Considering it’s never been more than a few years between feature films for Jim Jarmusch, here’s hoping we get news about his next project soon. In the meantime, after many singles, EPs, and score contributions to his own films, Jarmusch and Carter Logan’s band SQÜRL is now set to release their first fully-fledged album. Titled “Silver Haze,” it’ll drop on May 5 via Sacred Bones and the first single “Berlin ’87” has arrived.
With a hat tip to Brooklyn Vegan, they report the Randall Dunn-produced album also features Charlotte Gainsbourg, Anika, and Marc Ribot. Jem Cohen has also directed the music video for the first single. “He’s one of our favorite filmmakers, and with his magical hands and eyes, he somehow captures the most evocative details that most people don’t even notice,” the band said. “The images he has chosen and shaped so perfectly evoke the feeling of our music,...

Phillip Youmans’ “Burning Cane” took home the Founders Award for best narrative feature at the 18th annual Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday, with star Wendell Pierce earning Best Actor.
Youmans, a 19-year-old freshman at NYU, is the first African-American director to win the Founders Award and the youngest director to have a feature in Tribeca — he was just 17 when he wrote, directed and shot the film, about the fractious relationship between a mother and son in rural Louisiana.
Korean director Bora Kim’s “House of Hummingbird” won for best international narrative feature, and Ji-hu Park won best international actress.
In addition, Ellen Fiske and Ellinor Hallin won for their documentary feature “Scheme Birds.”
Here’s the complete list of winners.

Friendships rarely start on terms more passive-aggressive than an intergenerational one does in “Good Posture,” writer-director Dolly Wells’ roughly drafted feature debut that manages to be just affable enough. Navigating the bookish streets of New York again after playing a kindhearted bookstore owner in “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” — this time, behind the camera in present-day Brooklyn — Wells swaddles her film with her soft artistic spirit; an aura she also infused into Marielle Heller’s melancholic drama. The result is a genial slice-of-life comedy, a female-driven, late-coming-of-age tale in the tradition of Lynn Shelton’s “Laggies,” exclusively brewed and bottled among the tree-lined sidewalks of Bed-Stuy.
While sufficiently charming, “Good Posture” would have been mostly unremarkable if it weren’t for sensational “The Meyerowitz Stories” actor Grace Van Patten, who plays recent college graduate Lilian, an entitled and thoroughly privileged brat who hides her aimless existence behind her noticeable beauty.

Lynne Ramsay On Bouncing Back
In the winter of 2013-14, Lynne Ramsay disappeared to the Greek Island of Santorini to seek refuge after the traumatic experience of having to quit “Jane Got a Gun” right as production began, having concluded the producers would never let her make her version of the film she’d worked on for years.
“I found it quite peaceful and I could get quite focused, perhaps because I thought I was going to make a film and I didn’t and that was really painful,” said Ramsay.

Among the better known creations of the American comic author Jonathan Ames is the endearingly questing writer turned unlicensed private detective played by Jason Schwartzman in the HBO TV series Bored to Death. The character’s name is “Jonathan Ames”. The protagonist of Ames’s graphic novel, The Alcoholic, is called Jonathan A. The first person journalism Ames wrote in the 1990s was so outlandishly revelatory that it was widely thought the “Jonathan Ames” of the byline must have been a fictional construct. How revelatory? There was a piece about the brief sexual encounter that he found out two years later resulted in the conception of his son. Another about the night he smoked crack for the first time,...

Joaquin Phoenix plays a traumatized veteran who has built a career out of tracking down and saving missing girls, until one job goes very wrong, in the psychological thriller You Were Never Really Here
A few years back, a film called We Need To Talk About Kevin turned up in theaters, one of the most disturbing and frightening of films about parenting gone as wrong as possible. The director behind that devastatingly horrifying film was a Scottish writer/director Lynne Ramsay, whose other films are Ratcatcher and Morven Callar. Ramsay is also the creative force behind You Were Never Really Here, which is based on a noir thriller by American writer Jonathan Ames.
Lynne Ramsay is considered, by some, to be one of the world’s greatest living filmmakers.

