Due canzoni
Due canzoni per ricordare Jeanne Moreau (23 gennaio 1928 – 31 luglio 2017). Una terza si trova qui. Each man kills the thing he loves, dalla colonna sonora del film Querelle de Brest (Querelle, 1982) di Rainer Werner Fassbinder; musica di Peer Raben, testo di Oscar Wilde (da The Ballad of Reading Gaol, 1897). Each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter…

Happy Birthday Scottish actor Ewen Bremner, born January 23rd 1972 in Edinburgh.
Bremner has worked with many of the most respected directors in world cinema, including Danny Boyle, Mike Leigh, Ridley Scott, Joon-Ho Bong, Werner Herzog and Woody Allen. Hen has established himself by creating unique characters in critically acclaimed films, as well as going toe to toe with many of Hollywood's biggest stars.
Ewen had worked widely in theatre, television, and film for years before being cast in his breakout role in Trainspotting, by Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle. He was the first to be cast in the role of Mark Renton in Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre production but lost out to Ewan McGregor in the film version, instead he was handed the role of Spud Murphy and earned screen immortality with his character's infamous "speed fuelled" job interview scene.
Prior to Trainspotting, Bremner gave a striking performance in Mike Leigh's Naked, fellow Scot Susan Vidler played his girlfriend Maggie in this excellent film.
In 1999, Bremner received critical acclaim for his portrayal of a schizophrenic man living with his dysfunctional family in Harmony Korine's Julien, Donkey-Boy. Filmed strictly in accordance with the ultra-realist tenants of Lars Von Trier's Dogma 95 movement and starring opposite Werner Herzog, Bremner played Julien its eponymous hero, requiring him to assume an American accent. He then worked with director Michael Bay in his high-profile 2001 war film Pearl Harbor, proving his versatility once again by portraying the role of a wholeheartedly patriotic American soldier fighting in WWII. The following year, he stepped back into fatigues for a supporting role in Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down, while rounding out the next several years with roles in high-profile Hollywood releases such as The Rundown, Disney's Around the World in 80 Days), AVP: Alien vs. Predator, Woody Allen's Match Point, the comedy Death at a Funeral directed by Frank Oz, and Fool's Gold starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson.
This past few of years proved to be a busy when Bremner was invited to join the DC Universe in the Zack Snyder-produced feature Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins, co-starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. Ewen also reprised his unforgettable role as Spud in the highly-anticipated sequel to Danny Boyle's cult classic, T2: Trainspotting
Bremner appeared in the TNT Drama Series Will with Shekhar Kapur. The series told the story of the lost years of young William Shakespeare after his arrival to London in 1589 but only lasted one season. Other notable film credits include Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, Perfect Sense starring again alongside Ewan McGregor, Great Expectations, Jack the Giant Slayer, and Snowpiercer starring alongside Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton. Further credits include Exodus: Gods and Kings, Wide Open Spaces, Mojo, Mediator, Faintheart, Hallam Foe, Sixteen Years of Alcohol, and Snatch.
In television, Ewen has worked on many acclaimed productions including David Hare's Worriker trilogy starring Bill Nighy for BBC, Jimmy McGovern's Moving On and also his Australian mini-series Banished, Strike Back for Sky TV, Dominic Savage's Dive, the Dylan Thomas biopic, A Poet In New York and the adaptation of Day of the Triffids for the BBC. Other noteworthy series appearances include portraying legendary surrealist Salvador Dali in the U.K. television drama Surrealissimo: The Trial of Salvador Dali, and a guest spot on the successful NBC series, My Name is Earl, not to forget an early appearance in Taggart way back in 1990.
Latley Ewen has been one of a number of Scottish actors who are backing a campaign to reopen the Film House cinema in Edinburgh, he has a couple of projects on the go just now, Bluefish, which takes us around the globe to tell stories of people trying to break out of their bubbles of isolation, which I take to mean the Covid pandemic, he also has a film on the go called Roo, but there is nothing to report on that just now.

You seen this?

I have not, this looks incredible though.
Tumblr media
Willem Dafoe is in his apartment in New York, where he is watched over by two works of art. Behind him is an oil painting of his father, a prop created for a film, which required “dynastic portraits” of his relatives. “I liked my father fine, so, there he is.” We are talking on Zoom and he spins the camera round. “But look, even better! Here’s the counterpoint. Do you see that?” To the side of him is a large, lightbox photograph of his friend and occasional collaborator, the artist Marina Abramović, standing priest-like over a naked body adorned with organs. “Anyway, you get the idea,” he says.
Dafoe is less the kind of actor who wants to discuss his three-hour morning workout routine and more the type who will get stuck into the bigger stuff. We are here to talk about Poor Things, the stunning new Yorgos Lanthimos film, based on the novel by Alasdair Gray. Dafoe stars as a reclusive genius scientist named Godwin Baxter – God, for short – who creates life in the form of Emma Stone’s Bella. It is a gorgeous, thrilling adventure and it could be the film to earn Dafoe, who slaps on heavy prosthetics to play God, his fifth Oscar nomination. His first was for Platoon, in 1987, and he has been working solidly, voraciously even, since 1980, making more than 150 films in five decades, with every interesting director in the business, from David Lynch to Wes Anderson, from Werner Herzog to Paul Schrader and Martin Scorsese.

