Tom Schilling, Albrecht Schuch and Saskia Rosendahl play young friends in Berlin between the wars in Dominik Graf’s dramatic coming-of-ager. Three bright, talented young people in their 20s struggle to find their place in a rotten society, scarred by Germany’s defeat in World War I and menaced by the rising tide of Nazism, in Fabian — Going to the Dogs ( Fabian oder Der Gang vor die Hunde. ) This second screen adaptation of Erich Kastner’s now classic 1931 novel (the first was directed by Wolf Gremm in 1980) marks a stylistically daring attempt to capture the zeitgeist by director Dominik Graf, who returns to Berlin competition where his historical romance Beloved Sisters bowed in 2014. Fabian 's Fassbinder redux atmosphere first attracts and then tires, but should add value in German-speaking markets. The film’s double title reflects some of the novel’s tribulations — it was originally published in Germany in a bowdlerized version called simply Fabian , but even cutting … [Read more...] about ‘Fabian — Going to the Dogs’: Film Review | Berlin 2021

Diane Warren And Laura Pausini Win Original Song Golden Globe For ‘Io Si (Seen)’ From ‘The Life Ahead’
UPDATED with video: Six-time Golden Globe award nominee and, now, two-time winner Diane Warren was brief in her acceptance speech for Best Original Song – Motion Picture on Sunday, when the habitually soft-spoken composer got to the point for her work on “Io Si (Seen)” from Netflix’s The Life Ahead . She thanked director Eduardo Ponti, and the film’s star – and Ponti’s famous mother — Sophia Loren. She then said of the film, “It’s such a beautiful story about people who aren’t really seen and they see each other and they see each other through love. And that’s what inspired the song. So thank you again. Warren shares the award with Niccolò Agliardi and Laura Pausini , the latter of whom also spoke. Pausini thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press, saying, “Grazie Mille,” which translates to “a thousand graces” in Italian. “Io Si (Seen)” won in a field that also included nominees “Fight for You” by D’Mile, H.E.R. and Tiara Thomas from Judas and the Black Messiah ; … [Read more...] about Diane Warren And Laura Pausini Win Original Song Golden Globe For ‘Io Si (Seen)’ From ‘The Life Ahead’
Watch Jane Fonda’s Moving Acceptance Speech at the 2021 Golden Globes
Actress, activist and living legend Jane Fonda was the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 2021 Golden Globes . In a mostly remote ceremony, the 83-year-old Fonda appeared onstage at the Globes while following Covid-19 safety protocols to accept her award. Eschewing the usual script for Golden Globes honorary acceptance speeches, Fonda turned the attention away from herself and onto the nominees this year, and highlighted both the diversity of the films and television series recognized (or not recognized) that made her empathize with people of all backgrounds and experiences. “Just this year, Nomadland helped me feel love for the wanderers among us,” Fonda said, “and Minari opened my eyes to the experience of immigrants dealing with the realities of life in a new land, and Judas and the Black Messiah , Small Axe , United States vs. Billie Holiday , Ma Rainey and One Night in Miami and others have deepened my empathy for what being Black has meant. Ramy … [Read more...] about Watch Jane Fonda’s Moving Acceptance Speech at the 2021 Golden Globes
‘Star Wars’ Legacy I: Five Iconic Directors Recall When George Lucas Changed Everything
Star Wars: The Force Awakens has finally opened, and once the unprecedented hype and opening weekend passes, we will begin to focus on the Star Wars legacy and how closely JJ Abrams came to infusing moviegoers back to the love and wonder they felt when they saw George Lucas ’s original 1977 game-changing blockbuster. How profound was that first film? I asked directors Peter Jackson , Ridley Scott , Guillermo del Toro , Ron Howard and Luc Besson to remember. I chose them because they are all great directors who’ve pushed the envelope themselves and span countries all over the world. Turns out that experience nearly 40 years ago was similar to seminal events like when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, where everybody remembers where they were when it happened. Every director recalls exactly the moment they saw the film and cinema changed forever. Related Story 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Shatters Preview Night B.O.
