Nouvelle Vague, a warm homage to the pioneers of French New Wave | Entertainment News

Published by Parlour News

A film about cinephiles for cinephiles is one way to describe ‘Nouvelle Vague’ ( New Wave), Richard Linklater’s love letter to movies. You could also say that it is about the making of ‘Breathless’, which it is. But it’s truly, gloriously more. It’s about being young and alive, broke and audacious, lucking into friends who make you come alive, having each other’s backs — all while changing the world. In the 50s, a bunch of French film critics were busy discovering the joys of ‘middlebrow Hollywood commercial’ cinema, which was treated with disdain by a high-minded earlier generation. Jacques Rivette, Eric Rohmer, Chaude Chabrol, Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard were among those who contributed to Cahiers du Cinema, a journal which published these rebels-with-a-righteous-cause. But writing trenchant prose and tearing into fresh releases for their scrappy journal wasn’t enough after a time, and many of these turned to making their films. Thus was born the ‘French New Wave’, which changed the way movies were made. Story continues below this ad How this particular group of …

Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning movie review: An homage to Tom Cruise and Ethan Hunt that is flawed yet fabulous | Hollywood

Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning movie review: An homage to Tom Cruise and Ethan Hunt that is flawed yet fabulous | Hollywood

Published by Parlour News

Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning movie reviewCast: Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Simon PeggDirector: Christopher McQuarrieRating: ★★★★ There is an opening montage in The Final Reckoning as a voice over (by Ving Rhames’ Luther) tells us about Ethan Hunt’s various sacrifices. It is meant to take the viewer on a journey through the secret agent’s exploits. But the sequence seems as much a homage to Hunt as it is to the man playing him – Tom Cruise. The film is no different. The eighth instalment of Mission: Impossible is director Christopher McQuarrie’s unabashed tribute to his friend and arguably the greatest action star there ever was. To Cruise’s credit, he shoulders that responsibility quite wonderfully. In a day and age of CGI-laden, convoluted thrillers. The Final Reckoning is a throwback to the ‘good old days’, where simplicity and action triumphed. And Tom Cruise is at the centre of it all, in what is his most emotionally charged performance in years. In every frame, he reminds you why he is who he is, and that the great …
