DUTCH VERSION:

Naar de SERIE Q van Jussi ADLER-OLSEN. Een film van Mikkel NØRGAARD ('Borgen')

Met Nikolaj Lie KAAS ('The Killing 3', 'The Idiots', 'Angels & Demons', 'Brothers', 'Adam's Apples') en Fares FARES ('Zero Dark Thirty', 'Snabba Cash')

THE KEEPER OF LOST CAUSES is de eerste verfilming van de boekenreeks SERIE Q van Jussi Adler-Olsen, over de afdeling onopgeloste zaken van de politie in Kopenhagen, onder leiding van detective Carl Mørck - in de film vertolkt door Nikolaj Lie Kaas. De thrillerreeks is zowel door pers als publiek goed onthaald en werd gepubliceerd in meer dan 40 talen. De 'Q' titels staan regelmatig in de bestsellerlijsten over heel Europa en Noord-Amerika.

Synopsis

Detective Carl Mørck, een notoir brompot, is chagrijniger dan ooit. Na een compleet misgelopen interventie, wordt hij verbannen naar de afdeling cold cases, weggemoffeld in de catacomben van het politiebureau. 'Departement Q' is opgericht met als enig doel oude, vastgelopen dossiers te archiveren. Dat is echter buiten de koppige Mørck gerekend. Veldwerk is het enige dat hem voldoening geeft. Samen met zijn nieuwe assistent Assad heropent Mørck de vijf jaar oude zaak van de verdwenen jonge politica Merete Lynggaard.

Het ongewone duo moet niet alleen een schijnbaar onoplosbaar mysterie ontrafelen waarbij ze hun eigen leven op het spel zetten, ze moeten ook opboksen tegen hun oversten, die allerminst verheugd zijn met hun manier van werken. Eigenwijs als ze zijn storten Carl en Assad zich in een jacht die hen meesleurt in de donkere onderstroom van misbruik en kwaad die schuilgaat onder het zo gepolijste imago van Scandinavië.

From 22 June through 14 September, EYE presents a major exhibition focusing on director David Cronenberg, who acquired cult status with his idiosyncratic films about the relationship between body, mind, technology and mass media. The exhibition explores Cronenberg’s world through the main themes of his films: the physical and psychological transformation of his protagonists.

Highlights of this exhibition include the weird and wonderful special effects items from Cronenberg’s films, together with bizarre props, set photos and original costumes. Cronenberg has worked with famous actors such as Jeff Goldblum, Keira Knightley, Holly Hunter, Jude Law, Jeremy Irons and Robert Pattinson, whom he challenged to push the boundaries of their profession. David Cronenberg – The Exhibition, curated by TIFF’s CEO & Director Piers Handling and former Artistic Director Noah Cowan, is produced for EYE in collaboration with TIFF and is coming to Europe for the first time.

This summer, in the series of exhibitions devoted to great narrative directors such as Kubrick and Fellini, EYE presents David Cronenberg – The Exhibition. Cronenberg (Toronto, 1943) acquired a true cult status as ‘master of horror’ with the movies Shivers (1975) and Rabid (1977). With Videodrome (1983) Cronenberg became one of the first filmmakers to focus on the – devastating – influence of mass media on humanity, and he sets out his vision on the extent to which the body can be affected by technology. Videodrome, re-released by EYE in digital format this summer, is an exploration of the dangers of reality TV and a scathing – and prophetic – critique of our contemporary media culture. His work is still very relevant in the current age of large-scale technological developments, often with unprecedented effects on the human psyche.

Exhibition

David Cronenberg – The Exhibition explores Cronenberg’s world through the key themes of his films: the physical and psychological transformation of his characters. The highlights of the exhibition comprise important objects and attributes from Cronenberg’s films, including photos, audiovisual fragments, artwork, set design and props, such as the helmet from Videodrome (1983), the game consoles from eXistenZ (1999), the surgical instruments from Dead Ringers (1988), the leg braces from Crash (1996), the typewriters from Naked Lunch (1991) and the Telepod from The Fly (1986). But above all, the display includes unique and bizarre special effects attributes, the scientific precision and artistic quality of which make them the jewels of the exhibition. Following the presentation in Toronto, the first port of call for this touring exhibition is Amsterdam, with a completely new exhibition design by Claus Wiersma.

Arrow Video is thrilled to announce the UK Blu-ray release of Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins…, the action-packed 1985 cult classic from renowned Bond director Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun). The movie will make its worldwide Blu-ray debut on 7th July 2014 in a newly restored transfer with a host of brand-new extra features.

Arrow Video’s newly-restored presentation of the feature, transferred from original film elements by MGM, comes with a bumper crop of special features, including all-new interviews with Joel Grey (who reflects on his role as Chiun), Oscar-nominated make-up expert Carl Fullerton and composer Carl Safan, who talks in some detail about his much-loved score.

The disc will also feature the much-awaited feature-length documentary Remo, Rambo, Reagan and Reds: The Eighties Action Movie Explosion which looks at 80s action cinema and where Remo Williams fits among his peers. The documentary includes new interviews with genre expert Bey Logan, Remo producers Larry Spiegel and Judy Goldstein, celebrated directors Sam Firstenberg (American Ninja) and Mark L. Lester (Commando), producers Don Borchers (Angel) and Garrick Dion (Drive), filmmaker and scholar Howard S. Berger and Professor Susan Jeffords (author of Hard Bodies: Hollywood Masculinity in the Reagan Era)

Alongside this, the Blu-ray disc will also feature the original theatrical trailer, a reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by The Red Dress and a sizable collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the origins of Remo Williams by Barry Forshaw and an on-set report from American Cinematographer magazine.

Synopsis

First they faked his death and gave him a new identity. Now a top secret organisation is training a former New York cop to combat corrupt forces operating outside of the law. His mentor, Chiun, is an ageing Korean master of the martial arts who can run on water and dodge speeding bullets.

Born on the pages of Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir’s The Destroyer series of men’s adventure novels, Remo Williams was placed in the capable hands of Bond director Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger, The Man with the Golden Gun) for his big-screen outing. Fred Ward (Tremors) plays the trainee assassin, with Academy Award-winner Joel Grey (Cabaret) occupying the role of Chiun.

With its classic set-piece atop the Statue of Liberty, much-loved score by Craig Safan and a healthy sense of its own silliness, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins… offers up a cracking slice of mid-eighties action.
