Emmanuelle Riva, César, Lumière, and BAFTA Best Actress winner and Oscar nominee for Michael Haneke's Best Foreign Language Film winner Amour died at the age of 89 on Friday, January 27, 2017 in Paris.
Riva's performance with Eiji Okada in Alain Renais' Hiroshima Mon Amour in 1959 cuts so sharply to the truth about love and war that even after many viewings it is difficult to fully grasp the film's historical significance, storytelling innovations and stylistic brilliance.
Emmanuelle Riva in the hands of Jean-Louis Trintignant in Amour
Annette Insdorf, Professor in the Graduate Film Program of Columbia’s School of the Arts, Mademoiselle C director Fabien Constant, and Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words director Stig Björkman sent their remembrances.

Spring Fashion Talks at the French Institute Alliance Française kicked off with Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, moderated by Creative Digital Director for Vogue, Sally Singer, and crossed paths with the Tribeca Film Festival as the Haute Couture on Film series continued.
Inside the Florence Gould Hall Theater on April 15, while Bao Nguyen's Live from New York! was opening Tribeca at the Beacon Theatre, McCollough and Hernandez were referencing Harmony Korine, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Cate Blanchett, Gerhard Richter, Pearl Jam, Cindy Sherman, Kurt Cobain and, at one point, Sydney Pollack's Out Of Africa, complete with mid-century craftsmanship and mother nature as shaping Proenza Schouler creations. The designers appeared in Fabien Constant's exquisite documentary Mademoiselle C on Carine Roitfeld. Inspiration for them comes mostly from "posture, movement, attitude and spirit.

You have to love the camera.
If you know who Carine Roitfeld is, then you'll probably love her vanity project, Mademoisell C (2013). The film documents her brief self-employed period--between editor-in-chief at Vogue Paris and Global Fashion Director for Harpers Bazaar--publishing her own fashion book Cr. Many documentaries are pieced together by some nameless technician, Mademoiselle C is directed (mostly) with taste and a particular vision by Fabien Constant (who has a number of other fashion-centric documentaries to his credit). To say "mostly" was generous. In terms of screen time, Mademoiselle C most often resembles yet another Bravo competition fashion show, i.e. pointless, ineloquent, and (whenever possible) name-dropping. But when Constant gets on with the well-accompanied montage, cinematographers Raphael Laski and Matt Elkind create something special, not out of place in a well-produced narrative film.

Glenn here. After decades of trying to attain the same critical and cultural awareness as feature films, it appears documentaries are now suffering from a case of too much of a good thing. We’re in a day and age where documentaries are so common that it’s impossible for the Academy’s documentary branch to keep up. Apparently 151 docos have been submitted - an average of three a week! - for this year’s Oscars and just like Diane Keaton, something’s gotta give.
Last year the Academy set up a secret online forum of sorts for documentary branchmembers so they could post recommendations of titles to help whittle down the number of contenders. “Nobody’s recommended that anthopological documentary about North Atlantic fishermen? Fine, I’ll just watch Blackfish.” I like the idea in concept, but Leviathan was highly acclaimed so what then? Admittedly, it would be nice...

Poor Rita Ora… She had been showing off her beautiful new long hair extensions throughout Paris Fashion Week and her frenemies must have had enough of her stealing the spotlight. So for one of the chicest events at Paris Fashion Week, the Mademoiselle C Cocktail Party, her "friends" must have talked her into wearing her new tresses in mouse ear knots. Not cool. Then to complete the cartoon look, someone fetched a black bow headband from a Minnie Mouse costume and attached a lace veil and sent her on her merry way. She must have been looking around the party at celebrities like Katy Perry and Miranda Kerr looking amazing, schmoozing with fashion royalty like Karl Lagerfeld and Giuseppe Zanotti, and...

Miranda Kerr has basically taken Paris by storm this week! The model has been making the most of her overseas trip by mixing work and play in a big way. Between stomping the runway for A-list designers, Miranda has been attending high-profile events and even taking time for some retail therapy (but not without a couple of outfit changes). She was spotted today juggling bags while leaving the Balmain store and even snapped a few photos with designer Olivier Rousteing before heading out with her purchases and quipped, "Miranda goes Balmainiac." Miranda touched down in Paris over the weekend and quickly jumped into work, hitting the runway for Stella McCartney on Sunday and Chanel on Monday. She broke from work to support her pal Carine Roitfeld at the Paris screening of her documentary, Mademoiselle C, which also brought out Katy Perry and a cleavage-baring Kim Kardashian. Now that Fashion Week has wrapped up,...

How low can they go?! That's the question people are asking about celebs like Kim Kardashian, Miranda Kerr, Cara Delevingne, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who are part of a trend of fashion-savvy stars flaunting their assets in dangerously deep necklines -- and risking wardrobe malfunctions in the process. Kardashian, 32, took the trend to extremes on Tuesday, Oct. 1, when she hit the streets of Paris with Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci.

Meanwhile, Katy Perry was also flying solo at the bash, but she made plenty of friends at the screening's afterparty, chatting with Ciara, Carine, and Fashion Week fixture Anna Dello Russo. Miranda looked like she enjoyed herself at the afterparty as well, mixing around with fellow models Lily Donaldson and Cara Delevingne, whom she walked with at both the Stella McCartney show and the Chanel presentation this week.

