Call My Agent Bollywood (2021)
The Origin of Evil review – classy comedy-thriller with shades of Succession and Knives Out
Call My Agent Bollywood (2021)
Call My Agent’s Laure Calamy stars as a scheming factory worker with designs on a mega-rich fortune in this classy feast of backstabbing, double cross and venal greed

Succession meets Knives Out in this comedy-thriller directed by Sébastien Marnier in what is an extremely French comic style: tongue-in-cheek, a little frothy, tiptoeing close to camp. It stars Call My Agent’s brilliant Laure Calamy as a scheming factory worker who wheedles her way into a dysfunctional mega-rich family. Calamy is often cast as likable, relatable women but here she does a very convincing Isabelle Huppert (circa her Claude Chabrol years); there’s something a bit off about her character from the start, possibly even unhinged.

Calamy is Stéphane – at least that’s what she calls herself. Bored of her job on the production line at a fish factory, and broke, out of the blue she calls her father, a self-made hotel and restaurant tycoon.

Carla Bruni, Charlotte Rampling Denounce ‘Lynching’ of Gerard Depardieu
Image
Nearly 60 actors and public figures, including British actress Charlotte Rampling and former French first lady Carla Bruni, have signed an open letter claiming that French actor Gerard Depardieu is the victim of a “torrent of hatred.”

Depardieu, who was previously charged with rape in 2021, is currently facing a new sexual assault allegation after a French actress, Hélène Darras, filed a police complaint claiming he groped her in 2007. Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron defended the actor in an interview, saying he “makes France proud.”

The letter, published in French newspaper Le Figaro on Christmas Day,...

‘The Origin of Evil’ Review: An Enticing French Drama of Family Wealth, Featuring a New-Style Femme Fatale
Image
A femme fatale is in the business of fooling people, though we’ve seen enough of these characters to be overly familiar with their tricks. Maybe that’s why, in 2023, the most effective femme fatale is one who can fool the audience. Take Stéphane (Laure Calamy), the desperate young woman at the center of the delectable French family thriller “The Origin of Evil.” The film’s rather abstract title could refer to several things, but the most accurate is probably the cliché that first leaps to mind: Money is the root of all evil. For money — what it can and cannot do, and what people will do to get it — is the film’s theme, and the toxic life force that courses through it.

When we meet Stéphane, she’s in the women’s locker room of the fish plant she works at on an assembly line; her job consists...

‘The Origin of Evil’ Is a Sophisticated, Hitchcockian Grifter Tale with a Great Laure Calamy Performance
Image
Self-destructive characters who grift and deceive are ever the province of French filmmakers, from Claude Chabrol to “Tell No One” director Guillaume Canet. In Sébastien Marnier’s sinister and sly domestic thriller “The Origin of Evil,” Laure Calamy plays a woman whose lies can’t stop falling out of her mouth. Calamy is one of the MVPs of the French show business satire “Call My Agent!,” in which she plays a flustered assistant at a fictional talent agency run by ridiculous people. In “The Origin of Evil,” Calamy gives an unsettling performance as Stéphane, a grifter crawling out of a busted relationship and a toxic job at a cannery and into the life of a wealthy man, Serge, played by Jacques Weber. She contacts him out of the blue and insists she’s his long-lost daughter, and the two form a parasitic relationship that recalls the uneasy power dynamics of...

The Origin Of Evil Review: A Twisted Comedy Thriller You Need to See
Image
A wealthy patriarch in a lavish seaside villa. A gaudy wife. His suspicious daughter and her angsty teenage daughter. An intimidating maid. It all may be too much to bear for modest Stéphane (Laure Calamy of Call My Agent). But maybe not. After decades of separation, she’s tracked down her long-lost and aging father and desperately wants in. He’s built a family, after all. An incredibly dysfunctional one at that, but a family nonetheless. It’s something Stéphane has longed for her entire life. Why not have a go of it? And so it goes in director Sébastien Marnier’s thrilling dark French comedy, The Origin of Evil.

