Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. It's a day to celebrate! We discuss the legend Maggie Cheung! Our B-Sides include Lost Romance (a.k.a. Story of Rose), Full Moon in New York, Green Snake, and Sausalito. Our esteemed guest for this episode is Nick Newman, host of the Emulsion podcast for The Film Stage. We talk about the Hong Kong New Wave, Maggie's aborted performance in Inglourious Basterds, the true B-Sidey-Ness of Sausalito, and Maggie Cheung's brief, lovely, recent Sight and Sound interview. There's also Nick's Sight and Sound List, that GQ piece, Julia Ormond's tackling a famous Audrey Hepburn role, and Nick's great interview with filmmaker Olivier Assayas back in 2022. By 2004, at the young age of forty, Cheung retired from acting. Her legacy has only cemented further in the decades since her final films, something we discuss in this episode as well.

We finally bring the brilliant, indelible work of Claire Denis to the pod with a discussion of her 1994 TV movie U.S. Go Home. Produced as part of the anthology series Tous les garcons et les filles de leur age… alongside work from other French visionaries like Chantal Akerman, Olivier Assayas and André Téchiné, Denis' film is an elliptical, compassionate coming-of-age story that regularly subverts expectations and never succumbs to the potentially regressive tendencies of its narrative milieu. We begin with some chatter about recent Hit Factory-featured filmmaker Edward Yang and a recent watch of his final work, Yi Yi. Then, we explore Denis' film - its lyrical formalism, its exquisite soundtrack - and how she crafts a work of simultaneously keen observation and hypnotic ambiguity.

Ep. 306: Olivier Assayas on his film Suspended Time, personal filmmaking, and recent favorites Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This weekend, Rendez-Vous with French Cinema presents the latest Olivier Assayas film, Suspended Time—a thoughtful and funny chronicle set in the French countryside during pandemic lockdown. Set in Assayas's parents' house, it's about much more, circling his relationship with his rock critic brother—whom he isolated with, along with their partners—and the feelings of reckoning with mortality and the past that are stirred up. I spoke with Assayas when Suspended Time originally premiered in Berlin about fictionalizing his experience, the introspection of the pandemic, the directors that influenced him, his recent viewing, and where his Irma Vep series fit into all of this. Vincent Macaigne (also in the Irma Vep series) and Micha Lescot co-star as the brothers Assayas. Suspended Time screens March 14 and 16 at Film at Lincoln Center as part of Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2025.

In this episode, we kick off the month of February with the self-aware indie satire from 1996, "Irma Vep", written and directed by Olivier Assayas and starring Maggie Cheung as herself! Listen now!

Steve McQueen es uno de los autores clave del cine del siglo XXI. Con títulos como 'Shame', '12 años de esclavitud' o la serie 'Small Axe', el británico siempre ha tenido una mirada política al cuerpo y la historia. Ahora ambienta en la Segunda Guerra Mundial su nueva película, un drama sobre una madre y un hijo que protagoniza Saoirse Ronan. Es uno de los estrenos destacados de la semana, pero además tenemos el musical 'Wicked', la comedia de Olivier Assayas, el thriller de Gerardo Herrero y nuevas series para un buen maratón.

