George Lucas, the iconic filmmaker behind the “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” franchises, will receive the Honorary Palme d’Or on May 25 during the closing ceremony of the 77th Cannes Film Festival.

“The Festival de Cannes has always held a special place in my heart,” Lucas said in a statement. “I was surprised and elated when my first film, ‘THX-1138,’ was selected to be shown in a new program for first time directors called the Directors’ Fortnight. Since then, I have returned to the festival on many occasions in a variety of capacities as a writer, director and producer. I am truly honored by this special recognition which means a great deal to me.”

On the Life and Work of Acclaimed Iranian Filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami

Speaking to critic and scholar Godfrey Cheshire ahead of the Belcourt’s Abbas Kiarostami: A Retrospective

CRAIG D. LINDSEY OCT 10, 2019

Where Is the Friend’s Home?

On Oct. 11, the Belcourt will host a two-week retrospective dedicated to the features and shorts of late Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. This traveling tribute will feature 2K and 4K restorations of Kiarostami’s most poignant, most enigmatic, most essential work, including his acclaimed Koker Trilogy (Where Is the Friend’s Home?, And Life Goes On and Through the Olive Trees) and Taste of Cherry, the latter of which was awarded the Palme d’Or at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival.

And who better to talk with about Kiarostami than Godfrey Cheshire, the film critic/writer/filmmaker who knew him best? Quite possibly the foremost stateside authority on Iranian cinema, Cheshire (who has written for The New York Times, New York Press, Film Comment and RogerEbert.com) had a bond with the filmmaker that began back in the ’90s. The interviews they did over the years have now been collected in a new book, Conversations With Kiarostami. (He has another book, In the Time of Kiarostami: Writings on Iranian Cinema, scheduled for release next year.) Cheshire also served as a consultant on the retrospective, which — before coming to Nashville — showed in Los Angeles, New York City and elsewhere. He answered our questions via email.

OK, this retrospective. How did it come about, and how did you get roped into it?

In 2017, following Kiarostami’s death the previous year, the French company mk2 acquired the rights to almost all of his films and embarked on a two-year restoration project in collaboration with the U.S. company Janus Films/Criterion Collection. Ahmad Kiarostami, the director’s son, told Janus/Criterion that they should work with me because I’m virtually the only person in the U.S. who knows about the many films in the first third of Kiarostami’s career. That’s partly due to the interviews I did with him that are in my book. I have worked with Criterion on the DVD releases of Close-Up, Taste of Cherry, Certified Copy and the new Koker Trilogy box set.

Taste of Cherry

While I was reading your book, I was taken aback by how serious he was as an artist — but it seemed he could take or leave filmmaking. He said he wasn’t a big cinephile. There’s that story where he won the Palme d’Or at Cannes for Taste of Cherry and said he felt “nothing.” Considering his love for poetry and photography, what can you say is the thing that drove him to be a filmmaker?

I think filmmaking was his primary focus because it combined all of the qualities of the other arts and interests he had. It was visual and auditory, but also could be poetic, psychological, dramatic, philosophical and so on.

Kiarostami said there are Iranian filmmakers far more successful than he. In your opinion, what is it about Kiarostami that makes him such an emblematic figure in Iranian cinema?

When I first visited Iran in the late ’90s, I learned that many Iranians didn’t consider him their greatest director. I think he gradually became recognized as such when critics and audiences in other parts of the world embraced the films of his middle period, due to their very subtle and psychologically astute stories and distinctively poetic film language.

In the book, you break down his career into three periods: his work with the Institute for Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (better known as Kanoon), his Koker Trilogy/Masterworks period, and his experimental later-years period. What are the essentials from each period?

In the first period, you see an artist who has a very strong sense of a poetic kind of cinema (evident in his first four films, the shorts “The Bread and Alley” and “Breaktime,” the short feature The Experience and the feature The Traveler) and one who is also experimenting in various ways while mainly making films about children and teenagers. In the second period, he demonstrates a kind of mastery that has emerged from his earlier work while making films, mostly about adults, that continued to make artistic leaps. In the third period, it’s like he ceased to care about making masterpieces and returned to the more personal, low-key and experimental aspects of his first period. The experimentation here included making films in other countries and languages, Certified Copy (Italy) and Like Someone in Love (Japan).

