Since its 1995 release, writer-director Gregg Araki’s gonzo Nc-17 crime movie “The Doom Generation” — about a trio of teens on a bloody road trip — has achieved cult classic status and paved a way for provocative and confrontational YA content like “Euphoria.” But after its Sundance Film Festival debut, almost no one saw the film Araki made.
“It’s shocking to me that the movie has survived all this time as a cult film with a devoted audience,” Araki told IndieWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit podcast. “The [VHS and DVD] version that exists was never properly letterboxed, there’s a lot of stuff I didn’t like in terms of the color and sound, and the original master is not up to technical standards for streaming or Blu-ray.”
That’s all about to change with the release of a newly restored and remastered “Doom Generation” supervised by Araki that is set to begin rolling out...

Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.

If you were a director or producer coming up in the New York independent film scene of the early 1990s, you wanted to work with Thérèse DePrez. Right out of the gate as a production designer, DePrez, who had been diagnosed with cancer and passed away Tuesday in New York City, defined for herself an imaginative, boldly-colored and stylized approach that brought a high level of ambition and finesse to often meagerly-budgeted films. Not settling for generic indie naturalism — the gentle accenting of our everyday world that is the default approach on so many low-budget pictures — she cited […]...

The following profile of production designer Thérèse DePrez was written by producer Ted Hope for Filmmaker‘s Spring, 1994 issue, and is being rerun on the sad occasion of DePrez’s passing this week in New York. After the standard art school stint, and the pay-your dues Pa/grip/electric rigmarole, Thérèse DePrez nabbed her first designer gig on Tony Jacobs’s low-budget consumer/horror send-up, The Refrigerator, which sent her further down the blood-spewed path to art direct three straight-to-video horror pics. The creepy crawlers allowed DePrez to hone the “specialty prop” and set design skills she would later call on for Tom Kalin’s Swoon, […]...

Thérèse DePrez, the Black Swan production designer whose credits include such films as I Shot Andy Warhol, Park Chan-wook’s Stoker and Premium Rush, died Tuesday at her home in New York following a battle with breast cancer. She was 52. “There are not many people who have inspired me in so many ways than Thérèse DePrez,” said Amazon’s Ted Hope in a tweet this morning. “How she lived, how she worked, what she made, what she loved.” Her death was announced on a Facebook…...

Thérèse DePrez, the well-regarded production designer on such films as Black Swan, Summer of Sam and High Fidelity, has died. She was 52.
DePrez died Tuesday at her home in New York City, Black Swan graphic designer Derrick Kardos, a friend and frequent collaborator, told The Hollywood Reporter. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2015, and he set up a GoFundMe page to assist her with expenses.
"I told her to keep her expectations low. I said we'll get $5,000 or $10,000 if we're lucky," Kardos said. "Well, we raised almost $80,000 from hundreds of people....

Tom Dicillo's satire about the pitfalls of low budget filmmaking is less farce than it is a loving valentine to the difficult task of getting something relevant on film. Steve Buscemi is the frustrated director, Catherine Keener the insecure actress, and Peter Dinklage the little person not pleased that he's been hired to play a phantom in a dream sequence. Hilariously clever, the show also has a big heart. Living in Oblivion Blu-ray + DVD Shout! Factory 1995 / Color & B&W / 1:85 widescreen / 92 min. / Street Date November 17, 2015 / $29.99 Starring Steve Buscemi, Catherine Keener, Dermot Mulroney, Danielle von Zerneck, James LeGros, Rica Martens.

India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) was not prepared to lose her father and best friend Richard (Dermot Mulroney) in a tragic auto accident. The solitude of her woodsy family estate, the peace of her tranquil town, and the unspoken somberness of her home life are suddenly upended by not only this mysterious accident, but by the sudden arrival of her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), whom she never knew existed. When Charlie moves in with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evie (Nicole Kidman), India thinks the void left by her father’s death is finally being filled by his closet bloodline. Soon after his arrival, India comes to suspect that this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives. Yet instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless young woman becomes increasingly infatuated with him.
Stoker stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice In Wonderland, Jane Eyre), Matthew Goode (Watchmen, A Single Man), Dermot Mulroney (The Grey,...

