“So one thing from another rises ever; and in fee-simple life is given to none, but unto all mere usufruct.” – Lucretius, On the Nature of Things, Book III
The above quote was once used by great Italian documentarian Franco Piavoli to open his masterful 1982 film, The Blue Planet. In that instance, it is deftly applied to the fragility of mother nature; her various granting and reclaiming of life, but can just as easily be applied to the figures followed by Roberto Minervini, an Italian based in the United States whose acclaimed Texas Trilogy – The Passage, Low Tide and Stop the Pounding Heart – was followed up at Cannes this year by The Other Side, which shifts the director’s gaze slightly eastward to the state of Louisiana. One must assume that Minervini, despite blazing his own trail that has led him through the Philippines and Spain en route to America’s Southern states,...

“It’s a hard world for little things,” said Lillian Gish’s Rachel Cooper in Charles Laughton’s masterpiece Night of the Hunter. The same goes for our four-legged furry friends in director Kornél Mundruczó’s White God, a thinly veiled allegory of class struggles in modern-day Hungary. While fascinating and at times gripping, this primarily canine-centric drama ultimately falls flat when it shifts focus to its human characters, resulting in an uneven if ambitious film about humanity’s true place in the animal kingdom.
When Lili (Zsófia Psotta) is forced by circumstances to live with her estranged father (Sándor Zsótér), she comes into conflict with him over her pet dog Hagen, who is classified as a “mongrel” by the authorities.

YouTube beauty and fashion guru Rachel Cooper (aka RachhLoves on the world’s largest video sharing site) is getting a web series order north of the border. Canada’s Corus Entertainment’s W Network tapped the StyleHaul partner and burgeoning online video star with more than 400,000 YouTube subscribers to host at least eight episodes of Get Ready With Rachel. Produced by Toronto-based Rtr Media, the program will feature Cooper helping audiences prepare for big life events (like weddings, first days of school, birthday parties, pumpkin patch day trips, etc.), many of which she’s already touched on in her YouTube series “Get Ready With Me!”. Get Ready With Rachel will be released on W Network’s online video destination, but the idea is it could eventually get some play on another entertainment medium. The series is produced with the support of Bell Fund’s TV Development Online Program, according to StreamDaily.

Director Charles Laughton’s and screenwriter James Agee’s adaptation of the novel The Night of the Hunter has become a reverently admired and extremely influential film in the 60 years since the ‘failure’ of its initial release. The film has placed very highly in many international critical polls, including Cahier du Cinema’s 2007 listing of the ‘100 Most Beautiful Films’, where it sits at #2. Many filmmakers have cited it as a key inspiration, and Steven Spielberg showed it to the crew of E.T. in order to help them understand the child’s perspective from which he wanted the film to be told. It was even re-made as a virtually unwatchable 1991 TV movie with Richard Chamberlain as Harry Powell, and a musical stage version was created in the late ‘90s for which a soundtrack CD is available.
Perhaps the most important indication of the esteem in which the film is now held...
