Some 600 French art and entertainment world figures have signed a “counter-petition” decrying moves to defend iconic actor Gérard Depardieu in the face of multiple accusations of sexual assault and one of rape.
The petition described a recent open letter in support of Depardieu, signed by 56 cinema world celebrities, and French President Emmanuel Macron’s public defense of the actor on a talkshow before Christmas as a slap in the face for all victims of sexual violence.
“It is the sinister and perfect illustration of the world which refuses to let things change,” read the letter posted on the site of investigative news website Mediapart on Friday.
“It is the reversal of roles where the executioner places himself as a victim, with the help of his friends. As always in cases of gender-based and sexual violence against women, the ‘presumption...

Father Knows Best: Garrel’s Family Affair Flounders in Banality
Although co-credited to the late, great Jean-Claude Carrière and starring a whole gaggle of the Garrel clan, Le grand chariot (The Plough) might be Philippe Garrel’s greatest misfire, an imploding star in his own constellation of cinematic offerings (seeing as it’s title references the star pattern known in the US as The Big Dipper). Also scripted by his spouse, Caroline Deruas-Garrel, this three-generational saga about a group of old school puppeteers is a shoddily assembled affair detached from any real semblance of reality.
Painstakingly sluggish and littered with hollow characterizations strung together as chintzily as a popcorn garland on a trash heaped Christmas tree, Garrel ploughs through his own standard motifs regarding starving artists chasing their dreams while incestuously exchanging bedfellows.…...

French director Philippe Garrel has always only needed the barest means to make movie magic: a beautiful, tragic face, a sad wall to put behind it, a mournful, pensive walk alone on the street. His latest film premiered last year in Cannes at the Directors’ Fortnight; having first shown his work there in 1969 with Le lit de la vierge, Garrel once again proves he is nearly alone in continuing the French New Wave’s revolution of creating celluloid myths from mere bedrooms and cafes. This new film, Lover for a Day is one of his most simple, a lithe, splendid picture dazzling in its clarity, direct emotional resonance and condensed storytelling. The set-up, co-written with Garrel’s partner Caroline Deruas-Garrel and his usual writer Arlette Langmann along with Jean-Claude Carrière, is inspired: A young woman, Jeanne breaks up with her boyfriend and must stay at the flat of his father,...

Usually one doesn’t think of seeing a “best film of the year” contender in what is usually the dumping ground known as January and February. However, distributor Distrib Films and director Philippe Garrel have tossed into theaters not only one of last year’s festival darlings but an early contender for the film of the year for 2015. Those unfamiliar with Garrel may find the black and white photography, pretentious-sounding title and hefty festival pedigree as a calling card for a film that’s more style than substance, but In The Shadow Of Women is a triumph of both direction and narrative nuance.
Women tells the story of documentarians Pierre (Stanislas Merhar) and Manon (Clotilde Courau), a husband and wife creative team that crafts shoestring-budget documentaries financed by a series of random jobs that both take on. However, the relationship faces its latest and greatest test when Pierre meets and...

Philippe Garrel, known for making films about deeply self-reflexive romantic entanglements since the late 60s, is at it again with In the Shadows of Women. Infidelity, art, improvisation, one-take scenes, shot in monochrome on film and natural settings have been Garrel's Mo and although his new film certainly encompasses all those elements, it seems much more concise and less ambiguous and melancholic than his other films, thanks to its script.What's different here is his emphasis on looking at love and romance from a female perspective. Famed screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière (Discreet Charm of Bourgeoisie, Tin Drum, Every Man for Himself, Birth) joined in with Garrel's regular writing partners -- Caroline Deruas and Arlette Langman -- to write a script that represents the female point of view,...

Distrib Films Us, which releases high-quality French indie films stateside, has acquired all Us rights to Philippe Garrel's romantic drama "In the Shadow of Women," which opens the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes.

The 66 year old filmmaker makes his 25th feature this year, and the past decade has been one of his most active yet, perhaps due to the rising international of his son, actor Louis Garrel, who has starred in several of his father’s features. 2013’s Jealousy took a while to come to the Us, but he’s a name that’s been able to garner international distribution successfully. With The Shadow Women (L’ombre des femmes), this will be the first feature that won’t include his son in the cast since 2001’s Wild Innocence, and one should note that Jean-Claude Carriere, favored screenwriter of Luis Bunuel (including a filmography that includes many other auteurs), is part of the mix.

In this weekend’s specialty box-office debuts, IFC Films hopes to replicate the critical and commercial success of Michael Winterbottom’s first amusing little travelogue/talker of a feature, The Trip, with a semi-sequel, The Trip To Italy. The second Trip again stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon; the entertainingly garrulous pair on yet another jaunt across restaurants, countryside and philosophy. The latest Trip will bow in NYC and La this weekend after a successful Australian run earlier this summer (or their winter).

New Directors/New Films offers New Yorkers a busy weekend, introducing five features on Saturday and filling Sunday with repeat screenings of several of the first week's offerings. Tomorrow begins in the early afternoon with a program of seven shorts, opening with Clarissa Knoll's Street Vendor Cinema, featuring "energetic auteur practicing his art — and trying to hustle a little cash — in a busy São Paulo shopping area." Ao Scott in the New York Times: "Equipped with a small digital camera, a few crude costumes and a scroll of ready-made backdrops, he invites passers-by to spend a little bit of money to produce and star in their own movies. The results are an exuberant hodgepodge of genres, including an action thriller, a samurai fantasy epic and an astonishing melodrama of race, passion and family honor set on a 19th-century plantation."

We've got what appears to be screen caps for Philippe Garrel's That Summer (Un Été Brûlant) (which was in our Top 100 Most Anticipated List at #73) and which would by all logic, will be ready and preem in for Cannes this May. The pic stars Louis Garrel (who I recently saw in Ferdinando Cito Filomarino's excellent short film Diarchy, alongside Riccardo Scamarcio and Alba Rohrwacher), Monica Bellucci and Céline Sallette (last pic below). Co-written by Garrel, Marc Chodolenko and Caroline Deruas, Un Été Brûlant recounts the torments of a painter whose actress wife has left him. It begins on a hot summer's night, a sports car crashes headlong into a tree. The previous year... Paul meets the painter Frédéric through a mutual friend. Frédéric lives in Italy with Angèle, the actress with whom he is deeply in love. While working as an extra, Paul befriends an assistant - Roland and falls in love with Elisabeth,...

I guess Louis Garrel has a lot to be thankful for. Not only has his father paved the way for the actor (some might argue that Christophe Honoré has done a better job) but he is also hooking up his son for an onscreen tragi-romance with the curvaceous Monica Bellucci. While I can already hear the post Cannes press screening hissing sounds on this one, I think this might be an easier sell for the New Wave auteur who has a reputation for making difficult, often inaccessible films for even the most committed art-house patrons. Rome and Paris will be the prominent backdrops for Philippe Garrel's latest piece - a relationship drama co-written by the Garrel, Marc Chodolenko and Caroline Deruas, that recounts the torments of a painter whose actress wife has left him and the film will open with the suicide of the male protagonist in a car...
