10 movies to look forward in 2017

Just a few days ago we got a taste of what to expect from the much awaited and criticized 'Blade Runner' sequel, and while i don't expect it to be something as big and iconic as the original 1982 film, it looks intriguing to me. But that only reminds me of all of the films coming this 2017 and how much i'm looking forward for them so here are the 10 movies i want to watch this next year really badly:


Blade Runner 2049
While it's not directed by Ridley Scott as the classic movie is, Denis Villeneuve is a director to keep an eye on, as he has already delivered some interesting works like 'Prisoners', 'Sicario' or the recent 'Arrival' so i have high hopes for it. It also helps that the trailer looks amazing and it contains the whole mood of the first film so hope i won't get disappointed and that it turns out to be at least something interesting.

Jackie
I don't really like biopics, for me they're the most boring thing, but Pablo Larraín has caught my attention with this Jackie Kennedy film. For a starter, her life is something that interests me and by the looks of the trailer it looks amazing. Also, Natalie Portman seems to deliver one hell of a performance so i can't wait.

It's Only the End of the World
I adored 'Mommy' by Xavier Dolan so this new film has my full attention after that. Dolan seems to have created another moving story about family combining it again with humor and sadness and he did so well with his previous feature that i already want to watch this new one as soon as possible.

The rest after the cut!

Gia Coppola and Xavier Dolan for Assistant Magazine

I've just discovered this marvellous photoshoot with directors Xavier Dolan and Gia Coppola and i instantly loved it, so i had to post it here even though it's from last year. Both young filmmakers were photographed by Shayne Laverdiere for the Spring/Summer 2015 coverstory of Assistant magazine and the result is quite fantastic and kinda gives me 'Somewhere' vibes.

In the article they're described as The New Hollywood after their respective success with Dolan's 'Mommy' - which still puts me goose bumps, and Coppola's directorial debut with 'Palo Alto', a very nice first project with a very personal signature, both standing out with their own style.

So, enjoy this really cool and interesting shoot with these two very great and interesting directors. I really adored these photos.

'Mommy' (2014)

(No Spoilers)
Xavier Dolan is the director of the moment, if you haven't heard of him, i'm sorry but you're completely out of the loop. Anyway, after the amount of good reviews and prestigious awards it has received, i was really looking forward to watch 'Mommy' and i was not disappointed. Sure, when i first finished it, i was like expecting a lot of more with all the hype, but images and especially music moments from the movie kept coming back to my head and i adore that.

The film is full of scenes that have a whole lot of meaning because of the amazing and tastefulness use of the music, Dolan even makes you like a Celine Dion song! And as i love music moments in scenes so much, i had to talk about them here. Even a well-known song like 'Wonderwall' by Oasis sounds more powerful than ever. Also, the three scenes i'm going to post are amazing examples of the feeling This is happiness that i also adore to see so much in movies, even re-watching them i get goose bumps because Dolan creates moments that touch you to the core. This is what the director says about those music moments:

I wanted to have music that made sense for the characters, emotionally speaking. It’s music that would elicit emotion without trying too hard. The music all comes from this mix-tape that’s been given by the father. Steve’s father made a mix-tape based on whatever songs they heard while driving on a road trip in California. The three of them went on this road trip before he died and he made a mix-tape with all the songs from that road trip. That’s what Die explains in that Celine Dion scene. That’s where the songs come from. It’s a way to use music that’s diagetic. It’s not me playing music on the film. It’s music playing in the film. The characters are in sole control of that soundtrack. 

As youtube sucks and has deactivated the embed option on some of the scenes, i'm adding just the links, even though 'Colourblind' by Counting Crows is still unlocked, so you can watch them below. These doesn't contain spoilers and give you a great taste of the movie, so be sure to watch them and see the movie, because it's really something else.

Intimate Celebrity Portraits at the Cannes Film Festival.

I'm so behind on so many things with the blog it's not even funny but there's always time to catch up. Like these amazing and intimate portraits taken by Benoit Peverelli of some actors and directors during the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. I always like behind the scenes photos the best and the Swiss photographer really captures than hidden glamour real stars have even when no one's watching, or at least it looks like so.

There are some more at the source with Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska or Amber Heard but below i posted the ones that really have caught my attention and were kinda intriguing. Behind the scenes of glamour at the Cannes Film Festival.
