2 Deauville is a precious moment, a place where cinema lovers and wounded children of the divine Eros are welcome. It is likewise a rare moment, since all the presented films are by nature unique, the very flesh and manna from an orchard where directors come to play and rule without restraint. These electric shadows sketch us out as spectators, begging for any form of beauty, gentleness or dilection. These works adumbrate how the world is shaped, and how man is searching for some imaginary omphalos, preferring the awakened paths of stoic apatheia to the abysmal and darkening ways of vain extremes. The festival s ambition is to serve its calling: to be the greatest meeting place in Europe for everything that makes American cinema what it is, through the various sections of this edition, i.e. the Competition that reveals, Premières that confirm, Tributes that celebrate, Uncle Sam documentaries that teach, American nights that keep us wakeful, and Deauville Season 2 that sets the place on fire. We too are therefore moving, fully alive, not fixing anything, on the look-out for cinematographic trends with serving others as sole aim. Art is the psalmody of fairies that keeps us awake, a hidden rhyme in the clash of busy heavens. A mote in one s blinking eye is a prologue to scintillating trivia, with no beam in the offing Here is the unveiled hope of promised talent. Truth is the hopefulness that suffices. 2

29 THE PREMIERES THE OPENING FILM THE HELP (La Couleur des sentiments) by Tate Taylor starring Viola Davis, Emma Stone, Octavia Spencer, Jessica Chastain, Bryce Dallas Howard, Mary Steenburgen, Mike Vogel Contact : French publicity BCG : bcgpresse@wanadoo.fr Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, THE HELP stars Emma Stone (EASY A) as Skeeter, Academy Award - nominated Viola Davis (DOUBT) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minnie - three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, THE HELP is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.

Under the auspices of a psychology professor at Columbia University, the chimp would be taught the sign language of the deaf and it was hoped he would soon acquire enough words and grammar to tell us what he was thinking and feeling.

36 In collaboration with La Cinémathèque française THE TRIBUTES BLAKE EDWARDS Director & screenwriter ( ) Born on July 26, 1922 in Tulsa, Oklahoma (USA), Blake Edwards started out as an actor when he was twenty-three. He worked as a radio scriptwriter and then as a television director, meeting musician Henry Mancini, who was to compose the theme to THE PINK PANTHER years later. Brought up in Hollywood, Blake Edwards naturally took up a career in the movie industry, directing his first feature film BRING YOUR SMILE ALONG in I was raised in a family working in cinema, he explained in My father was a film production manager and a first assistant director. And my grandfather was probably the greatest director of his time. Obviously I took an interest in that. Blake Edwards grandfather was J. Gordon Edwards, director of silent films in the 1920s. His next two films, MISTER CORY (1957) and OPERATION PETTICOAT (1959) reached out to a wide audience. His success was confirmed with BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY S starring Audrey Hepburn (1961) and DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES (1962) starring Jack Lemmon. His collaboration with Peter Sellers, the unforgettable Inspector Clouseau in THE PINK PANTHER (1963), brought him international recognition. From 1963 to 1978, Blake Edwards wrote and directed seven feature films with the lumbering French detective. The duo also came out with the crazy film THE PARTY (1968), in which Peter Sellers plays an Indian actor who collects blunders during a party in Hollywood. After Peter Sellers died, Blake Edwards added a new episode to the series, TRAIL OF THE PINK PANTHER (1982), by using footage from before the actor s demise. He experienced a few ups and downs in his career. For instance, his musical DARLING LILI (1970) flopped and his film 10 (1979), with statuesque Bo Derek) unleashed the critics sarcastic comments. In 1982, Blake Edwards enjoyed success anew with VICTOR VICTORIA, a libertine feature film about a female singer who dresses up as a man who himself tries to pass off as a woman. He was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Script category and was awarded a César for Best Foreign Film. In the film the director stages the English star of MARY POPPINS (1964), Julie Andrews, who had been his wife since He would say that he had met her in wonderfully Hollywood-style circumstances, i.e. when he was going to see his shrink as she herself was leaving the analyst s office. In 2004, Blake Edwards received an Oscar crowning his career as a whole. During the ceremony, as a delirious director, he acted as an old dotard and went through the stage in some electric wheelchair, which ended up crashing into a cardboard setting. Blake Edwards passed away on December 15, 2010 in Santa Monica (California).

