Genesius Pictures (Good Luck To You Leo Grande, The Radleys) and Messy Hands Productions has debuted the trailer for the documentary ‘Disorder.’
The doc, previously announced by the production company as ‘The Rower’, has evolved as a raw portrayal of the impact of war on veterans as they put down their weapons, step away from danger and are thrust back into society with Ptsd.
We witness Ryan, Amber and Stuart trying to cope as civilians outside a war zone, having suffered trauma on many levels whilst protecting our freedom.
Blewett’s film is a raw portrayal of their daily existence: the challenges they face as they attempt to “normalise” their mental health. They try, but are sometimes unable, to reintegrate into society as an individual and as a collective, often living as hermits, behind closed doors. Featuring moving contributions from war journalist and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sebastian Junger and writer, photojournalist and filmmaker,...

Music Box is unveiling the trailer for “Revoir Paris,” a French drama boasting a Cesar-winning performance by Virginie Efira. The movie, which bowed at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight and played at Toronto, will have its New York premiere on June 23 at Film at Lincoln Center and IFC Film Center.
A meditation on healing, the film tells the story of Mia (Efira), a married translator who survived a mass shooting in a Paris restaurant, and feels haunted by the trauma, yet unable to recollect memories of the tragic attack.

‘Paris Memories’ is about the resilience of the survivors of a terrorist attack.
Alice Winocour’s Directors’ Fortnight title Paris Memories is an intensely personal film. Virginie Efira stars as a woman who survives a terrorist attack in a bistro. Three months later she begins to investigate her memories in an effort to move forwards from the trauma of that night.
The French filmmaker’s brother was in the Bataclan concert venue when it was attacked by terrorists on November 13, 2015. He survived the attack, having had to tell Winocour not to message him while he was hidden as it could put him in greater danger.

French writer/director Alice Winocour was interested in the connection between the body and the mind before it was cool. Her feature debut “Augustine” (2012) told the story of a supposedly “hysterical” woman and her doctor in 19th century France, while “Disorder” (2015) centered on a soldier-turned bodyguard suffering from Ptsd. “Proxima” (2019) followed a female astronaut preparing her body for the demands of life aboard the International Space Station, and her mind for the separation from her daughter that the trip necessitates.

Having isolated a film enthusiast on a North Sea lighthouse island in 2021, this year’s Göteborg Film Festival, Scandinavia’s biggest movie-tv event, looks set to stage another bold metaphor for film consumption, subjecting audiences at three different movie screenings to mass hypnosis.

Untitled Alice Winocour Project
During various stages of press for the release of her latest film Proxima in 2020, France’s Alice Winocour dropped hints of a new project to be shoot in Paris with an American actress in either September or October of 2020 which had been delayed due to the pandemic. No details were released before or after these revelations, but seeing as her first three features were produced through Dharamsala one could assume Winocour already has the coin lined up. After a trio of short films, Winocour’s 2012 debut Augustine premiered in Critics’ Week at Cannes. 2015 was a major year for the director, as her sophomore film Disorder premiered in Un Certain Regard at Cannes and she wrote Mustang, the debut of Deniz Gamze Erguven, which premiered at the same festival in Directors’ Fortnight and went on to snag an Oscar nod for Best Foreign Language Film.…

We here at HeyUGuys towers have long been admirers of the work of French writer/director Alice Winocour. Following on now from Mustang and Disorder she returns in a new genre, this time tackling science-fiction in the brilliant Proxima – and we had the pleasure of speaking to her about this new release.
We discuss with the filmmaker where this idea originally spawned from, and she talks about the research she did into the world of space exploration. She talks too about the central character and what attracted her to internalised protagonists, in this instance brought to life wonderfully by Eva Green. She also speaks about the film’s core theme, that of the mother-daughter relationship, and why she felt it important to explore this in film, and how she drew from her own personal experiences when crafting this screenplay.

After her impressive last drama Disorder, we’ve been anticipating Alice Winocour’s follow-up for some time and it finally arrived on the fall festival circuit last year. Proxima, a drama which finds Eva Green playing an astronaut preparing for space travel, will get a U.S. release by Vertical Entertainment, but they haven’t dated it yet. Other parts of the world will get it soon though, including the U.K., where it lands in May. Picturehouse has now released a new trailer and poster, including a quote from The Film Stage.
Jared Mobarak said in his Tiff review, “Writer-director Alice Winocour intentionally leaves an open-ended question hanging throughout Proxima so we can wrap our heads around the complexity of what it means to do something so profound and yet still wonder if you’re being selfish for pursuing the accomplishment.

