TIFF laments state of Grace BY JEREMY KAY
Green Room
Buyers enter Green Room BY ANDREAS WISEMAN
WestEnd Films has closed key international sales deals on Jeremy Saulnier’s thriller Green Room, which has its North American premiere tonight in TIFF’s Midnight Madness strand. Deals have closed in Germany (Universum), Australia and New Zealand (Rialto), Switzerland (Praesens), the Middle East (ECS), Turkey (Kurmaca), Indonesia (Queen), Korea (Mountain Pictures), Thailand (M Pictures), Malaysia (Suraya) and Philippines (Captive). The film, produced by Broad Green Pictures and Filmscience, follows a punk band that witnesses a murder and find themselves fighting for their lives against a gang of white supremacists. The cast includes Patrick Stewart, Anton Yelchin and Imogen Poots. Broad Green Pictures sold US rights to A24, which is planning a theatrical run in spring 2016. Earlier deals include the UK (Altitude/ Picturehouse) and Canada (D Films) while Abbolita and XYZ took Hong Kong, Israel, South Africa, Greece, Portugal and Taiwan.
Toronto’s head documentary programmer has expressed surprise over the court ruling that led to the withdrawal from the festival of Aretha Franklin documentary Amazing Grace, saying: “I was left wondering what the judge was smoking.” Thom Powers worked behind the scenes for four years to bring the film to Toronto after it looked like the producers were resolving the inevitable technical and rights issues that have kept the late Sydney Pollack’s film out of public view for more than four decades. However, what Powers had not anticipated was last Friday’s decision by Colorado judge John Kane
to grant Franklin an injunction after the soul diva filed papers to say she never granted permission for commercial use of footage from a 1972 Los Angeles church concert. That ruling blocked the film’s world premiere in Telluride and while there is no such ruling in Canada, producer Alan Elliott felt it prudent to pull the film. “As a lay person, I was left won-

Peter Fonda is to replace the late Christopher Lee in ensemble 9/11 drama The 11th, which is closing financing here in Toronto. Lee, who died in June aged 93, was set to play an alcoholic ex-surgeon who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Easy Rider star Fonda will now take on the role. In addition, Sharon Stone will replace Uma Thurman in the leading role of an obsessive cop in the Copenhagen-set drama. Director Xavier Nemo will be

dering what the judge was smoking,” said Powers. “But in Colorado I guess that could be anything.” Powers said it was his understanding Franklin had previously professed her love for the film and he could not recall a similar case in his 10 years at Toronto where a film had been pulled by producers after being accepted into the festival. “It’s a very worrying precedent,” he said, adding that while the decision was disappointing he had sympathy for the producers. Powers checked in with the producers every year since he first saw Amazing Grace in 2011 to see if it was ready. “Finally, this year, it felt there was some momentum behind it.”
The Paris-based sales outfit will co-produce alongside X-Filme, Maha Productions, Dor Film and Ideale Audience, reuniting with producer Stefan Arndt (Cloud Atlas, The White Ribbon), who they worked with on 2014 drama The Dark Valley.

here at TIFF to close financing on the project, which is being sold by LevelK. The 11th follows eight interwoven stories that occur in the leadup to the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center but on the
other side of the Atlantic. The rest of the cast remains intact, including leading figures from Scandinavian cinema such as Michael Nyqvist, Lena Olin and Connie Nielsen. Paris-based Dog One Productions and Danish co-producers Nepenthe Film (The Shamers Daughter) have delayed production until summer 2016 to accommodate the cast changes. The film has a budget of $4.7m, two thirds of which comes from private equity from France, Denmark and the US.
FilmRise hunts monster hit as record breaker heads to US BY LIZ SHACKLETON
FilmRise has acquired North American rights to record-breaking Chinese hit Monster Hunt, directed by Shrek animator Raman Hui, from Edko Films. Since its July 16 release, the film has grossed $378.5m (RMB2.41bn) at the China box office, making it the biggest local film of all time. It looks set to overtake Furious 7, which became the biggest film overall when it grossed $380m
(RMB2.43bn) earlier this year. Hui was a supervising animator on the first two Shrek films and codirected Shrek The Third. He made his Chinese-language directing debut with Monster Hunt, a CGI/ live-action hybrid that centres on a cute baby creature in a world where humans and monsters are at war. Brooklyn-based FilmRise will release the film across all media in early 2016.

