Wajda takes three young entrepreneurs and follows their greed and ambition to toxic capitalism’s logical conclusion in this queasily disturbing satire
Andrzej Wajda’s queasily compelling film from 1975, adapted by him from a novel by Wladysław Reymont, is an expressionist comic opera of toxic capitalism and bad faith, carried out by jittery entrepreneurs whose skills include insider trading, worker-exploitation and burning down failing businesses for the insurance. It is set in late 19th-century Łódź, a supposed promised land of free enterprise, whose night skies are shown by Wajda as more or less permanently red with factories set ablaze.
Our three gruesome heroes are Karol (Daniel Olbrychski) who is a Pole, Maks (Andrzej Seweryn) who is German, and Moryc (Wojciech Pszoniak) who is Jewish; this last being considered in these times effectively a separate nationality, and in fact the uneasy suspicion between these identities creates something a little like the mood in Danzig,...

The following post contains spoilers for "Salt."
The 2010 film "Salt" stars Angelina Jolie as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy. The movie, directed by Phillip Noyce, reveals that she is one, but there is far more to it than simply that. She's been working as a double agent, set up to spy for Russia and waiting to be activated, but things have happened since she was put as a child into a secret Russian program. She's met a man (August Diehl), fallen in love, and gotten married. She's built herself a life. Oh, and then there was the reason she was made a Russian sleeper agent in the first place.
The ending reveals that she wasn't the only Russian child spy and that someone she never suspected is one as well. While the first thing you remember about "Salt" is likely the fuss...

Mubi's retrospective The Films of Krzysztof Zanussi is showing from January 18 - March 23 in most countries in the world.Krzysztof Zanussi"[T]he test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function." —F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack-Up "Many know much, but do not know themselves." —Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, The Meditations Despite not being an immediately recognizable name to many modern filmgoers, Krzysztof Zanussi is one of the most important Polish filmmakers. He gave a speech with Andrzej Wajda at the Filmmakers Forum in Gdańsk in 1975 that paved the way for the famous ‘cinema of moral anxiety.’ Although he is often overlooked by modern cinephiles—particularly in comparison to contemporaries like Kieślowski or Wajda—he is a fascinating director whose vast cinematic output followed a degree in philosophy and a PhD in physics.

Revered director of Katyn and The Promised Land passed away on Sunday.
Polish cinema - and the international film community at large – are mourning the passing yesterday (Oct 9) of the Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda.
His career spanned more than 60 years and included such classics as Ashes And Diamonds, Innocent Sorcerers, The Wedding, Man Of Marble, and Man Of Iron. Four of his features were Oscar-nominated, and he received an honorary Academy Award in 2000.
Wajda had been a resistance fighter during the Second World War and a Fine Art student in Krakow before studying film directing at the Lodz Film School, his debut feature A Generation in 1954 being the first part of a trilogy completed by Canal (1956) and Ashes and Diamonds (1958).
The films introduced Wajda to an international audience.

The 20 and 10-year sentences meted out to Ukrainian film director Oleg Sentsov’s and his co-defendant Aleksandr Kolchenko have been upheld by the military division of the Russian Supreme Court.
A three-judge panel of the Moscow court decided that the sentences passed at the end of August should remain “unchanged”.
Sentsov’s lawyer Dmitry Dinze said after the ruling that defence would make another appeal.
Independent of this, Sentsov is suing the Russian security services Fsb and mass media for defamation.
The chances of Sentsov and Kolchenko’s sentences being overturned by the Supreme Court had not augured well after the appeal by activist Gennady Afanasyev had been summarily rejected.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin condemned the court decision, saying that it was proof of the absence of justice in the Russian Federation and an example of the cynical policy currently being adopted.

