Lose yourself in the endless corridors of the YouTube-to-Hollywood pipeline, while the critics break down The Discourse around the new filmmaker ("He's 20") and his box office smash and find out whether the two consider it sensational enough to enter the Take-Up's canon. After that, Andrew and Joshua have One More Thing.To celebrate (or explicate) Joshua's transatlantic move to France, the next episode will celebrate Olivier Assayas' 1996 ode to being a stranger in a strange land (and ode to his future wife and all-time great actor Maggie Cheung) Irma Vep.Read on at thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

Il sera question d'art, et de la meilleure des manières, sur le plateau d'Au bonheur des livres qui accueille cette semaine Olivier Assayas et Michel Bernard. Le premier, que l'on connaît évidemment comme cinéaste, publie un livre assez étonnant dans la collection « Traits et portraits » dirigée par Colette Fellous au Mercure de France : « Oublier la peinture ». Comme son titre l'indique, il s'agit d'une autobiographie (illustrée) qui raconte comment l'auteur de Demonlover a connu dans son jeu âge une vocation de dessinateur et peintre avant de l'abandonner pour le cinéma… Ce qui ne fut pas le cas d'André Derain, dont Michel Bernard raconte le parcours singulier, qui passa par la compromission avec l'Allemagne pendant la Seconde guerre mondiale, pour demeurer cependant celui d'un artiste original, auquel il valait la peine de consacrer une telle biographie : « L'automne d'André Derain » (Ed. Les belles lettres). Nul doute que nos deux invités sauront nous faire approcher, dans leur dialogue avec Claire Chazal, les mystères jamais résolus de la création ! Hébergé par Acast.

The new horror entry "Obsession" falls into the 'be careful what you ask for, you may get it' genre. This effective little chiller is about a man who buys a supernatural toy that grants him a wish. He wishes that a girl he has a crush on would fall madly in love with him. Emphasis on the "madly." Her obsession with him quickly escalates into violence. Well-acted by relative newcomers Michael Johnston and Inde Navarette, “Obsession” is a creepy tongue-in-cheek bit of midnight movie exploitation. The political drama "The Wizard of the Kremlin" is an interesting bit of historical fiction. It involves the rise of Vladimir Putin from KGB insider to Russian tsar. Paul Dano plays a theatrical artist who uses his skills as a spin doctor to rise from obscurity and become Putin's morally conflicted deputy chief of staff. Jude Law is appropriately chilling as Putin. Based on a novel by political essayist Giuliano da Empoli and directed by Olivier Assayas, “The Wizard of the Kremlin is thoughtful and well produced but never manages to build any dramatic momentum. Even if you're not a fan of comic actor Martin Short, you'll probably find a lot to like in the Netflix documentary, "Marty, Life is Short." Director Lawrence Kasdan has assembled a loving tribute to his longtime friend, using a vast library of home videos and film clips, plus interviews with Short's many famous showbiz pals. Short, who is enjoying a late career resurgence in popularity thanks to "Only Murders in the Building," has endured more than his share of tragedies and triumphs. Thanks largely to Short's sunny approach to sarcasm, "Marty, Life is Short" is a funny and touching overview.

