Who Will Be Moving From Music Biopics to Del Toro’s The Hobbit?

Posted on Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 at 7:46 pm by: Brendon Connelly

Two of the only three members of The Hobbit’s cast that I think we can so far bank on (the third being Ian McKellen) are set to make appearances in two separate music biopics before hand.

Firstly, Andy Serkis is to play Ian Dury in a film of the Blockhead’s life. He said “I’m actually doing a film in April about the life of Ian Dury, who’s a proto-punk rocker in the 1970s. He’s an amazing character, a real poet. He sort of came up out of the British pub rock scene. He sort of pre-empted the Sex Pistols and the whole punk movement. And he was a polio sufferer, so he basically didn’t have much use of his left leg or his left arm.”

This is perfect casting. If you don’t believe me, check out video of Ian Drury performing.

As I understand it, Michael Winterbottom collaborator Matt Whitecross will be the director (you may recall Serkis played Martin Hannet in Winterbottom’s 24 Hour Party People).

The second Hobbiter to sign up for a muso-movie is none other than Doug Jones. He’s in the cast of the Serge Gainsbourg biopic. He won’t be playing Gainsbourg himself (Eric Elmosnino will be ), and he hasn’t yet revealed who he will be playing, but he promises that the role will require his characteristic prosthetic make-up. Asking around, I have confirmed that the film is based upon a French comic book series (!) and will feature several supernatural creatures in “fable-like” scenes. These creatures will be handled by Studio DDT, who also worked on Pan’s Labyrinth - hence the Jones connection.

The film will also feature Laetitia Casta as Brigitte Bardot so, gentlemen, start your daydreaming now.

Gala Sidaction: the most beautiful French stars
React!

The dress code for the gala dinner given for the Sidaction was close to perfection. Yesterday evening, the flag of Armenonville could admire Clémence Poésy Queen absolute chic Parisian. Holding?

White blouse, black trousers and padded bag, sigla Chanel. Simple but so effective. Nothing to do with the exuberance displayed by Béatrice Dalle and Julie Depardieu. The two friends relied heavily on their generous bustiers!

Estelle Lefébure rather appears in a cocktail dress long and silky. It was also cross sisters Paradis, a real treat! Vanessa was amazing in his small bustier dress, pink powder, heated to a large fur coat. Alysson about his dress code was clear: black only! Finally, the lovely Laetitia Casta was also of the party ... But the meeting was not a frank success.

Chignon a bit old-fashioned dress-sewn knots knots and shoes, a little too complicated. But its freshness and simplicity we quickly forget this slight fashion faux pas.

Fortissimo rounds out Berlin slate with Asian auteurs
Liz Shackleton in Berlin
05 Feb 2009 06:00


Fortissimo Films has arrived in Berlin with several additions to its slate including new titles from three filmmakers that the company regularly works with – Taiwan's Tsai Ming-liang, Thailand's Pen-ek Ratanaruang and Dutch director Alex van Warmerdam.

Tsai is currently in post-production on Face about a Taiwanese director who is invited to make a film in Paris. Mostly shot in the French capital, the film is produced by France's JBA Production with Taiwan's Homegreen Films, Circe Films from the Netherlands and Belgium's Tarantula.

French actors Laetitia Casta, Fanny Ardant and Jean-Pierre Leaud head the cast of the film, along with regular Tsai collaborator Lee Kang-sheng. Guest stars include Jeanne Moreau, Nathalie Baye and Mathieu Amalric.

Also in post-production is Pen-ek's Nymph – a love story that marks the Thai director's first foray into the realm of the supernatural. The story follows a photographer who takes his wife on an assignment into the jungle and then disappears.

Fortissimo is co-producing the film with Pen-ek's regular Bangkok-based producing partner Five Star Entertainment.

Meanwhile, Fortissimo's Wouter Barendrecht and Michael J. Werner are executive producing, in addition to selling, van Warmerdam's The Last Days Of Emma Blank. Also in post-production, the black comedy follows the dying owner of a large country house who drives her staff to the brink of madness. Fortissimo has previously handled several van Warmerdam titles including his last film Waiter.

Fortissimo has also picked up the second feature from Tunisian director Raja Amari, Anonymous, billed as a coming-of-age thriller. Amari's feature debut, Satin Rouge, picked up prizes at the Seattle and Torino fests.

These four new titles join recent pick-ups Daniel & Ana from Mexico's Michel Franco and the remastered version of Paul Schrader's Mishimi: A Life In Four Chapters, along with official competition titles Every Little Step and Food Inc (Berlinale Special), Miao Miao (Generation) and Unmistaken Child (Panorama).

The Amsterdam and Hong Kong-based sales agent recently hired industry veteran Chris Paton to oversee its international acquisitions team. Based in London, he will help source the kind of commercial but quality titles that can outride the current market contraction.

