2009 Rome Film Festival Awards
2009 Rome Film Festival: Oct. 15-23, 2009
&#160;

Danish-born filmmaker Nicolo Donato&#8217;s feature-film debut,  Brotherhood revolves around a group of Danish neo-Nazis, with particular focus on two members of this group of violent, xenophobic, anti-gay bigots: newbie Lars (Thure Lindhardt), who has been recently discharged from the army, and  Jimmy (David Dencik), one of the leaders of the gang. Things get complicated after Lars moves in with Jimmy and discovers that he feels more than a mere brotherly attachment to his mentor. Even more shocking, Jimmy realizes that he feels something quite special for Lars as well. Now, what to do next? Curiously, three years ago another movie featuring neo-nazis, Shane Meadows&#8216; This Is England, won [...]]]></description>

2009 Nastri d&#8217;Argento
National Union of Italian Film Journalists&#8217; 2009 Nastri d&#8217;Argento (Silver Ribbons) nominations: May 29, 2009
2009 Nastri d&#8217;Argento winners: Taormina Film Festival, Sicily, on June 27, 2009
(&#8221;*&#8221; denotes the winner in each category)
&#160;

Toni Servillo (center) as Italian prime-minister Giulio Andreotti in Paolo Sorrentino&#8217;s scathing political comedy-drama Il Divo. At the Nastri d&#8217;Argento awards ceremony, Sorrentino remarked that if he were to make Il Divo today, &#8220;and revolving around a woman, it&#8217;d certainly be about Veronica Lario.&#8221; Former actress Lario is right-wing prime-minister Silvio Berlusconi&#8217;s soon-to-be former wife, who recently filed for divorce while accusing her family-values proponent husband of being much too interested in some very young women.

Best Director 
  Francesca Archibugi (Questione di cuore)
  Pupi Avati [...]]]></description>

At Firstshowing.net, Alex Billington on À Deriva / Adrift (above, with Laura Neiva), screened in the Un Certain Regard sidebar:
&#34;I think I stumbled across a big Cannes sleeper hit. From the beaches of Brazil comes Adrift, known as À Deriva in Portuguese, the third film from Brazilian director Heitor Dhalia. I&#8217;m going to say right up front &#8212; following in the footsteps of City of God director Fernando Meirelles, Dhalia is the next great Brazilian filmmaker on the verge of breaking out. Adrift is his calling card, a gorgeous family drama about a beautiful young  girl  and her parents. It&#8217;s not a masterpiece, but it is  definitely one of the better films I&#8217;ve seen here that offers [...]]]></description>

Manohla Dargis on Gaspar Noé&#8217;s Enter the Void, in the New York Times:
&#34;Although he remains dedicated to shaking up viewer s, to getting under their skins and into their nervous systems, Mr. Noé [above, top photo] has mellowed. Despite its unpromising title, Enter  the Void, his entry at this year’s festival, is an exceptional work, though less  because of its story, acting or any of the usual critical markers. What  largely distinguishes it, beyond the stunning cinematography, is that  this is the work of an artist who’s trying to show us something we  haven’t seen before, even while he liberally samples images and ideas  from Stanley Kubrick and the entirety of American avant-garde cinema.&#34;

Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian:
&#34;Heath Ledger takes a poignant final bow in Terry Gilliam&#8217;s loopy, sweet-natured but madly self-indulgent fantasia The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, showing here  at the Cannes film festival out of competition. Halfway through shooting, Ledger had made a  desperately sad early exit, so the director ingeniously re-invented his  character as a series of personae. Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp gamely stepped into the breach.
&#8230;
&#34;When Gilliam shoots off into his surreal wonderland, his film has a  kind of helium-filled jollity and spectacle. &#8230;  But the film&#8217;s convoluted curlicues  are tiring, insisting too loudly on how &#8216;imaginative&#8217; everything is.  And when it descends into the real world – Lucy [...]]]></description>

Dave Calhoun in Time Out London, via David Hudson&#8217;s   The Daily:
&#34;For quite some time at the beginning of Michael Haneke&#8217;s  latest film, which is a two-and-a-half hour parable of political and  social ideas set entirely in a north German village in 1913 and 1914,  you wonder what you&#8217;re watching, how its disparate parts hang together  and what it all might mean. More than ever, the playful, challenging, sometimes shocking director of Hidden, Funny Games and Time of the Wolf  solidly resists answering the &#8216;what&#8217;s it all about?&#8217; question and makes  you work hard to make sense of what you&#8217;re seeing. As in Code Unknown,  he resists focusing on one story or [...]]]></description>

Peter Bradshaw on Bright Star (with Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw, above) in The Guardian:
&#34;Jane Campion has put herself in line for her second Palme d&#8217;Or here at the Cannes film festival with a film which I think could be the best of her career; an affecting  and deeply considered study of the last years in the short life of John Keats,  and the ecstasy of loss which suffuses his love affair with Fanny  Brawne – a love thwarted not due to illness, but to a pernicious web of  money worries, social scruples and irrelevant male loyalties.&#34;

