I was sent a script with a Jonathan Glazer attached, called “Sexy Beast”. It was on a Friday night, and I read it over the weekend. The screenplay was brilliant, and on the Monday I bought it before anyone else could.

Polish filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski, whose sixty-year career in cinema has included the highest honors of the Berlin, Venice and Cannes film festivals, received an invitation to attend China’s Shanghai International Film Festival earlier this year while he was in Los Angeles for the Academy Awards, where his latest movie, Eo, was nominated for an Oscar. Skolimowski says he accepted the surprise invite — which included serving as Shanghai’s jury president for the festival’s 30th-anniversary edition — for reasons both “very private and a little sentimental.”
Skolimowski, 85, revealed those reasons on stage Friday at the Shanghai Grand Theater, during the festival’s opening ceremony.
“My father was born in North East China over 100 years ago, where my grandfather, the famous Polish architect, Kazimierz Skolimowski, devoted himself to designing the urban plan for one of the great cities 1,000 kilometers from here,” Skolimowski said during his brief remarks before the mostly Chinese crowd.

Cannes sensation “Eo,” which tells the story of a donkey’s life, has been acquired for North America by Sideshow and Janus Films. The film is the latest collaboration for the U.S. distribution duo that brought this year’s best international feature Oscar winner, “Drive My Car,” to audiences Stateside.
Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski, “Eo” shared the Cannes Jury Prize with Félix Van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch’s “The Eight Mountains.”
The film, a word-of-mouth hit on the Croisette, shares a vision of modern Europe through the prism of a gray donkey, who meets all sorts of people on his life’s path, experiences joy and pain, as well as disasters and unexpected bliss — all without losing his beautiful innocence. Upon accepting the Jury Prize in Cannes, Polish director Skolimowski thanked “all six” of his donkeys.

One of many good things to be said about “Eo,” surely the wackiest movie in competition at Cannes this year, is that you would have no idea it was made by an 84-year-old filmmaker in only his fourth movie since the fall of the Soviet Union. A master of the aesthetically liberated New Polish Cinema — fellow alum include Krzysztof Kieślowski, Agnieszka Holland, and Krzysztof Zanussi — Jerzy Skolimowski last won plaudits on the Croisette in the late ’70s and early ’80s for a string of British-made dramas starring the likes of John Hurt and Jeremy Irons. Horror film “The Shout,” with Alan Bates, took the Grand Prix jury prize in 1978. “Moonlighting,” in 1982, won best screenplay here. New York Times critic Vincent Canby called it “one of the best films ever made about exile.”
“Eo” is not like any of those, even if it does have something to say about exile.

“Get out of here Anthony, or I’ll shout your bloody ears off!”
Director Jerzy Skolimowski’s The Shout (1978) starring Alan Bates, Susannah York, and John Hurt screens Saturday, November 2nd at Webster University’s Moor Auditorium (470 E Lockwood Ave) at 7:30pm. A Facebook invite for the film can be found Here
Esteemed film critic Dave Kehr once described The Shout as “a trance thriller that beats Peter Weir on his own turf.” This surrealist horror film, winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes upon its 1978 premiere, is told in flashback over the course of a cricket match taking place at a mental hospital. The narrator of these flashbacks is Charles Crossley (Alan Bates), previously a resident among Australian aborigines, who, alongside other skills, managed to pick up the ability to cut loose with a shout so extreme that it kills all who hear it.

“I will miss him forever. I had a 10-year lesson from him about everything,” said Thomas, speaking from Rome this weekend. “He was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, director I worked with and he left a legacy of magnificent films.”

In “Mandy,” Nicolas Cage sits at the center of a hypnotic cinematic experience that’s equal parts deranged revenge story and abstract study of grief. Director Panos Cosmatos’ follow-up to “Beyond the Black Rainbow” stars Cage as Red Miller, who lives an isolated existence in the wilderness until the demented cult leader Jeremiah Sand (Linus Roache) shows up and destroys Red’s life. The second half of the movie finds Cage taking on Red and his goons with a series of weapons — an ax and a chainsaw both get their due — while delivering a wild, kooky performance that ranks as one of his most memorable in ages.
Cage knows that most people will lump “Mandy” in with any number of the extreme, genre-based roles that he’s tackled over the years, but has long felt that these decisions reflect a cogent philosophy. In the following interview, he explained his frustrations...

