NewFest: Fast "Summer of 85" Thoughts

Screening tonight as part of NewFest is François Ozon's long-awaited-by-yours-truly romantic reminiscence Summer of 85, which I've posted about non-stop since its first very-CMBYN glimpse at Cannes this spring -- and there are still tickets available! Tear into it! The also good news: Music Box Films is planning on releasing the film in 2021, which isn't too far away if we can, you know... make it through the next few months intact. Always a question in 2020! The not-so-good news though, from where I stand: because the film will be out in a few months Music Box is asking us to hold off on writing full-length reviews until closer to the movie's release. 

Not so good for me because I have a lot, a whole lot, to say about this wonderful and moving motion-picture. I wanna go off with the superlatives! Slap all my social sentiments on the blu-ray case. Alas. I'm forced to keep it brief for now. First, I'll just go on and tell you the plot-stuff: Alexis (Félix Lefebvre) meets cute David (Benjamin Voisin) when a storm almost washes him out to sea. The two immediately hit it off, and friendship quick turns to more than friendship. But this being an Ozon movie romance is never far from tragedy, and the boys' happy ending is anything but assured. Love is real complicated in Ozon-land. 

The trailer, as I've noted, makes the film look like Ozon's spin on Call Me By Your Name, and... it is. It very much is that. But Ozon is a very different filmmaker from Guadagnino, so this is sort of like you've tossed the same ingredients to two master-chefs and let them make whatever they wanted -- the movies are a very different tonal experience. Sweet versus savory. That said I don't think this film exists without CMBYN, and there are moments that absolutely feel like Ozon nodding towards the former with very clear and deep affection. The films are definitely having a conversation. There's one passage in particular in the middle that felt to me like Ozon summarized that gigantic love letter to CMBYNthat I wrote way back when with ten seconds of screen-time. He just did it with cinema.

Anyway, as you can see, I want to get into it, but I'll save it all for 2021. Summer of 85 is very much worth snatching up a ticket to here at NewFest, although I'll admit I'd have loved to have seen Ozon's gorgeously filmed French shorelines on a big screen, and I very much hope that will be a possibility next year with its proper release. It's not the non-stop sun-dappled fantasy that Guadagnino's film was, but Ozon purposefully flirts with that sensation in a couple of exquisite passages, and the film casts a spell or two of its own. Very much worth seeing, and very much worth talking about... eventually. (Watch the trailer here.)

You Told Me It Would Last Forever

.

A couple of weeks ago I shared with you, and you, and you, the Cannes trailer for François Ozon's forthcoming homosexual romance called Summer of '85, which couldn't look more Call Me By Your Name to me if Timothée Chalamet crawled through the screen and stuck his face straight down my shorts. (Any time, Timmy. Any time.) I mean even that poster, with the yellow font against the blue sky and the boys' heads leaning on each other...

I say that not as any sort of insult -- if every movie was a remake of CMBYN I would be in heaven. Give me Call Me By Your Name on a box, Call Me By Your Name with a fox;  give me Call Me By Your Name in outer space! Fucking a peach in zero gravity! Anyway François Ozon is not exactly a derivative, safe filmmaker so I'm sure Summer of 85 will be its own thing...

Actually if I'm being honest I'm a little bit afraid that Ozon's film might angle itself as a critique or a response to Guadagnino's movie. If Ozon has his characters eat the damn peach (even just metaphorically) all the anti-CMBYN homosexuals are gonna be so fucking exhausting. I can't recall if I ever heard Ozon's opinion on Guadagnino's movie so who knows.

All I do know is that I want to love both the movies, all the movies, so I personally hope they can exist side by side, holding hands, happy and full of peach juice in perfect harmony. To get to the point -- Summer of 85 is getting released in France on July 14th and so a longer trailer for the film has just been released this week, and I will now share it with you fine people here today. Voila!

French Boys & The Movies That Love Them

The line-up for one of my favorite yearly fests has arrived today -- the "Rendez-Vous With French Cinema" festival at Film at Lincoln Center arrives for ten straight days of Gallic bliss in March, the 4th through the 14th, and it's an astonishingly sexy line-up of 18 movies this year (not that we'd expect any less from the French), starting from the top down with the legendary sexpot Emmanuelle Béart as the fest's Guest of Honor. For one they'll be screening Francois Ozon's sweaty and super-gay Summer of 85 (which I reviewed for NewFest last fall right here), which just got nominated for a heap of César awards (aka France's Oscars). But more than ever I felt like looking through this year's line-up there's an absolutely stunning French actor in every single one, so let's pick our picks, that way!