Derek Elley on Looking for Eric (above, Ken Loach and Eric Cantona) in Variety:
&#34;&#8230; helmer Ken Loach and writer Paul Laverty&#8217;s ninth feature together is  a curious hybrid: Three movies &#8212; boilerplate, socially aware Loach;  personal fantasy; romantic comedy &#8212; wrap around a central core of a  hopeless soccer fanatic who&#8217;s given a second chance to sort out his  life. As in many of Laverty&#8217;s scripts, problems of overall tone and  character development aren&#8217;t solved by Loach&#8217;s easygoing direction,  though when it works, Eric has many incidental pleasures.&#34;

Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds

Richard Corliss/Mary Corliss in Time:
&#34;&#8230; Inglourious Basterds — first word as in &#34;glower,&#34; second as in &#34;turds&#34; — is an alternative history of World War II from the writer-director of Pulp Fiction, the Palme d&#8217;Or winner 15 years ago. As with all of his recent work — the two Kill Bill movies and Death Proof — Basterds draws portraits of strong women facing down evil men; and in Shoshanna  (Mélanie Laurent) and Third Reich screen star Bridget von Hammersmark  (Diane Kruger) he&#8217;s created two of his fullest female portraits. But Basterds is long and, for the hypercharged auteur, surprisingly wan. It has to be declared a misfire.&#34;

Antichrist: Filmmaker Lars von Trier (top); Charlotte Gainsbourg, Willem Dafoe (bottom).
In this pyshcological horror-drama, a married couple struggles to come to terms with the accidental death of their son.

Wendy Ide in The [London] Times:
&#34;Von Trier has moved away from the sparse, rough and ready work of the Dogme   era and embraced a stylised and visually sumptuous look for Antichrist.   The movie is packed with arresting and atmospheric images, some of which   you’ll wish you could permanently erase from your memory.
&#34;If von Trier’s issues with female sexuality have been evident in previous   films, particularly Breaking the Waves and Dogville, in Antichrist he ups the ante, constructing a gender war of nuclear intensity between [...]]]></description>

Broken Embraces: Pedro Almodóvar on the set (top); Penélope Cruz as the heroine (bottom).
In the mystery-melodrama, a  director and his female star begin a passionate love affair that leads to all sorts of trouble.

Wendy Ide in   The [London] Times:
&#34;Certainly, it is unmistakably an Almodovar film. Nobody else does   richly-textured melodrama quite like him; nobody else can encourage such   overwrought performances without unbalancing the film; nobody else shoots   Penélope Cruz with a reverence which borders on fan-worship. But what’s   missing here is the warmth and emotional honesty that infuses Almodovar’s   most successful features. What’s missing is, arguably, Almodovar himself.&#34;

Inspired by real-life events, the World War II drama John Rabe won the 2009 German Film Academy&#8217;s Lola for best film. Directed by Florian Gallenberger, John Rabe tells the story of a German businessman (best actor winner Ulrich Tukur) credited with saving more than 200,000 Chinese during the Nanjing (then Nanking) massacre of 1937-38. 
Additionally, John Rabe, which has been a box-office disappointment in Germany, won Lolas for best production design (Tu Ju Hua) and best costume design (Lisy Christl). I believe it&#8217;s safe to say that  Gallenberger&#8217;s film will be Germany&#8217;s submission for the 2010 best foreign-language film Academy Award. And that it&#8217;ll land an Oscar nomination.

The best director Lola went to Andreas Dresen for the popular [...]]]></description>

&#160;

In Laurent Cantet&#8217;s Palme d&#8217;Or winner The Class, teacher-author François Bégaudeau (who also wrote the book on which the film is based) stars as a teacher coping with students in a tough  Parisian suburb mostly inhabited by African and Arab immigrants. Chosen as the best French film of the year by the French film critics, The Class has also won a Spirit Award for best foreign-language film and is up for an Academy Award in that same category.

Derek Elley reviews Stephen Frears&#8216; Chéri in Variety:
&#34;Like a passable bottle of champagne, Cheri fizzes and slides down quite easily but lacks real body and doesn&#8217;t really hit the spot. Driven along by Alexandre Desplat&#8217;s busy score, scrumptious duds by Consolata Boyle, pastel-tinged widescreen lensing by Darius Khondji and, most of all, by Kathy Bates&#8216; [right] scene-stealing turn, this Stephen Frears-Christopher Hampton adaptation of Colette&#8217;s famous Belle Epoque tale of romance between an experienced older courtesan and a spoiled youth [Rupert Friend, as the &#34;Cheri&#34; of the title] is, like Michelle Pfeiffer&#8217;s lead perf, short on real passion and emotion.&#34;

Here&#8217;s a rather different take on Chéri by The [London] Times&#8216; Stephen Dalton:

Kate Winslet on her The Reader character (via Agence France Presse):
&#34;I had to make her a human being. I  had to make her a woman who was capable of great love and affection and  warmth as well as the vulnerability and the shame that she feels. And  she also had to be a woman who had at least some level of courage,  certainly when she starts serving her prison sentence.&#34;

&#34;Quite a lot has been made of the love scenes and made of David [Kross]&#8217;s  age and he&#8217;s 18, he&#8217;s a young man, he&#8217;s extremely professional and he&#8217;s  absolutely brilliant in the film. For me, it was all  about making sure [...]]]></description>
