Tali Shalom-Ezer, Princess

Alex Heeney / May 25, 2016

Israeli auteur Tali Shalom-Ezer discusses Princess

Princess is a sensitive, intimate film about 12-year-old Adar whose curiosity about sex gets confused when she receives sexual attention from her still loving step-father. Purchase the film on iTunes or watch it on Vimeo OnDemand.

A Bigger Splash

Alex Heeney / May 20, 2016

Desire is a dangerous dance in A Bigger Splash

In this review of A Bigger Splash, we explore Luca Guadagnino’s erotic joyride, which is about the breaking point: what we think we want, and what happens when we get it — or don’t. 

The Lobster, Yorgos Lanthimos, Ariane Labed

Alex Heeney / May 19, 2016

Writer-director Yorgos Lanthimos and actress Ariane Labed talk The Lobster

Yorgos Lanthimos discusses his approach to shooting The Lobster, designing the sound, and blocking the action. Actress Ariane Labed explains how she prepared for the part and how training as a dancer influenced her performance. We named Rachel Weisz’s performance in the film one of the best of 2016.

Whit Stillman, Love & Friendship

Alex Heeney / May 19, 2016

Whit Stillman on cruelty and wit in Love & Friendship

Although Love & Friendship benefits from Austen’s sharp satire and clever observations, this is still very much a Stillman film, reveling in the humour of what he calls, “upper class twits.” Stillman discusses setting the tone, the importance of words, and the music in the film.

Matthias Schoenaerts

Alex Heeney / May 19, 2016

Matthias Schoenaerts and the art of not speaking

Though he’s made films in English, French, and Dutch, Matthias Schoenaerts tends to communicate his characters’ inner lives through physicality rather than dialogue. This is the 4th feature in our special A Bigger Splash week.

Tom Hiddleston, Hollow Charmer

Alex Heeney / May 14, 2016

Tom Hiddleston and the hollow charm thwarting the promise of a great actor

Tom Hiddleston could be one of our greatest actors, but he isn’t quite — yet. “If you want to know who I am, it’s all in the work,” Hiddleston insists, quoting Alan Rickman. In fact, that might be what’s holding him back.
