The list of men Diane Keaton has kissed on screen reads like an Academy Awards publicist’s clipboard — on a good year. Still, the actress has her eye on one young whippersnapper who has thus far eluded her lips: Ryan Gosling.
In an interview on Canada’s The Marilyn Denis Show, Keaton joked, “Here’s the deal with me: I’ve kissed a lot of men on film,” then rattled off a crazy-impressive slew of names. “I really feel I deserve an award.” And that award, apparently, is the pleasure of Gosling’s company. What, Diane, an Oscar isn’t enough?...

She's one of the few women competing at Cannes this year – and with her first feature. Alicia Duffy tells Maddy Costa about her lucky breaks, on-set rows and why Virginia Woolf is an inspiration
Here's a familiar story: a female director, with a clutch of prize-winning short films to her name, has her first feature selected for screening at Cannes. It happened to Lynne Ramsay, whose debut Ratcatcher was shown in 1999, three years after she won the Jury prize for her short Small Deaths. It happened to Andrea Arnold, who won the Jury prize for Red Road, and again in 2009 for Fish Tank. Now it's the turn of Alicia Duffy, whose debut feature, All Good Children, has been selected for the Director's Fortnight.
Like Arnold, who was an actor and TV presenter before switching to directing in her 30s, Duffy, now 38, was a latecomer to cinema. She tried everything from opera singing to advanced maths,...

I'll be seeing a good number of films from this year's Director's Fortnight section. With a line-up comprised of several feature debuts, one of the film's I'm most itching to see is Alicia Duffy's All Good Children, who until I mentioned her here, I hadn't a clue as to who this filmmaker was. I've since become a fan of hers, thanks to her last short film in 2003's The Most Beautiful Man in the World (which was presented in Cannes) and the trailer below (click on screen cap) -- they both present the Pov of a child or children under duress. - I'll be seeing a good number of films from this year's Director's Fortnight section.

There also appears to be hypnotic, naturalistic quality that'll be compared to such films as Duane Hopkins' Better Things are Andrea Arnold's work. After the jump, you'll find a synopsis. Based on Sam Taylor’s novel The Republic of Trees, All Good Children centres on Dara and Eoin,...

The artistic directors of both Directors' Fortnight (Quinzaine de realisateurs) and Critics' Week (La Semaine de la critique) have stated they did not want to pick from Sundance titles. "We try to show films that don't pass through Sundance first", Critics Week’s Artistic Director Jean-Christophe Berjon said, “although U.S. indie entries are well represented this year." "I wanted to change things up and not take any Sundance films unless they were exceptional," said Frederic Boyer said in an interview. Considering how many Sundance titles went to the Berlinale, and that Cannes is 6 months later, singling out Sundance is somewhat odd. We in Us already know that Sundance has a certain sort of American film, and that other films are continually being made that might be just as good but not to the taste of Sundance programmers or simply not timed for the Sundance slot. That the two Cannes...

Cineuropa have produced a deluge of other probable titles that neither Ioncinema.com, nor Screen Daily or for that matter any other trades have mentioned in their predictions lists for the biggie festival next May. I think some of the names/titles aren't better than pure specuIation, but are informed guesses. - Cineuropa have produced a deluge of other probable titles that neither Ioncinema.com, nor Screen Daily or for that matter any other trades have mentioned in their predictions lists for the biggie festival next May. I think some of the names/titles aren't better than pure specuIation, but are informed guesses. Worth noting, I hadn't placed Olivier Assayas’s Carlos or Godard’s Socialism on my original list since they were both supposed to receive some form of a release prior to the fest and for obvious reasons, they are both strong contenders. Here are eight...
