There have been a number of big summer movies like "F1: The Movie," "Superman" and "Jurrassic World: Rebirth." But these popcorn movies are not likely destined for big awards.

Channing Tatum plays the thief, Peter Dinklage and Kirsten Dunst swirl around him. “Anemone” – Daniel Day-Lewis comes out of retirement for this film directed by his son, Ronan. The plot?

In the early days of the Hollywood studio system, producers exerted far greater creative control than any individual director. Then, in the mid-twentieth century, a group of young French critics issued a cri du coeur that gave rise to the figure of the auteur: visionary filmmakers ranging from Jean-Luc Godard to Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson. In the final installment of this year's Critics at Large interview series, Vinson Cunningham talks with fellow staff writer Richard Brody about the origins of auteur theory, and about the lengths to which directors have gone for artistic freedom in the decades since. They take Spike Lee's body of work as a case study, considering his new movie “Highest 2 Lowest” and how his filmmaking sensibility reflects his singular view of the world. “Style is a funny thing in movies,” Brody says. “If it's any good, it's not inseparable from substance. It is substance.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The 400 Blows” (1959)“Breathless” (1960)“Notes on the Auteur Theory in 1962,” by Andrew Sarris (Film Culture)“Circles and Squares,” by Pauline Kael (Film Quarterly)“Martin Scorsese on Making ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,' ” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013)“Spike Lee Comes Home,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Da Sweet Blood of Jesus” (2014)“Red Hook Summer” (2012)“A Great Film Reveals Itself in Five Minutes,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Highest 2 Lowest” (2025)“ ‘Highest 2 Lowest' Marks a Conservative Pivot for Spike Lee,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Do the Right Thing” (1989)New episodes drop every Thursday.

Prepare-se para uma viagem fascinante pela história do cinema! No Cinem(ação) #612, exploramos a Nouvelle Vague, o movimento que, no final dos anos 50, sacudiu as bases da sétima arte e mandou o chamado “cinema de papai” tirar férias (aquelas bem longas). Caro, previsível e preso a adaptações literárias, esse modelo viu sua estrutura tremer quando um bando de jovens cinéfilos decidiu que dava pra fazer diferente.Foi aí que críticos da Cahiers du Cinéma, como François Truffaut e Jean-Luc Godard, resolveram transformar a câmera em caneta (caméra-stylo) e escrever filmes com sua própria letra. Improviso nos diálogos, filmagens nas ruas com luz natural, cortes abruptos e uma boa dose de ousadia deram um frescor que, até hoje, inspira e irrita o mercado contemporâneo. Afinal, se a Nouvelle Vague pregava liberdade artística, o que fazer num cenário onde a lógica do streaming e dos blockbusters manda na pauta?Rafael Arinelli, Bel Petit e Pedro Amaro conversam sobre os temas e personagens que marcaram a época: juventude, amor livre e contestação social. Sem falar no novo papel dado às mulheres nas narrativas: protagonistas de suas próprias histórias. Entre risadas e reflexões, eles também discutem se a Nouvelle Vague realmente inventou o culto ao diretor ou apenas deu um upgrade no que Hollywood e o neorrealismo italiano já tinham iniciado.Então já sabe: aperte o play e descubra por que, no cinema, algumas ondas nunca deixam de quebrar.• 03m08: Pauta Principal• 1h17m19: Plano Detalhe• 1h27m20: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

Vintage Cinema Rewind is back Anna Karina's Actor Month! And their coverage of the the strangest, artiest sci-fi romp to ever grace the shadows of Paris continues. That's right, it's time for a Deep Dive on Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville! After Michael mysteriously (preposterously?) meets his end in the arms of a seductress, Blake is all alone in a city he doesn't understand. But with bizarre poolside executions and an even stranger voice in his head, can he unlock the secrets of this city? Or will he fail to protect those that weep?
In this episode, we strap in for a cinematic journey across three radically different worlds that share an obsession with the limits of human endurance. We start with F1, a high-octane dive into the rivalries and raw speed of the racing world. From there, we swerve into the apocalyptic chaos of 28 Years Later, where society has collapsed and survival demands both brutality and hope in equal measure. Finally, we descend into the cold, neon-lit corridors of Alphaville, Jean-Luc Godard's dystopian noir that questions what happens when technology erases individuality. Along the way, we'll explore how each film turns motion—whether on the track, through a wasteland, or in the labyrinth of a controlled city—into a mirror for humanity's fears, ambitions, and desires.Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

