	Film/Classic: Ronin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The car chase is one of the greatest ever filmed through the streets and tunnels and highways of Paris as she drives in the wrong lanes.
		It is a coda almost like that in "Heat" in which Al Pacino holds Robert de Niro's hand as de Niro dies from Pacino's gunshots, a silent camaraderie and indeed that is what this movie is really about, trust and strangers.
		Michael Lonsdale, who was superb as the detective in "The Day of The Jackal," was the villain the James Bond film "Moonraker," Jonathan Pryce was the villain in the James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies," and Sean Bean played 006 in the James bond movie, "Goldeneye."

	[Closed] The World of Tintin Conference - Tintinologist.org Forums
		The first talk was by Michael Farr, author of 'Tintin The Complete Companion', as he went through some slides mainly reflecting the content of his excellent book, that is Hergé's research sources, but he had many interesting notes to add.
		Michael Turner looks very much as though he could quite easily become one of Hergé's mad professor characters, but they are both lovely and approachable people.
		The last item on the day's agenda was the UK premiere showing of the documentary 'Tintin et Moi', which I was very much looking forward to, but while that was being set up there was a bit of a disorganised jumble to get autographs from the participants of the day's unique gathering.

	Munich - Critics Review - My Way Movies
		Louis and Papa (Michael Lonsdale) add welcome intrigue to Spielberg's balancing act, testing Avner's allegiance and giving us a peek inside the world of international espionage, where Black September might work for the CIA, and loyalty is not always what it seems.
		Lonsdale gives a marvelous performance as Papa, the only character Kushner wrote gray.
		He's shady by profession, but wise, warm and fiercely protective of his family, and his moral compromise - as an equal opportunist, he may be willing to sell information on Avner to the Palestinians - is more substantive than any other in the film.

		Michael Caine always can anchor a spy flick, and this is no exception.
		While the plot is a trifle flat, and a couple of the supporting actors (Victoria Tennent) are stretched beyond their abilities, the cinemagraphic techniques and direction by John Frankenheimer are superb.
		In it Michael Caine inherets $4 billion from his Nazi father to be used to make ammends to the people who were hurt during WW2.

		This time Bond is up against Drax (Michel Lonsdale), a criminal industrialist who wants to control the world from his orbiting space station.
		The audio commentary has executive producer Michael Wilson in conversation with director Lewis Gilbert, screenwriter Christopher Wood and associate producer William Cartlidge, who are all obviously having a good time watching the movie together again.
		Lonsdale gives us probably the best villain since Auric Goldfinger with some wonderful lines - Like a lord of the Manor with "May I press you to a cucumber sandwich?" to the classic instruction to Chan "Look after Mr.

	Moonraker
		This is all possible because said wealthy businessman is Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), owner of Drax Industries, which just so happens to build the Space Shuttle for the US government.
		Michael Lonsdale did one of the better Bond jobs as the villain, and Richard Kiel even managed to get a line in this one!
		Bond veteran Lewis Gilbert was pulling the directorial strings here and not that effectively in all honesty, and the crew in general had a large number of Bond veterans doing their stuff, to varying degrees of success.

		The story just becomes a prop device to help show the mercenaries' special sense of honor in regards to working with people who might've been enemies in the past and the murky world they now live in after the collapse of the fl and white sensibility that was the Cold War.
		Lonsdale describes the 47 Ronin miniatures to DeNiro by talking about the need to serve something outside of one's self, a man without a master.
		Lonsdale picks up an Exacto knife with which he sculpts his miniature ronin, points it at his own belly, and moves it from camera right to left to describe this suicide.

	Munich Review (2005)
		They say home is where heart is. But if you don’t have a home, or can’t live in your home or don’t show allegiance to your home then it makes the situation difficult or confusing to follow your heart.
		The film comes loaded not just with guns and explosive devices (and some startlingly appropriate graphic deaths) but also with a potpourri of intriguing counterspies, political and religious comrades as well as colorful informants.
		Michael Lonsdale takes a delish turn as the papa of a small information for hire group who like Avner enjoys his time in the kitchen.

	Name Of The Rose Movie Rewind «
		Once inside the grounds they are welcomed by the Abbott (Lonsdale) who informs them of an unfortunate incident involving the death of one of their own, found broken and mutilated near the graveyard.
		They are told of the widespread belief that the presence of evil is at work and when elder monks surmise that the devil himself roams the abbey, the inquisitive William of Baskerville sets out to confirm this as unsound.
		Both Lonsdale and Abraham are excellent along with Salvatore the doomed hunchback played by Ron Pearlman who again is immense with his gargoyle like features, comic yet mesmerizing with his monkish appearance.

	Moonraker: Special Edition (1979)
		When Bond investigates the hijacking of an American space shuttle, he and beautiful CIA agent Holy Goodhead (Lois Chiles) are soon locked in a life-or-death struggle against Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), a power-mad industrialist whose horrific scheme may destroy all human life on earth!
		The plot concerns supervillain Drax (Michael Lonsdale) and his attempt to destroy mankind and start his own master race in outer space.
		Although I prefer the usual Bond commentary formula that cobbles together the track from interviews with a variety of participants, this screen-specific piece - for which all of the speakers were recorded at the same time - offers a refreshingly frank and fun view of the movie.

