Bollywood Blockbuster BOMBAY VELVET Music Video

May 8, 2015 by Lamb L.

We regularly screen Bollywood movies at our Encino theater and on Friday, May 15 we’ve got a good one slated. BOMBAY VELVET is an amalgam of Cotton Club, Scarface and Good Fellas. The official synopsis by the film’s U.S. distributor reads “Set against the backdrop of Bollywood’s Golden Age, BOMBAY VELVET is a noir from acclaimed director Anurag Kashyap and stars Ranbir Kapoor (Barfi), Anushka Sharma (PK), and Karan Johar (My Name is Khan) in a story about an ordinary man who must forge his destiny in the City of Dreams.” This music video will give you a good idea of the energy, production values and tone of the movie. (Interesting to note the continual appearance of the text “SMOKING KILLS” that appears each time somebody a character in the film is depicted smoking a cigarette. This is a requirement of the Indian censors and will only appear on prints that are set to play in India.)

André Téchiné on the Themes that Motivated Him to Make IN THE NAME OF MY DAUGHTER: ““I love you how you must be loved, with excess, madness, ardor and despair.’”

May 6, 2015 by Lamb L.

This month we’ll be opening the intense new French thriller IN THE NAME OF MY DAUGHTER, (originally L’homme qu’on aimait trop). Directed by master André Téchiné (My Favorite Season, Wild Reeds), Catherine Deneuve stars as a glamorous casino owner in 1970s Nice. The drama begins when her daughter (Adèle Haenel) moves back home, falls in love with her mother’s formerly trusted adviser (Guillaume Canet), commits a major betrayal and then disappears. Thirty years later, her mother is determined to see justice done. M. Téchiné sat for an interview about his latest film:

The film started out as a commission. What did they want you to do?

Originally, the idea was for me to make a loose adaptation of Renée Le Roux’s memoirs, Une femme face à la mafia (lit: A woman up against the Mafia) written by her son Jean- Charles. From the outset, I knew that I wanted Catherine Deneuve to play the part of Renée Le Roux. The book tells the story of the casino wars on the French Riviera between the 1970s–1980s, from the protagonist’s point of view. It includes the account of the take-over of Madame Le Roux’s Palais de le Mediterranée casino by Jean-Dominique Fratoni, with the support of Jacques Medecin, the then-mayor of Nice. The casinos in this story are a far cry from the casinos of today. In fact, some of the most popular ones, like the ntc33, operate solely as online casinos now. It adds to the growing list of online casino websites that players can enjoy from the comfort of their own homes. Casinos are becoming more accessible, with some allowing their users to play and deposit with phone credit and other amenities. However, this abundance of online casinos isn’t necessarily a good thing. Back in the 1970s-1980s, when the story was set, you knew how good a casino was because of its reputation. You could guarantee that lots of people would have visited them and could give an opinion on them. Today, there are so many online casinos, meaning there will be many which won’t have been played by people you know, so you won’t know how good they are. This is where sites like Casino Martini come in handy; they review online casinos like Barbados so you know which ones are best to use.

What interested you about this story?

I focused my attention on the relationship between Renée Le Roux, her daughter Agnès, and Maurice Agnelet: the iron-fisted mother, the rebellious daughter and Agnelet’s desire for recognition by society. It was Agnès that I was most interested in. I wanted to paint her portrait. I agreed to make the film after reading the letters that Agnès had written to Agnelet because, quite unexpectedly, I found a surprising resemblance with another female character that I had long wanted to bring to the screen, Julie de Lespinasse. There are many parallels between the passionate love letters of this woman of letters and Agnes – heir to the Palais de la Mediterranée’s – letters. For example: “I love you how you must be loved, with excess, madness, ardor and despair.”

You turned the story of the casino wars into a story of psychological confrontation that takes on a myth-like status.