Above: UK one sheet for The Shout (Jerzy Skolimowski, UK, 1978)One of the greatest but perhaps less heralded of British actors, Sir Alan Bates (1934-2003) is being deservedly feted over the next week at the Quad Cinema in New York with the retrospective series Alan Bates: The Affable Angry Young Man. The title makes sense: before he had acted on film Bates was in the original West End and Broadway productions of Look Back in Anger, but he played not the disaffected anti-hero Jimmy Porter, made famous on film by Richard Burton, but the amiable Welsh lodger Cliff. Though a performer of great virility, intelligence and passion, he often played second fiddle to his more demonstrative co-stars—whether Anthony Quinn in Zorba the Greek (1964), Lynn Redgrave in Georgy Girl (1966), Julie Christie in Far From the Madding Crowd (1967) and The Go-Between (1971), or Jill Clayburgh in An Unmarried Woman (1978).

The 73rd Venice International Film Festival will award its Golden Lion awards for lifetime achievement to French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo and Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski.
The festival noted that it plans to start awarding two Golden Lions for career achievement at each edition of the festival, starting this year. One will be to a director and one to an actor.
Belmondo is well known for films such as Breathless, Pierrot le Fou (which competed in Venice in 1965), Hit Man, That Man From Rio and The Professional.
Venice festival director Alberto Barbera said: “Thanks to his fascinating face, irresistible charm and extraordinary versatility, he has played roles in dramas, adventure movies and even comedies, making him a star who is universally respected, by engagé directors and escapist cinema alike.”
Skolimowski has enjoyed a 50-year career including his early Polish trilogy of Rysopis, Walkover and Barrier; The Departure; Deep End; The Shout; Moonlighting and Essential Killing (which won a special...

Iceland’s Gunnar Jonsson gets a special mention; Jerzy Skolimowski [pictured] is honoured as Motovun Maverick.
The 18thedition of Croatia’s Motovun Film Festival ended on July 29 with the main award, Propeller of Motovun, going to the French-Belgian film The Wakhan Front directed by Clément Cogitore.
The psychological thriller, which premiered at Cannes Critics’ Week, is about a French captain assigned on a control and surveillance mission in a remote valley on the Afghan-Pakistan border, whose troops start mysteriously disappearing.
The jury said it was “a war film that avoids all stereotypes about war. Instead, it speaks with magical and original cinematic language, telling a story of the soldiers of a French unit in Afghanistan, far from their families. A film about faith, beliefs and searching for truth while questioning what is right and what is wrong.”

Esteemed Polish auteur Jerzy Skolimowski began his directorial career in the late 60′s, but gained international acclaim outside of his native film system, dipping into the French/Belgian production of The Departure (1967), headlined by Jean-Pierre Leaud (and winning the director the Golden Berlin Bear), before helming a trio of infamous UK productions starting with 1970′s iconic Deep End, an adaptation of Nabokov’s King, Queen, Knave (1972) and the mystical genre film The Shout (1978) featuring Alan Bates and John Hurt. Skolimowski would compete at Cannes five times, winning the Grand Jury prize twice, for The Shout and 1982′s Moonlighting. And then three rounds in Venice would nab him two more Jury Prizes, for The Lightship (1985) and Essential Killing (2010).

A mysterious Englishman with mystical powers, a sexy wife, a game of cricket and an insane asylum. In different hands these elements could have been combined to make an Amicus portmanteau film in the style of Tales From the Crypt or Asylum. In the hands of I, Claudius author Robert Graves and Palme d'Or-winning Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski it becomes a strange, hypnotic and fragmented tale that unsettles and confuses in equal measure.
Alan Bates, who could give Richard Burton a run for his money in the "brooding intensity" stakes, plays Crossley, a disheveled yet charismatic wanderer who bursts uninvited into the lives of Anthony and Rachel with devastating consequences. Anthony (John Hurt) is a Radiophonic Workshop-style musician who spends most of his time recording unusual noises and manipulating tape decks.

Looking back at 2012 on what films moved and impressed us, it is clear that watching old films is a crucial part of making new films meaningful. Thus, the annual tradition of our end of year poll, which calls upon our writers to pick both a new and an old film: they were challenged to choose a new film they saw in 2012—in theaters or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they also saw in 2012 to create a unique double feature.
All the contributors were asked to write a paragraph explaining their 2012 fantasy double feature. What's more, each writer was given the option to list more pairings, with or without explanation, as further imaginative film programming we'd be lucky to catch in that perfect world we know doesn't exist but can keep dreaming of every time we go to the movies.

Craig here with the third season of Take Three. Today: John Hurt
Take One: Brighton Rock (2010)
Hurt has alternated starring roles with supporting performances since he began acting in films with The Wild and the Willing in 1962. The amount of quality supporting turns he’s delivered over the years is vast: 10 Rillington Place, Midnight Express, The Shout, The Hit, Scandal, The Field, Contact, The Proposition, Melancholia, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy are a mere few. His fine turn as accountant Phil Corkery in the Brighton Rock remake (backing up Helen Mirren, Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough and Andy Serkis) is a recent solid addition to the list and deserves due credit. Phil’s a gaunt shambles, but loyal to Mirren’s Ida, his long-time crush. He’s one of the old guard. A proud man accustomed to propping up bars whilst waxing forth about the state of the world. He’s the...

