Gad Elmaleh (fan of Nanni Moretti and Woody Allen films) on the set of Stay With Us (Reste Un Peu) with his parents
Stand-up comedian Gad Elmaleh, the director and star of Stay With Us (co-written with Benjamin Charbit) plays a version of himself who explores a lifelong fascination with the Virgin Mary. After living in America, Gad returns to Paris, where he is welcomed by his parents, played by the actor’s actual mother and father, Régine and David, his sister Judith and old friends, which include the actor Roschdy Zem (star of Arnaud Desplechin’s Oh Mercy! with Léa Seydoux and Sara Forestier). Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, Simone Veil, and Henri Bergson get a shoutout as Gad reflects on some wide-ranging questions on faith as he meets with a priest (Father Barthélémy played by Nicolas Port), a rabbi (Pierre-Henry Salfati), a nun (Catherine Thiercelin), a theologian (Frédéric Lenoir), and...

The Devil Wears…Dior!
Meryl Streep arrived to the 2020 Golden Globe Awards (in which she’s nominated for her record-breaking 34th time!) in a couture confection fit for a legend.
The 70-year-old actress opted for a Dior Haute Couture metallic dark forest green lamé gown that her stylist Micaela Erlanger calls as “elegant and timeless as she is.”
Erlanger adds: “I love the fabric and the soft pleating of the dress, it moves so beautifully. The material is a dark forest green but depending on the light it changes and can also look golden or gunmetal! We love how special it is.

Raúl Ruiz frequently remarked that he was the perfect person to adapt Marcel Proust’s vast set of novels Remembrance of Things Past (or, more literally, In Search of Lost Time) to the screen because, having reached the end of reading the entire work, he instantly forgot it all. He was joking, of course, but his jest disguised a serious method. The only way to convey Proust on screen, in Ruiz’s opinion, was to approach it not as a literal condensation of multiple characters and events, but as a psychic swirl of half-remembered, half-forgotten fragments and impressions—full of uncanny superimpositions and metamorphoses. “‘The best way to adapt something for film,” he summed up, “is to dream it.” Ruiz’s dreaming was always accompanied by extensive, meandering, seemingly eccentric research. In the case of Time Regained, he plunged (as he revealed in a splendid, lengthy interview with Jacinto Lageira...

A still from Yasujiro Ozu’s “Late Spring”
In the second part of the essay on film design, Devdutt Trivedi explains why he thinks the process of making a film is interesting than the film itself
Read Understanding Film Design
Following the publication of the first essay on this topic, I have received a number of responses to the apparent flaws in my thinking. In this essay, I hope to defend and take forward the cause of design in film.
The central question of the problematic raised by the previous essay was that why out of all film-makers had I picked two rather obscure ones: Yasujiro Ozu and Robert Bresson. It seems to me that before these two film-makers arrive, cinema was functioning within the limits of a causal logic. This causal logic was that of the sensory-motor neurons which connect movement with the passage of time. What appears to...

The Swiss duo's witty, irreverent work has influenced both contemporary art and car ads. Following the death of David Weiss, Jeremy Millar pays tribute to a unique partnership
It is a small black book and, among the dark pages, hand-written in white, are questions. Like nocturnal doubts, they don't seem to expect an answer, and are offered up to the void more in hope than expectation – and that hope soon dissolves. The book is called Will Happiness Find Me? and is the work of Peter Fischli and David Weiss, two Swiss artists who, over the past 30 years, have made some of the most important, most unexpected and funniest art of our time. Weiss died of cancer in April at the age of 66. "Am I doomed to wander through the vale of tears as a clown?" the book asks. "Is my being filled with serenity?"
While the book might be considered...

Seeking the Monkey King, which premiered last month at the New York Film Festival's Views from the Avant-Garde program, plays this Sunday for free at 5:00pm in Zuccotti Park in New York, and Ken Jacobs is currently looking to screen it in conjunction with Occupy protests worldwide—please feel free to leave a tip in the comments below. J.G. Thirlwell’s Manorexia will be performing excerpts from the soundtrack and other Manorexia albums at Bam on November 18th.
The stereoscopic, Byzantine gold foil that’s the ostensible subject/object of Seeking the Monkey King seems to shift interpretively at each of Jacobs’ mock-3D jigglings between negative and positive, left and right: is it just foil, a digital animation, a crumbling Babel, or a descent into Peter Jackson/James Cameron/Jerry Goldsmith hell? Like almost all of Jacobs’ recent movies, Monkey King prompts a kind of triple consciousness in...

Why are we always driven by the elusive goal of living forever? A new book argues that we should give up on perfectability and embrace our mortality. Malcolm Jones talks to philosopher John Gray.
The English political philosopher John Gray has a quarrel with progress. It's not that he doesn't believe in it. Indeed, he cheerfully admits that science and technology have, in many ways, improved our lot. "Remember what DeQuincey said in the 1820s in his Confessions of an English Opium Eater: a quarter of all human suffering is toothache. It would've been true then. Now we don't suffer that," Gray says, by phone from his home in Bath. "Progress in dental science is real. And it's only one example of a respect in which the growth of knowledge is absolutely real."