This is a war film. But on a human level. I was determined not to remove the events that drive the plot. I wanted to show the process of a takeover of power, the methods used to bring down a casino, the workings of a business in this very shady environment with all the elements of cruelty and servitude. I wanted to follow through on all the events that really happened until the downfall, until defeat. This war-like aspect structures the narrative.

24 DAYS ~ L.A. Times Critic’s Pick of the Week!

April 30, 2015 by Lamb L.

The L.A. Times just posted film critic Betsy Sharkey’s Pick of the Week for 24 DAYS:

“24 DAYS a Harrowing, Fact-Based Kidnap Drama”

“With the growing focus on hate crimes, consider checking out the reality-based drama “24 DAYS,” which details a French family’s agony when their son is kidnapped, days pass and hope dies. French director Alexandre Arcady brings a gritty, bare-bones approach to the story of Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Parisian taken and tortured in 2006 by a group that would come to be known as the Gang of Barbarians. It is chilling hearing the group’s mastermind, an unbalanced Fofana (Tony Harrisson), scream irrational demands and anti-Semitic tirades in some 700 phone calls the family received over the 24 days. What carries the film, which is now moving to a few more theaters, is the interplay between the victim’s divorced parents Ruth (Zabou Breitman) and Didier (Pascal Elbé) — estranged for so long, now trying to set aside differences to ensure their son’s survival. The filmmaker has said he made the film to remind people of the victims, not the headline-grabbing murderers. “24 DAYS” makes Ilan Halimi impossible to forget.” ~ Betsy Sharkey

SAINT LAURENT in New York Magazine: “7 Things to Know About the New Yves Saint Laurent Biopic”

April 29, 2015 by Lamb L.

From Sarah Moroz’s New York Magazine piece about SAINT LAURENT, which we open at the Royal on May 8 and the Town Center and Playhouse on May 15:

As far as films about designers go, Yves Saint Laurent is having a moment. A documentary, L’Amour Fou, about the designer’s history with his once-lover and long-term business partner Pierre Bergé came out in 2010, and Jalil Lespert’s Yves Saint Laurent opened in January, for which Bergé — now the keeper of the designer’s estate — granted its filmmaker complete access to the house’s archives. It’s going to be a must watch for fashionistas the world over, although it might have you spending quite a lot on designer fashion afterwards (unless you buy from Luxurytastic Replicas that is, in which case you’d get virtually the same product for half the price).
Now comes this year’s “other” Saint Laurent film: SAINT LAURENT, the unauthorized biopic directed by Bertrand Bonello. Bergé damned this version in the press (and threatened to sue Bonello for it in 2013) — but it’s already received glowing reviews for its fluid approach to an often heavy-handed genre. At a recent screening at the Paris club Le Silencio, Bonello chalked up the tandem productions to Zeitgeist. “Saint Laurent died in 2008. Around 2010, people started talking about making a film,” and, in 2012, he says, his production and Lespert’s version “started at the same time.” Bonello decided to push back his release to finish it (it opened in limited release in Paris last week). Last May, it was picked up by Sony Pictures Classics before it even went to Cannes, and France has already submitted it to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a candidate for Best Foreign Film.

Here, seven things you need to know about the new Saint Laurent movie.

It focuses on a different time in the designer’s life. Bonello admitted some tailoring to his script had to be done: “When I got wind of what the other film was about, more or less, I cut the beginning of my own film to enter more directly into the heart of the movie.” His delves into the era during which “Yves Saint Laurent was already extremely famous. There isn’t at all, like in the other film, an initial meeting with Pierre Bergé, the birth of the maison, there isn’t the ascension … we attack with someone who is already at his peak.” The decade in question is 1967 to 1976, zigging and zagging between Saint Laurent’s atelier, his nightlife excursions, his trysts, his pill-popping binges, his opulent home. A “flash-forward” look into designer’s later life (circa 1989–1990) is brusquely evoked in the latter part, almost à la Lost.