L'attore Marco Leonardi ci racconta "Padre Pio", film diretto da Abel Ferrara, con Shia LaBeouf e Cristina Chiriac.Dal 10 al 14 luglio 2024 torna l'Umbria Film Festival Montone. Ospite d'eccezione di questa edizione è il regista francese Olivier Assayas, che abbiam incontrato e intervistato.Con il nostro Boris Sollazzo parliamo di "Twisters" diretto da Lee Isaac Chung, con Daisy Edgar-Jones e Glen Powell e di "Era mio figlio" diretto da Savi Gabizon, con Diane Kruger e Richard Gere. "Madame Luna" è un film diretto da Daniel Espinosa, con Claudia Potenza e Emanuele Vicorito. Lo ha visto per noi Chiara Pizzimenti.
durée : 00:12:30 - L'invité de 7h50 du week-end - par : Ali Baddou, Marion L'hour - Olivier Assayas, réalisateur et scénariste pour son nouveau film “Hors du temps” (en 19 juin) et la rétrospective qui lui est consacré à la Cinémathèque française jusqu'au 4 juillet 2024, est l'invité de France Inter. Il s'exprime également sur la situation politique du pays.
En el décimo episodio de Manderley —en el que contamos con la participación de Juan Carlos Lemus y Andrea Morán— hablamos de IRMA VEP de Olivier Assayas, tanto del largometraje de 1996 como de la miniserie de 8 episodios basada en ella que el propio director adaptó para televisión en 2022. Abordamos primero la relación de Assayas con el serial cinematográfico LES VAMPIRES (1915-1916) y Louis Feuillade, y contextualizamos a la actriz y cineasta pionera Musidora. En el primer bloque, dedicado a la película, detallamos los orígenes del proyecto a partir de la inspiración que le provocó al director la estrella del cine chino Maggie Cheung y las resonancias metacinematográficas de un reparto que incluye a Jean-Pierre Léaud, Bulle Ogier y Lou Castel. Luego analizamos cómo presenta el desafío de la reinterpretación posmoderna de un filme clásico y la representación del lesbianismo en el cine a través de personajes clave de ambas versiones. En la parte final del programa nos centramos la versión serializada más reciente y los vínculos intertextuales y biográficos de los personajes y de su reparto, con Alicia Vikander y Vincent Macaigne. Comentamos elementos discursivos alrededor de la mercantilización de la imagen del actor y las relaciones entre el cine de autor y la industria. Finalmente, acabamos con los elementos esotéricos y ocultistas que aporta la invocación del nombre del director experimental underground Kenneth Anger dentro de la serie y la dimensión fantasmagórica del cine tan presente en las imágenes de las dos Irma Vep.
Two reasons this podcast exist: Film Junk and Patrick Ripoll. So I'm always grateful when Patrick returns since he's the OG co-host of this show. He's always doing killer work with Reg on 96 Greers that I highly recommend. But I vividly recall two moments of the past decade: his love of Clouds of Sils Maria and my love for Personal Shopper. Made a mental note to put French filmmaker Olivier Assayas on the list of potential directors and the time has come to cover him. He will have a movie out later this year but there are plenty of past titles and new discoveries for both of us to discuss even if ultimately, he didn't become an all-time favorite for either of us. We cover the majority of his filmography and have plenty of laughs along the way! Thank you to Patrick for being a consistently smart, insightful guest with plenty to say. No new episode in April but you'll get two special ones in May featuring Bill Ackerman early in the month and then Mitchell Beaupre later in the month!

Do not take your phone off Airplane mode because we're heading to Paris to discuss Olivier Assayas' Personal Shopper (2016). Helping us sift through this fascinating, dense film is Trace's better half (and frequent returning guest) Ari Drew! Join us as we heap all the praise on Kristen Stewart before diving into all things supernatural (and technology!), linking the film to the recent wave of liminal horror films. Plus: Joe "raps" (yes, really), fade-outs galore, the necessity of on-screen nudity, silly conversations about gorillas and one of the scariest scenes to come out of the 2010s.

Berlinalen 2024: I denne andre podkastpraten fra filmfestivalen i Berlin kaster vi et blikk på et knippe ulike filmer, fra Atlantique-regissør Mati Diops nye film Dahomey – som lørdag kveld vant Gullbjørnen – til Olivier Assayas' pandemifilm og noen høydepunkter fra Generation-seksjonen. I vår første rapport fra årets Berlinale (hør episoden her) kikket vi nærmere på noen av de norske bidragene som har blitt vist i kinosalene på Potsdamer Platz, så i denne episoden løfter vi perspektivet og ser på en bred bukett av ganske ulike festivaloppdagelser. I tillegg til titlene nevnt ovenfor snakker vi også i starten av episoden om Tilman Singers grøsser Cuckoo, som ble vist utenfor konkurranse som en av Berlinalens Special Gala-presentasjoner, med Euphoria-sjernen Hunter Schafer i hovedrollen. For puritanerne kan vi varsle at panelet går litt inn på plottet i filmen, så for alle som ønsker å se Cuckoo uten å vite noe, kan man spole forbi og frem til ca. 8 minutter ut i episoden. Ved mikrofonene sitter Lars Ole Kristiansen, Pernille Middelthon og Simon Holm. God lytting!