Que nʹavons-nous pas dit de Godard ? Peut-être rien ? Peut-être tout ? Car sʹil un cinéaste qui a marqué lʹhistoire, cʹest lui. Pour ses films, ses révolutions esthétiques, pour sa tête de lard, pour ses propos, pour son œuvre. Jean-Luc Godard est à la fois palpable et immatériel. Cʹest un personnage autant quʹune personnalité. Un créateur, un inventeur, un réalisateur. On lʹaime, on le déteste, mais il ne laisse personne indifférent. Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, ce nʹest pas un portrait à proprement parler du cinéaste que nous allons faire, mais celui dʹun de ses films, Bande à part, sorti en 1964. Un film qui sʹamuse des romans policiers, des romans dʹamour, des romans dʹaventure. Un film qui met en scène Anna Karina, Sami Frey et Claude Brasseur. Bande à part, cʹest Godard après le Mépris. Cʹest la fin de sa relation avec Anna Karina. Cʹest une période de créativité intense, frénétique. Mais nous allons raconter tout ça. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà trouver trois jeunes gens ayant trop lu de romans policiers pour livrer une parodie narquoise du genre.

Jean Seberg, actrice américaine née dans l'Iowa en 1938, est propulsée à 17 ans sous les projecteurs grâce à Otto Preminger, mais débute par deux échecs. C'est en France qu'elle devient une icône grâce à À bout de souffle de Jean-Luc Godard. Elle vit une histoire d'amour secrète et passionnée avec l'écrivain Romain Gary, avec qui elle a un fils, Diego, et qu'elle épouse discrètement en Corse en 1963. Très engagée politiquement, elle soutient les droits civiques et les Black Panthers, ce qui lui vaut d'être harcelée par le FBI. En 1970, la fausse rumeur orchestrée par le FBI sur la paternité de son bébé entraîne un drame : la mort de sa fille prématurée et une grave dépression. Sa santé mentale décline, marquée par des tentatives de suicide et une relation abusive. Le 30 août 1979, elle disparaît ; son corps est retrouvé 11 jours plus tard. Romain Gary, dévasté, la défend publiquement avant de se suicider à son tour en 1980. Leur fils Diego, orphelin, témoignera plus tard de ce destin brisé.

Remakes continue to proliferate on our screens. Over the last few months, we've had live action remakes in cinemas of classic animations Snow White, Lilo And Stitch, and How To Train Your Dragon, along with legacy reboots of the horror hit I Know What You Did Last Summer and DC's Superman, and - coming soon - a new spin on the 1980s comedy The Naked Gun.So is this all just evidence of a dearth of creativity in Hollywood? Or are there some artistically valid reasons to re-make existing films? And can a remake ever be better than the original? Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode delve into the past, present and future of the remake. Mark speaks to critic Anne Billson about the remakes she considers worthy of our attention, from Brian De Palma's Scarface to John Carpenter's The Thing. And he also talks with Jim McBride who, in 1983, directed Breathless - a remake of Jean-Luc Godard's French New Wave classic A Bout de Souffle, which Mark has long considered superior to the original.Ellen talks to TV critic Roxana Hadadi about what television can bring to the remake party - and about the TV series that managed to improve on their source material. And Ellen also speaks to Noah Hawley, showrunner of the multi-Emmy winning Fargo and upcoming Alien: Earth TV series, about the creative possibilities of TV reboots. Producer: Jane Long A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

Welcome to the fourth episode of our new and ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.On this episode of Fascism On Film, the Holmes Brothers discuss the Jean-Luc Godard film Le Petit Soldat. After helping start the French New Wave with his influential film Breathless (À bout de souffle), Godard was set to make this his second film in 1960. But due to censorship and its provocative look at the French-Algerian War plus scenes of torture, it was not released in cinemas until 1963. The film is set in Geneva, Switzerland and it has the Algerian War happening in the background. Actress Anna Karina worked with Jean-Luc Godard for the first time on this project. They had a bit of tumultuous relationship and were together for four years. The two of them made a bunch of films together. Pierrot Le Fou being their most memorable project amongst film fans and critics. We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel, the famous location is featured briefly in one of the films.Chris Geier, who was on our last episode of our other series The Movies And Me, is an author and his book Silt is available here.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws, The films is a available to watch in America , parts of Scandinavia (e.g. Denmark, Finland) & the United Kingdom on Amazon and also Apple TV.

