REVIEW: Cosmopolis has everything we like: money, sex, death, desire, power, war and goat cheese.

Posted on May 24, 2012 by

The chauffeurs always stock the limo with goat cheese. Goat cheese and Sobieski.

Clemenceau of Weekly Web Magazine reviewed Cosmopolis. The review is in french but here’s the translation. It’s a good one!

Last movie I saw this week, Cosmopolis by David Cronenberg. The story: It’s one day in the life of Eric Packer, golden boy in need of a haircut when things go off the deep end. I loved it! Hats off to Robert Pattinson’s performance, who’s really good. And I wasn’t a big fan before. It has everything we like: money, sex, death, desire, power, war and goat cheese. The film is hot and the dialogues are completely crazy. The dialogues are from Don DeLillo’s novel, seeing as the movie is an adaptation of his book. Last thing is Mathieu Amalric’s acting (I’m a big fan) and Juliette Binoche who are in the movie and simply amazing.
I gave it 4 out of 5 points. It’s a really great movie that I warmly recommend.

Review starts at 2:27

CANNES: On the eve of Cosmopolis premiere, pics of Sarah Gadon and Emily Hampshire, producer’s son teases us + MORE

Posted on May 24, 2012 by

T’was the night before the Cosmopolis premiere and all through the limo, not a chauffeur was stirring, not even a rat….

Ok that didn’t work. We’re less than 24 hours away from the kick off and the chauffeurs are definitely stirring in the limo. Producer, Paulo Branco’s son was at a run through for the screenings tomorrow and teased a couple of tweets.

Translation (via): ’10 in a room of 4000 seats. 20h before the Premiere. It’s gonna be something’

It IS going to be something. :)

If you recall, Sarah Gadon & Emily Hampshire were recipients of the The Birks Canadian Diamond award. Last night, they collected their prize.

The Birks Canadian Diamond’s first recipients, actresses Emily Hampshire and Sarah Gadon, received their award from Jean-Christophe Bedos, President & CEO of Birks, during Telefilm Canada’s inaugural Tribute To Canadian Talent press event and reception last night in Cannes.

Sarah Gadon also attended the amfAR gala on the eve of the premiere.

So much excitement for the Cosmopolis family! And where is our Eric Packer? After press duties earlier today with Sarah on Le Grand Journal and later on, his first joint interview with David, looks like Robert Pattinson might have met up with Benno! Nancy Babich! ;)

Hope everyone is having fun and we can’t WAIT for all the goodies tomorrow. Is everyone in the limo ready? A few logistics for you:

Earlier we talked about a special TIFF announcement that was being teased. It was released that they are sponsoring an extensive exhibit on David Cronenberg and his film career! Read on from Criterion Cast:

As he hits the Croisette with his brand new film, Cosmopolis, beloved Canadian auteur and Criterion staple David Cronenberg is set to be fodder for a new and brilliant sounding exhibit thanks to the Toronto International Film Festival.

Set to launch in the fall of next year, the exhibit will be turned into a roadshow the summer of 2014, and will feature artifacts, props, documents, interviews and “reconstructed set-pieces from Cronenberg’s films.” There will even be a “multi-platform augmented reality game, The Worlds of David Cronenberg, which will complement and enrich the exhibition using a combination of social media technologies. A dedicated film programme with newly struck 35mm prints and new digital versions of select films will accompany the exhibition.”

In what is easily the most extensive look at Cronenberg’s career, this is one of the most interesting sounding retrospectives in some time. The idea of an AR game being made based on his work is insanely enthralling, and makes me hope like all hell that this sucker makes its way to somewhere near me. Toss in some newly minted 35mm prints of his classic works, and you have a true must-attend retrospective.

Click HERE to read the rest! We’ll wait and see if Cosmopolis is included. It most likely will. :)
