  2. Review: 'Port of Shadows' restored to its poetic realist glory

    It was the only French film of the 1930s, Simone de Beauvoir reported, that she and Jean-Paul Sartre jointly admired, largely for "the fog of despair enveloping the entire film." Yet it was banned by the Vichy government on moral grounds, accused of contributing to a national malaise that led to the German occupation and condemned by a French Catholic organization for telling "a profoundly demoralizing, somber story." It's "Port of Shadows," one of the treasures of French cinema now newly restored to its original glory.

  3. The difficult path to a foreign-language film Oscar

    Something like a glammed-up re-imagining of the United Nations, year-in, year-out the foreign-language film category at the Oscars is a home to diplomacy, drama, intrigue and heartbreak. And that's just the process to secure a nomination and then the award, to say nothing of the actual storytelling portrayed on-screen.

    There are two works that illustrate the range of Fontella Bass' singing power.
    There are two works that illustrate the range of Fontella Bass' singing power. One is a gut-busting soul cry, “Rescue Me,” a propellant R&B banger from 1965 that became Bass' signature. The other, equally vital, is a nine-minute thrill...

  5. Omar Sy of 'The Intouchables' hits his stride

    "The Intouchables" can justifiably be called an international sensation. Having taken in more than $414 million worldwide, including some $13 million in the U.S., is impressive enough. That the film is a French comedy-drama based on a simple story of two men makes it all the more impressive. The film is also France's submission for the foreign language Academy Award, a prize the country has not captured now for 20 years.

  11. Review: 'The Queen's Lover' has a fresh view of Marie Antoinette

    Society can turn cruel and bloodthirsty toward those at the top. Julius Caesar, Mary Queen of Scots, Mahatma Gandhi, Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy &hellip; the list is so long, we can't be expected to remember every victim. But why do certain deaths emerge as iconic, always fascinating to new generations?
