Swedish film Jägarna - now released with English subtitles
Here is some good news - and a golden opportunity to watch a great
movie. A Swedish film that was originally only available with Finnish
and Norwegian subtitles - has now been released with the original
Swedish audio, and English subtitles.
"Jägarna" (The Hunters) is considered by many the best Swedish thriller
since Wideberg's "Mannen på taket" (Man on the roof).
It is unfortunate for the English-speaking world that the politics at SF
(Swedish Film) keep getting in the way of distributing great movies like
"Arn" (The Knight Templar) and "Män som hatar kvinnor" (The Girl with
the Dragon Tattoo) with English subtitles. I know some of you reading
this are Swedes living abroad who would like to share some Swedish
classics like "Utvandrarna" and "Äppelkriget" with friends where you
live. But without English subtitles, that is quite difficult.
My sources at SF tell me that what happened to this movie is not
unlikely what happened to "Den Osynlige" and "Insomnia." My guess is
that the folks at SF are all sitting in their tiny offices waiting for a
Hollywood producer to show interest in one of their titles... Well,
here's what I've learned happened to this movie.
Hollywood wanted to make a remake of "Jägarna." Kjell Sundvall was
positive to this as long as it was a "First Blood" type of film. But
the American producers who wanted to buy the rights wanted to make it
about cowboys in the Nevada desert, shooting horse for fun. Kjell
Sundvall didn't sell the rights after he heard this.
Want a few more movie suggestions?

*About DVD Regions
This section is for those of us who live and work in North America...
I know many of you have resorted to hooking up your notebook computers
to your TV sets every time you want to enjoy a foreign film. But you
don't really have to. Here are two International DVD Players I recommend:
(LINK <http://www.skandimport.com/?productID=1053>) * Pioneer, Region-Free
(LINK <http://www.skandimport.com/?productID=2134>) * Portable Magnavox,
Region-Free
Additional hardware is built-in to include all necessary decoders and
converters, so it's all plug-and-play. No messing around with secret
key-combinations on your remote control. Just plug it in and enjoy.
These players play both American and European DVDs on any American TV-set.

"City and Country, Boy and Man" links to diverse film sites and
offers original film and cultural commentaries.