Don’t be fooled by the title, which suggests a supernatural demon emerging out of the ethers in some creepy horror movie. This is not that kind of film. Although it is, if you look at the movie metaphorically. The...

Will ‘Stop Making Sense’ Draw A24’s Young Fans To A Great, 40-Year-Old Concert Film? – Specialty Preview
Image
Stop Making Sense, the remastered concert film that sowed delight at TIFF, opens on 300 Imax screens in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Ireland. Locations Stateside number 260 ahead of a nationwide release next week.

The 1984 Talking Heads extravaganza from Jonathan Demme is presented in its new iteration by A24 — meaning the decades-old movie can now extend its reach to a new, younger audience that is A24’s core fan base. Opening numbers are hard to gauge since there aren’t many comps but there are parties, discos, stars and sellouts with film looking at about $1.5 million, including Thursday previews.

A 40th anniversary large-format special premiere screening at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this month had people dancing in the aisles and broke Imax records. It was the company’s highest grossing live event, earning $640.8k and selling out 25 screens across 165 Imax locations in North America and the BFI Imax in London.

The Origin of Evil Clip Splits Up a Dysfunctional Family in New Comedy-Thriller
Image
There have always been richly rewarding films that critique the wealthy and nuclear family politics, but the past decade has seen this specific type of film explode in popularity and acclaim. From the Oscar-winning Parasite to the Palme d'Or-winning Triangle of Sadness, some of the most critically revered movies of recent years have skewered the wealthy elite. This has crossed over into the mainstream as well, with popular flicks like The Menu and Bodies Bodies Bodies joining the pedigree of great satires against the rich. One of the latest additions to this glorious trend is the new comedic thriller from France, The Origin of Evil, and we have an exclusive clip you can watch below. In it, you see the economic and class tensions within a family that's literally split apart.

‘The Origin of Evil’ Trailer: Laure Calamy Leads ‘Knives Out’-Inspired Satire
Image
A long-lost daughter or an impostor looking for a cash-grab?

Laure Calamy stars as an elusive family member in Sebastien Marnier’s satirical thriller “The Origin of Evil,” where she reconnects with her alleged father as he nears his deathbed. “The Origin of Evil” premiered at the 2022 Venice Film Festival, and went on to screen at TIFF, BFI, and Frameline47, where it won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature.

The official synopsis reads: When Stéphane (Calamy) gets in touch with wealthy Serge (Jacques Weber), announcing that she is his long-abandoned daughter, his immediate family are none too thrilled. As Stéphane embarks on an extended visit in hopes of getting to know Serge, she also becomes entangled with the hostile women who share a tense existence in his beautifully appointed mansion by the sea: the restaurateur’s wife (Dominique Blanc), his other daughter (Doria Tillier), a rebellious granddaughter (Céleste Brunnquell), and a strangely off-putting housemaid,...

Venice Review: Laure Calamy In Sebastien Marnier’s ‘The Origin Of Evil’
Image
Can a rich man trust anyone? Bien sûr que non. But then again, should a rich man be trusted by anyone else? Again, non. Never mind that everyone in Sebastien Marnier’s Gallic fable The Origin of Evil claims either the best of motives or victim status; you shouldn’t believe any of them. And oui, you’re going to have to trust me on this.

Billed as a thriller, the Venice Film Festival Horizons Extra entry is more of a murderous romp that has something of the spirit of Knives Out, although it doesn’t hit its plot points with anything like that film’s whip-smartness.

Sébastian Marnier Talks Casting ‘Call My Agent!’ Star Laure Calamy In Twisted Rags-To-Riches Thriller ‘Origin Of Evil’ – Venice Q&a + Clip
Image
Sébastian Marnier’s psychological thriller Origin of Evil, starring Call My Agent! actress Laure Calamy as a factory worker who discovers the father she never knew is a wealthy businessman, opens Venice’s Horizons Extra sidebar on Thursday.

