French singer-writer-composer Charles Dumont, who is best known for co-writing Édith Piaf classic Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, has died at the age of 95 after a long illness.
Dumont, who was born in the French city of Cahors in 1929, developed an early passion for jazz and trained first to be a trumpet player at the Toulouse Music Conservatory.
He moved to Paris after Word War Two, where he continued his music career but had to abandon the trumpet after an operation on his tonsils. He then pivoted to the piano and composition writing.
Throughout the 1950s, Dumont continued to work in music while staying financially afloat with odd jobs. It was during this period that he met lyricist and long-time collaborator Michel Vaucaire, and the pair co-wrote Non, Je Regrette Rien in 1956.
According to Dumont’s own account, Piaf iconic connection to Non, Je Regrette Rien nearly did not happen after the singing star,...

French acting star Alain Delon, whose many iconic roles included Le Samouraï, Plein Soleil and The Leopard, has died in France at the age of 88.
The actor’s children said in a statement that their father had passed away in the early hours of Sunday, surrounded by his family and beloved Belgian Shepherd Loubo, in his long-time chateau home in the village of Douchy, in the Le Loiret region some 100 miles south of Paris.
Delon’s death marks the passing of one of the last surviving icons of the French cinema scene of the 1960s and 70s, when the country was on an economic roll as it reconstructed in the wake of World War II.

When scientists Katia and Maurice Krafft married in 1970, they headed to a place where few couples would choose to honeymoon: an active volcano. But Mount Stromboli off the coast of Sicily could not have suited them better as the love they shared was equaled only by their passion for the study of volcanoes.

Thierry Ardisson, a famous French TV journalist, host and producer known for roasting some of the biggest stars and political figures in modern history, has teamed up with Mediawan’s 3eme Oeil Productions to resuscitate late icons in “L’hotel du Temps.”

He interviews them in his favorite Parisian palace, the Hotel Meurice. Represented by Mediawan Rights, “L’Hotel du Temps” has been commissioned by French public broadcaster France Televisions’ France 3 channel for primetime.
Ardisson has tapped an extended team of researchers to explore all interviews and statements that each person ever gave and look at other material in order to craft the segments.

Hmmm, just a few more days until the last Summer holiday, so there’s still time for a vacation, or at least a vicarious one with a very funny duo. Here’s their third cinematic excursion together, so let’s just go ahead and call it a movie franchise. And a most welcome, entertaining one at that. As long as there are countries that cook, it could go on for a long, long time (if we’re lucky). Under the pretense of a newspaper writing assignment we first got to accompany Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as they traveled their native Britain, dashing from one splendid restaurant, while enjoying very plush accommodations at first class inns and hotels, in 2011’s The Trip. The two played heightened versions of themselves (much like Larry David in HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and the celeb guests on the much-missed “The Larry Saunders Show...

“To me, music is the soul of the film,” Xavier Dolan said in an interview with Slant Magazine in 2012, just as his third feature Laurence Anyways was about to makes it premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section. More than most directors, it seems, Dolan seems to blur the line between film and music video, bringing the two together tastefully, offering interludes that are just as important to the whole of the film as any dialogue scene. These scenes, perhaps, allow Dolan to exercise his more indulgent side, but they give his films a gorgeous full bodied appeal. Also giving him the opportunity to experiment with technique, Dolan brings an inventiveness and assuredness to both forms unlike any director.
The 25 year-old director has taste, certainly, allowing the music he chooses (from The Knife to Celine Dion, from Duran Duran to Rufus Wainwright) to ebb and...

Heartbeats (aka Les Amours Imaginaires)
Stars: Xavier Dolan, Monia Chokri, Niels Schneider | Written and Directed by Xavier Dolan
Heartbeats is Xavier Dolan’s second film, and his second to be featured at Cannes. He’s also just 22 (21 when this released in Canada, and 20 when his debut I Killed My Mother came out). If that doesn’t intrigue you to watch this (as well as cause a little envy), I don’t know what will.
While I Killed My Mother was a more personal and dramatic film, Heartbeats is light-hearted, and very funny. It follows best friends Francis (Dolan) and Marie (Chokri) as they both fall in love with the new guy in town, Nicolas (Schneider). Unknowingly, they begin to compete with each other to get closer to him, while his sexual preference remains a mystery for most of the film.