In You Were Never Really Here, Joaquin Phoenix plays Joe, a traumatized veteran who tracks down missing girls for a living. You Were Never Really Here is directed by Lynne Ramsay and based on the book of the same name by Jonathan Ames. Ramsay’s last film We Need to Talk About Kevin was as stellar and unsettling as they come. She’s an exciting filmmaker, and despite an April release of her film, will be talked about during awards season this fall.
My only caveat is that I didn’t watch this trailer until after I saw the movie. I watched about 10 seconds just to see what it was all about and I turned it off. I knew I was in. Having said that, it’s not that the trailer ruins the movie, my viewing experience having not watched the trailer was great. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Having said that, it’s not that the trailer ruins the movie, my viewing experience having not watched the trailer was great. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Chicago – Actor Joaquin Phoenix almost solely specializes in portraying broken souls, but he also does it with such intensity that he adds necessary depth to those characters, to allow for their redemption. As a hit man for hire in the new film “You Were Never Really Here,” he again reaches beyond the darkness.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
The film is an adaptation of a Jonathan Ames novel, and is directed by Lynne Ramsay (“We Need to Talk About Kevin”). Like “Kevin,” it is a moody interpretation of a highly salacious subject, the use of preteen girls for prostitution. Phoenix is a hardened Marine combat veteran-turned-hit-man whose only soft spot is for his aging mother. The process of the story is to get him to feel again, but it is done through many tortuous emotional encounters and his own brand of violent justice. Ramsay’s cinema landscape is a dreamy one, and protects the...

Welcome to “Playback,” a Variety / iHeartRadio podcast bringing you exclusive conversations with the talents behind many of today’s hottest films.
Filmmaker Lynne Ramsay has made a steady career of stripped-down narratives, showcasing lean visual storytelling kissed by the influences of Ingmar Bergman, Nicolas Roeg and David Lynch. Her latest film, “You Were Never Really Here,” finds Ramsay forging ahead five years after she walked off the production of western “Jane Got a Gun” amid a dispute with the film’s producers. Based on a book by author Jonathan Ames, she was drawn to how tight the story was, and the cinematic ideas it conjured.

Updated at 11:45Am Pt with more numbers and analysis. Lynne Ramsay’s You Were Never Really Here, the first feature from the director since 2011, rocketed to a strong launch in its debut, grossing $129,911 in three theaters.
Searchlight’s Isle of Dogs added hundreds of runs for its third frame, taking in $4.6M to boost its cume to $12M. The weekend gross was enough to land it in the overall top 10 as of Sunday morning.
Released by Amazon Studios, You Were Never Really Here put up a hefty average of $43,304. The per-theater tally places it just behind the 2018 opening averages of Isle of Dogs ($60,011), Black Panther ($50,250) and The Death of Stalin ($46,201) for the year and well above the debut of her last feature, We Need To Talk About Kevin. That Tilda Swinton squirm-fest opened in a single location in 2011, grossing a healthy $24,587 en route to a $1.73M cume.

Joaquin Phoenix, who won Best Actor last year at Cannes for his performance in filmmaker’s Lynne Ramsay’s drama You Were Never Really Here, has been surprising audiences before or after every showing of the film at the Arclight Hollywood this weekend and he plans to continue to greet moviegoers tomorrow, too.
Deadline was there at the 8:15 Pm showing when the actor walked in with the film’s producer Jim Wilson and the shocked audience burst out in applause (see above).
Wilson told Deadline that at one screening they joked around wearing usher jackets and asked people to turn off their cell phones and enjoy the movie.
Besides getting the top accolade for Phoenix at Cannes, You Were Never Really Here also won Best Screenplay at the Festival for Ramsay who also directed the critically acclaimed film about a former military man with Ptsd now unafraid of violence...

Lynne Ramsay’s “You Were Never Really Here,” starring Joaquin Phoenix in the role of a former marine turned hitman, has the markings of a thriller in spite of the fact that it’s a surreal, complex, art house gem.
Speaking with TheWrap’s Beatrice Verhoeven at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, writer and director Ramsay and the novella’s author Jonathan Ames described how Phoenix’s tortured, unpredictable performance in the film elevated the source material beyond that of just a page-turner to something much grander.
“I was in a dark state of mind, so in some ways Joe was a metaphor for where I was at,” Ames said. “so I created a very damaged human being. And then I sent him on this adventure. Lynne and Joaquin took this page turner, took this tormented character, and as I said last night, made it operatic and multi-dimensional.”