Will debut at the forthcoming Cannes Film Festival (May 2009) the new Tsai Ming-liang. Visages (Face) shot between the Tuileries and the Louvre for six weeks, in areas never opened to the public or to the shooting, is the story of a Taiwanese director who tries to reinterpret the myth of Salomè.
Initially was to be Salomè Maggie Cheung ( "makes me think of the actresses of the silent flm, a Ruan Lingyu and Marylin Monroe, two actresses who have passed from the status of mere trademark cinematic cultural icon"), after his rejection, l ' incarnation of a beautiful Salomè as ferocious, inspired by the biblical figure, but in the vision of Oscar Wilde, is entrusted to Laetitia Casta, a model and face of the Marianne of France, also chosen by the director by virtue of his lack of experience film (Bresson has also actresses used unconventional, fresh faces and not Orthodox).
The male protagonists are inseparable Lee Kang Sheng - defined by Tsai his real experiment and not the face that never stops to shoot (just 64 in Venice, when the Help me Eros, debut director of his fetish actor, Tsai announced this new project) and Jean-Pierre Léaud, the face of so many films of Truffaut and tied by Tsai Ming-liang by a relationship of mutual esteem and friendship (it's already appeared in What time is there?, 2001).
"I reincontrato Jean-Pierre recently in a cafe in Paris" told Tsai Ming-liang before starting work on the film and watching his face marked by the years, face a child and yet full of sorrow, I felt the urgency to film ".
Just from the world of new wave cinema and François Truffaut, inspiration, declared that this new film along with Buddhist themes, and the figure of John the Baptist in the work of Leonardo da Vinci, are also two female faces very loved by him: Fanny Ardant eJeanne Moreau, respectively in the part of a producer and a sort of Musa that appears in a dream. The cast is completed by one of the best French players of recent years, Mathieu Amalric, and Nathalie Baye (Une liaison pornographique).
The dances are performed by Salomè choreographer Philippe Decouflé, the costumes by renowned fashion designer Christian Lacroix. Produced by Jacques Bidou of JBA Productions (France) and Homegreen Films (Taiwan), subsidized ART Cinema - and the Louvre, which he commissioned, with 20% of the budget - the film is returned to the program Cinéfondation, L 'Atelier, which is to report each year between 15 and 20 projects of filmmakers from around the world and to encourage financing because their authors can bring to an end, next to De la guerre by Bertrand Bonello, To die like a man of João Pedro Rodrigues and the four times of Italian Michelangelo Frammartino.

Born in 68
When y'en more, y'en again. A few months after the wild celebration of May 68 and all products that come with it, here's the DVD.

Yves Bouillon

Abstract without telling the end

May 68: the barricades, demonstrations, protests. Young students, Catherine, and Yves Hervé experiment, like others, free love. A few years later, they settled with a group of friends on a farm: the hippie era, flowers on the vans, communities, the acceptance of nudity, polygamy forever. The tribe grows. Disputes are not provided. This is the era of AIDS manifestations of collective Act up. Then came 2002 and the arrival of Jean-Marie Le Pen in the second round of elections. Born in 68 says forty years of social movements through the hectic life of a tribe who would question the contribution of the famous May.


Our opinion: A good idea wasted
The ambitious project was promising. Required players and talent can take a character over several decades. Apart from Laetitia Casta, the challenge has not been passed by the rest of the cast which makes this tale and politicized in intergenerational soap disappointing and ridiculous in places.

Laetitia Casta: the baby arrives, his psychoanalysis, the perception of its beauty ... said it all, or almost!

Since the announcement of the third pregnancy of the lovely Laetitia Casta, the young woman of 31 years is discreet. Certainly, it will be on display for a biopic on Serge Gainsbourg, as Brigitte Bardot (why it chose the blond), it certainly is generic Faces (submitted to Cannes official selection), but the beautiful Corsican does little book.

So when it does in Paris Match, is enjoys. In this interview, Laetitia not talking about his (very) beautiful companion Stefano Accorsi and barely mentions her baby. A sentence? In fact, it barely touches the subject. It refuses even to give an estimate of the birth of the baby because "It would be like stealing his life to my child." Yes, respect, if it said.

Apart from its passionate, it was learned that Miss Casta has also experienced pain in which she "drowned". Recognize that we can be extremely beautiful, rich and having problems: Whew! Reassuring for us mere normal people. Laetitia Casta admits having had recourse to psychoanalysis to get out of these "torment." A remedy that allowed him to open up to others and to put his regret and pain "his teenage years fly by modeling the effects of his meteoric rise on family relations, his regret for not d study ".

The destruction of family relations precisely, she speaks openly. And if some of his remarks are glaring truth, other puzzle: "Within a family, when someone is more beautiful than the others, it is considered a UFO. We do not normally look. (...) There is no beauty without the trust and respect for those who look at you. So my definition of beauty, not to correspond to the canons of beauty (which it is still part ! ed.). I defined poetry as a presence. And that has nothing to do with age. (...) I never told my parents: 'Please me have done so pretty 'But I never whines either:' I am unhappy because I'm pretty ... ' (...).

So let me be clear: it's hard to be beautiful ... but it is highly treatable.

For those who wish to have a big family, it is party: Laetitia Casta is already mother of a small Sahteene, 7 years old (born of her relationship with photographer Stephane Sednaoui) and a young Orlando aged 2 years and half (including pregnancy had lost a role). Stefano Accorsi is the proud papa and the baby to come.

We can now only hope for this wonderful and beautiful young women to excel both in the next films to come in her modeling career (and muse of L'Oréal).

Eroticism conqueror zero hair
By Sabine Pirolt

Ouch! The trend is for total hair removal of intimate areas, especially among teenagers. Where does this way recently, as she says in our mores influenced by pornography? Responses professional beauty and health romandes.

At 17, Melinda is a young girl like all the others. Fribourgeoise the dream of becoming famous, loves fashion and jewelry. Especially, it hair entirely, like all girls her age, with wax or razor. Completely means it has more or a hair under the arms, or legs, or sex. For her, it is obvious. Why hunt for hair? "It's cleaner and better for all, compared to boys and even go to the gynecologist." To listen to the players in two professions that put their noses in such places, Melinda and her friends are not exceptions. Gynecologist in Gland, Steve Spuhler confirms this trend among young girls. "Indeed, it is a common practice now." Even finding of professional beauty, like Virginia Saver, Secretary of the Swiss owners beauticians beauty institutes and relaxation. "They are full bikini increasingly young and growing old." In Geneva, the Institute Brigitte Epil and You is an "upsurge of demand zero hair in intimate areas" for a year or two.