The Guard Click here to read the review! He’s a lover of mothers and whores alike, and spends equal time in the company of both. He’s a man who, when he goes off-duty for the night, kicks back with a beer and flips on the telly not for the football or a little light viewing, but instead to watch Jerzy Skolimowski’s cryptic, terrifying psychodrama, ‘The Shout’. He’s warmhearted; he’s a prick.

#10. Of Gods and Men - Xavier Beauvois (February 25th) Select sequences are almost worthy of comparison to Bresson, including head monk Lambert Wilson's conflicted hike into nature, or the monks' final, close-up filled suppertime farewell. The film needed a more ruthless editor, however -- many scenes come across as mundane and unnecessary. Could easily be an hour shorter, and better for it. #9. Le Quattro Volte - Michelangelo Frammartino (March 30th) A film that proves that the protagonist of a film need not be a human being, or even be animate. At times, however, its resistance to traditional storytelling fells more like a cop-out than a radicalism. The possibility of an inanimate object being a fully realized character is never fully explored. Still, an absorbing and unusual two hours in the movie theatre. #8. The Sleeping Beauty - Catherine Breillat (Rendez-Vous with French Cinema (Fslc) Perverse, bizarre, sexy, funny, provocative. In other words,...

Vincent Gallo stars in director Jerzy Skolimowski's return to form, a gripping, intriguing war film. By Peter Bradshaw
It has been a while since the 72-year-old Jerzy Skolimowski, director of Deep End and The Shout, and screenwriter of Polanski's Knife in the Water, has commanded so much attention. His last film, Four Nights With Anna, with which he broke a 17-year movie-making silence, I found underpowered and redundant. But in case we made the mistake of thinking Skolimowski was an extinct volcano, there has been a sudden explosion of lava. Essential Killing is intriguing and disturbing, made with tremendous confidence and conviction.
Vincent Gallo stars as Mohammed, a Taliban insurgent who has been captured in Afghanistan, waterboarded and then placed on a rendition flight to central Europe for further interrogation. The sun-baked landscape of Asia is replaced, in a kind of surreal inversion, with sub-zero Polish forests through which...

(Rob’s Venice review re-posted as film is released in the U.K. this week)
Three American contractors walk through the Afghanistan desert. They’re healthy-looking, tanned and wearing sunglasses. They engage in light-hearted banter as they investigate a system of caves, backed up by helicopter support. It could be an episode of Generation Kill, or The Hurt Locker. The camera is objective, even detached. Then we cut to a disorientated, breathless, first-person view of a man running. He’s running to avoid the soldiers we have seen. Soon, we are taken back to the soldiers: still laid back and cool. It is clear that, to them, this hunt is routine: a job. For the other guy it is survival, and killing is an essential part of life.
Alerted to his presence by a sudden noise, the Americans pursue the man into a small cave cut into the desert rock.

At the 2010 Venice film festival, when Essential Killing won the special jury prize, its director Jerzy Skolimowski announced: "For those who like me – I'm back; and to those who don't like me – I'm back."
There's much of the man in that wry, pugnacious stance. But what does "back" mean for a Pole who will be 73 this May, and who took nearly 20 years out of a film-directing career to be a painter? How will "back" turn out for one of film's least compromising mavericks? As far as I can tell, Britain is only the second large market to give Essential Killing a release (after Poland) – with no takers in the Us. But a story about a Taliban fighter (Vincent Gallo) who kills Americans in the Afghan desert, is captured and tortured, then flown back to Europe and able to escape into the deep snow, will not compete easily with Adam Sandler.

Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, London
What a wonderful world it isn't. But despite the global sweep of conflict, oppression, torture and other abuses dealt with, this festival is never a depressing experience. Instead it's the power of information in action, a vivid picture of what's going on in the world and how to change it. There are hot-button topics like Arab democracy (The Green Wave, on Iran's 2009 elections) and the war on terror (You Don't Like The Truth – 4 Days Inside Guantánamo, The Oath), but there's also powerful drama, like family mystery Incendies or Belgian immigration saga Illégal, and even heartwarming stories like A Small Act, on the far-reaching consequences of a charitable donation.
Various venues, Wed to 1 Apr

Though York couldn't maintain the Christie-like success of her 60s peak, her unusual choices made for an interesting career
There was a rage for Susannah York in the 60s like there was for Julie Christie and Vanessa Redgrave, so it seemed odd when it ended in the mid-70s. All of a sudden, the rush of good parts stopped. This seemed odd, after her Oscar nomination as best supporting actress in They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969). But then, why did she let herself take such roles as that of the superfluous wife in The Battle of Britain in the same year?
In her early career, York had seemed a conventional English beauty: as Alec Guinness's daughter in 1960's Tunes of Glory (her actual debut) and a touching lead performance the following year in Lewis Gilbert's The Greengage Summer as a young woman in France coming to sexual maturity.

