Jethro Lazenby, who worked as an actor and model under the name Jethro Cave, has died. He was 31.
The news announced by his father, musician Nick Cave. No cause of death was given. He is the second son Cave has lost at a young age.
“With much sadness, I can confirm that my son, Jethro, has passed away,” the Bad Seeds frontman said in a statement obtained by the BBC. “We would be grateful for family privacy at this time.”
Lazenby, whose mother was Australian model Beau Lazenby, was the musician’s eldest child and was 8 before he found out who his father was.
As a teen, he found work as a model for brands such as Balenciaga and Versace and appeared in two movies, Corroboree in 2007 and 2011’s My Little Princess, which starred Isabelle Huppert.

Youth Without Youth: Ionesco Waxes and Wavers on Partying at Le Palace
Writer-director Eva Ionesco returns to semi-autobiographical inspiration for her sophomore film Golden Youth (Une jeunesse dorée), reuniting with French icon Isabelle Huppert, who headlined 2011’s My Little Princess, an incendiary recapitulation of the director’s tempestuous relationship with her photographer mother. Her latest is set in the late 70s, during the fading days of the famed Parisian nightclub Le Palace, a mecca of the period’s varied iniquities (comparable to New York’s Studio 54), where a young couple in love find themselves sucked up into the bizarre sexual decadence of a much older couple who prey on the malleable young creatures they lasso at the club.…...

Twelve-year-old Maleah Ellis, her mom Stefanie and family friend Angela Linner were sitting in a car outside their Phoenix home when a stranger pulled up and opened fire. All three were killed - shot more than 30 times, according to Sefanie's brother - by a suspected serial killer who has been unleashing violence at random across the city since March, police believe. Seven people have been killed and two others wounded in a series of attacks that have led authorities to offer a $30,000 reward and warn residents city-wide to stay alert whenever they go outside. The victims were shot as they walked down the sidewalk,...

At the time of its production, Louis Malle’s 1978 title Pretty Baby (the title derived from the Tony Jackson song) was quite the scandal, a period piece frankly depicting child prostitution in turn of the century New Orleans. But like many provocative titles from the period (another being Richard Brooks’ Looking For Mr. Goodbar), decades of suppression has resulted in unavailability and a disappearance from modern cinematic conversations. Recently made available courtesy of the Warner Bros. Archive collection (solely on DVD) this is property begging for a more masterful restoration.
In the Red Lights district of 1917 New Orleans, legal prostitution is on the wane as a surge of conservative, religious rhetoric begins to sweep through the country. Nell (Francis Faye) owns a booming brothel in the famed Storyville district, and one of her most notable employees is Hattie (Susan Sarandon), whose twelve-year-old daughter Violet (Brooke Shields) has grown up within the house.

One Flew Over the Housing Project: Forbes Relates Childhood Memories in Debut
Screenwriter Maya Forbes makes her directorial debut with Infinitely Polar Bear, an exploration of a specific and potentially tumultuous period from her youth. Potentially because she paints these memories over with a glossy lamination, and despite some seriously committed performances, the end result feels a bit too removed from reality to feel as emotionally potent or resonant as one would hope.
In 1978 Cambridge, Massachusetts, Amelia (Imogene Wolodarsky) and her younger sister Faith (Ashley Aufderheide) have grown up with caring parents under problematic circumstances. Manic depressive father, Cameron (Mark Ruffalo) is unable to hold down a job, leaving mother Maggie (Zoe Saldana) to take care of most things on her own. Following a nervous breakdown and brief institutionalization, Cameron and Maggie separate. However, Maggie’s inability to find a decent job leads her to desperate measures so she can...

The Smell Of Us
Director: Larry Clark
Writer: Mathieu Landais
Producers: Morgane Production’s Gérard Lacroix, Polyesters’ Pierre-Paul Puljiz
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Michael Pitt, Alex Martin, Lucas Ionesco
Larry Clark is back again, and quite quickly, since his last film was 2012’s Marfa Girl. The often controversial filmmaker turns his sights to skateboarders, which automatically puts us in mind of Gus Van Sant’s Paranoid Park. A cast led by Michael Pitt lends to the intrigue, as well as the presence of Lucas Ionesco, son of Eva Ionesco and grandson of Irina Ionesco, an infamous family in France (and Eva Ionesco directed a 2011 film called My Little Princess starring Isabelle Huppert, which documented her childhood as a nude model for her mother’s photographs).
Gist: Follows a group of self-destructive skateboarders in Paris.

