(1) Emma Watson continues to spread her wings and take on unique roles. The Bling Ring, which opened the "Un Certain Regard" category yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival, explores the interesting and prevalent topic of Los Angeles and celebrity influence on American culture.
(2) On top of being the lead actor, he's both the director and screenwriter. James Franco translates paper to screen in the psychological gritty drama As I Lay Dying.
(3) Nicolas Winding Refn teams up again with Ryan Gosling in their new collaboration Only God Forgives. The look of the film had me hooked from the get go. Shot only at night, the glaring red monochromatic lighting has a similarity to the thrilling neon-lit quality of their previous collaboration Drive (2011).
(4) I'm no Coen Brother expert (have only seen Fargo and No Country For Old Men), but I'm used the usual hard-edged and grisly style typically found in a Coen Brothers film. However this quiet and grim trailer still has the charming Coen Brother humour I like. Inside Llewyn Davis follows a week in the life of musician Llewyn Davis, as he navigates New York's music scene, and his own personal demons, during the winter of 1961.