Vincent Lacoste in Faithful -- Lacoste first popped onto our radar with Christophe Honore's heartbreaking 2018 romance Sorry Angel, which has already become one of our all-time favorite gay films at this point. And Faithful has him (and his mustache!) starring opposite another fave, Phantom Thread star Vicky Krieps! He plays an imprisoned Communist revolutionary in the 1950s; she's his wife who refuses to abandon him. 

Rabah Naït Oufella in Ibrahim -- Oufella caught our eye thanks to two totally terrific movies, Bertrand Bonello's "teens take over a shopping mall" movie Nocturama and the cannibal flick Raw -- see a nice little gallery of him right here. In Ibrahim he plays the bad-influence best-friend to the titular character (played by Abdel Bendaher, above right), a teenager trying to do good; Rabah drags him into an ill-planned robbery attempt. It played Cannes last year.

Arnaud Valois in Lifelines and Spring Blossom -- The BPM beauty has a pair of features at the fest this year; his role in Lifelines;(which is about a woman obsessed with a found diary) is described as "an intriguing supporting role" but Blossom sounds Valois-centric, with him romancing actress / director Suzanne Lindon.

Niels Schneider in Love Affair -- Niels is best known for being the doe-eyed love-interest in a couple of Xavier Dolan movies back in the day, but he's worked plenty since then -- he was just in the ace Sibyl last year. And he's nominated for Best Actor at the Césars for this movie here -- it's also nominated for Best Film, Best Director, and all the other acting categories, so I think it's one to pay attention to! It's about cousin lovers!

Pierre Niney in Lovers -- The endearingly gawky Niney was delivered unto these shores via Ozon's 2016 film Frantz and immediately became a fave -- this one's a noir-tinged love triangle also starring the terrific Stacy Martin (from Nymphomaniac and Vox Lux) and...

... our boy Benoît  Magimel from The Piano Teacher! Yes this one's a two-fer -- two hot French actors for the price of one. Plus it's a thriller -- obviously this one is high on my Must Watch Immediately list. Although I will surely be let down and the two guys will fight over the girl with nary a whiff of sexual tension between the two of them, sigh. Tis my cruel fate.

Grégoire Ludig in Mandibles -- Previously seen by me rocking one hell of a stache in Quentin Dupieux's super fun 2018 flick Keep an Eye Out! (which I reviewed out of this exact same fest in 2019 right here) this movie has Ludig re-teaming with confirmed nutter Dupieux for a movie about two doofus low-lifes who find a scooter-sized housefly in the trunk of their stolen car, and train it to do crime. I don't think I've disliked a Dupieux flick yet? I am so on his wacky wavelength and this one is apparently one of his best.

Vincent Dedienne in Margaux Hartmann -- I actually don't think I know Dedienne from anything previous (nothing jumps off his IMDb page) but a quick google set me to attention; this is the flick that the fest's Guest of Honor Emmanuelle Béart stars in, and has her playing an older woman who's grieving her dead husband who goes back to school and makes new friends, with sexy results. I feel like you could add "with sexy results" to the description of any French film -- "Two low-lifes discover a gigantic housefly... with sexy results." Okay maybe not every French film. Anyway Dedienne is hella cute right?

Jérémie Renier in Slalom -- I have already posted about this movie! The shots of our beloved Renier doing his thing in this film (and by "his thing" I mean "getting naked" of course) made their way onto the internet back in October of last year, and obviously, just as we would with Jérémie, we jumped right on it. This movie has the legendary Belgian slash blond sexpot playing the creepy ski coach to a teen girl... and yes, "with sexy results" applies, although obviously that comes with several dozen asterisks given the subject matter.

--------------------

Phew! What a bunch, huh? "Rendez-Vous with French Cinema" runs on FLC's virtual platform from March 4th through 14th; tickets go on sale on February 19th (or earlier on Feb. 12th for FLC Members). You should have little fear that you won't hear more from me on this series, as I love covering it every year, so stay tuned. I'll throw their whole press release, with word on every single one of the films screening, right here after the jump...

