In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many musicians have used their platforms to try to deliver some much-needed relief. Some have donated money, others have announced benefit concerts — now, joining those efforts is a massive compilation album featuring 135 previously-unreleased tracks from artists like R.E.M., Jeff Tweedy & Karly Hartzman, Jason Isbell, Fleet Foxes, Waxahatchee, Sylvan Esso, and many more.
Titled Cardinals at the Window, the compilation was officially released today, and is now available to purchase on Bandcamp. Curated by three North Carolina natives — musician and community organizer Libby Rodenbough, New Commute founder David Walker, and music journalist Grayson Haver Currin — the album will raise funds for three organizations: Rural Organizing and Resilience, BeLoved Asheville, and the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina.
Across its 135 tracks, Cardinals at the Window features a combination of new recordings and previously-unreleased live tracks. In addition to the aforementioned artists, the compilation’s stacked lineup includes Mj Lenderman,...

Following its world premiere as the Berlin Film Festival opener, Francois Ozon’s “Peter von Kant” has been acquired by Strand Releasing for U.S. distribution.
Represented in international markets by Playtime, the critically acclaimed movie is inspired by Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s cult film “The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant,” with Denis Menochet playing the tormented filmmaker, opposite Isabelle Adjani, who stars as his muse.
Ozon previously told Variety that the movie was a “universal tale of passion, timely as ever” and “explores the relationships of domination, control and submission in the creative world.”
“Peter von Kant” marks Ozon’s sixth movie that played in competition at the Berlin Film Festival. He won the Silver Bear for his 2018 film, “By the Grace of God,” and “8 Women” 20 years ago. He also debuted “Water Drops on Burning Rocks,” another adaptation of a Fassbinder work, at the festival in 2000.

The only filmmaker to claim that he was at a covid edition (last year’s Summer of ’85) followed a post-pandemic edition Tout S’est Bien Passé (Everything Went Fine), this latest film proposes to not forget to laugh when we are ready to go…to Bern. François Ozon has been just about everyone on the fest circuit, from Berlin, to Venice or San Sebastian. Only his fourth time in comp, he came to Cannes with Swimming Pool (2003), Le Temps Qui Reste (2005), Young & Beautiful (2013) and L’Amant Double.

“Call Me by Your” what? François Ozon’s new film “Summer of 85,” based on the latest international trailer, looks to be the gay summer-of-love story to end them all. The queer romance, set in 1985, boasts a killer soundtrack including The Cure and Bananarama, gorgeous cinematography, a coastal setting, striped T-shirts, and, of course, a beautiful cast, led by French cinema favorites Félix Lefebvre, Benjamin Voisin, Philippine Velge, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, Melvil Poupaud, and Isabelle Nanty. Check out the latest international trailer below.
“Summer of 85” was originally set to world-premiere as part of the (canceled) 2020 Cannes Film Festival competition lineup.

An old man narrates the reason for visiting his native village. He takes us through this personal life which is about half the documetary’s content. The other half is left to the scenic hillocks and haunting music. A very unique way of expressing grief among the blooming flowers which warn of an approaching winter. Orhan Tekeoglu’s direction gets credit in bringing them all together and keeping the pace just right.

By the Grace of God
Francois Ozon’s eighteenth feature, By the Grace of God /Grâce à Dieu (previously known as Alexandre) promises to be one of the filmmaker’s most provocative exercises since his titles from the late 1990s. Revisiting a sex abuse scandal involving a Roman Catholic priest who was recently indicted after several victims filed lawsuits accusing him of abuse from 1986 to 1991, Ozon reunites with his Time to Leave (2005) and The Refuge (2009) star Melvil Poupaud who plays one of the three men who came forward.

Close-Up is a column that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Xavier Dolan's Laurence Anyways (2012) is showing March 18 - April 17, 2017 in the United States.In a 2012 interview, the great French actor Melvil Poupaud said of his meeting with Canadian wonderboy director Xavier Dolan in Laurence Anyways that it had been one of the great moments in his career. Poupaud had identified four directors that gave him the gift of transformative roles:Raúl Ruiz (in 1983’s City of Pirates, when the actor was only 10), Éric Rohmer (in 1996’s A Summer’s Tale), François Ozon (in 2005’s Time to Leave) and Dolan in what was then only the director’s third feature. Whether the Canadian will go down in history like the revered Ruiz and Rohmer or be more of a hit-and-miss journeyman like Ozon, only the future will be able to tell. But there is no denying that, ever since...

