  3. 'Django Unchained' pays homage to Wagner's 'Siegfried'

    When Los Angeles Opera presented its new production of Richard Wagner's "Siegfried" a few years ago at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the packed house included the usual assortment of donors and local opera buffs. Nestled somewhere in the orchestra section was an odd man out: Quentin Tarantino, the filmmaker whose hyper-modern and manic sensibilities would seem at odds with slow-moving 19th century German opera.

    In space, no one can hear you scream — but everyone can hear the classical music loud and clear.

  6. DVD review: 'Melancholia' is a multilayer metaphor

    This strange film from Lars von Trier (“Breaking the Waves,” “Dogville”), which topped my favorites list for 2011, is now available on Blu-ray disc and DVD. It's an impossible movie to categorize sensibly: One can call it “Ingmar Bergman meets Michael Bay,” which is partly true and partly ridiculous. It bounced up and down within my Top 10 but ended up in first place because it haunted my thoughts more than “The Tree of Life” or “Take Shelter” or any of the year's other deep-dish releases. It functions as a multilayer metaphor, allowing several different readings, none of them clearly “right” or “wrong.”

  9. At the Capitol Theatre: 'Melancholia' sinks deep into heady territory

    <span class="abody">Depression finally seems to have brought out the best in Lars von Trier: &ldquo;Melancholia&rdquo; is his strongest work in a while, a devastatingly beautiful, operatic mixture of all his signature themes and</span><span class="abody">visual schemes.</span><span class="abody">&nbsp;Doom is certain from the start. This is, after all, a von Trier film. But the director portends his characters&rsquo; fate with a lengthy, wordless prelude: a series of sumptuously photographed, super-slowmotion images of sadness and frustration accompanied by the swelling overture from Wagner&rsquo;s &ldquo;Tristan und Isolde.&rdquo; We see Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg struggle against the elements, against themselves. We know this cannot end</span><span class="abody">&nbsp;well.</span>&nbsp;

  11. Smart moves, sad omissions from Golden Globe 2011 movie noms

    Allow me to begin my take on <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/sns-rt-awards-golden-globe-awardsmt1thewrap33624-20111215,0,3709779.story" target="_blank">this morning's Golden Globe nominations</a> with a sigh of relief: the extremely shallow, incredibly exploitative assumed Oscar contender "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," <a href="http://www.redeyechicago.com/entertainment/movies/redeye-24-worst-movies-of-2011-20111130,0,6064715.photogallery" target="_blank">one of the worst movies of the year</a>, received zero nominations. None. Not, as some predicted, for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Max Von Sydow) or Best Supporting Actress (Sandra Bullock). Well done, Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).

  12. The Contenders: Kirsten Dunst of 'Melancholia'

    As Justine, the complicated young bride at the center of Lars von Trier's apocalyptic meditation on depression, "Melancholia," Kirsten Dunst is called upon to convey great depths of anguish with very little dialogue. But Dunst, 29, delivers such a nuanced, polished performance that it's easy to see Justine's grief living behind her eyes as the beautiful woman with the doomed future fumbles her way through her lavish nuptials, leaving a trail of fractured relationships in her wake.