5 Off My Head: It's Rendez-vous Time Again!

An annual fave here in NYC has just gifted us with something to look forward to -- Film at Lincoln Center has announced 2022's line-up for the "Rendez-vous with French Cinema" series, running from March 3rd through 13th they'll be screening 23 films including new ones from luminaries like Claire Denis, Francois Ozon, Arnaud Desplechin, Jacques Audiard, Mathieu Amalric, and Christophe Honoré! Oh and only the world's greatest actress Juliette Binoche will be here in NYC in person for a couple of screenings! Sacré bleu! (Pictured up top is actor Sandor Funtek, who's in the film Authentik.) I've got the full press release with every title listed down below but I wanna highlight the ones that I am personally most interested in seeing, because this is my site and that's what I do here. Oui? Oui. (Here I'll give you the film titles and directors and my brief reasons for wanting to see them, but if you want the plot specifics scan down to the press release.)

5 Rendez-vous Titles to Rendez-vous With

Fire directed by Claire Denis 

This one's the Opening Night film and stars Juliette Binoche (both Binoche and Denis will be here in person for the screening) and really, what more do you need to know? It is Claire Denis' new movie with Juliette Binoche. Oh how about the fact that Juli's co-star is Vincent Lindon, who just gave the performance of his life in Titane last year? HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES?

Guermantes directed by Christophe Honoré

I contemplated not even writing these paragraphs describing why I want to see these five movies and just listing the titles, because all but one of them come down to the name of the director making the film. Sorry, I'm an auteurist slut! Honoré has a lifetime pass from me thanks to his gay romance Sorry Angel in 2018. I'lls ee all of his movies forever now! (That said no I still haven't watched Love Songs, I keep forgetting! It's a happy treat I am saving for myself, basically.)

Everything Went Fine directed by François Ozon

Ozon always switches things up between films so this one appears to be very different from last year's extremely gay Summer of 85 -- that said I've seen 90% of Ozon's movies and pretty much loved every single one, even if they're the less gay ones.

Paris, 13th District directed by Jacques Audiard

And yes still speaking of directors I trust implicitly -- Audiard I trust more than any of these names I have listed so far. This is the man who made A Prophet and Rust and Bone and The Sisters Brothers, for god's sake. Just a long line of masterpieces in his wake.

Lost Illusions by Xavier Giannoli

Weirdly I was just tweeting about this movie!

Don't mind me I have just fallen down a Vincent Lacoste and Benjamin Voisin looking adorable together hole (anybody seen Lost Illusions, the movie they have been promoting?) pic.twitter.com/p3buoikfjM

— Jason Adams (@JAMNPP) February 8, 2022

I didn't even know it would be playing the fest when I tweeted that, but sign me up! (Also a reader who's seen the film alerted me to lots of Voison --who you should recognize from the just-mentioned Summer of 85 -- nudity. As if I needed more reasons!)

------------------------------------

Plots and all of that boring stuff can be perused down below, after the jump -- tickets for the fest will be on sale on the 15th for FLC members and the 18th for everybody else on their website. Can't wait to check these out!

The Lost Summer Boys

I went looking for photos of Lost Illusions actors Vincent Lacoste and Benjamin Voisin because that César-winning movie -- I shared the trailer right here -- is out this weekend here in NYC (at Film Forum) and in L.A. (at the Royal) as well. But instead I found the above image (via) of a bearded Voisin with his Summer of 85 co-star Félix Lefebvre and... uhhhh... obviously I had to take the bait. Man I loved Summer of 85 -- I wrote up thoughts back when at this link -- y'all have seen that by now right? I think it's one of Ozon's best and sexiest films, which is saying plenty obviously. (And coincidentally Amazon has the blu-ray on sale for 24 bucks right now!) Anyway I can't speak to Lost Illusions yet because I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but by all accounts it's a very good movie, so if you're in the neighborhood clearly go stare at the cute French boys! What better is there to possibly do? The Jurassic movie blows! Here's your alternative -- be adventurous, with the French boys.

What's New NewFest

During my day off yesterday NewFest 2020 went and dropped their full line-up for this year's mostly virtual fest, so today I play catch up! If you've heard all of this already, well you can go to hell. This is for the rest of us. (Not really, I love you!) (Unless you want to go to hell, in which case have at it. I prefer a cooler climate personally.) Anyway NewFest runs this year from October 16th through 27th and we already knew the big Opening Night film was Francis Lee's Ammonite -- see that post here -- so we'll focus in on some smaller but no less exciting stuff! But first, their trailer:

As you see there... hella gay. Right? So gay! I mean I know that's the idea but why they gotta rub all that gay in our faces? I mean when they could be rubbing the gay in our other places, obviously. Don't give my face all the attention, NewFest! That reminds me -- one year ago at NewFest I turned around to talk to my boyfriend at an after-party for one of their screenings and my boyfriend had literally been replaced by Chris Evans. No seriously -- that happened. If only I'd known then what I knew now! By which I mean Chris Evans definitively has a penis and I was about to be locked inside my apartment for eight months. 

