Mysteries of Lisbon Filmmaker Raúl Ruiz Passes Away at 70

With his latest film, the well-received four and a half-hour opus The Mysteries of Lisbon, still in theaters stateside, Chilean filmmaker Ral Ruiz has passed away in Paris following a lung infection. The director, who had made over 100 films in his nearly five-decade career, was 70. The Chilean-born filmmaker began making films in the 1960s and moved to France after Pinochet assumed power in 1973. His films earned him numerous European awards; four of them (That Day, Marcel Proust’s Time Regained, Three Lives and Only One Death, and L’oeil qui ment) were nominated for the Cannes Palme d’Or. Of his most recent film, the epic period drama The Mysteries of Lisbon, Movieline’s Stephanie Zacharek wrote: With The Mysteries of Lisbon Ruiz has pulled off a work that’s both grand and intimate, as if he’d seized on the seemingly paradoxical idea of building a mansion-sized dollhouse and made it work. Ruiz was born in Chile but has lived in Paris since the 1970s. He’s made more than 100 movies in the course of his career, though not many of them would be familiar to American moviegoers. (The exception might be his 1999 adaptation of Proust’s Time Regained, starring John Malkovich and Catherine Deneuve.) Here, Ruiz and cinematographer Andr Szankowski work in the fairly straight tradition of the period drama, but they never corset it too tightly. The picture breathes as it moves, even though the pace here is definitely stately. Ruiz appears to have had lots of fun with the movie’s little visual touches: The reflection of illicit lovers is captured in a tiny mirror image; the face of a storyteller spinning out a tale of woe looks back at him, and us, from the surface of a cup of tea. Ruiz has treated the world of culture, with a capital C, as if it were a Sears-Roebuck catalog of great ideas waiting to borrowed: He takes a few pages from Vermeer’s soft-glow chamber lighting and Corbet’s way around a misty landscape. Read the full review here. The Mysteries of Lisbon, meanwhile, is still in limited release; see a listing of play dates here. [Le Monde, El Mostrador]

Exclusive: Tim Sullivan talks Chillerama

Last week TF told you how Tim Sullivan had delivered a finished cut of Chillerama to the studio and since then he took the time to chat to us exclusively about his horror anthology film.Sullivan told TF how the original idea transformed over the 12-year period from pitching to production, as well revealing how he put 'the band' together to create the four segments of the film."Chillerama was conceived by myself and Adam Rifkin in 1998 when we were working on Detroit Rock City, which he directed and I co-produced. We bonded at the time over our mutual love for drive-in movies, Kiss, Mad Magazine and so on," Sullivan reveals."At the time, we approached the then editors of Famous Monsters magazine about doing an anthology film called Famous Monsters that would take place at a drive-in and feature four segments that would be mini-movies - almost like condensed or edited versions of full length films like the Super 8 digest versions we used to collect as kids.""When using famous monsters didn't work out, we felt the idea was too good to waste, and so we came up with the name Chillerama. But like a lot of things, life gets in the way, and so we sat on the idea for years going off to do other projects."Along the way, we became friends with Adam Green and Joe Lynch, our paths always crossing at various genre events. One day we were telling Green and Lynch about Chillerama, and a giant light bulb just went on and me and Rif knew we had finally found the perfect partners for the 'band', so to speak."And now, here we are in 2011- the four of us just dropped this bad boy off at Image, our distributor. Feels like the longest pregnancy in history. I need a Drink!"Chillerama gets its European premiere at FrightFest 2011, which is partnered by Total Film and takes place at the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square between 25-29 August. Tickets can be booked by calling 08714 714 714 or by visiting www.empirecinemas.co.uk.Adam Green and Joe Lynch will also be in conversation with Larry Fessenden and a host of other US horror directors at a special panel hosted by Total Film on 26 August.

Megan Fox Competes With Baby Excrement in New Friends With Kids Image

In late July, we previewed a slew of images from films that will be screening at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. Among the titles that looked most promising was Friends With Kids, Jennifer Westfeldt’s indie drama which stars her real-life boyfriend Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott and Westfeldt herself as a group of best friends in their 30’s whose dynamic changes after two of them decide to have a baby…and then date other people. Like Megan Fox’s character, who is featured in her first Friends artwork after the jump. Fox plays a woman who Adam Scott’s character starts seeing after he has a baby with a longtime friend (Westfeldt) — and judging by this artwork, she becomes quickly frustrated with her new beau’s hectic lifestyle. (Nothing says “hectic” like a man mid-disastrous diaper change. See: The Change-Up.) The Mike Nichols and Jake Kasdan executive-produced Friends With Kids will premiere during the Toronto Film Festival, which begins September 8. Westfeldt previously wrote and starred in Kissing Jessica Stein and Ira & Abby. Friends With Kids will mark her directorial debut. · Friends With Kids [Toronto International Film Festival]
