After seeing his last film (Deception) premiere in the Cannes Premiere section last year, Arnaud Desplechin returns to the competition section once again with Brother and Sister. This is his seventh comp offering after La sentinelle (1992), My Sex Life… or How I Got Into an Argument (1996), Esther Kahn (2000), A Christmas Tale (2008), Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian (2013), and the yummy 2019 procedural Oh Mercy!. This sees him reteam with Marion Cotillard and Melvil Poupaud.

Emmanuelle Devos has had a special relationship with Arnaud Desplechin from her first film, La Vie Des Morts, with him as writer/director, on to La Sentinelle (a CinéSalon tribute to Caroline Champetier), My Sex Life... Or How I Got Into An Argument, Esther Kahn, Kings & Queen (Rois & Reine), and A Christmas Tale (Un Conte De Noël).
I met with Emmanuelle Devos at the French Institute Alliance Française (CinéSalon's Enigmatic Emmanuelle Devos) in New York for a conversation on Frédéric Mermoud's Moka, based on the novel by Tatiana de Rosnay in which she stars opposite Nathalie Baye with David Clavel, Olivier Chantreau, Diane Rouxel, and Samuel Labarthe.

Moka star Emmanuelle Devos at the start of our conversation at the French Institute Alliance Française, mentioned seeing Laura Linney and Cynthia Nixon in Lillian Hellman's Little Foxes and Laurie Metcalf and Chris Cooper in Lucas Hnath's A Doll's House, Part 2 on Broadway. She has a long history with her first director, Arnaud Desplechin (My Sex Life... Or How I Got Into An Argument, Esther Kahn, A Christmas Tale, Kings & Queen), who also directed her son Raphaël Cohen in My Golden Days. Desplechin and Mathieu Amalric regular Grégoire Hetzel is Moka's co-composer. Emmanuelle and I had spoken at the Tribeca Film Festival with Jérôme Bonnell for his Le Temps De L'Aventure (Just A Sigh).

If I had to select the contemporary filmmaker who’s most attuned to the relationship between thought and action — more specifically, the contemporary filmmaker who can best articulate the gap between these modes through cinema’s tools of expression — Arnaud Desplechin might be my strongest answer. Deeply empathetic toward its wounded characters, formally energized to the point of a viewer’s (appreciated) exhaustion, and often marked by a wicked sense of humor, they’re so alive because a writer and director of total ingenuity is branding them with his sensibilities.
His newest picture, My Golden Days — a prequel to 1996’s My Sex Life… or How I Got Into an Argument, which you should see in the first place but don’t have to see in order to understand this effort, because such is the nature of prequels — jumps between decades, countries, and states of mind via protagonist Paul Dedalus, played...

Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.

The Notebook is the North American home for Locarno Film Festival Artistic Director Carlo Chatrian's blog. Chatrian has been writing thoughtful blog entries in Italian on Locarno's website since he took over as Director in late 2012, and now you can find the English translations here on the Notebook as they're published. The Locarno Film Festival will be taking place August 3 - 13. Howard Shore. © Benjamin Ealovega Film music is a subject that requires very delicate handling. As if music, more so even than sound itself, had arrived in the cinema with the table laid and the party already begun, requiring it therefore to be a very discreet guest.It makes little difference that we know that the movies – well before they became the talkies – needed musical accompaniment; it makes little difference that film music, whether by pioneering pianists or great composers, has given greater depth to the moving image and developed...

#1. Arnaud Desplechin’s Jimmy P.
Gist: Desplechin’s first film in 5 years, his first English language, U.S. production pits muse Mathieu Amalric vs. Benicio Del Toro as the titular Picard. Adapted from Psychotherapy Of A Plains Indian, by acclaimed ethnologist and psychologist Georges Devereux. It is the true story of a friendship between a Native American and a French psychoanalyst.
Prediction: With the exception of 2004′s Kings and Queen, Desplechin has been a staple of the film fest dating back to Critics’ Week showing of his debut film La Vie Des Morts (1991), and then almost all Main Comp showings of La Sentinelle (1992), My Sex Life… or How I Got Into an Argument (1996), Esther Kahn (2000), Playing ‘In the Company of Men’ (2003) and his last picture, 2008′s A Christmas Tale. If Del Toro and/or Amalric come home empty-handed with Best Actor prizes, then this means a top three finish. Now...

(Summer Phoenix, left)
(I spoke with Summer Phoenix for Venice Magazine in spring of 2002, during a time when she was getting a real publicity push and lots of work. A press kit that was sent to me in advance had articles from just about every major newspaper and magazine. She was living in London at the time, doing a play with Casey Affleck, who she would marry a few years later. I thought she was quite strong in both The Believer, which would give Ryan Gosling a big push, and a lesser-seen film called Esther Kahn, in which she was the lead. I don't know if she has abandoned acting for the time being, as her IMDb credits seem to stop in 2004. Regardless, I believe she is still a talent and an interesting person from the film world of the decade that was, and so am including our talk in our flashback series.

Movies are made up of images, even the bad ones. But the bad movies rarely leave any images lingering in your brain. The great films are the ones making great images. A great image is many things, by nature diffuse, and we might agree that any great image moves even when stopped still, opening its own cinematic world. Thus, The Notebook's decision to celebrate our recent decade not with a list but with this stream. Each contributor was asked to pick 1 film he or she wants to remember from the 2000s, select 1 image from that film to remember it by, and write one sentence to supplement their selection. We've done our best to craft not simply a grab bag but a cogent flow of the indelible, one image speaking to the next on a variety of registers: from film to film, between color and compositional rhymes, and, as you'll read,...

Since 1996's My Sex Life. Or How I Got Into An Argument, a three-hour dissection of modern relationships that's every bit as exhaustive as its title, restlessness and discord have been the primary modes of Arnaud Desplechin's directorial career. Even a departure like his underrated 2000 period piece Esther Kahn seemed perversely idiosyncratic and confrontational, what with its deliberately blank lead performance by Summer Phoenix and its plain, unburnished images of Victorian England. So leave it to the ornery Desplechin to take the stuffing out of the holiday movie with A Christmas Tale, which greets the season with the deep family dysfunction that most films are anxious to salve in time for Midnight Mass. It's the definition of a film meant to be admired more than loved, but Desplechin's fierce intelligence and uncompromising sense of character come through, as does some of the sharp wit and stylistic flourishes left over.

A Christmas TALEby Steve Ramos, Writer From Paris With Passion - filmmaker Arnaud Desplechin delivers with 'A Christmas Tale' A few things to remember about French filmmaker Arnaud Desplechin are his impressive work history of eight feature films, including the London-based period drama "Esther Kahn;' that four of his films have been in competition at Cannes and that French performers, including his male muse Mathieu Amalric, enthusiastically seek out the opportunity to work with him. The fact that most American moviegoers, even those who regularly frequent art house cinemas, require a biography on Desplechin, or a list of his previous movies, speaks to a more pressing dilemma. With his latest drama "A Christmas Tale" ("Un Conte de Noël") (the film opens in New York Nov. 14 before expanding across the country), Desplechin proves himself to be a master filmmaker at the height of his art. He's both an expert storyteller,...
