The Banker || George Nolfi






via Apple TV

They built an empire like nobody’s business. The Apple Original Film #TheBanker comes to theaters on Dec 6.

Based on a true story, “The Banker” centers on revolutionary businessmen Bernard Garrett (Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (Samuel L. Jackson), who devise an audacious and risky plan to take on the racially oppressive establishment of the 1960s by helping other African Americans pursue the American dream. Along with Garrett’s wife Eunice (Nia Long), they train a working class white man, Matt Steiner (Nicholas Hoult), to pose as the rich and privileged face of their burgeoning real estate and banking empire – while Garrett and Morris pose as a janitor and a chauffeur. Their success ultimately draws the attention of the federal government, which threatens everything the four have built.

The drama is directed by George Nolfi (“The Adjustment Bureau”) and produced by Joe Viertel. Brad Feinstein produced under his Romulus Entertainment banner, along with producers Nolfi, Nnamdi Asomugha, Jonathan Baker, David Lewis Smith and Anthony Mackie. The executive producers are Joseph F. Ingrassia, Samuel L. Jackson, Will Greenfield, David Gendron and Ali Jazayeri. “The Banker” is written by Niceole Levy, George Nolfi, David Lewis Smith and Stan Younger from a story by David Lewis Smith, Stan Younger and Brad Caleb Kane.

Julian Schnabel’s AT ETERNITY’S GATE Trailer








… official trailer for At Eternity’s Gate, a biography movie starring Willem Dafoe, Oscar Isaac and Mads Mikkelsen. In theaters November 16, 2018. 
 Julian Schnabel’s At Eternity’s Gate is a journey inside the world and mind of a person who, despite skepticism, ridicule and illness, created some of the world’s most beloved and stunning works of art. This is not a forensic biography, but rather scenes based on Vincent van Gogh’s (Academy Award® Nominee Willem Dafoe) letters, common agreement about events in his life that present as facts, hearsay, and moments that are just plain invented. 

Willem Dafoe gives a ‘magnificent performance’ as the troubled Van Gogh in Julian Schnabel’s ‘gloriously artistic’ film. (BBC Film Review, By Caryn James)

The episodes about Van Gogh’s death are problematic. The film shows him not committing suicide, as is commonly thought, but being shot by two local boys, one of them dressed as Buffalo Bill. And as the film progresses, Schnabel emphasises Van Gogh’s near-mystic visions. The film doesn’t decide whether they were the source of his artistic genius, or symptoms of illness, or both, but leans toward the ‘mad genius’ definition of the artist. When Van Gogh says on his deathbed, “Don’t blame anyone,” he becomes Christ-like, a choice that threatens to reduce a richly defined character to a one-dimensional saint. 
There is no need to share Schnabel’s interpretation, though. Agree with him or not, he allows viewers to experience the mystery of creativity in this gloriously artistic film.

LA NEGRADA || Jorge Pérez Solano






LA NEGRADA trailer from TIRISIA CINE on Vimeo.




TIRISIA CINE

LA NEGRADA cuenta la historia de Magdalena y Juanita, dos mujeres unidas en el mundo espiritual por su tona, su animal guardián, y en la vida material por Neri, esposo de Juanita y amante de Magdalena. La muerte de Juanita le dará la claridad a Magdalena para retomar su vida sin Neri. En México, las poblaciones de origen africano representan alrededor del 1% y todavía no han sido reconocidos como pueblo, grupo étnico o referente cultural, lo que los ha orillado a la marginación y discriminación social. LA NEGRADA es la primera película de ficción rodada en una de esas comunidades, con gente de la localidad, actores no profesionales. Es un esfuerzo por darles voz y hacerlos visibles.
