Trop précieux pour être prêtés, et souvent filmés en train d’être peints, les tableaux vus dans les biopics de peintres célèbres ne sont pas les originaux : derrière chacun se cache un habile « faussaire » du grand écran.
La Classe américaine : Le Grand Détournement, ou simplement La Classe américaine, est un téléfilm français écrit et réalisé par Michel Hazanavicius et Dominique Mézerette, diffusé pour la première fois en 1993. Il s'agit du troisième et dernier volet d'une série de téléfilms intitulée Le Grand Détournement.
Le film est un #mashup (mélange d'images d'archives) composé d' #extraits de #films de la Warner Bros. réalisés entre 1952 et 1980, ainsi que d'un bref extrait d'un #épisode de la #série télévisée française Maigret de 1992 (avec Bruno Cremer), tous ces extraits étant montés et doublés afin de créer un film inédit.
Le #film est une #parodie qui réinterprète les scènes et #dialogues des #acteurs des films qu'il utilise, formant ainsi des situations loufoques et permettant de suivre une #histoire au ton délirant et #comique.

The film was directed by Ukrainian photographer, photojournalist, and filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov, who was working for the Associated Press as Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The documentary records the Russian siege of Mariupol in Donetsk Oblast from the perspective of Chernov and his crew during the first weeks of the full-scale invasion. The film comprises 30 hours of footage they shot in Mariupol amid the siege.

A film festival in London is showcasing films that raise awareness about Palestinian narratives and stories beyond conflict.Al Jazeera’s Sonia Gallego report...#Gaza #Gazaairstrikes #Gazabombardment #Gazahospitals #Gazahumanitarianaid #London #Palestiniannarratives #aljazeera #aljazeeraenglish #aljazeeralive #aljazeeravideo #aljazeeraEnglish #aljazeeralatest #aljazeeralive #aljazeeralivenews #filmfestiva #films #latestnews #newsheadlines
London Palestinian film festival: Event promotes alternative Palestinian stories
The problems encountered in the distribution of Turn of the Tide were addressed when Rank discovered that the people who controlled the British film industry had ties to the American movie industry and that for all practical purposes he was shut out of his own domestic market. American films occupied 80% of British screen time during the era before World War II.
In 1935 Rank arrived at a solution to his distribution problems. Because the middlemen controlled the distribution pipeline from production to exhibition, he decided to buy a large part of both the distribution and exhibition systems. He began by forming a partnership with film maker C. M. Woolf to form General Film Distributors, which in 1936 was incorporated in Rank's General Cinema Finance Corporation but continued to handle all distribution for the Rank organisation until 1955, when it was renamed J. Arthur Rank Film Distributors.#films #movies #art #uk #usa #culture #hegemony #culturalhegemony #rank #history ">

Fifth and sixth Love and Anarchy festival days. Managed to make ten out of twelve of the films I had bought tickets for. Kind of annoying to miss the few, but that happens.
Same time next year?
Warning: spoilers!
Bambino is a motorcycle courier in Lagos. During a delivery he meets Bawa, a wannabe photographer who takes his picture. The pair develop a complex relationship of mutual interest through their time together with Bambino taking Bawa around Lagos to photograph.
Throughout the film we see the conflict of Bambino realizing he may be gay and rejecting those thoughts multiple times during the film. Female friend Ifeyinwa is caught in the middle, with feelings for Bambino, who ends up using her to test whether he is gay or not. In the end, even at the risk of suffering violence for being gay, Bambino finds what is important to him and accepts his feelings for a man.
A well produced film with lots of pretty photographic shots of Lagos while taking the journey of discovery of ones preferences and learning to accept ones feelings.
Missed this documentary about photography and film due to not feeling to well Saturday night and wanting to sleep a bit late. Boo :(
What if there was a machine that allowed you to see future radio and TV broadcasts? Invented by two sisters at the beginning of world war 2, the machine seems like the perfect way to defeat Nazi Germany. Soon after they realize they've erased David Bowie, they end up using the machine to help sink the U-boat fleet, thinking it will provide a great victory, but at the cost of an American civilian liner being sunk. Unfortunately, this causes the US to not enter the war and the eventual invasion of the UK by Nazi forces.
