Five years since his previous Oscar-winning drama Ida, Paweł Pawlikowski now makes a stunning return with his latest romantic drama Cold War. The film initially premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Opening to high praise, it found itself at the top of many “best of Cannes” lists (including our own). Even more remarkable is Pawlikowski’s direction on the film, which garnished him the Best Director award at the festival. Courtesy of Film4, we now have the U.K. trailer for Cold War.
Set in the 1950s in Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia, and Paris, Cold War centers on Zula (played by Joanna Kulig) and Wiktor (played by Tomasz Kot), a young couple who find themselves to be “fatefully mismatched” with one another. Over the course of nearly two decades, the film explores the intricacies of their relationship – all while the political pressures of the Cold War are felt within the background.

We aren’t celebrating the union of man and wife after all, this is an excuse to go wild and revere the bride’s father as an unforgettable host. So what if those rumors are true and there’s at least one set of skeletal remains beneath our feet. We can worry about all that tomorrow.

Now that we're done salivating over the unveiling of the Gala and Special Presentation screenings for 2011 Toronto Int. Film Festival, we now put our attention on the official selection of the Venice Film Festival sidebar know as Venice Days. Director Giorgio Gosetti has mounted an edition that includes some gem auteurs and newbie filmmakers we've been keeping tabs on for the better half of 2010/2011. For the most part consists of French productions and of the "12 feature films in the Official Selection, three Special Events, one short opening film and two special collaborations," Lou Ye's Love and Bruises - a film that was a tad not ready for Cannes is indeed ready to go on the Lido.