Miley Tunnecliffe.
Originally intent on becoming an actor, Miley Tunnecliffe studied at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York followed by a masterclass at the LAByrinth Theater Company, which was co-founded by Philip Seymour Hoffman.
She took up writing to supplement her income as an actor and soon discovered writing and directing were far more satisfying.
Since those acting classes in 2008 it’s been a long and sometimes arduous journey for the filmmaker – and it’s been paying off in the last couple of years.
In 2017 her career got a boost when Screenwest chose her and Aaron Moss to participate in the Bill Warnock Initiative for emerging writers, which included being in the writers room for The Secret Daughter, mentored by Stuart Page, and Mustangs Fc under co-creator Amanda Higgs.

Julie Delpy Made a Genetic Thriller and Riz Ahmed Is a Heavy Metal Drummer: Tiff Platform Highlights
The fall movie season may be associated with awards season buzz, but for the past five years, the Toronto International Film Festival’s Platform section has provided a welcome alternative. The juried program is a tightly curated selection of international films, with a blend of debuts and established filmmakers moving in new directions. In a typically sprawling Tiff lineup, it’s the clearest path to discovery.
It’s also the place where buyers will want to spend a lot of time this year. All 10 films in this year’s Platform section are entering the festival without North American distribution. “I think these are all juicy for buyers,” Tiff co-head Cameron Bailey said.
But don’t expect a lot of obvious commercial material. Instead, this year’s Platform could be a referendum on just how much buyers are willing to jump on unexpected crowdpleasers, riskier options, and foreign-language offerings.

Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Huang Weikai's Disorder (2009) is showing September 13 – October 13, 2018 in the United States as part of the series Chinese Independents.A fire hydrant rains down upon the nighttime bustle of a crowded street; a man lies sprawled on the pavement, either reeling from a car accident or just faking an injury; a chest freezer is opened to reveal a pile of (presumably) illegally peddled bear claws; a man fishes a cockroach out of a bowl of noodles. These are some of the first images of Disorder (2009), Huang Weikai’s absurdist, not-quite-found footage documentary about—as much as any single film could claim to be—the rapid urbanization of China as seen through the city of Guangzhou. The title is no coy attempt at misdirection: Disorder’s dominant progression is that of constant, chaotic bombardment, with scenes—abrasive, shocking and downright stomach-churning...

Now that Ryan Gosling has moved on from projects like “Only God Forgives” and “The Place Beyond the Pines,” Matthias Schoenaerts has emerged as the cinematic ideal of fractured masculinity. Physically imposing but emotionally scarred, his characters — whether in “Bullhead,” “Rust and Bone,” or “Disorder” — bring depth and dimension to the strong, silent type. He continues that streak in David Oelhoffen’s “Close Enemies,” which calls on the actor to once again portray a hardened criminal at his most vulnerable — and not much else that you haven’t already seen him do.
This is one of those crime dramas you know won’t end well, especially after the early reveal that Manu’s (Schoenaerts) close friend Irmane (Adel Bencherif) is acting as an informant for narcotics officer Driss (Reda Kateb). Having grown up in the same rough-and-tumble neighborhood as the two of them, the detective’s loyalties are divided between...

The Yellow Birds director Alexandre Moors on Kevin Powers' novel adapted by David Lowery and Ronnie Porto: "The book is beautiful. A beautiful piece of English literature." Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze
The Yellow Birds, shot by Sundance award-winner Daniel Landin (Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin) and edited by Joe Klotz with a a terrific score by Adam Wiltzie, Adam Peters and Marc Ribot, stars Alden Ehrenreich and Tye Sheridan with Jack Huston, Jennifer Aniston (also an executive producer), Toni Collette, Jason Patric, Lee Tergesen, and Olivia Crocicchia.
Alexandre Moors joined me for a conversation on his second feature (after Blue Caprice with Isaiah Washington and Tequan Richmond). The first time I heard about Kevin Powers' novel The Yellow Birds was from the director of Augustine, Alice Winocour when she was in New York for her film Disorder (Maryland) during Rendez-Vous with French Cinema in 2016. Matthias Schoenaerts played Vincent, a soldier returning from.