Beasts Of No Nation Reviewed by Fionnuala Halligan Beasts Of No Nation is a bold, ambitious production. The first original feature from Netflix, it will challenge the distribution sector’s status quo when it makes an awards-qualifying premiere in select US markets on October 16 — the same day it is made available worldwide for download on the service. Written, directed and lensed by Sin Nombre’s Cary Joji Fukunaga, it adapts the 2005 novel by the Nigerian-American author Uzodinma Iweala about an African child soldier who is ripped from his family by civil war and forced to fight for a Joseph Konylike warlord played by Idris Elba (who also produces). The 136-minute film was shot on location in Ghana with the clear intent of delivering an epic indictment on this evil that has plagued sub-Saharan Africa, in particular. To that extent, it succeeds. Full of committed performances, particularly from Elba and the impressive young actor Abraham Attah, Beasts Of No Nation is a project of considerable integrity that makes for a consistently engrossing, if overlong, viewing experience. It is grim, often harsh and occasionally trips over to nightmarish Heart Of Darkness territory. Like the central character of the Commandant, played so effectively by Elba, it also struggles to hold onto its power throughout. While there are clear thematic similarities here to 2008’s Johnny Mad Dog and other

recent films about African child soldiers, Fukunaga’s film has its own voice, although it is not based on a real-life first-person account — Iweala wrote the book as a continuation of his Harvard thesis work on child fighters. The author was careful to set his book in an unnamed country, with factions of mercenaries swarming through the bush countryside, a whirling, surreal chaos punctuated by a firstperson narrative with a singular cadence. That distinctive sing-song voice, stronger on the page than on the screen, perhaps, belongs to mischievous young Agu (the Ghanaian actor Attah, in his first screen role), who lives in a buffer zone between factions as the film starts out. Whereas Iweala mixed the timelines of his narrative, Fukunaga opts for a linear delivery. Despite his charm and impishness, the viewer is always aware Agu lives in a time and place of great violence, and when it erupts, it takes away his entire family in the most brutal manner. The cycle of violence has commenced and Agu is quickly picked off by the Commandant, a deadly Fagin with a band of lawless young men and boys — childlike, vicious peacocks carrying totems who are treated with inhuman cruelty by the Commandant, which they in turn dispense to the unfortunates they encounter. Here’s where Fukunaga is at his strongest — he conveys clearly this army’s cult-like conditions (in particular the terrifying indoctrina-
tion ceremony) and the favouritism — sexual and otherwise — shown by the Commandant to his chosen boys. To call them de-sensitised understates their condition. Elba has the chance here to create a deep performance — the charismatic, evil, eventually vulnerable commander — and he takes it. Agu finds a friend in the mute boy Striker (Emmanuel ‘King Kong’ Nii Adom Quaye), and they watch as the older boys murder and rape. Agu is told to kill a man, crossing a line over into a hell that is eventually relieved and amplified by the use of ‘brown-brown’ (cocaine mixed with gunpowder). Throughout, Fukunaga (as his own cinematographer for the first time) trains the camera on the red skies and soil of Africa, the blood and the embers of the night-time terror the Commandant and his boys dispense. This is an unexpected turn from an increasingly versatile Fukunaga (nothing from Sin Nombre or the restraint of Jane Eyre would have led viewers to expect Beasts Of No Nation from this director, although True Detective might be more of a clue). All technical credits here are excellent, in particular costuming by Jenny Eagan, Dan Romer’s music and Inbal Weinberg’s production design, presenting an almost mythical odyssey through the bush into the towns and villages of a blighted land, set nowhere but everywhere in Africa where this lawlessness reigns.

