Mas tem a Gwyneth Thico, compensa.  Meu Deus, o que é o trailer da minissérie do Haynnes?  Fantástico! Winslet certamente vai ser a "papa-prêmio" da próxima temporada na TV.  Vai faltar só o Tony pra ela entrar no seleto gupo de profissionais que possuem os quatro mais importantes prêmios do showbiz americano, sem contar que é o primeiro trabalho em que a frase "Academy Award Winner"  aparece antecedendo seu nome.  A Evan parece estar deslumbrante, também deve disputar prêmios de coadjuvante e a sempre ótima Melissa Leo também.  Ah, assisti o trailer do novo Clintão: gostei bastante.  Lá vem ele de novo e se o Oscar esquecê-lo, que se dane, ele é O CARA.

Vamos ver se a atuação da Winslet vai ser melhor que a da Crawford no original. Acho difícil, mas, esperar pra ver... e a Wood tem tudo haver com a Veda, acertaram na escalação.

Hereafter é um dos do Clintão que mais to ansioso pra ver nos últimos anos. Que bom que ele anda tentando algo diferente.

What's Wrong with Virginia, primeiro filme na direção do roteirista de Milk foi detonado no festival de Toronto. Parece que um monte de gente saiu no meio da projeção, vários comentários negativos, enfim... é estrelado pela Jennifer Connelly:

Assisti Temple Grandin' date=' filme da HBO que levou tudo no Emmy. QUE ATUAÇÃO FANTÁSTICA DE CLAIRE DANES!!!! Uma pena que tenha sido feito para televisão, ela levaria tudo o que é prêmio... Mas pelo menos foi feito e ela levou o Emmy.

Realmente é uma grande atuação. Aliás, esse filme levou 3 dos 4 Emmys de atuação (atriz, atriz coadjuvante e ator coadjuvante), e teria suas chances se fosse elegível ao Oscar. O filme em si também é muito bom. Naquele estilo mais simples e convencional, como já seria esperado, mas uma bela história muito bem contada, o que já o torna melhor do que a maioria dos filmes que chegam aos cinemas.

 

Quero ver agora You don't know Jack, que deu o Emmy ao Al Pacino.

TIFF: A Glimpse of Rabbit Hole Enthusiasm To Come?

 

 

Picture+146.pngNicole Kidman and hubby hit Toronto for the film festival. I haven't seen more than one true review yet, but she wore Prada. Just Jared has pics from the premiere.

 

As

for the review(s)? Well it's mostly tweets at this point though I

expect more reviews to emerge soon. Let's start negative and get

positive.

 

Negative

  • @ioncinema "Belly flop for JCM. Wish entry point into story was at the 10month point. Wish final scene was extended by 90 mins."
  • @matt_mazur "Rabbit Hole was really mediocre. Kidman was great but the rest uninspired. Let down"
Positive

  • The Playlist "honest and powerful"
  • Deadline NY "Nicole Kidman making a major artistic comeback"
  • @PeterKnegt

    of IndieWire says 'Bad buzz be damned. Quietly haunting and very

    affecting. Very strong and naturalistic work from Nicole Kidman'

  • @Scott_Tobias "B+) Movie about loss of a child, on no sleep and a week away from my own kid? No way this wasn't going to wreck me."

  • @GuyLodge "Very excited about early praise for Kidman: that "best of her generation" claim I've doggedly stuck to needs new foundations.

  • @juanmgc "Powerful. Remarkable. Kudos to John Cameron Mitchell for pulling Kidman and Eckhart's best performance of both their careers."

guidon, eu particularmente não vejo como a presença da Gwyneth Paltrow pode garantir (ou parecer garantir) um filme. Acho que ela melhorou muito, ainda mais depois das avacalhações por ela ter levado o Oscar em 1998, fez Tenenbaums, que é do caralho, tá muito bem em A Prova e trabalhou na maior obra-prima americana da década, Two Lovers. MAS, ela não é a Meryl Streep. Pra mim, Country Song parece uma bomba. E pior que Crazy Heart (que é um pé nº49 no saco)!

"Rabbit Hole" segue recebendo críticas excelentes, tanto para o filme como para o elenco. O problema é a falta de distribuidor americano. Aparentemente todos os estúdios já tem seus filmes e apostas para os prêmios, mas os críticos acham que ele deve conseguir distribuidor e ser vendido, vamos esperar. No Brasil já tem distribuidor, a Paris Filmes.