And Life Goes On

As you continued to explore Iranian cinema and continued your relationship with Kiarostami, did it start to become a kindred-spirit thing where both of you had the same mission — to show the most ambitious cinema Iran has to offer?

I think our friendship, which began in 1994 and continued until his death, was a kind of kindred-spirits relationship. It had to do with the fact that he realized that I’d studied his films in detail, but it also was just personal — I liked him and he liked me. I would say that I had (and have) a mission to tell people about the genius of Iranian cinema and culture, while his only mission was to continue doing work that he considered challenging and meaningful.

What would you like people to take with them after attending this retrospective?

Recently in New Orleans, I spoke with a renowned art curator who said: “In the art world, Warhol was the last giant. In cinema, Kiarostami is the last giant.” I think you can certainly say that he was the last cinematic titan of the 20th century, the century of cinema. At the beginning of the 1990s, probably no American critic had ever heard of him; at the end of the ’90s, American critics polled by Film Comment voted him the decade’s most important filmmaker. I think people attending the retrospective will see the evidence of a multifaceted artist whose distinctively poetic way of filmmaking places him in the company of such figures as Chaplin, Welles, Rossellini, Bergman and Kurosawa.

Tinsel & Tine #MiniMovieReview - It’s impossible not to call this the projectile vomiting movie, although, there’s a lot more to it than that. It’s a fun, social satire on class systems, gender-based assumptions and a reminder that money can’t solve every issue. But the sea sickness scenes are just priceless. A luxury yacht experiencing turbulent weather during the captain’s dinner has the passengers spewing from both ends.

My favorite, a middle-aged actress, Sunnyi Melles, being tossed around the bathroom floor of her estate room, hurling each time she swings back passed the toilet, had me crying.

I can’t remember when I’ve laughed so hard at something so disgusting This is the Swedish writer/director Ruben Östlund’s first English-language film, which won him a second Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival, the first being THE SQUARE (2017) which I never got around to seeing, even though it features one of my girl crushes, Elisabeth Moss. I did see his film FORCE MAJEURE (2014) which was my introduction to the filmmaker during The Philadelphia Film Festival that year. It’s a shame the American remake DOWNHILL starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus & Will Ferrell (which I saw at Sundance 2020) didn’t employ the kind of subtleties and restraint of the original, but then if it did, I guess it wouldn’t be Americanized.

Triangle of Sadness is told in 3 parts. Sometimes this framing works really well, other times you feel like it ruins the momentum of a film. In this case, it’s a little of both. There’s a scene in the beginning of the movie that introduces us to two of the characters, as this ultimately becomes an ensemble film. The couple is made up of two young models, the female, Yaya (Charlbi Dean) is also an influencer, getting paid the big bucks to pretend she’s enjoying stuff on Instagram. The male, Carl (Harris Dickinson) isn’t as successful, still needing to audition for work. Yet, Yaya expects him to pick up the check for all their expensive dining. This turns into an interesting discussion/argument. Yet, it doesn’t really fit smoothly into the rest of the film; which is at least 20 minutes too long.

Side note: How sad is it that the actress/model Charlbi Dean died in real-life before this movie could be released! I keep trying to find out what a beautiful, healthy, young woman could have died of in such a short time, besides COVID, and if that was the case, it wouldn’t be a mystery. RIP

The 2nd part consists of the Luxury Yacht where we meet a cast of colorful 1%-ers ; some young, beautiful, all white crew – headed by (Vicki Berlin) a true Julie McCoy type (The Cruise Director on “The Love Boat” for any young readers); and the below deck crew, all non-white, mostly Latinx. Then the 3rd part takes place on an island where the tables get turned.

Q: Is that something that you’re generally interested in? Exploring how people react in extreme situations? Ruben Östlund: Yeah, definitely. I’ve been inspired by Marx’s theories that our behavior is very dependent on which position we have in a socioeconomic hierarchy.

All in All, this will definitely make my 2022 Nomination List for The Philadelphia Film Critics Circle Vote. “In Den Wolken!”T&T rating: 4 outta 5

Despite the fact that Bob Iger totally derailed Twin Peaks season 2, the episode where Laura’s killer is revealed is still one of my favorite episodes of television even if it was forced by the network. Which, if anything, is a testament to the talent of David Lynch and Mark Frost to be able to do that even against their wishes.

