When a strong north wind blows through town, it brings the vivacious and mysterious Vianne (Juliette Binoche) and her young daughter,.. Read more

  • 02 Apr 2012

  French star Juliette Binoche has twice considered giving up acting after becoming convinced her career was on the slide. The brunette beauty found fame in the 1980s and worked constantly before starring in 1991's Les Amants du Pont-Neuf. Binoche admits the project was "difficult" and made her want to quit the industry, but she carried on and scored hits with The English Patient and Chocolat. However, Binoche once again suffered a crisis of confidence around the time of 2005's Cache, admitting... Read more

  

  Defending Binoche

  • 01 Sep 2010

  “Absolutely nothing!” That’s how Gerard Depardieu ripped into Juliette Binoche the other day. “Explain to me what the secret of this actress is meant to be? I would really like to know why she has been so esteemed for so many years. She has nothing!” Phew! It’s not often a film star breaks ranks and offers a negative assessment of a colleague’s work – at least, not for public consumption. Depardieu, of course, is his own man and has absolutely...

  The Hoax

  • 30 Jul 2007

  File it under: Strange but True. In 1971 Clifford Irving was a writer on the verge of greatness - at least he thought so. Unfortunately his publishers at McGraw-Hill were less convinced, and knocked back the manuscript for his latest novel. With an ego as big as his debts, Irving retaliated with a wild claim. He had the book of the century in his lap, he told them. Mr Howard Hughes had reached out to him, Cliff Irving, and asked him to ghost write his life story. It was all hogwash. But Irving Read more

  Tom Hanks looks like he is heading west for the first time. Reports indicate that he has now signed up for a western. The Oscar winner has acted in over thirty films - including adventures in space, with a mermaid, in various wars, and as a toy cowboy - but he has never been in the Wild West. "Boone's Lick" will see Hollywood's most bankable star work alongside Julianne Moore. Moore plays Hanks' character's sister-in-law. Moore's character takes her family from Boone's Lick, Montana,...

  In the Best Possible Taste: The Foodie Movie

  • 08 Oct 2007

  It was in Breakfast of Champions that Kurt Vonnegut imagined life on a planet devoid of all plants and animals save humanoids. These humanoids took pleasure in (to our minds) an exotic, even aberrant form of pornography. It wasn't the sexual act that repelled and transfixed them. It was images of food and eating. For an hour and a half, the movie camera barely strayed from close ups of lips, teeth, and bobbing Adam's apples as a family pigged out over a simulated meal. At the film's climax,... Read more