Name Dropper: Conflicting Techniques Clutter Agnes B.’s Debut
French fashion designer and film producer Agnes Trouble makes her directorial and screenwriting debut under the pseudonym Agnes B. with Je M’appelle Hmm…, a hodge podge of jarring techniques that distorts an otherwise difficult narrative hinged upon such taboo subject matter as incestuous pedophilia. A debut born from a creative mind outside of the cinematic medium, it shares many shortcomings and other similarities with the 2011 debut of Eva Ionesco, My Little Princess. While that film’s subpar elements hide neatly behind the blonde frizzied monstrous feminine of Isabelle Huppert, Agnes B. has no such forgiving beacon, truncating narrative growth at every turn.
Celine (Lou-Lelia Demerliac) is an 11 year-old with a rather troubling secret, one she can only discuss while alone with her disheveled Barbie doll. While mom (Sylvie Testud) wastes away her time as a waitress, out of work dad...

On Monday night, E4 launched a new dating show that involved fairytale fancy dress, power ballad singing and catapults.
My Little Princess is the latest in a long history of bonkers dating shows that have made it to the small screen and in tribute to the TV commissioners who considered them wise ideas and in any way romantic, we've collected together our 15 personal favourites.
My Little Princess
Men dressed as princes, who must impress an evil king to secure a date with his daughter. Standard. Throw in lots of mud, talking horses, power ballad sing-offs and men being thrown off bridges. Obviously. My Little Princess blends Tool Academy and Takeshi's Castle to make the ultimate dumb dating show.
Singled Out
The classic MTV series hosted by Chris Hardwick and Jenny McCarthy in the Us featured a wild audience of contestants, who looked like they'd been dragged in from a booze-laden Spring Break wet T-shirt contest.

Photo: Cannes Film Festival Update: The full line-up is now available right here. We are now less than 24 hours away from the official 2012 Cannes Film Festival line-up announcement and I have to admit, my excitement for what may come is hitting overload. As much as the Toronto Film Festival has come to be the place where several films begin their Oscar run, there simply is nothing better than the international cinematic prestige of attending the Cannes Film Festival each year and this will mark my third year attending. With that in mind, late last night I added an additional nine films to the RopeofSilicon database that have the potential of being named during tomorrow's (April 19) announcement, which should come sometime around 2 or 3 Am Pst. After doing so I felt it wouldn't hurt to take one last look at what films have the strongest chance of showing up at the festival this year.

There's something really disturbing about Eva Ionesco's My Little Princess. The plot for the film, the story of a failed artist who takes up the camera and makes a splash in the world of photography by taking provocative photos of models (the most prominent of which feature her young daughter) is already eyebrow-raising but there's an added layer of creepiness when one realizes that not only is the film written and directed by a woman but Ionesco is mining her own experiences with her mother for the story.

As noted last week, with support from the 4+1 Film Festival, we're celebrating the 50th anniversary of Critics' Week with a free retrospective of some of the greatest films screened over the past 50 editions. What follows is a roundup of what the critics are saying about the films screening this year.

"In his latest he returns to Tarnation's material: his rich but intensely difficult family life. At the heart of Walk Away Renée is a road trip he takes with his mother, Renée, from Houston to New York State, as he helps her transfer from one assisted-living facility to another.

Regardless what larger themes or shifting styles that are discovered or get attached to this year's Cannes batch, one of the major conversation starters is the prominence of global female filmmakers at the festival. There are 22 feature films by female directors (and I'm not even including the short films) which should be a record for any festival in recent memory. We have renowned auteurs Naomi Kawase and Lynne Ramsay to actress-turned-directors, Jodie Foster, Maiwenn, Nadine Labaki, Eva Ionesco, Hagar Ben Asher. Among the 22, with have a dozen or so from first time filmmakers including Julia Leigh (see below) whose first film is in the official competition and comes with the blessing from fellow Australian and Palme d'Or winner Jane Campion. See the 22 names below. The Official Competition Naomi Kawase, Hanezu No Tsuki Julia Leigh, Sleeping Beauty Maiwenn, Polisse Lynne Ramsay, We Need to Talk about Kevin Out of Competition Jodie Foster,...

La Semaine de la Critique, known in the English-speaking world as Critics' Week, is celebrating its 50th year, and festivals and institutions from all over — and we at Mubi are excited to be among them — are chiming in with special series and retrospectives saluting some the greatest film that have premiered at this parallel section of the Cannes Film Festival. Watch this space for upcoming details. Meantime, here's the lineup for Critics' Week 2011.
Feature Films
Hagar Ben Asher's The Slut. This debut feature "will tell of a woman (Ben Asher herself) drifting away from one sexual encounter to another," writes Eithan Weitz at Ioncinema. Tamar’s behavior is fixed. One man after another, a hand job, a blow job, and so on. But she is also the mother of Mika and Noa, 12 and 8. She no longer seeks redemption, until Shai arrives. He comes in order to handle his dead mother’s property.
