Une belle fin

The Artwork That Made Aaron Taylor-Johnson Fall For His Wife Sam Before They Could Even Meet
Image
Some people meet on dating apps. Others meet through friends. Aaron Taylor-Johnson met his wife through… a decaying fruit bowl and a biro pen. No, we’re not hallucinating; this is an actual love story, not a surrealist short story or an abandoned Wes Anderson script. It’s the fact that someone fell in love with a woman 23 years older before he even knew her name.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, now 35, married Sam Taylor-Johnson, now 58, after meeting on Nowhere Boy in 2009. But their connection started earlier, invisibly, like a premonition framed in fruit and mold. Is it odd? Yes. Is it enviable? Strangely, also yes. What began as a profound, almost psychic connection to a piece of art, Still Life, ended in a marriage built not on spectacle but on synchronicity.

Jia Zhangke and the Chinese Century
Image
Caught by the Tides.Jia Zhangke grew up in Fenyang, where the north winds blew cold fronts from Inner Mongolia over the medieval walls. Fenyang is in Shanxi province, China’s coal country, one of the nation’s most polluted regions; when Jia was a child, most of the buildings dated to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and you could bike across town in ten minutes and find yourself in the countryside. His father was a teacher, and his mother worked at the state store that sold liquor and cigarettes; in the 1970s, when food was still rationed by family size, they would send their children to school on a meager breakfast of cornmeal buns. The family all slept in the same bed, and Jia would play in the neighborhood courtyards, surrounded by stone walls. In Walter Salles’s documentary portrait Jia Zhangke, A Guy from Fenyang (2014), Jia returns to...

‘Caught by the Tides’ Is a Masterpiece 20 Years in the Making
Image
In the early months of 2003, a film that had been building buzz on the festival circuit the year before began to make its way to American arthouses. A story of twentysomethings caught up in petty crime and the punishment of perpetual restlessness — and blessed with the English title Unknown Pleasures — it was the fourth feature from writer-director Jia Zhangke. The movie sprinkled flecks of genre flicks into a narrative rendered with a no-frills realist aesthetic; the fact that Jia shot it using early 2000s digital video made you feel like...

‘Caught by the Tides’ Review: Jia Zhang-ke’s Drifting Portrait of Love Across Time Will Delight Fans and Mystify Newcomers
Image
Editor’s Note: This review was originally published during the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Sideshow and Janus Films release “Caught by the Tides” in select theaters Friday, May 9, 2025.

A searching and scattershot portrait of displacement that’s as likely to resonate with Jia Zhang-ke devotees as it is to mystify those who are new to his work, “Caught by the Tides” finds the Chinese auteur returning the most pivotal characters and locations that have defined his movies over the last two decades. Then again, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he never left them.

Tracing the faintest contours of a scripted love story around the scaffolding of some documentary footage that Jia has collected over the course of 22 years, this elusive chimera of a film strains to literalize the delicate relationship between time and memory — a theme that has become increasingly central to the director’s work since...

Interview: Jia Zhang-ke on Reinventing His Cinematic Language in ‘Caught by the Tides’
Image
A quarter of the way through the 21st century, filmmaker Jia Zhang-ke has emerged as the foremost cinematic chronicler of contemporary China. His latest film, Caught by the Tides, ought to silence any doubts to the contrary. In a miraculous medley spanning over two decades of his country’s history, Jia excavates hidden stories within his past filmography while simultaneously casting his glance toward the future.

While it’s not necessary to know the background on the origins of Caught by the Tides to understand it, the context of its creation can only help enrich the experience. Like many during the pandemic, Jia looked inward at his own material as the outside world remained closed. Among footage used and unseen from his films like Unknown Pleasures, Still Life, and Ash Is Purest White, a larger story began to emerge on both a micro and macro scale. Once lockdowns lifted, he...

Being Maria (Jessica Palud)

Last Tango in Paris was both a breakout role and turning point in the life and career of Maria Schneider––a traumatic filming experience that inspired her to become an advocate for women in the film industry, and the often redundant depictions of female characters in cinema. Her steadfastness and increasing ability to not suffer fools gladly after her experiences with Bernardo Bertolucci and Marlon Brando saw her walk out on several major directors midway through shooting, earning her a reputation for being difficult, frustrations largely ignored as this behavior coincided with her own battles with mental health and drug addiction, both of which were weaponized as reasons to not hire her. Any writing on Schneider characterizes her...