Anomalisa Reviewed by Lee Marshall
The Danish Girl Reviewed by Jonathan Romney “I was always pretty, you just never noticed,” says Eddie Redmayne’s character in trangender drama The Danish Girl. In fact, Redmayne’s androgynous prettiness has always been one of the noticeable factors of his intriguing screen presence, and it makes him a perfect fit for the film’s theme — the story of painter Einar Wegener, later known as Lili Elbe, who underwent a pioneering gender reassignment operation in the 1930s. Redmayne’s performance, and the very sumptuous polish of Tom Hooper’s drama will undeniably make The Danish Girl a lead contender in the forthcoming awards season. But this is an over-varnished, sometimes dramatically leaden, and determinedly mainstream drama that never really gets under the skin of a complex subject that has been depicted to far more trenchant effect elsewhere. Adapted by Lucinda Coxon from David Ebershoff ’s novelisation of Wegener’s life, the story starts in mid1920s Copenhagen, where Einar is a painter of moody landscapes, beginning to find success — though it eludes his portrait painter wife Gerda (Vikander). The loving and passionate heterosexual relationship is defined by Einar’s feminine delicacy and Gerda’s nononsense forcefulness. An interest in Gerda’s new silk nightgown — a faint, unwitting touch of Ed Wood’s Glen Or Glenda here — is Einar’s Road to Damascus moment, as he begins to realise he has a woman within him. That woman takes the form of Lili, initially presented in public as a shy country cousin. But Einar’s gradual reappraisal of his body, and discovery of a range of feminine gestures, not only transform his life but also help Gerda rediscover her mojo as a painter of erotic nudes, who all have Lili’s shy smile. The film’s most obvious appeal to audiences will be as a love story, with the effective interplay between Redmayne and Vikander. Unfortunately, they don’t always seem to be acting together, or in the same film. Redmayne’s performance, meanwhile, comes across as narcissistic in a way that his Stephen Hawking, in The Theory Of Everything, was not. That is unavoidable in a film whose protagonist spends so much time examining his/her body language, but he is over-dependent on a range of coy moves and gestures that may make viewers feel they are being flirted with a little too strenuously.

Charlie Kaufman is back — with a wistful, resonant film, a bracing, wry, honest dose of cinematic melancholy, in which an anonymous chain hotel somewhere in Cincinnati becomes an existential and emotional staging post for a depressed motivational speaker. Kaufman cohelmed Anomalisa with stop-motion director Duke Johnson, for this is an animated feature, which recasts Kaufman’s own ‘sound play’ of the same name — performed on stage in New York, Los Angeles and London in 2005 — in puppet form, with voices supplied by David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tom Noonan. Based in Los Angeles, but currently in Cincinnati for a talk he is due to deliver, the film’s unhappy central figure, Michael Stone (voiced in a tired Lancashire accent by David Thewlis), is the middle-aged UK author of motivational business book How May I Help You Help Them?, aimed at firms keen to improve their customer satisfaction ratings. Bored and with time to kill, he calls up Bella, a former partner he dumped, with no explanation, 10 years earlier. She agrees to meet him in the hotel, but when it becomes clear he is only interested in getting her into bed, the still fragile Bella storms out. Stone eventually gets lucky with Lisa (Jennifer Jason Leigh), the mousier of two girls from Akron who idolise the author and are in town to hear him speak. Told thus, Anomalisa seems almost a short film, but the back-of-a-postcard storyline insulates Kaufman from the overweening ambition of his poorly received directorial debut Synecdoche, New York (2008) and allows the co-director to focus on an imperfect man’s small moment of crisis in a nowhere place, and to expand it from the inside. Funded to the tune of $400,000 by a Kickstarter campaign, Anomalisa, more than Kaufman’s previous work, seems to trade chords with Wes Anderson in his humanistic, least whimsical moments. That said, there’s also a fair bit of painful-to-watch awkwardness here that recalls, at times, a UK strain of comedy-of-embarrassment, part Mike Leigh, part Ricky Gervais. But it’s difficult to imagine Anderson, Leigh or Gervais crafting one of the most believable sex scenes we’ve seen on screen in recent years — how ironic that it should be acted out by puppets.

Janis: Little Girl Blue Reviewed by lee Marshall Three decades before Amy Winehouse there was Janis Joplin, another dynamic, feisty, bluesy female vocalist whose life came to a tragic end at the rock world’s unlucky age — 27. A different Amy — documentary-maker Berg — pays joyous, moving tribute in this feature-length film to the girl from Port Arthur, Texas, whose breakout performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival ushered in a short but intense three-year period of rock fame before her death from a heroin overdose in October 1970. Co-produced by PBS’s long-running American Masters series, Janis: Little Girl Blue is a classic rock documentary, told using a conventional but well-sifted mix of present day and archive interviews with performance and backstage footage. Like Asif Kapadia in Amy and Brett Morgen in another 2015 rock doc, Cobain: Montage Of Heck (both of their subjects also died at 27), Berg has access to the singer’s writings — specifically the poignantly upbeat, girlish letters she wrote to her parents and to the men (all of them bar one bad choices) on whom she pinned her romantic hopes. These are given a voice by singer Chan Marshall, better known by her stage name, Cat Power, whose countrified southern drawl helps to ground Joplin in the home territory she always resented but where she was forged.