38 FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA GUEST OF HONOUR Director, producer & screenwriter Born in 1939 in Detroit (USA), Francis Ford Coppola is descended from Southern Italians who immigrated to New York in the early 20 th century. At the age of nine, he started making 8mm movies. After graduating in 1959 with a B.A. in Theatre Arts, he enrolled at UCLA for graduate work in film. Coppola s unerring instinct for career-building led to an apprenticeship at Roger Corman s New World Pictures. After varied stints on low-budget genre pictures, Corman allowed him to direct a film from his own screenplay, DEMENTIA 13. His adaptations of REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE, THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED, and IS PARIS BURNING? were produced, making him a much-in-demand screenwriter. His second film, YOU RE A BIG BOY NOW (1966), served as his MFA thesis and marked his first appearance at the Festival de Cannes, where he would later enjoy acclaim, twice winning the Palme d Or (THE CONVERSATION, 1974; APOCALYPSE NOW, 1979). He directed Fred Astaire and Petula Clark in FINIAN S RAINBOW (1968), adapted from the Broadway musical, followed by an original work, THE RAIN PEOPLE (1969). As the 1960s wound down, Coppola made two momentous decisions. He relocated to San Francisco, where he founded with George Lucas an independent production company, American Zoetrope. Lucas s first two features, THX 1138 (1971) and AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1973) were produced under its aegis. But the company was high maintenance, and in 1970 Coppola was persuaded to direct a gangster picture based upon a best-selling novel by Mario Puzo, THE GODFATHER. The film created a sensation upon its release in 1972, altering the course of his career. Its equally successful follow-up, THE GODFATHER, PART II (1974), is credited with starting an industry-wide trend by making sequels respectable and immensely profitable. THE GODFATHER, PART III (1990), made almost twenty years later, continued the tradition. In 1976, Coppola began APOCALYPSE NOW, financing the Vietnam War epic himself. Shooting stopped, then re-started, and the budget skyrocketed, delaying the film s release until APOCALYPSE NOW has come to occupy a very special place in the annals of American moviemaking, influencing two generations of directors across the globe. The 1980s brought about a radical change in Coppola s career parabola. Desiring more independence as well as an electronically modern filmmaking facility, he bought Hollywood General Studios and renamed it Zoetrope Studios. Production immediately began in 1982 on HAMMETT, directed by Wim Wenders, and soon thereafter on ONE FROM THE HEART (1982), an innovative musical. Coppola then made two youth pictures in 1983, THE OUTSIDERS and RUMBLE FISH. The second half of the 1980s constituted a period of evaluation and regeneration with such films as THE COTTON CLUB (1984), PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED (1986), GARDENS OF STONE (1987), TUCKER: THE MAN AND HIS DREAM (1988) and the segment LIFE WITHOUT ZOE from the feature film NEW YORK STORIES (1989). In 1990, THE GODFATHER, PART III garnered seven Oscar nominations, including one for Coppola as Best Director. One year later, BRAM STOKER S DRACULA starring Keanu Reeves and Gary Oldman snared four Oscar nominations and won three Oscars. In 1996, he worked with Robin Williams and directed JACK and the following year shot THE RAINMAKER with Matt Damon, an adaptation of John Grisham s bestselling novel. In 2007, Coppola directed YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH starring Tim Roth. TETRO, starring Vincent Gallo, opened the Directors Fortnight at the 2009 Festival de Cannes. His latest film, TWIXT, is currently in post-production. 38

50 CARTE BLANCHE For the first time, the Festival will give a Carte blanche to a renowned figure of the artistic and literary world who will reveal and share, through a personal selection, his or her favourite films, his or her own private America. The Festival is pleased to give the first Carte blanche to French designer: JEAN-CHARLES DE CASTELBAJAC Etienne Clément For a very long time, American cinema has been one of the cornerstones of my imagination. Conquest, desire, power, mystery and fear, immoderate emotion is what connects me to it. Masterpieces result from bravery and difference, they convey the same experimental and ground-breaking dimension. American cinema is immortal, just like the ghosts it projects into the future. Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is a legendary French designer, as much for his designs as for his polymorphic pieces. Within a sparkling, colorful and playful world, he is a sprawling artist that revolutionized fashion and art planet, by his hijacking, his appropriation and approach of an innovative dimension of pop / rock culture. Hijacked materials pieces of clothing, famous down-filled or postcard jackets, ponchos for two, slipping by canvas and graffiti dresses to cartoon pull-over, each designed piece are bringing a unique and evident universe. 50