Eastern razor or wax. While waxing legs and armpits of course today it is not yet true of the intimate hair removal, even if it is making major moves razor or wax Eastern. At this point, the removal of hair is still debate. In a book just published, from hairy to smooth, history and aesthetics of intimate hair removal, Jean Da Silva, professor of fine arts at the Sorbonne University in Paris, is no less than 210 items of about 30000 messages on a discussion forum Medical busy. With all kinds of concern: "Should sex hair," "Hair of and doubt", "Waxing and sport", "Possible ashamed to have shaved pubis", "Epilation of and pleasure." Jean Da Silva is convinced: "From the moment you raise the issue of intimate hair removal, there is a light design on her genitals. It is not religion, morality or science that are required to tell the truth about sex, but the aesthetics. "

Ugly and dirty hair. More prosaically, the clients of beauticians argue for hygiene and talk about the feeling of being more "net" when they submit their crotch to this painful operation. Virginia Savers "Women say hair:" It is ugly and dirty! "On this last point, they were all wrong, said Josy Kaenzig, nurse training practice laser hair removal in a medical office Biel. "Nature has still placed hairs here for one reason: it is a barrier against infections."
Steve Spuhler, he looks rather to reverse the reasoning: "The waxing causes microcracks superficial epidermal layers, facilitating the intrusion of bacteria naturally present on the skin or hands."

And the erotic? Dirty, not dirty, the hair of the inseam? The question is almost secondary. If the intimate hair removal is a cosmetic concern, it also has a sexual function. "The hair has become a empêcheur to enjoy in circles, hair removal becomes decisive in practice oral sex," notes Jean Da Silva. And to quote a young girl of 18 years: "You will not see you with hair full mouth."
In the U.S. edition of Cosmopolitan in January 2006, the beautiful Eva Longoria - Desperate Housewives - encourages all women to try at least once, full waxing "makes sex even better." This is the view of Vincent, a close Romand de la quarantine, amateur women. "The waxing full, I demand. It's much more soft and sensual to the language. For me, a cat care, it's very exciting. There are men who prefer a manicure, it depends on taste. A woman who pays attention to sex, and therefore the hair on, it means that it is naughty, so interesting. The hair is disgusting, it stinks! "

Influence of pornography. This last remark boosted Catherine Solano, a physician and sexologist, author of a dozen books on the body and pleasure. "It's pathetic. The hair does not feel dirty and bad has nothing to do with having or not. You feel bad if you do not wash. On the contrary, in these areas, hold the hair smells good. "
The young woman attributes the mode of "sex zero" to the influence of pornography. She answered many questions from readers or listeners Francophone continuously receives mail on the issue of hair removal full: "Some girls want to know how to have sex as pretty as that of porn actresses. A young man asked me if it was normal for his girlfriend's hair here ... "

Teens without references. What explains that? "These are the first images we see that calibrate impulses. If it is pornography, people are calibrated sex hair. "It talks about pedophile impulses for fans without pubic hair:" It's unconscious ... "The doctor hopes that the inner fleece will resume hair of the beast. "It's like piercing and tattoos that will become outdated practices. Skin on a young, pretty, but when we age ... "
Those who have decided to eradicate - the laser, flash lamp or electricity - all traces of hair out there may well regret it. Not only the skin of the face relaxes: "One day they will all be happy to be there," warns Catherine Sauser, beautician in Lausanne, who wonders why women s'infligent such torture. "A doctor, shocked, told me that their husbands are watching too many movies and magazines X. Is it their personal taste or do they come in the game of men? Keeping women and should not look at girls! "

Hairy Casta. That's about in these terms that the former top model Laetitia Casta - who performed at the theater in 2006 a mother in the Hairy-ais stool - denounced the phobia of hair: "It's very erotic hair, very glamorous. Unfortunately, we tend to want women smooth enough by doing and that is closer to children. But a woman should look like a woman ", she reported on a TV tray.
Indeed, in the normalization of pornography smooth hairy made a detour over, "says Jean Da Silva. "The productions that feature women with fleece now in its kind to any customer at once nostalgic and novelty seeking." If it is assumed that the patterns come and go, intimate hair likely to take the hair of the beast ...

(Sumary: apparently, Laeti likes her hair au naturale)

Laetitia Casta: hard to be too good ...
Laetitia Casta is one of the most famous models in the world. Yet, the actress has sometimes suffered from being too good, as she explained in an interview with Paris Match.
May 20 2009 - 12:04 by Amélie BERTRAND

Laetitia Casta is regularly cited as one of the women most sexy and glamorous on the planet. Discovered as a model at age 15, Laetitia Casta has walked the catwalks around the world before turning to a career as an actress.

However, the star has recently confessed to the magazine Paris Match that she had sometimes suffered from being too pretty. "Within a family, when someone is more beautiful than the others, it is considered a UFO. We do not normally look," says Laetitia Casta. For her, beauty is not just a question of image. "There is no beauty without the trust and respect for those who look at you. So my definition of beauty, not to correspond to the canons of beauty. I defined poetry as a presence . And that has nothing to do with age. I never told my parents: 'Thank you made so pretty' But I never whines either: 'I am unfortunate because I'm pretty ...'".

The life of a beautiful actress is not so easy by Laetitia Casta.