Embarrassed by her humble background when she meets her father and stepmother and sister in their luxury Mediterranean mansion, Calamy’s character pretends she is an entrepreneur on the verge of success. But nothing is as it seems and the lies begin to pile up.

Calamy was in Venice last year in Horizons title A Plein Temps for which she won the best actress award for her performance as a single mother trying to get to a job interview during a transport strike. Marnier was previously at Venice with the chilling drama School’s Out, starring Laurent Lafitte as a teacher in charge of a class of disturbed teenagers who witnessed his predecessor commit suicide.

Outlander‘s Claire Beauchamp Fraser goes by many names: “Sassenach,” “Lady Broch Tuarach” and “madonna” are a few favorites. But Stanley Weber, who plays the villainous Le Comte Saint Germain in Starz’s historical drama, has another to add to the list:

“She is ‘the fuel of his rage,'” he tells TVLine in advance of this week’s episode, which finds the French aristocrat having several highly charged run-ins with the Frasers. “Claire and Jamie help to enrage him and infuriate him. They push him, definitely.”

Death in Sarajevo review – Danis Tanovic's multi-levelled satire on Europe's decrepit glory
Thugs in the basement, politicos in the penthouse and an anarchist on the roof – Tanovic fills Hotel Europa checks in Bosnia-Herzegovina’s history with death and disaster in this damning allegory

It’s the 100th anniversary of the death of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and everyone at the Hotel Europa – from the strippers in the basement to the EU emissary in the penthouse – is readying themselves for a ruckus. The flags have been unfurled, the Olympic cutlery has been set, but down in the laundry unrest is bubbling. The staff haven’t been paid for two months. Meanwhile, up on the roof, Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip (Muhamed Hadzovic) has infiltrated a live TV broadcast and is making his love of his namesake clear. There’s anarchy in the air and revolutionary foment in the foundations. What chance do hotel manager Omer (Izudin Bajrovic) and his deputy Lamija (Snezana Markovic) have...

[Berlin Review] Death in Sarajevo
It’s not long into Death in Sarajevo, Bosnian writer-director Danis Tanović’s seventh feature, before it becomes clear we’re navigating allegorical territory. On the roof of the large Sarajevo hotel where the entire film takes place, a reporter and a historian discuss the legacy of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination on the occasion of its centenary. Simultaneously, the hotel’s manager is trying to prevent his workers from striking, which would hammer the final nail into the debt-ridden company’s coffin. The impending arrival of a large EU delegation, all staying at the hotel, could be its salvation, so the gangsters who run the strip club in the basement are hired to intimidate strikers. All the while, the EU’s celebrity keynote speaker, a Frenchman, is locked up in the presidential suite, rehearsing a pontificating speech about the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its essential place within Europe.

Bob Geldof To Make Acting Return In Role Inspired by a French Philosopher
For younger readers, Bob Geldof is the man whose daughter is draped across faux-chastising articles in the Daily Mail and various other of Britain’s wealth of morally “flexible” tabloid publications and, occasionally, painful and abortive television programmes. If you are nearing adulthood- at least legally- then you will be aware that Geldof organised a pop concert in which poverty was made history, somewhere during the second chorus of “Yellow” by Coldplay. If you are depressingly old (i.e. over thirty) then you will be primarily cognisant of Geldof through his first charity concert, Live Aid, swearing at the British public and, possibly, his now almost forgotten punk band, The Boomtown Rats.

But in between ushering the planet to the utopia in which we now all find ourselves and having embarrassing offspring, Geldof had a quieter- and admittedly brief- dual strand as an artist on the silver screen. In addition to several cameos as himself,...

Geldof, musician and activist, will star as French intellectual Bernard-Henri Levy, or should we say – a character closely based on Levy, one of France’s most famous public intellectuals. Just in case you’re wondering what’s so special about Bernard-Henri Levy, we’re here to answer that question.
