Oscar experts are prognosticating on the LATimes Buzzmeter and Gurus 'O Gold, after months of basically pointless speculation in the blogosphere, based on actually having seen some of the movies.

Oddly, Paramount is screening for press in NY and for guilds in LA, but have not shown most of us The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Revolutionary Road starts screening more widely this weekend. And I still haven't heard reports of screenings of Gran Torino or Seven Pounds. Australia is next week.

Jackman Discussed Sex 'Boundaries' With Kidman

17 November 2008 3:59 AM, PST

Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman

outlined their "boundaries" before filming love scenes for their new

movie Australia - to ensure they didn't get carried away with the

romantic storyline.

Jackman teams up for a few steamy scenes with

Kidman in the forthcoming epic, and insists their chemistry was so

electric, the actors banned their real-life partners - actress Deborra-Lee Furness and singer Keith Urban - from the film's set.

The

star tells People.com, "My wife is an actor. They both get it. But I

don't think they want to be on the set watching the monitor!

"(Love scenes with Kidman) couldn't have been better or easier. We spoke of setting boundaries."

But the hunky star is confident the scenes will look tasteful on the big screen - because he believes director Baz Luhrmann is a true cinematic artist.

Jackman

adds: "(Luhrmann) treats love scenes like choreography. The camera is

like a dancer. If you watch any of his movies, visually, the love

scenes are like poetry."

Hugh Jackman fala sobre cenas de sexo com Nicole Kidman
(17/11/2008 - 12h32)

Cena de Austrália
O novo longa de Nicole Kidman (A Bússola de Ouro) e Hugh Jackman (A Lista - Você Está Livre Hoje?), Austrália, conta com cenas quentes protagonizadas pelo casal.

E foi exatamente sobre essas cenas que o site da revista People conversou com Jackman. Segundo o ator, "as cenas, visualmente, são como poesia". Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge - O Amor em Vermelho) dirige o longa.

Sobre o diretor, Jackman conta que ele "trata as cenas de sexo como coreografias. A câmera é como um dançarino". Luhrmann contou que não teve que se preocupar com a química entre os atores. "Tinha muitas coisas para pensar - gripes e choveu pela primeira vez no deserto em cem anos! Mas na hora em que os vi como amantes, soube que não precisava me preocupar com esse departamento", contou.

Lurhmann enfrentou problemas como doenças dos atores e da equipe, casos de intoxicação alimentar e um monte de outros empecilhos para produzir o longa.

Austrália é ambientado no norte da Austrália, pouco antes da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nicole é a aristocrata inglesa Lady Sarah Ashley, que tem sua grande herança ameaçada por um barão inglês do gado.

A única maneira de salvar sua fazenda é se unindo com o arqueiro vivido por Jackman para atravessar cerca de duas mil cabeças de gado por um dos terrenos mais áridos do país.

O longa teve o roteiro escrito por Stuart Beattie (responsável pelo script de Colateral) e vêm sendo comparado ao longa ...E o Vento Levou (1939) pelos cenários e drama que o envolve, em meio aos acontecimentos dos anos 30 e 40.

Austrália estréia em 23 de janeiro de 2009 no Brasil.

Baz Luhrmann's movie Australia is a winner, say first reviews

HE SET himself an enormous challenge, but Baz Luhrmann has pulled off an incredible film in Australia.

Shoehorning two complete films into one package, Australia sees Nicole Kidman as Lady Sarah Ashley, a privileged aristocrat drawn to the outback to sell her late husband's failing cattle station.

But she's soon drawn to the landscape, a little Aboriginal boy called Nullah, played startlingly by newcomer Brandon Walters, and a taciturn drover (Hugh Jackman) who reluctantly helps her save her property.

The film begins with surprising slapstick and trademark Luhrmann over-the-top humour - a scene featuring Jackman giving himself a bath with a bucket is pure beefcake and proud of it - but settles into a compelling and moving tale which traverses war, race relations, class and the Stolen Generation.