#and then lynch dipped won the palme d’or came back made the best episode of television history and then it was cancelled #and then he came back 25 years later and made the greatest season of television history #what a guy #twin peaks #david lynch #tv posting #for my followers who dont know lauras killer was never intended to he revealed but the studio forced their hand #another reason to hate bob iger #among many things

#he’s taking it #preferential voting…industry people constantly raving in public and private about TGM…#just me but it’s foolish to underestimate the academy on 2 fronts: 1) a movie that made them feel good 2) a career make up award #also no one has really brought up that the PGA is giving cruise their lifetime achievement award this year #like. imo to me the writing on the wall says they want to give him his flowers. that palme d’or kicked them in the ass.#if im wrong i never said this

living the fast life - Alexia Putellas

◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤

‘la reina’ and ‘il prescelto’ two women dominating their chosen sport.

Alexia Putellas a two-time ballon d’or winner Carmen Blanc the current formula one world champion.

Two women compared in the media could not be any close together.

(whenever they are speaking english besides in posts is spoke in spanish, it’s easier to write it this way than to translate everything!)

◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤

June 23rd 2024 (day of the Spanish Grand Prix)

@alexiapnews

alexiapnews: Alexia Putellas seen walking to the ferrari motorhome a head of the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix!

Carmen Blanc (ferrari driver) and the Barcelona midfielder have been linked multiple times during the duration of the last two years, no comments have been made in these rumours.

@yn.alexia: OMG THEY HAVE TO BE TOGETHER!

@fanusername1: girl let them live their lives.

@fanusername2: if they are together imagine the f1 x barcelona crossovers we could have!

@ferrarixfootball: 💙❤️🏎️

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

January 31st 2021 (Day of El Clásico)

It was winter break for Carmen Blanco, coming off the back of another successful season in Formula One, second in the Drivers Championship and Ferrari coming third in the Constructors Standings.

Unlike the other drivers on the grid, the Spaniard like to return home to her beloved home city of Barcelona instead of travelling to all four corners of the world.

Being born and raised in Barcelona, her love for football was a big factor in her off season. The Estadi Johan Cruyff might as well be her second home during the winter and summer off season.

Due to her status in the sport community, specifically women in sport, Carmen had been invited to meet the teams after the game.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

Following a staff member towards the locker rooms, the young lady began to feel her palms sweat. She would be meeting one of her idols.

Carmen had always admired Alexia, her loyalty to Barcelona mirrored that of Carmen’s towards Ferrari. Both women being part of breaking the barriers for women in male dominated sports.

Once she had reached the door, she reached up and knocked three times on the painted wood. Cheers and shouts of joy were heard from inside the changing room as the door was ripped open.

Standing face to face with ‘la reina’ was something she couldn’t believe she would be doing.

“Hola, you must be Carmen. I’m so happy we finally get to meet!”

@carmen.blanco

liked by alexiaputellas, marialeonn16 and 231,567 others

carmen.blanco: always a joy to be back home, this team has my heart. Forca Barca! ❤️💙

alexiaputellas: thank you for your support, it was amazing to meet you.

carmen.blanco: you too alexia, i was completely star struck!

fanuser1: ALEXIA AND CARMEN CROSSOVER!

carmenxf1: the two best women to do it.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

Over the past three months since being introduced Carmen and the players of Fc Barcelona Femení have all stayed in touch, but specifically the spanish captain and the driver.

Having met on multiple occasions for coffee and dog walks with Alexia’s pomeranian Nala and Carmens Dalmatian Lulu. The two had grown increasingly closer to each other.

Currently laid out on a sun lounger in the backyard of her Barcelona home, Carmen was trying to soak up the last of the Spanish sun before her race season begins. A ding interrupts her peace and she leans over to check her phone.

a delicate blush spreads across her cheeks as she rushes into the house to begin getting ready for the night, nervous for what the future holds for her and Alexia.

◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤

oops i realised that for the amount of social media posts i’ve made this is going to have to be a multiple part series.

This spans from January of 2021 to June if 2024 so we’ve got a lot to cover!

i can’t wait to get to Alexia’s first ballon d’or win and Carmen claiming for first formula 1 world championship.

I’m a sucker for a secret romance so 🤭