How do you undo all this? You make a documentary about it, air it and hope that you view it in history, thus avoiding the whole mess from happening. Messing with time is easy, right?
Cute very indie scifi film with lots of repurposed historical footage showing Britain under Nazi rule. Unfortunately the footage of cheering crowds would have likely been very true if an invasion had succeeded.

Fourth Love and Anarchy film festival day, two screenings.
Warning, spoilers!
Farm equipment. Farm animals. Farm buildings. Perfectly positioned pretty cinematic shots of all those. This is "The quiet migration".
Carl is an orphan adopted from Korea into a family in rural Denmark. Growing up on the farm, he is constantly faced with a feeling of not belonging, reinforced by racist rhetoric in the small rural community.
An asteroid falls. Or is it something to indicate trouble to come, crisis of identity and past? I think if it was intended to be an asteroid maybe the film makers should have consulted someone on what kind of craters rocks that smash into the Earth leave. Or their likely composition and thus weight. But maybe asteroids don't float around in rooms anyway.
The whole film builds up to Carl needing to make a decision. Will he choose to inherit the family farm in the Danish countryside or possibly explore other possibilities in life. I think it was pretty clear which one he would be choosing, and it makes a good ending to the film. I just hope he talks to the girl.
Slovakian forests sounds like a great setting for a film about witches. And there is a lot of beautiful forest scenery and small village charm. Like wife and kid beating men kind of charm. And enough superstition to burn people alive. Are there any witches though? The answer probably lies in whether there were any witches during the times when they were commonly burned alive, in the darkest times of European history.
This film does the rare thing of keeping you on your toes at all times throughout the film. Waiting for the spells to come out, waiting for the evil men to be turned into toads. Spoiler: this is not a fantasy film. Things get a bit magical at times, but we don't really get told whether it's the witches at play or not. There is beauty and horror going through the whole film, enough to keep one constantly focused on the screen. Not yawning and wondering when the film will end is always a good positive sign of a good production.
Third Love and Anarchy film festival screening, only one today.
Caution, spoilers!
It's the year 2123. Planet Earth has died. Apparently either the last piece of humanity is the domed city of Budapest, or at least nothing else is mentioned, with the main characters pondering at one time whether there are other cities. Clearly not the most free of societies then.
Strict rules are necessary to keep humanity alive, says the co-founder of the miracle of Budapest. These strict rules include a set 50 year life span and controlled reproduction. After 50 years, your body becomes the property of the city. There are hints throughout the beginning of the film on the usage of the bodies. The people of the city need to eat right?
After the loss of their son, 32 old Nora doesn't want to live anymore and takes a voluntary implantation (where the implant is normally injected to your heart when you turn 50). When her husband finds out he makes the amazingly quick transformation from "fanboy of the system" to "my wife is special and needs saving, screw the city".
A rescue plan comes together with some amount of ease, and soon our characters are driving around the wasteland to a mystical place where Nora can be saved. During the journey we see how the human bodies are cultivated into food and some history is also shared.
"White plastic sky" is an interesting take on the dystopia and collapse of society -topic. The animation is striking and dream like, a beautiful film to watch. There are some weird plot holes and the whole ending of the film felt a bit strange, also I'd suggest drinking a large cup of coffee before as the music alone is something to make one sleepy. Overall an interesting story on what the cost of driving the planet to death could be, and the struggle of letting go. From your loved ones, and from the continuation of society at whatever cost.
My second day of Love and Anarchy film festival. Initally I thought I had two screenings. Then I realized I have three, my calendar just managed to hide one of them. Then I fucked up and missed the last one 😁
Warning: There may be spoilers ahead.
Everything about this screamed "go watch me". Time travel, scifi, "weird", being the selling labels. Sure, that's for me! It was weird. I think time travel is probably one of the hardest science fiction themes to get right - probably because "right" is a rather hard to define when it comes to time travel. It's not like we've actually had working time travel solutions, and the whole thing is a bit of a mindfuck.
Timecrimes did the "weird" part really well, but I'm afraid otherwise it felt a bit of a half-attempt. Just so many things that made the plot hard to follow, and the casting wasn't particularly impressive. The plot did try to pull through towards the end though, but left quite a bit of "wait what" holes in the process. Maybe it's just the time travel topic being hard.