It's a movie with a message, but Luhrmann provides the audience with no shortage of thrills, from a cliff hanger cattle stampede to the bombing of Darwin.

Kidman and Jackman are perfect together, Jackman's broad speaking drover a perfect foil to Kidman's snooty English rose.

Australia is full of familiar faces, from David Gulpilil to David Wenham, Bryan Brown to Ben Mendelsohn, but not so familiar places, to many Australians anyway.

Australia features some of the most beautiful photography ever seen in an Australian film, from the Bungle Bungles in the Kimberley to the Northern Territory in the midst of the wet season.

A love letter to the Australian landscape and our history, Australia has international blockbuster written all over it.

Fotos da premiere.

 

Críticas boas, e ruins.

 

 

A crítica fala bem, só reclama do tempo, e elogia Kidman e Jackman.

 

 

Também fala que é bom, apenas; nada de obra-prima.

Pan, essas na verdade são fotos da Press Conference de Sidney, uma entrevista coletiva dada pelos envolvidos no filme antes da Premiére...

Agora é impressão minha ou a Nicole removeu parte daquele preenchimento de lábio06? A boca dela me parece menor do q das outras vezes, mais natural... Acho q a maternidade fez a Kidman manerar um pouco...06 Graças aos Céus!

Nicole estava arrasadora aí, hein?13

 

Essas são as fotos da Premiére em Sidney:

Acho cedo demais para tirar conclusões precipitadas... Não vê o caso de Frost/Nixon ou mesmo Doubt?

 

Entaum... Tb prefiro esperar críticas de veículos mais confiantes como o The Hollywood Reporter ou a Variety. Me lembro q na época de Moulin Rouge teve muita gente que criticou negativamente o trabalho de Luhrmann.

O Baz naum é um diretor como o Paul Thomas Anderson, do qual nenhum crítico tem a coragem de espinafrar o trabalho, por exemplo. Existem pessoas que realmente naum gostam de seu trabalho...

 

Das críticas que li, um veículo criticou o fato de Luhrmann utilizar 15 minutos iniciais do filme para uma introdução frenética da história, artifício parecido com o q ele utiliza em moulin Rouge, por exemplo. Em outra, o jornalista diz que é fantástico mas que tem um final errático, crítica bem suspeita, por sinal...

 

Não sejamos precipitados...

É, relendo as críticas elas chegam a ser amadoras. Me pergunto, por que a crítica no geral anda tão decadente, pobre. Uma resenha falou que o filme é bom, mas longo???Outra fala dos clichês, como se o Baz tivesse a pretensão de fazer alguma coisa original; é exatamente o contrário, "Austrália" se torna original, acho, pela junção de todos os clichês épicos do gênero em desuso. Alguém diz que Tarantino é clichê e previsível por ele copiar todos os elementos de seus filmes?Enfim, críticas muito limitadas, espero as mais importantes logo. E no Rotten já tem algo?

No rotten, por enquanto o filme está com tudo! Quatro críticas "fresh"!

 

Agora, uma crítica animadora de um veículo importante, o The Hollywood Reporter:

 

Film Review: Australia

 

Bottom Line: In epic style, Baz Luhrmann weaves his wizardry on Oz.

 

By Megan Lehmann

 

Nov 18, 2008

 

 

Opens: Nov. 26, U.S. and Australia (20th Century Fox)

 

 

 

SYDNEY -- With his audaciously titled epic "Australia," Baz

Luhrmann has delivered a shamelessly melodramatic, often eccentric

spectacle with true-blue blockbuster potential. The most expensive

Australian film ever made is rousing and passionate. Despite some

cringe-making Harlequin Romance moments between homegrown Hollywood

stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, the 1940s-set "Australia" defies

all but the most cynical not to get carried away by the force of its

grandiose imagery and storytelling.

 

 

And, yes, there are kangaroos.