Metro Manila (15)
(Sean Ellis, 2013, UK/Phi) Jake Macapagal, Althea Vega, John Arcilla. 115 mins
Street-level social drama slyly develops into gripping crime thriller in this resourceful Anglo-Asian movie, a distinctive spin on the familiar theme of innocent country folk in the corrupting city. The squalor of modern-day Manila is vividly evoked, as our goodly, hard-up couple struggle to gain a foothold, but the opportunities they get only lead them into the moral shadows.
Diana (12A)
(Oliver Hirschbiegel, 2013, UK/Fra/Bel/Swe/Moz) Naomi Watts, Naveen Andrews. 113 mins
History repeats itself as farce in this unintentionally laughable rendition of Diana's final years and her "secret" affair. It's no deeper or better informed than your average celebrity mag.

Fashion maven Carine Roitfeld leaves Vogue Paris for pastures new in this documentary. But why should we care?
Fabien Constant's fashion documentary Mademoiselle C. is a lively but exasperatingly incurious and obsequious work about Carine Roitfeld, the former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief who quit the Condé Nast empire in 2011 to start her own publication called Cr Fashion Book. The question of why we should care about Mlle Roitfeld and her new career challenges is never asked or answered, and perhaps even to raise this thought is to break the fashion-butterfly on a wheel of scepticism. Her personal life is not investigated, though at 58 she looks stylish and young without obviously being a slave to those cosmetic procedures that have claimed so many others. But what are the real tensions involved in starting your own magazine? The film hints at competitive reprisals from Condé Nast, but the threat just seems to melt away,...

In 2009, R.J. Cutler’s compelling documentary feature The September Issue allowed us unprecedented access to the sleek – and self-consciously chic – world of American Vogue under the rule of its exacting and mercurial Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour. Carine Roitfeld, Mademoiselle C, was for many years Wintour’s French opposite – until she took the scandalous decision to abandon the hallowed halls of Vogue and strike out on her own with a brand new publication. In gloriously trashy Dynasty style, attempts were made to sabotage Cr before a single issue had been printed. Mademoiselle C chronicles the magazine’s journey from concept to realisation and Carine’s own, more personal, metamorphosis.
Carine Roitfeld’s enthusiasm for the industry is infectious. It bursts from the screen in a rainbow bright prism of girlish joy, expansive gestures and exclamation, to coax a smile from even the most cynical lips. We somehow expect our fashion mavens to...

That people in the fashion world live lives far different than us is made manifestly clear in Fabien Constant’s documentary about former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfield. Similar to The September Issue except for its relative lack of drama and the fact that Roitield is a far more congenial camera subject than the icy Anna Wintour, Mademoiselle C should please fashion devotees while leaving everyone else scratching their heads. The film chronicles Roitfield’s efforts to start her own New York-based magazine, Cr Fashion Book, when she decided to leave Vogue after a ten-year run as its Paris editor. But

Mademoiselle C paints the story of how a warm, well-dressed and hardworking stylist leaves behind a big job and bigger magazine to start her very own publication in New York, Cr Fashion Book.

"Must like fashion," or at least, "must like music videos about fashion" could be the tagline to Mademoiselle C, a documentary about the life and times of the former French Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld. The model-turned-stylist-turned-editrix-turned-visionary abruptly left the magazine at the end of 2011 after 10 years. Although such a sudden departure could be career suicide, Roitfeld was rumored to be a replacement for Anna Wintour and her decades-long reign at American Vogue. Mademoiselle C explains what Roitfeld has been up to ever since her Vogue exit—mostly doting on her first grandchild, hosting a lavish benefit, and putting out her own magazine, Cr. It's hard not to compare Mademoiselle C to R.J. Culter's 2009 docu...

Carine Roitfeld, super stylist, former editor of French Vogue and now a global director of Harper's Bazaar, has spent decades reinventing the way we wear clothes. Now the subject of a documentary, she talks to Eva Wiseman about becoming a grandmother, fashion politics and why she's sharing her trade secrets
Carine Roitfeld smells of matches and burned vanilla, like the end of a birthday party. She orders a coffee in the elegant café next door to her Paris apartment, and when I tell her how good she smells she leans forward and says: "That is the most wonderful thing I could hear today." She is working on her own perfume, she explains. This is a test scent – "Still too sweet, no?" – and as we talk it fades into the café air, sugaring the things she says.

Celebrating a big player in the world of fashion, Miranda Kerr attended the premiere of "Mademoiselle C" in New York City on Friday (September 6).
The Ausssie beauty suffered a couple of awkward nip slips as she adjusted her long, black lacy gown on the red carpet for the documentary exploring former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief, Carine Roitfeld.
However, the 30-year-old model is far from shy about revealing the body that she's built a career on, as she poses nude in a new issue of Interview magazine.
In the steamy shoot, Miranda wears a fur pelt over one shoulder and a pearl g-string, revealing a full breast and just barely hiding her crotch.

Mademoiselle C director Fabien Constant as Buster Keaton in The General Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze Fabien Constant's meticulously dashing portrait of Carine Roitfeld in Mademoiselle C works as a triple treat with style, beauty and grace. We witness the launch of Cr Fashion Book, the new magazine by the former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, and watch how dreams are made. We see Kirsten Dunst and Harvey Weinstein applauding in the audience, at Carine Roitfeld's Cannes amfAR gala fashion show, before the documentary whisks you away to a photo shoot with Karl Lagerfeld.
For Cr's inaugural issue 0, classic models transform into French movie stars of the Sixties in front of Lagerfeld's lens: Stephanie Seymour becomes Nathalie Delon, Linda Evangelista becomes Anna Karina, and Carolyn Murphy turns into Mireille Darc.
Right before New York Fashion Week, Fabien Constant gave us some insight and took a turn as Buster Keaton for my camera.