Editor's Note: Nathaniel previously reviewed Frantz at Tiff. Now with its Us release a week away, here's Eric with a second look.
Frantz, director François Ozon’s most recent picture, opens in limited release in one week and is also part of Lincoln Center’s current "Rendezvous with French Cinema" series. Ozon is one of France’s most profilic filmmakers (he makes a film almost every year), and he’s given us many fine pictures, including the Charlotte Rampling chillers Swimming Pool and Under the Sand, the actressy 8 Women, and his deepest film, Time to Leave. But Ozon has never made a film as ravishing and complete as Frantz.
This film, which was nominated for 11 César Awards and won the Cinematography prize at the ceremony, contains a simple story which keeps unfolding in complex and surprising ways....

Year 3, in publishing terms, has come for The Eleventh Doctor. A series that I haven’t exactly disliked, but not one I feel has been great either. Lacking a little of that timey-wimey magic, which for this incarnation is criminal indeed. So this issue sees the new creative team of Rob Williams and I.N.J Culbard come aboard, hopefully to inject some of that missing magic. Rob Williams work I know pretty well, from his UK comic work and his Marvel Comics stuff, so he seems a good fit for the book.
So what have The Doctor and Alice been up to since the major events of last issue? Did they get that rest and relaxation they earned? Er, no. We catch up with them being chased by the inhabitants of Britzit-247, a colony of...

Time to Leave: Alain Resnais’ Elegant Swan Song
Alain Resnais, that reluctant member of the French New Wave, passed away in March of 2014, not quite two months after the premiere of his last film, Life of Riley, at the Berlin Film Festival. Reaching its theatrical release, the film marks a graceful cap to an extraordinary filmography from a director that specialized in fragmented narratives that play with memory, time, perception, and the complicated nature of human interactions. His final film, while certainly more linear than many of his most famous works, is no exception to his exploration of time and the limited amount of it. Returning with several of his favorite key players, it’s the third Resnais adaptation of an Alan Ayckbourn play (originally titled Aimer, boire et chanter, which translates to Love, Drink and Sing), as charming as ever, presented with its stylized stage artifice.

Titan Books has provided us with an exclusive excerpt that sees Sebastian Pierse facing sinister seductions in 1700’s Ireland.

#36. Francois Ozon’s Just 17
Gist: For his fourteenth feature, Ozon has chosen to film from a closed set with a media blackout pertaining to the plot, only divulging that the film centers on a teenage girl’s sexuality. Also, the film will be structured in four seasons and four songs, which makes this project sound like a mix of Ozon’s 5X2 and 8 Women a la Catherine Breillat.
Prediction: It’s surprising to note that the Ozon has only competed once in the Main Competition, in 2003 for Swimming Pool. Charlotte Rampling returns to work with Ozon once again (she last worked with him in 2007’s Angel) as part of the supporting cast in this latest feature. Despite a domestic August release, we’re predicting Directors’ Fortnight for Just 17 (though he hasn’t premiered at Cannes since 2005 with Time to Leave, as he seems to prefer Venice, Toronto, and even Berlin...

François Ozon's new film, In the House, looks set to be his international breakthrough. But has the erstwhile enfant terrible fallen for the bourgeois values he once satirised?
François Ozon has been knocking out roughly a film a year since the late 1990s: some camp and frivolous (Sitcom, Potiche), others intense (5x2, Time to Leave), each one zesty and provocative. Occasionally he will make something truly exceptional: Under the Sand, starring Charlotte Rampling as a woman falling apart after the disappearance of her husband, was rightly considered a masterpiece by the late Ingmar Bergman.
But though Ozon has had commercial success in France, he is still chasing the sort of career-changing international breakthrough on a par with, say, Pedro Almodóvar's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown or Michael Haneke's Hidden. If there is any justice, his new film In the House will change that. It's a witty,...

But though Ozon has had commercial success in France, he is still chasing the sort of career-changing international breakthrough on a par with, say, Pedro Almodóvar's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown or Michael Haneke's Hidden. If there is any justice, his new film In the House will change that. It's a witty,...

