Queer Kisses For Antonio & Co.

.

When I posted my five favorite nominations yesterday for the Dorian Awards -- aka the annual prizes given out to movies of merit from the LGBT critic's guild GALECA, of which I am a member -- I knew the winners announcement was imminent, but it turned out to be really really imminent, showing up about half an hour after I posted that post. I'm glad I posted it beforehand though, since if I'd posted it after it might have seemed like sour grapes given nearly none of my picks ended up winning. Good things won! (Mostly.) We had plenty of love for Portrait of a Lady on Fire and I love that we gave Antonio Banderas Best Actor for Almodovar's Pain and Glory. 

And I very much like Parasite (my review), which strolled off with five prizes including Best Film and Best Director and Best Supporting Actor -- do I think Parasite is just a liiiiiittle overrated? I have said as much previously, yes. But far worse things can float to the top when it comes to consensus, and Parasite is nobody's bad movie. Anyway I'm the most happy we gave Florence Pugh an award, which was the one of my wishes that came true. Hooray for Florence! Hit the jump for the entire list of winners, and big gay congrats to them all...

Glory Be

.

I'm a day behind with everything this week so if you already watched the trailer for Pedro Almodovar's new movie just avert your eyes! Look away! Watching it a second time will probably kill you! For the rest of us, here's the trailer for Pain & Glory (aka Dolor y Gloria), which is a semi-autobiographical tale of an older filmmaker looking back on his life (every director's gotta make one of these right?) starring his two biggest star-muses, Antonio Banderas (as sort of himself) and Penelope Cruz (who appears to be a mother figure):

.

.
Pain & Glory is out in Spain in March -- we'll probably get it much later in the year, if I had to guess. I usually think of Almodovar movies as Autumn things. But maybe they'll surprise us and drop it sooner. Anyway if you'd like a quick gallery of all the gorgeous men (and shelves!) glimpsed in this trailer hit the jump...

I Did It All For Antonio

.

Today's the first day I've felt Fall in the air here in NYC but we should nevertheless get ready to still be sweating come this mid-September because the Quad Cinema here has just announced they're doing a 12 film retrospective of Antonio Banderas, in which among other things they'll be screening several of his collaborations with Pedro Almodovar leading up to this October's release of their latest Pain and Glory. (Pain and Glory is screening at NYFF as well.) The ones I'm most excited to see on a big screen are A&P's first team-up Labyrinth of Passion from 1982, Matador from 1986, and 1987's Law of Desire -- they very rarely get screened. I actually got to see Tie Me Up Tie Me Down at the Quad several months back, which they're also showing again, and I highly recommend seeing it big -- man does it pop. The series runs from September 18th through the 25th, check out the whole line-up at this link -- there are lots of movies that aren't Almodovar too, even!

Quotes of the Day

Well I didn't intend to do back-to-back posts on Pedro Almodovar's forthcoming gay western short-film called Strange Way of Life, but I don't mind -- if I was given the opportunity to do posts every day on this thing I would! And thankfully, unlike with the Manu Rios interview I just posted, the dude asking questions of Pedro Pascal in Flaunt mag today was smart enough to bring up the movie. Here's their exchange:

Flaunt Magazine: That brings me to Pedro Almodóvar's upcoming queer cowboy short film, Strange Way of Life, in which your character is in love with another cowboy played by Ethan Hawke. I imagine this character is a kind of deconstruction of some of the masculine archetypes you've played in the past, including Joel?

Pedro Pascal: He was one of my biggest influences when I got a little older. I remember seeing Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown as a teenager with my family as a kid. He's one of my family's most beloved filmmakers. So it was an opportunity to get to work with one of if not my favorite filmmakers. Anything that he does, whether it's more dramatic, comedic, or thriller, is very personal to him. But in this piece, as in Dolor y Gloria [Pain and Glory], I feel there's a very personal expression that he is asking me to step into. This is the case even in wearing his colors. I've got this bright green denim jacket and red plaid underneath. I hadn't even realized it until later, when I wrote him and said, 'You're putting your colors on my body.' And he's like, 'Duh.' Stepping into something that is personal to him and achieving that for him, what that means takes care of itself in the telling. Whether it's breaking down tropes that you find in westerns or masculinity, sexuality between men, love. If you're anchoring yourself to a truthful telling of the story you're inherently expressing all of those things honoring them, deconstructing them, questioning them.

Flaunt: Was it easy or difficult for you to act attracted to Ethan Hawke?

Pedro: Very easy. That's a dumb question! Think about staring into those steel fucking blue eyes. Brown eyes are great! Chocolate chips! But, you know, that steel blue stare of his. Oh god, I don't mean to make Zoolander references while talking about this film.

Still not a lot of info on the specifics of the movie, but that's fine -- I mean I think we can all picture how this movie will play out if we just look at the words "Pedro Almodovar's forthcoming gay western." If any of those words mean anything to us then I think we probably aren't far off the map, what we're picturing. Anyway there are thirteen more photos of Mr. Pascal to be had, and if you hit the jump you may have them...

5 Off My Head: The NYFF of 2019

.