The possibility of a prisoner exchange has been mooted ahead of the Ukrainian film director Oleg Sentsov’s appeal against his 20-year sentence before Russia’s Supreme Court tomorrow (Nov 24).
According to a report by the Ukrainian website joinfo.ua, Yuri Grabovsky, the lawyer of one of two Russians captured in the Luhansk region last May, told the TV channel 24 that Sentsov and political activist Oleksandr Kolchenko might be exchanged for his client Alexander Alexandrov and Evgeny Evrofeev.
“It will definitely not be [the detained Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda] Savchenko. From what we heard, the discussion was only about Sentsov and Kolchenko,” Grabovsky said, suggesting that the chances of an exchange taking place were at 50:50.
Earlier this month, the Russian Defence Ministry had confirmed that Alexandrov and Evrofeev had not been Russian servicemen at the time of their detention, but were in the service of the militants of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic.

A jury led by "Timbuktu" director Abderrahmane Sissako awarded the €15,000 top prize in the Cinéfondation Competition Friday to Pippa Bianco, of the AFI’s Directing Workshop for Women, for her short film, "Share." Hers was among 18 student films, selected from 593 entries, to screen in the Cinéfondation section this year. An Indiewire "Project of the Day" last year, "Share" stars Taissa Farmiga ("American Horror Story") as a 15-year-old girl who returns to school after someone shares an explicit video of her. In addition to the cash prize, the award comes with a guarantee that Bianco's first feature will be presented at Cannes. This year's jury also included Cécile de France, Joana Hadjithomas, Daniel Olbrychski, and Rebecca Zlotowski. The 593 entries represent 381 films schools worldwide.

In this isle of Britain we seem to be obsessed with regional dialects. We construct opinions based on the sounds and cadences they form. Stereotypes can be derived from even a simple “hullo”. A Liverpudlian accent makes you a thief, a Birmingham accent means you are dull/dim witted, a London accent makes you a geezer! The region and strength of the enunciation can make your brain subconsciously decide whether the accused speaker is friend or foe. This makes delivery of vocabulary in these alternate timbres very powerful. As such, we prize these intonations in language very dearly.
So, it was no surprise to me when the people of the United Kingdom were so vehemently offended about a story regarding an American actress trying and failing to replicate the intricate tones of a much cherished regional drawl, made it on to BBC national news, -far beyond the vales and boundaries...

Despite her talent, we unfortunately don't get to see Angelina Jolie quite a lot in serious dramas. However, as someone we're used to see in blockbusters, Angelina Jolie is one of the few Hollywood stars that can rival with many of Asia's most kick-ass action stars. Needless to say that Salt should entertain you at most.
In this espionage thriller, Jolie stars as Evelyn Salt (does she?), a CIA agent. One day, someone who appears to be a Russian defector (Daniel Olbrychski) comes to the CIA in order to reveal some secrets. As this man - named Vassily Orlov - is being interrogated by Salt, he reveals that Russia's president (Olek Krupa) will be assassinated during the funeral of the American Vice-President's funeral in New York.

One day, someone who appears to be a Russian defector (Daniel Olbrychski) comes to the CIA in order to reveal some secrets. As this man - named Vassily Orlov - is being interrogated by Salt, he reveals that Russia's president (Olek Krupa) will be assassinated during the funeral of the American Vice-President's funeral in New York. Moreover, this defector adds that the assassin is none other than a Russian sleeper agent named... Evelyn Salt. Since the CIA, which is led...

It's been quite awhile since Hollywood has dragged our old cold war enemy out of the closet to thrill us and scare us with spies, action, and of course the threat of the complete destruction of the world as we know it. Yet the bear is back - snarling and growling, riding a unicycle and juggling, and just as intent on the destruction of the United States as it ever was before.
Evelyn Salt is a high ranking CIA agent. One sunny day, an aging and apparently dying Russian defector appears at her office, ready to spill his spying guts for nefarious reasons of his own. His story is rather fantastic - decades ago, Russian Kgb agents abducted newborn children, and set about raising them themselves under a great 'Spymaster'. This...

Film: ‘Salt’; Director: Phillip Noyce; Cast: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Daniel Olbrychski; Rating:***
Action movies are easy. All it needs is a decent story, action and wit. An action-thriller is a different ball-game altogether. Not only do they have to get the action right, they also have to get the suspense and its delivery right. ‘Salt’ scores on the action and the story, but fails in the convincing delivery of the suspense.
In the film, Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is a CIA operative in New York, married to a German. A Russian defector informs them that Russia has infiltrated many super soldiers in different defence agencies of the Us who wait for the order.

