Michael Haneke’s Happy End also makes its bow.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Killing Of A Sacred Deer split Screen’s jury of critics on day five of the 2017 Cannes jury grid, which compiles ratings for all of the film’s in competition at the festival.
The Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman-starrer scored two maximum four-star ratings, from the UK’s Tim Robey and Robbie Collin and from Russia’s Anton Dolin, as well as two no-star X ratings, from the Us’s Stephanie Zacharek and France’s Julien Gester and Didier Peron.
Hampered by a further two one-star ratings, the film’s overall score of 1.9 places it low down the total list but still ahead of Michel Hazanavicius’s Redoubtable and Kornel Mundruczo’s Jupiter’s Moon.
The day’s other new entrant was two-time Palme d’Or winner Michael Haneke’s Happy End, which garnered five three-star ratings on the way to a 2.2 score overall...

The Meyerowitz Stories garners more favourable reaction on day four.
Michel Hazanavicius’s Redoubtable struggled to impress Screen’s jury of critics on day four of the 2017 Cannes jury grid.
However, Screen’s own critic went against the tide, awarding the film three-stars and calling it “dazzlingly executed, hugely enjoyable”.
Italy’s Fabio Ferzetti, and France’s Julien Gester and Didier Peron, gave the film a no-star rating of X. It totalled 1.5, a low so far for this year’s grid.
Yesterday’s other competition debut was Noah Naumbach’s The Meyerowitz Stories (New And Selected), which garnered more favourable responses, including five three-star ratings.
Its total of 2.4 puts its fifth on the list, with Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Loveless still out in front on 3.2.
Today’s Cannes Competition premieres are Michael Haneke’s Happy End and Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Killing Of A Sacred Deer.

Loveless still reigns atop the 2017 grid.
Day three of Screen’s 2017 Cannes jury grid saw two new entrants clock strong scores, though neither could dethrone table-topper Loveless.
Ruben Ostlund’s The Square scored an impressive eight three-star ratings, and one maximum four-star score from France’s Michel Ciment.
The film’s overall score, 2.7, was restricted by the awarding of an X-rating (zero out of four), from France’s Julien Gester and Didier Peron. It sits joint-second with Todd Haynes’ Wonderstruck.
The day’s other new entrant was Robin Campillo’s Bpm (Beats Per Minute), which clocked 2.5, all from two-star and three-star ratings.
Today’s premieres are Noah Baumbach’s Netflix title The Meyerowitz Stories (New And Selected) and Michel Hazanavicius’ Redoubtable – can either of them dethrone Loveless?...

Z Team Films Presents The Release Of
“Die Fighting” Nation-wide On Demand November 4
On November 4, Gravitas Ventures will unleash Z Team Films’ martial arts action film Die Fighting on Video on Demand throughout North America, reaching over 100 million homes. Die Fighting stars Fabien Garcia, Laurent “Lohan” Buson, Didier Buson, Jess Allen, Dave Vescio and Xin Wuku. The movie is directed by Fabien Garcia and is produced by Laurent Buson.
The trailer looks action packed showcasing some great fight scenes and choreography. Hard hitting, bone crushing and maybe some skull breaking moments, the camera angles during the fights are well done and it seems the actors involved can all thrown down some great moves. I will certainly be checking this low budget movie out on the release on November 4th 2014.

Adieu au langage - Goodbye to Language
A Works Cited
Introduction
From its bluntly political opening (Alfredo Bandelli's 'La caccia alle streghe': "Always united we win, long live the revolution!") to its hilarious fecal humor and word play—with 3D staging that happily puts to shame James Cameron and every other hack who's tried their hand at it these past several years—Adieu au langage overwhelms us with a deluge of recited texts, music and images, hardly ever bothering to slow down to let us catch our breath. Exhilarating and certainly not surprising—this is the guy who made Puissance de la parole after all!
The release of a new Godard film or video means a new encounter with texts, films and music often familiar from the filmmaker's earlier work—reworked and re-contextualized—as well as new discoveries to be sorted through and identified. This life-long interest in quotation...

She made Woburn Abbey Britain's most popular stately home
Nicole Milinaire-Russell, Dowager Duchess of Bedford, who has died aged 92, was, by her own account, ruefully overworked for 14 years in the cause of converting into a highly profitable business a stately home she had never wholly liked living in. "Man is the creator, woman the organiser," she proclaimed soon after taking up residence at Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, in 1960 as the wife of the 13th Duke.
By 1974, when she and her husband moved out to hand over to his son Robin, the Marquess of Tavistock, Woburn had become the most popular stately home in the country. Robin was the eldest of the three sons from the duke's two previous marriages, and his continuation of the enterprise was the subject of the TV series Country House (1999-2002).
In 2003 Nicole sent from her flat in Monaco a letter to newspaper editors urging them:...

Clearly as the maker of a 2011 silent film, Michel Hazanavicius is a filmmaker drawn to risky endeavors. After winning worldwide acclaim for The Artist its writer-director is now taking a new risk, pursuing acting with the satirical comedy Jacky au royaume des filles, which translates to Jacky in Women's Kingdom. Though he's previously appeared in such French comedies as Yvan Attal's My Wife is an Actress and Alain Chabat's Didier, Jacky in Women's Kingdom--which is what we'll call it until U.S. distributors bestow it a flashier title.will mark his first major role. Variety reports comic book artist turned filmmaker Riad Sattouf, who made his directorial debut with the 2009 coming-of-age comedy The French Kissers, wrote and will helm this funny feature which is set in a world where gender roles are reversed, and women reign in a military dictatorship. Hazanavicius will reteam with My Wife is an Actress...

Opening the fest is the North American premiere of Emmanuel Mouret's French sex comedy Please Please Me! (which I think should logically be picked up for the U.S. market - see trailer here) and the ten day fest will be closing with the North American premiere of Radu Mihaileanu's The Concert - a Weinstein Co. title starring Melanie Laurent that will most likely open sometime early in 2010. - Now in its 15th year, Montreal's Cinemania Film Festival, one of North America's better French language fests has unveiled its 30-title roster with its usual mix of films from the big four (Cannes, Berlin, Venice and Toronto) and select tiles from the Rotterdams, Locarnos, Karlovy Varys and Sundances.