She will climb the stairs at Cannes for "Face" in competition. She is shooting a movie where she played Brigitte Bardot. And the actress expects her third child

This is the most famous pout in the world is Laetitia Bardot in the film by Joann Sfar, "Serge Gainsbourg: heroic life." The actress poses in an attitude made famous by BB is one of the stars of the Cannes Film Festival is presented where his other film, "Face" of Chinese director Tsai Ming-liang (on November 4 screens). Laetitia Salome is still a myth in this story inspired and co-produced by the Musée du Louvre. The actress is pursuing a demanding career since her debut in Raoul Ruiz's "The strong souls" in 2001: his first appearance at Cannes. But the screenplay of her life she wrote without concessions: to 31 years, she will soon be mother again.

In the darkness of the bar, white appearance. If darkness comes alive, not only because of the immaculate tunic of Laetitia Casta. It's his face the moment he met the light of lamps. Skin pearly, translucent, virgin makeup. Around her like a nimbus of candor. He remembered the blond accused of a little hair bleached a golden age Bardot - she comes to embody BB in the movie Joann Sfar spent Gainsbourg. But despite the challenges of increasingly risky it needed to face the cameras - it also comes to play a neurotic production in Taiwan in competition at Cannes - the former top model remains close to Ondine from Giraudoux as the sex bomb that inspired Gainsbourg's torrid "I love you moi non plus". Its small pouting certainly evokes the ways boudeuse BB, and his nose is almost identically busqué. But the resemblance stops there. Blue-green eyes with a perfect clarity, and in her baby face almost unchanged, while continuing to talk about freshness and innocence. Two children, however, and soon a third, 31 years old people: it is his birthday tomorrow. She madly sheet: "I keep telling myself that I will make a great feast, and finally I do nothing! A too organize things, they become sad. And, anyway, the weather improves! "The word seems to refer to his round belly, with the birth of which we can guess it will take place in late summer, but she refuses to deliver the exact date:" It would be like stealing his life to my child! "Self systematically. A reflex since its spectacular beauty has dictated the content of magazines. The image is needed then, mechanical and easy: a Madonna.
"I was overly full, in love, in friendship, in all! A real pain

But I do not have time to round off the first syllable of the word. Eyebrow suddenly Fronc, Laetitia Casta pulverises the cliché: "It is not, but I'm passionate! An emotional, an instinctive! Anything but serene! "That it takes so much to heart that she blushes ... I ventured: "Passionate or hypersensitive? "Always flush skin and deliciously pink, she agrees:" Both me go ... But do not think I made progress! A few years ago, one word at a party and I unleashed anger cyclone! I was overly full, in love, in friendship, in all! A real pain. "

Her face is so smooth, it is difficult to imagine Laetitia Casta torment devastated, devastated by grief ... But it already revised downwards: "I suffered the same things as everyone else! And also, at times I am overwhelmed ... But it allowed me to meet other extraordinary people because they themselves were drowned ... And when I venture to ask by what method, she says, always open the collar: "Psychoanalysis. It's incredible what it has learned. Developed my curiosity. In my searching, I discovered the other. "Then, in precise words and slightly flutes, she explained that as it has discovered a huge thirst for knowledge - particularly in the humanities - at the same time it must overcome its" drowning "her teens stolen by modeling the effects of his meteoric rise on family relations, his regret at not having done studies.

The meeting with her husband, Italian actor Stefano Accorsi, and the birth of two children, his daughter Sahteene, 7 and a half years, his son Orlando, 2 and a half years, there may also be for something, right? The beautiful object a little rebellious and sulking that port head sovereign in itself, said "no." But far from closing, she explained. Generously, like the rest: "A woman may not have had any children and spread the sweetness of the opening. Motherhood for me is much more: go to the meeting itself and the other who gives life. Then make a journey together. A journey of more exciting that all children are different! "

His hands come alive. Of course, there is in it a profound rejection of stereotypes and conventions, and titillates the question - it is inexhaustible: "The number of things that m'agacent when it comes to motherhood! The phrase "fall pregnant"! Or the stupid idea that pregnancy is necessarily a time of growth ... Or those who, seeing me pregnant for the third time, I said, "You have much courage!"
"I define beauty as the poetry of a presence"

Instead, as we expect to close in on its belly as do those of so many mothers, her hands began to fly, to follow the course of passionate phrases: "Obviously, three pregnancies, it slowed career. And the third child, I just started to think about it. But nature has been faster than I thought! I always wanted a big family ... Kids, yes, of course, is the noise of the bazaar, the unexpected, but I like it! Me and my children are growing up! As for pregnancy, it is simply a state where I dedicated my life. A life. So you understand the phrase "you've never been so beautiful qu'enceinte" I do not support them. I'm in something else. Especially since my definition of beauty has nothing to do with the condition, age or the rest. "

I jump at the chance: for once I talk with a truly beautiful girl, if I want to know what it is, precisely, to have received at birth this great gift of the fairies? Again, Laetitia Casta is engaged without fuss: "It is others who decide what constitutes beauty. You, at first, you just feel that you are different. Within a family, when someone is more beautiful than the others, it is considered a UFO. We do not normally look. In my head girl, it triggered feelings of great violence. I felt object. And my goal very early, was to establish myself as a subject. I wanted to become a being strong and free. Escaping to something that distorts everything. As a subject, now I look at any woman, I feel beautiful in the eyes of a man. There is no beauty without the trust and respect for those who look at you. So my definition of beauty, not to correspond to the canons of beauty. I defined as the presence of poetry. And that has nothing to do with age. I have been slow to arrive there. Top model, I had to admit that I had no control over the look and fantasies of others. I never told my parents: "Thank you for showing me so pretty." But I never whines either: "As I am unhappy because I'm beautiful ..." The devastation that my career has caused my family, I did not feel responsible. Neither victim nor perpetrator. Tiny, I knew we were alone, we die alone and that I should not expect unreasonable things of others. And paradoxically, from the age of 12 years, I also knew that I live something exceptional. That was my dream, I've even noticed on one of my notebooks. My wish came true. There was probably something written. I believe in destiny. "

