Cannes Variety host Kering Women in Motion Award for Taraji P. Henson and with Dr. Stacey L. Smith. Original stories include mental health focusing on colour, in Purple and Straw. Taraji offers an over the shoulder look, and comments “it was two women that saw her, they follow me! I love people”!
Taraji stuns audience, modestly, as she is introduced as having the largest fan base and highlighting an international range of colour.

The Phoenician Scheme.
Trans mountain, inland waterway, hydro electric power stripping away the emotional map on pages. The best costumes, like God discovering shaping water and sculpting. Wes Anderson and Zsa-Zsa Korda, the kid inside a bath tub for 7 hours on set. Step inside, steal the props, here’s where two ideas meet imagination in very dark capitalist contradictions appear layers of Grey, Black and White tones.

“Emotion is the new punk. Pinocchio lyrical”.
Inside the film camera is floorless. Shape of Water. Surprise. Find character, this came from Jazz. The 1st part is the camera. Let it breath. Film like a composer. Horizontal”.

Charlotte Gainsbourg
Inspired by Brigitte Bardot, Lars Von Trier and her own documentary, My Mother.
A few steps, I can have a Vision, any character. My secret rhythms, different pace, slow movement. A red shoe meaning ballet, I’m strong, Lemon incest and Shy.

After the screening of Frère et Soeur, feature film in competition at The 75th edition of Cannes Film Festival 2022 (Why Not Productions and Arte France Cinema FR), there was a 5 minute standing ovation. It would appear that Chekhov's own words "There is nothing new in art except talent" resound for this event!
Frère et Soeur, a story of an actress and a teacher poet who no longer speak to each other, the film is perceived as a caricature of french cinema,...

Teapots and Modern Dance, at Venice
Director Damian Chazelle is hitting the double chord joyously as Emma Stone wins best actress, with modern dance we’re going into a dream in the real world, playing out the rhythms of a speech pattern, nursing fantasies in La La Land until lights out… the music casts a thin veil, a dream space as trumpeter Lee Morgan, plays blue notes on his life in Kasper Collins’s documentary, I Called Him Morgan.

A pleasure to see a film brought to a new place, at the Italian island of Pantelleria with 4 people living out a holiday in a house share, and a wondrous marriage of Italian and british humour.

"The evil and I are old friends.
The people and the part he posed claims a tremendous responsibility for the truth to the person, Jimmy Bulger, and in painting a character you don't like.
Just shooting from the hip.
Bad people do bad things well, it's a quest.
Depp's heroes? John Barrymore and Marlon Brando.
He plays a character, not a poster boy, there's a danger transformation
To look like Jimmy Bulger? The blue eye contacts."

Krigen, a film by Tobias Lindholm, a conversation from a danish perspective, a story full of impossible choices and no ending, concerned with the truth and our addiction to war. The filmmakers got scared, were not amused by the imagination of war as they were not trained in a life experience of war, and so called the danish soldiers to set. The real experts, professionals with three points of view, who have no choice in war, were used for perfection of gun control, like a therapy of confrontat...