Silence, Exile, and Cunning; or, Appreciations and Repudiations, Part
Two
"The NEA will receive $50 million to distribute to non-profit arts
organizations while the Smithsonian gets $25 million to repair its
facilities," reported The Art Newspaper, following President Obama's
signing of the stimulus package legislation, the recovery and
reinvestment act (Helen Stoilas, February 19, 2009). There were
worries, apparently, that the National Endowment for the Arts and
Smithsonian might be cut from the legislation. There have been
arguments, too, and elsewhere, for a cabinet post representing the
arts, a secretary of the arts, the equivalent of a culture minister,
an idea I'm sympathetic to, as culture connects with all aspects of
American life, public and private; and having a culture secretary or
minister could illuminate and support that: a culture representative
and department could connect what is occurring across the country, in
different states, and demonstrate how to incorporate culture in terms
of education, the economy, and social projects.
"As President Obama begins to put his personal stamp on public
debate, I think we can be hopeful that respect for the qualities that
liberal education aims to foster — moral and aesthetic sensitivity —
will rise. We can also be hopeful that academe, especially as an
engine of opportunity and a site of scientific research, will find a
friendlier partner in government. The provisional 'stimulus package'
includes modest increases in federal support for low-income students
and a good deal of money for 'shovel ready' construction projects on
our campuses," writes Andrew Delbanco in "A New Day for
Intellectuals" in The Chronicle Review (February 13, 2009). Delbanco,
after examining charges of anti-intellectualism in American culture
and asserting that Americans are pragmatic regarding education and
expertise, affirms the importance of self-criticism and social
justice, as well.
The troubled economy continues to affect the world of culture and
media: Borders Books is cutting twelve percent of its corporate
workforce, according to Judith Rosen of Publishers Weekly, February
19. The New York Times Company will not be paying dividends scheduled
for this month, because of lower received newspaper revenues, the
paper reports (Richard Perez-Pena, Feb. 19), the first suspension in
four decades. Meanwhile Wall Street investors worry that American
banks could be nationalized.
The singer and songwriter Santi White (Santogold) has generated
interest and high regard among some music listeners, and she is
scheduled to perform tonight at 7 p.m., for free, at the Apple Store
in Manhattan, 103 Prince Street in Soho. I was disappointed last
month to read an article titled "Janelle, Erykah, and Santogold Are
the Afro-Techno Revolution, While Beyonce just struggles to keep up,"
by Kandia Crazy Horse in New York's Village Voice, available online
(January 20, 2009), a piece in which the writer saw new music in
relation to political context and found Beyonce's work limited in
emotional affect ("ice cold") and complexity ("insufficient
innervisions to triumph"). I have my own criticisms of aspects of
Beyonce's work, though I appreciate her beauty, talent, and success;
and what worries me is that I suspect—following Village Voice writer
Greg Tate's comparison of Beyonce with Alicia Keys; and his
contrasting supposed Eurocentric with Afrocentric artists—is that
people are beginning to use Beyonce as a symbol, which may not be
fair to her. (I recall how Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross used to be
posed in certain arguments; and remember too that when Vanity Fair
profiled Aretha Franklin in the 1990s, Ross gave her praise, and that
when Ross was celebrated at the Kennedy Center recently, Franklin was
there to praise her. Often, rivalries are in the minds of critics and
lesser talents, rather than in the lives of major popular artists.)
It is also true that the Village Voice has used ideas about "cool"
and naked aggression as critical tools for years, under music editor
Robert Christgau, and it's unfortunate to see that tradition
continued under editor Rob Harvilla. (Appreciating the serious
exploration of culture, especially of literature and film, I have
been a longtime reader of the Voice, even though its quality has
diminished over the years, but I never liked Christgau's writing
work, finding it abrasive, shallow, and desperately, all too
desperately, self-promoting, the kind of relentless self-promotion
rare for an established writer, suggesting a profound and possibly
appropriate insecurity.) In discussing and evaluating artists,
sometimes comparisons are useful; and sometimes harsh critiques are
earned; however, it would make more sense for a critic to identify
the qualities she or he finds of value in an artist, rather than to
indulge in the construction of artistic demons to be vanquished. The
other thing is that these comparisions sometimes rest, for their own
effect, on the resentments that too many people have regarding
successful people (so that success itself is seen as a form of
wickedness: that is a petty and stupid kind of puritanism).
Sometimes late at night on south Louisiana television, sharing
airtime with commercials offering health regimens, household
equipment, and dating ads, is something called Jack Van Impe
Presents, featuring Jack and his wife, featuring sheer lunacy: they
discuss subjects such as whether Christ wanted to be a church leader
or a king, whether the world will end in year 2012, when there is so
much practical and social stuff that are problems for ordinary people
that could be discussed. How does spiritual belief contribute to
peace of mind and social well-being? The worst thing is that these
concerns—the long-ago ambitions of Christ, and prospects for the end
of the world—are only a little more weird than the deliberations that
often go on in various religions. On Tuesday in Mardi Gras and soon
after is the beginning of Lent; and neither event, one secular, one
religious, is of positive interest to me. I am in a world in which so
much of the dominant values are alien impositions. I recall now
having a conversation with a friend last year in New York in which I
said that I thought many of the interests of Americans involved
business, family, religion, and sports and that those were not my
principal concerns, which were more likely to involve culture,
philosophy, or politics.
I have not seen as many of the past year's films as I would like, but
I do have some interest in the awards given by the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts & Sciences, the Oscars: I'm hoping that Sean Penn will
win best actor, Kate Winslet best actress, Heath Ledger best
supporting actor, and Penelope Cruz for best supporting actress
(though I would be pleased as well if Viola Davis or Taraji Henson
won for best supporting actress). Greencine Daily will host a live
blog of the 81st Academy Awards presentation on Sunday, Feb. 22.

