skimpole Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Here are the films from 2008 that were mentioned that I have not seen as yet. A Christmas Tale with Jean-Paul Roussillion, Mathieu Amalric, Catherine Deneuve, Anne Consigny, Chiara Mastroianni and Emmanuelle Devos Gomorrah with Salvatore Cantalupo, Salvatore Abruzzese and Gianfelice Imparato Hunger with Michael Fassbender and Liam Cunningham 35 Shots of Rum with Alex Descas and Mati Diop Wendy and Lucy with Michelle Williams and Wally Dalton A Christmas Tale got nominations in all four categories from me. Deneuve plays the matriarch of a well off family that suffers from a number of problems. One is that decades earlier one of the children suffered from cancer, and another of the children was conceived in order to save him, only for this not to work. Now Denueve is suffering from cancer and is looking for a blood relative to provide the bone marrow that may save her. Roussillion plays her husband, Amalric her older son, viewed as the black sheep of the family, especially by his sister played by Consigny. Mastroianni plays the wife of the son conceived to save his brother, who wonders whether she should have been with her husband's cousin. Devos plays Amalric's Jewish girlfriend who drops for a time. To quote from Philip Lopate's essay on the film for the Criterion Collection: "In the eight films he’s made since 1991, Arnaud Desplechin has been developing a visionary world, a personal style that goes against the grain of standard cinematic practice today. He’s a master of ensemble mise-en-scène and a brilliant director of actors, and his interest tends to fan out over many characters, whose mixed strengths and flaws jolt the viewer out of easy identification with any of them, compelling instead a more complex, deferred, time-capsule-release sympathy. This environmental, novelistically long approach, with its digressive and converging plotlines, is admirably suited to the family romance, a specialty of Desplechin’s, with A Christmas Tale his greatest example.... "What sets A Christmas Tale apart from any holiday film in memory, however, is its technique. Desplechin has always been an immensely skillful and vigorous visual stylist who stops just short of making a fetish of the pictorial. Here he employs a catchall of self-conscious devices that draw our attention to the film’s fabrication: chapter headings, actors directly addressing the camera, iris shots, split screens, shadow puppets representing the characters, multiple first-person voice-overs, and a third-person omniscient narrator. Oddly enough, none of these devices have the Brechtian alienation effect of taking us out of the action in order to induce critical reflection; rather, they are shortcuts that propel us further into the naturalistic narrative. They are all warming, amusing modes of storytelling, and very New Wave (think of Truffaut’s high-speed openings in Shoot the Piano Player and Jules and Jim). Their ultimate effect is to keep us off balance. The same could be said for the director’s approach here to individual shots, a stutter-step technique that includes short pans and tracks, multiple takes of actions that last only a few seconds, and a good deal of cutting. The aesthetic of deep-focus, long-duration takes that Desplechin developed in earlier films has been jettisoned, replaced by the visual equivalent of turntable scratching (as we see Ivan do as DJ of the town dance). And if the visuals keep us jarred, the soundtrack’s astounding variety, from Vivaldi to raga to Cecil Taylor, induces another sort of disorientation." Gommorah is an Italian movie that tells a number of interweaving stories about the Camorra, the organized crime institution as ruthless and powerful as the more famous Mafia, who ruthless dominate Naples. One of these subplots include the two young men, who I singled out as runner-ups. These two cocky teenagers think they can make their way into the glories of violent crime out of sheer brashness. It's not too much of a spoiler to suggest that it's not that easy. Hunger helped introduce the world to both the director Steve McQueen and the actor Michael Fassbender. It's about the IRA hunger strikes in 1980-1981 in order to regain political status for IRA prisoners. Ultimately Fassbender, who plays the strike leader Bobby Sands, dies (after being elected to Parliament) as do several other prisoners. Apparently the British tactfully made some concessions after the strike ended. One crucial scene is a 17 1/2 minute long take where Fassbender argues the morality of hunger strikes with a Catholic priest played by Liam Cunnigham. I nominated both actors. 35 Shots of Rum is a movie directed by Claire Denis. It deals with a widower (he's a train driver) and his close relationship with his grown daughter. Alex Descas got my fifth nomination for best actor. The title refers to the beverage he drinks when his daughter is successfully married at the end of the movie. To quote from Peter Bradshaw's review from The Guardian: "The action of Denis's film, and the themes and ideas attendant on it, are never forced or directed in the conventional way; she manages the succession of scenes in a miraculously understated style so that the audience is immersed in the characters' world and comes to intuit their feelings, and appreciate what is at stake, without having things spelt out. Denis has a brilliant wordless sequence in which Lionel's family group, stymied by a car breakdown, take shelter from the driving rain in a cafe, a stopover that turns into an impromptu party: we see the principals' hidden emotional lives coming to the surface." I'm not the best fan of Kelly Reichardt movies, but Wendy and Lucy benefits from a compelling plot. Michelle Williams plays Wendy is traveling in Alaska with her dog Lucy. Wendy is clearly fairly poor, and when her car breaks down in one town, she ends up losing her dog. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraSmith Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Two British period dramas are based on historical characters, whose looks are only known from paintings. Notice the similarity between the two screenshots. The Other Boleyn Girl is an adaptation of a historical novel by Philippa Gregory. It's a romanticized account of the rivalry between two sisters. Mary Boleyn (Scarlett Johansson) was the mistress of King Henry VIII, until the other Boleyn girl Anne (Natalie Portman) became the second of his six wives. The two actresses have worked on their British accent and exploit the contrast between the two personalities, meek vs. manipulating. The costumes and decors take you back to the 16th century. Eric Bana plays the king. The supporting cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas and young talents like Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne. The Duchess is based on a historical biography by Amanda Foreman. This one has a completely British cast. William and Georgiana Cavendish, or the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, didn't have a happy marriage. He started an affair with Lady Bess Foster (Hayley Atwell). Ralph Fiennes makes the duke look cold, formal and aloof. Keira Knightley shows the emotions of someone trapped in a golden cage. The costume and make-up department studied the portraits of the historical characters, although the duke was somewhat chunkier in real life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Leading vs. Supporting Categories in 2009 … IMO Woody Harrelson was the leading actor in The Messenger. Oscar had him in supporting. Christopher Plummer was the co-leading actor in The Last Station with James McAvoy. Helen Mirren was the leading actress. Oscar had Plummer in the supporting category. Maggie Gyllenhaal is supporting in Crazy Heart. Matt Damon is supporting in Invictus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I was on the fence about what category to put Peter Capaldi in for In the Loop. I had him in supporting when I typed up my initial list, but switched him to lead today when i posted my list. Kilgore, I see you have everyone in Inglourious Basterds as supporting, so I assume it's a case where you consider the movie to have no leads? I had Melanie Laurent as the sole lead, but again, with the ensemble nature of the piece I was uncertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