Painfully sensitive about her plain appearance and the jibes she received as a result, Joplin blossomed when she discovered her singing voice, and moved, in 1963, to laid-back San Francisco, where the folk and blues scenes were morphing into psychedelic rock. But this was also where Joplin progressed from her favourite performance-enhancing drug, Southern Comfort, to harder stuff, and entered the first of several cycles of binge and (relative) abstinence that would mark her career from then on in.
Downbeat? No, because if there’s one thing Janis: Little Girl Blue conveys brilliantly it’s the exuberant love for life and sense of fun that emanated from every pore of this snub-nosed singer. If she overshadowed the boys in the bands she fronted — among them Big Brother & The Holding Company and The Kozmic Blues Band — it wasn’t just a question of superior musical talent, it was also (as interviewees then and now bemusedly acknowledge) something to do with her sheer animal magnetism.
off-note, with Hardy using some facial prosthetics around the jaw line that are not particularly subtle. Helgeland, who adapted LA Confidential and wrote and directed 42 and A Knight’s Tale, occasionally demonstrates a tin ear for 1960s London, garlanding Hardy’s thuggish twins in
comically lurid dialogue, but a bigger hurdle is the decision to set up Legend as a love triangle of sorts between the twins and Emily Browning as Reggie’s ill-fated wife Frankie. Physically, the slight actress is powered off the screen by Hardy, and her character’s arc isn’t substantial enough to square up to the twins. Initially played as a cheeky hood with sibling issues, Reggie’s violence eventually escalates to match his brother’s in a film that is ultimately all mouth and mayhem. Legend is framed from the start by a wistful voiceover narrative from Frankie, and much of the early part of the film is set up as a romance between her and Reggie. Unfortunately for Frankie, however, crazy, drooling Ronnie shows up whenever the going gets good. “I’m a giver, not a receiver,” he informs her on their first meeting. “There’s a difference. I’m not a faggot.” Other cracking lines of dialogue include “Home at last, like Agamemnon returned from Ithaca!”, “London’s bottom had reached her top”, and, as the film draws to an end, “The world is like London; it’s not good, it’s not bad, it just is”. Helgeland’s script is far more convincing when it requires Ronnie or Reggie to yell, “Shut up, you c**t” at each other, and Legend certainly delivers on this front.
Legend Reviewed by Fionnuala Halligan The casting of the ever-intriguing Tom Hardy as violent 1960s London villains Ronnie and Reggie Kray in Brian Helgeland’s biopic Legend was the film’s main selling point through its pre-production process, and his gutsy, typically physical performance as the terrorising twins remains its calling card at the end of 131 lengthy minutes of lurid Cockney drama. The Kray brothers, already eulogised in 1990’s The Krays with similar stunt casting of the Spandau Ballet brothers Martin and Gary Kemp, are renowned for personifying a particularly London mix of sex, violence and politics in the Swinging Sixties. Scandal catalogued the exact same era, to better effect. They were violent gangsters who terrorised the East End. Ronnie was gay and sadistic; he had sex with politicians, compromising the Establishment. Reggie was your more common-or-garden swaggering, violent bully, and, later, a vicious killer. From the film’s opening frames, which depict the brothers in the back of a car, it’s easy to buy Hardy’s dual performance, and it doesn’t get in the way of the film — although some actor-ly exuberance in the delivery of Ronnie can sound

