Before Nan Goldin was the subject of Laura Poitras’ documentary “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” Poitras first learned about her when she was studying filmmaking in San Francisco and saw a copy of “The Ballad of Sexual Dependency.” “I had a roommate who was a photographer, so she had one of the early editions and it was just mind-blowing. The intimacy, the rawness, the capturing of relationships and sexuality and the differences between genders,” she tells Gold Derby during our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video interview above).
When she actually got to experience Goldin’s art in-person, it became another incredible event for her. “It’s like she created this whole new visual storytelling, language and relationship. These were people she was friends and lovers with.”

It seems the perfect time to be releasing Snowden on DVD and Blu-ray, we are constantly hearing about how hacking has influenced events in America. With Oliver Stone directing, it seems he is a good choice because of his Anarchic choice of films he directs, but has he delivered a movie fitting of such a massive historical event?
When Edward Snowden (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) decides to go down the Nsa/CIA route of fighting to protect his country he proves to be very adept at creating systems to spy on individuals of interest. When he learns of the true scale of surveillance though, he finds himself turning whistle-blower to wake people up to how governments are attacking people’s privacy.

MaryAnn’s quick take… A gripping précis of what Edward Snowden learned at the CIA and Nsa, why he went public, and why it matters. Entertaining yet also deeply unsettling. I’m “biast” (pro): big fan of Oliver Stone, and of Edward Snowden; love the cast
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
I have not read the source material
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Snowden opens in June 2013, as journalists Laura Poitras (Melissa Leo: London Has Fallen, The Big Short) and Glenn Greenwald (Zachary Quinto: Star Trek Beyond, Hitman: Agent 47) first meet and interview, over several days, Nsa whistleblower Edward Snowden (Joseph Gordon-Levitt: The Night Before, The Walk), in a hotel in Hong Kong.

[Editor’s Note: This post is presented in partnership with Spectrum. Catch up on this year’s Awards Season contenders and the latest films On Demand. Today’s pick is “Snowden.”]
The opening titles of “Snowden” explain that the film dramatizes events from 2004 to 2013, but the film was clearly designed to speak to audiences years after that.
“Snowden” is the latest effort from polarizing filmmaker Oliver Stone, who finds himself back in familiar territory, in a firmly political realm. It’s the story behind Edward Snowden’s rise through the CIA before his 2013 whistleblowing efforts, all the way up through the events detailed in Laura Poitras’ documentary “Citizenfour.”
In addition to tackling the timeline that took Snowden from army recruit to figure of global import, “Snowden” contextualizes the full scope of his revelations. What doesn’t come through in heated arguments and hushed conversations is on display in hypnotic sequences of psychedelic digital networks, all made up of personal data.
Bouncing around the nine years of Snowden’s life up until his public reveal is a tricky proposition. But using the...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley and Oliver Stone in San Sebastian Photo: Courtesy of San Sebastian Film Festival/Pablo Gómez Snowden director Oliver Stone accused Us President Barack Obama's state security of being way beyond that of the East German Stasi secret police at a press conference for his whistleblower biopic. Stone was speaking alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Edward Snowden, and Shailene Woodley, who co-stars as Snowden's long-term girlfriend Lindsay Mills, at San Sebastian Film Festival.
Noting that his film shows Obama on TV in his first term, advocating transparency and an end to illegal wiretaps, Stone added: "He went the opposite way.
"Mr Snowden and Lindsay were both hoping that he would change course because he seems like a man of great integrity. However, five years later, Mr Snowden did what he did because he knew that, on the contrary, Mr Obama had doubled down on the Bush administration policy.

Chicago – The experience of director Oliver Stone, to look underneath the slimy rocks of government secrecy and bureaucracy, produces an excellent history lesson in “Snowden,” an overview of Edward Snowden, a whistleblower against the government who is still in exile.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Stone is clear on his position on Snowden, who essentially told the world that their privacy rights were being violated through government access into their technology, he is a patriot. How he became that way is fascinating, with the complexities of spying on chilling display. Get your band-aids or masking tape out and tape that camera hole on your computer, or maybe you’re next on the CIA/Nsa “candid camera.” That is what the film warns, and again Oliver Stone is the agent provocateur who leads the way to teaching us something through his role, as he puts it, as a dramatist.
The story is told in flashback.

