IFC like their ballads like Honore’s ‘Love Songs’

Date:

All love songs tell the same story: 'Too many love you'…'I couldn’t live without you'…'Sorry Angel'. Love songs tell this too.

It was perhaps one of the least favorite in competition films among critics at the last Cannes, but was a big hit among French filmgoers this past summer. THR announces that DVD outfit Red Envelope and IFC First Take have picked up Love Songs. I personally haven’t seen Christophe Honore's French musical but it’s got a healthy, youthful trio of players in Louis Garrel (“The Dreamers”), Ludivine Sagnier (“Swimming Pool”) and Chiara Mastroianni (“Persepolis“).

Honoré the French writer and film director born in Bretagne, France has also release stateside Ma Mere in 04' and another IFC release earlier this month with In Paris (Dans Paris).

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