No less than Pedro Almodovar himself designed that there poster for the 57th New York Film Festival (click to embiggen), which has just today announced its Main Slate of 27 movies, all of which you can check out at this link. This comes on the heels of last week's announcement that Martin Scorsese's The Irishman will be their Opening Night picture -- see my post on that here -- and that Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story will be their Centerpiece Film -- see that post here -- as well as the news that Edward Norton's Motherless Brooklyn, an adaptation of Jonathan Lethem's book that stars Norton and Alec Bladwin among others, will be the Closing Night movie. 

Anyway the Main Slate once again this year looks tremendously promising -- every year I do a list of the five movies that I'm most excited about seeing, but since there's easily more than five right now even at first glance I'm going to do this year's list with a stipulation. If the film already showed up in my list of 10 movies I'm most excited for this year, which I wrote back in June, I'm excluding it from today's list. That means you won't see Bong Joon-ho's Parasite or Pedro Almodovar's Pain & Glory or Céline Sciamma's Portrait of a Lady on Fire listed below, but believe me -- believe me! -- I wanna see those movies very very much! But NYFF offers such richness that we easy can dig a little deeper...

5 Movies I'm Looking Forward to at NYFF 2019

Martin Eden (dir. Pietro Marcello) -- Not gonna lie, this Italian psuedo-historical drama immediately grabbed my attention because it stars Luca Marinelli, who we've been keen on ever since he got cast opposite Matthias Schoenaerts in another upcoming film called The Old Guard. We're rooting for him... especially showing up at the Q&A. Anyway Martin Eden is based on a book by Jack London, and has Marinelli playing a dissatisfied writer who finds politics and love and class warfare. Perhaps not in that order!

Zombi Child (dir. Bertrand Bonello) -- How the news escaped me that the director of two of the great films of the past decade, Saint Laurent and Nocturama, has gone and directed a zombie movie set in Haiti (which NYFF labels more Tourneur than Romero which sounds plenty ace to me) makes me nuts -- this is exactly the sort of arty nutty thing I should be on and on but good!

Wasp Network (dir. Olivier Assayas) - Assayas re-teams with his Carlos star Edgar Ramirez (who could really use a great role again right about now) to make an epic political thriller about the true story of a group of Cuban defectors who became spies in Miami in the 1980s. You say Assayas, I say how high, but the cast also includes Gael Garcia Bernal and Wagner Moura and Leonardo Sbaraglia (mmm Leonardo Sbaraglia) so sign me up.

Synonyms (Dir. Nadav Lapid) -- I just mentioned this film's star Tom Mercier last week when he got himself cast in Luca Guadagnino's HBO series -- he gives by all accounts an astonishing star making performance in this film, which won the Golden Bear in Berlin earlier this year. He plays a former Israeli soldier who runs away to Paris and finds sexual liberation or something. I don't know, I reached the point where I stopped reading things so it's not spoiled for me, but people I trust a lot have made this film sound like something real special.

Bacurau (dir. Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles) -- This is one that my only connection to -- I did very much like Aquarius but otherwise I'm not super familiar with the directors or any of the actors, that is -- is how NYFF is describing it, but what a description! So I'll let them speak for me here:

"A vibrant, richly diverse backcountry Brazilian town finds its sun-dappled day-to-day disturbed when its inhabitants become the targets of a group of marauding, wealthy tourists. The perpetrators of this Most Dangerous Game–esque class warfare, however, may have met their match in the fed-up, resourceful denizens of little Bacurau. Those who remember Kleber Mendonça Filho’s wonderful NYFF54 crowd-pleaser Aquarius starring Sonia Braga—who appears here in a memorable supporting role—might be surprised by the new terrain and occasional ultraviolence of his latest, codirected with his longtime production designer Juliano Dornelles. Yet this wild shape-shifter shares with that film the exhilaration of witnessing society’s forgotten and marginalized standing up for themselves by any means necessary. With references to the fearless genre works of John Carpenter, George Miller, and Sergio Leone, Bacurau, winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, is a vividly angry power-to-the-people fable like no other. A Kino Lorber release."

I didn't even room for the new Kelly Reichardt movie!

Working Out the Kinks

.

Memories ache. They're physical. They start somewhere inside your skull and work their way out to your fingertips and toes, slapping down on every nerve-ending along the way like somebody on roller-skates turning out the lights in an endless building, so many halls. It's a full body sensation, remembrance, and the older you get the more rickety the process -- the shakier and more erratic the flicker of off to on to off to on. Some lights just stay off forever; corridors closed for business.

Pain & Glory is a poem about this elongating process -- built in a deliciously low-key register for the king of fizz Pedro Almodovar, as if he's gently massaging his thoughts out of an elbow, a rib. Slow and thorough, the pieces work themselves out in a uniform march, long enough to look them over, a procession -- a man who drew you once in your white-washed living-room; a sweet thing your momma once said down by the water. Everything worthwhile takes awhile, but the effort's probably worth it when you catch the view, the looks upon their faces.