INTERVIEW JEAN-MARC VALLEE
J
ean-Marc Vallée, the modern-day enfant terrible from Quebec, dances to a new rhythm these days. Heading into the world premiere of Toronto International Film Festival opener Demolition,, the director appears to have removed himself even further from the fluctuating tonal terrain of earlier work such as C.R.A.Z.Y. and The Young Victoria. Now his films pitch seemingly ordinary people into relentlessly demanding situations, which is not to say Vallée’s formative years were marked by a lack of dramatic intensity. Nor that his recent oeuvre has succumbed to soul-destroying formula. Even he suggests, though, there is some kind of current beneath his recent work — something he hinted to Screen two years ago when he predicted the imminent world premiere of Dallas Buyers Club would present his most touching film to date. Two acting Oscars (courtesy of the potent Matthew McConaughey-Jared Leto double act) and $55m in worldwide ticket sales later, and it’s safe to say the $5m drama delivered on the director’s promise. Last year, his Dallas Buyers Club follow-up Wild presented the formidable pairing of Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern, with both actresses earning Academy Award nominations. Given that track record, Demolition stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Naomi Watts have good cause to expect a dose of awards recognition this season: Vallée has emerged as a gifted director of actors. Emotional punch But the story is king. Whether Demolition equals drama or dramedy does not seem to matter. What is important is how the emotional equation struck Vallée when, threeand-a-half years ago, he read Bryan Sipe’s screenplay about a recently widowed banker who forms a deep connection with a single mother. “It celebrates life and love and that’s the beautiful thing about it,” Vallée tells Screen over the phone in late August. “It’s a beautiful script with a rare quality. It’s special and emotional and fun and irreverent and always touching. And at the end you go, ‘Wow, what a beautiful journey. What a beautiful end.’” These days Vallée seeks out stories that put him — and, by extension, audiences — through the wringer. “I am looking for character-driven stuff, emotional stuff, beautiful stories like Dallas Buyers Club and Wild and this one,” he says. “We see characters who have to fight to find their happiness. There’s so many things we do in our lives because it’s easy and we get caught in daily routine and we’re trying to find meaning.” Vallée was meant to shoot Demolition after Dallas Buyers Club. But when Witherspoon sent him the Wild script, Demolition’s producers, who include Molly Smith of Black Label Media and Sidney Kimmel, gave him

FACT FILE ■ Born Montreal, March
1963. ■ Gained international
recognition with C.R.A.Z.Y., his first Toronto selection, which won the festival’s best Canadian feature film award in 2005 and went on to take 10 Genie awards including best film and best director. ■ Every one of his subsequent features has played at Toronto: The Young Victoria (closing-night film, 2009), Café De Flore (2011), Dallas Buyers Club (2013), Wild (2014) and now Demolition (this year’s openingnight film).
Wild he their blessing. “So I directed Wild,” says. “We were doing post on Wild and started to prep Demolition. I was in New York City prepping and went to Toronto last year to promote Wild.” Vallée was unable to promote Wild much beyond that. Around this time, Gyllenhaal and Watts were confirmed as Demolition leads. Sierra/Affinity kicked off international pre-sales, CAA began to meet with US buyers, and shooting began a couple of weeks later. By the start of December, Fox Searchlight had acquired rights for the US, UK, Australia, France and Germany, while Sony took Latin America and other territories. Back-to-back shoots were “emotionally demanding”, Vallée admits, although the struggle was worthwhile. “This was a tough one to finance but there’s something special about this. There’s something very truthful — loss can be beautiful sometimes.” The director with the Midas touch around actors adds: “Jake is something.
I’m so happy he did an amazing job.” Watts’ lack of ego and willingness to take direction made it feel “like she was just starting [in acting]”. To have films at TIFF three years in a row, six times overall and now in the opening-night slot means a lot. “I’m pleased and privileged and very grateful,” says Vallée. “It feels like home, even though I’m from Montreal. They’re part of my family. It’s a beautiful commitment and a ballsy one because it’s an original film.” All being well, next up will be a Janis Joplin biopic to star Amy Adams. The actress must be rubbing s her hands in glee. ■ Gyllenhaal in Demolition

