Peter Garde, European film financing vet and frequent collaborator of filmmakers like Lars Von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, has died aged 67 in Fakse, Denmark, after a long battle with cancer. Garde’s wife, Nanna, confirmed the news to Deadline alongside his close associates, Peter Aalbæk Jensen and Anders Kjærhauge.
Garde began his education in finance in the small town of Store Heddinge in Denmark, where he was a student set to become a banker. He ultimately went on to start his own financial exchange company.
After the success of Lars Von Trier’s Breaking The Waves, Garde was convinced by his close friend producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen to join Zentropa and help manage all the money that was pouring into the studio, which ultimately became the beginning of Garde’s long career with Lars Von Trier and Zentropa Studios’ films. He joined the company in 1997.

A film as lost as it’s characters, Young Ones is what happens when big ideas meet terrible execution and a lackluster script, combining for a film that’s a chore to watch.
Young Ones is an epic film, a neowestern sci-fi film, spilt into chapters to show what happens when scarce resources force people to the breaking point. Ernest Holm (Michael Shannon) lives and works on the harsh frontier, delivering supplies to the workers on the water line with his son Jerome (Kodi Smit McPhee). Meanwhile at home his daughter Mary (Elle Fanning) is tired of the struggles and wants a better life, something presented to her in the form of Flem Lever (Nicholas Hoult). Unbeknownst to the clan, Lever has bigger designs than just Mary and longs to have Ernrest’s land for himself and to return it to it’s former glory.

Source: FilmShaft - New International Poster For Lars von Trier’s Melancholia Plus Stills
A brand new international poster for Lars von Trier's eagerly anticipated drama, Melancholia, has been put online. The Danish auteur has attracted a great cast including Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Udo Kier and Stellan Skarsgård for what has been often described as a "psychological disaster film".
The poster looks to have taken its inspiration from a book jacket and is a classy affair. The stills themselves are gorgeous and very Scandinavian looking. This should be a treat after the horror of AntiChrist.
Synopsis:
Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kiefer Sutherland star together with Alexander Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Stellan Skarsgård, Udo Kier and Jesper Christensen. The behind-the-scenes team includes award-winning cinematographer Manuel Alberto Claro Dff (Reconstruction), production designer Jette Lehmann (Flame and Citron), and costume designer Manon Rasmussen (Dancer in the Dark...

The trailer made its debut last week (see it Melancholia Trailer) and now Lars von Trier's next magnum opus will open in the UK from 30th September. Melancholia will be receiving its world premiere at the 64th Cannes Film Festival next month, which means Lars will be making the trip to the fest in his camper van. He's scared of flying, apparently.
So will Melancholia cause outrage on the Croisette like Antichrist did? Who knows. Von Trier announced at the pre-shoot press conference there would be "no more happy endings!" He's such a joker. Expect this to polarise opinion just like all his other films.

"No more happy endings!" Lars von Trier announced at the pre-production press conference for Melancholia. Of course such statements are part and parcel of the Danish director's schtick, which only serves to make us all laugh and await the next film.
The debut trailer for his latest work should be called a disasterpiece given that it's a story centred on the destruction of our planet. It was launched today via the official website. Melancholia will be having its world premiere at the 64th Cannes Film Festival next month.
Along with the trailer we've got the UK press release with info on the plot, its UK release date and distribution details. Can't wait for this one.

CANNES -- Anders Morgenthaler is one angry cartoonist. The multi-talented Dane, among other things, creates and directs children's TV shows, writes and illustrates children's books and with a partner produces a daily comic strip with a large cult following. His first animated feature, Princess -- he previously made an acclaimed short "The Killing of a Japanese Photographer" -- is a revenge tragedy that attacks the porno industry with fierce animus.
Morgenthaler views this business not only as a monstrously abusive exploitation of people and their bodies, but the height of anti-eroticism and anti-art that demands a complete emotional disconnect between viewer and performer, a media that turns human beings into abstraction.
Princess makes a terrific festival film, but with careful promotion as an adult cartoon the film could enjoy a healthy theatrical career in select markets and make a strong DVD.
Morgenthaler certainly doesn't mind pushing hot buttons involving sex, violence and religion. His simple tale, written with Mette Heeno, has August, a clergyman, return home from missionary work following the death of his sister Christina, a porn star who goes by the name The Princess, due to drug abuse. He spirits her 5-year-old daughter Mia away from her prostitute guardian to his sparsely furnished flat where he promises to nurture and protect her.
As the two shed their initial wariness with each other, August comes to realize the child has also suffered abuse from her mother's "friends." Livid over this and the continuing exploitation of his dead sister's images, August issues a warning to the Paradise Lust porno company: Either destroy all videos and images of his sister or he will do it himself.
August's crusade against porn quickly assumes the manic dimensions of Travis Bickle's rampage against pimps in Taxi Driver, a bloodlust that sweeps both him and Mia into a maelstrom of violence that reminds us of the proverb that he who seeks revenge becomes the first victim.
The 1.2 million film takes its inspiration from Japanese anime, where drawings of locations and backgrounds are clean, clear and mostly static, bathed in complementary, mood-setting colors. The characters are modeled after the actors who play them. Blond and angular Thure Lindhardt plays August while the Princess is played by the young, innocent-faced Stine Fischer Christensen. Mira Hilli Moller Hallund is the feisty, dark-haired Mia.
Eighty percent of the film is animation with live-action video, supposedly taken by August in earlier days, fill us in on the backstory of their parents' deaths and the guilt the sibling feel, which probably lead to such extreme career choices.
Morgenthaler, who is 33, possesses a young man's anger and vehemence in his own crusade against porn. His images are stark and he is clearly unapologetic about taking such a strong point of view that shines through every image. This is an impressive feature debut for the Camera d'or jury to consider.
