Cluny Brown
Blu ray
Criterion
1946/ 1.33:1 / 100 min.
Starring Charles Boyer, Jennifer Jones
Cinematography by Joseph Lashelle
Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
The last film completed by Ernst Lubitsch before his sudden death in 1947, Cluny Brown is the life-embracing work of a determined romantic – unintimidated by poor health let alone the World War that raged during the movie’s production.
The story of an unvarnished beauty who finds happiness in a leaky faucet, Jennifer Jones plays Cluny, the low-brow but high-spirited plumber’s apprentice and Charles Boyer is her romantically inclined guardian angel, Adam Belinski.
Belinski is a penniless refugee who drops by a posh party in search of cash and is mistaken for the maintenance man – just as Cluny arrives to unclog the pipes and save the day. She celebrates with one too many beverages (“My first sink and my first cocktail… I feel… ‘chirrupy’”) and is banished by her class-conscious...

Can lovely, innocent Blind Date really exist in the same tawdry world as Take Me Out?
Blind Date is coming back this weekend. So much has changed since the 1980s, both on TV and in society itself, that what returns to our screens may not be a straight-forward, fully-intact teleport of the format, but rather a mutant mish-mash: a half-fly Jeff Goldblum of a show just begging to be put out of its misery. The truth of this inevitable transformation can be seen in the steps already taken up the light-entertainment evolutionary ladder, most notably in the DNA of ITV's long-running post-Blind Date offering, Take Me Out.

Heide Hatry: Icons In Ash Ubu Gallery, NYC Through March 7th, 2017
Heide Hatry's show at Ubu Gallery is a series of portraits made from cremated ashes based on photographs of the deceased selected by family members or loved ones who have provided her with their ash remains. These are objects made in the spirit of the Consolatio, the ancient tradition of honoring the dead and consoling the mourners.
The resulting portraits presented in deep shadow-box frames, have a surface both softer and more active than the photo. Granular, like rough cut granite. But these portraits are not "painted", the very tedious, time consuming process uses tiny "dust" particles on wax to create a "mosaic." The solid characteristics of the 'thing' contrasting with the fleeting glimpse of the photo.
She has also released a book publication, Icons in Ash, (which accompanies the show) in which twenty-seven contributing authors, including Siri Hustvedt,...

Johan Heldenbergh as Didier with Veerle Baetens as Elise in The Broken Circle Breakdown
Paper Magazine with Sarah Sophie Flicker, Arden Wohl, Dustin Yellin, Alexander Gilkes, and Misha Nonoo hosted an advance screening earlier this week at the Tribeca Film Center for Felix Van Groeningen's The Broken Circle Breakdown, Belgium's submission for the 2014 Best Foreign Language Film Academy Awards.
I met with Felix Van Groeningen at the Tribeca Grill Loft after party to discuss the evolution from stage play by Kris Kristofferson look-alike Johan Heldenbergh to film and how Anton Corbijn's Control on Joy Division and James Mangold's Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line with Joaquin Phoenix were inspiration but not influence.

Wim Wenders’ long imagined a Pina Bausch documentary with Bausch herself, a dear friend of the director, personally collaborating on the project. It was originally conceived as a way to solidify the legendary modern dance choreographer’s most iconic pieces in visual stasis, but Wenders believed the traditional film form was not capable of capturing or communicating the visual information found within the ethereal movements of dance – that was until the latest technical advancements in three dimensional proved to be a worthy conduit between mediums. With all the conceived necessities finally in place, profound tragedy struck with Pina’s sudden passing just days before the film was scheduled to shoot. Two years later, with heavy hearts and performers’ wills, Wenders and Pina’s devoted Tanztheater Wuppertal dance company moved forward with the production of Pina. The resulting cinematic memorial is a visually luscious physical eulogy of consummate catharsis that lives on stage,...

Chicago – “Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.” Wim Wenders’ “Pina” is mesmerizing. It’s really the best word for it. Mesmerizing. It is the blend of two master craftsman — a director with an eye for composition like the man who made “Wings of Desire” & “Paris, Texas” and a choreographer who knows how to fill that composition with fascinating works of art in the form of dance. Some of the more modern inclusions in The Criterion Collection in recent years have been questionable. Not this one.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
Wim Wenders’ friend Pina Bausch, a spectacularly talented interpretative dance choreographer, died during the filming of “Pina.” Wenders worked with her dancers to finish the film after first considering shelving it altogether. It is, consequently, a stunning eulogy, a work that affirms her creative life as much as it mourns the loss of a true talent. And it is visually captivating. Many of the...

The imagination and physical marvels of the work of the late German modern-dance pioneer Pina Bausch are celebrated in the 2011 performance documentary movie Pina, directed by Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire).
A long-planned film collaboration between the director and the choreographer was in pre-production when Bausch died in 2009. Two years later, Wenders decided to go ahead with the project, re-conceiving it as an homage to his late friend. The result, shot in stunning 3D, is a remarkable visual experience and a vivid representation of Bausch’s art, enacted by a group of talented dancers from her company, the Tanztheater Wuppertal. The adventurous film highlights the bold legacy of one of the world’s most renowned and visionary choreographers.