We’ve always loved setting trends at The Film Stage and are accordingly chuffed that, nine months after we screened a 35mm print at the Roxy, Roman Polanski’s late-career triumph The Ghost Writer comes to the Criterion Channel in next month’s Coastal Thrillers, a series that does what it says on the tin: The Lady from Shanghai, Key Largo, The Long Goodbye, The Fog, and the other best film of 2010, Scorsese’s Shutter Island. It pairs well with Noir and the Blacklist featuring films by Joseph Losey, Fritz Lang, Jules Dassin, and so on. Retrospectives are held for Terry Southern, Kathryn Bigelow, Jem Cohen, and (just in time for Caught By the Tides) Jia Zhangke, while Spike Lee gets his own Adventures In Moviegoing.

Film Review: 24 City (2008) by Jia Zhang-ke
Image
Jia Zhang-ke‘s early films consistently blended fiction with a documentary-like approach, as seen in movies like “Platform” and “Still Life”. However, in “24 City“, Jia took this approach a step further by directly combining documentary footage with fiction. The movie primarily consists of five real and four fictional interviews with people connected to Factory 420, a facility that once produced war equipment. In the present-day setting of the story, the factory is being demolished to make way for the titular redevelopment project.

Through interviews with workers, managers, specialists, and security personnel, Jia Zhang-ke traces the history of the factory, from its construction by former members of Factory 111 to its eventual demolition. Testimonies about the forced relocation of workers set the tone for the film. The community that formed around the factory, including a school and a cinema, are thoroughly explored, with the...

‘Gulliver’s Travels’ Gets Gigantic New TV Adaptation From ‘Full Monty’ Producer
Image
Jonathan Swift’s classic satirical novel Gulliver’s Travels is getting a fresh, ambitious retelling for the small screen, with Italian filmmakerUberto Pasoliniattached as the showrunner. The series aims to provide a fun, feel-good vibe to the 18th-century tale, whilst keeping its sharp social commentary. Pasolini, a former investment banker cum director best known for his work on the 2013 drama Still Life and the 1997 hit The Full Monty (as producer), appears to be a fitting choice to steer the revival of Gulliver’s Travels.

Published in 1726, Gulliver’s Travels follows the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, an intrepid voyager who encounters various societies, including the diminutive Lilliputians, the giant Brobdingnagians, the scientifically-obsessed Laputans, and the noble yet detached Houyhnhnms. A classic part of English literature, the four-part book combines adventure with savage satire, mocking English customs and the politics of the day.

British writer William Ivory has been tapped to pen the screenplay for the six-episode project.

Jia Zhang-ke Reflects on Independent Filmmaking, Co-Productions, and Cinema’s Role in Society
Jia Zhang-ke in A Touch of Sin (2013)
Renowned Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhang-ke held a masterclass during Fica Vesoul, offering insights into his journey, the evolution of independent cinema in China, and the socio-political role of filmmaking. Known for capturing the realities of contemporary China, Jia spoke candidly about his early influences, creative challenges, and his vision for the future of cinema.

From VHS Tapes to Independent Filmmaking

Jia’s passion for cinema began in his school years, watching films in small VHS cabins outside the official circuit. This early exposure to Hong Kong and Taiwanese cinema, including King Hu, Johnny To, and Ann Hui, shaped his cinematic sensibilities. However, his true awakening came in 1991 when he watched Chen Kaige‘s “Yellow Earth“, a film that revealed to him how cinema could express social reality beyond traditional storytelling.

His first feature, “Xiao Wu”, was made without script approval or official authorization—a defining moment in his commitment to independent filmmaking.

Documentary Review: Dong (2006) by Jia Zhang-ke
Image
Filmed in HD digital video, “Dong” is a documentary about artist and actor Liu Xiaodong, who invited Jia Zhang-ke to film him as he painted two groups of subjects: laborers near the Three Gorges Dam and later, sex workers in Bangkok. “Still Life” was shot simultaneously, sharing the same setting and, in some instances, even the same shots. Han Sanming, one of “Still Life”‘s leads, also appears (in ‘character’) within “Dong”, along with other figures from that film, further emphasizing the connection between the two works.

Dong is screening at Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinemas

Expectedly, the documentary is split into two parts, each set in one of the aforementioned locations. The first takes place in the Three Gorges Region in 2005, documenting Liu Xiaodong’s process as he creates “Hot Bed”, a painting depicting 11 dam workers, most of whom are stripped to the waist (to say the least).