Short film collections from Love and Anarchy are always a nice thing to give a chance to. This collection, with films related to love and sexual desire container the following:
A crush and sexual tension can happen anywhere, even at a supermarket. This short film follows a pair hooking up at a supermarket, spending the remaining day there being silly to each other and taking a break having sex in an elevator. In the end it is revealed "James" has a girlfriend and they separate after paying for their purchases just before the store closes.
OK it was more interesting than I described it. Sweet story of young love.
This short film was more of a documentary (I think?) of a person with the aim of creating non-phallic dildos, while throughout the film we also hear the story of (I forgot the name of the person) from history who had enjoyed dildos in a coven and then her girlfriend got judged by the Inquisition. I'm afraid the pace was rather slow and 16 minutes felt like a long time, maybe I was just tired.
A woman is spending days at a beach side hotel with her two daughters. The daughters feel full of life, while the woman feels sad and lonely, and over protective regarding especially one of her daughters, who seems to have some special mental qualities needing extra care.
Luckily the day is saved by local hotel staff hunk Mark, who shows her life is all good by giving her a quick fuck on the beach. I think that was the point of the film.
A trans prostitute decides to hit on a seemingly straight guy who seems to be having relationship trouble. Mutual interest develops, though in the end, neither believes love is in the air. This was actually a really well filmed cute story with lots of beautiful scenes, though the story didn't have a lot in it.
I missed this one, as I had to leave to run (cycle) to my next movie, a 35 minute biking trip away as somehow I planned things poorly. A nice bike ride later...
A samurai film by Takeshi Kitano. Something I was really looking forward to. A furious bike ride later, walking towards the theater at the last minute I realized the film is actually screening in a completely different place, like 10 km away. Somehow I had completely misread and with the laws of physics making it rather impossible for me to move my bike 10km in one minute, this one had to be missed :(
It was probably good!
First day of Love and Anarchy film festival over! Three movies. Three completely different movies. Half an hour between each movie. My mind is pretty mushed up right now.
This post may include spoilers regarding some of the festival movies, be warned!
I love Bill Nighy! There is just something about him that is really special. His expressions. Probably the roles he is cast to.
"Living" is a heart warming story of a man (Bill Nighy) who is given six months to live due to cancer. Realizing he has lived his life sitting at an office, wasting both his time and opportunity, he finds the chance to do some good before leaving the world.
I don't think there was a single mean character in this film. Which is probably why it was so heart warming, even the the son and his wife, who initially felt mean towards the cancer doomed father, eventually seemed that they had been distanced by the coldness of the father, rather than being mean themselves.
This film wont leave you sad after watching it.
Do you feel disconnected from the brutalities of the world? Are you failing to understand what it is like to be engulfed by war? Are you generally wanting to stick knives into your heart in a dark room (ie movie theater)?
Then you've come to the right place. "Rebel" tells the story of a Belgian muslim family who gets engulfed in the Syrian conflict. Bad choices, being in the wrong place at the wrong time and a society that doesn't care, leads to two brothers and their mother being swallowed by ISIS. And like all war in the world, this film does not have a happy ending. There are no happy endings in war outside of Hollywood films. This is why you need to see this film, this is why history needs to be taught.
As films go, this was probably the hardest thing to watch for a long time. It was useless telling myself it's just a film. This stuff happens all the time, in Syria, in Ukraine, in areas of conflict all around the world. Somewhat confusingly the film had dance scenes. They didn't take away any of the pain in the story.
After spending half an hour after the previous film sulking in dark corners, pondering whether humanity should actually be given a chance, thankfully my next film set things straight back into happy land. Forget the war and the ugliness of humanity, welcome kung-fu with a bollywood touch!
"Polite Society" tells of two sisters, one arranged to marriage, one intent on stopping it. Well, not completely arranged, the other sister actually has fallen in love and wants to marry. Our wannabe martial arts enthusiast little sister smells foul play, and the truth is weirder than anyone would guess. Lots of fighting, cool moves and humour ensues, ending with a standing ovation at the cinema. And this film does have a happy ending, of course.
Really recommend this film if it comes near you, you wont be disappointed :)
Next two films on Wednesday, tomorrow is Näpit irti! day.