At first glance, there is little about Snowden that would seem to distinguish it from some of this year’s other “I’m not sure there’s a movie in that true story” based-on-a-true-story movies like Sully and Deepwater Horizon, especially in the wake of the Wikileaks film The Fifth Estate or the exceptional documentary Citizenfour. But Snowden has a secret weapon, and it’s one that I wasn’t expecting: a fully-engaged and on-his-game Oliver Stone. And when Oliver Stone is on his game and fully engaged, there are few filmmakers who are more interesting or provocative. I have been a fan of his work for most of the time I have been a film fan, even before I knew fully who he was. I was drawn to films he had written, and when he made the jump to directing full-time with the back-to-back accomplishment of Salvador and Platoon,...

Depending on your point-of-view, Edward Snowden is a hero or a traitor. When whistle-blower Snowden leaked documents to the public, through the Guardian newspaper, that exposed the United States government’s massive surveillance and data collection on own citizens, the news exploded around the world, sparked outrage among the American people (either that their government was spying on them or that Snowden revealed it), and sent Snowden on the run and into hiding.
Hero or villain, few would deny that what Edward Snowden did is a worthy subject for a serious film. It even sounds like the subject might be a good fit for director Oliver Stone, a filmmaker famous for his affinity for conspiracy theories and for his libertarian-to-liberal views. But anyone expecting a very liberal slant to this film will be surprised, as Stone takes an even-handed approach, offering some of the arguments on both sides. The problem...

“Snowden,” Oliver Stone’s best movie in years, benefits from the same biopic approach as “Born on the Fourth of July,” by giving us the personal story and not just the inner workings of the intelligence community that we gleaned from Laura Poitras’ Oscar-winning “Citizenfour” documentary.
“Snowden” is a gripping narrative about the changing perceptions of the whistleblower (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) as he moves from idealism to disillusionment— while remaining a patriot. The film’s editors Lee Percy and Alex Marquez helped to humanize the Nsa contractor’s life and what motivated him to leak thousands of classified documents to journalists, exposing covert global surveillance programs.
While exploring the covert world of spying and complicated computer tech, Stone focuses heavily on Snowden’s relationships, particularly with girlfriend Lindsay Mills (Shailene Woodley), who broadens his ideology, and CIA recruiter and mentor Corbin O’Brian (Rhys Ifans), whose surname was lifted from George Orwell...

What's your take on Edward Snowden: A patriot deserving of a presidential pardon? A traitor deserving of execution, as Trump believes? Something in between? In Snowden the movie, in which a fiercely committed Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the title role, Oliver Stone removes all doubt. He's Saint Edward, the cyber-nerd who's living in exile in Russia for the crime (or heroic act) of leaking classified Nsa documents that show how Uncle Sam (or Big Brother) is monitoring us, all of us, 24/7. As in Citizenfour, the brilliant documentary from Laura Poitras,...

About a week ago, I caught a screening of Snowden, but the embargo was still in place. Now, I can more comfortably say that it’s quite good, easily Oliver Stone’s best film in some time. Not only that, it’s a top notch role for and performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the title part. Snowden has been looming for almost a year now, threatening to be a potential player in the Oscar race, and now that it’s about to hit this weekend, I can safely say that it’s a very strong film. As for its Academy Award prospects, well…that remains to be seen. For those unaware, this biopic is a look at Edward Snowden (played here by Gordon-Levitt), who we see go from dedicated work in the military that’s cut short by injury to the work with the CIA and intelligence community that will make him famous/infamous.

