Los Angeles (AFP) - Paramount Pictures' imaginary friend film "If" debuted atop the North American box office this weekend, taking in an estimated $35.0 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday. The John Krasinski-directed family comedy stars Cailey Fleming as a young girl who -- along with neighbor Ryan Reynolds -- embarks on an adventure to reconnect forgotten made-up playmates with their children. "This is a good opening for a live-action/animation hybrid, at above average levels for the genre," said analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research, adding the...

Cannes (France) (AFP) - Two Hollywood legends make their comeback at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, as Kevin Costner launched his sprawling self-funded Western and Demi Moore returned in a gore-filled body horror flick. The star-studded premieres arrive midway through the world's most famous movie festival, where "Emilia Perez" -- a musical about a transgender drug lord, starring Selena Gomez -- is currently the talk of the town. Epic Western "Horizon, an American Saga" is a passion project for Costner, who told AFP he had started working on the screenplay in 1988. Despite having enormous...

You are not ready for this one... Cannes mainstay Jacques Audiard returns to the Competition with a Spanish-language melodrama about Mexican cartel boss Manitas (Karla Sofía Gascón), who wants to become a woman. In order to do so undetected from the criminal underworld, he kidnaps a lawyer, Rita (Zoé Saldaña), who is tired of defending violent husbands in a corrupt system that leaves “a taste of shit” in her mouth.

By Huw GRIFFITH Burbank (États-Unis) (AFP) - Des boites métalliques rondes, stockées du sol au plafond. Dans ces salles à l'humidité contrôlée près de Los Angeles, une poignée de spécialistes travaillent à la conservation d'un million de bobines qui constituent la mémoire aussi précieuse que fragile d'Hollywood. Pendant que les stars du moment montent les marches à Cannes, de petites mains à l'autre bout du monde livrent dans l'ombre une bataille contre le temps: sauvegarder pour les grands studios des kilomètres de pellicules d'originaux de chefs-d'oeuvre du cinéma américain. La grande peur, ...

Burbank (United States) (AFP) - Reels of film and the Hollywood stars who fill them share one common enemy: aging. But while an actor can go under the knife or get a bit of filler in an effort to stay young, it's a one-way street for film, which eventually starts to break down into its original -- rather prosaic -- ingredients. "Film base is actually wood pulp and acetic acid in its simplest form," says Tim Knapp of California-based film preservation specialists Pro-Tek Vaults. "Acetic acid over time produces what is called 'vinegar syndrome' which degrades the base of the film... and prevent...

After the box office draw and acclaim of The Favourite and Poor Things, Yórgos Lánthimos reunites with his long-time writing partner Efthimis Filippou (Dogtooth, The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) for a strange anthology triptych that is darker and far more surreal than his recent output. Kinds of Kindness tells three distinct stories using the same acting troupe in different roles, and it’ll prove divisive for fans of The Favourite and last year’s Poor Things. This triple helping of Lanthimos’ return to his Greek Weird Wave roots is for the OG fans - those who miss that queasy malaise...

Cannes (France) (AFP) - As one of the West's most famous Buddhists, and a close friend of the Dalai Lama, Richard Gere has thought long and hard about the moral quandary at the heart of his new film "Oh, Canada". Gere plays Leonard Fife, a revered documentary filmmaker with a murky past, who is hailed as a hero for his refusal to fight in the Vietnam War. "Whether it is a just or unjust war, can I kill someone? What do I do to defend our family?... We all ask ourselves that question," Gere said at Cannes Film Festival on Saturday. According to his Buddhist studies, "from an absolute point of ...

Cannes (AFP) - Emma Stone a déclaré samedi à Cannes que son réalisateur fétiche Yorgos Lanthimos, avec lequel elle travaille depuis longtemps et a remporté un Oscar ("Pauvres créatures"), était en quelque sorte sa muse. Et non l'inverse. "C'est lui ma muse", a souri l'actrice pendant la conférence de presse du film "Kinds of Kindness", en compétition. "Je suis une féministe", a déclaré l'actrice de "La La land", interrogée sur le sujet. "Si c'est du militantisme ou pas ? C'est juste ce qui a du sens pour moi". Quand elle choisit un film, c'est parce qu'elle "trouve les personnages intéressants...

Celebrated British director Andrea Arnold is no stranger to Cannes. Three of her five feature films have won the Jury Prize award (Red Road, Fish Tank and American Honey) and this year, she’s already taking home the Carrosse d’Or, which recognises the career of innovative filmmakers. And there’s a strong case to be made for her making it a double win – maybe finally the top gong? For her new film Bird, she teams up with the ubiquitous double act Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogowski, and newcomer Nykiya Adams, who plays 12-year-old Bailey. We meet her sharing a moment with a seagull. A brief window...

According to a new study, the best European cities for culture vultures are Paris and London. No surprises there - and we do have a lot of London-based recommendations for you this week - but putting this digest together also makes us realise just how many wonderful exhibitions and events take place in every pocket of this continent. Did you know, for example, there was an entire parade dedicated to cats in Ypres, Belgium last weekend? Yeah, we wish we'd been there too. There's also a brand new exhibition dedicated to 20th century icon Mark Rothko's paper paintings that just opened at Oslo's N...