He emerges from the snow flurries and the hubbub of the Paris traffic for our rendez-vous in the Grand Hotel swathed in a designer scarf, wound around his neck several times and finally flung theatrically over his shoulder. In The House (Dans La Maison) director François Ozon, 45, promptly orders a tea with honey for his sore throat and settles back in a capacious settee. He once tried to be an actor but found it did not suit his demons. He retired behind the camera instead.
His latest film combines the more mainstream comedy-drama of his biggest hits, 8 Women and Potiche with the sensibility of his smaller, more cerebral offerings, such as Time To Leave, The Refuge and Swimming Pool, which also dealt with a writer and the person whose life they transform, leading to a blurring of fact and fiction.

Le Quattro Volte; The Beaver; Potiche; Bobby Fischer Against the World
The greatest problem with Le Quattro Volte (2010, New Wave, U) is figuring out how to describe it in a manner that doesn't sound either fantastically off-putting, unbearably pretentious or just plain boring. Calling it a "near-silent Italian goat farming film", for example, clearly does director Michelangelo Frammartino's extraordinary vision few favours, as does highlighting its central concern with archaic methods of charcoal production in Calabria that have been passed down from generation to generation. Labelling it a "meditation on life, the universe and everything" is even worse (this has nothing in common with Malick's Tree of Life), particularly when one adds to the mix an underlying thesis about the transmigration of souls. One sublimely comic scene – involving a dog, a van and a piece of wood – could be compared to those allegedly "unstaged" clips from You've Been Framed,...

Liberia boasts Africa's first female elected head of state. But it also has one of the highest rates of violence against women in the world. Here, Emma Thompson and her adopted son Tindy Agaba, a former child soldier, share their diaries of an intimate visit to the people and projects that are empowering the country's daughters

Tindy I left Garden City, Cairo, where I have been working with refugees, at 5am yesterday. Africa is a funny old world. To go to Liberia from Cairo one has to go to Europe first and then get a connecting flight back to Africa!
In the lounge at Brussels Airport, I bump into George Weah, the former AC Milan player and world footballer of the year who was also an ex-presidential aspirant in Liberia. He hasn't changed at all, except that his beard is becoming grey.

‘Comeback’ or ‘controversial’ are not words you would readily associate with French actress Catherine Deneuve. She’s never been terribly hip, thank God, and has been consistent in popping up on the big screen year in and year out. But her career did go through a period of slouching in the past decade, as Deneuve seemed to be lining up one uninspiring movie role after another. There were some courageous choices, such as “Je Veux Voir,” a documentary in which she travels to the parts of Southern Lebanon that were the hardest hit during the brief war of 2006--she is shown taking in the sights in various painfully quiet close-ups--and more conventional ones such such as Arnaud Desplechin’s “A christmas tale” (2008) in which Deneuve played a cancer-struck mother hosting her family during Christmas, tearful rivalries and all. Both films were shown in Cannes, as are most of Deneuve's films,...

A special Monday edition of Jersey Shore will do strange things to you. Like make you get up at 5:30 the next day to make sense of all the hilarious Jersey Shore quotes.
In all seriousness, though, MTV. Stop. Do not do this again.
Even our favorite guilty pleasure needs to be rationed out a little. Two episodes in a week? Not sure I have the mental capacity to handle this again come Thursday.
Snooki. One word says so much.
That said, this was one of the show's better episodes. It was right in the wheelhouse, with great one-liners, bizarre terminology, drunken debauchery and promiscuity.
That's what Jersey Shore is all about. Disgusting, yes. But what it's all about.
The tide finally turned for Sammi and Ronnie. In short, Sammi's distrust of Ronnie was eclipsing her hatred of Snooki. That b!tch So turned them against each other.
Snooki was in rare form,...

Watching his new film Hideaway, it’s hard to believe that director François Ozon was once considered an enfant terrible, a prolific young purveyor of sexually charged thrillers and dramas like Sea The Sea, Criminal Lovers, and Water Drops On Burning Rocks, or garish experiments like Sitcom. Ozon’s insinuating 2000 character piece Under The Sand signaled a new maturity, affirmed by intelligent but forgettable films like 5 x 2 and Time To Leave, but who’s looking for an enfant terrible to mature? (It should be noted that 2007’s Angel, his inspired goof on David O. Selznick ...