Two of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s recent projects have seen him play real-life figures who performed extreme acts of courage.
“Both of whom broke the law,” the actor adds with a laugh over the phone from Los Angeles.
One would be Philippe Petit, the Frenchman who walked a tightrope between the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in 1974, and whom Gordon-Levitt played in last fall’s Robert Zemeckis movie The Walk.
The other is Edward Snowden, the world’s most famous whistleblower, in Oliver Stone’s Snowden, which premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival before opening across the country on September 16th. “I admire both, but Snowden admittedly is the much more controversial of the two figures, especially nowadays,” Gordon-Levitt says.

Remakes repackaging foreign films for American audiences are justifiable if done correctly. I’d hope our movie-going public would willingly read subtitles and experience the original artist’s vision, but we don’t live in a utopia. Dramatizing non-fiction work is equally acceptable in specific circumstances because a narrative built from talking head interviews is sometimes easier to parse and appreciate than those disparate accounts alone. Where I take umbrage with this trend is when Hollywood uses a documentary–an Oscar-winning documentary no less–and literally re-enacts it for a fictionalized bio-pic. To watch Citizenfour is to be enveloped in a tense journey with real careers and lives at stake. To watch Oliver Stone’s Snowden take Laura Poitras’ film and artificially deliver what she did authentically is to wonder about its point.
Stone has strong opinions and isn’t afraid to release them into the world no matter the backlash.

After portraying Edward Snowden, Joseph Gordon-Levitt believes Snowden is a different kind of patriot.
“He really was doing what he did out of a sincere love for his country and the principles that the country is founded on,” Gordon-Levitt said during a press conference for Oliver Stone’s “Snowden” at the Toronto International Film Festival Saturday.
“There’s the kind of patriotism where you’re just allegiant to your country no matter what and you don’t ask any questions, but there’s another kind of patriotism, and that is what I really wanted to show in this character, which is the kind of patriotism that he grows into over the course of the nine years,” Gordon-Levitt said.

There’s no more obvious candidate for directing a Edward Snowden biopic than Oliver Stone, the reigning king of conspiratorial left-wing political thrillers. However, the definitive movie about Snowden’s dramatic leak of Nsa files already exists: Laura Poitras’ Oscar-winning documentary “Citizenfour.” Stone’s “Snowden” recounts the same events, using them as a framing device to recount the young character’s radicalization. As a result, “Snowden” largely becomes the CliffsNotes “Citizenfour,” now with a Hollywood gloss.

The conundrum at the heart of Oliver Stone’s Snowden is that it’s a spy movie in which the big revelation, the secret that is the source of all the action, conspiracy, and necessary heist sequences, is that the government is spying on people. In the real world, this is a fairly big deal to most people. In the world of a movie, it doesn’t evoke quite the same level of urgency. It’s hard to imagine a Jason Bourne film in which the climactic revelation is that they’ve got eyes on him. That’s kind of taken as a given in this genre, and this is a genre from which this film is clearly drawing.
Nevertheless, Snowden is a worthwhile, entertaining companion narrative to Laura Poitras’ Academy Award-winning documentary, Citizenfour (Melissa Leo appears here as Poitras, re-enacting scenes from the doc in the Hong Kong hotel...

Nobody owns Oliver Stone. I’ve talked with this filmmaker for decades, and he’s consistent to a fault. The Oscar-winning writer-director (“Platoon,” “JFK,” “Wall Street”) has always gone his own way. If there’s an impediment, he’ll find a way around it. Hell, he’ll even con the El Salvador government to give him army soldiers for a movie critical of El Salvador.
Which is one reason why Stone met with Nsa whistleblower Edward Snowden in Moscow, not once, or twice, but nine times. Stone will tell you: You can’t trust the United States government. You can’t trust the Nsa, CIA, or FBI. You can’t trust the Hollywood studios, because those are corporations run by lawyers. And you certainly can’t trust the media.

They say opposites attract, and that seems to be very much the case in the latest “Snowden” clip.
In the new video from the Oliver Stone-directed biopic about the Nsa whistleblower, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who portrays the title character, and Shailene Woodley, his longtime girlfriend Lindsay Mills, are seen strolling past protestors outside of the White House. Right from the beginning you can tell that the couple has opposing political views; Mills is anti-war and a liberal, while Snowden is a conservative with strong reservations.
“I don’t really like bashing my country,” Snowden says after Mills asks if the protestors have “too much independent spirit.” Mills replies to his answer by saying, “It’s my country too and right now it has blood on its hands.”