In this fantastic episode of The Artists podcast, we are joined by the legendary Sir David Sterritt—renowned film critic and scholar, celebrated for his extensive writings on Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and more recently, Martin Scorsese. Sterritt, who previously appeared in Episode 89 where we explored Hitchcock, Godard, and Kiarostami (a must-listen if you haven’t already!), returns to unpack the essence of Pure Cinema—a term often used but rarely understood in its full cinematic depth. He’s written for esteemed publications like MovieMaker, Sight and Sound, and Cinéaste, and his insights offer a compelling journey through both classic and modern film thinking.
A meme flickered across feeds this week: South Carolina stacked up against California like a balance sheet for how well you can cage chaos. Homicide rates, GDP, life expectancy — by each measure California shines as the model: safer, wealthier, longer-lived. South Carolina looks rougher, poorer, more violent, a reminder that for some Americans, freedom means a shorter, riskier life. Beneath the numbers, the line: “Don't California my South Carolina.” It's more than a bumper sticker. It's the oldest American choice: Would you rather live longer, safer, and curated in a soft enclosure — or live free enough to fail, starve, and fight at the forest's edge?A good zoo is not a trick. It extends lives. It keeps predators out, or in. It offers illusions of wilderness while carefully curating the risk. California has spent a century mastering this balance. Its early Progressive roots laid out protections for labor, housing, and the urban poor. By the mid-century boom, it perfected suburbia: highways, lawns, hidden fences. Today it pilots universal basic income and climate protections. It works — statistically. But the hidden cost is that freedom to claw your way out shrinks until the animals forget there ever was a gate.South Carolina and places like it — the Mountain West, the rural South, the high plains — carry an older instinct. The frontier mind knows the wilderness is dangerous but would rather risk the claw than hand it over. It's not about wanting chaos; it's about accepting that a life worth living is mortal, unpredictable, never fully occupied by guardians. When settlers crossed into the forests, they feared the wilderness more than the king they left behind. Puritans wrote of the moral abyss in the trees, the space where you stood alone before God with no wall between you and failure. Out of that dread came the rugged individualist, the one who keeps the bear gun or the revolver not to kill but to remember the gate is not locked.In 1965, French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard captured this tension in Alphaville, a bleak sci-fi noir about a city run by Alpha 60, a sentient computer that abolishes contradiction and poetry. The city is orderly, safe, perfectly contained. Citizens live behind doors marked occupé — occupied — or libre — free. But freedom is an illusion; the guardians hold all the real weapons. Into this system drifts Lemmy Caution, a detective from the wild “Outer Nations.” He smuggles in a revolver and outlaw poems, proof that the wild spark always tries to slip the fence. Godard's generation feared that postwar France's technocratic planners would engineer a zoo so perfect the people would choose it themselves.When France sent America the Statue of Liberty, they gave us a flame, not a fence. The poem “Give me your tired, your poor…” is an American footnote; the torch stands as a dare: keep this wild spark alive if you can. For all our talk of British roots, America's spiritual lineage is French — the Enlightenment bet that real freedom demands risk. That legacy lives today in the states that embrace constitutional carry, stand by the “Live Free or Die” motto, and bristle at any new enclosure that feels too neat to be true.The tension is permanent. California's better zoo is a real achievement. But the meme reminds us that some people will trade longer, safer lives for the raw edge of the trees. A caged bird may live twice as long as one in the forest, but its song is the only thing that knows the truth. Godard understood this: the guardians do not always kill the wild spark — the animals do, when they forget how to find the gate marked libre. A perfect cage is still a cage. The flame stands for those who keep the claw, and the choice.Live Free or Zoo. America's Alphaville choice.