“You Were Never Really Here” follows Joe, a secretive muscle for hire who tracks down missing girls. He’s tasked to rescue a teenager caught in an underage prostitution ring, but as things turn bloody and more out of hand, you find that Joe is much more in need of saving himself.
Ramsay described the short story and the film as two “very different animals,” and she praised Phoenix’s unpredictability and composure on set.
“He was so in it. He would never do the same thing twice. We would always try to push ourselves to keep thinking on the set,” Ramsay said. “He made it multi faceted, and he’s so funny, terrifying, just all these things. One of the best things about the film is you never know what to expect and what he’s going to do next.”

At this point, the winkingly irreverent shaggy-dog potboiler is as firmly established a genre as the hard-boiled stories it tries to subvert. Robert Altman kicked things off with 1973’s “The Long Goodbye,” his riff on a bewildered Philip Marlowe in the Age of Aquarius, and the Coens later took that baton and ran it up to summit of Cult Film Mountain with “The Big Lebowski,” leaving plenty of imitators trailing behind and inspiring plenty more in the two decades since.
So what’s a 2018 release to do? How can one further twist and turn the hardboiled-detective genre in a world where The Dude reigns and abides?
Scottish director Lynne Ramsay (“We Need to Talk About Kevin”) offers that question her elliptical and brutal answer in “You Were Never Really Here,” a film that presents an unfamiliar spin on this well-known style and does so with equal parts surgical precision and Mack Truck force. Still, for all of its meticulous construction and often masterful craft, the film remains something to coldly admire rather than easily embrace, often playing more as a collection of accomplished filmmaking moments than as a fully enthralling whole.
Also Read: Will Ferrell Calls Joaquin Phoenix a 'Little Bitch' and 8 Other Hilarious Interview Magazine Highlights
Adapting Jonathan Ames’ 2013 novella, that was itself a sideways riff on noir-ish detective fiction, writer-director Ramsay picks up that genre-slanting approach and moves it even further afield. Instead of subverting hard-boiled structure — where a jaded old-timer accepts a seemingly open-and-shut case, only to be ensnared in a wider web of corruption — “You Were Never Really Here” readily adopts it, but tells that recognizable tale with terse abstraction tied to the lead character’s fractured point-of-view.
That is to say, if you’re trying to make sense of the story, which is both clear-cut and oblique, you’re entirely missing the point. It doesn’t matter that hired muscle Joe (Joaquin Phoenix, in leonine bearded majesty) uncovers a wider ring of corruption and pedophilia when sent to rescue the missing daughter of a New York State Senator. What matters is that this hirsute veteran is mentally and physically scarred, that he — our unreliable narrator — suffers from a debilitating case of Ptsd forged from a childhood of abuse and a career witnessing horrors in the military and FBI.
Also Read: Would Joaquin Phoenix Play The Joker? 'It Depends,' He Says
His trauma, and self-obliterating response to said trauma, frames his every waking moment. Under Ramsay and editor Joe Bini’s tightly coiled assembly, those same pathologies also shape the film’s form, so that the narrative content of any given interaction takes a backseat to the anguished mental landscape of the protagonist experiencing it. So really, it makes no difference if Joe is in a drug den or a diner, he lives each instant with the same twinging unease — and so too will the viewer.
(The version of this film currently opening in U.S. theaters is, incidentally, slightly expanded from the one that premiered at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.)
While other film noir riffs might lob an unconventional cast of characters (as did the Coens) or employ cultural anachronisms (as did Altman) in order to shake things up, here the plot moves through the familiar film-noir motions while using film craft to effectively blur them out. Discordant flashbacks and flash-forwards, cut like synapses firing and set to Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s warping, nervous score, become the focal point of any given scene.
Also Read: 'Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot' Film Review: Joaquin Phoenix Shines in Disjointed Drama
Indeed, the film’s jangly, jagged-edge rhythm becomes its very narrative backbone. In that sense, the film is less interested in goofing on the detective genre than it is in undermining the genre itself; Joe could just as well be sleepwalking through a sweeping MGM musical or a light romantic comedy, and he’d experience the situations the same way.
Ramsay runs with that idea, often finding a number of unfamiliar notes to play in a series of otherwise common set-ups. In one standout sequence, after Joe realizes that a man he shot is not yet dead, he offers the expiring man a painkiller, and then gets alongside his victim on the ground. The two men then quietly listen to the pop music playing on the radio while one of them bleeds his life away.
Though such notes of grace make “You Were Never Really Here” stand out, they are few and far between in what is an otherwise grimly violent and willfully oblique tour through one fellow’s harrowed psyche. That the film can so quickly and so effectively establish Joe’s frenzied demons and numbed emotions is an absolute testament to the care and quality of filmmaking at hand. That the film leads you onto such stormy waters so quickly, and then lets the tempest roar without much reprieve for the next 90 minutes, means that for others, such an uncompromising and unvarying approach might offer little beyond the sum of its parts.

