Npgh Sundance: Gravitas Ventures acquires US on Legion Of Brothers
Dir: Andrei Konchalovsky. Russia. 2014. 101minsVeteran Russian director Konchalovsky follows a rural postman on rounds that cover a group of depopulated lakeside villages in the Arkhangelsk region of northern Russia in this graceful, Chekhovian country tale. This is not the first time the director ha <a href=https://www.cup-stanley.us>stanley usa s taken a scripted documentary approach; but The Postmans White Nights feels altogether more laid-back, stanley italy less obtrusively storyfied, than, say, his 2002 Chechen psychiatric hospital drama House Of Fools.Shot through with quiet lyricism, and scored by a mix of choral, orchestral and ambient music that weaves in and out of the crisply-rendered sounds of the natural world, Konchalovsky has gone back to the artisanal roots of cinema and drama to make a film of undeniable charm.What emerges is a tender, melancholy, occasional funny, frequently inconsequential cinematic pastoral, a gentle, meandering lament for a rural lifestyle that is on the verge of d stanley cup ying out. Genuine country postman Aleksey Lyokha Tryapitsin carries the film, his cheeky-chap persona veined by Slavic fatalism as he interacts with those on his round, handing out letters and advice, acting as a rural delivery man, pharmacist, bringer of news and child minder.Postman was picked up by Moscow-based sales company Antipode on the eve of its Venice festival competition debut. Well-received on the Lido, it could appeal to arthouse distributors in the market for feel-good world cinema fare, though it would need careful nurturin Zuai Manda Bala film-makers win Microsoft HDi Grant during Sundance

Zrdb Oscar winner Spike Lee provokes Trump, reacts to Green Book win
Dir: Ridley Scott. US. 2010. 140minsRidley Scotts origins version of the Robin Hood legend is a solid, if ultimately uninspiring, adventure ep <a href=https://www.stanleywebsite.us>stanley website ic which contains more of the flat historical storytelling of Kingdom Of Heaven than the stirring emotion of Gladiator. Nevertheless, the package is a strong one and it is set for a muscular box office run when it opens in 70+ territories this weekend after its splashy opening night gala launch at Cannes.Scotts film-making fluency is as impressive as ever and the contributions from his usual team stanley cup are predictably fine.Like Scotts other period adventures, Robin Hood will outperform domestic in international. Kingdom of Heaven grossed a whopping $164m in international to a puny $47.4m in domestic theatres, while Gladiator was a closer-run thing in 2000 $270 international, $188m domestic . The Scott/Russell Crowe team-up which started with Gladiator is no guarantee of success - both A Good Year and Body of Lies disappointed - but then this is the first Scott/Crowe action-adventure since Gladiator and the combination of star, director and genre should be enough to open big. The film is skewed older than other blockbusters in the early summer like Iron Man 2 and Prince of Persia. Certainly Crowes youthful lustre from Gladiator a decade ago has worn off and his Marion, Cate Blanchett, is hardly Miley Cyrus. A-lister Crowe is coming off a couple of under-performers Body of Lies, State of Play and could use a hit.