With "Stoker," acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-Wook ("Oldboy") riffs on Alfred Hitchcock in his own artsy and oppressive way. It's a chilly reworking of "Shadow of a Doubt" (with nods to "Psycho" and "The Birds" along the way), that eventually takes a turn into Brian De Palma territory. Only here Matthew Goode's mysterious Uncle Charlie creeps up on his passive niece, India (Mia Wasikowska), out of nowhere before they realize how much they're kindred spirits in this bizarre coming of age story that co-stars Nicole Kidman as India's frigid mother. As production designer Thérèse DePrez ("Black Swan") points out in the exclusive featurette below, "Stoker" is hyper-stylized even beyond what we expect from Chan-Wook. It mostly takes place in an austere yet timeless-looking 1920s mansion. With its diorama concept and icy green shadings, the house is as much a trap as the gothic Bates house.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released its annual list of invited new members, and it’s clear they’re continuing to try to make their membership younger. On the list alongside veterans like John Hawkes and David Duchovny are a slew of twentysomethings, including Mia Wasikowska, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Mila Kunis, Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lawrence, and Rooney Mara. The Board of Governors also decided to extend an invitation to Restrepo codirector Tim Hetherington, the first time Academy membership has been bestowed posthumously. As a side note, it’s also a hoot to now say the phrase Oscar voter Russell Brand.

The Film:
A multi-layered retelling of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan is the type of film Dario Argento use to make during his supernatural cycle. A common reference is to his Suspiria, but I see traces in Argento’s last great film, The Stendhal Syndrome here and there. But mostly these references are in style and tone, as Aronofsky is given material and a script than Argento has never got. Black Swan is a resounding piece of film, tickling the fine line of arthouse and B-movie intentions. It’s an odd line to walk, especially for Aronofsky who is defined by his themes, instead of genre efforts, but Black Swan is perhaps the best widely received “horror” film since Silence of the Lambs.
The fun trick of the film is given to the audience early on. “We all know the story. Virginal girl, pure and sweet,...

The 2011 Orange British Academy Film Awards were handed out today and to very little surprise The King's Speech led the way with seven BAFTA Awards as it was also the most nominated film among all nominees with 14 total nominations.
Among its achievements it took home Best Picture, Outstanding British Film, Best Actor for Colin Firth, Best Original screenplay for David Seidler and Best Score for Alexandre Desplat. Where the surprises came were in the supporting wins for both Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter showing The Fighter apparently doesn't pack as much of a punch across the pond as it does here.
Also, for those of you trying to predict the Oscars and are wondering which direction to go with Best Director, David Fincher took home the award for The Social Network, one of three wins on the night for the film. Aaron Sorkin also won for Adapted Screenplay and Film Editing.

Black Swan costume designer, Amy Westcott, BAFTA and Cdg nominated for her work on the film, puts the record straight on controversy surrounding herself and Rodarte’s contribution, exactly what her role comprises, and how she feels about that Academy Award snub.
Amy Westcott worked with Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky previously on The Wrestler in 2008, plus has been costume designer on over twenty features and seventy episodes of TV series Entourage. Here she talks exclusively to Clothes on Film:
Clothes on Film, Chris: Are you aware of the controversy surrounding yourself and fashion house Rodarte (the Mulleavy sisters) in the press; that they should be credited alongside you as costume designers?
Amy Westcott: Controversy is too complimentary a word for two people using their considerable self-publicising resources to loudly complain about their credit once they realised how good the film is.
CoF: Do you feel as though you...

Chicago – There are few character actors in the history of cinema more mesmerizing and fearless than Philip Seymour Hoffman. He’s created some of the most memorable characters ever to grace the screen: from the sexually arrested Allen in “Happiness” and the obsessed playwright Caden Cotard in “Synecdoche, New York” to the electrifying title role in “Capote.”
His brilliant acting career obviously caused the excitement surrounding his feature filmmaking debut to be more than mildly palpable. Yet “Jack Goes Boating” is an unexpectedly benign morsel, with bittersweet tones reminiscent of Jeff Garlin’s equally “Marty”-like, “I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With.” Hoffman’s sweet, shy, schlubby-looking protagonist sports a nearly childlike naïveté that’s as lovable as it is disconcerting.
DVD Rating: 3.0/5.0
Based on Bob Glaudini’s play of the same name, the film centers on the hesitant romance that begins to blossom between two lost souls in New York City.

