Film news - Annette will open the Cannes 74th International Film Festival. Find out more at UK Film Review. Annette will open the Cannes 74th International Film Festival Chris Olson Monday, April 19, 2021 at 10:25:23 AM UTC Annette & Leos Carax Marion Cotillard & Adam Driver will open the 74th Festival de Cannes! Nine years after the remarkable Holy Motors , presented in Competition, Leos Carax will unveil in Cannes his new feature, a film eagerly awaited by cinephiles around the world. ANNETTE , Carax’s first film in English, will open the Cannes 74th International Film Festival on Tuesday, July 6th. Set in contemporary Los Angeles, Annette tells the story of Henry, a stand-up comedian with a fierce sense of humor and Ann, a singer of international renown. In the spotlight, they are the perfect couple, healthy, happy, and glamourous. The birth of their first child, Annette, a mysterious girl with an exceptional destiny, will change their lives. Produced by Charles Gillibert, Annette , the director's sixth feature film, based on Carax’s original idea, featuring a soundtrack composed by Sparks and starring Marion Cotillard, Adam Driver and Simon Helberg, will premiere internationally and will enter the Competition, following the opening ceremony at the Grand Théâtre Lumière in Cannes’ Palais des festivals. It will simultaneously be released in French cinemas. Visionary and enigmatic, Leos Carax has authored some of the most beautiful moments of French cinema in the last 35 years, with a filmography that has never ceased to display his mastery of directing. A poetic genius with an overflowing imagination, "l’enfant terrible" of French cinema has consistently transcended filmic codes and genres to create a world full of visions and ghosts. At the mere age of 24, Carax began a trilogy from which urban and nocturnal beauty emanated in a magical Paris. Shot in black-and-white, Boy Meets Girl (1984) paid tribute to silent films, to Cocteau’s universe and Godard's cinema. With Bad Blood (1986), an ode to rhythm and love, starring Denis Lavant, Juliette Binoche and Michel Piccoli, Carax establishes his hard-hitting emotional style and with it, finds his first international success. Dominated by an assertive aesthetic universe and lyricism, this expressionist thriller offers a one-of-a-kind visual experience. In 1991, the director embarked on a most ambitious project, The Lovers on the Bridge . Recreating an entire Parisian neighborhood and a 3-year-long shooting offered to this ode to passionate love a legendary place in French cinema. After 8 years of silence, Pola X (1999) marked Carax's return to the Festival de Cannes’ Competition. Following this adaptation of Melville's “Pierre, or, The Ambiguities” he returned to the Croisette with Merde , a short film part of a collective fantasy in three movements, Tokyo! , co-directed by Michel Gondry and Bong Joon-ho and presented at Un Certain Regard in 2008. Finally, in 2012, Leos Carax returned in Competition in Cannes with Holy Motors , a meandering filmic experience that puts magic in reality and everyday life in fantasy. Another declaration of love for cinema, with Edith Scob, escaped from Georges Franju’s Eyes Without a Face. "Every Leos Carax film is an event. And this one delivers on its promises! Annette is the gift that lovers of cinema, music and culture were hoping for, one that we have been yearning for during the past year," says Pierre Lescure, President of the Festival de Cannes. "We couldn’t have dreamed of a more beautiful reunion with cinema and the silver screen, in the Palais des festivals where films come to assert their splendor", concludes Thierry Frémaux, General Delegate. "Carax' cinema is an expression of these powerful gestures, these mysterious alchemies that makes the secret of cinema’s modernity and eternity."