Muted and gorgeous in his melancholy, Antonio Banderas putters about here in his single greatest performance, clearly keen on holding on, soaking this gift up to the neck-skin. Movies about film-makers are almost always about panic, but Pain & Glory is about letting go -- relaxing, making interiorized amends. That takes smack -- herky-jerky like a rollercoaster's first hill, arms up as far as they'll go, and let go. Once you've ridden it once you'll wanna ride again, no worries -- familiar with the curves, ready to lean into it. You've got the hang then, and only then, can you hum it so the back can hear you -- something plain and sweet as welcome morning sunlight, a song without words that says everything instead.

Daniel Grao Two Times

.

I skipped the NYFF press screening of Pedro Almodovar's new film Pain & Glory this afternoon because's baby's got reviews he should be writing and also I've already seen the movie once -- I hate not being there to see Pedro & Antonio at the Q&A but you can't do everything. But in the sexy spirit of Almodovar here's a pair of new photos of the star of Pedro's previous film Julieta, via his Instagram. Viva Pedro et al!

Good Morning, World

.

Happy Hangover Day, fellow gays -- the Oscars were last night, as I am sure every single one of you are aware, and I'm a little slow going this morning but not as bad as usual since the boyfriend was out of town for work and it felt weird real quick getting too drunk all by myself on the couch. I got a little drunk. But not too. Which probably comes through on my live-tweeting of the event -- I never devolved into deranged howls of vulgarity like I normally do.

I think that says less about the crop of mostly good winners (nothing I wished for happened but it hardly ever does, and what did happen avoided the scope of tragedy... save that Editing win for the snooze-fest Ford v Ferrari, barf) than it does everything else I just said, but it was a good night for good movies. Do I wish they might've spread the wealth and awarded Best International Feature to Pedro Almodovar's Pain and Glory? Sure, but there's no way the voters knew the top prize was also going to Parasite, so whatever. We'll celebrate Pedro & Antonio Banderas' decades-long collaboration this morning with these shots from their marvelous 1987 flick Law of Desire, right on here after the jump...

Pantys '19: Fave Films, Part One

.

By my count I saw 253 new movies in 2019, which works out to about 7/10ths of a new movie every single day for you Rain Men out there. I don't know if that's high or low because I don't usually keep track of how many movies I watch in a year, I just happen to have that number in front of me. But it seems like a high number! And keep in mind this is not counting all of the pre-2019 movies I also watched, which surely brings that number into the billions. 

Point being I watch movies instead of going outside. Have you been outside lately? I do not recommend it. I mean yes, inside also sucks now, since the internet brings the outside inside with us. But shutting out the horrible wailing sounds of the outside world with a big beautiful glorious brand new baby of a film? Now that's the sweet stuff. That I recommend. But maybe you don't have time for 253 new movies like I did? Well hey what a coincidence, that's just exactly what I'm here for. I'm gonna narrow that gigantic number down to the absolute and finest of the very best ones, according to me. Starting... now.

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:

Open Your Eyes (1997)

César: We never appreciate the good moments till they're over.

Antonio: Maybe that's why they're good moments.

A happy 50th birthday to the fine (and fine) Spanish actor Eduardo Noriega today, probably best known here in the U.S. for his lead role in Guillermo Del Toro's perfect 2001 ghost story The Devil's Backbone. That is if he's not known for the movie quoted above from director Alejandro Amenábar -- who coincidentally also made a perfect ghost story in 2001 called The Others. I just don't know how well-seen Open Your Eyes is at this point here in the U.S. -- I never hear anybody talk about it anymore, even though it has gotten a blu-ray release and it is currently streaming on Prime.

Anyway it's very good and you should see it if you haven't! And if you're unaware Open Your Eyes was remade in 2001 (good grief what a convergence point that year is turning out to be for this post) as Cameron Crowe's film Vanilla Sky. And while there are things I admire about Vanilla Sky, Amenábar's film remains far superior. Anyway Noriega did a lot of great work around that time -- Amenábar's 1996 film Thesis is another one that doesn't get mentioned often enough (with The Others getting released on Criterion in October maybe more of Amenábar's movies will finally get good releases). And then there's the homoerotic spectacle of Eduardo and Leonardo Sbaraglia (recently seen in Pedro Almodovar's Pain and Glory)...

... in Burnt Money from 2000, which, wanna hear something nuts? I HAVE NEVER SEEN. I have posted about this movie's existence since the very beginning of this website almost twenty years ago and yet I have still never seen it! Even when images like this exist:

I have quite obviously wasted my life. 

Good Morning, World

.

Much thanks to Spanish actor Daniel Grao for making this morning's :"Good Morning" post hella easy with his last night's Instagram post -- I don't really understand why he was going to be with it so bright outside but who am I to judge? This reminds me though, since Grao makes me think of Julieta and Julieta makes me think of Pedro Almodovar -- did any of our Spanish readers see Pedro's new film Pain & Glory? It came out in Spain a couple of weeks ago (here is the trailer if you missed it) and I never looked around to see what the Spanish reaction was. It doesn't hit the US until November -- I am guessing it might maybe play NYFF, given that timing and his close relationship with the fine folks at FSLC (he's part of their big 50th Anniversary Gala at the end of this month that I will totally suck dick for a ticket to).