Ben Luke talks to Huma Bhabha about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Bhabha was born in 1962 in Karachi, Pakistan, and has been based in the US since 1981—she now lives in Poughkeepsie, New York state. She has achieved a profoundly individual figurative sculptural language, exploring the rich history of her medium while also looking to the future. Informed by ancient monuments, Modernist sculpture and an array of other artforms, Huma employs various sculptural traditions—from modelling with clay, to carving, to found-object assemblage—to create figures that are monumental yet vulnerable, otherworldly yet rooted in the vicissitudes of contemporary geopolitics. Alongside her sculptures, Huma has made similarly powerful work in two-dimensions, particularly in combinations of drawing and collage. She reflects on the early and ongoing impact of Rembrandt on her work, her fascination with Pablo Picasso and Robert Smithson, the influence of the writing of Amy Goodman and Roberto Bolaño and how she has responded to the films of Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Negulesco. She also gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including: what is art for?Huma Bhabha—Encounters: Giacometti, Barbican, London, until 10 Aug; Huma Bhabha: Distant Star, 13 June-26 July.

PARTIE 2 de ma rencontre avec Maurice.Il existe des personnes dont la vision du monde élargit la nôtre, à tel point qu'on ne peut plus revenir en arrière. Maurice Sauzet est de ces figures-là.Maurice crée des espaces capables de réveiller en nous l'expérience sensible du vivant. Avec lui, habiter devient une expérience existentielle — un chemin vers le sensible, l'émotion pure, l'émerveillement d'être au monde.Tout à fait normal si vous vous sentez différents apres l'écoute de cet épisode. Vous êtes invités à goûter à bien plus qu'une discussion sur l'architecture… Comme si sa pensée sur les espaces à vivre réveillait quelque chose de profondément enfoui en nous !Je ne vous le cache pas, ce moment avec Maurice Sauzet a marqué un tournant pour moi — comme si une porte que je ne soupçonnais pas s'était doucement ouverte sur un monde plus vaste, plus beau, plus vrai…plus tout. Un monde que je n'avais encore jamais exploré dans le podcast. Et dont, pour être honnête, j'ai rarement entendu évoqué dans la pensée contemporaine de l'architecture en France.Il fallait bien deux épisodes pour tenter d'embrasser la profondeur de sa parole. Maurice, 98 ans, doyen de ce podcast, incarne avec une simplicité désarmante ce qu'il appelle l'Architecture Naturelle. Et ce n'est pas juste une façon de construire. C'est une façon d'être au monde.Je repense à sa voix, à ses silences, à cette paix habitée dans sa maison.Pour moi, il se tient aux côtés de figures comme Edgar Morin, François Cheng ou Jean-Luc Godard — ces êtres qui nous redonnent foi en l'humanité, en la beauté, en l'essentiel.Ce que je vous propose ici, ce n'est pas un épisode.Je vous souhaite de l'écouter avec tout votre corps, tout votre cœur. Cet épisode est plus qu'un podcast… !Le site de Maurice Sauzet : https://www.sauzet-architectes.frDistribué par Audiomeans.

From Jan 2024. Dive into the provocative world of artistic "theft" as Ty and Nathan explore how creative innovation truly emerges from our influences. This conversation challenges the myth of pure originality, arguing instead that the greatest artists throughout history have been masterful collectors and transformers of ideas.Beginning with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto's transformative quote—"Start copying what you love... at the end of the copy you will find yourself"—the duo examines how creative development flourishes through strategic borrowing. From Quentin Tarantino's open acknowledgment of film references to David Bowie's musical influences, the most distinctive voices often emerge from those who've absorbed the most diverse inspirations.They unpack wisdom from creative legends including Jim Jarmusch, Paul Schrader, and Jean-Luc Godard, who all emphasize that true originality lies not in where you take ideas from, but where you take them to. Art movements throughout history—from Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism—evolved through artists stealing ideas from each other while working side by side, proving that innovation rarely emerges in isolation.What distinguishes mere imitation from transformative theft? When does copying become finding your voice? The conversation offers practical advice for artists at every stage: diversify your influences, document what moves you and why, maintain an "omnivorous" approach to inspiration, and create systems to capture ideas when they strike. Ultimately, the episode makes a compelling case that the most authentic artistic expression comes not from avoiding influence, but from embracing it wholeheartedly.Follow us on Instagram @ty_nathan_clark and @nathanturborg to continue exploring how creative influences shape artistic development.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg
