D.A. Pennebaker puts cinema verité on the map with his terrific up-close docu portrait of Bob Dylan as he runs from concert appearances to hotels, cutting up with his friends, practicing with Joan Baez and giving reporters grief. Criterion’s extras give us the best look yet at Pennebaker’s innovative approach: don’t direct, observe. Dont Look...
In Michael Villagante's recent oil paintings, the artist's distinct texture and ability to evoke past masters and mythology shine. A recent body of work, under the title of "Higher Ground" in a recent show at Art Verité in his native Philippines, takes his work in a direction that offers more peace than turmoil, even as the human body is overtaken by the surrounding elements.
East-German postcard by VEB Progress Film-Vertrieb, Berlin, nr. 3009, 1967 . Retail Price: 0,20 DM. Photo: Steffen. Acclaimed French actress Marie-José Nat (1940) is an alluring, dark-haired stage, film and television star, often in glamorous, exotic roles. Marie-José Nat was born Mary-José Benhalassa in Bonifacio, Corsica, in 1940. She started out in 1955 after winning a photo contest and working as a high-fashion model. The following year, she made her film debut in the short Soir de réveillon (1956, Gilles Margaritis) opposite Sami Frey, and she appeared in her first feature film, Crime et châtiment/Crime and Punishment (1956, Georges Lampin). Among her notable works in cinema are Rue des prairies/ Rue de Paris (1959, Denys de La Patellière) as Jean Gabin’s daughter, La Verité/The Truth (1960, Henri-Georges Clouzot) as the sister of Brigitte Bardot, and La Vie Conjugale/Anatomy of a Marriage (1963, André Cayatte). In this domestic drama a married couple presents in two separate films their separate views on the state of their marriage. The films are titled Jean-Marc ou La vie conjugale/My Days with Jean-Marc and Françoise ou La vie conjugale/My Nights with Francoise. Writer-director Michel Drach contacted Marie-José Nat in 1960 to play in his film Amélie ou le temps d'aimer/Amelie or The Time to Love (1961). The two fell in love, and they married in 1964. Marie’José starred in his films Elise ou la Vraie Vie/Elise, or Real Life (1970), Les violons du bal/Violins At The Ball (1974), and Passé simple/Replay (1977). Les violons du bal concerns Michel Drach’s childhood experiences during World War II. For her performance in this film Marie-José Nat was awarded Best Actress at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival, and the film was nominated for the Golden Palm award. In 1977, during the shooting of Passé simple, she met actor Victor Lanoux, who would become her new husband. With Lanoux she would often work in the theatre, and later also on television. Among her later films are La nuit du destin/Night of Destiny (1997, Abdelkrim Bahloul), Train de vie/Train of Life (1998, Radu Mihaileanu) and Le cadeau d'Elena/Elena’s Gift (2004, Frédéric Graziani). Nat married four times: first to actor Roger Dumas (1960-1961), then to Michel Drach (1964-1981) and subseqently to Victor Lanoux, and since 2005, to painter-author Serge Rezvani. With Drach she has three children, director David Drach, actor Julien Drach and actor Aurelien Drach. Marie-José Nat published in 2006 a memoir Je n'ai pas oublié/I didn’t forget. Currently she divides her time between Paris and Bonifacio, her birthtown in Corsica where, as the most prominent resident, she is known as the ‘queen of the town.’ Sources: Ciné Resosources, All Movie Guide, Wikipedia and IMDb.
GREY GARDENS Dates: March 6 - 12 Showtimes: DAILY (except SAT/SUN/MON) 12:40, 2:50, 5:10, 7:10, 9:20 SAT 12:40, 2:50, 7:50, 9:50 SUN 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00 MON 12:40, 2:50, 7:50, 9:50 Subheadlines: NEW RESTORATION A film by David Maysles, Albert Maysles, Ellen Hovde, Muffie Meyer & Susan Froemke Text: (1976) Mrs. Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edie, aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, live in a world of their own behind the brambles that surround their decaying 28- room East Hampton mansion known as “Grey Gardens,” where raccoons and cats prowl about and handymen drop by to cadge odd jobs. Mrs. Beale, aka “Big Edie,” was a born aristocrat, sister of “Black Jack” Bouvier, Jackie O’s father. “Little Edie” was a model and aspiring actress of striking beauty who put her New York career on hold to care for her aging mother — and never went back. Together they descended into a strange life of recrimination and companionship. Little Edie — a still-attractive woman at 56 – parades about coquettishly in fishnet stockings, bathing suit and improvised turban, feeds the raccoons in the attic, and breaks out into impromptu song-and-dance routines, never losing hope that her Big Chance and Big Romance are still just around the corner. While semi-invalid Big Edie, a trained soprano in bohemian days, trills romantic songs of yesteryear in a slightly wobbly, but still rich voice, as she cooks corn on the cob perched up in bed. The women bicker like characters out of Tennessee Williams or Eugene O’Neill — with a nod to Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? In the wake of eviction threat headlines, Albert and David Maysles (Salesman, Gimme Shelter) brought their Direct Cinema approach to Grey Gardens for a five-week shoot, with the resulting 50 hours of footage edited by co-filmmakers Hovde, Meyer and Froemke into a cinéma verité epic. Approx. 