And only when she speaks the words "writing" and "destiny" that passes its traits on fatigue of pregnancy. As if they contained something infinitely larger than the child's round belly. So Laetitia Casta preferred to go as she came: with nothing in it hanging or installation. Much more than beautiful. Poetic. True. Endpoint

Laetitia Casta,
Salomé an expected
Jean-Luc Wachthausen
22/05/2009 | Updated: 21:12 | Add to my selection
In this musical film which revisits the myth of Salomé, Laetitia Casta plays two characters, a top model and the daughter of Herodias. (Rezo Films)
She is the top billing of "Face" the Taiwanese filmmaker Tsai Ming-Liang was shot in the Louvre Museum.

"Face" - Drama of Tsai Ming-Liang with Laetitia Casta, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Fanny Ardant, Nathalie Baye, Jeanne Moreau. Duration: 2 h 17. Released: November 4.

Eight years ago, it was his baptism of fire Cannois climb the steps of the Palace with The Souls strong, the Franco-Chilean director Raoul Ruiz, which closed the festival. Laetitia Casta is this time competing with Face of Tsai Ming-Liang. The Taiwanese director (And there what time is it? And The Hole, both shown at Cannes) has turned to the Louvre this musical, a kind of rereading of the myth of Salomé involved in a tribute to Truffaut La Nuit American through his favorite actor, Jean-Pierre Léaud.

"I do not particularly competitive," admits the actress, but I am proud to accompany the director to Cannes, to go for adventure. After The Grand Apartment Thomas and Pascal Born in 68 of Ducastel and Martineau, it takes a bold step here by embodying a dual role, that of a top-model and the daughter of Herodias.

"I sing and I dance by offering a modern version of the seven veils reviewed and corrected by a film clearly inspired," says Laetitia Casta was therefore left to be guided by the imagination of its theater director invited to turn in the most museum of the world (20% co-producer of the film). The institution is launching the first of three parts of a collection entitled "The Louvre offers to filmmakers."

A poetic vision and unusual

But rather than play in the middle of Botticelli, Titian and Caravaggio, she found several weeks in the basement of the museum. "It was a very physical experience," she recalls. I shot in the cellars in the middle of the pipes and boiler in ice water reserves against fire. I have not had the chance there but I did not wait for this film to discover the Louvre. For this role of Salome, she has complied with the vision of "poetic" and necessarily unusual by Tsai Ming-Liang makes it a sexy and captivating Salome. And if there is one head, it is online.

At age 31, Laetitia Casta, soon to be mother of a third child, has no time to turn over a career already filled. One that was both dummy for the greatest fashion designers from Jean-Paul Gaultier Yves Saint Laurent, pulpy Falbala of Asterix and Obelix against Caesar, the heroine of La Bicyclette bleue for television as for the lovely Ondine Giraudoux , takes the time to carefully preserve his privacy.

Regarded as the new Brigitte Bardot by American, she comes to embody B. B. in the film that Joann Sfar has just completed on the life of Serge Gainsbourg. Previously, she had taken care to meet the actress and listen to his advice. "I approached this role lightly because it is obvious that it is impossible to restore the myth B. B. on the screen. I had to exceed that. However, I am really amused to reinvent breaks, pouts Brigitte, to play the game of seduction. There is a childish hand, a fantasy that I enjoyed very much. Her sexy image, Laetitia Casta and assumes cultivates a lot of humor, trying to muddy the waters, to avoid the trap of women without the brain. So she made her profession with the requirement of a young woman who used her position perfectly seductive power in the eyes of others.

Palestine, Laetitia Casta, transgender and songs

Great grand finale to finish my stay: three beautiful sad movies, brilliantly brightened by songs. There was first the time that remains of Elia Suleiman, Palestinian filmmaker whose had been no news since photo.1243009544.jpgIntervention Divine in 2001 and whose subsequent misfortunes (the suicide of its producer Humbert Balsan not any) were concerned about the film. Good news, it is very successful. The Time that remains traces the history of Palestine since partition in 1948 until the present day from four episodes of the life of his family in 1948, the year of partition, which we see come into Fuad Suleiman resistance, 1970, the death of Nasser, where Elia, of Nazareth Arab child is enrolled in an Israeli school (the photo at the end of the table on the right, Zuhair Abu Hanna, who plays child Elia, having dinner with his family Cannes in a restaurant); 1980, adolescence Elia, 2009, return to Nazareth at the bedside of his widowed mother, and sick. True to his style burlesque dry, Suleiman signed by the worst film of his career - which, given its subject, is not surprising - along with a moving tribute to his father and his involvement in armed resistance. It does not give up the gags, but photo-177.1243010095.jpgceux they are a much more black humor than in his previous films. The feat he accomplishes, with respect to itself and the public, is to provoke laughter from the situations whose gravity initially cause consternation, and he shoots, making them last so absurd by treating them as scenes of cartoon, into a comical grin. The song for Celine Dion Titanic, reproduced in full on a karaoke machine by the nurse of the old Filipino mother Elia to liven up his evenings is just one example of this fiercely comic tragedy. Songs still in Face of Taiwanese Tsai Ming-liang. Serving plastically stunning tableaux vivants, they give structure to this new tribute taïwannaits to François Truffaut, in which Jean-Pierre Léaud, Fanny Ardant, Jeanne Moreau, Nathalie Baye, Mathieu Amalric, and the actor's favorite film, Lee Kang-sheng. These baroque visions that inspired the film at St. John the Baptist by Leonardo da Vinci and the myth of Salomé related, are led here by Lasciviously choreography danced by sublimissime Laetitia Casta, who also sings in Chinese and in Spanish (in playback, means, but the result is here: magic). What explains this film is not clear, but it's a real pleasure for the eyes.

