The post 22 July Movie Review appeared first on Shockya.com.

Showcasing just three movies, today’s Netflix panel was a fascinating insight into the wide-ranging tastes of a company fast changing the landscape of the film industry.

First up was the Coen brothers’ portmanteau western, The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs, which was represented by an all-actor line-up comprising Zoe Kazan, Bill Heck, Harry Melling and Tim Blake Nelson, who plays the titular Buster Scruggs himself.

Talking to Deadline’s Nancy Tartaglione, Blake Nelson revealed that the project had been in gestation for a very long time, and that he was the first actor approached. “When I was given the script, [my story] was the only one that had been written,” he said. “I read the rest of them after they were written, which was 15 years later, and I was certainly excited to be a part of it because the other scripts were just as fantastic as the one I was doing.”

While most audience members know Paul Greengrass best as the director of the two best regarded Jason Bourne movies, that’s not where his true specialty resides. He’s far more at home crafting hard hitting docudramas. Bloody Sunday was his calling card film, while United 93 remains his finest hour. It’s in that vein that his latest work firmly sits. 22 July not only marks Greengrass’ return to this style of movie making, it also represents his first foray into putting something out on Netflix. A long and somber true story like this may not be your first assumption for a Netflix release, but the quality here should draw you in. If you don’t know what 22 July stands for, it represents the day that Norway suffered the worst terrorist attack in that country’s history. Taking place on July 22nd back in 2011, extreme right wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik...

With awards season kicking into gear off the back of the fall festivals, Deadline’s international Contenders events kick off next month in London with a star-packed lineup and a shiny new venue.

Over the course of the day, set for Saturday, October 13, we’ll welcome Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Letitia Wright, Mahershala Ali and more to our stage, presenting clips and discussing their latest projects in front of a packed house of voters. And it’s a mark of how essential The Contenders has become on the long road to Oscar that this year’s London event is set to be bigger and better than the last.

After a hearty breakfast, sponsored by Amazon Studios, our 12-studio, 21-film day kicks off with Universal, which will bring Viggo Mortensen, Ali and writer-director Peter Farrelly to discuss Tiff Audience Award winner Green Book. And producer Janet Healy and art director Colin Stimpson...

Launching on Netflix on Wednesday, October 10 is 22 July. Here’s your first look at the trailer.

After one film this year about the 2011 Norway attacks, in which right-wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 in the worst attack in the country since the Second World War, I’m not sure we need another.

Joachim Trier’s Louder than Bombs [pictured] starring Jesse Eisenberg and Gabriel Byrne won four Amanda awards at the 44th Norwegian Film Festival (Aug 20-16), including Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Editing.

In 2015, the film was the first Norwegian feature to play in competition at Cannes for 36 years.

Marking the first English language film made by Trier, Louder Than Bombs follows a father and his two sons who are made to come to terms with the death of their mother, a notable war photographer.
