The 64th Cannes Film Festival wrapped on May 22nd and two of its standout films, the whimsical Midnight in Paris by Woody Allen and the resplendent The Tree of Life by enigmatic director Terrence Malick have already opened in New York. Here's a look at both films:
On the back of Woody Allen and his cast's star power, Midnight in Paris opened Cannes. In recent years Allen, long known for films that reflect the quintessential wit of Manhattan, has left New York to shoot in London (Match Point, Scoop, Cassandra's Dream, and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger), Barcelona (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), and Rome (Bop Decameron, currently in production and slated for a 2012 release). Midnight in Paris marks Allen's first film in the City of Light, and he is determined to depict it in all of its brilliant mystery and glamour.
Tony Kaye, the Grammy award winning, London born, Director debuted his first feature film since Black Water Transit in 2009 at the Tribeca Film Festival recently.
Kaye already has an impressive back catalogue of films with his most notable being the critically acclaimed American History X, released in 1998. His latest venture, Detachment, tracks the lives of a series of high school students and teachers from the eyes of substitute teacher, Henry Barthes, played by Adrien Brody.
The drama depicts the American education system in high schools, particularly focussing on their decline. It covers an array of political and social issues encompassed in an intelligent and engaging storyline from screenwriter, Carl Lund.