Two things the British apparently love: stammering English monarchs and crazy-eyed New York ballerinas.
Tom Hooper's historical drama "The King's Speech," starring Colin Firth as speech-impeded King George VI, and Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan," featuring a crazy-eyed Natalie Portman as a dancer on the verge of a "Swan Lake"-induced breakdown, topped the Orange British Academy Film Awards nominations, which the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) announced today. "The King's Speech" led the way with 14 nominations, "Black Swan" scored 12, "Inception" snagged nine, and "True Grit" and "127 Hours" nabbed eight apiece. Golden Globes Best Picture winner and Oscar front runner "The Social Network" earned a more modest six nominations.
The Best Picture field looks a whole lot like the one that competed for Golden Globes Best Picture - Drama: "Black Swan," "Inception," "The King's Speech," "The Social Network" and "True Grit." The sole difference is that...

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) have announced their nominations for the 2011 BAFTA Awards (the British equivalent of the Oscars). There’s no real big surprises on the list. The Social Network has been dominating awards circles in North America but The King’s Speech is leading the BAFTAs with 14 nominations, including Best Picture and Outstanding British Film. Black Swan (voted best film here at Sound On Sight) has 12 nominations, True Grit 8 nominations, and Inception 9 nominations. Personally I think the most interesting category is the “Outstanding Debut By a British writer, director, or producer”, which includes the likes of Gareth Edwards (Monsters), Chris Morris (Four Lions), and Banksy (Exit Through the Gift Shop). I can’t wait to see who wins, and I’d be happy with either of these three talented filmmakers.
Hit the jump for a full list of the nominations. Winners will be announced on February 13th.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced its full list of nominees for its annual awards -- think the British Oscars. "The King's Speech" leads the way with 14 nominations, followed by "Black Swan" with 12, "Inception" with nine and "True Grit" with eight nominations, which is eight more than it received from the Golden Globes.
Interestingly, Barbara Hershey got the Best Supporting Actress nom from "Black Swan" and not Mila Kunis, who was the nominee in that category for both the Critics Choice and Golden Globes. Also absent from the nomination list is Melissa Leo, who has won Best Supporting Actress from both the Critics Choice and the Golden Globe for "The Fighter." Her co-star Amy Adams is nominated.

London -- Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech" is in pole position to be crowned the big winner at this year's Orange British Academy Film Awards, presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.There is nothing stuttering in the nomination race for the Colin Firth starrer about King George VI with the movie securing 14 slots on the potential kudos count sheet.Hooper secures a best director nomination and the picture a best film tilt. Speech will compete with the David Fincher-directed Facebook drama "The Social Network," balletic thriller "Black Swan," from Darren Aronofsky, Christopher Nolan's sci-fi epic "Inception" and the Coen brothers' western remake "True Grit" for the best film nod.In the best director category, Danny Boyle could secure his second BAFTA director nod after Slumdog for his efforts with his adventurous biopic dramatization "127 Hours" if he fends off challenges from Hooper, Aronofsky, Nolan and Fincher.

Tonight the 2011 Orange British Academy Film Award nominees were announced and to no surprise The King's Speech led the way with 14 nominations in all the expected categories including Best Film alongside fellow nominees Black Swan, Inception, The Social Network and True Grit.
Oscar front-runner The Social Network scored six nominations, but was still behind Black Swan with 12 noms, Christopher Nolan's Inception with nine, the Coen brothers' True Grit scored eight and Danny Boyle's 127 Hours received seven nominations.
Looking over the list really quickly I notice that not only was The Social Network not among the leading nominees it was also snubbed for Best Original Music, Cinematography and Sound. Elsewhere, Winter's Bone star Jennifer Lawrence wasn't nominated for Lead Actress as Noomi Rapace (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) was nominated instead. Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole) wasn't nominated either, but neither was Sally Hawkins for Made in Dagenham.