It was made on a budget. The fact that the two movies were made simultaneously created a lot of production issues — especially in the financial department. “Economically speaking, having two films about Saint Laurent in a fragile market … we all cut our budgets,” said Bonello, who disclosed that the film was made for 8 million euros rather the original figure of 15. “We weren’t sure if there would be one film, two films, zero films, based on what the market could absorb.”

The fact that Berge didn’t get involved may have been a good thing. Bergé and the Fondation Piere Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent gave their blessing to Lespert’s film while damning this production. Bonello admitted in interviews that he had not wanted to meet with Bergé before having fleshed out his own vision, which he says caused Bergé to feel slighted. But Bonello said that he felt relieved that he ultimately didn’t have to deal with Bergé’s creative input. Ultimately, although Bergé did not grant Bonello access to the Yves Saint Laurent archives, the production had, crucially, the backing of François-Henri Pinault, CEO of Kering (which owns the Saint Laurent brand).

This version is getting much better reviews. Lespert’s film received lukewarm reviews — Le Monde called it “disappointing” and wrote that the director “merely reduces the life of the fashion designer to a simple story.” Bonello’s version is, on the other hand, is already being acclaimed.L’Express described it as: “masterful film directing … each narrative decision required above all a cinematographic film resolution.”

Clothes don’t get the short shrift. Gaspard Ulliel, playing the namesake designer — in spot-on reincarnation casting — is turned out in trim suits and oversize bow ties, by way of costume designer Anaïs Romand. Léa Seydoux as Loulou de la Falaise orbits in fabulous boho garb. But the real fashion star of the movie is Louis Garrel as Jacques De Bascher, Saint Laurent’s lover ( … also Karl Lagerfeld’s), who is impeccably outfitted and, simply, unmatched.

The film also expertly articulates the designer’s style philosophy. When a client (in a cameo by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Carla Bruni’s actress sister) hesitantly tries on a gray menswear suit, Saint Laurent reassures her that thanks to the trouser pockets, she can go out with just the essentials: her keys and pack of cigarettes.

Fashion is put in context with the times. For one of the sequences, Bonello juxtaposed the runway looks with black-and-white footage of protests, military tanks, and scenes of activism that characterized the societal turmoil of the late ‘60s — effectively putting the clothes within the historical circumstances of its time.

It gets a little imaginative, too. Bonello reimagined behind-the-scenes of shoot of Saint Laurent’s “le smoking,” photographed by Helmut Newton in 1975 for French Vogue, in which one woman appears dressed in black menswear suiting and the other is naked.

In the sequence, Bonello depicts them discussing fashion and lamenting the cold. Their chatter is a little overly self-aware, but it’s the perfect symbol for the film: It goes beyond the flat glamour of familiar imagery and takes a guess at what’s beneath the surface.

Indiewire on the Hit Swedish Comedy THE 100-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED: “This Film Is Like the Unruly Nordic Cousin of ‘Forrest Gump'”

April 29, 2015 by Lamb L.

On May 8 we’ll be opening a film with what may very well be the longest title of any film we at Laemmle Theatres have shown in our 77-year history: THE 100-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED. Powered by the antics of a mischievous centenarian on the run, this blockbuster comedy abounds with irreverent charm.  After a long and colorful life working in munitions and getting entangled in the Spanish Civil War, the Manhattan Project, and other definitive events of the 20th century, Allan Karlsson finds himself stuck in a nursing home.  Determined to escape on his 100th birthday, he leaps out of a window and onto the nearest bus, kicking off an unexpected journey involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some wicked criminals, and an elephant named Sonya.  Like an unruly Nordic cousin of Forrest Gump, Allan’s youthful escapades and current adventures weave together into an offbeat treat for anyone who’s young at heart.  Starring beloved comedian Robert Gustafsson, this fanciful spin on world history is based on a best-selling novel and is the highest-grossing Swedish film of all time.

