Join film critic Emma Jones and presenter Eve Jackson on this week's arts24 film show as we explore the action-comedy "Novocaine" starring Jack Quaid, Nicole Kidman's "Holland" on Amazon Prime and the critically acclaimed "The Grill" by Alonso Ruizpalacios. Plus, we dive into the legacy of German filmmaker Ernst Lubitsch with a retrospective at the Cinemathèque française.
Et ass net einfach fir als Student op de gemittlechen Hotel Mamma ze verzichten ... Déi amerikanesch ''nano-budget''-Komedie bréngt et op de Punkt, fënnt de Michel Delage. ''Green House" ass nach bis den 2. Dezember gratis op der Plattform "Henri" vun der Cinemathèque française ze gesinn.
Anescht ewéi déi aner Kinoen am Land, déi erëm de 17. Juni opmaachen, huet déi Stater Cinemathéik bis elo nach keen Datum fir hir Reouverture genannt. De Michel Delage huet den Direkter vun der Cinemathéik Claude Bertemes gefrot, wéini een dann nees ka Filmklassiker um groussen Ecran gesinn.
For our first COVID-19-era Lightbox retrospective episode, we look at the enigmatic cinema of Angela Schanelec. We focus on her two most recent films, THE DREAMED PATH (2016) and I WAS AT HOME, BUT... (2019). Then, in our final, presciently-named Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment for “the duration”, it's the last Bressons of TIFF's anniversary retrospective that we were able to see (LANCELOT DU LAC, A GENTLE WOMAN, and his only (?) comedy, FOUR NIGHTS OF A DREAMER), plus we celebrate the emotional generosity of Coppola's PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED.

In our 2nd episode devoted to a TIFF retrospective, we cover News From Home: The Films of Chantal Akerman and share with you our excitement about a new favourite director. Topics that come up in the course of discussing Akerman's obsessional-yet-variegated filmography include Freud, mothers, the historico-geographic basis of identity, the nature of desire, passivity, projection, politics, Hitchcock, comedy, ghosts, gender. Films discussed in depth include NO HOME MOVIE, JEANNE DIELMAN, LA CAPTIVE, JE TU IL ELLE, LES RENDEZ-VOUS D'ANNA, A COUCH IN NEW YORK, and the US-Mexico border documentary FROM THE OTHER SIDE. Then, in our Recently-Viewed section, we discuss two more Scorseses, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE and THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, and two movies viewed in one day on either side of NO HOME MOVIE (like the two crucified thieves), William Wellman's 1937 A STAR IS BORN (the best version, in our opinion), and Michael Mann's epic cops-and-robbers movie HEAT, wherein an outrageous Pacino tenderly yet relentlessly pursues a Stoic De Niro.

In May 1968, demonstrations at the University of Nanterre, triggered a wave of protests across Paris and elsewhere in France, that have loomed in the imaginations of the Western European left. This month, Juliet talks to Mitchell Abidor, author of May Made Me: An Oral History of the 1968 Uprising in France (https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745336947/may-made-me/) about the relationship between the protests and film: how André Malraux's decision to fire Henri Langlois from the Cinemathèque fed into the insurrection; how far the Provos, Lettrists and Situationists influenced the protests; how the likes of Jean-Luc Godard and Chris Marker changed their practice after May '68; and the feminist and queer filmmakers and groups that emerged in its wake.