Here were the biggest stories out of La La Land this week:
Bachelor in Paradise suspended over alleged sexual misconduct
Production on the next season of Bachelor in Paradise was brought to a halt this week, after a producer raised concerns about an alleged sexual encounter between contestant DeMario Jackson, 30, and Corinne Olympios, 25
Warner Bros. first announced news of the show’s suspension on Sunday, blaming it on an unnamed “misconduct.”
Sources later confirmed to People that the incident involved Jackson and a female cast mate — Olympios’ name not identified out of respect to the privacy of victims of alleged sexual assault.

One of our the most overlooked films last year was Alice Winocour‘s home-invasion thriller Disorder, starring Diane Kruger and Matthias Schoenaerts. As shot by Georges Lechaptois, his claustrophobic vision tracks Schoenarts’ physicality with a unnerving touch as the threat of terror creeps around every frame. We’ve known for some time a remake was in the works scripted by Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water, Sicario, Wind River), and now it’s found a director.
According to Deadline, Logan director James Mangold is now attached to helm the remake at Sony and it’s planned to be his next film. As for what differences to expect from the original, the trade reports Sheridan “changed the soldier’s affliction, added a romance, set the whole thing in Majorca and created a potential franchise character.” While that last aspect is a bit troubling, Mangold does have experience in creating worthwhile remakes after 3:10 to Yuma,...

Logan director James Mangold has signed on to direct a remake of the 2015 French action movie Disorder. Writer Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water) will adapt the screenplay for the remake.
The original film Disorder told the story of "an ex-soldier with Ptsd hired to protect the wife and child of a businessman." The film was directed by Alice Winocour and starred Matthias Schoenaerts and Diane Kruger.
There are no details as to when Mangold's Disorder is expected to hit theaters.
Mangold's last film Logan was a huge success with a worldwide box office at $612 million. He is also known for directing Walk the Line, Girl, Interrupted, 3:10 to Yuma, and The Wolverine.

James Mangold (Logan) will direct a remake of a French-Belgian movie not enough people saw in 2015, Disorder. It’s a very good and very atmospheric and sparse thriller from director Alice Winocour. Last year, screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water) was tapped to write the American remake for Sony. After the script crossed Mangold’s desk, he signed up immediately to direct the […]

Fresh off the success of Logan, James Mangold has lined up another action movie called Disorder, a remake of a French film.
James Mangold has directed his fair share of action movies, but after helming the critically acclaimed and box office winning Logan, the industry is likely taking even a greater interest in what he does next. Mangold had been formulating ideas for an X-23 movie starring Dafne Keen, but that may have to wait for at least a little while, as he has lined up a new project with Sony.
As reported by Variety, Sony has tapped Mangold to direct a remake of the French action movie, Disorder. Obviously a major get for Sony, the movie is of additional interest for action aficionados since it is written by Taylor Sheridan, who penned the Oscar nominated script for Hell Or High Water.

Logan director James Mangold has lined up his next project, and according to Deadline, it’s going to be a remake of the 2015 French action movie Disorder. The original was directed by Alice Winocour and starred Matthias Schoenaerts as a former soldier suffering from Ptsd, and it also played around with the audience’s perception a bit in order to try and replicate some of what its protagonist was going through in his mission to protect the wife and child of a mysterious businessman. Basically, it’s an action movie/thriller about a character who is going through some shit, which means it should be a good fit for Mangold after Logan.
Taylor Sheridan, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Hell Or High Water, is writing the Disorder remake.

If the highest compliment a foreign or arthouse film can receive is decent distribution in the United States, than the second highest compliment would be a remake. The latter honor will fall upon Alice Wincour‘s “Disorder” starring Matthias Schoenaerts and Diane Kruger, which premiered at Cannes in 2015 (we gave the “part home-invasion film, part bodyguard romance and part Ptsd drama” a B grade) and then quietly opened in cinemas the following year.

Diane Kruger atop the Majestic Hotel in Cannes Photo: Kering Women in Motion
She could be compared to a cross between Grace Kelly and Carole Lombard. Diane Kruger, 38, who won best actress at the 70th Cannes Film Festival, has gone from being a top model to respected actress in a relatively short time. She intersperses big budget outings such as Troy and Inglourious Basterds with European films among them Alice Winocour’s Disorder; as Marie Antoinette in Benoit Jacquot’s Farewell, My Queen and Fabienne Berthaud’s Sky, about a contemporary French woman who strikes out on her own in the American West. She was a mainstay for two seasons in the American remake of the Scandi-noir series The Bridge, transposed to the border between the Us and Mexico.