Rabbit Hole

 

 

 

By PETER DEBRUGE

 

 

 

 

 

'Rabbit Hole'

 

 

 

An Olympus Pictures, Blossom Films, OddLot Entertainment production. (International sales: CAA, Los Angeles.) Produced by Gigi Pritzker, Nicole Kidman, Per Saari, Leslie Urdang, Dean Vanech. Executive producers, William Lischak, Linda McDonough, Brian O'Shea, Dan Revers. Co-producer, Geoff Linville, Caroline Jaczko. Directed by John Cameron Mitchell. Screenplay, David Lindsay-Abaire, based on his play.

 

 

 

Becca - Nicole Kidman

 

Howie - Aaron Eckhart

 

Nat - Dianne Wiest

 

Jason - Miles Teller

 

Izzy - Tammy Blanchard

 

Gaby - Sandra Oh

 

Auggie - Giancarlo Esposito

 

Rick - Jon Tenney

 

 

 

Grief may be the topic under examination, but humor -- incisive, observant and warm -- is the tool with which it's dissected in "Rabbit Hole," a refreshingly positive-minded take on cinema's ultimate downer: overcoming the death of a child. Adroitly expanded from the legit hit by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (its original, Pulitzer-winning author) and director John Cameron Mitchell, "Rabbit Hole" fittingly offers a parallel-universe variation on what Broadway auds saw, with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart delivering expert, understated performances as the pic's central couple. A savvy distrib should have no trouble steering this quality drama through a healthy kudo season release.

 

Eight months have passed since the accidental death of the Corbetts' 4-year-old son, Danny, and the New York couple, Howie (Eckhart) and Becca (Kidman), still feel their lives dominated by the loss. Even the pic's opening gesture, a metaphorical sign of regrowth that finds Becca laboring in her garden, is set back when a well-meaning neighbor tramples one of her freshly planted seedlings -- no matter how hard she tries, the healing is hard. Each has a different way of coping: Howie holds on to all that reminds him of Danny, while Becca wants to sell the house and move on.

 

 

 

This is familiar territory, movingly explored countless times before, though "Rabbit Hole" is refreshingly light on the loss itself. With the exception of one unnecessary, agonizing flashback late in the film, everything takes place in the healing space of the present. But instead of moving on as they should, Howie and Becca seem to be shutting down certain parts of themselves (they haven't had sex since the accident, for example, and Danny's dog has been sent into exile with Becca's mother, played by Dianne Wiest). Just as the birth of a child can strengthen certain unstable relationships, a death threatens to permanently come between even the best-matched couple.

 

 

 

With the larger canvas of the screen at his disposal, Lindsay-Abaire deepens several key relationships. An offhand mention of the God-freaks in group therapy becomes a full-blown subplot, as Becca rejects the collective sharing sessions, where participants appear to be competing for some sort of saddest-story prize. (Empathy, as whenever her mother evokes the death of a junkie uncle, inevitably sets Becca on edge.) While Howie continues going to therapy alone, bonding with "professional wallower" Gaby (Sandra Oh, in an effective role created for the film), Becca reaches out to a teenage boy (Miles Teller) whose facial scars seem to explain what the character doesn't at first.

 

 

 

While Lindsay-Abaire endeavors to open up the action, director Mitchell uses the screen to make the material more intimate, privileging auds with closeups vital to our understanding of the characters. At first, "Rabbit Hole" may seem a radical departure from his more scandalous earlier work (gender-bending rock opera "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and explicit sex drama "Shortbus"); where those films felt transgressive, "Rabbit Hole" is polite, the production itself as neatly manicured as the Corbetts' Pottery Barn-perfect lives. On closer inspection, what all three projects share is the helmer's insistence on raw, unsimulated emotion.

 

 

 

In Kidman's case, it's nice to see the actress' lately immovable forehead participating in her performance, with subtle, almost imperceptible fluctuations in her carefully guarded facade allowing us to follow as Becca tumbles down the rabbit hole of her own emotions. Eckhart gets a couple of big shouting scenes, but the actor manages to convey just as much in Howie's quietly injured moments. A new scene, in which Howie awkwardly attempts to show prospective homebuyers Danny's room, perfectly balances melancholy and humor, while seemingly mundane details -- struggling to use an iPhone, checking on a cake in the backseat -- ground the characters in reality.