photo-179.1243011501.jpgTableaux live mystical visions-pop, and melancholy songs are also on the agenda of a Dying Man by Joao Pedro Rodrigues, moving melodrama in the middle of gay and transsexual Lisbon, where we go out literally bewitched by air Fado final. When projecting 14h, the room was emptied of much of its audience. Whistles, laughter displaced refused. But those who stayed have graced the film with a warm ovation. Note, a sentence imposed by Jenny, gorgeous black transsexual that overrides the travestis cabaret where she has just arrived, the main character, Toni, transsexual scene featuring long but now aging: "There is no woman wrong foot, "she says in substance. After ten days of the Cannes Film Festival, I attribute a special bonus for the film before this cruel truth.

On ne parle que de ça |
Laetitia Casta, enceinte
Sa grossesse? «C’est fort, sauvage, violent.»

Come to Cannes to present his latest film, Face, directed by Tsai Ming-liang, the actress could not deny the obvious. On the red carpet, along with its companion, the Italian actor Stefano Accorsi, she was beautiful, beautiful, belly, in her deliciously round black Givenchy dress.

Within her womb, she had the same feeling that animal in the past. A pleasure to feel full. Vertigo no longer s'appartenir. A desire to give. Like when she was pregnant Sahteene, daughter, or Orlando, his son. Five months pregnant, she said: "It's strong, wild, violent." Woe to him who yet chattel to say it has never been so beautiful.

It tacle: "The number of things that m'agacent when it comes to maternity: the expression get pregnant! Or the stupid idea that pregnancy is necessarily a time of growth! "

Would it be pink or blue? She does not want to know. "So, in addition to birth, which is always an event full of mystery, we will surprise sex," she says. Mystery, this third pregnancy has long been crowned! Whether or not that the film producers.

The reason: "A priori, our job is civilized. But if you say you are pregnant, woe to you, you're thrown out. The actress spoke knowledgeably. At its previous pregnancy she had suffered the costs of a system where insurance is the law. She had confessed to a director she was expecting a baby. And she turned in a minute ...

Naked women in broad daylight!
Thursday 04 June 2009

Gone are the days of sexual freedom and shamelessness of 70 years! Today, nearly 9 out of 10 women s'avouent "modest", especially the young. The study TENA / IFOP published today shows that female modesty is a matter of time ...

The 15-24 years are most embarrassed to reveal their bodies. This trend marks a change in the attitudes of women, there are some thirty years, were much more free. These women are now 50 to 64 years and are an exception.

Modesty decreases (or disappears) in privacy. 95% of women are naked in front of their spouse and one in four women sleeping naked (still 11%, 27% often, 35% sometimes). In contrast, fewer than one in two women (47%) has already shown naked in front of their child.

If women are modest, they are mainly complexed by the body. Half of the women do not like it. These complexes have an impact on privacy. 45% of them prefer to make love in the dark and 1 woman in 5 custody even some clothing during the act.

In public, nudity is well accepted. On the beach, topless disturb less than one in 4. Give the breast in public or distribute a painting representing a nude woman are "situations admitted.

However, an advertisement showing a pair of breasts or buttocks discomfort more than a third of French women. Naturism is still more limited phenomenon, it concerns only 13% of women.

The vision of the woman is more successful if it is au naturel. Among the women who best embody the most graceful of the female nude, Laetitia Casta attracted 45% of French women.

According to Grooveeffect, the images involving actress Scarlett Johansson, British model Daisy Lowe and Marie-Ange Casta, the sister of film and TV's Laetitia Casta, are helping propel the popularity of such things as Mango watches.
The source explained that this season, the company is promoting an "empowering and strengthening wardrobe for women", including an emphasis on shoulders through jackets and tops as well as skinny-fit trousers and pencil skirts to complete the look.
Mango watches may go very well with this look, should it appeal to fashionistas, though the star power behind the brand may be enough to show just how popular Mango gear really is this season.

Battle intense media before the trial Clearstream
By Reuters, published on 07.09.2009, 16:

PARIS - In two weeks the hearing on the Clearstream affair, the media battle intensified Monday between actors manipulation conducted with false documents could be referred Nicolas Sarkozy.

The Presidency of the Republic said that the head of state, plaintiff in the trial where he was represented by his lawyer Thierry Herzog, wanted to know who was responsible for what it regards as a "combined".

