En attendant une ressortie en salles en 2027, les spectateurs du Festival du cinéma américain de @DeauvilleUS auront la chance de découvrir une vraie rareté, Not a pretty Picture de Martha Coolidge, présenté par @mk2

Una de las mejores películas que vi este año es Not a Pretty Picture (1976). Martha Coolidge reconstruye el abuso que sufrió en el secundario a través de un ejercicio que cruza la barrera de la ficción y la realidad e invita a debatir sobre consentimiento, duelo y vulnerabilidad.

Mark Rydell, Oscar-Nominated Director of 'On Golden Pond,' Dies at 97 https://t.co/72JFzk0SQU

[Variety @Variety]

Mark Rydell, who received a best director nomination for the Oscar-winning “On Golden Pond” and directed Bette Midler in “The Rose” and “For the Boys,” has died at 97.

Midler posted about his death on her Instagram, writing, “Mark Rydell, the director or my first film, The Rose, died this morning. He was an actor of note before he became a director, and I was so lucky to have met him when I did; he taught me so much on The Rose and later on For The Boys. Two Oscars nominations both because of him. He was the actor’s whisperer; just a few words was all it took to understand what was needed. Devoted to Meisner. So many happy memories.”

A groundbreaking work of '70s feminist cinema. Martha Coolidge's NOT A PRETTY PICTURE blends documentary and reenactment to explore the stories women carry.

Reenactment as reckoning. Martha Coolidge's NOT A PRETTY PICTURE uses drama and documentary to confront violence, desire, and the limits of memory.

Not a Pretty Picture review – Martha Coolidge’s recreation of her rape remains shockingly powerful. Fifty years after its release, Coolidge’s dramatisation of the key moments before and after her rape is still absolutely essential https://t.co/cVnIAeYkHt

Martha Coolidge drehte 1976 einen Film über ihre eigene Vergewaltigung als 16-Jährige. Eine kühne, teils schwer erträgliche Mischung aus fiktionalem Reenactment und dokumentarischer Reflexion.Leonard Krähmer über "Not a Pretty Picture", neu bei Mubi: https://t.co/081HwK4cgY
