‘Great Freedom’ Review: A Gay Convict Bides His Time for Change in This Terrific German Prison Drama
Like a scene of the 1969 moon landing seen on a prison TV late in “Great Freedom” — “I thought it would be more exciting,” muses one inmate — seismic change seems less spectacular when charted against the everyday grind of life behind bars in this gripping, tender-hearted prison drama from Austrian director Sebastian Meise. That extends to another historical milestone from the same summer: the West German authorities’ easing of Paragraph 175, by which men had hitherto been imprisoned for homosexual acts. Following the decades leading up to this change through the eyes of one repeat offender, Meise’s film is an exquisite marriage of personal, political and sensual storytelling, its narrative and temporal drift tightened by another performance of quietly piercing vulnerability from Franz Rogowski.
“Great Freedom” arrives a full 10 years after Meise’s first fiction feature, the complex, controversial family drama “Still Life,” and duly confirms all the poised promise of...

At the risk of making myself redundant, you only need to look at the premise for this film to know whether it is definitely not for you - given that it is squarely focused on a dying man, John (James Norton), who is trying to find an adoptive family for his four-year-old son Michael (Daniel Lamont).
That being said, providing you are in a space where you can cope with having your heart gently broken over the course of an hour and a half, Uberto Pasolini’s contemplation of a man grieving for the passing of his own life is well worth your time. The director, who previously made the equally moving Eddie Marson film Still Life, which came at death from an unusual angle, avoids mawkishness in favour of a more subtle exploration of letting go.

After playing psychopaths and priests, the actor is starring in an almost unbearably tragic role. He discusses bullies, broodiness and blockbusters
James Norton’s latest film, Nowhere Special, has a premise so tragic it should be completely unfilmable. He plays John, a 35-year-old single father who is given a few months to live, and has to find a new family for his three-year-old son. Even before you factor in the incredible performance by Daniel Lamont, who was only four when the film was shot, it sounds too obviously a tear-jerker, especially from Uberto Pasolini, a director known for Still Life, a very finely drawn, understated film in 2013, which comes at death from a much more oblique angle.
In fact, the film slips deftly past any obvious poignance to create something much more complicated, with arresting performances from Norton and his tiny co-star. “Credit must be given to the director,” Norton insists,...

Leading arthouse sales company The Match Factory has pre-sold Austrian director and screenwriter Sebastian Meise’s second feature “Great Freedom,” which plays in Un Certain Regard at Cannes on Thursday, to Paname Distribution in France. The Match Factory has debuted the teaser and the poster for the film, which was created by Vasilis Marmatakis, the designer of the artwork for Yorgos Lanthimos’ films.
The film is set in post-war Germany, where Hans is imprisoned again and again for being homosexual. Due to paragraph 175 of the penal code his desire for freedom is systematically destroyed. The one steady relationship in his life becomes his long-time cell mate, Viktor, a convicted murderer. What starts as revulsion grows into something called love.
“Great Freedom” stars Franz Rogowski (“A Hidden Life”) and Berlinale Silver bear awardee Georg Friedrich (“Helle Nächte”) in the leading roles.

The great Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhang-Ke has made both dramas and documentaries across his award-winning career so far, yet what binds all his movies is a sense that the labels of fiction and non-fiction aren’t as necessary as the observation that what he’s working in is a large, unimpeachable truth about people and progress in a rapidly changing China.
Sometimes it comes in story form, but against a hard reality — like his early pictures about disaffected teenagers or his Three Gorges dam film “Still Life” — and sometimes the focus is real people, but always in the context of the vast narrative that is China’s monumental economic and social transformation, a distinction that marks his latest documentary, “Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns Blue.”