‘Living The Land’ Review: Huo Meng’s Rural Early-’90s Drama Shows A Family On The Cusp Of Change – Berlin Film Festival
Image
A farming family in rural China gets a rich, warm portrait in Huo Meng’s picturesque second feature Living the Land, set in the early 1990s in a country on the cusp of vast change. Rather than a static tribute to the countryside, Huo’s lovely roving eye for composition and gentle hand with drama trace the challenges and enduring bonds among several hard-working generations of farmers.

The parents of sweet 10-year-old Chuang (Wang Shang) left him at birth with their clan (the Li’s) in order to seek jobs south in Shenzhen. The village will undergo shifts of its own, but an early sequence of burial and mourning rituals around their grandparents underlines the traditions that still hold sway, with public laments and white mourning hats. There’s an omnipresent drive to keep tending to the wheat and cotton harvests that are the Li livelihood, requiring days and nights of labor and attention.

CathayPlay Film Review: Brick (2019) by Ding Wenjian

The concept of urban development in China has been repeatedly explored in the mainland’s arthouse cinema, with the impact it had on the people who see their houses demolished and new neighbors erected, posing a rather intriguing theme, as we have seen in movies like Jia Zhang-ke “Still Life” for example. Ding Wenjian, himself an architect, presents his take on the subject through a story that looks distinctly personal.

'The Return' Review - Ralph Fiennes Strikes an Imposing Figure in Timeless Epic
Image
There have been plenty of films that have mined the stories of Odysseus, often concentrating on the more iconic adventures of his youth, his travails in Troy, and other elements considered worthy for such a mythologically resonant heroic figure. What sets The Return apart, as the title suggests, is that it strips the man from the earlier exploits, crafting a deeply humanist, and in turn deeply effective, portrait of a man in the final chapters of the grand story of his life. Directed by Uberto Pasolini (Still Life), the majority of the film rests upon the shoulders of two key characters. We first see a man stripped of all his glory, literally. Naked on a beach, washed to shore and bleeding from various contusions, he appears to be at death’s door lying there baking in the sun. He’s soon rescued by a local slave farmer who helps bring him back to health,...

That film comes courtesy of All Quiet On The Western Front's Edward Berger and lands in UK cinemas on the 29th of November. Fiennes takes the lead in a very starry ensemble.

If that’s not enough Ralph Fiennes looking intense and careworn for you then fear not, because December will bring you more in The Return. It’s a new take on Homer’s Odyssey, the ancient Greek epic poem that is one of the oldest works of literature in the world.

Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes Get Tearful Speaking About Reuniting for Uberto Pasolini’s Homer Epic ‘The Return’: ‘It Was Destiny’

Returning to Greece with the historical drama “The Return” proved an emotional affair for Juliette Binoche, Ralph Fiennes and director-producer Uberto Pasolini. “Meeting this dream, this need inside Uberto and his passion for the story… We were really moved,” said Binoche before bursting into tears alongside her co-star and director at the film’s press conference at the Thessaloniki Film Festival.

“It was moving because that is what you wish for as an actor,” continued Binoche with a quavering voice, while a visibly teary-eyed Pasolini sat alongside her. “We know how difficult it is [to get a film made]. When we had [Pasolini] go home with the hard drives he could work with and complete this wish, it felt like we were okay. We’re okay.”

Jia Zhang-Ke on Having “One Foot in the Past and One Foot in the Future” With New Film ‘Caught by the Tides’

“Sorry… Forget this is New York, not Beijing,” laughed Jia Zhang-Ke, a titan of Chinese cinema’s post-1990 “Sixth Generation” of directors, to a packed house inside Alice Tully Hall for the New York Film Festival on Tuesday.

In a Q&a after the U.S. premiere of his latest film, Caught by the Tides, Jia’s English translator could barely keep up as he effusively spoke about the 23-year journey to bring his new project to the big screen. While many in the audience understood the director’s native Mandarin, his translator transcribed as quickly as possible for the English speakers. One thing that needed no translation was Jia’s passion for providing a world view on contemporary China through a cinematic lens.

‘Caught by the Tides’ Director Jia Zhangke Wants to Do ‘a Film About AI’

Premiering at Cannes earlier this year, Chinese auteur Jia Zhangke’s “Caught by the Tides” is another entry in the filmmaker’s indie career that serves to mystify viewers as much as it seeks out answers to the questions it asks. Utilizing documentary footage Zhangke has collected throughout his career, as well as characters he’s explored in previous films, “Caught by the Tides” capitalizes on the themes of time and memory the writer/director has been exploring since his 2006 Golden Lion-winning drama “Still Life.” As reported on by Variety, speaking at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, Zhangke shared that he plans to continue studying these concepts and finding ways to incorporate them on screen, both in a historical context and a futuristic sense.