“A cinematographer is a visual psychiatrist — moving an audience through a movie […] making them think the way you want them to think, painting pictures in the dark,” said the late, great Gordon Willis. As we continue our year-end coverage, one aspect we must highlight is, indeed, cinematography, among the most vital to the medium. From talented newcomers to seasoned professionals, we’ve rounded up the examples that have most impressed us this year. Check out our rundown below and, in the comments, let us know your favorite work.
Arrival (Bradford Young)
At this point, it would be unfair to call Bradford Young an up-and-coming cinematographer. While it’s an accurate description in terms of his relative years behind the camera, the caliber of his work already feels like one of the most accomplished in the genre. Ahead of a Han Solo prequel, he got his first taste with sci-fi thanks to Denis Villeneuve‘s Arrival.

Let’s start with this bit of good news: Paul Schrader‘s Dog Eat Dog will begin its U.S. release on November 4, courtesy of Rlj Entertainment. Although our review out of Cannes was a bit lukewarm — we started with “Paul Schrader might want to consider expanding his thematic scope a little” and didn’t get much nicer from there — one must work hard to tamper my excitement for a hardcore crime tale starring Nicolas Cage and Willem Dafoe.
More good news: Christine Vachon‘s Killer Films will back Schrader’s next feature, First Reformed, which is set to star Ethan Hawke and Amanda Seyfried. Per a press release, the picture concerns “an ex-military chaplain Toller (Hawke) who is tortured by the loss of a son he encouraged to enlist in the armed forces.” After discovering the dark truth of “his church’s complicity with unscrupulous corporations,” he “embarks on...

But there are shining exceptions to the rule. Though Alice Winocour began making shorts a dozen years ago and released her first feature in 2013, the 40 year old French director really broke through with the one-two punch of Mustang (which she co-wrote) and Disorder (which she co-wrote and directed) last summer at Cannes. Mustang went on to an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film (and much love - including right here). After serving on the Cannes International Critics Week jury this summer (one year after her own breakthrough double) she's making the rounds promoting Disorder which has finally hit Us screens after its festival run.

Delivering a mesmerizingly volcanic performance, Matthias Schoenaerts is perfectly cast in Alice Winocour’s Disorder, a Ptsd drama much more interested in showing than telling. Dark, smoldering, mysterious characters are the Belgian actor’s specialty, and here he embodies yet another troubled manly-man to riveting results. He plays Vincent, a muscly war veteran who returns home to France after his military superiors deem him psychologically unfit to return to duty. He’s plagued with paranoia, has developed a violent knee-jerk response to anything he deems out of the ordinary, and seems to have an undying urge to smash things–what’s not to love?
Sarcasm aside, Schoenaerts actually does imbue what could have been an uncomfortable, frustrating character to be around with a measure of compassion and broody magnetism that makes Vincent relatable, if not quite likable. He’s a picture of pent-up aggression, but it’s clear that his...

“How are you not a big damn star?” This was the question I most itching to ask German actress Diane Kruger when we sat down to discuss her curious career and her latest lauded film, Alice Winocour’s surreal thriller “Disorder.”
A striking beauty with regal cheekbones, the tri-lingual Kruger has been awing audiences for years, thanks to turns in French prestige pictures like Benoît Jacquot’s “Farewell, My Queen” and bold American movies like Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds.” Yet somehow, Kruger’s path has not led her to A-list status. Retracing her steps from ballerina to model to internationally acclaimed thespian, we explored the whys and why bother of it all.

Tall, dark, and brooding, Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts is the man you go to when you need bruised masculinity, International Cinema Division. If you’ve seen him as the hormonally jacked cattle breeder in the Oscar-nominated Bullhead (2011), or the oddly tender underground fighter in Rust and Bone (2012), or the Brooklyn thug giving Tom Hardy mad tsuris in The Drop (2014), you know what we're talking about here. He can do sexy, menacing, sensitive and messed-in-the head simultaneously. It's just a matter of when regarding the big crossover moment, not if.