The legacy of conflict Land Of Mine, based on the true story of mine clearance by German POWs in Denmark, makes its bow tonight in TIFF’s Platform. Wendy Mitchell meets writer-director Martin Pieter Zandvliet
M
artin Pieter Zandvliet’s Land Of Mine is that rare film that feels both epic and intimate. The Danish writer-director’s third feature tackles the large-scale tragedy of war and retribution while reminding us of the human connection between individuals of opposing backgrounds. K5 handles international sales on the German co-production, which screens tonight as part of the new Platform competition. The story tackles a little-known chapter in Danish history, when German POWs, some only teenagers, were forced to clear 2 million German landmines — with their bare hands — from the west Danish coast following the German evacuation of Denmark at the end of the Second World War. “I’ve always wondered about the ‘official’ Danish Second World War self-image of being the good but oppressed nation that did its utmost to help under the circumstances,” says Zandvliet. “But the Danes collectively repressed their hate of the German occupational forces for five years.” While the narrative is fictionalised, many of the facts are not, not least the number of mines or that 2,000 people were assigned to the task — “and 900 of them blew up”. The director did his own research and decided the focus of the story was not only the group of young Germans but also the Danish sergeant, Carl Rasmussen, assigned to supervise their work. Played by Roland Moller in his first leading role (with the actor deliver-
‘It is important we learn to forgive and look at each other with love instead’ Martin Pieter Zandvliet
ing a meaty performance), Rasmussen becomes the film’s moral compass. “I always believed in the words he says,” asserts Zandvliet. “I believed in his anger.” The young Germans were all played by amateur actors between the ages of 14 and 19, discovered through Berlin-based casting expert Simone Bär. With a budget of $5.4m (¤4.8m), Land Of Mine is by far the film-maker’s biggest production to date, after Applause (2009) and A Funny Man (2011). All three films were produced by Mikael Rieks at Nordisk Film. The director says the story is timely given the conflicts going on today. “In every war in every country, we have the aftermath,” says Zandvliet, whose upcoming projects include submarine rescue story Kursk for EuropaCorp and Noomi Rapace starrer The Great Americans. “It’s important we learn to forgive and look at each other with love instead — or at least not see everybody as the enemy.”
16 Screen International at Toronto September 10, 2015
Congratulations on your film’s entry into TIFF. How did you come to it? Thank you very much. I’m very happy. It started in 2013, the year I won the Un Certain Regard Special Jury prize in Cannes, which was very exciting. Actually, I was even more excited to hear that this young man was in the running for the Arab Idol title. My sister told me the story about how he travelled to the competition against all the odds. When I got home from Cannes, I was there with thousands of people in a square hoping to hear his name announced as the winner. And I don’t even like these programmes. Suddenly I was one of millions of people screaming and happy. Finally we had a kind of win after so many defeats and sadnesses. About a year later I met with Ali Jafaar, who had bought the rights to the film, and he produced it with Amira Diab. It has had money from Palestine, the Netherlands, Qatar, Dubai and UK. What was the biggest challenge during the shoot? To balance the moving and melodramatic elements with the need for strong characters and story.
How is star Tawfeek Barhom’s singing? Well, he just mimes [laughs]. We used Assaf’s voice. Nadine Labaki has a cameo in the film. Are there any others? Yes, when Nadine heard the story she cried. Assaf is in it briefly, as is MBC head Ali Jaber. Seville International has sold the film well, including to MBC for the Middle East. Will MBC’s distribution include Palestine? Yes, it should play in every corner of Palestine but there aren’t so many cinemas so it should play in alternative screening venues. What’s next? The moment the script is ready, it will be The Mountain Between Us. It’s with Fox and is currently being re-written by Brad Desch [Fathers And Daughters]. Interview by Andreas Wiseman
Hany Abu-Assad on the set of The Idol
How difficult is it to get films made about Palestine today? This is the first time I’ve tried to make a ‘popular’ movie. It can be a big challenge. Most of my films have been tragic. But this one has real commercial appeal. You can see that from the deals that have been done. Do you think this story can travel well in the Arabic-speaking world? It will. In general, the wider audience are very sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, but they don’t necessarily want to hear all the time about the problems in Palestine. This is one of the first times we don’t have a miserable story. I expect it to be a huge hit in the Middle East because Mohammed is a huge star in the Middle East.

