TV/Movies / 'everyone Loves Sex, Why Hide It?' Asks Director At Cannes by jossayo(m): 6:50am On May 22, 2015 |
Cannes - Director Gaspar Noe rejected the idea on Thursday that his ultra-graphic 3D sex film "Love" was controversial at the Cannes Film Festival, saying it was ridiculous to ignore a subject that "everyone loves". "I have friends who love money, some who love coke, some who love cinema, but the common point is that everyone loves having sex," the Paris-based director said at a press conference. "So why is it so poorly represented in cinema? It's to do with commercial and legal pressures," he added. Noe's latest film was the hot ticket on the French Riviera, with hundreds trying to squeeze their way into the midnight screening on Wednesday night. "Love" leaves nothing to the imagination as it tells the story of a young couple's tempestuous love affair, featuring over a dozen extremely graphic unsimulated sex scenes, including close-up ejaculations, swingers' clubs, a party and a transvestite prostitute. Asked why he felt the need to show such explicit scenes, the Argentine-born Noe said, "I was making a film about love, not about Swiss banks or Scientology." Lead actor Karl Gusman, a newcomer from the United States, said there were certainly doubts when he started work on the film. "On the first day of shooting, Gaspar decided to start us off with a close-up of my genitals," Gusman said. "I was in the bathroom beforehand, looking in the mirror thinking I should escape to the airport... and that this was the end of a very short career. "But pretty soon, it felt normal." Asked how his parents had reacted, Gusman said: "My mother was not a virgin when I met her. She's very proud, especially because the film is playing in such a prestigious festival." 'Like bad sex' The story follows a young American man in Paris, Murphy, looking back on his lost love, Electra (Aomi Muyock), and their time together. 3D has been used for hardcore pornography before but this is thought to be the first time it has been used for sex scenes in an arthouse film. "It's a toy I hadn't used before," said Noe, adding that he liked the irony of using 3D and English- speaking actors to give the film a Hollywood feel. Although the producers secured a deal last week to distribute "Love" in the US, Noe said he expected trouble from censors. "It's easier to show scenes of sensuality in European cinema because people are more open- minded. The Americans, when it comes to a film's distribution, can be very square," he said. Noe is no stranger to controversy. In 2002, a screening of his film "Irreversible" at Cannes led to several ambulances being called for audience members who could not cope with its in-your-face rape scene. Some of the audience gave a standing ovation at the end of the screening on Thursday morning, but many critics seemed unconvinced by Noe's "blood, sperm and tears" vision. "Like bad sex, (it) seems to go on forever with no climax or ending in sight," tweeted Sophie Kaufman, of Little White Lies movie magazine. BBC film critic Jason Solomons said it "was definitely not a porn film the dialogue's not up to that level". Variety gave a more nuanced critique, saying "you've gotta hand it to Noe for leaving no taboo unturned, and for putting so much of himself into a film that's bound to leave titillation seekers resenting its creator during the long stretches of wallowing introspection between climaxes." Cannes festival director Thierry Fremaux jumped to Noe's defence at an earlier press conference, saying "the last thing to do at Cannes is read the critics". "Gaspar Noe has made a film that some love and some hate. Literature and painting visit the question of the representation of the body, of sex, of physical love, but very few filmmakers have done so in 120 years of the history |
Politics / Ex-bayelsa Governor Sylva's Case Deferred by jossayo(m): 6:24am On May 22, 2015 |
Lagos - The case involving a former governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, has been adjourned Wednesday next week. Sylva, along with Francis Okokwo, Gbenga Balogun, and Samuel Ogbuku, allegedly used three companies, Marlin Maritime Limited, Eat Catering Services Limited, and Haloween-Blue Construction and Logistics Limited to move about N19,2 billion from Bayelsa State coffers between 2009 and 2012, under false pretence of using the withdrawn money to augment salaries of the state government workers. Since the matter began in 2013, several applications filed by the defence, have made it difficult for Sylva to be arraigned. At the last sitting last Thursday, Justice Mohammed had in his ruling dismissed an application brought before it by the third accused, Gbenga Balogun, through his counsel Israel Olorundare, praying the court to first determine the legal standing of the lead prosecution counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, to handle the matter, as well as a motion challenging the competence of the 42- count charge. At the resumed sitting this Thursday, the court was to hear all pending applications before it with regards to the matter. Notable was an application filed by counsel to Sylva, challenging the charges brought against his client by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and another application by Ogbuku, challenging the power of the EFCC to prosecute the case, claiming that only the Attorney General had the power to do so. In his argument, Jacobs told the court that, he only got the application filed last week and that he would need time to go through it for appropriate action. He argued that the application seemed like a calculated attempt to drag the matter further, since the charges which they are challenging was served them since 2013. "We served them this charges since 2013, why are they now just waking up from their slumber," Jacobs said. Justice Mohammed adjourned the case for hearing on all pending applications. source:http://www.news24.com.ng/Elections/News/Ex-Bayelsa-Governor-Sylvas-case-deferred-20150521 |