Indiewire just posted this exclusive clip from the film:

Albert Maysles 1926-2015: “I happily place my fate and faith in reality.” We open his penultimate film, IRIS, on May 1st.

April 22, 2015 by Lamb L.

Prolific, pioneering documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles passed away last month. With his late brother David he made such acclaimed films as Grey Gardens and Gimme Shelter. He described himself this way: “As a documentarian I happily place my fate and faith in reality. It is my caretaker, the provider of subjects, themes, experiences – all endowed with the power of truth and the romance of discovery. And the closer I adhere to reality the more honest and authentic my tales. After all, the knowledge of the real world is exactly what we need to better understand and therefore possibly to love one another. It’s my way of making the world a better place.” 

We are proud to open Mr. Mayles penultimate film IRIS on May 1st at the Royal and Playhouse 7 and May 8th at the Town Center 5 and Claremont 5. The film is a portrait of Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an out-sized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how, even at Iris’ advanced age, a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. IRIS portrays a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are life’s sustenance and reminds us that dressing, and indeed life, is nothing but an experiment. Despite the abundance of glamour in her current life, she continues to embrace the values and work ethic established during a middle-class Queens upbringing during the Great Depression. “I feel lucky to be working. If you’re lucky enough to do something you love, everything else follows.”

The film is widely admired. “Albert Maysles has delivered a gem.” (Graham Fuller, Screen International) “An exuberant portrait” (Manohla Dargis, New York Times). “A joyous celebration of creativity and razor-sharp wit sustained into old age, as evinced by outspoken nonagenarian fashion icon Iris Apfel, IRIS also offers proof of Albert Maysles’ continued vitality as a documentarian.” (Ronnie Schieb, Variety) “A captivating salute.” (David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter)

FELIX AND MEIRA Q&A’s Opening Weekend at the Royal and Town Center 5

April 21, 2015 by Lamb L.

FELIX AND MEIRA is a calling card for its young director, Maxime Giroux; a story of an unconventional romance between two people living vastly different realities mere blocks away from one another. Each lost in their everyday lives, Meira (Hadas Yaron), a Hasidic Jewish wife and mother and Félix (Martin Dubreuil), a secular loner mourning the recent death of his estranged father, unexpectedly meet in a local bakery in Montreal’s Mile End district. What starts as an innocent friendship becomes more serious as the two wayward strangers find comfort in one another. As Felix opens Meira’s eyes to the world outside of her tight-knit Orthodox community, her desire for change becomes harder for her to ignore, ultimately forcing her to choose: remain in the life that she knows or give it all up to be with Félix. Giroux’s film is a poignant and touching tale of self-discovery set against the backdrops of Montreal, Brooklyn, and Venice, Italy.

FELIX AND MEIRA co-star Luzer Twersky will participate in Q&A’s after the 7:10 PM screenings at the Royal on Friday and Saturday, April 24 and 25 and at the Town Center after the 4:30 PM shows on Saturday and Sunday, April 25 and 26.

During the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide, New Drama ‘1915’ Opens at the Music Hall, Playhouse and Town Center

April 14, 2015 by Lamb L.

This year marks a solemn occasion, the centennial of the Armenian Genocide. There are, of course, many events around town dedicated to remembrance as well as action. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles is planning an ecumenical service at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on April 14. United Armenian Council of Los Angeles is planning a march on April 24 and a commemoration of the 25th. A complete list is here.

This Friday we will open the drama-thriller 1915 at the Music Hall, Playhouse and Town Center. The film follows a man on a mission to bring the ghost of this forgotten tragedy back to life. More than a cutting-edge mystery, 1915 is also an explosive call to action against the silence and denial that have fueled a century of genocide.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyo-G3dhMRM

Finally, there is still time to join and/or donate to this Sunday’s Walk to End Genocide at Pan Pacific Park, an extremely good cause supported by the Laemmle Charitable Foundation. Greg and Tish Laemmle will be there.