The gloves are off in this new, extended clip for Snowden – and we’re not talking about the whistleblower’s crusade against the Nsa.
Instead, today’s all-new snippet shifts focus to the human element of Oliver Stone’s long-awaited drama, teeing up a political debate between Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley on the grounds of the capital. It’s a nice tease, and already we’re sensing a natural dynamic developing between the film’s two leading stars.
Together, they’ll anchor Stone’s political thriller as Snowden and his girlfriend Lindsay Mills, who becomes drawn into a web of data mining and government surveillance once Gordon-Levitt’s lead casts a blinding light on the Nsa’s malpractice – classified information that featured the likes of Prism and more.
Turned down by every major studio due to its pressing subject matter, Oliver Stone’s Snowden will finally emerge into theaters...

A political debate leads to a sweet romantic moment for Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley's characters in the upcoming drama Snowden. Gordon-Levitt, who stars in the film's title role of Edward Snowden, and Woodley, who portrays Lindsay Mills, pay a visit to the White House in Washington, D.C., in an exclusive sneak peek from the film. As the pair pass protestors, Gordon-Levitt remarks, "I just really don't like bashing our country." The comment leads to a back-and-forth between Woodley and Gordon-Levitt's characters, with the latter insisting that his companion is "buying into" the liberal media before their charged...

This year's San Diego Comic-Con brought a treasure trove of trailers for some of the upcoming year's most buzzworthy movies, from superhero movies and franchise tentpole blockbusters to, curiously enough, Oliver Stone's upcoming Edward Snowden biopic. (Watching the filmmaker warn the attendees of his Hall H panel that Pokémon Go watches them as they slumber was a rare, unexpected treat.)
We've got a nice long wait for most of these — enjoy that Justice League clip, people, because we've still got another 16 months before it swoops into theaters — but for now,...

The latest trailer for Oliver Stone's Snowden debuted at Comic-Con and finds Nsa whistleblower Edward Snowden sacrificing love to expose classified secrets. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as the titular computer analyst, who famously leaked documents connected to the government's surveillance programs.
The gripping preview focuses on Snowden falling in love with girlfriend Lindsay Mills (Shailene Woodley) and sacrificing the life they build together in his quest for truth. "What is it about this job that makes it more important than your life?" Mills asks Snowden, who angrily tells her, "You...

The Nsa whistleblower admitted to a small group at a Q&A on Thursday night that he did not expect to get out of Hong Kong after he transferred top secret information to reporters in 2013.
“I didn’t have a plan beyond getting the story out there,” Snowden told an invite-only audience via Google Hangouts from Moscow following the first screening of Snowden.
“I planned to ask the world for justice and see what happened. It’s surprising how that worked out. I was en route to Latin America when the Us cancelled my passport. I still cannot travel.”
A moment later Snowden added that given his track record as a staffer at the CIA and a contractor at the CIA and the Nsa who had taught counter-intelligence classes, he was somewhat qualified to get away.
“I was about as well-placed as anybody could be to do that effectively.”

Much like an actual employee of the Nsa, anyone watching this new trailer for Oliver Stone’s Snowden will have to sift through a lot of distracting noise if they want to get to the real information. For one thing, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is quickly proving himself to be the new Johnny Depp, but instead of putting on a weird hat he has to do a weird voice in every movie. Also, while the last trailer highlighted the political thriller angle, this one focuses a little more on the romance between Snowden and longtime girlfriend Lindsay Mills. She’s played here by Shailene Woodley, who is 11 years younger than Gordon-Levitt, and it’s almost as hard to ignore that as it is to ignore his weird voice.