Film Movement has acquired North American rights to Cathy Yan’s feature debut “Dead Pigs” which won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance in 2018.
Film Movement will release the film in North America in theaters, virtual cinema, home entertainment and digital platforms in June.
“Dead Pigs” is social satire about the trials and tribulations connecting a disparate group of people in the midst of a baffling nationwide mystery. Shifting between Shanghai and the neighboring provincial town of Jiaxing, the film centers on the intersecting stories of five characters whose fates converge and collide as thousands of dead pigs are found floating down the Huangpu River.
The movie, which is set against the backdrop of globalization, drastic social change and increasing wealth inequality, stars an international ensemble cast including Vivian Wu (“The Last Emperor”), Mason Lee (“Lucy”), Zazie Beetz (“Atlanta”), Meng Li (“The Bad Kids”), Haoyu Yang (“The Wandering Earth”) and...

Like Jia Zhangke’s Still Life, Giraffe is a fiction sketched around the margins of an infrastructure project, capturing impressions of life and landscape in a place across which the state will soon sweep like a hand across a countertop. Instead of Still Life’s Three Gorges Dam, which juxtaposed the epic scope of the Ccp’s ambition against the worker ants carrying the project out or being washed away in its wake, Giraffe’s Danish director Anna Sofie Hartmann tells a prototypical EU story of technocratic consensus and its faint, localized counterweight of regret over dying tradition.

Uberto Pasolini goes back many years, and several films, with the Venice Film Festival, starting with 1995’s black comedy “Palookaville,” which he produced. A quarter of a century later, he’s back with Horizons entry “Nowhere Special,” his third film as director, which follows in the footsteps of previous Lido visitors “Machan” (2008) and “Still Life” (2013). Although perhaps best known for his 1997 British box-office hit “The Full Monty,” which he developed and produced as an ensemble crowdpleaser, Pasolini’s own films tend to be intimate modest character studies, and “Nowhere Special” is no exception.
A spare and intimate drama set in contemporary Belfast, it stars British rising star James Norton as John, a 35-year-old window cleaner, who is bringing up his four-year-old son Michael alone, after the child’s Russian mother abandoned them. When we meet him, John has been diagnosed with cancer, and, with only a few months left to live,...

Kevin Morby has shared “Campfire,” the first offering from his new album Sundowner, out October 16th via Dead Oceans.
Directed by Johnny Eastlund and Dylan Isbell, the video features Morby at Castle Rock in Kansas — playing guitar and surrounded by limestone. He meets up with his partner, Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee, who drives off in an old Ford pickup, with Morby riding in the truck bed. “Now that it’s dusk, kids scatter the avenue,” he sings. “Hey, who are you? I’m a sundowner too.”

Exclusive: Left Bank Pictures was trailblazing among British producers in forging strong ties with Netflix through The Crown — and now the company is on the brink of landing its first series with Amazon.
Deadline can reveal that Left Bank is closing a deal to adapt Louise Penny’s bestselling Chief Inspector Gamache crime novels for the Jeff Bezos-owned streamer, in a series titled Three Pines.
Left Bank has attached The Tunnel and Law & Order: UK writer Emilia di Girolamo to pen the show, while The Crown and Humans director Sam Donovan will be the lead director, helming four episodes.
The title, Three Pines, is a reference to the fictional French Canadian village in which Chief Inspector Gamache operates. The French-speaking detective probes crimes in his Quebec community, digging up long-buried secrets and discovering his own ghosts. Among his quirks is speaking English in an English accent thanks to his Cambridge education.

Jia Zhangke on Cinema in the Time of Coronavirus and the Undeniable Truths of Documentary Filmmaking
For more than two and a half decades, the films of Jia Zhangke have given the world a poetic and deeply personal account of the shifting social plains of modern China. From early masterworks The World (2004) and Still Life (2006), to the baroque genre leanings of A Touch of Sin (2013) and–more recently–the far-reaching epics of Mountains May Depart (2015) and Ash is Purest White (2018), his work has organically documented that sea change without ever zooming out too much from the human lives within.
Jia makes a rare return to documentary filmmaking, his first in ten years, with Swimming Out Till The Sea Turns Blue, a movie that sees the director looking back once again. It is an account of the urbanization of his native Chanxi province, although this time told through the memories of four authors (three living and one dead). Swimming Out recently premiered at the Berlin International Film...