Ghosts of Alderney: Hitler's Island Slaves Ghosts of Alderney follows the research of internationally renowned artist Piers Secunda, who recently spent five years recording stories of slave labourers sent to Alderney. When Hitler’s forces invaded the small Channel island in 1941, nobody knew just how brutal the occupation of this piece of UK Crown land would become. Secunda has worked for years to commemorate the slaves who endured random and unprovoked shootings, beatings and starvation. People from all over Nazi Europe were shipped to the Channel Islands to build Hitler's “fortress” against an Allied attack. It was in Alderney however, where the treatment was harshest. Intelligence reports after the liberation reveal that bodies dumped in mass graves were compared to victims of the Belsen concentration camp. On this, the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, Ghosts of Alderney serves as a testament to the bravery of these people. Through the work of the filmmakers and the research team, new evidence has come to light in this documentary, which uncovers further atrocities committed on the Nazi occupied island. These crimes include firing squads, mass graves, indiscriminate executions, and more shockingly, competitions from the officers rewarding even further brutality. Ghosts of Alderney also promises to expose how, following the Second World War, the UK government concealed the real reasons why it failed to prosecute any German officers for war crimes. “Of course there was a cover up,” said Professor Anthony Glees, a security and intelligence expert, who explores the reasons why the perpetrators of Alderney seemingly escaped justice. Madeleine Bunting, historian and author, adds: “This was the biggest mass murder on British soil. Yet so many questions remain.” A recent UK Government inquiry found that more than 1,100 people died on Alderney but acknowledged there are many more missing. Ghosts of Alderney seeks to go beyond the numbers, to bring the names and faces of those who suffered back to life. Piers Secunda adds; “The academic research deals with lists of names and adding up numbers to create a total figure of number of people who came to Alderney. But people aren't numbers. They're human beings. They have lives, they have histories, backgrounds. " Ghosts of Alderney: Hitler's Island Slaves will be released in the UK later this year The Moment The Land of Sometimes Twins Alfie and Elise find a magical Wish Watch on Christmas Eve and are swept by the Wish Collector into the musical Land of Sometimes, where they learn that wishes have consequences.

The new documentary, John Candy: I Like Me, directed by Colin Hanks and produced by Ryan Reynolds, offers a poignant and intimate look at the man behind the memorable characters. Eschewing the typical celebratory retrospective, the film embarks on a journey to humanise an icon, exploring his personal struggles, deep-seated anxieties, and the profound impact he had on those who knew him best. . Brand new film trailers. John Candy: I Like Me A beloved comedic actor whose larger-than-life presence defined a generation of films, John Candy’s legacy extends far beyond the laughs he provided. The new documentary, John Candy: I Like Me , directed by Colin Hanks and produced by Ryan Reynolds, offers a poignant and intimate look at the man behind the memorable characters. Eschewing the typical celebratory retrospective, the film embarks on a journey to humanise an icon, exploring his personal struggles, deep-seated anxieties, and the profound impact he had on those who knew him best. By weaving together archival footage, candid interviews, and private home videos, the documentary crafts a sensitive and moving portrait of a man whose heart was even bigger than his public persona. The documentary's structure is built on a foundation of genuine admiration and respect, featuring heartfelt testimonials from a star-studded cast of collaborators and friends, including Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Catherine O’Hara, and Tom Hanks. Their shared anecdotes paint a picture of a man universally adored for his kindness and generosity. The film avoids a strict chronological narrative, instead organising its segments thematically to explore key facets of Candy's life. It revisits his roots in Toronto’s legendary Second City improv scene, showcasing his mastery of improvisation and a comedic genius that was both effortless and masterfully controlled. Archival clips from his work on SCTV serve as a powerful reminder of his versatility, proving that his comedic brilliance was a force long before he became a Hollywood star. However, the documentary's true strength lies in its willingness to delve into the more complex, melancholy aspects of Candy’s life. It unflinchingly addresses his lifelong battle with weight and the hurtful, fatphobic questions he faced from journalists. The film uses these moments to reveal the pain and insecurity that often simmered beneath his jolly exterior. It also traces his struggles to the trauma of losing his father at a young age, suggesting a deep-seated fear of an early death that haunted him throughout his career. This emotional honesty is what elevates the film from a simple tribute to a meaningful and insightful biography. The title itself, a direct quote from his iconic character Del Griffith in Planes, Trains and Automobiles , serves as a powerful leitmotif, challenging the audience to reconsider the meaning of self-acceptance in the face of immense pressure and personal demons. By focusing on the man rather than just the entertainer, John Candy: I Like Me achieves a rare feat for a celebrity documentary. It doesn't just celebrate his cinematic triumphs but also honours his vulnerability, kindness, and complex humanity. The film is a loving testament to a man who, despite his inner turmoil, dedicated his life to making the world a happier place. His legacy, as the documentary so beautifully illustrates, is not just one of laughter but of a heart of gold that touched everyone it encountered and continues to do so three decades after his passing.