"It is high time that all these schemes under the Fifth Republic, once and for all we be freed," they say at the Elysee. "Whoever it is that makes them. The combined there was too much (...) And now, as the defendants and explained that the judges decide."
The former intelligence officer General Yves Bertrand for his part described as "fantastic" claims of the protagonists, Imad Lahoud, accusing him of having organized the company in its questioning of slanderous and Nicolas Sarkozy of having informed his rival on the right, Dominique de Villepin.
This trial, which opens September 21 for a month to oppose the first time a head of state in office and a former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, who faces up to five years in prison for "complicity of denunciation libelous, complicity to forgery, receiving stolen ".
Lists of fake bank accounts of Clearstream Luxembourg finance company, which blamed the holding secret bank accounts and funds of corruption in many public figures, including Nicolas Sarkozy, were awarded in 2004 to judge Renaud Van Ruymbeke.
This then triggered a criminal investigation for threatening several people, including Nicolas Sarkozy, and has uncovered the fraud until late 2005.
POLICY ISSUE
The defense stressed that the investigation did not establish with certainty the motive of the transaction, even if the judges concluded that it was Dominique de Villepin to eliminate Nicolas Sarkozy in the race at the Elysee.
The list included, besides the name of Nagy-Bosca (Hungarian surname of Nicolas Sarkozy), those of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Jean-Pierre Chevènement, Laurent Fabius, Alain Madelin, magistrates, lawyers, policemen, industrialists or film stars such as Laetitia Casta.
The police collected physical evidence suggesting Imad Lahoud, a former executive of EADS, has made false listings from genuine documents obtained by journalist Denis Robert, and a consultant, Florian Bourges.
It is also established that it is a vice-president of EADS at the time, Jean-Louis Gergorin, a friend of Dominique de Villepin, who presented to Judge Van Ruymbeke.
After numerous inconsistent statements during the investigation and in a book, Imad Lahoud took forgery and questioned Yves Bertrand and Dominique de Villepin in a statement in late 2008 in another proceeding, which was published by Le Journal du sunday.
The former boss of "RG", close to Jacques Chirac, on Monday denied any role France Info in this case. In a book coming out, it returns the accusation and suggested that Nicolas Sarkozy has used the case to make room by eliminating his opponents on the right.
The Elysee said that Nicolas Sarkozy had filed complaints while he was still president.
Dominique de Villepin condemned him, the legal position of Nicolas Sarkozy as he deems improper and privileged, as has indirect authority over the attorney as head of state and has a criminal immunity for its functions.
In a ruling last July 8 in another case of "piracy" of bank account of President, the court of Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) refused to repair the damage of Nicolas Sarkozy based on these legal grounds. The prosecution has appealed.

The defense stressed that the investigation did not establish with certainty the motive of the transaction, even if the judges concluded that it was Dominique de Villepin to eliminate Nicolas Sarkozy in the race at the Elysee.
The list included, besides the name of Nagy-Bosca (Hungarian surname of Nicolas Sarkozy), those of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Jean-Pierre Chevènement, Laurent Fabius, Alain Madelin, magistrates, lawyers, policemen, industrialists or film stars such as Laetitia Casta.
The police collected physical evidence suggesting Imad Lahoud, a former executive of EADS, has made false listings from genuine documents obtained by journalist Denis Robert, and a consultant, Florian Bourges.
It is also established that it is a vice-president of EADS at the time, Jean-Louis Gergorin, a friend of Dominique de Villepin, who presented to Judge Van Ruymbeke.
After numerous inconsistent statements during the investigation and in a book, Imad Lahoud took forgery and questioned Yves Bertrand and Dominique de Villepin in a statement in late 2008 in another proceeding, which was published by Le Journal du sunday.
The former boss of "RG", close to Jacques Chirac, on Monday denied any role France Info in this case. In a book coming out, it returns the accusation and suggested that Nicolas Sarkozy has used the case to make room by eliminating his opponents on the right.
The Elysee said that Nicolas Sarkozy had filed complaints while he was still president.
Dominique de Villepin condemned him, the legal position of Nicolas Sarkozy as he deems improper and privileged, as has indirect authority over the attorney as head of state and has a criminal immunity for its functions.
In a ruling last July 8 in another case of "piracy" of bank account of President, the court of Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) refused to repair the damage of Nicolas Sarkozy based on these legal grounds. The prosecution has appealed.

So, from what I can gather from this, the French "Watergate," the charges against Miss Casta, and indeed, Sarkozy and all others on that list are completely baseless and fraudulent?

Buzzer! On Yahoo! Only five officials in a hundred years and the same family still owns. L'Oreal is celebrating its century of existence, proud of its 67,000 employees in 130 countries. If this "small business" launched by a visionary deserved a book, it allows, through original photographs, advertising campaigns and the texts of Jacques Marseille, trace a diagonal 1909-2009 outcrops where the evolution manners, taste, image of women.
Everything begins in economic crisis. Unemployment reached 25% in the USA, world production is down 35% and international trade in free-fall of 65%. Except in France, industrial growth is 5% per year from 1905 to 1914.
At the end of a courtyard in the Rue d'Alger, Paris, in two rooms on the mezzanine, an enthusiastic young man, Eugene-Paul-Louis Schueller, son of bakers in Alsace, embarks on his own in the manufacture of dyeing "harmless" hair. His first patent, a first job does not pay that will soon turn into veritable gold mine.
It will take twenty years after the war happens the small social revolution of the Roaring Twenties. Especially the woman who changes. It emancipated, cuts hair like a boy and can finally hide the inevitable: the white hair. As a direct result: between 1921 and 1937, the number of hairdressers double.
30s: Jean Harlow film embodies the ideal woman. It is platinum blonde with short hair. Less glamorous, the hand hygiene. The saga starts Monsavon, followed closely by the Dop shampoo. That might not sound like much, but Dop puts an end to the prehistory of shampoo and inaugurates a real change in the habits for the first time, washing hair is more strongly discouraged or outlawed. For proof, just look at the advertisements Dop until the late 1950s, whose slogans announce that we now can "wash their hair once a week or two." We can not stop progress.
Until 1957, Schueller dominates his house. Andre Bettencourt married seven years ago the only daughter of Eugene, Liliane, and "small business" turns to big business at the turn of the 1960s thanks to the innovations of the lacquer Elnet, Belle-Color, etc. Kerastase.
Another major upset of the century fashion tan. L'Oreal is riding the wave and launch Ambre Solaire. Magazines become parades swimwear, the ball pin-up is open. The estate of the kind happens with the muses of the campaign "because I'm worth it", launched in 1997. Jerry Hall, Andy MacDowell, Kate Moss, Jennifer Aniston, Milla Jovovitch, Catherine Deneuve, Laetitia Casta ... L'Oreal has every had.
In addition to headliners, L'Oréal and PPR buy Yves Saint Laurent Beauty. A shot in the big business of Monopoly leads to L'Oreal unique portfolio of 17 luxury brands among which include perfume Stella McCartney, Boucheron, Ermenegildo Zegna, Diesel and Viktor & Rolf.
In 2009, L'Oreal is like everyone else and follows the global movement: it is the ethical perspective and "responsible" is initiated.
Welcome this beautiful opus on the brand "is worth it" and reminds us that it led the French - and it's not nothing - to wash!