Movie Review: Salt; Star cast: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Daniel Olbrychski; Director: Philip Noyce; Rating: *** – Jolie kicks butt with style.
July 24, 2010: Salt is one of those rare action flicks that has non-stop hard hitting action for ninety minutes straight and is all done with a brain. Originally, written for a male lead star, in which Tom Cruise was the primary candidate but after he turned it down because it was too similar to his role in Mission: Impossible the makers changed the script and took on Angelina Jolie to play the same.

The Angelina Jolie vehicle, Salt, should thank its lucky borsch (can beet soup be lucky? Just got with it) and toast some copious amounts of vodka to sexy real-life Russian spy Anna Chapman for all that free publicity as of late, because this flick needs all the breaks it can get. Phillip Noyce’s take on a sexy spy thriller is rarely any of those things – it’s not sexy, spying is reduced to consistently by-the-numbers double-crossing, and any and all thrills are negated by a script that wavers between laughably improbable and insultingly ludicrous. Who is Salt? I’m a little more concerned with who gave Salt the greenlight.

I was expecting Salt to be like a female version of the Bourne films, and it is as engaging as the best of that series. But unlike Jason Bourne, with Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie), we're never quite sure what her agenda is -- although we're still quite eager to follow her on her escapades.
The movie starts off with our heroine/anti-heroine being traded for another spy (sounds familiar, right?) after she was captured in North Korea and her German arachnologist boyfriend Mike (August Diehl) worked for her release (unaware at this point that she works for the CIA). Two years later, Mike and Evelyn are living in Washington, DC, married, and about to celebrate their anniversary when Salt is asked to interview a Russian spy who has turned himself in to the CIA.
This spy, Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski), spins a tale about a Russian program in the 1970s that...

There's no law that an action movie has to make sense — it can just be all action. "Salt" is a demonstration of this. However, the best action movies consist of more than nonstop frenzy, and they can sell their wildest implausibilities — James Bond with his jet packs and underwater tuxedos, Jason Bourne still alive in the sea after taking two bullets in the back — with a spirited blend of style, pace and personality. In its indifference to such elements, "Salt" is a demonstration of how important they are.
The story does kick off with a clever hook. Top CIA agent Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is in the middle of grilling a Russian intelligence operator named Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski) when he tells her that the Agency has been infiltrated by a Russian mole, whose ambitious mission it is to destroy the United States.

If you’re expecting a taut thriller with a super sexy Angelina Jolie kicking butt, you can let that vision go. What ‘Salt’ is – is Angelina at her kick ass best and leaving the concept of sexiness in the rear view mirror. In fact, aside from the sexy split skirt she sports in the opening interrogation scene, there isn’t another single memorable portion of the film that highlights or even accessorizes with her looks. Therein lies the genius of making a great suspense-thriller; put your best looking offering in the role (which was offered first to Tom Cruise), and let the story and action work for itself.
Angelina Jolie (Gia, Hackers) portrays Evelyn Salt, a sharp-as-a-tack CIA officer who at the end of her shift wants nothing more than to get home to her husband and celebrate their first anniversary when fate, in the form of a covert Russian spy,...

If you’ve seen a trailer for Salt, then it’s likely you know too much about this film. Though, even if you’ve somehow escaped the movie’s terrible trailer, Salt doesn’t give audiences very much to cheer for. With a cartoonish plot, an unsympathetic main character and overly convenient plot devices, Salt takes itself far too seriously. A spy movie without suspense is like a romantic comedy without a silly misunderstanding or a slasher film where a good-looking teen victim is merely punched in the nose. Without suspense, the entire film will just hobble down its lifeless path en route to a grave sin for the genre: a predictable ending.
Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is a top-notch spy for the CIA. Bound to a desk job after being busted and subsequently beaten for espionage in North Korea, Salt has a knack for discovering bullplop when it strolls...

