Danièle Delorme: 'Gigi' 1949 actress and pioneering female film producer. Danièle Delorme: 'Gigi' 1949 actress was pioneering woman producer, politically minded 'femme engagée' Danièle Delorme, who died on Oct. 17, '15, at the age of 89 in Paris, is best remembered as the first actress to incarnate Colette's teenage courtesan-to-be Gigi and for playing Jean Rochefort's about-to-be-cuckolded wife in the international box office hit Pardon Mon Affaire. Yet few are aware that Delorme was featured in nearly 60 films – three of which, including Gigi, directed by France's sole major woman filmmaker of the '40s and '50s – in addition to more than 20 stage plays and a dozen television productions in a show business career spanning seven decades. Even fewer realize that Delorme was also a pioneering woman film producer, working in that capacity for more than half a century. Or that she was what in French is called a femme engagée...

The Transporter: Refueled
Written by Luc Besson, Bill Collage and Adam Cooper
Directed by Camille Delamare
France/China, 2015
Whereas each of the first three Transporter vehicles were released at three-year intervals, Refueled arrived in theatres in September of 2015, seven years since audiences last saw lone wolf Frank Martin pack a mean punch towards clients that always try to change the deal. Since then, a television series starring Chris Vance (a co-Canadian production, no less) lasted a couple of seasons and the film franchise’s true star, Jason Statham moved on to bigger things, although whether they were better is entirely up for debate. Luc Besson, co-creator of the first trilogy, saw fit to dive back into the well in the hopes of reviving the character and his many antics in southern France, announcing at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival Frank Martin’s eventual return to the silver screen. Without Statham on board,...

It was just reported that EuropaCorp is rebooting the "Transporter" franchise, with plans of developing a new trilogy. Jason Statham is not returning to play Frank Martin, and now comes word that he'll be replaced by "Game of Thrones" actor Ed Skrein. "We searched everywhere to find a fresh face who had the potential to become an action movie star and we've found the right match with Ed Skrein, who's not only a great actor but also has enough charisma and physical stamina to play Frank Martin," said EuropaCorp CEO Christophe Lambert. Bill Collage and Adam Cooper (Tower Heist) wrote the script, which will bring Frank Martin back to the French Riviera and explore Martin's relationship with his father. "Brick Mansion" director Camille Delammare is directing. Filming is set to begin in June.

Cannes Classics is a recent addition to the festival, and will enjoy its 8th instalment this year. Part of the line-up of this section of the fest is screened at Ceinema de la Plage, that’s right, on the beach. You’ve got to admit that it’s pretty cool – an open-aired screening of a classic film on the French Riviera, away from the exclusivity of the Palais, and able to be enjoyed by Panini-eating passers-by on the Croisette. There should be more of this at the festival, it’s good for the soul.
This year’s line-up of films includes work by Stanley Kubrick, Bernardo Bertolucci, Euzhan Palcy (currently being honored by MoMA in New York) and Jerry Schatzberg, whose photograph of Faye Dunaway is embedded into this year’s festival poster above.
Robert DeNiro and Jane Rosenthal will present a screening of “A Bronx Tale” to celebrate ten...

Locarno International Film Festival In Competition
Riviera is a very broad title for Anne Villaceque's narrow look at a mother and daughter trying to get along amid the temptation and corruption that surrounds them on the Cote d'Azur.
Slow and sometimes incoherent, the film is unlikely to draw much attention to its ill thought out tale of what can happen to a pretty blonde who doesn't know how to say no.
Using close-ups to the point of claustrophobia, writer/director Villaceque follows Antoinette (Miou-Miou) as she cleans rooms at a swanky hotel and worries about her seldom seen daughter Stella (Vahina Giocante), who table dances at a nightclub named Milk.
Very little information is offered about the pair although there's no man about the house and when not staring vacantly, Antoinette is not above inviting the pizza delivery guy in for a beer.
Stella is vacuously gullible and believes pretty much what any man tells her including the nightclub boss who says that if she's a very good girl she can make a lot of money and get a boob job.
Impressed by a respectable looking real estate salesman named Romansky (Elie Semoun), whose room she cleans, Mom puts a card from Milk under his door. Romansky is the kind of man who is delighted equally by the automatic curtains in his room and the pornography on the television. He gets himself quickly down to Milk where he immediately spots Stella, and its downhill from there.
What might have been a cautionary tale is let down by inadequate narrative, empty scenes and the director's evident enchantment with Giocante, a love affair not entirely shared by the camera.
