Sophia Loren is recovering from emergency surgery for a fractured hip following a fall on Sunday in her home in Geneva, Switzerland.
Italy’s most famous living movie star, who turned 89 on Sept. 20, suffered several fractures after accidentally falling at home on Sunday morning, according to multiple reports. On Sunday afternoon, “Sophia was operated with positive outcome and will now have to undergo a brief period of convalescence followed by a complete rehabilitation,” said Italian national news agency Ansa.
She sustained “serious fractures” to different parts of her hip and femur, according to her agent Andrea Giusti who confirmed that both Loren’s sons, Carlo and Edoardo Ponti, were at her bedside. “The surgery went perfectly and we only need to wait,” Giusti told Variety in an email.

If 2021 has been a calvacade of bad decisions, dashed hopes, and warning signs for cinema’s strength, the Criterion Channel’s monthly programming has at least buttressed our hopes for something like a better tomorrow. Anyway. The Channel will let us ride out distended (holi)days in the family home with an extensive Alfred Hitchcock series to bring the family together—from the established Rear Window and Vertigo to the (let’s just guess) lesser-seen Downhill and Young and Innocent—Johnnie To’s Throw Down and Orson Welles’ The Magnificent Ambersons in their Criterion editions, and some streaming premieres: Ste. Anne, Lydia Lunch: The War is Never Over, and The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love.

With it being seven years since his last live-action film, 2014’s The Grand Budapast Hotel, Wes Anderson is hard at work. Following a Cannes premiere, The French Dispatch finally arrives in limited theaters on October 22 followed by a wide release the following week, and he’s already shooting his next film (recently revealed to have the title Asteroid City) outside of Madrid with Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, Rupert Friend, Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Hope Davis, Jeffrey Wright, Liev Schreiber, Tony Revolori, and Matt Dillon.
As is the case with all of his work, Wes Anderson synthesizes cinema history in his own specific language and for The French Dispatch he has provided a list of influences. As revealed in a promotional book sent to The Flim Stage and styled after the film’s magazine, 32 films are listed that “provided inspiration to the filmmakers,...

Sophia Loren is generating red-hot Oscar buzz for her performance in Netflix’s Italian-language drama “The Life Ahead.” The screen legend has earned some of the best reviews of her seven-decade career for her heartbreaking performance as a former prostitute and Holocaust survivor who takes care of children of streetwalkers.
Loren made Oscar history 59 years ago when she became the first performer to receive an Academy Award for a foreign-language film. She took home Best Actress for Vittorio DeSica’s harrowing World War II drama “Two Women,” which was also in Italian. Loren, who also starred with Charlton Heston that year in the lavish epic “El Cid,” had very strong competition when the Oscar nominations were announced in the winter of 1962.

It is staggering to think that Sophia Loren has been making movies for 70 years, initially appearing uncredited in such films as 1950’s “Tototarzan” and “Quo Vadis” before becoming a full-fledged star in mentor Vittorio De Sica’s 1954 comedy anthology “The Gold of Naples.” And she became the first performer to win an Oscar for a foreign language film for De Sica’s harrowing World War II drama “Two Women,” which opened in the U.S. in 1961. She received two more Oscar nominations for Italian productions: DeSica’s “Marriage Italian Style” and Ettore Scala’s 1977 “A Special Day.”
After a decade’s hiatus from features, Loren has made a triumphant return to film in her son Edoardo Ponti’s poignant “The Life Ahead,” currently streaming on Netflix.

Time has not diminished the beauty and talent of Sophia Loren, who is garnering Oscar buzz for her acclaimed performance in the Netflix drama “The Life Ahead,” directed and co-adapted by her son Edoardo Ponti from Romain Gary’s 1975 bestseller “The Life Before Us.” The 86-year-old Oscar-winner (“Two Women”) plays Madame Rosa, a former prostitute and Holocaust survivor who lives in Naples where she takes care of children of streetwalkers including the rebellious Momo.
Loren has been a star for over 65 years, but her early life was anything but idyllic. She was born in a charity ward in a hospital in Rome. Her parents never married, and her father left her, her mother and younger sister Romida-who married Mussolini’s son. Loren and her family grew up poor as church mice in Pozzuoli, a small town outside of Naples.
Stunningly beautiful at an early age and at 14, Loren came in...