Subscribe to the Film Comment Letter to stay up-to-date. One of the early and most anticipated premieres of this year's festival was Olivier Assayas's new film Suspended Time. It's a kind of companion piece to his 2008 movie Summer Hours, not to mention his recent TV series Irma Vep, although Suspended Time is the filmmaker's most direct foray yet into autofiction. The film is based on the time that Assayas spent during the pandemic lockdowns of 2020 confining with his brother Etienne—and their two partners—in their childhood home in the French countryside. The film stars Vincent Macaigne as a thinly veiled onscreen surrogate for Assayas (as in Irma Vep) and features dramatized scenes of the two brothers bonding, clashing, and reminiscing on the ways in which this house and home shaped them as artists and as men. Assayas also weaves interludes throughout the film, narrated by the director himself, in which he reflects on the objects and the landscapes of his youth, and how they've influenced his cinema. On today's Podcast, FC Co-Editor Devika Girish interviewed Assayas about the making of the film, his thoughts on the genre of autofiction, and his relationship with his leading man, Vincent Macaigne, who he describes as an “agent of chaos.”

We finish up Olivier Assayas' Carlos with the final episode of the 3-part miniseries. While the original idea for a film about Ilich Ramírez Sánchez was to focus on his ultimate arrest and life just before that, Carlos Part 3 covers that time period with what amounts to a montage of scenes that end in ellipses. Our bonus features this week also reveal some surprises about Assayas' sources, and show that at least Edgar Ramírez understands he's playing a character even as Assayas continues to equivocate whether or not this work is historically accurate.
Our second episode on Olivier Assayas' Carlos (2010) finds the film in overdrive trying to strip away any ideological motivation from its main character and paint him as moving toward purely profit-driven, which is probably the worst thing a Marxist could be. While Disc 2's additional features have our first behind the scenes look with Assayas insisting that he is being true to reality as much as possible, there's already been a lot of speculation that seemingly serves to only depoliticize Carlos' actions. But at least the music is very, very good.
The only work we've seen from Olivier Assayas before is Summer Hours, part of the Criterion Collections sub-collection of getting 21st century cinema into their purview by releasing seemingly every non-US family drama produced in the first decade of the new millennium. Like all those films (Yi Yi, Secert Sunshine, etc) we enjoyed Summer Hours. We return to Assayas in the Collection this week with a very different film, well the first of three, actually. Carlos (2010) is a sort of biopic (though with plenty of editorializing, supposition, and fictionalization) of the life of freedom fighter or terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, popularly known as Carlos the Jackal. The work is a 3-part miniseries of feature length tv films, and we'll be tackling each in its own episode, sprinkling in Criterion's ample supplements, in order to give the total 339 minute runtime of Carlos its proper due. This week we see Carlos as a fledgling freedom fighter, aligning with the Popular Front for Palestinian Liberation and deciding that means blowing stuff up in France. Episode one (and this week's supplements) lay the foundation for what I hope does not prove to be the main thesis of the film: that Carlos is a hypocritical womanizer ultimately more interested in bourgeois comforts than in Palestinian liberation. We also cover disc 4 of the set, which contains what seems to be a good chunk of Assayas's sources: two tv documentaries on Carlos and an interview with then-on-the-run former Carlos associate Hans-Joachim Klein.
L'humoriste et actrice, âgée de 40 ans, nous reçoit chez elle, au cœur du onzième arrondissement à Paris, à l'occasion du lancement de son tout nouveau one woman show.Nora Hamzawi évoque son enfance dans le seizième arrondissement, auprès d'une mère branchée férue d'art et d'une frère et d'une sœur dont elle se sent proche. Son père, Syrien, est décédé quand elle était très jeune. Très vite, elle est fascinée par les femmes, leurs dysfonctionnements, leur liberté et fantasme sa vie d'adulte. Elle se passionne pour la figure de l'extraterrestre, E.T. notamment, Britney Spears, la série « Beverly Hills » ou les vêtements moulants et plus tard Sophie Calle et « Seinfeld » qui lui ouvrent la possibilité de se raconter. Elle aborde sa manière d'aborder l'écriture et la scène, sa volonté de se confronter aux normes et aux injonctions. Côté cinéma, elle loue « Anatomie d'une chute » de Justine Triet, son « film préféré des dix dernières années », « Jeanne Dielman » de Chantal Ackerman et Olivier Assayas avec qui elle adore tourner. Nora Hamzawi, qui a pris très tôt des antidépresseurs, se confie également sur son attraction pour les médicaments.Elle revient, enfin, longuement sur son amour de la bande dessinée : « J'ai une bibliothèque sur mesure chez moi pour les ranger. J'adore les mangas “Histoires de Kisaeng” ou “Chiisakobe”. J'aime beaucoup les livres de Pénélope Bagieu, de Taniguchi. Et ça, “Hyperbole”, d'Allie Brosh. Elle raconte ses névroses, son rapport à son chien, à la vie, la dépression. C'est génial. »Depuis cinq saisons, la journaliste et productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal) préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et Johanna SebanRéalisation : Guillaume GiraultMusique : Gotan Project