The 1970s Virginia Slims cigarette promos boasted the slogan “You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby” toward their femme demo and the same prideful adage can be applied to the female action hero who has broken ceilings at the cinema over the last 40 years.
In the wake of the body count left behind by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone in the ’80s and ‘90s, it’s often asked Who is the action hero of now?
As a fresh crop of actors make their mark in the genre, they become too pretentious about fully wearing the crown for fear of being pigeon-holed: Gerard Butler and Vin Diesel prefer to dabble in bullets.

Tales of espionage need to encompass two elements at all times. Intricate plot and action sequences that get the adrenaline pumping. Pretty standard these days. Almost too standard though. Ever since The Bourne Identity blew everyone away, more filmmakers started to mimic that style. Every flick in the genre since Bourne has been almost identical. Makes one kind of miss the delivery of a '90s James Bond flick.
Coming in at possibly the right time is Salt. Although the 100 minute feature does have its cliched moments, audiences will easily let them pass by (much like the secret service agents chasing our title character). As they continue to enjoy the consistent action and plot twists. It was also nice not being able to see all the twists coming for once.
Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is a CIA officer who has done it all for her country.

On the far fringes of conspiracy-theory enthusiasts lurks a particular subset that even Art Bell used to have a hard time taking seriously: those who believe the greatest threat to the United States, freedom, democracy, and all that’s good in the world remains the Soviet Union. Salt could have been made specifically for them. Directed by Phillip Noyce from a script by Kurt Wimmer, Salt stars Angelina Jolie as a CIA operative whose already-dangerous life takes a peculiar turn when a man claiming to be a Russian defector (Daniel Olbrychski) walks into her office building with a story about ...

Every year, the summer season invariably brings action movie apologists who love to label anything with a quickened pulse and a sexy lead as “fun” and anyone who disagrees as a curmudgeon incapable of being entertained by explosions. Prepare your outrage and hyperbolic praises, action junkies.
Phillip Noyce’s Salt is an implausible amalgam of action set pieces with no interest in practicality, a chase thriller that adopts the “go big” attitude of the Hollywood blockbuster and none of the logic, humor or suspense of quality storytelling.
Angelina Jolie is a Jason Bourne knock-off who uses her feminine wiles and wiry frame to thwart enemies as brainless as this movie, but she looks good while executing those heart-pounding sequences, so nevermind that pesky plot.
The opening reveals a torture chamber and Evelyn Salt (Jolie) in her bra and panties, bloodied and beaten, a blunt, immediate reminder of the female empowerment...

Not even Phillip Noyce can create a good film out of a Kurt Wimmer script. With Law Abiding Citizen being one of the most inane cinematic offerings last year, I decided to embark on a seemingly impossible task: wash it from my memory and start fresh with Salt. Little to my surprise, Salt is nearly the same film. Replace the ridiculous characters and paper-thin plot and you have the same infuriatingly obnoxious twists that occur at breakneck speed across the third act, as well as a new set of absurd characters to play out the slim plot.
Our investment in the twists and the characters doing the twisting is founded upon sloppily inserted flashbacks in which Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) conjures up whenever the time is right. Flashbacks aren’t strictly relegated to character development though, they are also used for plot. After a promising prologue involving a captured Salt...

There was a time when Angelina Jolie was a bankable action star, one of the few women who could open an action picture with a successful box office. She was a trim, badass unafraid to kick butt and look good. Well, she's still trim. And she still looks great. But as an action hero, her new film "Salt" proves that age catches all of us. Jolie is Evelyn Salt, a CIA operative who is accused of being a Russian plant by Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski), a defector who turns up on the Company's doorstep. That puts her husband in danger and her in the crosshairs of a massive manhunt—um, womanhunt—when it's suspected that she'll try to commit an assassination in the next few days. Of course, they can't contain her, because she's so agro, and many harrowing chase scenes later, we're starting to wonder just where her loyalties lie.

Apple’s also got your second look at the trailer for Angelina Jolie’s spy actioner “Salt”, which pours on the action scenes and Angelina Jolie generally looking very hot while kicking ass. Basically, Angelina Jolie being Angelina Jolie. Hey, when you got it, mind as well flaunt it, right? As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt’s efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: “Who Is Salt?” Starring Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Yara Shahidi, Zoe Lister Jones, Gaius Charles, James Schram, Victor Slezak,...
