From 11th March on in the theatres : THE VOICES
Director: Marjane Satrapi
Stars: Ryan Reynolds, Gemma Arterton, Anna Kendrick
Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is that chipper guy clocking the nine-to-five at a bathtub factory, with the offbeat charm of anyone who could use a few friends. With the help of his court-appointed psychiatrist, he pursues his office crush (Gemma Arterton). However, the relationship takes a sudden, murderous turn after she stands him up for a date. Guided by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog, Jerry must decide whether to keep striving for normalcy, or indulge in a much more sinister path.
THE VOICES
van Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis)
met Ryan Reynolds, Gemma Arterton, Anna Kendrick, Jacki Weaver
genre: zwarte komedie / horror
- release 11 maart -
Cartoonist Marjane Satrapi is in de filmwereld bekend geworden met de Oscar genomineerde animatiefilm ‘Persepolis’. Met ‘The Voices’ bewijst ze opnieuw haar veelzijdig talent als regisseur.
De lieve en knappe Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) heeft een bizarre relatie met zijn kat en hond. Hij deelt het huis met zijn doortrapte kat Mr. Whiskers en trouwe hond Bosco. Terwijl Mr. Whiskers er alles aan doet om Jerry ervan te overtuigen dat hij een seriemoordenaar is, houdt Bosco hem op het rechte pad. Het is pas wanneer hij per ongeluk zijn bloedmooie collega Fiona (Gemma Arterton) vermoordt dat hij besluit om zijn medicatie terug te nemen. En de realiteit blijkt toch niet zo rooskleurig te zijn als hij had gehoopt.
Music often comes from a deep place, and in the case of Hannah Cohen’s stunning and heartrending second album, it’s very deep indeed. Mainly inspired by a painful break-up and the anxieties that loss can trigger, Pleasure Boy cushions its sadness in an exquisitely nuanced soundscape of aching melancholy and lush melody where Hannah’s vocal conveys all the different shades of heartbreak. Following the album’s completion, she’s survived the calamity and found a new level of happiness, but to paraphrase the classic Sixties hit, there will always be something there to remind her with Pleasure Boy.
‘Pleasure Boy’, like her debut ‘Child Bride’, was produced by Thomas Bartlett, aka Doveman, whose work with artists such as The National, Antony Hegarty and David Byrne singles him out as one of America’s current finest producers and collaborators, though he’s also a talented pianist. The dynamics of ‘Pleasure Boy’ was the result of Hannah and Bartlett, “bunkering down with my songs, experimenting with different tones and sounds, and layering them. My first record was so airy and roomy, I didn’t have patience for that again, I wanted more movement, something more mysterious and witchier, so we created this sound wall together.”
“I wanted the music to hurt, to have a visceral effect,” Hannah says. Her voice sometimes sounds delirious or icy; other times she recalls the vulnerable, piercing beauty of Harriet Wheeler (The Sundays) and Karen Peris (The Innocence Mission). But Pleasure Boy‘s sound wouldn’t exist without the vision that launched it. The album title arrived as the record took shape. “Pleasure Boy is a character of who it’s about, someone who represents gluttony and decadence and richness,” Hannah explains. She admits it was a tough record to make, given she was aiming to heal emotionally while feeling “devastated and hurt. But it wouldn’t be the record it is if I hadn’t done that.”
Pleasure Boy will be released 30th March on Bella Union.

Italian Screen Goddess Sophia Lorenin the newly HD Re-mastered Sunflower
Oscar-winning screen siren Sophia Loren’s classic Sunflower finally gets the release it deserves as it arrives on DVD and VOD on 26 January 2015, in a stunningly re-mastered version, presented in its original widescreen format courtesy of Argent Films.
Loren (Two Women, A Special Day) and award-winning leading man Marcello Mastroianni (Dolce Vita, 8½) are newlywed lovers torn apart by war, despite almost impossible odds they never give up on one another. Originally released in 1970, the film comes to DVD in a newly restored version, taken from HD elements, befitting its sumptuous photography (by Giuseppe Rotunno, who lit most Italian headliners including The Leopard, he was Fellini's cinematographer and received an Oscar nomination for All That Jazz), and production values.
Sunflower is presented for the first time in its entirety featuring eight minutes of previously unseen scenes and comes complete with an exclusive documentary Sophia, Yesterday Today Tomorrow, woven around an intimate interview with Loren. The DVD comes with alternative language options: the English language version and optional Italian audio with new improved, switchable, English subtitles.
