Thesis.” It’s a prime example of the value of key older movie titles from standout younger foreign-language auteurs.
Producer of “The Bureau,” “Marseille,” “Bad Banks” and “Hostages,” Federation Entertainment will produce a drama series based on the film along with Raphaël Rocher at Empreinte Digitale, a company with a strong line in genre and sci-fi which produced “Missions,” a TV Critics Award winner at the 2017 MipDrama Screenings.
Federation Entertainment’s Lionel Uzan is understood to have clinched the remake rights in a competitive bidding situation from Guido Rud’s FilmSharks-owned the Remake Co. and Enrique Cerezo’s Video Mercury.
The move opens up a whole new front for rights-holders to exploit the commercial and artistic value of past movies. Further movie-to-series deals in the Spanish-speaking world look set to...

Telemundo has unveiled its latest slate of 900 hours of original content including a new drug lord drama starring Majida Issa and Mark Tacher.
NBCUniversal’s Hispanic network is launching a slew of new shows and renewals, including an update on its adaptation of gameshow The Wall, ahead of NBCU’s Upfront presentation on Monday.
This marks its first slate since the departure of president Luis Silberwasser.
Operación Pacífico is the broadcaster’s latest Super Series, a slate of action-orientated telenovelas that have reinvented the genre with shorter runs. The show is inspired by the true story of federal agent Amalia Ortega.
Elsewhere, it has renewed El Señor de los Cielos for a seventh season and is launching limited series No Te Puedes Esconder. In reality, it is “recharging” shows including The Voice (La Voz) and Exatlon as well as premiering The Wall.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Monday a record-breaking number of new member invitees that puts the organization on track to reach its 2016 goals of doubling the number of non-white and female members.
Some of the 928 invitees were quite curious, either because it was surprising they weren’t already members — or that the Academy would even think to induct them.
Consider French-born filmmaker Michel Gondry, who won an Oscar for co-writing his 2004 film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” but somehow never snagged an invite from the Academy until now.

Or Jonathan Nolan, who earned a nomination with his brother Christopher for 2000’s “Memento,” but has been passed over all these years despite his acclaimed scripts for “The Dark Knight,” “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Interstellar.”
Then there’s “Harry Potter” creator J.K. Rowling.

The Devil's BackboneIt's no insult to say that a horror movie is more poignant than scary, at least not when the director is Guillermo Del Toro. That's the main takeaway from his 2001 cult classic The Devil's Backbone, a ghost story set at a haunted orphanage during the Spanish Civil War, and a film that spends so much more time on the lives of its ensemble than on trying to scare us that it testifies to either the inadequacy or the versatility of the "horror" label. It is the kind of horror that wants us not to be afraid of things that go bump in the night. And of its many moments of tenderness, one of the best goes to its villain: Jacinto (Eduardo Noriega), a young man who, having been raised at the orphanage and then kept on as its groundskeeper, storms the place with a plan to relieve it...

"A beast, fulfill a woman like me?" Shout has premiered the official Us trailer for the upcoming release of Christophe Gans' version of Beauty and the Beast, which was released in most of Europe back in 2014, but is just now arriving in the Us. Disney is preparing its own live-action take on the classic story next year (see the first teaser trailer here), but this one is much more fantastical and gothic in its approach. French actress Léa Seydoux stars as Belle, and Vincent Cassel plays the Beast, in this very French take on the classic story. The cast includes André Dussollier, Eduardo Noriega, Myriam Charleins and Audrey Lamy. As much as I'm happy to see a new film by Christophe Gans, this looks filled with way too much CGI and excessively colorful imagery that makes me disinterested. Maybe it's better to wait for Disney's version. Here's the new...

Hell's Kitchen: Soul stew image likely from the 1922 Benjamin Christensen horror classic 'Häxan / Witchcraft Through the Ages.' Day of the Dead post: Cinema's Top Five Scariest Living Dead We should all be eternally grateful to the pagans, who had the foresight to come up with many (most?) of the overworked Western world's religious holidays. Thanks to them, besides Easter, Christmas, New Year's, and possibly Mardi Gras (a holiday in some countries), we also have Halloween, All Saints' Day, and the Day of Dead. The latter two are public holidays in a number of countries with large Catholic populations. Since today marks the end of the annual Halloween / All Saints' Day / Day of the Dead celebrations, I'm posting my revised and expanded list of the movies' Top Five Scariest Living Dead. Of course, by that I don't mean the actors listed below were dead when the movies were made.

After signing an open letter denouncing Israeli military action in Gaza, Javier Bardem has clarified his position, writing that his endorsement of the letter was a call for peace. The open letter, which surfaced in multiple Spanish media outlets earlier this week, was signed by a number of artists, including Penelope Cruz, Pedro Almodovar and Eduardo Noriega. The letter, entitled "Comunicado de la Cultura Contra el Genocidio Palestino," deemed Israel's operation in Gaza to be a "genocide" against Palestinians. Bardem, through his representative, released a four-paragraph statement on Thursday. "While I was critical of the Israeli military response, I

Nevertheless, the 2013 blockbuster season should, in theory, have marked a fresh start for Disney, as it spent a reported $150m on marketing The Lone Ranger.

