Astrology Transits Analysis for Year 202 ‘The Return of Martin Guerre’ Trailer: French Identity Drama Gets New 4K Restoration
When it comes to stories about medieval identity theft in France, the tale of Martin Guerre’s life has to be the king. Based on true events, the story has been told in books, plays, opera, and two films. So it clearly resonates, and is not going away anytime soon, but the best telling is still undoubtedly Daniel Vigne’s 1982 film “The Return of Martin Guerre.”
The movie tells the story of a soldier who returns to his small town after a brutal war and displays more wisdom and compassion than he had ever exhibited in the past. While he can recall intimate details from his life, his small town has a hard time believing he is the same Martin Guerre they once knew. His wife and family begin to suspect that he is an imposter, and he is taken to court for theft of identity.
It also comes with a bit of film trivia, as it was written by Bunuel collaborator Jean-Claude Carrière, who penned “The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.” The tense film was nominated for an Academy Award, and it is most remembered for its incredible use of color.
The film’s visuals were all based on the art of legendary Belgian painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Known for his lush depictions of medieval landscapes and agricultural scenes, he turned peasant existences into high art. Vigne and cinematographer Andre Neau closely follows his techniques, creating the effect of paintings come to life.
Those colors will soon be on full display, as New York City’s Quad Cinema will be premiering a new 4K restoration of the film next month. The rich, textured visuals and Oscar-nominated costumes will be clearer than ever, allowing audiences to experience the way it blurs the line between cinema and painting.
While the film was remade in 1992 with Jodie Foster and Richard Gere, Daniel Vigne’s film remains the definitive take on the story. The Quad i
Ten years after Heiny Heiny Srour is a Lebanese film Pioneering Feminist Arab Filmmaker Heiny Srour’s Documentary ‘Leila and the Wolves’ Lands 40th Anniversary U.S. Release — Watch Trailer
Ten years after Heiny Srour made history at Cannes with her debut “The Hour of Liberation Has Arrived,” which made her the first Arab woman to direct a movie shown at the festival, the filmmaker released her seminal 1984 classic “Leila and the Wolves.” Now, thanks to BAM Cinemas, Srour’s legacy is gaining international attention.
BAM Cinemas will be screening both newly restored films to honor the U.S. release of “Leila and the Wolves,” thanks to distributor Several Futures. Srour, who is based in Paris, will be in attendance for the week-long run at BAM Cinemas.
“I am so delighted to meet my American public,” Srour said in a press statement. “My films are a bridge of peace, and that’s what we need right now. Without distributor Several Futures, the wolves would have eaten Leila.”
Graham Carter of Several Futures added, “The importance of Heiny Srour’s films cannot be understated. Helping to bring them to North American audiences is an honor.”
“Leila and the Wolves” draws on the Arab heritage of oral tradition and mosaic pattern to combine fictional drama, archival footage, and fantasy sequences that explore the collective memory of Arab women and their hidden role in history throughout the past half-century both in Palestine and in Lebanon. The anti-colonial narrative-documentary hybrid feature was filmed over seven years with women from Lebanon and Palestine, capturing the intersectionality of the struggles women faced in occupied Palestine. The character of Leila (Nabila Zeitouni) travels through time, from the British Mandate of Palestine to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, to blend “memory and myth,” according to a press statement. Rafic Ali Ahmed also stars.