Sorry I am really getting off track here. NewFest! We love NewFest! You can see their entire line-up on their website, I'm not gonna go through the whole thing because per usual they have an extensive line-up covering all the queer bases. But the titles that leapt right out at me are Alan Ball's Uncle Frank...

... which I've already posted about previously because it stars Paul Bettany and we love Paul Bettany, especially when he's not under all of that Vision make-up and wearing a mustache. That one is screening at the Queens Drive-in, what a thrill, outdoors and shit. And another one that leapt out at me was...

... Francois Ozon's Summer of 85, aka another one I've posted about before. Several times actually, as I tend to love Ozon films and this one looks like he took a lot of inspiration from Call Me By Your Name. See my previous posts, including its trailer, at this link. Oh and they're also showing Monsoon...

... aka The "Henry Golding plays gay" movie, previously posted about here -- this is from the writer-director of the lovely Lilting with Ben Whishaw. And I've already seen Monsoon and I'll have more to say about that closer to... not right now. Monsoon is getting a release in early November. Of course those are just some big titles -- there are loads more, including some fascinating looking docs (NewFest always has killer docs), one about Keith Haring and one about Truman Capote & Tennessee Williams, among many many others. Again check them at NewFest's website -- tickets are on sale right now!

Boys Will Be Boys Will Be Boys Will Be Boys

When I introduced this year's NewFest line-up a couple of weeks ago several people asked who the dude in the speedo was in the movie Sublet, because duh of course they did, there's a reason I opened the post with that photo. Anyway his name's Niv Nissim and that's also him starting this post above, because duh also! Go get your tickets to Sublet now, we'll watch it this weekend together, and see what all the fuss is about. 

Anyway! Turns out I didn't get any reviews for NewFest movies up today like I'd hoped but I promise you if you come back over the weekend voila, some gay shit will appear. I just need a good night's sleep and I'll get to churning out review kinda content. For now though, to get us all in the mood, I leave you with this photo (via) of Summer of 85 director François Ozon and Summer of 85 star Félix Lefebvre making of Timmy Chalamet the cream in their cookie.

Good Morning, World

Seems like a good moment, since I haven't mentioned it in a couple of days, to remind y'all that the "Rendezvous with French Cinema" film fest that happens every year (much to my delight) here in NYC has gone virtual this time around, and it's happening, it's happeningggg, right this minute. Not only that but one of the 2021 Edition's definite highlights, Francois Ozon's gay coming-of-age flick Summer of 85 (which has big shades of Call Me By Your Name if you watched the trailer I posted way back when -- I reviewed it way back when for NewFest too) is hitting the series on Saturday, this Saturdayyyy, so click on over and buy your tickets right now! it's good! Seen here is the film's leading young person Félix Lefebvre (via, thx Boyd), who's is also good. And I'll show you more good, after the jump...

I Cannes See You

.

When I posted the trailer for the Rainer Wener Fassbinder biopic Enfant Terrible yesterday I did so not immediately realizing that the reason we were getting a trailer with English subtitles for a movie that's only scheduled as of now for a release in Germany this fall was that the film was one of the titles that Cannes had been planning on screening -- yesterday they released a list of all the films they had planned on showing before the fest got canned due to COVID; you can see the entire list over here. It's Cannes so of course there's plenty o' awesome stuff, including Francis Lee's Ammonite (his follow-up to God's Own Country, a lesbian romance starring Kate Winslet and Saorsie Ronan -- see our previous posts here) as well as two films from Steve McQueen, among many many others. But there are two I specifically want to laser in on!

.

.

The first is François Ozon's latest called Summer of 85, and which also got a teaser trailer this week to ride the Cannes announcement wave; watch that above and I triple Timmy dare you to not think he was inspired by Call Me By Your Name. An 80s-set coming-of-age gay-boy romance with New Wave music and headphones and pretty twinks aplenty? Indeed. We don't have a release date yet but oh we will be watching for one.
.
.
The second movie is the latest from Far From the Madding Crowd director Thomas Vinterberg and it's called Another Round -- it stars Vinterberg regular Mads Mikkelsen as one of a group of middle-aged man-friends who make a "scientific" pact to be a certain amount of drunk every single day, under the impression that the human body and brain operates better with a higher alcohol content than it's naturally given.And naturally, shit gets out of hand. Again no word on a release date but I'd add this one to the To Watch heap if I was you since Vinterberg + Mikkelsen is always a keeper.