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we have the pleasure of reuniting two intensely creative individuals who first worked together decades ago: Emily Haines and Olivier Assayas. Haines is, of course, the singer and primary songwriter for the band Metric, which she's been fronting for the past 20-plus years, and which sprang from the same fertile Canadian scene that gave the world Broken Social Scene and Stars, among many others—in fact, it's Haines' voice that you hear on Broken Social Scene's biggest (and I would argue best) song, “Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl.” But her primary focus over the years has of course been Metric, which just released their ninth album of thought-provoking indie-rock anthems, Formentera II. It's a sequel to the excellent album they released exactly a year prior, and another collection of danceable, fantastic songs. Check out “Just the Once,” from Formentera II, which Haines describes as “regret disco.” So what does a catchy Canadian indie band have to do with a fearless French filmmaker like Olivier Assayas? A lot, as it turns out. Back when Assayas was prepping his 2004 film Clean, he needed a band to perform in a scene, and when he saw Metric, everything clicked: You can see the band perform their early hit “Dead Disco” in the movie, and Haines and Assayas hit it off after working together. Like Metric, Assayas has created an incredible body of work over the years, and done it—again like Metric—by following his own muse. His best-known films include Irma Vep, Clouds of Sils Maria, and 2016's Personal Shopper, for which he was proclaimed Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival. In a strange twist, he was asked to re-created Irma Vep as a TV series for HBO, which he did under the condition that he have total artistic freedom. That came out last year, and it's definitely worth checking out. These two get right into a great discussion about how they approach creating their art: Both rely on instinct rather than any desire for commercial success. They talk about the real Formentera—it's an island in Spain—versus the one Haines created for these albums. They touch on Haines' father, a well-known poet, and how that might have figured into her creative growth. Also, you'll learn from this chat that every piano has one great song in it. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Emily Haines and Olivier Assayas for chatting.

The Orphanage (2007) The Orphanage (Spanish: El orfanato) is a 2007 Spanish gothic supernatural horror film and the debut feature of Spanish filmmaker J. A. Bayona. The film stars Belén Rueda as Laura, Fernando Cayo as her husband, Carlos, and Roger Príncep as their adopted son Simón. The plot centers on Laura, who returns to her childhood home, an orphanage. Laura plans to turn the house into a home for disabled children, but after an argument with Laura, Simón goes missing. The film's script was written by Sergio G. Sánchez in 1996 and brought to the attention of Bayona in 2004. Bayona asked his long-time friend, director Guillermo del Toro, to help produce the film and to double its budget and filming time. Bayona wanted the film to capture the feel of 1970s Spanish cinema; he cast Geraldine Chaplin and Belén Rueda, who were later praised for their roles in the film. Personal Shopper (2017) Personal Shopper is a 2016 supernatural psychological thriller film written and directed by Olivier Assayas. The film stars Kristen Stewart as a young American woman in Paris who works as a personal shopper for a celebrity and tries to communicate with her deceased twin brother. An international co-production between Belgium, Czech Republic, France and Germany, the film was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. At Cannes, Assayas shared the Best Director Award with Cristian Mungiu, who directed Graduation. The film was released on 14 December 2016 in France and 10 March 2017 in the United States. The film received positive reviews from critics, with particular praise for Stewart's performance.