‘You Were Never Really Here’: How Lynne Ramsay Captured the Explosions Inside Joaquin Phoenix’s Head
During a rare unplugged moment from the hectic weeks of prepping “You Were Never Really Here,” Lynne Ramsay sat in the backyard of the Brooklyn apartment where she stayed.
“It was pitch black and I could hear all these explosions,” said Ramsay. “And I’m like, ‘What the hell is that?’ I thought I was going crazy, but it was actually the Fourth of July and I couldn’t see the fireworks.”
Ramsay recorded the sound of the fireworks and played it for Joaquin Phoenix, who was getting ready to play Joe, a Ptsd combat veteran-turned-hitman in “You Were Never Really Here.” As she played the recording, Ramsay told him, “this is what goes on in your head every day.'”

Joaquin Phoenix is smiling. "Was that an earthquake?!" he asks excitedly. At first, it's imperceptible, but he's right: He and director Lynne Ramsay are sitting in a Los Angeles office discussing their titanic thriller, You Were Never Really Here, when, suddenly, the ground begins shaking. It's just a mild temblor, but enough of a jolt that Phoenix announces, "That was pretty good!" before checking to make sure people in the next room are Ok. In comparison to her animated star, the Scottish filmmaker takes a beat to absorb what's happened...

Joaquin Phoenix is simply stupendous in You Were Never Really Here. His performance is damn near flammable—dangerous if you get too close. What a team he makes with Scottish writer-director Lynne Ramsay, whose output is small but inarguably stunning (Ratcatcher, Movern Caller, We Need to Talk About Kevin). Working from a 2013 novel by Jonathan Ames, the actor and the filmmaker craft a fiercely brilliant drama that gets under your skin and makes it crawl.

Returning from a six year hiatus after 2011’s We Need To Talk About Kevin, Scottish auteur Lynne Ramsay delivers a career best with a poetically fractured adaptation of Jonathan Ames’ novel You Were Never Really Here. Evoking a Joyce Carol Oates rhythm of a war veteran who’s been suffering from Ptsd symptoms since childhood and since morphed into a violently inclined assassin/enforcer, Ramsay streamlines B-genre narrative tropes into an efficient and emotionally potent psychological portrait which recalls the woozy style of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive (2011) remixed with Paul… Read the rest

While sci-fi epics and action-adventures have dominated theaters over the past few months, two fresh genres are looking to shake things up at the domestic box office.
Horror thriller “A Quiet Place” and R-rated comedy “Blockers” are expected to have solid openings this weekend, with the former likely to take the crown.
Paramount Pictures’ “A Quiet Place” — John Krasinski’s third directorial effort and first for a major studio — could launch to as much as $30 million from 3,200 locations, but other estimates are in the low-$20 millions. The film, which opened at South by Southwest to rave reviews, currently boasts a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
“The Office” star Krasinski co-wrote the movie and stars alongside his real-life wife, Emily Blunt. The pic follows a family of four who must live in silence while hiding from creatures that hunt by sound.
Another title hoping to translate SXSW enthusiasm into box office success is Universal’s “Blockers.