Susannah York in Robert Altman's Images Susannah York Dies Part I: Tom Jones, The Killing Of Sister George Susannah York faced complex family situations in Mark Robson's cult classic Happy Birthday, Wanda June (1971), co-starring Don Murray and Rod Steiger, and played opposite Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Caine in Brian G. Hutton's messy — but fascinating – Zee and Co. / X, Y and Zee, in which jilted wife Taylor does whatever she can to destroy the love affair between husband Caine and York, even if that means seducing hubby's new girl. [Right: Susannah York and Marlon Brando in Richard Donner's Superman.] Also in the '70s, York could be seen in Christopher Miles' filmed play of Jean Genet's anti-bourgeois The Maids (1974), in which housemaids York and Glenda Jackson vent their anger against their employers; Michael Anderson's Conduct Unbecoming (1975), a court-martial drama-thriller set in colonial India; Jerzy Skolimowski's horror-drama The Shout [...]...

Actress Susannah York, perhaps best known to fantasy fans as the mother of Superman in Richard Donner's 1978 take on the comic-book hero, has died of cancer at the age of 72. Nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award in the 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, York perhaps made her deepest mark on British movies as the ingenue lover of Beryl Reid in Robert Aldrich's The Killing of Sister George (1968), thought by many to be the first film ever to seriously examine the subject of lesbianism.
Coming to early fame in 1963's Tom Jones, York was one of the most familiar faces of the 1970s and early 1980s, most especially in her unexpectedly extended role as 'Lara', mother of Superman-to-be Kal-El in the Christopher Reeve Superman cycle of movies between 1978 and 1987.

Prick up your ears and harden your hearts as AJBee plays you his choice of the most spine-chilling clips of aural horror at the cinema
When it comes to cinema, sound is often sight's neglected sister. Yet all things aural feed our mood, while an absence of sound leaves scenes cold. This is why sound is a key tool of the filmmaker with a desire to genuinely affect their audience. Fingernails screeching down a blackboard signalled an ominous presence in Jaws, while the industrial grind of Eraserhead pummels the viewer into a paranoid wreck.
The darker side of cinema is often home to the most creative use of audio. For those who can't afford CGI, the experienced sound engineer proves invaluable. Who would have thought that The Exorcist's head-turning scene was made especially dread-drenched by the creak of a leather wallet? These skilfully added acoustics may be a backdrop for the movie,...

Late Friday night (2:00 Am) June 24/26, TCM will have a rare broadcast of the 1971 drama Deep End starring Jane Asher and John Moulder-Brown. The fascinating story is set in a seedy public bath house in London where a 15 year-old boy develops an unhealthy obsession with a female co-worker. Outstanding performances and a moody atmosphere make this one a "must". Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski, whose other notable film The Shout will be shown immediately afterward. Neither film is available on DVD in America.

Jerzy Skolimowski's best known films are likely those he was a writer on and of these none is better known than Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water, a great thriller that was like Dead Calm but 27 years earlier and not actually rubbish. Amongst his work as director are two films from the 70s that I found quite lastingly disturbing since my youth, the supernatural horror film The Shout and obsession thriller Deep End. More recently, you likely saw him acting in Eastern Promises, where he played Stepan, or Mars Attacks or Before Night Falls where he had smaller roles. I'm glad to report that Jerzy Skolimowski is back on location in director mode and shooting his next film right now. The Essence of Killing "follows the story of a Taliban member who lives in Afghanistan, kills three American soldiers and then is taken captive by the Americans. He...

Fango got the scoop that Manhattan’s Film Society of Lincoln Center will present a third Scary Movies festival next month at the Walter Reade Theater (165 West 65th Street, upper level). It’s one of a trio of genre-centric showcases hitting New York-area revival houses in time for Halloween.
Scary Movies 3 hasn’t had exact dates confirmed yet, but we hear that among the movies to be presented on the Walter Reade’s big screen are Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive, Colin Eggleston’s original Aussie chiller Long Weekend and Jerzy Skolimowski’s odd and obscure 1978 film The Shout. Also part of the lineup will be a cult-classic 1980s film that, we’re told, was remade in the last few years (that really narrows it down!). Keep an eye on the Film Society website for more details to appear soon.
Over at Brooklyn’s BAMcinématek at the Bam Rose Cinemas...
