Ons boek Live to Tell ligt in de winkels! We hebben er anderhalf jaar keihard aan gewerkt, de reacties zijn ontroerend en hartverwarmend. Het verhaal van hiv en aids in Nederland mag niet worden vergeten. (Ook een fijn cadeau voor Sint of Kerst trouwens!) ❤️🙏

Henry Thomas’ audition for Elliott in E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982) remains one of the greatest auditions ever captured on film.

At the end, Steven Spielberg simply says, “Okay, kid, you got the job.” 🎬

Kevin Kline in A FISH CALLED WANDA (1988) looks like he’s having the time of his life. Every ridiculous outburst with the energy of an actor who knows he’s got a great character and is squeezing every drop out of it.

Interesting: Park Chan-wook says the group would meet after every 3 or 4 movies to discuss them together, rather than waiting til the very end. And the final decision didn’t take very long, he says. “Fortunately, our opinions generally aligned.”

[Kyle Buchanan @kylebuchanan]

Cannes competition gets a shot of adrenaline from THE BLACK BALL, a sweeping, exciting gay triptych from Los Javis. Love! War! Cameos from Penelope Cruz and Glenn Close! This is a surefire, across-the-board Oscar contender so I’d expect a major pickup soon.