We're starting with the cinematic event of the season: Antoine Fuqua's massive biopic, Michael. Starring Jaafar Jackson in a breakout performance as his uncle, Michael Jackson, this film covers everything from the Jackson 5 era to the legendary Bad tour.Fun Flix Fact: Talk about keeping it in the family! Jaafar Jackson didn't just win the role because of his last name; director Antoine Fuqua said he was "blown away" by the uncanny resemblance in his voice and dance moves during a worldwide search.Era Magic: To capture the passage of time, the production used specific filming techniques and lens types for each decade, subtly shifting from the warm, grainier look of the 1970s to the sharp, high-contrast "pop" of the late 80s.Next, we're shifting gears to the high-stakes world of political manipulation in The Wizard of the Kremlin. Directed by Olivier Assayas, it stars Paul Dano as Vadim Baranov, the "spin doctor" who helped shape the rise of Vladimir Putin.Fun Flix Fact: Jude Law takes on the daunting task of playing Vladimir Putin. Interestingly, the film chooses to have the cast speak in their natural accents (mostly British and American) rather than putting on Russian accents—a choice intended to emphasize the universal nature of power and media manipulation.Book to Screen: The film is based on the award-winning 2022 novel by Giuliano da Empoli, which was so popular in France that it became a major political talking point during the real-world elections!To tie into our review of Michael, we're looking back 10 years at the 2016 biopic Nina, starring Zoe Saldaña as the legendary Nina Simone. We discuss the parallels—and the massive differences—in how these two films handle the legacy of musical giants.Fun Flix Fact: This film remains one of the most controversial biopics in recent history. Mary J. Blige was originally cast as Nina Simone back in 2010 but had to drop out due to scheduling and funding delays, leading to Saldaña taking the lead.The Legacy: Unlike the Michael biopic, which was made with the Estate's cooperation, Nina Simone's family famously refused to endorse this film. Zoe Saldaña herself has since expressed deep regret about the role, sparking a decade-long conversation about casting and authenticity in Hollywood.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters!

Jude Law schlüpft in die Rolle von Vladimir Putin, Paul Dano spielt seinen amoralischen Berater. Die außer Kontrolle geratene Jelzin-Ära befindet sich in ihrem Endstadium, als ein Oligarch sich einen unscheinbar wirkenden KGBler namens Putin als nächsten Präsidenten der Russischen Föderation auswählt. „Der Magier im Kreml“ erzählt rückblickend den Aufstieg Putins und analysiert die Manifestation seiner Macht durch seinen gewieften Berater Baranow, eigentlich Surkow. Olivier Assayas, bekannt durch die Serie „Carlos – Der Schakal“ inszeniert die Chronologie der Tyrannei nüchtern und schlaglichtartig, jedoch erkennen wir darin in den besten Momenten des Films auch in verzerrter Weise uns selbst. Putin ist zweifellos das Extrem, aber dieses lässt offenbar werden, was man als Dilemma – selbst in einer Demokratie – bezeichnen darf: Die Diskrepanz zwischen Staat und Bevölkerung. Der Polit-Thriller demonstriert zudem: Die Macht ist leer, sie blickt in einen Abgrund, aber dennoch ist sie mächtig. Mehr dazu von Wolfgang M.