 

 

 

"It's a sad play. Don't make it any sadder than it needs to be," Lindsay-Abaire advised potential theater directors in the author's note to his play. Mitchell, whose own career began onstage, respects the writer's wishes, and with the exception of the aforementioned flashback, he shrewdly keeps the mood tipped toward the positive. Anton Sanko's Arvo Part-esque score, all introspective pianos and strings, encourages us to feel without forcing a reaction, while fleeting progression shots of a comicbook in progress enrich the payoff of the play's self-defining scene.

Kidman Joins Best Actress Race

rabbit-hole-movie.jpgThanks

to Ryan’s post, our thoughts turn to Nicole Kidman, who is said to do

brilliant work in Rabbit Hole, a tough sell all around but given

Kidman’s popularity and star power, a strong possibility.

Pete Hammond, new awards writer for Deadline, writes:

I think there is none better than Nicole Kidman making a major artistic comeback after a string of disappointments that include
Australia, Nine, Margot At The Wedding, The Invasion, Fur,
and
Human Stain.
She turns in a brilliant performance in
Rabbit Hole,
which had its gala world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival Monday night.

And:

Should it find a distributor this week and get an

end-of-year berth, past winners Kidman and Wiest both become bonafide

Oscar contenders again.

Peter Knegt writes about John Cameron Mitchell:

He also brings out strong, naturalistic work from Nicole

Kidman (I have not enjoyed her this much in some time), Aaron Eckhart

and Dianne Wiest that have enough awards potential for buyers to take

what I can only assume will be quick notice.

Could Best Actress be:

Annette Bening

 

Natalie Portman

 

Jennifer Lawrence

 

Nicole Kidman

 

Michelle Williams

 

Lesley Manville

Houston, we have a problem.  There are six Best Actress contenders and there aren’t enough slots.

Isso já é rotineiro... aliás, a Diane Lane vem aí com um filme sobre cavalos ou algo do tipo 06

 

Capaz da Manville ser puxada pra categoria de coadjuvante. Aliás, acredito que isso vai acontecer.

 

A indicação da Kidman não é muito difícil de imaginar. Hollywood adora um comeback, e com exceção da Annete e da própria Manville a maioria dos outros nomes cotados são de atrizes jovens, o que torna o caminho  dela menos difícil. Portman, Hathaway, Williams e Lawrence... provavelmente duas dessas entram no máximo.

Infelizmente acho que a Michelle e a Portman ficam de fora porque os filmes parecem ser bem "pesados" para o Oscar.  A Hathaway aos pouco vai explodindo (afinal, personagem com Parkinson não resiste a uma comediazinha canastra como parece ser esse filme).  Pra mim, o ano que vem é da Bening finalmente.  Toda a história de injustiças passadas, o fato dela ter liderado alguma coisa de atores na Academia esse ano, o lobby que o maridão vai fazer, a personagem que é um prato cheio, o filme que deve ficar entre os dez e que foi muito bem de críticas e principalmente, a grande atriz que ela é.

Não quero dizer que o filme vai ser bom, mas que plo menos será assistível porque parece que ela vem com mais um trabalho maduro, mantendo a linha da grande atriz que se tornou, assim como Bridges deve levar Crazy Heart nas costas (não sei porque ainda não tive saco (06) pra ver o filme).

 

Sobre a minissérie do Haynnes, por favor, não vamos começar com comparações.  Crawford era ela assim como Winslet é outra atriz completamente diferente, outro estilo, outra época.  Acho que pode ser tão bom quanto ou superior sim, mas vamos esquecer essas comparações, afinal, quando ela concorrer aos prêmios, não vai ser com a Joan Crawford.

Rachel Weisz poderá voltar também...

 

Finally another actress who has been on our radar all year is Rachel Weisz in “The Whistleblower.” The only reaction I’ve stumbled across (though I admittedly haven’t looked hard) is Scott Feinberg’s' date=' who says the film “could certainly thrust Weisz into the thick of the best actress race” if a distributor bites.
