Léa Seydoux was originally meant to star opposite Gaspard Ulliel in Bertrand Bonello’s audacious sci-fi love story “The Beast.” But the beloved César-winning French actor died at age 37 in January 2022 after a skiing accident while the film was still in pre-production, and he was posthumously replaced by George MacKay.
Seydoux previously starred alongside Ulliel, revered for roles in movies including Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s “A Very Long Engagement” and Bonello’s own “Saint Laurent,” in Xavier Dolan’s 2016 Cannes winner “It’s Only the End of the World.” Seydoux, who recently spoke with IndieWire about her multiple roles in “The Beast” as a woman confronted across centuries by a devastating impossible romance, did not get the chance to talk to Ulliel about “The Beast” before filming. He did, however, leave her a WhatsApp voice message praising her turn in Bruno Dumont’s media satire “France,” a box office hit in France...

In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week we look at several videos from Xavier Dolan, including the two he made for Adele. Xavier Dolan is quitting filmmaking, because according to him 'art is a waste of time'. The once-wunderkind turned enfant terrible of Canadian cinema made some excellent films in his active years, some slightly thorny and fickle ones and some clunkers. But I think his most impactful pieces of art are in fact his three music videos, all of which are to be found below. One...

Viewers of Marvel’s Moon Knight may have noticed that episode 3 was dedicated to the memory of French actor Gaspard Ulliel, who plays black market antiquities collector Anton Mogart in the episode. He ends up clashing with Layla El-Faouly (May Calamawy) and Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) – the latter in and out of the Moon Knight suit — over a sarcophagus containing the next clue to the whereabouts of Ammit’s tomb.
Ulliel, who made his feature film debut in 2001’s The Brotherhood of the Wolf but was perhaps best known to American audiences as a young Hannibal Lecter in the 2007 film Hannibal Rising, was tragically killed at the age of 37 on January 18, 2022 in a skiing accident in Savoie, France.

The tragic death of Gaspard Ulliel, the beloved French star of “It’s Only the End of the World” and Marvel’s upcoming “Moon Knight” series, while he was skiing in the French Alps on Jan. 19 has been ruled accidental following an investigation for manslaughter conducted by authorities in Albertville, France.
The 37 year-old actor, who died of a brain injury at the hospital in Grenoble, was skiing on an intermediate slope under a clear weather in the La Rosière resort located in the Alps when he collided with a skier while making a left turn at around 4 p.m., according to a statement released by the Savoie prosecutor in Albertville.

Gaspard Ulliel has died.
The French actor, who is set to star in the forthcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight, passed away following a ski accident.
He was 37.
According to Deadline, Ulliel was hospitalized Tuesday after suffering a head injury.
The outlet states the actor was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Grenoble following an accident on the slopes in the Savoie region.
It has been reported that Ulliel collided with another skier at an intersection between two slopes.
The mountain police service working at the accident site said that there have been multiple incidents per day in recent weeks due to the snow hardening.
Ulliel plays Moon Knight villain Anton Mogart aka Midnight Man, on the forthcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe series.
Production is said to have been completed, and given the recently announced March 30 premiere date, it sounds like all of Ulliel's scenes were completed prior to his passing.

Peas & Carrots: Dolan Gets Caught in a Bad Romance
Xavier Dolan devotees will be happy to note his latest feature, the treacly melodrama Matthias and Maxime, is at least less abrasively formulated as his last two features, the impregnably shrill It’s Only the End of the World (2016) and the abominable The Death and Life of John F. Donovan (2018).
As the comparably less verbose title indicates, this latest signals what some might call “a return to form,” however, this is a rather rusted silver lining to champion in a gay panic drama which dwells as gracefully as a mud-slicked pig hunting truffles trapped in its own trough.…...

Canada contends this year with “Antigone” for its eighth Oscar nomination in the Best International Feature category, which has been renamed from Best Foreign Language Film. Canada was a staple of the race until recently, making the shortlist seven out of 10 times from 2003 to 2012. This included the country’s first and only win, for 2003’s “The Barbarian Invasions” by Denys Arcand, as well as three consecutive nominations from 2010 to 2012. Canada has been snubbed the last six years, only making the shortlist for 2016’s “It’s Only the End of the World,” which had won the Grand Prix runner-up award at the Cannes Film Festival for director Xavier Dolan.
“Antigone” is shaping up to be Canada’s most-acclaimed submission in years. Its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival yielded the People’s Choice Award for Best Canadian Film and the film has 91% approval from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, the best rating...