French Cinema Now
October 8th – 12th
Landmark's Clay Theater
The San Francisco Film Society presents French Cinema Now, a five-day
festival presenting the most significant new work from one of the
world's most renowned filmmaking traditions. Covering a broad spectrum
of subject matter and genres, the films in this series--ranging from a
rowdy rural comedy to an equestrian documentary to a tense
science-fiction thriller--celebrate French cinema. Running October 8 to
12 at Landmark's Clay Theatre with film guests in attendance. For more
information, visit www.sffs.org <http://www.sffs.org/> or call
925-866-9559.
French Cinema Now will open with Arnaud Desplechin's highly anticipated
new film A Christmas Tale
<http://www.sffs.org/events/films/film_christmas_tale.html> . Arguably
the most celebrated contemporary French director, Desplechin (In the
Company of Men, SFIFF 2004; Kings and Queen, SFIFF 2005) is expected to
be in attendance. The film, a dizzying and deliciously complex story of
a family's Christmas get-together, stars Catherine Deneuve as the cool
matriarch and Mathieu Amalric of the Diving Bell and the Butterfly as
her estranged son. VIP Opening Night tickets include an intimate
post-screening reception at Restaurant Cassis (2101 Sutter St. at
Steiner).
The festival will close with The Class
<http://www.sffs.org/events/films/film_the_class.html> , Laurent
Cantet's Palme d'Or
<http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/2008/awardCompetition.html>
winner at this year's Cannes Film Festival, the first French film to
win the award in over 20 years. The film, a bracing corrective to the
standard classroom drama, takes the viewer into a particularly lively
school set in a tough, multi-ethnic Paris neighborhood for the full
cycle of a school year. Geoff Andrew of Time Out London
<http://www.timeout.com/film/features/show-feature/4893/cannes-2008-diar\
y-the-class-entre-les-murs.html> writes, The Class "is utterly
engrossing from start to finish." VIP Closing Night tickets include a
special post-screening reception at The Elite Cafe (2049 Fillmore St. at
California)

To Whoever;I'm wondering if there might be any chance of contacting any company
about producing new DVD films.I'd like to see more of Elke Sommer's films on DVD
especially on widescreen or letterbox format.I'm particularly interested in her
films from the late 60s and early 70s.And I'd also like to see the film "When
Eight Bells Toll" from 1971 starring Natalie Delon and Anthony Hopkins on either
a region 1 or 0 format;and again preferably widescreen or letterboxed.Is there
anything anyone can do about this?Please email me soon.Thank you for your
time.Sincerely,Tom

Does anyone know how I could get an (original) videotape of 400 Blows
in the full-screen format, not the rectangular, wide-
screen, "letterbox" format (which I just got on a VHS tape -- put out
by 'Home Vision')? The quality of this tape is quite good, and the
subtitles have been re-done.
But I can't stand seeing the top and bottom cropped like that, and
that's not how I remember seeing the film back in the early 70's.
Thanks to anyone who can give me some advice..

Hi,
I'm an Australian film lover, and in fact film maker. My film "MODERN LOVE", my
first feature film has a very European sensibility, which stems from my love of
directors like Kaurismaki, Wenders, Argento, Herzhog and Tarko.
I was lucky enough to have my film invited to film festivals in Hof, Split,
Moscow and Sao Paulo and would like to talk to anyone who has interests in any
of the above.
Though my film was made in Australia, it looks more like a European film, and
for this...well, I'm proud.
regards
alex

Hi Tom
Hmm, I'm no big expert on the subject, and possibly I'm just lucky enough to
live in a place where region-free DVD machines are readily available. Also I
did look into the subject a few years ago and also found I could easily hack
my laptop DVD drive to be region-free (well, reset the code-change count
back to zero (previously limited to 5 changes max).
I saved this URL at the time http://www.codefreedvd.com/home.htm but
(disclaimer) I don't know whether the offers are still current etc.
Anyway, even if that site isn't the one for you, there are bound to be
others - it's a subject of considerable interest to many film fans etc. Have
a dig around..
Hope this helps
Regards Chris