Near the top of most cinephile’s highly-anticipated films of 2020 was Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch. Set to world premiere at Cannes Film Festival and then roll out in theaters this past summer, the pandemic hit and plans shifted to a fall release, until Disney/Searchlight lifted it off their calendar entirely and have confirmed it will not arrive until 2021. While Covid-19 has meant the world will have to wait a little longer to see his star-studded adventure, it looks like the director is keeping busy himself.
Wes Anderson is now eying a spring shoot for his next feature film. Word first cropped up in a Producton Weekly listing about two weeks ago and we’ve been waiting to see if more details arrived before reporting. Now, more confirmation has come in. First, Italian journalist Gianmaria Tammaro has revealed that a Rome shoot is planned for the project. Then...

The Video Essay is a joint project of Mubi and Filmadrid Festival Internacional de Cine. Film analysis and criticism found a completely new and innovative path with the arrival of the video essay, a relatively recent form that already has its own masters and is becoming increasingly popular. The limits of this discipline are constantly expanding; new essayists are finding innovative ways to study the history of cinema working with images. With this non-competitive section of the festival both Mubi and Filmadrid will offer the platform and visibility the video essay deserves. The seven selected works will be shown during the dates of Filmadrid (June 8 - 17, 2017) on Mubi’s cinema publication, the Notebook. Also there will be a free public screening of the selected works during the festival. The selection was made by the programmers of Mubi and Filmadrid.Telefoni NeriA video essay by Hannah LeißAs a reaction to the...

After The Fox, a sunny mid-sixties farce about con-artists and movie-makers, boasts a powerhouse pedigree featuring leading men Peter Sellers and Victor Mature, a script by Neil Simon and Cesare Zavattini, music by Burt Bacharach, poster art from Frank Frazetta and the legendary director/actor/gambler Vittorio De Sica at the helm.
With such diverse talent on board, the film was somewhat misleadingly promoted as another in the line of 60’s screwball hipster comedies like Casino Royale and What’s New Pussycat. But the result is closer to De Sica’s laid back charmers from the ‘50s, Miracle in Milan and Gold of Naples (in fact,...

Streamlined Rome Film Fest sees inevitable drop in box office and attendance but puts on a good show; Mia launches with scope for content growth.
The Rome International Film Festival’s 10th edition concluded on Saturday (Oct 24) with Pan Nalin’s female “buddy” movie Angry Indian Goddesses winning the sole prize of the event - The Bnl People’s Choice Award.
The director, who also made India’s highest-grossing documentary, Ayurveda: Art of Being, continued his successful festival run after securing second place for Toronto International Film Festival’s People’s Choice Award, behind Lenny Abrahamson’s Room.
Both films were once again pitted against each other in the eternal city, with the heartwarming Goa-based drama this time winning out.

Update: Jeff Goldblum has told Nerdist that he will lend his voice to the stop-motion animation as well as Bob Balaban, Edward Norton, and Bryan Cranston — playing a pack of dogs — and that it will be “Japanese-inspired,” although no further details beyond that were given. Check out the original story below.
Considering the fairly quick turnaround from Moonrise Kingdom to The Grand Budapest Hotel, one might have hoped a similar timetable was in store for Wes Anderson’s feature, but 18 months since the release of the latter, it’s clear that won’t be the case. The only hint of a potential new film arrived about a year ago when we learned he was considering a return to stop-motion animation for a multi-episode project that found inspiration in Vittorio De Sica‘s six-part, 1954 anthology picture The Gold of Naples.