INTERVIEW HOU HSIAO-HSIEN
‘I found those places — kind of lost places — in China. We didn’t even have to do the set decoration, everything was right there’ Hou Hsiao-Hsien
The Assassin: a change of genre for feted filmmaker Hou Hsiao-Hsien
A master martial artist Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien has had a banner year, with Cannes’ best director prize under his belt and a stint on the Venice jury. Ahead of its TIFF screening, he talks to Damon Wise about The Assassin
‘‘P
ure image is a rare thing nowadays,” says Hou Hsiao-Hsien, who, alongside the late, lionised Edward Yang, was a pioneer of the Taiwanese New Wave in the early 1980s. Like Yang, Hou has occupied a very special place in world cinema ever since — he is a low-key yet significant figure on the international festival circuit who may not have experienced the mainstream crossover success that has greeted other Asian directors such as Ang Lee, John Woo and Wong Kar Wai, but whose works are studied by film scholars for their aesthetic and structure. Now 68, the Taipei-based film-maker has been feted by Venice and Berlin and has been a regular visitor to Cannes since 1988, when his film Daughter Of The Nile secured a berth in Directors’ Fortnight. It is noteworthy that when Hou returned to the Croisette this year —
where he took the best director prize for his long-gestating project The Assassin, his first Cannes prize since 1993’s The Puppetmaster — it was with a film that was deemed out of character. Far removed from his more typical efforts, which deal with Taiwanese history and culture from the last century, The Assassin (which has a P&I screening here at TIFF today, 17:15) was both a period story, set in the Chinese Tang Dynasty era of the ninth century, and a wuxia film of the kind popularised by King Hu and Shaw Brothers. Long-time admirers of Hou, however, were not as surprised as Cannes audiences perhaps were — the director once addressed this, saying, “I (Right) Hou takes Cannes’ best director prize for The Assassin
18 Screen International at Toronto September 10, 2015
don’t try new things every time, as Western critics [might] think, but rather I set different limits.” Still, Hou was definitely not expecting The Assassin — the elliptical tale of a hitwoman (Shu Qi) ordered to kill the man she once intended to marry — to take one of the three main prizes given by the Coen brothers-headed jury. “I understand that in Europe they have a unique vision on image,” Hou says, “different from the USA. But I didn’t expect they would accept [my film], especially when I did the editing. I did a lot of
jump cuts, I took out all those sequences I was not satisfied with, or where the performances of my actors did not work well for me. I am happy they could appreciate my film.” The unusually long gap between The Assassin and Hou’s previous film, the French co-production Flight Of The Red Balloon which played Un Certain Regard in 2007, led to speculation about issues with the production. In the past, this prolific film-maker has rarely left more than a two or three-year gap between releases. But Hou claims The Assassin’s delay was purely pragmatic. “I was president of Taipei Film Festival and then [on the executive committee of ] the Golden Horse Film Festival for the past eight years,” he says. “I felt I could not do both things at the same time. I had to concentrate on my president job and, when my duties were finished, I started preparation on The Assassin.” Hou’s first port of call was the

famous Zizhi Tongjian, a chronicle of Chinese history from the year 960 to 1279. More research followed, and Hou discovered female assassins were not uncommon during that time. “There were a lot of female assassins during the Tang dynasty,” he says. “It was a very unique era, all kinds of female assassins. Some of them just hid themselves in a normal life for many years, just to wait for the right moment to complete their mission. “There is a story about a female assassin who even got married and had a kid — and when the moment came to complete her mission, she even killed her child.” Although this seems far removed from the social realism of Millennium Mambo or Café Lumiere, Hou insists a powerful thread unites his films: “Human beings. I care about people.” It is a factor that makes casting such a crucial part of the process for Hou. “First come the actors,” he says, “and then I will find a role for each of them. Looking for an actor is a very difficult job. It is a great opportunity when you meet an actor that you want to work with, like Shu Qi. “For me,” he continues, “it is not a question of casting actors, but casting roles for actors. If I didn’t have the actor
first, it would be difficult for me. I prefer, and I think it’s faster, to have an actor first, then write a story for him or her.” Although Hou was well versed in wuxia literature, his research did not extend to revisiting its cinematic origins, noting the extreme difficulty of making films in the genre in the days before computers, when “they could not control the wires very well”. Hou’s cast were untrained in martial-arts choreography, requiring weeks of rigorous preparation. “They had to practise all the time and, at the beginning, they also had to learn to control their faces,” he notes. “If a normal person does a big martial-arts move, they will have a tortured face, but a highlevel martial-arts person won’t. A cool, cold assassin won’t show any expression on her face, but at the beginning Shu Qi couldn’t help it.” Creating the look With critics falling over themselves to praise The Assassin’s ravishing style, Hou insists that part of the film came to him organically. “The human brain is not like a computer,” he says. “We did research first, to understand the Tang dynasty’s lifestyle and to create the locations and, once the locations were done, I would

Our production designer went to India and Korea to buy lots of silk tissues. She then used them to make the curtains and the clothes — under the candlelight, the colours are quite beautiful.” While the production design fits perfectly with the atmospheric sets and locations, Hou shrugs off any suggestion that he faced a challenging shoot. “It was quite OK,” he insists. “I found those places — kind of lost places — in China.