	DVD Times - The Name of the Rose
		The wise and scholarly Franciscan monk, William of Baskerville (Sean Connery), arrives with his young apprentice, Adso (Christian Slater), at a prestigious abbey in northern Italy in advance of a debate between representatives of the Pope and the Franciscan order regarding the Church's wealth.
		However, they discover that a series of horrific murders is in progress at the abbey, and the Abbot (Michael Lonsdale) entrusts William with the task of getting to the bottom of it.
		The clergy believe the murders to have been perpetrated by the Devil, but William, who is significantly ahead of the times compared to his brethren, suspects mortal misdeeds.

		James Bond and Holly Goodhead are blasted into space to prevent a space happy rich guy from putting into effect his deadly world take-over plans.
		Michael Lonsdale, as the villain Hugo Drax, is rather bland.
		As performed by Michael Lonsdale ("The Name of the Rose"), Drax comes across as a low energy brooder.

		A Nazi pact to steal a fortune from the Third Reich to aid Holocaust survivors results in a bizarre inheritance 40 years later, with architect Michael Caine having to come to terms with his father's past and the terrifying prospects of a Fourth Reich.
		The film was based on Robert Ludlum's bestseller and coscripted by George Axelrod (The Manchurian Candidate).
		Terrific audio commentary by the director provides valuable insight--for instance, allowing Lonsdale to carry a long exposition scene through his commanding presence.

		There she befriends a group of seemingly uptight priests who pay lip service to St. Joseph before engaging the girl in a game of poker where various religious icons serve as ante.
		No one hedges his or her bets and we're reminded of an earlier outburst by one of the film's characters: "Faith succeeds where science fails." At the inn, the various guests (including a young man in love with his aunt) gather together in the room of a hatter (Michael Lonsdale), and his "associate" Mlle.
		They toast to "chance" encounters but the evening ends abruptly when the woman begins to beat the hatter on his bare bottom with a whip.

		Later, he meets Louis father (Michael Lonsdale), a shaggy old St. Bernard of a man who dispenses enigmatic aphorisms while preparing elaborate meals at his exquisite country estate.
		Not as on-the-nose as most of the rest of the flabby script by playwright Tony Kushner and Eric Roth, these scenes are conspicuously well written and acted by Amalric and Lonsdale and exist on a level only approached again by a scene involving an exceedingly fetching girl (Marie-Josee Croze) in a hotel bar.
		Interludes echo the theme of French duplicity in such matters that were central to Hitchcock's "Topaz," and also remind that very little goes down in the Middle East without the French being involved behind the scenes, a point "Syriana" is remiss to ignore.

	Munich
		Steven Spielberg's new political thriller bristles with 9/11 overtones, but doesn't stimulate the mind and heart in a pulse-quickening way.
		While he has haunting nightmares, it still is hard for one to really get into his plight, a journey that works in some graphic flashbacks of Black September.
		Better is the section involving a shadowy French operative (Michael Lonsdale) and an alluring woman (Marie-Josee Croze) who affects the squad.

	Ma vie est un enfer / My Life Is Hell / 1991 / film review / Josiane Balasko (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Distribution: Daniel Auteuil (Abargadon), Josiane Balasko (Léah Lemonier), Richard Berry (Xavier Langsam), Michael Lonsdale (L’Archange Gabriel), Catherine Samie (Flo Lemonier), Jean Benguigui (Chpil, le voisin), Jessica Forde (Scarlett), Luis Rego (Pazou, le barman), Catherine Hiegel (Lilith), Ticky Holgado (El Diablo),
		Whilst virtually eclipsed by Auteuil, Josiane Balasko makes a solid contribution as the film's unwitting Faust character, relying on her dowdy and somewhat vulgar screen persona which she seems unable to break away from.
		Casting Michael Lonsdale as the Archangel Gabriel is a stroke of genius; his godfather-like portrayal of the Heavenly emissary is probably the best thing about this film, particularly the scenes where he is on the phone talking anxiously to his paymaster.

		It's a riveting cat-and-mouse game between the mysterious lone-wolf hired assassin known only by his code name of the Jackal (Edward Fox) and the French Inspector Lebel (Michael Lonsdale), the master policeman in charge of the investigation.
		Zinnemann's technique emphasizes the details of how the cold-blooded contract killer will complete the job and eschews the politics, keeping the action restrained and building in tension to the concluding assassination attempt.
		The casting coups include the suave British actor Edward Fox as the aristocratic, cunning and inconspicuous Jackal and Michael Lonsdale as the sympathetic clever honest cop who is doggedly on the killer's trail.

		The abbot is played by Michael Lonsdale (not too many years off of playing a James Bond villain).
		The Head of the Abbey Father Abbot, played by a sibilantly murmuring and creepy Michael Lonsdale, asks Baskerville to discreetly investigate before the arrival of the Inquisitor Gui who has a nasty habit of torturing and burning ostensibly innocent people.
		Christian Slater forgoes his vanity to play the young Adzo complete with Peter Beardsley bowl cut and the requisite bald patch and is suitably wide eyed with wonder one minute and intimidated the next.
