Zimna wojna 2018
True love can never be corrupted. It can be tested, but when it is, it only gets stronger. Pawel Pawlikowski's new film, Cold War, is about that kind of love -- pure, indestructible, eternal.

It's an epic love story, which starts in 1949 and lasts for the best part of 20 years, a time of extreme change in European history, yet the biggest obstacles faced by the couple at the centre of the story are themselves and their own decisions.

Set over a period of fifteen years, Cold War tells the tale of a complicated love story between Wiktor (Tomasz Kot), a musical composer and organiser of a traditional Polish folk troupe, and Zula (Joanna Kulig), a younger, charismatic woman who auditions for him. Spanning from their first meeting in 1949 to the climax of their romance in the mid 1960s, the film takes its audience on a whirlwind tour of communist era Europe, displaying both the strictly guarded East and the freer, bohemian West, sizzling with the tension that the balance between the two worlds evoked during this time.

Director: Pawel Pawlikowski
Cast: Joanna Kulig, Tomasz Kot, Borys Szyc

Mae West – The Glamour Collection: Night After Night (1932), I’m No Angel (1933), Goin’ to Town (1935), Go West Young Man (1936), My Little Chickadee (1940) 3 x DVD

Mae West - The Glamour Collection
The sound movies were made for Mae West, a performer credited with pulling Paramount Pictures out of almost a hundred million dollars of debt in 1933.

She was a performer and playwright famous for notorious Broadway plays like Sex, for which she served ten days in jail, and The Drag, a play about homosexuality that was allowed in New Jersey but not New York. Audiences loved West and West loved audiences, even through the movie screen. Her characters broke all the rules for conventional female behavior by being sexually aggressive and verbally suggestive; it's obvious that West and/or the women she played loved sex and wasn't ashamed of it. Women were as delighted as men because Mae was in charge. In contrast to the typical siren or vamp, she used not her body but her brains, outsmarting men rather than bewitching them.

Miss West made nine classic-era pictures at Paramount and Universal, and Uni's Glamour Collection corrals five of them, including her first supporting role and her final effort, a pairing with W. C. Fields.

True Stories (1986) 2 x DVD9, Blu-Ray, CD Criterion Collection

by movieworld on March 14th, 2019 at 16:31
Posted In: .Other movies, Comedy, Musical

True Stories 1986
David Byrne's True Stories (1986) is unequal parts travelogue, musical, comedy, and satire that pays tribute to the fictional town of Virgil, Texas and its upcoming 150th anniversary. Along the way, our unnamed guide (Byrne) meets a variety of Virgil's more colorful characters -- some of which are directly tied to the celebration -- including a country singer looking for love (John Goodman), the world's laziest woman (Swoosie Kurtz), a compulsive liar (Jo Harvey Allen), a Tejano singer with unique hearing abilities (Tito Larriva), a civic leader whose family conversations play out like the telephone game (Spalding Gray), and others. Their perspectives, interactions, and performances give the film a patchwork quality knit together by theatrical monologues and musical performances, many of which were written by Byrne for the Talking Heads studio album of the same name.

True Stories is one of the quirkiest and most original movies of the 1980s. That is not altogether surprising, since the Talking Heads were perhaps the most authentic and original rock band since Velvet Underground. Their concert film Stop Making Sense (1984, dir. Jonathan Demme) is justifiably considered to be the most perfectly filmed musical performance to date. That film, like the Talking Heads themselves, was birthed from the New York New Wave underground scene, with true-blue eccentric David Byrne as the front man, driving force, and genius of the group.

Clouzot The Early Works
Henri-Georges Clouzot (The Wages of Fear, Diabolique) is considered one of the masters of French cinema. The filmmaker has a master's eye for visual storytelling. His most cherished works clearly demonstrate Clouzot's artistic brushstrokes as a director are uniquely his own. With several classic films made during his legacy as a director he is an artist who has undeniably made a mark in the pantheon of filmmaking history.

Clouzot: The Early Works is an interesting compilation of some of the filmmaker's earliest forays into filmmaking. This set showcases his beginnings as a filmmaker when he worked as a screenwriter for dialogue adaptations and as an assistant director. It also includes his directorial debut, The Terror of Batignolles (1931), a short film that only hints at what was to come from Clouzot.

As with other master filmmakers who started their prolific careers during the early era of studio filmmaking (such as the brilliant Alfred Hitchcock), Clouzot's earliest filmmaking demonstrate his finesse for the art and craft while only giving a glimpse of his later brilliance. Before making classics like The Wages of Fear he had to learn the ropes of filmmaking. This set showcases his growth from a novice to a skilled filmmaking who would one day become an auteur.

