Marking his first feature film since 2009's "Enter the Void," "Love" finds writer-director Gaspar Noé taking intimacy to a graphic third dimension. Starring Karl Glusman and Aomi Muyock, the drama centers on an American in Paris as he falls in love and experiments with drugs and a sexual threesome.
Noé debuted the 3D film at the Cannes Film Festival in May to all sorts of wide-ranging reactions, with Indiewire claiming it featured some of "the most hardcore onscreen sex ever to screen at the festival." Alchemy picked up the film for U.S. distribution but has not yet set a release date. "Love" opens in France on July 15.

Fresh from returning to one franchise in the form of Terminator: Genisys, Arnold Schwarzenegger is preparing to revive another classic character in the form of Conan the Barbarian. And according to the star, Chris Morgan's script is well on its way to being ready…
"I was hoping to do another one," says Arnie, "and I [liked] the idea of Conan having been king for a long time, then just threw it all away and went into retirement and went off into the mountains. That whole idea always appealed to me. Then of course he gets asked back because of some hideous and unbelievable things that are happening to the kingdom. So that’s when the battle begins again.”
"It needs some tweakage," he says of the script, "but really they’ve done an extraordinary job with it, very thoughtful, so I’m looking forward to working with them on that as soon as this gets out of the way. I’m very focused on one thing at a time. Then we do the next thing."

Synopsis
Rinko (Asuka Kurosawa from Cold Fish) and Shigehiko (novelist Yuji Kotari) are a strange couple, whose physical mismatch (she a lithe beauty, he an overweight, balding, obsessive-compulsive neurotic) is reflected in the complete lack of intimacy between them. They connect as human beings, but they live more like friends than as lovers and lead nearly independent lives. Both seem comfortable with this coexistence, but the desires that lurk beneath its surface are brought out with the introduction of a third element into the equation. When Rinko receives a package of candid photographs of herself masturbating and the sender (played by Tsukamoto himself) contacts her with the threat of exposing them to her husband, she submits herself to the anonymous voyeur's sexual games. If she wishes to get hold of all the negatives and prints, Rinko is to comply with a set of assignments that place her constantly on the borderline between humiliation and pleasure - the voyeur knows exactly what Rinko's personal erotic fantasies are and makes her act them out one by one.

AMY: THE GIRL BEHIND THE NAME
Een film van Asif Kapadia
VANAF 8 JULI IN DE BIOSCOOP
De talentvolle Amy Winehouse, gezegend met een unieke stem, is op korte tijd uitgegroeid tot een legende. Zoals een rasechte jazzartieste beaamt, vertaalde ze treffend haar eigen gebreken in haar teksten en optredens. Deze combinatie van rauwe eerlijkheid en talent zorgde voor vele populaire muzieknummers uit onze geschiedenis.
De permanente media-aandacht, het compliceerde leven van een buitengewoon succesbestaan en een heel onstabiele levensstijl veranderden het leven van Amy Winehouse echter in een kwetsbaar, geconstrueerd kaartenhuis. Aan dit kostbare talent kwam dan ook abrupt en vroegtijdig een einde.
Met Amy’s eigen woorden en onuitgegeven beelden vertelt Asif Kapadia (Senna, The Warrior) ons het verhaal van deze buitengewone artieste, bekroond met 6 Grammy Awards.