“Nocturama” will soon open in theaters, but its journey hasn’t been easy.
A story about a group of Parisian teenagers who plot and pull off a deadly terrorist attack, Bertrand Bonello’s icy thriller had the misfortune of being completed after the November 2015 Paris attacks. Now the “House of Tolerance” and “Saint Laurent” director has opened up in a new piece for Artforum to discuss how “Cannes didn’t want the film” and the ways in which “haters” online hurt its chances of success.

Blockbuster audiences flocked to Spider-Man: Homecoming this weekend to the tune of $117M (making it the second-highest opening for the character behind the largely reviled Spider-Man 3), while Sundance darling A Ghost Story had a strong limited debut in four theatres. Meanwhile, The Big Sick expanded further and continues to do gangbusters - it goes nationwide this coming week. Did you catch any of these three? Something else?
Have you started you mid-year catch up, like Spencer did with Gore Verbinski's A Cure For Wellness? I also recently caught up to Xavier Dolan's It's Only The End Of the World, which landed oh so quietly on Us Netflix. Is there any hidden gem you've caught on any streaming platforms?

Today is National Canadian Film Day and there's no better way to celebrate than by watching Canadian movies!
Canadian films are largely underrated, but there are tons of filmmakers, both new and old, that are resurrecting the Canadian film scene. While Quebec has always had a strong presence in the film-making world, with directors like Xavier Dolan, Denis Villeneuve and Jean Marc Vallee constantly doing us proud, there's also a lot of great efforts from the English-speaking Canadian film realm, that we often forget about. Legends like David Cronenberg, Deepa Mehta and Guy Maddin have always made distinct, challenging work, and there's a new emerging scene--from the more established filmmakers like Jason Reitman and Sarah Polley, to a new crop of directors like Matt Johnson and Andrew Cividino.

The awards are given out by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. This year's nominees boast a diverse line up of films that tell stories not just in English and French, but also Mandarin, Atikamekw and Inuktiut.
The most high-profile of the bunch would have to be Xavier Dolan's It's Only the End of the World, which is a likely contender at the Oscars this year in the Best Foreign Language Film category. It made the shortlist of nine films that will be considered at the Oscars, which also includes Germany's Toni Erdmann and Chile's Neruda.

A grand total of 85 movies were accepted from the record 89 submissions, but now the Academy is only eyeing nine of them to eventually nominate five from. Let’s take a closer look the lucky ones to make the shortlist — as controversial as they are — and get to know them better and see if history can provide context for what makes them so special.

★★★☆☆ If Hollywood has taught us anything it's never to organise a family dinner. From August, Osage County to Xavier Dolan's latest, It's Only the End of the World, family repasts are a reminder that get-togethers are frequently times of emotional outbursts, melodramatic explosions and smashed crockery. Trey Edward Shults' debut movie is the emotionally pummelling Krisha, a fraught portrait in hysteria. The eponymous protagonist played by Krisha Fairchild, Shults' mother, is a former flower child in her sixties, visiting her sister (played by Shults' aunt) for Thanksgiving in a Texas suburb where a large extended family is gathered for the meal.

Yesterday at an unusually tense and controversial Ophir Awards ceremony, Sand Storm won the Israeli Oscar and will thus be Israel's Oscar submission. The debut female director Elite Zexer, giving the last acceptance speech of the evening, spoke about how she employed Jews, Muslims, and Christians on the picture.
Though I already think Israel should have won the Oscar in this category (for Late Marriage which was submitted but not nominated in the year of Amelie and No Man's Land) and they've had high quality films in the mix before, I'm a little cool on this particular picture.

The Toronto International Film Festival has nearly completed its slate announcement this year — expect a few stragglers to be announced in the coming days, but this is about the size of it — rounding out its lineup with today’s announcement of its Docs, Midnight Madness, Vanguard and Tiff Cinematheque picks. And what a group this is, including plenty of returning favorites and some very exciting new names.
Tiff’s Docs section features a collection of works from award-winning directors including Steve James, Raoul Peck, Errol Morris and Werner Herzog. Leonardo DiCaprio even pops up for a “rousing call to action on climate change” in “The Turning Point,” made in collaboration with Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens and already picked up by National Geographic.