“I have so much interest in the current China that I’m sure to make other films on the subject,” said Zhangke of planning his next projects.

‘Caught by the Tides’ Review: Jia Zhang-ke’s Wily Remembrance of Things Past
Image
Jia Zhang-ke’s Caught by the Tides attests to the fact that making art under the most adverse conditions can prove to be serendipitous. If shooting a film from scratch wasn’t feasible under China’s restrictive Covid lockdowns, Jia viewed the situation as a formal constraint, in the same way a poet might approach the rules of a sestina. Turning to his existing body of work, he recycled earlier material, editing together unused footage with what could be shot under the circumstances. The result is a bricolage of documentary, minimalist drama, and experimental remake. As Jia’s filmography is inseparable from the career of his spouse and longtime collaborator, actress Zhao Tao, the film also operates as a dual retrospective.

In execution, Jia doesn’t blend genres so homogenously as to obscure their distinctions. He prefers to shift the balance over the course of Caught by the Tides, allowing...

Jia also told Deadline that he is set to begin production on his next film in October or November this year, which will be a “road, travelogue film” following a “female character who will travel from a place that is extremely cold, to a place that is extremely warm.”

Jia won Venice’s Golden Lion for Still Life in 2006 and Best Screenplay in Cannes for A Touch of Sin in 2013.

Anyone familiar with the filmography of Jia Zhangke will easily recognize “Caught by the Tides” as one of the celebrated director’s features. Such familiarity may well create interest and pleasure at seeing Jia revisit the characters, locales and subjects that made him famous. But this atmospheric film, in which mood and visuals prevail over plot, might also disorient and bemuse viewers who are not already intimate with his work.

The film has been described as a career retrospective for the director, and with good reason. Stuck at home during the Covid 19 pandemic, Jia decided to review the enormous amount of footage he had shot since 2001. The images could be documentary-style footage capturing slices of life that had caught Jia’s ever-alert attention: singing crowds, swirling dancers, young people going to their favorite places, in Datong, Zhuhai, or many other places across China.

‘Mountains’ Review: Monica Sorelle’s Warm, Intimate Look at a Disappearing Community
Image
Monica Sorelle’s Mountains is a film about work that nonetheless champions leisure. As Esperance (Sheila Anozier) suggests to her husband Xavier (Atibon Nazaire), “If work was a good thing, the rich would have taken it for themselves.” Mountains interprets leisure not so much as the opposite of work or struggle, but a stance that can and should suffuse each moment of life, not discounting those we sell to make a living.

Xavier and Esperance are Haitian immigrants living with their adult son, Junior (Chris Renoir), in Miami’s rapidly gentrifying Little Haiti neighborhood. Whether recompensed or not, each has their work: Xavier is a demolition worker, Esperance a crossing guard and dressmaker, and Junior, to the consternation of his parents, aspires to be stand-up comedian. An incident of on-the-job racism, complicated in that it involves a Cuban immigrant (Yaniel Castillo) tussling with Xavier’s Black American coworker (Roscoè B. Thické III...

Cannes Dispatch: Ashes of Time
Image
Illustrations by Maddie Fischer.Find all of our Cannes 2024 coverage here.Those fearing cinema’s obsolescence in the face of more popular media—an anxiety that now seems an existential characteristic of the art—will be glad to find in Cannes the obligatory films that court relevance and awards by centering on an Important Topic. These are the loud films, which anticipate being pounced upon with flash-pan hot takes. But other movies at the festival are playing a longer and subtler game. They’re not necessarily quiet—in fact, one is a knockabout martial-arts film—but what they do, they do with deceptive ease, without any pandering or grandstanding. Their ambition creeps up on you. Their subjects are inextricable from their forms; rather than a plug-and-play insertion of topic into narrative, there appears only this way of telling such a story. The stories themselves, whether told by classical or more radical means,...

‘Caught by the Tides’ Review: Jia Zhangke Weaves a Shimmering New Tapestry from Threads of His Previous Films
Image
The Chinese title of Jia Zhangke’s mesmerizing “Caught by the Tides,” a masterfully poetic and pioneering fusion of the old and the new, can be translated in several ways. Jia himself suggests “The Drifting Generation,” but it can also mean “The Romantic Generation” with the etymology of “romantic” lying in the Chinese words for wind and current. The restless motion of the natural world is certainly captured in the English title’s reference to an ocean’s ebb and flow. But what that version cannot adequately convey is the airiness and the yearning that Jia whips in to “Caught by the Tides” — quite miraculously considering he is largely working with repurposed footage from across the last 23 years of his justly celebrated career.

