Ce mois-ci, deux nouveautés chez Next Shot ainsi que deux tournages, dont un photographié par une directrice de la photographie de l’AFC.

Ce compte rendu de ma visite à IBC (suite et fin) repose sur point de vue forcément subjectif. Aux annonces faites en amont de cette manifestation, j’ai tendance à privilégier plutôt la rencontre avec les exposants que je connais et les conseils de Jon Fauer – encore lui. Jon a en effet très souvent connaissance avant tout le monde de nouveautés intéressantes et de stands à aller voir absolument.

For his first film as director (and co-operator with Nico Aguilar), Mexican cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC adapts for the 3^rd time for the screen a so called unadaptable classic of Mexican literature. An evocation of Mexico during the revolutionary period which takes place over several eras with the dual recreation of a village and its ruins after its abandonment.
A strange 130 min Netflix experience which deals with surrealism, dreams and the nostalgia of an era. As in Toruń to present his film to cinematographers from around the world, the filmmaker talks to us about it and his transition to directing. (FR)

In The Gate, a documentary on the psychological and human toll of war on veterans and soldiers’ families, directors Michael David Beamish and Jasmin Herold paint a particularly bleak portrait of America. Blending a style that at times resembles fiction with classic documentary elements - such as voiceovers and everyday life - The Gate is shot and edited by Dutch cinematographer and director Claire Pijman, NSC. While in Bitola, she discussed this unconventional project, which was filmed in two sessions separated by the pandemic. (FR)

A steroid-enhanced variation on a classic piece of fantastic literature (Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray or Balzac’s La Peau de chagrin), The Substance offers director Coralie Fargeat the opportunity to bring two 1980s superstars back into the limelight—and to pour thousands of blood gallons onto the Grand Théâtre Lumière screen. While homages to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo are instantly recognizable, British cinematographer Benjamin Kračun also cites Roman Polanski’s Repulsion and Paul Verhoeven’s Total Recall, two other major studio films. He further explains how this strange film, which every single shot smells California , was entirely made in France, between Paris and Nice. The Substance is in competition for the 77^th Palme d’Or.

A variation on steroids on a classic of fantasy literature (Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray or Balzac’s La Peau de chagrin), The Substance offers director Coralie Fargeat the opportunity to propel two 1980s super stars back to the top of the bill... and spill thousands of liters of blood on the screen of the Grand Théâtre Lumière. While the strong homages to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo are obvious at a glance, British cinematographer Benjamin Kračun, BSC, also cites Roman Polanski’s Repulsion and Paul Verhoeven’s Total Recall, two other great studio films. He also explains how this strange, California-scented film was shot entirely in France, between Paris and Nice... The Substance is in competition for the 77^th Palme d’Or. (FR)

For his second film as a director, actor Viggo Mortensen tells a love story hindered by the Civil War. He stars alongside Vicky Krieps, in an atmosphere that blends classic and modern Western elements. Enhanced by intertwining editing of different time lines, and stunning cinematography by Marcel Zyskind, DFF, the film was shot on locations across Mexico & Canada. It’s presented out of competition during a special screening at Camerimage. (FR)