In one of the most provocative Hall H panels in a long time, Snowden director Oliver Stone on his debut took part in a far-ranging conversation about patriotism, surveillance, Pokemon Go and an appreciation of the man who inspired his latest film.
“Snowden is a larger than life story on what’s happening right now under out noses and continuing to happen and it affects the majority of you, this audience, and into the next generation,” said the filmmaker.
“He’s still a mystery,” Stone said of Edward Snowden, the National Security Administration (Nsa) whistleblower whose sensational 2013 leaks revealed the extent of Us and global government surveillance programmes. “We went as far as we could.”
The filmmaker based Snowden on original interviews and two books: Guardian journalist Luke Harding’s The Snowden Files: The Inside Story Of The World’s Most Wanted Man, and Time Of The Octopus, a “fictionalisation” by Snowden’s Russian lawyer Anatoly Kucherena.

Earlier today, a new full length Trailer dropped for Snowden, the Oliver Stone helmed biopic of a certain notorious whistleblower. This conspiracy/political thriller seems right up Stone’s wheelhouse, with an A-list cast on to help, including Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the title role. We’ve only seen little teases for the film so far, along with a delayed release from last year (when the movie apparently wasn’t finished yet) to this year, so it’s pretty much been an X factor. Now, a bit more is known, so some musings can be done. Of course, you can see the Trailer at the end of the piece, but for now, let’s dive in and see what we can potentially make of this one… For those unaware, this is a biopic of Edward Snowden (played here by Gordon-Levitt), who we see go from dedicated work in the military to...

Not for the first time, Oliver Stone’s Snowden biopic has been delayed, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that the film will now open on September 16.
Once pegged to arrive in Christmas of 2015, before relocating to May 13 of this year, today’s announcement aligns Stone’s button-pressing drama with the beginning of 2016’s awards season. However, by the same token, it also quells speculation that Snowden would open this year’s Cannes Film Festival in May.
Placing Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Walk) into the shoes of the former Nsa contractor and whistleblower, the director’s picture will act as the first narrative feature to chronicle the history of the divisive figure, who was thrust into the eye of a media storm upon leaking a string of classified information concerning unconstitutional global surveillance and the Prism program. Also on board are Divergent alum Shailene Woodley as Edward Snowden’s girlfriend, Lindsay Mills,...

Open Road Films is pushing back the release of Oliver Stone's Snowden from May 13 to Sept. 16., the beginning of awards season. The biopic stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as controversial Nsa whistleblower Edward Snowden, while Shailene Woodley plays Snowden's girlfriend, Lindsay Mills. It's the third time Snowden has altered course; it was originally set to open Dec. 25, 2015, in time for consideration this awards season. Open Road — home of Oscar contender Spotlight — made the decision in October to move the biopic to May 13, sparking buzz that the film would make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, a

Long hair, don't care! Shailene Woodley was spotted on the set of the "Snowden" biopic in Honolulu, Hawaii on Thursday ... though we barely recognized her with all that hair. The actress didn't look like herself, sporting long brown hair extensions for her role as Edward Snowden's girlfriend, Lindsay Mills. The young star was dressed down for the scene, rocking long denim shorts, a black T-shirt, minimal makeup and no shoes. The Oliver Stone directed biopic -- which will follow the life of Snowden, a former CIA employee who leaked thousands of classified information to the press -- boasts a pretty impressive cast, too. Woodley stars alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Snowden), Nicolas Cage, Scott Eastwood, Zachary Quinto and Joely Richardson in the biographic thriller. While we think Woodley can rock any look, we've gotten used to her with slightly shorter tresses. What do you think about the 23-year-old's movie makeunder? Tell...

Actress Shailene Woodley took a few more steps toward owning the MTV demographic that Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart have had a stranglehold on the last few years Sunday by claiming a pair of awards at the top of the 2015 MTV Movie Awards: Best Actress for her work in "The Fault in Our Stars" and the Trailblazer Award for forging her own path in the industry. "I was here three years ago when Emma Stone won this award and I remember what she said," Woodley said from the Nokia Theatre stage in accepting the Trailblazer honor. "She came up here and defined what a trailblazer is…and in her speech she said we meet thousands of people we're inspired by but we'll never be anyone other than ourselves. In thinking about that I realized we can't truly be ourselves without a community to reflect back to ourselves who we are.
