ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT CURRENT FILMS & SERIES
IN THEATERS AND AT HOME
While his next feature film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert de Niro is still in post-production, the director of Taxi Driver and Goodfellas seems to have already found a new project.(l’Eclaireur- FNAC).
While his next film, Killers of the Flower Moon, produced in part by Apple TV+ and which will reunite his two favorite actors Robert de Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio on screen, is eagerly awaited, Martin Scorsese is already working on a new feature film.
Developed once again by Apple TV+, the film will be a musical biopic about the American rock band Grateful Dead, formed in the 1960s and considered a precursor of psychedelic music.
Scorsese would have already found his main actor in the person of Jonah Hill to play Jerry Garcia, leader and founding member of the rock band.
Scorsese has confidence in Jonah Hill after The Wolf of Wall Street, where he played the partner of the broker Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). Jonah Hill, who has also tried his hand at directing with the soaring mid 90’s (2019), will soon find Leonardo DiCaprio in Don’t Look Up, the new comedy by Adam McKay to be released on Netflix on December 24.
“Knocked up” & “Supergrave” revealed his talent for comedy.
We do remember him (a kind of young John Goodman?) in Martin Scorsese’s satire, The Wolf of Wall Street, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, a role for which Jonah Hill receives his second Oscar nomination, the category of best supporting actor.
The wolf of Wall Street, by Martin Scorsese, Donnie Azoff,
True Story, by Rupert Goold in the part of Michael Finkel
War Dogs, by Todd Philips
Moneyball, by Bennett Miller, Jonah Hill with Brad Pitt
Supergrave, by Greg Mottola, Seth
Hope Gap, Goodbye,by William Nicholson.
Director William Nicholson tells the story of a fiercely humorous and hopeful separation. He was inspired by his own play, “The Retreat from Russia”, whose title refers to the Napoleonic defeat that precipitated his downfall.
Synopsis
Married for thirty years, Grace and Edward live peacefully in their cottage on the English coast. She, exuberant and voluble, manages the house. He, discreet and self-effacing, is completing a career as a teacher. But that morning, this well-ordered life is about to be shattered. When their son Jamie comes to visit, Edward finds the courage to tell his wife his decision: in one hour, he will leave the house for a new life.
Review
Nowadays, couples stay married for less time than they used to.
Hope Gap is also a photograph of a generation of men and women who got married very young, often without knowing each other. Subtly, the director exposes the arguments of the man, the woman, and the son, caught between the two. To leave when one does not love any more and when one does not feel alive any more is difficult. And often couples, out of habit, continue to pretend until late in life. Because worse than leaving, the fear of the unknown, of what will be said, is still a burden.
What to do at the end of life when there is nothing left to say to each other? The choice to leave, cruel for the other, is sometimes imposed, until late in life. Is communication the secret of a couple’s success?
The poetry lends itself nicely to this in Hope Gap.
Bill Nighy, Annette Benning and the young Josh O’Connor (whom I loved as Prince Charles in the Crown) form a moving trio.
