Honestly, I was stumped by the film. That last shot and then going to black was the biggest WTF of the year!? I applaud it’s confidence in ambiguity and look forward to many more viewings where I can peel the intricate layers off one at a time.
His recent trilogy of digitally shot films starting w/ Collateral then Miami Vice and now Public Enemies is an interesting view of one director’s transformation in style. He manages to take advantage of many of the faults of the “video look” and in doing so has made himself into a better contemporary director then those of his peers who are still grapling w/ the technology.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. From beginning to end I found this film to be absolutely stunning. Completely in love w/ it.
Eli, yes, due to the huge success we were experiencing w/ this post we whipped up a nifty form tool to send your film suggestions to us. Feel free to continue to post your stills and film titles here, but then use the form to send the actual info.
Hi all, Roger from The Auteurs here. Wanted to say we really appreciate your assistance in making sure that The Auteurs film library is as accurate and as amazing as it can be. Keep ’em coming!
Hi all, please refrain from using the Submission Form link until further notice. Apparently Google Docs is currently experiencing some technical problems. Will let you know when it’s back up, hopefully by tomorrow morning. Thanks!
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe [SCEE] has announced a partnership with leading online film library MUBI, to bring to PlayStation®3 (PS3™) a new service that will break open the world of independent, international and classic cinema, and introduce PS3 owners to movies outside the mainstream. MUBI will be a free, downloadable application that gives PS3 owners the key to the ever-expanding film library of MUBI – an incredible online ‘cinemateque’ for movie lovers, packed to the rafters with acclaimed independent, foreign and classic films to stream on demand.
This autumn, PS3 users will have access to a treasure trove of celluloid curated by experts – so that even non-experts can enjoy what might otherwise take a lifetime to discover. MUBI will offer more than 300 films at launch from directors from Audiard to Zeferelli; and they’re all going to be available to stream directly to your PS3. You’ll get to discover movies you never dreamed about, watch your choice of films whenever you like, and talk about the ones you love with your friends.
So how will it all work? First, you download the free MUBI application from PlayStation®Store. Then, you open it up and start watching – it’s really that easy. Next, you look around in amazement. You find festival gems, classics, famous independent releases and art-house flicks. You discover the work of world-famous directors like the Coen Brothers and Tarantino alongside Latin American directors and restored shorts from the most obscure of archives. You’ll spot free-to-watch movies alongside pay-per-view movies that you can rent for a week – and you’ll be tempted by the thought of an all-you-can-watch monthly subscription. You find exclusive online premieres, Oscar-winners, Palme D’Or winners, collaborations with international film festivals, and so many other choices you might not know where to start. But MUBI offers a whole community of film loving fans so that help is always at hand
Joining SCEE President Andrew House in Cannes at the unveiling of the new service, MUBI founder Efe Çakarel said: “MUBI is the fastest growing online destination for lovers of independent, foreign and classic film – and it is amazing how many people that covers.
Our partnership with PlayStation® brings online cinema to TV screens in homes around the world giving PlayStation owners a whole new world of entertainment to explore. And discovery couldn’t be more fun – from finding out about the films behind the latest buzz at Cannes, to taking the film recommendation of MUBI members like Martin Scorsese.”
Andrew House welcomed MUBI to PlayStation adding: “PlayStation is about great entertainment, from games to content, delivered straight to the living room or enjoyed on the go. Today this ranges from VidZone, the free on demand service music service, through to PlayTV where you can watch, record and rewind live TV at your leisure. MUBI offers the perfect independent counterpoise to our box-office blockbuster, hi-def, video delivery service, catering for the tastes of an ever broader customer base. Add in PS3’s DVD and Blu-ray disc player and we have the perfect ticket for film lovers.”
This is cinema for cinema lovers – a movie service that takes you beyond the mainstream and deep into thousands of views of our world through different lenses – all streamed straight to your PS3 to turn your living room into your own private cinema. MUBI for PS3 will be launched this autumn initially in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Iberia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Nordic countries, Australia and New Zealand. Prepare to dim your lights and enjoy the main feature.

Sucks that ‘The September Issue,’ got snubbed. Really good, but maybe not as hefty as the ones that made the list.