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) 2 x DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Inside Llewyn Davis 2013
With Inside Llewyn Davis, Joel and Ethan Coen return to the world of humanistic dark comedy they are so good at, as evidenced by their films Fargo and Barton Fink. Focusing in on the early ’60s folk music scene in New York City’s Greenwich Village, they duo give us a fascinating, if clearly downbeat, story of a struggling folk singer negotiating his way through the burgeoning scene while simultaneously isolating himself from all of his friends along the way.

The irascible Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) has been struggling to make it in the folk music scene as a solo act ever since his partner committed suicide, but he hasn’t found much success. Living from paying gig to paying gig, sleeping on one friend’s couch to the next, and dealing with the fact that he’s gotten his friend Jim’s (Justin Timberlake) girlfriend Jean (Carey Mulligan) pregnant he finds himself increasingly isolated from his friends due to his attitude. Llewyn decides he is better off leaving town for Chicago to try to audition for a big time producer after he does a studio session for a song he feels is beneath his talents. The road trip to Chicago will be an eyeopener, bringing Llewyn face to face with the reality that, perhaps his lack of success has less to do with everyone else, and more to do with himself.

Vitaphone Varieties (1926-1930) 4 x DVD

Posted In: .Other movies, Comedy, Musical

Vitaphone Varieties
Recovered and restored: fascinating early-sound shorts from a bygone entertainment era. Venerable vaudevillians. Musical marvels. Crazy comics. Formidable character actors.

Great performers and ensembles from the Warner Bros. vault comprise a dazzling 9+-Hour, 4-Disc Collection of 60 Theatrical Shorts (1926-1930).

Twenty years ago, this set would not only not have existed, it would have been an unattainable dream. Because Vitaphone was a process where the sound was not on the film but on a large disc, in many cases either the film existed and sound was missing or vice versa. Then The Vitaphone Project came along, whose purpose was to unite as many discs and films as possible, and then to preserve them. The men who started it didn't expect much success; now these many years later, thousands of discs have been discovered in private collections and archives, with major finds happening every few months. These shorts are all recent restorations, and they are an invaluable record of Broadway and Vaudeville in the late twenties. UCLA and the Library of Congress have done a fantastic job saving these films.

Vitaphone Varieties is an endlessly entertaining blast from the past.

Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colors Trilogy: Trois couleurs: Bleu / Three Colors: Blue (1993), Trois couleurs: Blanc / Three Colors: White (1994), Trois couleurs: Rouge / Three Colors: Red (1994) 4 x DVD9 and 3 x Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Three Colors Trilogy Criterion CollectionThe three colors are blue, white and red. They are the colors of the French flag, of course, and they are appropriated by director Krzysztof Kieslowski along with the themes of the motto they more or less represent: liberty, equality, fraternity. But the films Three Colors: Blue (1993), Three Colors: White (1993), and Three Colors: Red (1994) are not hymns to patriotism or national identity and the Polish Kieslowski hasn’t any predisposition to making a statement at France. It’s better to think of this trilogy in similar terms as his The Decalogue, ten short films in which he reflects upon the Ten Commandments in terms more suggestive than literal. They are about morality in terms of life in Poland in 1989 and it is that vast collage of life experience in that time and place that is so powerful.

After he completed "Red" (1994), the final film in his "Three Colors" trilogy, Krzysztof Kieslowski announced that he would retire. This was not a man weary of work. It was the retirement of a magician, a Prospero who was now content to lay aside his art--"to read and smoke." When he died two years later, he was only 56.

That’s Entertainment! (1974), That’s Entertainment, Part II (1976), That’s Entertainment! III (1994) 6 x DVD9 Widescreen theatrical version and Fullscreen version, 3 x Blu-Ray The Complete Collection

That's Entertainment Collection
To celebrate MGM's 50th anniversary in 1974, producer Jack Haley, Jr. (the son of Jack Haley, who played the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz) came up with the idea of cutting together highlights from the great MGM musicals into a compilation film, which would be broadcast on television. Haley and executive producer Daniel Melnick spent months digging through the vast MGM film vaults for clippings from such classics as Singin' in the Rain, An American in Paris, and Meet Me in St. Louis, as well as less familiar gems. MGM executives liked the compilation so much that they decided to expand it into a feature film. Haley brought Gene Kelly on board as a host, and Kelly in turn was able to entice stars like Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra to introduce and provide narration for the clips.

The final result, That's Entertainment!, was a smash hit, adored by critics and a generation of moviegoers whose only access to the great musicals of the past was the occasional art-house revival or mangled television broadcast. That's Entertainment! not only popularized the retrospective compilation genre but tapped into a nostalgia for Old Hollywood that has been a pop culture staple ever since. The film spawned three sequels — That's Entertainment, Part II in 1976, That's Dancing! in 1985, and That's Entertainment III in 1994.