Xavier Dolan is having a tough time getting into America. The night before we were scheduled to speak, his flight was stuck in Montreal as a result of the snow that's blanketed New York in recent months and as a result, he missed out on wining and dining the likes of John Cameron Mitchell, amongst others, at the film's U.S. premiere, though in his apology, he noted not only the circumstances that prevented him from attending the gala, but also the ones that have kept his first film "I Killed My Mother" from reaching the States after causing a sensation at Cannes, where it picked up an unheard of three prizes for the story of a gay teen who routinely clashes with his ma.

A native of Montreal, Dolan is a former child actor who wrote and directed his first film, I Killed My Mother, at age 20, after dropping out of university. That movie, a semi-autobiographical tale of coming out which debuted at Cannes in the Un Certain Regard sidebar, won three awards at the 2009 festival, including the Regards Jeune given to young filmmakers of great promise.
A stylized depiction of hopelessly “imaginary” love, Xavier Dolan’s sophomore feature Heartbeats (which also premiered at Cannes) trails a pair of close friends—witty, Audrey Hepburn manqué Marie (Monia Chokri) and sweet-faced Francis (Dolan)—who simultaneously crush out on tousle-haired Nicolas (Niels Schneider), a dreamy new acquaintance whose Adonis-like physical beauty and bedroom-ready manner drive them into a passive-aggressive rivalry for his affection. Although the love-triangle motif evokes films as diverse as Jules et Jim and Y tu mamá también, Dolan’s dazzling slo-mo fantasy sequences...

Montreal-based actor and filmmaker Xavier Dolan was only 20 when his semi-autobiographical 2009 feature debut, I Killed My Mother, won three awards in the Directors' Fortnight section at Cannes. A talented whippersnapper to say the least, the not-yet-22-year-old Dolan again wrote, directed and stars in the hip romantic drama-cum-farce Heartbeats (Les Amours imaginaires), which premieres in limited release this Friday:
Francis (Xavier Dolan) and Marie (Monia Chokri) are close friends. One day, during a lunch, they meet Nicolas (Niels Schneider), a young man from the country newly arrived in town. As one rendezvous leads troublingly to another—whether real or imagined, the signs are all bad—each of the two friends slides deeper into obsessive fantasies around the same object of desire. And the deeper they slide, the more their once cast-iron friendship begins to crack under the pressure of competing for the new kid on the block.

Behold the best movie soundtracks of last year. After what seemed like a sluggish start, 2010 actually turned out to be a pretty decent one for motion picture soundtracks. Not a great one admittedly, with there scarcely being a glut of classic albums as we survey the output of the year just gone from the hindsight-tabulous vantage point of January 2011. But a handful sneaked through to thrill us lucky listeners.
If we’re looking for trends with which to characterise 2010, then two things stand out. Firstly, the sheer importance of music to the entire endeavour of movie-making was underlined for the nth but not final time, with many of the best soundtracks of the year belonging to what were also some of the best films of the year (The Social Network, Black Swan, Monsters). And secondly, that while some of the old guard are delivering increasingly formulaic work (Danny Elfman, I am looking at you.

The best soundtracks of 2010 are somewhat varied and random. Not always does a great film produce great music and sometimes a horrible film can have decent music, there is no pattern. Thus, I have made my own very subjective selective pattern. Using my main theory that a soundtrack is best when it reflects and capitalizes on the moments and story of the film and weaker when its motive is good music placed thoughtlessly in scenes, each inclusion still has its own exceptions. For instance, monotony is not a highly praised quality, but see how many Brian Eno and Broken Social Scene tracks are present on this list! So read, enjoy, agree or disagree because it is all in good fun.

Blogging from a festival is a daunting task. The London Film Festival is a massive deal, at least from a raw numbers point of view. With the late additions to the bill, it comes to over 200 films, in just over two weeks of screenings.
Making sense of it all is made easier by spotting threads, be it thematic, national or topical, and these columns are spinning out of that thinking. I was surprised by how immediately the connections presented themselves. It's silly, really, as this is a pretty well curated amalgam of cinema.
Within the first week of previews, I was blindsided by a selection of films that, you could say, strayed a little close to home. They featured young adults, that key demographic that sits in between maturity and middle age,...