Olivier Assayas wrote and directed "Irma Vep" that portrays the state of French cinema at the time by placing the audience in the middle of making a film. A film about a film like how Assayas did is very invasive in an artful way. I briefly explain this method in this episode. I really enjoyed the film, it's nice to see people break down in normal situations, it's nice to see how people coexist despite their upbringings. It's not said but it's displayed and I think it adds progressive tendencies as to why we do the things we do.#irmavep #maggiecheung #morningreel
Quase trinta anos depois do filme e mais de um século após a série original, Irma Vep está de volta e mais cool do que nunca - agora na telinha! Retornando à televisão, Olivier Assayas faz sua primeira aventura pela HBO com um “remake” do filme que o consagrou no pop em formato de minissérie, agora escalando Alicia Vikander para o papel da atriz que interpreta a icônica personagem do cinema francês numa produção às avessas. E com a metalinguagem em alta, é apenas óbvio que a série triplique o volume de comentários incisivos sobre a indústria do cinema, ainda mais numa era onde obras viraram conteúdo e o meio - mais do que nunca - é movido pelo capital. No Cinemático 311, Carlos Merigo, Guilherme Jacobs e Pedro Strazza conversam sobre a minissérie, comparam com o filme de 1996 e analisam o que Assayas busca tirar de novo nessa nova versão. E afinal, seria o personagem de Vincent Macaigne o hipocondríaco do ano? spoilers: 28m57s notas: 38m38s ASSINE: catarse.me/cinematico SIGA @CINEMATICOPOD Apresentação: Carlos MerigoProdução e Pesquisa: Pedro StrazzaEdição e Sonorização: Marcelo MirandaAtendimento e Comercialização: FTPI / Boo-BoxContato: cinematico@b9.com.brSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week's podcast initially began as a sequel to our episode about Irma Vep from a few weeks ago, in which Adam Nayman and Beatrice Loayza joined us to discuss Olivier Assayas's new HBO series. We had only seen four episodes at the time, and we wanted to reconvene our guests, now that the miniseries has finished its run of eight episodes. But as we dug into the film-within-a-film rabbit holes of Irma Vep, its commentaries on auteurism and autofiction, and how it blurs the lines between reality, narrative, and fantasy, we realized that it echoed the themes of another series everyone has been talking about recently: The Rehearsal, by Nathan Fielder. So this episode brings you a double dose of meta: Irma Vep and The Rehearsal, and the ethics of making movies about oneself, other people, and movie-making itself.

Karen and Wynter have been seduced by Irma Vep, Olivier Assayas' “serialized” HBO Max revisitation of his own 1996 indie film of the same name starring screen goddess Maggie Cheung (his ex-wife). The two get into all the series' meta-narratives,, including Alicia Vikander as a modified K-Stew. Light SPOILERS. Karen is obsessed with #PREATH's (Christen Press and Tobin Heath's) sizzle on the ESPYs red carpet, while Wynter loves up on Nathan Fielder in The Rehearsal.

These last two weeks, HBO Max has been serving up catnip for cinephiles with Olivier Assayas's new, mind-bendingly metatextual show, Irma Vep. In 1996, Assayas made a film with the same title, about the attempts of an aging French filmmaker to remake Louis Feuillade's classic silent serial, Les vampires, with Maggie Cheung as the original vamp, Irma Vep. The new series expands on and reimagines that premise with a mise-en-abyme structure: here, a neurotic filmmaker seemingly modeled on Assayas remakes Feuillade's serial for a contemporary, binge-TV audience. Alicia Vikander plays Mira Harberg, an American pop heroine who is cast as Irma Vep among a glossy, transnational crew of actors. In the four episodes available to critics so far, Irma Vep engages with its multiple sources, its medium, and the lives of its creators in increasingly surprising and thought-provoking ways. On this week's podcast, FC editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute invited critics Adam Nayman and Beatrice Loayza to dig into the series' endless rabbit holes and riffs on the history of serials, cinema, and, well, content.

The cat suit was an aesthetic concept first ideated by the french filmmaker and actress Musidora. Since that first inception in 1915, many a movie heroine (or villainess) has donned the black, skin-tight image we come to see in IRMA VEP. But to focus on the physical beauty of its star (Maggie Cheung), is to miss the point (if not entirely).Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

We've got three foreign language movies for you, but stick with us, don't leave! They're all fascinating. The first is Gaspar Noe's "Vortex," which we're both really, really into, and then there's Finnish "elevated horror" film "Hatching." Then we have a Reboot, the Olivier Assayas 1996 film "Irma Vep." Good stuff! Timestamps: 11:13 "Vortex" 37:24 "Hatching" 59:34 "Irma Vep" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.
