...screening was held in a small theater off the rue d'Antibes, because this most film-savvy film - in part a homage to The Seventh Seal ("Ingmar Bergman's going to be jealous of this one," co-director Gilliam promised during the filming) - had not been deemed worthy of inclusion in the Festival proper. Such is the tardiness of official culture in understanding radical popular art. (The same thing happened this year with Borat. Sacha Baron Cohen, mocking the Festival's fabled history of topless starlets, paraded down the Croisette in a chartreuse G-string, but the film...
...Honestly, I have nothing better to do this weekend," Sneider says of the forthcoming bout. Not all of Boll?s contenders are taking the fight so casually. Chris Alexander, a critic for Rue Morgue Magazine in Toronto, has been training five hours a day for the past three months, and has reportedly been taking tips from punk rocker Alice Cooper and actor Verne "Mini Me" Troyer.

A voyeur, he captured lovers - like those in Couple at the Four Seasons Dance Hall, Rue de Lappe (circa 1932) - prostitutes and brothels, some "like a chapel lit up for midnight mass." About 190 drawings of a "born draftsman," as Pablo Picasso labeled the artist in 1939, will also be on offer, alongside a dozen of Brassaï's sculptures; prices range from...
...Even in the less-than-pristine prints that exist today, The Black Book is an shining, or rather murky, example of monochromatic camera artistry. It makes a sympathetic viewer rue Hollywood's decision, in the mid-'60s, to make all movies in color. Something was lost: the cinematographer's ability to paint with light in black-and-white...
