Javier Bardem Breaks Big
By Kevin Canfield
Though he's best known to American audiences for his Oscar-nominated role in Julian Schnabel's Before Night Falls, Javier Bardem is redefining audience expectations with starring roles in two of this fall's most anticipated movies, Mike Newell's Love in the Time of Cholera and the Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men.
Julian Schnabel Paints The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
By Phillip Williams
In his latest picture, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, artist-moviemaker Julian Schnabel returns to familiar terrain while managing to explore a new landscape. Like his previous outings, Basquiat and Before Night Falls, the film is a biopic—the story of an artist living on the margins of life, searching for his voice. The true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, one-time editor of Elle France, The Diving Bell brings us deep into the inner life of its main character, a man who, flush with all the trappings of worldly success, is suddenly felled by a debilitating stroke.
Tamara Jenkins Gets Savage
By David Fear
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A moviemaker workshops a script through the Sundance Institute, the finished feature gets accepted into the prestigious festival and the critical hosannas start pouring in. Then he or she gets courted by a number of studios, several projects stall and years pass… Soon, the moviemaker is regrettably relegated to the “Where are they now?” files, along with a number of other indie film alumni who sprint out of the gate and then find it hard to get a follow-up made.

Features: Todd Haynes Takes on Bob Dylan

Features: The Naked Truth About Film Nudity
By David Geffner

Features: Zach Helm’s World of Wonder
By Cristy Lytal
Zach Helm’s life may not be stranger than fiction, but it is sweeter than a fairytale. Plucked out of the playwriting scene in Chicago in 1997 to participate in a writers’ program at Fox 2000, he dreamt up Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium as a writing sample.
Features: Horror Film Festivals Rise from the Grave
By Nancy Rosenbaum
Screamfest horror film festival director Rachel Belofksy says she didn’t grow up loving scary movies. “As a little girl, I was terrified of everything,” she recalls. “All the vampire films freaked me out. Even as a teen, it wasn’t my thing.” Belofksy’s fear has since been supplanted by fandom. Now if you show her a good “decap” scene, she can explain its artistic merit, point by point.
