Lebanese writer/director Ziad Doueiri (West Beirut – ’98, Lila Says- ’04) finally returns behind the camera for his third feature, an adaptation of the novel by Algerian writer Yasmina Khadra. A successful Arab surgeon living in Israel finds his life shattered when he finds his wife was involved in a suicide bombing thus sending him on a journey full of unintentional discovery. A thoroughly profound, layered and complex film, the Israeli and Palestinian conflict provides the backdrop for what is essentially a thriller with a love story at its core. With Ali Suliman in a dramatically anchor-heavy lead role, and equally strong perfs from supporting players Reymond Amsalem and Uri Gavriel, according to our four-star review, “this is perhaps the most humanistic take on the never-ending conflict to ever be presented on the screen, definitely an important and compelling film.” The Attack [06.21 - NYC and Washington] received its world premiere showing at Tiff last fall where...

What at first appears to be the most important issue is whether a suicide bombing in Israeli’s largest city, killing seventeen people including eleven children, is the work of the doctor’s [ Read More ]

Title: Byzantium Screened At: Tribeca Film Festival 2013 Directed By: Neil Jordan Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Arterton, Caleb Landry Jones, Daniel Mays, Uri Gavriel, Sam Riley Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton are captivating enough, but this hybrid drama-period piece lacks the zest, pace and tension you’d expect from a film digging into the repercussions of vampirism. Clara (Arterton) and her daughter Eleanor (Ronan) may be able to conjure their pointy nails, draw blood, and suck a victim dry, but making enough money to put a roof over their heads is a different story. Over two centuries after leaving their humanity behind to become vampires, the pair is still on the [ Read More ]

Interview with a Vampire director Neil Jordan has made a solid looking new vampire film called Byzantium, which stars Gemma Arterton, Saoirse Ronan, and Sam Riley. The movie premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, and it ended up getting a good amount of positive reviews. The new trailer features new footage including Arterton bathing in a waterfall of blood. Here's the synopsis:
Seventeen years after Neil Jordan first dipped into the vampire genre with Interview With the Vampire, his Byzantium proves that he has lost none of his taste for the bloody and Gothic. Drenched in a rich, suitably gloomy atmosphere, Jordan brings a crystalline vision to bear on this story of two female vampires who wreak havoc on an unsuspecting English seaside community, as the film fluctuates between gory mayhem and melancholic reflection.
Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan) is a precocious girl with a bent for storytelling. A natural introvert, her...

Saoirse Ronan, Caleb Landry Jones, Byzantium Images from the set of Neil Jordan's Byzantium have been released online. In the picture above you get to see Saoirse Ronan either about to bite or to rescue — both? — Caleb Landry Jones. In Byzantium, Ronan plays the vampire daughter of Gemma Arterton, who also happens to enjoy some viscous red juice every now and then. Adapted for the screen by Jane Eyre and Tamara Drewe screenwriter Moira Buffini, the author of the original play (A Vampire Story), Byzantium also features Jonny Lee Miller, Sam Riley, Daniel Mays, and Uri Gavriel. Considering that this comes from the man who directed Mona Lisa, The Crying Game, and The End of the Affair, one shouldn't expect a variation on the more audience-friendly Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson/Taylor Lautner Twilight movies. But in addition to vampires, Byzantium and Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse/Breaking Dawn share one element in common: reddish hair.
