...film festival would be incomplete without studies of filmmakers. The TFF had at least three: of Roberto Rossellini and his part-time muse Ingrid Bergman, and of two auteurs who were so "indie" they were nearly isolated: Robert Frank and Jack Smith. I skipped the Rossellini movie, though it was made by the wonderful Canadian zany Guy Maddin, because I heard that some members of the Rossellini family were outraged by it, and I was not in a mood to take sides between two groups I respect. In Robert Frank: Leaving Home Coming Home: A Portrait of Robert Frank, director...
...recent years, Lancôme has preferred a bevy of faces to a single girl. Diane Kruger and Elizabeth Jagger star in the brand's advertising campaigns, while Inès Sastre has represented Lancôme for a decade.

So this is Spielberg's Open City or Germany Year Zero, disguised as When E.T.s...
...Danish directors will get their own taste of freedom when they start shooting their Dogme films later this year. What accounts for Dogme's staying power? After all, it wasn't the first wave of cinematic minimalism: the Italian neorealists in the 1940s, like Vittorio De Sica and Roberto Rossellini, insisted on shooting on location, often using nonprofessional actors and live sound; so, too, did the auteurs of the French New Wave in the 1960s (from which Dogme borrows some ideas). And at first, nobody but its creators took Dogme seriously - it took three years for a Dogme film...
