Sordid Murder and Sex: Todd Haynes Directing Kate Winslet in Mildred Pierce Miniseries
The fascination for Michael Curtiz's Mildred Pierce continues. After Pedro Almodovar integrated parts of the film in the storyline for Volver, Todd Haynes will be making Mildred into miniseries mode and into a less straight jacket version than his homage to Douglas Sirk with Far From Heaven: meaning I'm expecting Haynes to be more faithful to the original novel written by James M. Cain than, the 1945 film.
Cannes 2009 Producer’s Patch: Focus Features International
Focus currently have three films that carry enough weight to make everyone take notice without much effort. Ang Lee and Pedro Almodovar are part of the official competition while Alejandro Amenabar's Agora receives a non- competition slot.
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown on the Small Screen
Pedro Almodovar is looking to bring his beloved Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown to the small screen and despite the fact that it would be carried out in English, I would not be surprised if it comes with the trademark stylization of Latin American soap operas along with the master filmmaker's use of strong vivid colors, dynamic characters, great decor and the kind of twisted humor we originally found in the 1988 film.
What Goes ‘Up’ Must Come Down to Cannes
It won't be the auteur filmmakers such as the Wong Kar Wais or the Pedro Almodovars that will ceremoniously open the next edition of the Cannes Film Festival but rather, an animated, 3D film from the Pixar folks. Pete Docter's Up will screen for world critics a full two weeks before its theatrical release and as long as you keep away puffy mascots from the steps of the red carpet, I'm fine with that decision.
Thirty Five Seconds of Bliss: Broken Embraces Teaser
Lush wardrobe colors, a Penelope Cruz being carried around by multiple older men, and a wall littered with former “flames”. You can't get much out of 35 seconds, and I'm not about to make some sort of analysis here before just appreciating the images and score, but for what it is worth, Pedro Almodóvar's Broken Embraces is looking to do exactly what Todd Haynes' did with his homage to Douglas Sirk – bring the 50's to the forefront. To be released in Spain well before Cannes, I'm looking forward to catching this one on the Croisette.
