1999 in film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The movie is expected to be released in the United Kingdom in the upcoming February. Please note that following the tradition of the English language film industry, these are the top grossing films that were first released in the United States and Canada in 1999; because they may have made most of their income in a later year, they may not be the top-grossing films for calendar year.

Audition (1999 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Audition (オーディション; Ōdishon) is a 1999 film directed by Takashi Miike based on a Ryu Murakami novel of the same title, starring Ryo Ishibashi and Eihi Shiina. Aoyama's friend and colleague, Yoshikawa (Jun Kunimura), a film producer, devises a plan to hold a mock-audition, in which young, beautiful women would audition for the "part" of Aoyama's new wife, under the guise of auditioning for a new film.

Darcy's Korean Film Page - 1999 This is the second film this year to portray North Koreans in a sympathetic light; the last director to try this did so in the 1960s, and was subsequently jailed for his efforts. What makes this film so bad is not so much the cast, chosen from a growing population of Western actors working in Korea (although in truth their acting is quite terrible), but rather the script, which is packed with more tired cliches than I ever knew existed. With its splintered narrative and hardly a drop of blood, the film lingers instead on the dynamics of the classroom and the intensity of its young heroines. www.koreanfilm.org /kfilm99.html   (6125 words)

National Film Registry, 1999 The list is designed to reflect the full breadth and diversity of America's film heritage, thus increasing public awareness of the richness of American cinema and the need for its preservation. And, ominously, more films are lost each year -- through the ravages of nitrate deterioration, color-fading and the recently discovered 'vinegar syndrome,' which threatens the acetate-based (safety) film stock on which the vast majority of motion pictures, past and present, have been preserved," said Dr. Billington. For each title named to the Registry, the Library of Congress works to ensure that the film is preserved for all time, either through the Library's massive motion picture preservation program at Dayton, Ohio, or through collaborative ventures with other archives, motion picture studios, and independent filmmakers. www.loc.gov /film/nfr99.html   (510 words)

Film Reviews 1999 #3 If anything, this film is about the possibility of extreme separation covered by a thin facade of unity – much in the same way a fusion bomb still blows everything away (explosives...how apt – fat makes soap makes nitro makes dynamite...). The film was shot in Ipoh and Penang with detailed sets including the reconstructed palace in 1862, captured beautifully by Caleb Deschanel, edited by Roger Bondelli and enhanced by George Fenton's majestic score. [M] The last film to be seen on the eve of the new millennium is an at-times scathing satire of the superficial and shallow, hypocritical and hysterical, manipulative and masochistic world that is the movie industry. www.users.bigpond.com /chana2/f99c.html   (5690 words)

May 1999 - Film Without a doubt the movie is elegiac in tone and gorgeous to look at, but in the service of a wool-gathering romanticism so daffy that by the time it's over you may be scratching your head and wondering what all that lyricism was for. Adapted by Chen and the Chinese writer Yan Geling from Yan's novella, Xiu Xiu is a tribute to the martyrs of Chen's generation, the last to come of age under Mao's perversion of socialism. Understandably, the preferred mode of current films about the former Yugoslavia is the cinema of the absurd. www.theatlantic.com /ae/99may/99mayfi.htm   (675 words)

WFF :: Films :: 1999 Film Synopses The film’s strength lies in ensemble performances that convey the feeling that these actors truly are these characters.

CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 1999 The films of the day were unable once again to budge the Palme d'Or favorite Almodovar's All About My Mother. Full of killings but lacking in character interaction, Whitaker's character Ghost Dog is decidedly hip hop and the film a deception for the critics labeling it strictly easy entertainment.

Total Film (December 1999). While filming Sense And Sensibility, Ang Lee told his producer James Schamus he wanted to make a movie "with characters who have dirty fingernails". The boyish cast, with the exception of Rhys Myers (far too pretty to convince as a psychotic renegade), are outstanding, bringing maturity and gravitas to their performances. Where this film flounders is in its depiction of an ex-slave fighting on the Confederate side. easyweb.easynet.co.uk /cmgroves/Jewel/Magazines/TotalFilm/Dec99.html   (356 words)

The Encyclopedia of Fantastic Film and Television The main functions of the Blog will be to keep you up-to-date with behind-the-scenes developments at EOFFTV and also to act as an outlet for reviews and articles on films that may not quite fit the EOFFTV bill but which may be of interest anyway.

The 1999 Boston Film Festival   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) "The rest of the day is downhill from there." But it's just the beginning of the sardonic suburban satire and winsome tragedy of one of the best films of the year, the directorial debut of Sam Mendes, who's famed for his stage productions Cabaret and The Blue Room. Adrift in a '90s updating of John Cheever's white-collar wasteland (the film is reminiscent of that writer's "The Country Husband"), Lester is fed up with his bloodless wife, Carolyn (a thorny Annette Bening), his resentful daughter, Jane (Thora Birch), and his suck-up corporate job.