Čarovnik iz Kremlja je politični triler, ki nas poda v svet Vadima Baranova, vsestranskega svetovalca Vladimirja Putina, glavnega junaka knjižne uspešnice Kremeljski mag italijanskega pisatelja Giuliana da Empolija. Gre za zgodbo o načinih politične manipulacije in povzpetništva v postsovjetski Rusiji, ki se je po Stalinovi smrti znašla na križišču dveh različnih političnih struj – kreniti v smeri ameriškega tipa demokracije ali po poti “klasičnega” ruskega avtoritarizma, ki ga je zasejal Stalin s svojo diktatorsko držo. Režiser filma in soscenarist Olivier Assayas, ki je skupaj s pisateljem Empolijem in filmskim režiserjem Emanuellom Carrèrejem začrtal scenaristično predlogo, nam že na začetku filma namreč nakaže, da tretje poti za postsovjetsko Rusijo enostavno ni. Avtogol pri izbiri novega predsednika naj bi si pravzaprav zabili ruski oligarhi v svoji naivni veri, da bo mladi uslužbenec obveščevalne službe precej bolj očetovski lik od dementnega Jelcina in “materinskega” Gorbačova, zagretega zagovornika prepovedi alkohola. Tovrstni oligarhi, ki močno spominjajo tudi na slovenske direktorske povzpetnike, ki so vznikali po slovenski osamosvojitvi kot gobe po dežju in sistematično uničevali eno tovarno za drugo, so čez noč zaslužili ogromne vsote denarja, si gradili vile na francoski obali in se ob vsaki priložnosti mešali v politiko. Tako ne preseneča, da je Putin s pomočjo Baranova z njimi obračunal na edini način, ki ga je pravzaprav poznal in za katerega je trdil, da ga državljani Rusije od Stalina naprej pričakujejo. Film gradi na nasprotju med ameriškim neoliberalnim kapitalizmom, ki ga žene gonja po denarju in ruskim suverenizmom, ki naj bi temeljil na geopolitični (pre)potentnosti in nietzchejanski volji po moči. Vendar pa pravi “nadčlovek” v filmu ni Putin, ki po nastopu predsedniškega mesta stopi v bran teritorialni obnovi nekdanje Sovjetske zveze, temveč njegov svetovalec. Ta se iz gledališkega režiserja in producenta resničnostnih oddaj prelevi v soustvarjalca ruske notranje in zunanje politike. Igra ga Paul Dano, ameriški igralec in režiser neodvisnih filmov in hollywoodskih uspešnic, ki s primesmi stoicizma in zenovske miline pokaže na protagonistovo sposobnost mediatorstva v še tako zahtevnih situacijah. V vlogi Vladimirja Putina nastopa Jude Law, ki se mu tokrat uspe povsem znebiti pretencioznih grimas, ki smo jih vajeni iz njegovih hollywoodskih filmov, tako da nam lik Putina že na začetku postane precej simpatičen prav zaradi njegove prizemljenosti, nesprenevedanja in odločnosti. Edino, kar zmoti že na začetku filma, je angleško-ameriška govorica, ki jo brezhibno govorijo praktično vsi “ruski” protagonisti. Glede tega v filmu še najbolje izpade ruski oz. latvijski igralec Andrei Zayats, edini igralec s slovanskimi potezami obraza in avtohtonim ruskim naglasom. Čeprav je Čarovnik iz Kremlja narejen v hollywoodski maniri s številnimi stranskimi igralci, ki na hitro vstopajo in izstopajo iz kadra, nam ostanejo v spominu določeni prizori – kot je npr. dialog med Baranovim in ruskim šahovskim mojstrom Kasparovom, ki mu v enem trenutku navrže, da je razlika med pravo in Putinovo demokracijo podobna razliki med navadnim in električnim stolom. Omenimo še pogovor med Baranovim in ameriškim novinarjem, ki mu v intervjuju želi povzročiti slabo vest s sklicevanjem na zrežirane teroristične napade v Moskvi in Kijevu, ki naj bi jih dirigiral Putin ob podpori svojega zvestega svetovalca. Film Čarovnik iz Kremlja se ne more pohvaliti z izvrstnim poznavanjem geopolitičnih razmer, saj jih vseeno motri z vzvišene pozicije ameriško-evropske naveze, ki pridiga o vrednotah demokracije, v istem trenutku, ko se pod njimi – ob zakrivanju oči pred ameriško-izraelskimi zločini na Bližnjem Vzhodu – na vseh nivojih do temeljev sesuva. Verjetno pa je njegova največja prednost v tem, da ga bodo gledalci iz Vzhodne in Zahodne Evrope ter Združenih držav Amerike gledali vsak na svoj način – skozi prizmo zgodovinskih in aktualnih političnih razmer v svoji državi.

Night Shyamalan, Olivier Assayas, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Béla Tarr, Claire Denis, Christian Petzold, Tilda Swinton, and Ryusuke Hamaguchi––among many others––Carlo Chatrian reshaped the festival landscape with his work as artistic director of the Locarno Film Festival and Berlinale, his influence such that an abdication of his position at the latter in 2023 caused an honest-to-God outcry. He is now serving as director of the National Cinema Museum in Turin and, for the last couple weeks, also acted as head of the international competition jury at the Tokyo International Film Festival. While we were both there, I sought the opportunity to ask him about these responsibilities, and found myself engaged in a rigorous serious conversation about where he sees cinema culture at the moment, where it might be headed, and––amidst all this––reasons to be hopeful.

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.

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.