Loosely speaking a love story, “Tides” is also perhaps the most definitive national portrait that Jia, modern China’s foremost cinematic chronicler, has ever delivered. This is...

‘Nowhere Special’ Director Uberto Pasolini On James Norton’s Star Turn In Father-Son Drama – Specialty Box Office
Image
Uberto Pasolini, who wrote and directed the James Norton-starring Nowhere Special that opened this weekend, says, rightfully, the film’s power emanates from the tangible bond you feel between father and son. Norton – the BAFTA-nominated British actor (Bob Marley: One Love, Little Women, Happy Valley) – is John a 35-year old window washer and single father to four-year old Michael (BIFA-nominated Daniel Lamot). John has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and is on a quest to place his son in a loving home.

Norton “understood that the film lived or died — would have lived or died — on the relationship and on the connection between the two. And so he came over to Belfast before we started shooting and spent an enormous amount of time with the family, with the boy himself. Sitting down on the floor of Daniel’s room and playing with his toys and going out for chicken nuggets,...

‘Nowhere Special’ Review: Understated Terminal Illness Drama Earns Your Tears
Image
Uberto Pasolini’s “Nowhere Special” is delicately tinted by profound shades of imminent grief. As a 35-year-old, terminally ill single father in Northern Ireland, John (a quietly powerful James Norton) grieves his impending demise and the inevitable fact that he will vacate his four-year-old son Michael’s (Daniel Lamont) life permanently and prematurely. A Belfast window washer, John sees the reflections of his grief everywhere as he scrubs and shines surface after surface. In one scene, it’s the headstones on display in the window of a funeral parlor. In another, it’s a dad happily picking up his baby inside a restaurant. That’s just John’s every day on the other side of a glass facade, with stark glimpses into what’s coming and what he will soon lose.

Meanwhile, his often silent and always observant toddler Michael deals with his own share of grief, at an age...

Jia Zhangke on Experimenting With AI for Cannes Entry ‘Caught by the Tides,’ Respecting the Audience

Sporting a warm smile and a pair of sunglasses – “Sorry, I’ve been busy editing and my eyes hurt,” he explained – one of China’s leading indie directors Jia Zhangke, whose upcoming film “Caught by the Tides” will be vying for the Palme d’or in Cannes next month, was guest of honor at the 55th edition of Swiss doc festival Visions du Réel this week.

Finished just in time for submission to Cannes, the film features his wife Zhao Tao, his muse over the last two decades, and tells the story of a couple spanning 20 years. (Jia previously spoke with Variety about the film in February when it still went under the working title “We Shall Be All.”)

Explaining how the pandemic gave him the opportunity to review his footage all the way back to 2001, he described his new film as “a concentration of 20 years’ experience,” which blends footage...

Joanne Froggatt and Eddie Marsan in Une belle fin (2013)
Still Life - Andrew Robertson - 18971
Joanne Froggatt and Eddie Marsan in Une belle fin (2013)
Six 8mm shorts by Bill Douglas were shown at the opening Gala of 2024's Glasgow Short Film Festival. Many had not been seen since the late 1960s when they were made, though clips from some do appear in Bill Douglas: My Best Friend.

Though Bill Douglas would argue that Come Dancing was his first 'proper' film there's so much of his later work in Still Life that the counter might need set back. Based on a story of Peter Jewell's about a visit to the house of a woman that died intestate, this is an abstract, experimental piece, telling story through objects and allusion. There are some moments of motion among its tableaux vivant but a sequence of photographs is a masterclass in montage, not just editorially but in composition. Never did a doily indicate such doom, nor the vain hope of a banner on a Coronation mug convey such gloom.

New to Streaming: Avatar: The Way of Water, Rye Lane, Creed III, Smoking Causes Coughing & More

Each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.

Avatar: The Way of Water (James Cameron)

James Cameron’s long-awaited sequel finally arrived. If not to just wax poetic on the photo-realistic Na’vi and the water they inhabit, one has to admire the megalomaniac yet compassionate director’s knack for a satisfying narrative. Culminating in a perfectly constructed final act which shifts from about four different kinds of action sequence, constantly escalating the stakes and managing to conclude with a lovely, Miyazaki-like grace note… well, you can’t help but admire a blockbuster that has the whole package. – Ethan V.

Where to Stream: VOD

Creed III (Michael B. Jordan)

Just to get it out of the way: the first Creed is the best Rocky film. They share the same formula,...