We've got a new trailer for the January Jones and Ed Harris western Sweetwater for you to check out! I think this looks like a great flick, but then I think I like westerns a little more than most people. The film is set in 1886, and the story follows a young widow who risks everything to avenge her husband’s murder at the hands of a brutal sheep rancher.
This is a very different role for Jones, but I think it looks better than most of the roles she's been involved with. The movie premiered at Sundance earlier this year, and unfortunately I missed it. Here's the synopsis,
Sarah, a former prostitute living on the New Mexico plains with her husband Miguel (Eduardo Noriega), who are both having to deal with overbearing landowner and religious fanatic Prophet Josiah (Jason Isaacs). When Josiah has Miguel killed, Sarah takes the law into...

Did you know that Hulu has a Latino channel? Not only is it a place to catch up on your favorite novelas like "La Seleccion", or English-language TV shows like "The Bridge" but it also houses a decent collection of indie Latino films. We combed through the selections and here are LatinoBuzz's top picks of Latino films to watch for free on Hulu.
P.S. There are a ton of movies on there, so look out for more picks in the weeks to come!
Love, Concord
Gus Guardado is a high school video production teacher who always dreamed of making a film. He wrote a script, set in his hometown of Concord, California and loosely based on his own life. It took a couple of years to put together enough money to shoot his indie rom-com but he was determined to make it happen. Thanks to Guardado, Love, Concord is the first film ever set in the San Francisco suburb. It's a teenage love story much like the classic eighties movies that John Hughes is famous for. And just like in Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink it's an honest, authentic portrayal of teenagers. In the film, Gerry (Jorge Diaz) is in his Junior year of high school. He's a class clown willing to do anything for a laugh but totally clueless when it comes to the ladies. He plays basketball, old school video games, and asks everyone for advice on how to win over girls. Finally, he decides to just be himself and it works. He charms Melinda (Angelina Leon), a cute nerdy girl who isn't afraid to fire back her own sarcastic remarks when Gerry pokes fun at her. It's a funny, cute, witty teen romance where the characters just happen to be Latino and refreshingly, none of them are gangbangers, drug dealers, or end up pregnant. It might just be the Latino Say Anything.
Infancia clandestina (Clandestine Childhood)
Infancia clandestina (Clandestine Childhood) draws from the director's own life experience in Argentina. Benjamin Avila's story takes place in the late ‘70s when a military junta was in power and carried out a dirty war, targeting leftists. Young Juan and his family have been living in Cuba, in exile, because of his parent's involvement with Montoneros, a group of leftist guerillas. His parents decide to return to Argentina with their other comrades to fight against the dictatorship. They enter the country under assumed identities with fake passports—Juan's new name is Ernesto. His family is always under threat of being found out, they are in a constant state of fear. Then at his new school he meets Maria, develops a crush, and everything changes. The film won ten awards at the Premios Sur, Argentina's equivalent of the Oscars and was their official entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Alamar
In an effort to create an intimate environment for his, Alamar, Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio wrote, directed, shot, and edited the picture himself. Set in a small house on stilts that sits above the crystal-clear blue waters of the Yucatan Peninsula, it explores the bond between a father and son as they share a fishing trip together. In this documentary, five year-old Natan travels from Italy to spend time with his long-haired father in Mexico who lives along the edge of the coral reefs on Banco Chinchorro. His dad, a Mexi-hippie who fishes by diving into the water with a spear in hand, exposes him to the beauty that sits below the surface of the crisp blue ocean. They spend their days catching fish, gutting them, cooking them, and eating them. They chase birds and try to avoid the alligator that sometimes comes around. They enjoy each other's company in a world that is far removed from everyday conveniences and distractions. It's a quiet and tender film that takes you to a faraway place–time slows down and the days blend into each other. You are transported–gently swaying in a hammock, listening to an old radio and the seagulls flying overhead. It's like a relaxing vacation from the typical super-hero, shoot ‘em up, explosion-filled Hollywood films. Like all vacations, you need to take a deep breath, relax, and force yourself to slow-down–you might resist at first but soon enough you'll enjoy it's calm, tranquil pace.
Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes)
Even if you've never heard of Abre los Ojos, you've probably seen the mediocre American remake, Vanilla Sky, starring Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, and (the semi-Latina) Cameron Diaz. The Spanish original is so much better. Cesar (Eduardo Noriega), is a rich, handsome playboy (what a stretch!) who romances multiple ladies, including his best friend's girlfriend (Penelope Cruz). His double-crossing ways come back to bite him in the ass, when a jealous, scorned lover takes him for a ride (literally) and purposely crashes her car with both of them in it. The rest of the film is a magical dreamscape of puzzling scenarios. Every other scene you are left wondering what's actually real. Did he survive the crash? Was it a nightmare, a figment of his imagination, or just a tragic accident? Did his night of love with Penelope Cruz actually happen? And why is she always she dressed as a mime? This noir sci-fi thriller will confuse you, take twists and turns, and leave you completely entranced.

Logan Miller’s “Sweetwater” (titled “Sweet Vengeance” in the credits, though it carries the first title at Fantasia) is an idiosyncratic western with a decidedly contemporary sensibility, merging a stoic approach to violence with an off-kilter, nearly Monty Python sensibility. It’s an unusual fit, but an intriguing one, and despite the silence of the film’s leisurely-paced scenes of dialogue, there’s never truly a dull moment. Miller has a fantastic cast to thank for that luxury. The central conflict involves a minor land dispute between a couple (Eduardo Noriega, January Jones) and the neighboring, cult-ish priest (a delicious Jason Isaacs) who believes in cleansing his holy land with the blood of blasphemers. When the pontificating pastor puts a bullet in Miguel (Noriega), its ex-prostitute Sarah (Jones) who opts for revenge, just as the town begins discussing this flamboyant, porcelain beauty with a fiery temper. At the same time,...