Pasternak's Russia via David Lean
Watching Dr. Zhivago (1965)—I most likely have not seen this film for thirty-five years or more.
The distinctive music gets me of course—it played on AM radio when I was a kid (mid- to late-1960s), so that's burned into the brain deeply. But look at just one of the shots David Lean (or perhaps Freddie Young, his Director of Photography) cooked up—really outstanding. The aspect ratio of Panavision matches Lean's penchant for the awe-inspiring, expansive landscape.
Omar Sharif and Julie Christie carry the film. Of course seeing, and listening to, Alec Guinness is always a treat. And, much to my surprise, this film had a small part for Klaus Kinski. [He and Werner Herzog nearly killed each other (literally) during the making of Fitzcarraldo.] In the end, Dr. Zhivago won four Oscars (including Freddie Young for his fine cinematography) and a truck load of Golden Globes.
I used to watch films like this on television while I was in art school back in the early 1980s. My friends and I would stay up, drinking beer, taking in staples such as Casablanca, 12 Angry Men, works by Hitchcock, etc. Prior to the diffusion of content via cable TV (akin to what happened with music with the rise of FM and streaming much later), these works were shown more regularly on network television: a comforting and recurring presence.

Some notes: After watching the Borowczyk biopic (of sorts) Boro in the Box I decided to catch up on some of the later movies by the "dead Polish film maker" which I was more unfamiliar with, which turned out to be a very mixed bunch. Similarly I'd been promising myself to watch the Hal Hartley “Henry Fool trilogy” for ages but found Fay Grim a huge disappointment after Henry Fool. Ned Rifle was more of a return to form at least.

LA ZONA DI INTERESSE
“La zona di interesse” di Jonathan Glazer è un film raccapricciante e, anche se può sembrare paradossale, un raccapricciante capolavoro. La famiglia di Rudolf Höss vive in una algida villetta appiccicata al muro perimetrale del campo di concentramento di Auschwitz e Höss è lo spietato direttore del campo. Forse spietato non è l’aggettivo esatto, Rudolf Höss è un esecutore del male pianificato, messo in campo dal nazismo per far scomparire il popolo ebraico della faccia della terra. E’ una storia raccontata mille volte (per fortuna), ma mai o quasi mai in modo così persuasivamente e sottilmente inquietante. Non si tratta di una ricostruzione storica, ma di uno psicodramma che vive di allusioni, di segni, di dialoghi e di suoni, a cominciare da quello schermo buio iniziale, popolato da sussurri e grida e dalle tonalità della composizione di Mica Levi, possente come lo “Shemà Israel“ che prorompe da "Un sopravvissuto di Varsavia" di Arnold Schönberg. L’incubo si trasforma, nella scena di apertura, in un idillio campestre della famigliola di Höss che trascorre qualche ora di serenità in riva ad un lago. Questa dualità sarà presente in feroce contrasto in tutto il film, anzi “è” tutto il film. L’intimità domestica e famigliare del gerarca nazista è contigua alla più perversa idea di sterminio mai perpetrata dall’essere umano. A ricordarlo, sono le altane del campo di concentramento che quasi gettano la loro ombra funerea sulla serra e sulla piscina della casa di Höss, casa, ambientazioni e abbigliamenti molto “Neue Sachlichkeit”. La narrazione è statica, nel film non succede quasi nulla, ma quel che non succede lascia intravedere ciò che è stato. Il sordo rumore dei forni crematori in funzione, di cui Rudolf Höss era lo spietato pianificatore, gli spari, appena percepiti nel sottofondo delle garrule grida dei bambini in giardino, dell’abbaiare del cane, del rumore del vento. Una vita domestica che prosegue senza scossoni fino al trasferimento di Rudolf Höss ad altro incarico che lascia però inalterata l’atmosfera idilliaco-paranoica della famiglia del militare. Se Hannah Arendt aveva parlato di “banalità del male”, nulla meglio di questa villetta razionalista nella campagna bavarese e appiccicata al Konzentrationslager Auschwitz, può rendere al meglio il concetto della filosofa tedesca. Jonathan Glazer ha girato il film servendosi di telecamere ad altissima definizione che rendono iperreali luoghi, persone, fatti. Piani di ripresa fissi, nessun movimento, quasi a voler scegliere una neutralità che rende tutto ancora più agghiacciante, anche se nel film c’è molto del “Nuovo cinema tedesco”, quello di Rainer Werner Fassbinder in particolare; come non pensare infatti alla lattiginosa atmosfera in cui si muoveva Veronika Ross (interpretata divinamente da Hanna Schigulla), della cosiddetta “BRD-Trilogie” di Fassbinder. Anche in questo, come in quel film, straordinaria l’interpertazione di una donna, Sandra Hüller nei panni della moglie di Höss (interpretato da Christian Friedel). Per chi vi scrive Oscar già vinto e stravinto.
