This movie could have been titled The Maids but then people might have confused it with Jean Genet's searing portrayal of interchangeable identities, illusion and ritualistic role play in which two maids take turns acting as "Madame," abusing each other as either employer or the help. The role play reveals no...

You can be excused if you believe that new starlet Jessica Chastain is in every movie opening this season. The busy actress can currently be seen on the big screen in three major summer movies, including Terrence Malick’s THE TREE OF LIFE, the best seller adaptation THE HELP and the espionage actioner THE DEBT. At the recent Venice Film Festival, she regally walked the red carpet along with co-star and director Al Pacino for WILDE SALOME, his meta-textual adaptation of the Oscar Wilde ...

The bookends of the Bible, Genesis and Revelation, tell us about the Tree of Life. In the garden of Eden,there was only one such tree; the Book of Revelation assures us there will be many such in the Holy City. For the writer(s) of Proverbs the Tree symbolised four wonderful truths: Wisdom, ri...
I had the privilege to work with Roland Emmerich on the release of ID4 (when I was running UGC Fox distribution in France) I am glad to share the news: he will headline Concordia University's Shakespeare Authorship Research Centre's Fall Conference Sept. 6-9 in Portland, Ore. Emmerich's new film, Anonymous, speculates on a centuries-old question – did William Shakespeare really write the works attributed to him? – and offers one possible answer.
At the conference, Emmerich will ...

winning directors and stars of the evening.

CANNES
, France
The dirty world of French politics was dragged up the Cannes red carpet Wednesday with the premiere of "The Conquest," the much-anticipated tale of Nicolas Sarkozy's rise to power.
The press packed out the main theatre at Cannes to view the film, showing out of competition, after months of speculation about what would be revealed in "the story of a man wh...
Brad Pitt stars in Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life. Courtesy of Fox Searchlight.
I attended an 11:00 a.m. screening of “The Tree Of Life”
today. With the enormous amounts of media attention the film has been getting,
I figured it best to show up early. By the time I arrived at 9:00 a.m. a
massive line had already begun to form. I overheard the man at the front of the
line say he had been there since 7:00 A.M. Clearly anticipation was high. When
the lights went down for the st...
Kierkegaard vs. Nietzsche, the Big Bang vs. the Book of Genesis, in The Tree of Life, Terrence Malick tackles the age old questions of “What is the meaning of life?” and “Is there life after death?”, and portrays them in an operatic, naturesque, supernova artform, while transcending philosophy, religion, nature, innocence, success, violence, and sterility on to the big screen. The film starts off with a verse from The Book of Job 58: 4, 7, “Where were you when I laid the ...