"Face": the sensuality of Laetitia Casta, Salome new

CRITIQUE
Filmed at the Louvre, an institution sponsoring the film, which was presented at Cannes in May, and the Tuileries gardens, snowy face is a homage to François Truffaut, whose director Tsai Ming-liang has always claimed the inheritance. On the model for Night, Truffaut, Face tells the story of a shoot, chaotic, where players French filmmaker (Jean-Pierre Léaud, Fanny Ardant, Jeanne Moreau, Nathalie Baye) are gathered to play adaptation the myth of Salome, directed by Taiwanese director.

The director is played by Lee Kang-sheng, double screen Tsai Ming-liang in all his films. His actor who must play Herod is played by Jean-Pierre Léaud, double screen François Truffaut who inspired Tsai Ming-liang the idea of building his work around a single actor.

Setting abyss here is very sophisticated form, the device extending into the smallest details, especially in the actors' experience. From Jean-Pierre Léaud, who plays an elderly actor and legendary "fragile" by Laetitia Casta as the star without which the film in the film could not have come up financially. The story relies heavily on these echoes between reality, the film and the film in the film as a possible plot, which, in fact, we do not understand much. This led to collusion between the unlikely world of the author and one of Truffaut, who had already touched the first time in there and what time is it? Where Jean-Pierre Léaud made an appearance.

What comes to Laetitia Casta in this case? Playing the young star and engaging for his character of Salome, with incredible sensuality and joy of every moment, with fabulous numbers sung and danced, choreographed by Philippe Decouflé. As nothing, it goes from Mandarin to Spanish (in playback, of course), a dress with a train set with endless pieces of gold with total nudity. Between shots, it is also idle this actress who blackens his mirror, cigarette in mouth, by pasting methodically strips of adhesive tape, which undergoes the work of makeup artists, the cold ice they rub on his face to make "more alive".

Laetitia Casta is the face smooth, without history, where everything is slipping. It comes vampirize the soul of Jean-Pierre Léaud, who evokes the name of Orson Welles, from Buster Keaton, of Charlie Chaplin, and whose features instead the history of cinema as a whole is deeply engraved.

There is nostalgia in the face, that of a golden age that was already running engulfed in Return to Dragon Inn, the film that Tsai Ming-liang was shot entirely in an old cinema. But it is put in tension with the chaos of this, with this film that takes water from all sides, in which they run after a deer disappeared in Paris, we went to Taiwan to bury the mother of filmmaker, one loses control over the old French actor, there is concern that insurance does not want more cover, there is no longer the director, busy get laid behind a tree in the garden with Mathieu Amalric ... Nostalgia is swept, especially by delirious pop charts choreographed by the splendor of the costumes signed Christian Lacroix and decorations, the beauty of Laetitia Casta.

Powered by Taiwanese filmmaker in the impossible position of heir to Truffaut actresses with whom she shares the screen, the former model could collapse. Quite the opposite is happening. This icon of pop culture appears here as the mainstay of the film, the last element of stability in a world that starts to spin. Hand in hand with Tsai Ming-liang, she invents the figure of the star of tomorrow.

At Cannes, "Face" was baffled at press screenings, deserted at a rapid pace.

** Face of Tsai Ming-liang
Film Franco-Taiwan, 2 h 21

Let's face the entrance face is a disconcerting film, beyond the traditional rules of narrative, moving between fantasy and dreamlike, evoking the missing confinement, waiting. On the principle of setting abyss, the story is that of a filmmaker came to the Louvre to turn the story of Salome, faced with the death of his mother, breaks turning, his doubts, quirks or absences its actors: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Lee Kang-sheng, Laetitia Casta. That's not the point.

Presenting a series of tables, Face is experienced as a sensory experience. You can choose not to seek or be carried away by the fascinating beauty, the lush and tragic poetry that comes sometimes. The film by Tsai Ming-liang (Vive l'amour, Golden Lion at Venice, La Riviere, Silver Bear in Berlin, The Hole, selected at Cannes ...) is a fascinating reflection on the work, anxiety creation, its juxtaposition with the everyday dramas, its triviality, its funny too.

Questioning the relationship between present and past, memory to oblivion, to the tangible ghost of permanent transience. The Louvre and its treasures will seem both very distant and very present

with Laetitia Casta, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Fanny Ardant. 2 h 18.
A filmmaker in search of a subject usually gets to make films about cinema. Tsai Ming Liang, Taiwan author works as shocking as "Long live love" or "The River", now seems stuck for inspiration. He then turned his command that he has passed the Louvre in vague tribute to New Wave. "Face" tells the cataclysmic turning a Taiwanese director at the Louvre. Laetitia Casta is crisp when she sings in Chinese, Jean-Pierre Léaud a little ridiculous when burying a sparrow saying sutras and Fanny Ardant lost in a scenario unlikely. "Face" was mainly the merit of the curious relation of France to his heritage. American filmmakers are paying to magnify the Louvre and bring him millions of visitors. Tsai Ming Liang, He miraculously managed to get paid by the Louvre museum's film does its cellars and sewers.