François Ozon has carved a place for himself in French mainstream cinema as a gay film-maker who appeals to well-heeled, middle-class heterosexual audiences. In Time to Leave, his last picture to cross the Channel, a handsome gay photographer (Melvil Poupaud) comes to terms with his imminent death from a rapidly metastasising cancer and ends on a summer beach on the Atlantic coast. In The Refuge, Poupard plays Louis, a middle-class dropout who ODs in the opening reel from tainted heroin in the family's smart Parisian apartment, alongside his pregnant girlfriend, Mousse. He dies, she survives. Awaiting the birth of their child, the listless, affectless Mousse spends the summer at a house on the Atlantic coast, lent to her by a dodgy old former lover. There, she's joined by Louis's gay brother, Paul, who, like everyone else in the neighbourhood (including the girl herself and the lens of Ozon's camera), is...

Plus Nph calls out Pink Satan, the Beekman Boys will be fabulous again, Bryan Safi's nearly naked cowboy.
Happy birthday to Aiden James
Today is a lot of things - Sequential Date Day (08.09.10), and also the birthday to out hottie singer Aiden James, who spent the weekend on Fire Island, and when he stumbled down stairs, he found three shirtless bearded boys cooking breakfast. Oh, the life of a rockstar! Planet Green has renewed The Fabulous Beekman Boys for a second season. I'll admit it, after watching three episodes, I didn't think their relationship would survive the first season. But at least we get more Farmer John. The folks over at Consumerist break down the true meaning of the Target and Best Buy donations to Minnesota Forward and anti-gay politicians.They ponder what it means in a larger context, and how this is just the tip of the iceberg with corporate donations.

Like so many of François Ozon's films, Le Refuge (The Refuge) is a deceptively simple tale, slowly paced with subtle, unshowy direction. Mousse (Isabelle Carré) and Louis (Melvin Poupaud) are a wealthy couple, in love, but addicted to heroin. When Louis suddenly dies of an overdose, Mousse finds herself alone and unexpectedly pregnant with his child. Rejected by his disapproving parents, Mousse takes refuge in a country house owned by a blind ex-lover she met in her teens (yes, I know). Leading an isolated life, she grieves alone and takes solace in the peace, until the arrival of Louis's gay brother Paul (Louis-Ronan Choisy) complicates her calm existence.
It's quickly clear that Ozon isn't concerned with the intricacies of drug addiction in the manner of Trainspotting or its ilk. Avoiding the stereotypes, Ozon shows us a very human, very normal, educated couple who have for whatever reason fallen into habitual drug use.

Strand Releasing are once again teaming up with the prolific French filmmaker (they last worked with Francois Ozon on Time to Leave). Plans are for a Spring release. Looking back on this title, I wouldn't call it your typical comeback moment for Ozon, but sometimes a simple, one note number can make waves and Le Refuge certainly did back at Fall film festivals such as San Sebastian and Toronto. Mousse and Louis are young, beautiful, rich and in love. But drugs have invaded their lives. One day they overdose, and Louis dies. Mousse survives, but soon learns she’s pregnant. Feeling lost, she runs away to a house far from Paris. Several months later, Louis’ brother joins her in her refuge. - Strand Releasing are once again teaming up with the prolific French filmmaker (they last worked with Francois Ozon on Time to Leave).

Films on the cutting edge. That's how I would describe the 50 movies on this list. While some moviegoers may find it an 'alien' experience to refer to sub-titles in understanding what's happening on the big screen, a good number of audiences are totally enjoying the different and often surprising take by many foreign filmmakers, nothwithstanding the language barrier.
Content-wise, the 50 movies feature stories about war and peace, love and romance, family affairs, coming-of-age tales, cultural and religious diversity, social issues (including prostitution and abortion) and personal - celebrating life or facing death with dignity. Coverage-wise, tMF list down many of the best foreign films from 2000 until last year from the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and about 15 other countries in Europe, North and Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

This is surely for fans of the director who made the cult classic film Cashback. A sold mix of the romantic and the mundane that made use of Ellis’ unique visual style to make of all things a supermarket a visual treat. He hasn’t lost that visual eye he now gets his hands into a horror film. The film is The Broken. You can check out the trailers and clips from the movie below. The cast of the film includes the underused Lena Heady whose is known for her roles in 300 and the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Another actor who is also known for his performances in The Visitor and Six Feet Under Richard Jenkins is also part of the cast. Melvil Paupad is also part of the cast he is known for his performance in Time To Leave.