FEATURE MONGREL MEDIA
C
harlotte Mickie and Hussain Amarshi had been talking for some time about setting up an international adjunct to Amarshi’s widely respected Mongrel Media, and they finally took the plunge at Cannes in 2014. Mickie, a Canadian arthouse champion, had previously headed sales and held senior posts at Celluloid Dreams, Maximum Films and — most recently — eOne Films International. She had been looking for a place where she could continue to champion and serve bold voices. The longtime friends talked it over and Mickie was appointed president of Mongrel International in May 2014, launching global sales on the Croisette for Aisling Walsh’s romance Maudie, set to star Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke. In the ensuing 16 months, Mickie has deployed her smarts and connections to cultivate a stirring (and busy) roster. “The slate is meant to represent a mix of higher-profile intelligent, adult movies with name cast and directors combined with discovered gems from new voices or alternative voices,” Mickie says. “We’re looking for great stories and characters and ‘cinema’, but above all we’re searching for authenticity. We’re looking for what’s real even if it’s completely fantastical like [Guy Maddin’s] The Forbidden Room, has genre elements like Beeba Boys or it’s a drama like The Daughter.” Theatre director Simon Stone’s The Daughter, which has been programmed for both Venice and Toronto festivals, contains the quality that’s of utmost importance to Mickie. “Emotional truth… Maybe I felt the movie was a bit of a coda for our mission when I pursued the acquisition,” she says. As a Canadian distributor, Amarshi has found success with the Sony Pictures Classics pipeline and, more recently, acquisitions such as Boyhood, Ex_Machina and Amy. “Hussain felt there would be interesting synchronicities between domestic and international divisions on the Canadian films with respect to the knowledge base, the acquisitions and the marketing,” Mickie says. “We’ve already seen that magic come into play with Beeba Boys and Maudie. On our non-Canadian films that we distribute in Canada, we’re often adopting campaigns. On the Canadian films we create the campaign from scratch.”
Odessa Young in The Daughter
Truth and dares Charlotte Mickie continues to champion bold, authentic voices at Mongrel Media’s new international arm. Jeremy Kay talks to her about the company’s diverse slate
‘We’re looking for great stories and characters and “cinema”, but above all we’re searching for authenticity’ Charlotte Mickie, Mongrel International
Toronto launches Mongrel’s Toronto slate is predictably eclectic. “It’s a big market and we did very well last year,” Mickie says of business at the festival, despite it not having an official market. “It’s right up there with Cannes, Berlin and the AFM. It’s probably a little bit better for showing finished films in the festival or festivals close by. People do want to hear about projects we’re launching.” The Daughter, Stone’s feature debut, is on the Toronto sales slate and plays here tomorrow as a Special Presentation. The drama about family secrets, which stars Geoffrey
20 Screen International at Toronto September 10, 2015
Rush, Paul Schneider, Sam Neill, Miranda Otto and newcomers Odessa Young and Ewen Leslie, is also closing Venice Days. Mickie describes Deepa Mehta’s Toronto world premiere Beeba Boys as “the first gangster film made by a woman in a long time”. Cuba-set Viva is a Havana drag-act father-son drama from Irish director Paddy Breathnach that Mickie says is “fantastic”, while Maudie leads the pre-sales slate and is ready to start production in Newfoundland in September. Peter Greenaway’s Walking To Paris is a biopic about the sculptor Constantin Brancusi that begins shooting in Italy and Romania in October. Recent pick-up Jasper Jones, a murder-mystery adaptation, will shoot with director Rachel Perkins in Australia in October. Porchlight Films, the team behind Animal Kingdom, The Hunter and The Rover, produces. “We’re very selective,” says Mickie. “You need a certain number of films because people have to have a reason to visit you but we’re really trying to choose what we love
and are passionate about, and things that are consistent with the Mongrel brand.” All of which should help navigate a sales landscape in flux that, Mickie says, demands sharp eyes and a quick response to corral a dwindling number of gems. Mongrel International generally does not invest in development, but will come on board a project early as a way of putting money into the film. It engages with VoD but continues to champion cinema that has “some sort of theatrical life”. “On the sales side,” she says, “hopefully s clients share my taste.” ■
