As Kirsten Dunst gears up for her directorial debut next year with an adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s landmark 1963 novel The Bell Jar, she’s been expanding her cast. With Dakota Fanning on board to lead as Esther Greenwood, Jesse Plemons recently joined, and now ScreenDaily reports that Oscar-winner Patricia Arquette, Bel Powley (The Diary Of A Teenage Girl) and Stacy Martin (Nymphomaniac) have all been added to the ensemble. The story follows Greenwood, who suffers from a mental illness, returning to her Boston home after interning at a magazine in New York City. Production begins early next year for a hopeful festival premiere later in 2017.
In other cast expansions, production has now begun on David Robert Mitchell‘s follow-up to It Follows, the Andrew Garfield-led modern-day noir thriller Under the Silver Lake. We got word earlier this week that Riley Keough (American Honey, Mad Max: Fury Road) had...

The Berlin International Film Festival continued to challenge expectations in its 66th edition, landing another auteur heavy competition line-up, albeit a slightly less sensational one than the landmark 2015 program. Although an attempt continues to be made to establish grand motifs between films in competition and the more experimental sidebars, topical issues seemed to be the name of the game across the board, particularly immigration. This culminated with this year’s Golden Bear winner, Gianfranco Rosi’s Fire at Sea, a documentary which was the clear early favorite and remained so up until the awards ceremony. Rosi has now won two major film festivals with his documentary work (previously taking home the top prize at Venice 2013 for Sacro Gra), and further solidifies an argument for the Cannes Film Festival to follow suit and allow documentary titles to play in the main competition. Berlin notably had two documentaries in the main competition this year,...

★★★☆☆ Guillaume Nicloux reunites with Gérard Depardieu - following last year's Cannes title Valley of Love - for The End, a lean, spiritual voyage into the unknown. Opening with the sound of a dog barking and the ringing of an alarm clock, the first shot of Nicloux's latest sees Depardieu strewn atop his bed in just his underwear. It's a revealing opening, but there's a sense we're going to learn a lot more about Depardieu than whether he's a briefs or boxers man. Depardieu plays an unnamed hunter and we join him and his dog as they depart for a nearby forest to snare some rabbits - or perhaps he's hunting for something far more elusive? His excursion soon progresses from carefree meandering to a palpable sense of placelessness and it doesn't take long before the hunter's dog disappears and he finds himself lost.

Returning with another diverse, auteur heavy line-up with their 66th edition, the Berlin International Film Festival continues to impress just as much with selections available outside of the titles competing for the coveted Golden Bear (including the festival’s second edition of a Critics’ Week, where the latest titles from Andrzej Zulawski and Philippe Grandrieux are playing). New items from Bence Fliegauf, Eugene Green, Anna Muylaert, Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Doris Dorrie are also significant highlights, but here’s a glance at my top five most anticipated.
#5. An Outpost of Progress – Dir. Hugo Vieira da Silva
Portuguese director Hugo Vieira da Silva returns with this adaptation of a Joseph Conrad story (the author considered this his best work), a tale of two colonial officials in a remote ivory trading post on the Congo. Conrad remains a difficult author to translate to the screen (some great exceptions from Coppola, Patrice Chereau, and...

The Wandering
Director: Guillaume Nicloux
Writer: Guillaume Nicloux
Shortly after premiering his latest film Valley of Love at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, Guillaume Nicloux very quietly filmed his next feature, Dans les bois (The Wandering), reuniting him with star Gerard Depardieu. Described as a fantasy thriller where Depardieu plays a man who walks his dog in the woods and gets lost only to start having strange encounters with ‘enigmatic creatures,’ we’re pumped to see Nicloux’s latest, also starring director Xavier Beauvois. The film sounds like a departure for Nicloux, whose reputation has advanced significantly with his last three features, including Love, The Nun, and The Kidnapping of Michel Houellebecq. But several of Nicloux’s earlier works include similar sounding fantastical elements, such as 2006’s The Stone Council or The Key (2007).
