Asia Pacific Arts: Preview of "Silmido": Blowback on the Korean Peninsula Some films, such as JSA or Shiri, both of which sought to humanize North Koreans, can perhaps be linked to the 'Sunshine Policy.' This film, however, seems to me to be better understood within the context of the democratization of South Korea. However, unlike recent films humanizing North Koreans such as box office hits Shiri (1999) and Joint Security Area (2000), Silmido further challenges the loosening of government censorship and may even be more revolutionary in that it is based on a real-life event, one that the South Korean government would most like to forget. Silmido is a powerful reflection of the progression of South Korea’s democracy, particularly pertaining to the “Sunshine Policy,” which won President Kim Dae Jung the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000, in that it directly faces the issue of post-war peace struggle between the North and South. www.asiaarts.ucla.edu /article.asp?parentid=6260   (2024 words)

ABS-CBN Interactive The film that was sold -- "Little Miss Sunshine" -- went for a hefty price, more than $10 million, which when all the contract details are known may surpass the festival's record film sale of $10.25 million spent for "Happy, Texas" in 1999. Among the films getting good buzz at Sundance are "Thank You for Smoking," a comedy about a man promoting tobacco sales, which Fox Searchlight will distribute, "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Illusionist," starring Edward Norton as a magician who uses his tricks to battle an Austrian prince for the woman he loves. They say that the lack of acquisitions highlighted what many festival watchers expected: the 2006 film slate was much less mainstream than in recent years. www.abs-cbnnews.com /storypage.aspx?StoryId=28108   (1117 words)

village voice > film > by Ed Halter More recently, Anthology hosted a movie-watching scene in Spike Lee's Summer of Sam (1999) and a similar segment with Jim Carrey for Charlie Kaufman's upcoming Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, directed by Michel Gondry. The ominous squad of cop cars and ambulances gathered around Anthology Film Archives a few Tuesdays ago wasn't due to just another New York bomb scare. Administrative director John Mhiripiri reports that the income from the shoot "was like a little grant" and the building was scrubbed and repainted in the process. www.villagevoice.com /issues/0321/halter2.php   (243 words)

Spotlight Rachel Weisz Rachel then returned to her roots as a Hungarian Jew in the epic film Sunshine (1999), where she starred opposite Ralph Fiennes, whom she would work with again, in a role that garnered her a Genie Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 2000. Her next film, Enemy at the Gates, starring Jude Law and Joseph Fiennes, fared better.

Review: Sunshine Istvan Szabo's Sunshine was one of many motion pictures shown during the festival's 1999 edition to transpire during the war years in Europe, but, while most of those were intimate stories, this one is epic in both scope and length. On one level, Sunshine can be viewed as little more than an entertaining historical melodrama about the tribulations of a group of characters set against the backdrop of the century's most important historical events. The film's spark plug is Jennifer Ehle (who had the lead role in the astounding made-for-TV miniseries of Pride and Prejudice), who brings a spirit to young Valerie that is as fiery as her red hair. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/s/sunshine.html   (644 words)

Review: Sunshine The longest film screened during the 1999 festival, Sunshine runs an unapologetic three hours, and features a high-level, international cast that includes Ralph Fiennes, Rosemary Harris, Rachel Weisz, John Neville, and William Hurt. Istvan Szabo's Sunshine was one of many motion pictures shown during the festival's 1999 edition to transpire during the war years in Europe, but, while most of those were intimate stories, this one is epic in both scope and length. Szabo, the acclaimed director of such films as 1981's Mephisto (for which he won a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar), has lavished a great deal of time and attention on crafting a grand, beautifully shot motion picture that engages audiences for the full running length. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/s/sunshine.html   (579 words)

Central Europe Review - Kinoeye: Milos Forman abroad Forman's examination of free speech as analogous to a free society seems close to Szabó's examination of personality and cultural identity ultimately overwhelming the calamitous events of twentieth century Hungarian history in Sunshine (1999). Both Forman and his contemporary, the Hungarian auteur István Szabó now fashion big-budget films with an historical sweep and a sense of the "inalienable rights of man": the protests of their generation for "socialism with a human face" collide conveniently with the principals of the American constitution. So his relationship with his audience was tempered with the understanding that the debate at hand was handicapped if the film is compromised: the director's job is to bring the audience up to a level, not to talk down to them. www.ce-review.org /00/32/kinoeye32_halligan.html   (919 words)

Jennifer Ehle Ehle was cast in perhaps her most high-profile screen role to date in 1999, when she starred as the wife of a Hungarian lawyer (Ralph Fiennes) in István Szabó's epic Sunshine, a historical drama tracing the fortunes of three generations of a Hungarian Jewish family. However, the actress' involvement in the film, which also starred real-life mother Harris as the older version of her character, was overshadowed in theatrical circles by her work on the stage that same year. Ehle ultimately won the award, the latest honor in what looked to be, like her mother's, a very long and vibrant career. www.djangomusic.com /actor_bio.asp?pid=P224413   (410 words)

VH1.com : Movies : Person : Peter Falk : Biography Falk continued to work in both film and television for the rest of the decade, starring in various Columbo specials, appearing with Woody Allen in the made-for-TV The Sunshine Boys in 1997, and playing a bar owner caught up in mafia dealings in 1999's The Money Kings. A diminutive, stocky, and unkempt presence, Falk's early screen roles often portrayed him as a blue-collar type or as a thug; it was as the latter in 1960's Murder Inc. that he earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination, a major career boost. Born September 16, 1927, in New York City, Falk lost an eye at the age of three, resulting in the odd, squinting gaze which later became his trademark. www.vh1.com /movies/person/19906/bio.jhtml   (586 words)