After the success of The Grand Budapest Hotel, Wes Anderson is returning to the world of stop-motion animation.
The Playlist reports that Anderson’s next film will be another stop-motion animation film and will be about dogs. Anderson previously used stop-motion animation for his film, Fantastic Mr. Fox.
According to the site, the only plot details reveal that the project is about dogs. It is in pre-production now with other story details under wraps right now.
The site also mentions that Anderson wanted to make an anthology film in the vein of Victoria De Sica’s The Gold of Naples, which he recently presented at the Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival. Anderson said that this type of project is something he is really interested in.
“I’ve always been interested in this form of a movie that’s a collection of stories and often [anthology films] are uneven, usually there’s a different director doing each segment.

It had been so long since I last saw Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves—the last time being long before I started to become involved with movie posters—that I had forgotten that Antonio Ricci’s job at the start of the film, the job he so desperately needs a bicycle for, is pasting up movie posters.Researching De Sica posters to coincide with the current month-long restrospective at New York’s Film Forum I discovered that De Sica’s most famous film centers—as does the Shawshank Redemption, coincidentally—on a poster of Rita Hayworth. I had hoped that it would be a poster by Anselmo Ballester, who painted Hayworth gloriously many times, but the signature on the top right of the poster is clearly that of one T. Corbella. Tito Corbella (1885-1966) was an artist known for his sensuous portraits of Italian divas since the 1910s. Dave Kehr...

Wes Anderson is riding high. His latest, THe Grand Budapest Hotel, not only won massive critical acclaim, but also landed the title of the highest domestic indie film of 2014. So what will the man behind Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom do next? It's looking like a return to animation, but with an unexpected inspiration. The Playlist reveals that Wes Anderson is in the works at developing a stop-motion animated effort, which would be his second following The Fantastic Mr. Fox. While Anderson isn't yet unveiling a potential title for the picture, he has confessed that its structure will be inspired by Italian neorealist and filmmaker Vittorio De Sica. More specifically, this unnamed animated film will mimic the structure of De Sica's 1954 dramedy The Gold of Naples. For those unfamiliar with The Gold of Naples, it is a film that pays tribute to its titular Italian city by presenting...

Wes Anderson is one of the more polarizing directors working today. It seems that you either enjoy his quirky, stylized vision of the world and the people in it, or you don’t. The public does seem to be enjoying him right now, though. With the critical success of The Grand Budapest Hotel, many of us (myself included) are waiting to see what Anderson will choose to develop next. Now we might have some answers, and they are not quite what you’d expect.
According to details that Anderson made public at the Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival (via The Film Stage), the director’s next port of call will be back in the world of stop-motion animation. Now, this might come as no surprise. After Fantastic Mr. Fox, it was only a matter of time before Anderson returned to that world. What is a surprise is Anderson’s inspiration and...

Wes Anderson has been making some of his best work over the past several years, and I think a lot of that has to do with his exposure to stop motion animation. Fantastic Mr. Fox was a film that took Anderson's diorama approach to a literal diorama, and it turned into a fantastic film. His next to projects, Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, may not have been in stop motion, but he certainly took methods he learned from there and implemented them. Well, c7ema is reporting (via The Playlist) Anderson will return to stop motion with one of his next films, which he revealed at a QandA at the Lisbon and Estoril Film Festival. The film, he says, is to be divided into several episodes, inspired by the anthology structure of The Gold of Naples by legendary Italian director Vittorio De Sica. Anderson's last three outings have all been outstanding efforts,...

He previously used stop-motion in his 2009 adaptation of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox.
Anderson's most recent release was this year's The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Sophia Loren: "I had never gone to theatre school or taken acting lessons but I did the best I could." Photo: Richard Mowe
A vision in a shimmering white trouser suit and cascading curls, Sophia Loren has appeared in person at this year’s Cannes Film Festival with reserves of good grace, tears at the memory of Marcello Mastroianni (this year’s iconic poster image) and some self-deprecating humour.
Her hard-luck beginnings in Naples where the family, with a frequently absent father, had to scrape a living to keep body soul together were, she says, “the saddest time of my life.”
All that changed, of course, when she met Vittorio De Sica in 1954, leading to a collaboration that spanned more than 14 films over 20 years, including Gold Of Naples and Marriage Italian Style, shown in restored copies at the Festival.
