Fifty years after Jean-Luc Godard, Serge Bozon and the .young turks. of Cahiers du cinéma resolved that the best way to criticize movies was to make their own films. The result was the creation of another exciting .new wave. of critic-filmmakers, hailing from the iconoclastic film magazine La lettre du cinéma(1997-2005), boldly storming the gates of the French film establishment.
The Film Society of Lincoln Center brings writer, director, actor and DJ, Serge Bozon to New York to present this first major North American survey of films by the Lettre du cinéma circle as well as to curate and present a series of screenings of rarities (along with Anthology Film Archives) that have influenced his work. Also introducing and discussing their films will be his fellow filmmakers, Jean-Charles Fitoussi and Aurélia Georges. And if that weren.t enough, Bozon will also put his DJ skills on display,...

Apart from Lee Daniel's pegged for Oscar - Precious, Lone Scherfig's An Education, Lars von Trier's Antichrist and Pedro Almodóvar's Broken Embraces (Los abrasos rotos), this year's edition is filled to the gills with obscure titles and names that even a hardcore connoisseur of world cinema such as myself is unfamiliar with. - I've just completed an exhaustive 35 film slate at Tiff and I've got very little time to recharge the batteries for The Festival du nouveau cinéma.

Paris -- French actor Jocelyn Quivrin died in a car accident Sunday night outside of Paris. He was 30.
Quivrin was best-known for his recent roles in Jan Kounen's popular comedy "99 Francs," teen boxoffice sensation "Lol" opposite Sophie Marceau, and next appears in the December release "La Famille Wolberg."
The actor won the Cesar award for most promising newcomer in 2008 for his role in "99 Francs" and was awarded the first ever Patrick Deware prize for most promising actor that year.
Quivrin leaves behind his companion, French actress Alice Taglioni, and their son, born in March. Taglioni was driving in front of Quivrin on Sunday night then called the police when Quivrin didn't arrive home. The French film community is mourning the actor, and tributes to his career are being planned for the coming days.

- I haven't seen many Camera d'or contenders (first films in all sections go up for this unique award at Cannes) but this euro drama (ordinary people, authentic situations) from Axelle Ropert is an exception to the normal rule: The Wolberg Family is smart and the pacing is just right: slowly dispensing backstory that gives weight to the deep wounds each individual carries (all age groups included). The climax, a father's speech at a birthday party especially rings true and fulfills the promise of something worth seeing: I hope this finds a festival life. Full length review coming soon. Director Axelle Ropert. Matriarch: Valérie Benguigui Patriarch: François Damiens The whole family: Valérie Benguigui, François Damiens, Valentin Vigourt, Léopoldine Serre, Serge Bozon and vet actor Jean-Luc Bideau...

Nothing like a little war movie to bookend a day at the Cannes Film Festival. Lines began forming at the crack of dawn to see the first screening of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds this morning, and, still, many were shut out. (Erik Davis rounded up the first reactions from those who did manage to gain admittance.) Evening brought the glamour, as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie led a parade of celebrities down the fabled red carpet for the black-tie and gown gala presentation. As a cherry on top, Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell screened at midnight.
