The beautiful and loving tribute to Paris features some of contemporary cinema's greatest directors and many of its brightest acting stars. 21 directors, including Oliver Assayas, Sylvain Chomet, Joel and Ethan Coen, Wes Craven, Alfonso Cuarón, Christopher Doyle, Alexander Payne, Walter Salles, Daniela Thomas, Tom Twyker, Gus Van Sant and South Africa's Oliver Schmitz, get to work with actors Fanny Ardant, Juliette Binoche, Steve Buscemi, Willem Dafoe, Gérard Depardieu, Marianne Faithfull, Ben Gazzara, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Bob Hoskins, Emily Mortimer, Nick Nolte, Natalie Portman, Miranda Richardson, Ludivine Sagnier and Elijah Wood.

Witty, romantic and unforgettable, the film is both a gorgeous tour of the city of light and packed with fantastic little stories. The filmmakers are all clearly in love with Paris and the French capital couldn't have asked for a sweeter or less pretentious love letter in return.

  • Uncle Boonmee: Interview with Apichatpong Weerasethakul

    Winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes festival, Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s new film has the magic of a fairy tale and the simplicity of a folk tale. Wonderfully immersive, slow and dreamy, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives centres loosely around a sick man in rural Thailand and his relatives, alive and dead.

HEADSHOT is based on a novel called “Rain Falling Up the Sky” by a well-known Thai writer, Win Lyovarin. Initially, the author did not intend to write it as a novel, but rather as a script for an indie movie forming part of a film noir project. For some reason, it did not materialise, so the writer decided to transform the script into a novel instead; or as he called it, a film noir novel.