95 min. DCP restoration A JANUS FILMS RELEASE Reviews: “AN INSTANT CULT CLASSIC! HALF MAD AND COMPLETELY COMPELLING!” – Nathan Lee, The New York Times “A STUNNER: HALF HUMOROUS, HALF HORRIFIC AND 100% MESMERIZING... UPSTAGES ANYTHING IN PINK FLAMINGOS!” – New York Post “It’s sad, it’s funny, it’s disturbing — but Grey Gardens reminds us that the camera can be used for dramatic effect, even when the drama is rooted in real life.” – Arthur Knight “It’s about two classic eccentrics who refuse to live the way they’re supposed to, but by the film’s end we see that they live fully, in ways of their own choosing... And out of this existence comes a movie that, curiously enough, is comic and bright, as well as sobering.” – Roger Ebert “A stark, haunting documentary, which like both Beales has grown more bizarre and commanding with age.” – Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Gnonnas Pedro et Ses Dadjes - La Musica en Verité Analog Africa No.5 - LEGENDS OF BENIN Afro Funk - Cavacha - Agbadja - Afro-Beat Legends of Benin is a collection of super rare and highly danceable masterpieces recorded between 1969-1981 by four legendary composers from Benin: - Gnonnas Pedro et Ses Dadjes - Antoine Dougbé - El Rego et Ses Commandos - Honoré Avolonto Each one of them with their own distinctive sound. What you are going to hear here is a thick brew of Agbadja, Soul, Cavacha, Funk, Afro-Beat, AfroLatin Sounds all mixed in with Heavy Traditional Rhythms - distinctively Beninese Sound! Gnonnas Pedro et Ses Dadjes - Le roi de l'Agbadja Moderne Gnonnas Pedro had always excelled in many styles of music but if one had to associate him with a particular genre it would be Agbadja. Agbadja is a rhythm hugely popular in Togo, Benin and Ghana. Its based on three percussion, each one of them with a different tone. The 'epicenter' of that rhythm is a region called Le Mono, located in the Center of Benin and birthplace of Gnonnas Pedro. It's a rhythm used mainly during burial ceremonies. Gnonnas adopted and modernised it in the mid-60's calling it 'Agbadja Modern'. It became his trade mark and he was soon dubbed 'Le Roi du Rhythme Agbadja'. The track Dadje Von O Von Non was originally recorded in 1966 and is Gnonnas first modern rendition of Agbadja. Also featured here is the crazy kick-ass funk track Okpo Videa Bassouo recorded in 1973, as well as the sublimly contagious track La Musica en Verite. Honoré Avolonto - Afro-Beat Beninois Honoré Avolonto started his career 40 years ago as a percussionist. The young 'Tumba' player went onto become one of Benin most prolific composer. ' I was composing so many tunes that some producers would run out of cash and pay me with goods instead, I remember receiving a torch for a song once'. Avolonto composer Benin's most successful LP (No Title - SAT 143) which was recorded for the Satel music Label in the late 70s. That album was recorded with the Black Santiago a band fronted by Amazing trumpetist Ignace De Souza, another Legend, with whom he recorded the Afro-Beat track Dou Dagbe We few years earlier (included here). Avolonto has fronted some of Benin's most powerful bands and some of those 'partnerships' with Orchestre Poly-Rythmo and Les Commandos are presented here. Beware - Killer Afro-beat meets Frenetic Funk El Rego et Ses Commandos - Cotonou Funk In recent years El Rego et Ses commandos vinyl records have taken the Funk DJ scene by storm with some incredible stuff released on Albarika Store and Aux Ecoutes released in the early 70s. For at least a year my label was operating solely on money generated from El Rego records sold to Djs and collectors, so when I decided to release music from Benin, it was a natural that El Rego would be the first artist from that country I would seek to get the licensing rights for. This compilation includes Benin's first afro-soul-funk track (call it what you like) recorded by El Rego with the support of a Ghanean singer Called Eddy Black Power. The 'Jerk' Scene in Benin was triggered by the success generated by the phenomenal song Feeling you got, which had an infectious accordion riff that did not seem to surprise anyone in Benin as musically anything was possible at the time. As a consequence Bands started composing tunes on the model of that song - Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou being one of them, and that's how the crazy funk scene started. E Nan Mian Nuku is an Afro Latin tune combined with a kind of Bossa Nova. Lst but not least we've included Vimado Wingnan, Benin's most sought after Funk track and understandably so Antoine Dougbé - Afro Cavacha Orchestre Poly-Rythmo not only composed and recorded hundred of songs but they still found time to arrange and record for other artist, one of them being 'Le ministre du Diable' - Antoine Dougbé. From all the artists here, Dougbé is the least known even in Benin, but the quality and the power of his composition makes him my personal legend. One thing for sure, he created his own style which he dubbed Afro Cavacha. Its a fantastic mixture of Congolese Rumba, Latin Sounds and Traditonal Vodoun Rhythms - A crazy Melting pot if you prefere. And last but not least….never leave an Antoine Dougbé vinyl record behind, Especially not the ones released on his own label, Editions Dougbé Antoine. They are incredible and have become some of Africa's most sought after collector's item. This compilation comes with a 44 page full colour booklet with ultra rare pictures and biographies. Enjoy the mind-blowing sound of Benin.