51 As a multi-purpose artist with fashion as a favorite medium, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac was early recognized by the press with his first cover of ELLE magazine and highlights of WWD which named his talent as a Courrege of the 70 s. One decade later, symbolic collaborations with Loulou Picasso, Ben, Gérard Garouste, Hervé Di Rosa as well as conclusive encounters with Keith Haring or Jean-Michel Basquiat gave him a consensual dimension. Since 1997, when Pope Jean-Paul II told him that he used colors as cement of faith, following liturgical clothes and outfits designs for a million of youths during World Youth Day, world famous music artists have then followed him: Madonna, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Beth Dito, Katy Perry He has also been consecrated designer of the young generation by Hip Hop culture when renamed JC/DC. During the 2000 s success came knocking at each collection and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac launched his genius idea, inventing concept of Lowcost Luxury, great design for reasonable price, targeting a massive and aware crowd. The result was a second line known as JC/DC by JC de Castelbajac under his war name. CARTE BLANCHE TO JEAN-CHARLES DE CASTELBAJAC - HIS CHOICE 1944 ARSENIC ET VIEILLES DENTELLES (Arsenic and Old Lace) by Frank Capra With Cary Grant, Peter Lorre, Priscilla Lane Two sweet old ladies murder nice elderly men.

52 NEW HOLLYWOOD This 37th edition wishes to honour the future by inviting an actress and an actor among the finest in tomorrow s American cinema. New Hollywood is a prize that salutes the talent, passion and commitment of actors and actresses on the path of creation. Showing appreciation for these emerging talents, the faces of tomorrow s cinema, is in line with the Festival s ambition. The first NEW HOLLYWOOD prizes will be awarded to: JESSICA CHASTAIN RYAN GOSLING THE TREE OF LIFE CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE. 52

53 JESSICA CHASTAIN TAKE SHELTER Jessica Chastain was born under a lucky star from the galaxy of cinema. From her first film JOLENE, by Dan Ireland, her performance was praised by the critics and she received the Seattle Film Festival Award for Best Actress. Her work since then has attested how sensitive and photogenic an actress she is. John Madden entrusted her with the difficult task of sharing a character with Dame Helen Mirren. Her subtle performances and unique presence allow her to play in both independent productions and Hollywood films. The last Cannes Film Festival has established her international aura by awarding the 2011 Palme d Or to THE TREE OF LIFE by Terrence Malick, a director known for his extremely demanding ways and legendary castings, and who confirms, by choosing Jessica Chastain for the film, that she is indeed the rising star of Hollywood.

54 RYAN GOSLING DRIVE This young Canadian-born actor follows the tradition of Hollywood legendary actors. He exudes an air of nonchalant elegance.

Ryan Fleck offered him his first nomination for the Best Actor Academy Award with HALF NELSON (Jury Prize and Cartier Revelation Award in Deauville in 2006), unanimously praised in Hollywood.

60 FRANCO-AMERICAN MEETING: PARTNERS IN CRIME For almost two decades, television series have entered a new dimension and the artistic ambition of their creators has been constantly pushing its limits. Writing in question promotes dialogue between French and American screenwriters about television series writing. For this second edition, the meeting will focus on the writing of crime fiction, and on how screenwriters both sides of the Atlantic have managed to reinvent this legendary genre. Also to be addressed is the question of the new outline of this successful genre, between creation and adaptation, tribute and pastiche.

The author will be in Deauville to receive his prize. MICHAEL COLLINS MIDNIGHT IN A PERFECT LIFE (MINUIT DANS UNE VIE PARFAITE) Editions Christian Bourgois A writer's journey towards fatherhood throws up shadows from his past. Karl is a troubled writer standing on the precipice of forty. After a degree of success in his early career he is now battling with what he terms his opus, his legacy to the world. But his partner Lori, the main breadwinner, is also thinking about her destiny and wants a child. As they embark on fertility treatment, Karl is forced to confront his deepest fear - that he will turn out to be like his father, a travelling salesman who was found dead after apparently committing murder when Karl was just thirteen. Unbeknown to Lori, Karl has already taken loans out against their house to pay for his mother's care home, and his freelance work, ghosting for a crime writer called Perry Fennimore, has dried up. As the fertility treatment progresses, Karl feels increasingly distanced from his relationship and the safety of home, and attracted to the shadowlands of Chicago's backstreets. When Fennimore reemerges with a proposal, Karl begins to tap this new source of creativity - but just how far will he go in his pursuit of the ultimate story? From the Booker-shortlisted author of THE KEEPERS OF TRUTH. MICHAEL COLLINS Michael Collins was born in 1964 in Limerick, Ireland. He is the author of six novels, and two collections of short stories. His work has garnered numerous awards, including a Pushcart Award for Best American Short Stories, the Kerry Ingredients Irish Novel of the Year, along with being shortlisted for The Booker Prize and the Impac Prize. Michael Collins is also an extreme athlete, has won the Last Marathon in the Antarctic and set a record time in winning both the Himalayan 100 Mile Stage Race and the Everest Challenge Marathon. He is currently training for the North Pole Marathon. 68