 

 

 

Tourism Australia may have politely requested their inclusion, with

hopes for a tourist revival riding on this $130 million Outback tale,

along with what seems like the future of the entire local film

industry. If Luhrmann felt the weight of that responsibility, it

doesn't show. His "Australia" is much less earnest than the trailer

suggests, layered with a thin veneer of camp and a nod and a wink to

accompany the requisite Aussie cliches.

 

 

Having shunned the recent grinding run of bleak suburban

micro-dramas, Australians are primed to embrace his monumental

magic-realist vision, which honors the country's heritage and

celebrates the invigorating majesty of its landscape.

 

 

Even if it does run a butt-numbing 2 hours and 45 minutes, the film

has broad appeal for international audiences with plenty of stirring

action sequences to make the blokes more comfortable with a

particularly blatant shot of bare-chested Jackman lathering up under

the shower.

 

 

Fashioned in the style of classics such as "Gone With the Wind" and

"Lawrence of Arabia," "Australia" follows the fortunes of persnickety

Englishwoman Lady Sarah Ashley (Kidman), who inherits a sprawling

cattle property in northwestern Australia.

 

 

Under threat of a takeover, she reluctantly enlists the help of a

Marlboro Man-style stockman known only as the Drover (Jackman) to help

drive 1,500 head of cattle across the Top End of Australia to the port

of Darwin, ahead of its bombing by the Japanese.

 

 

Unlike "Gone With the Wind," which skirted the political context of

the Civil War, the controversial issue of the so-called Stolen

Generation is more than a mere backdrop for the emotional upheavals

experienced by the film's leads. Luhrmann, who makes a habit of

upending convention, has plonked the attempted assimilation of

mixed-race Aboriginal children into Western culture front and center,

making this as much a story of reconciliation between black and white

Australia as it is between the untamed local and the aristocratic

import.

 

 

Enter the film's breakout star: 13-year-old Brandon Walters,

playing young mixed-race boy Nullah. By turns cheeky and heartrending,

the limpid-eyed newcomer knits the disparate threads of this sweeping

epic together, single-handedly lending this showcase of amplified

emotions its true heart.

 

 

Pin thin and ramrod straight, Kidman gives one of her most engaging

performances, occasionally harking back to the comic highs of "To Die

For." Meanwhile, Jackman looks good in his Akubra bush hat.

 

 

Performances are strong throughout, particularly from David Wenham

as Lady Ashley's malevolent rival and David Gulpilil as Nullah's

mystical grandfather, King George.

 

 

While the "Wizard of Oz" motif is labored and the narrative hits a

few speed bumps, all is forgiven when Luhrmann brings out one of his

stunning set pieces, like a thrilling cattle stampede along a cliff

edge.

 

 

Cinematographer Mandy Walker, who collaborated with Luhrmann on his

award-winning Chanel No. 5 commercial, creates a sumptuous, painterly

look, complemented by impeccable costume and production design from

Luhrmann's Oscar-winning wife, Catherine Martin.

 

 

Production company: Bazmark Films, 20th Century Fox

 

 

 

Cast: Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, David Wenham, Bryan Brown, Jack

Thompson, David Gulpilil, Brandon Walters; Director: Baz Luhrmann;

Flanagan; Producers: Baz Luhrmann, G. Mac Brown, Catherine Knapman;

Sorry' date=' peguei no orkut, era essa a informação.

 

Com essas críticas mornas se Austrália não arrasar nas bilheterias adeus prêmios?

 

[/quote']

Acho que Australia pode dar uma de Atonement esse ano. Não foi unanimidade entre os críticos, teve bilheteria morna, foi esnobado pelas principais premiações... e de repente aparece indicado a melhor filme.

MORRI.

 

Tá cedo, MUITO cedo, pra se confirmar algo, mas é uma tendência, espero que a bilheteria seja boa para o Oscar ficar de olho.