Ever since the Cannes Film Festival last year, buzz has been building for Lynne Ramsay’s follow up to We Need to Talk About Kevin. The movie in question is You Were Never Really Here, and boy is it something. Opening this week, Ramsay has crafted something truly remarkable. Very much a cinematic cousin to Drive, this is the filmmaker putting her stamp on what otherwise could be a throwaway genre outing. Whereas a studio would have shaved off the rough edges and made this a Liam Neeson vehicle (not that those don’t have their own merits), here we have something far more offbeat. It’s also easily one of the three best films of 2018 so far. The movie is like a lucid fever dream. IMDb describes it as such: “A traumatized veteran, unafraid of violence, tracks down missing girls for a living. When a job spins out of control,...

Lynne Ramsay’s fourth film is a nightmarish vision of a killer’s quest for redemption
In 2011, I named Scottish film-maker Lynne Ramsay’s third feature, a brilliant adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s novel We Need to Talk About Kevin, as my favourite film of the year. Since then, Ramsay has talked enticingly of making “Moby-Dick in space” and walked away from the female-led western Jane Got a Gun. In the process, she’s apparently earned a reputation for being “difficult”, a term first whispered during her battles to bring Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones to the screen, an ambition eventually realised by Peter Jackson, with dismal results.
Now, with her fourth film (from a novella by Jonathan Ames), Ramsay offers a riposte to anyone who ever doubted her talent or her working methods. Combining the visual poetry of Ratcatcher with the dizzying first-person fugues of Morvern Callar, You Were Never Really Here...

Lynne Ramsay’s portrait of a traumatised tough guy on a rescue mission is a dreamlike drama that wilfully defies convention
The ghost of Travis Bickle haunts this nightmarish and enigmatic psychological drama from Lynne Ramsay, starring a slab-like Joaquin Phoenix and featuring an eerie, jangling musical score by Jonny Greenwood with bone-juddering percussive thuds that sound like gunshots or someone being beaten to death. Adapted by Ramsay from a 2013 short story by the American author Jonathan Ames, the action is elliptical, elusive, fragmented. It is a movie that teeters perpetually on the verge of hallucination, with hideous images and horrible moments looming suddenly through the fog. The movement is largely inward and downward, into a swamp of suppressed abuse memories that are never entirely pieced together or understood. All the while, the sickeningly violent action continues: bodies of brutally murdered people are always being discovered in a kind of waxwork immobility.
The ghost of Travis Bickle haunts this nightmarish and enigmatic psychological drama from Lynne Ramsay, starring a slab-like Joaquin Phoenix and featuring an eerie, jangling musical score by Jonny Greenwood with bone-juddering percussive thuds that sound like gunshots or someone being beaten to death. Adapted by Ramsay from a 2013 short story by the American author Jonathan Ames, the action is elliptical, elusive, fragmented. It is a movie that teeters perpetually on the verge of hallucination, with hideous images and horrible moments looming suddenly through the fog.

Amazon Studios has debuted the first official clip from Lynne Ramsay’s “You Were Never Really Here,” and it’s a small tease for what is a truly giant Joaquin Phoenix performance. The actor took the Best Actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival last year and fans will finally be able to discover why when the film hits theaters next month.
“You Were Never Really Here” is Ramsay’s first feature since “We Need to Talk About Kevin” and is adapted from the novel of the same name by Jonathan Ames. Phoenix stars as a former war veteran suffering from Ptsd and a painkiller addiction who sets out to rescue a young girl from sex traffickers. The clip below is from a tense scene in which the girl’s father tries to recruit Phoenix’s character.
Amazon will release “You Were Never Really Here” in select theaters April 6. Watch the first clip below.

Cheers drinkslinger and Good Place Architect Ted Danson will undergo a thespian rite of passage tonight on Bravo: being grilled by James Lipton for an episode of Inside the Actors Studio.
The interview, filmed before a live audience in New York in December, covers Danson’s 40-year career in television and movies. TVLine was on hand for the taping, which ran more than two hours (!) and was later edited to fit Studio‘s one-hour runtime.
