Werner Herzog has a bit of a wild reputation. He’d like to set the record straight. “I’m the most organized, the most focused, the most friendly person you will ever see on a set,” the German director says. “Period.” Everything else, he adds, is “the craze of media who want to create a Werner Herzog that is a fiction.” This is, of course, the man who hauled a 320-ton steamship over a hill in the Peruvian jungle for Fitzcarraldo (1982), and, on the shoot of Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), also in the jungle, threatened to kill his star…
With all due respect to the performances of Matt Damon in The Odyssey and Ryan Gosling in Project Hail Mary, I came away from Wild Horse Nine, which had its North American premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on Thursday afternoon, with the strong impression that John Malkovich was now the clear frontrunner to win the best actor Oscar. But by Friday evening, when Elsinore had its world premiere in Telluride, I was forced to revise my hypothesis. That’s because the Irish actor Andrew Scott gives a performance for the ages in Elsinore as the Scottish actor Ian Charleson, who…

Reading Time: 2 minutes As we previously reported, the Lindsay Clancy murder trial ended in a mistrial today, as the jury informed the judge that they were unable to reach a verdict. The defense was given one hour to appeal to the state supreme court to have the one holdout juror removed, but that motion was denied. So now prosecutors will decide if they want to retry the case — and we likely won’t know their decision for quite some time. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is surrounded by the press as he leaves the courthouse after Judge William Sullivan sent…

Paul Schrader has spent half a century writing men who sit alone in rooms, filling notebooks with confessions no one asked for. On Friday in Venice, the 79-year-old writer-director offered a simple explanation for why he has never been able to put the subject down: he was programmed early, and the program still runs. “I was raised a Dutch Calvinist, and, you know, Freud said you’re programmed by the time you’re five or six, maybe it’s even as late as eight or nine,” Schrader said at the press conference for The Basics of Philosophy, which has its world premiere Friday…
