"The Tree" trailer - in UK Cinemas Friday 5th August 2011 - Starring: Charlotte Gainsbourg, Morgana Davies, Marton Csokas, Christian Byers, Tom Russell
Uploaded by movieclipsTRAILERS on Jun 23, 2011
Directed By:
Julie Bertuccelli
After the sudden death of her father, 8-year-old Simone (Morgana Davies) shares a secret with her mother Dawn (Charlotte Gainsbourg). She's convinced her father (Aden Young) speaks to her through the leaves of her favourite tree and he's come back to protect them. But the new bond between mother and daughter is threatened when Dawn starts a relationship with George (Marton Csokas), the plumber, called in to remove the tree's troublesome roots. As the branches of the tree start to infiltrate the house, the family is forced to make an agonising decision. But have they left it too late?
Dawn and Peter O'Neil live together with their children (three boys and a girl), on the outskirts of a small country town. Next to their rambling house stands the kids' favorite playground: a giant Moreton Bay Fig tree, whose branches reach high towards the sky and roots stretch far into the ground.
Everything seems perfect until Peter suffers a heart attack, crashing his car into the tree's trunk. Dawn is devastated, left alone with her grief and four children to raise. Until one day, 8-year-old Simone, reveals a secret to her mother. She's convinced her father whispers to her through the leaves of the tree and he's come back to protect them. Dawn takes comfort from Simone's imagination, and starts to believe in it herself; just like Simone, Dawn also likes to spend time in the tree. It starts to dominate their physical and emotional landscape. But the close bond between mother and Simone forged through a mutual sorrow and shared secret, is threatened by the arrival of George, the plumber, called in to remove the tree's troublesome roots. As the relationship between Dawn and George blossoms, the tree continues to grow, with its branches infiltrating the house, its roots destroy the foundations. Dawn decides the tree has to go. George and some other workmen arrive, but Simone climbs in the tree to defend it. Dawn and George try to convince her, but she refuses to come down. George argues to Dawn that the girl is only 8 years old, Dawn should not allow her to stop the necessary removal of the tree. This irritates Dawn, and she cancels the operation, and tells George she does not want to see him again.
In a big storm the house is demolished by the tree, and the family leaves the area, planning to start living somewhere else, perhaps in a tent.
The Tree is a French/Australian 2010 Christmas film co-produced between Australia and France. It was filmed in the small town of Boonah in Queensland, Australia and follows the lives of Dawn (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and her four children after the unexpected death of her husband Peter (Aden Young). The film is an adaptation of the debut novel Our Father Who Art in The Tree by Australian writer and performer Judy Pascoe. The film closed the Cannes Film Festival[2] on 23 May 2010 following the Awards Ceremony and received a seven-minute standing ovation.[3] As well as this, The Tree premiered at the 2010 Sydney Film Festival.[4] The film is distributed in the U.S. by Zeitgeist Films, opening on July 22, 2011 in New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Washington, D.C., and throughout the country over the summer.
The Tree was written and directed by Julie Bertuccelli, it is based on the screenplay by Elizabeth J Mars, and produced by Sue Taylor of Taylor Media, Yael Fogiel and Laetitia Gonzalez of Les Films du Poisson, the film is a co-production between Australia and France. It came to be a co-production when Julie Bertuccelli was given the book Our Father Who Art in The Tree from a close friend. When she looked into getting the rights for the film she found that Australian producer Sue Taylor already had them, however she did not have a producer. It just so happened that Julie is a producer, and from there the co-production was born. The tree used in the film is located in the small town of Boonah in the state of Queensland. It has a 34m spread, 20m height and 2.31m diameter at 1m above ground which is the narrowest point. The tree has low branches which have not been pruned off, and when they are laden with fruit they reach the ground. It is very rare to find this in a Moreton Bay Fig Tree. It is estimated that it was planted in 1880.

The star of the global phenomenon that has already become the biggest selling Nintendo DS brand in the UK, Professor Layton now faces his toughest puzzle yet in the brand new and exciting feature-length animated adventure for all the family, Professor Layton And The Eternal Diva, coming to DVD and Blu-ray on 18th October 2010, courtesy of Manga Entertainment.
Produced by Masakazu Kubo (producer of the Pokemon movies) and based on the Nintendo and Level 5 video game series that to date has sold 5.5 million copies worldwide and been played by an estimated 3 million British gamers. Both young and old have fallen in love with Professor Layton and the film brings the world's greatest amateur super-sleuth to life like never before.
When Professor Layton receives a letter along with complimentary opera tickets from a former student-turned-opera singer, the contents of the note prove to be irresistibly intriguing. In it, she informs the Professor that a friend of hers who died one year ago has now reappeared as a seven-year-old girl who claims to be immortal.
Hoping to get to the bottom of this puzzling affair, the Professor, young Luke and Layton's assistant Remi head off to the Crown Petone Theatre to attend a performance of a new opera composed by pianist Oslo Whistler and based upon research by Layton's mentor, Dr. Schrader, into the legends surrounding the ancient Kingdom of Ambrosia, otherwise known as the land of eternal life. At the theatre, it soon becomes apparent that there is a common motive amongst many of the audience members when a mysterious figure appears on stage and announces the start of a brainteaser game. Incredibly, it is announced that the winner of the game will be rewarded with the gift of immortality. With Luke's help, Professor Layton sets about solving the series of puzzles, unaware that mortal danger lurks at every turn.
Professor Layton And The Eternal Diva (cert. U) will be released on DVD (£15.99) and Blu-ray (£19.99) by Manga Entertainment on 18th October 2010.

"Les Arbitres" trailer - in UK Cinemas Friday 5th August 2011 - Starring: Howard Webb, Manuel Mejuto González, Roberto Rosetti, Michel Platini, Peter Fröjdfeldt
Yves Hinant, Belgium, 2009, 77 minutes
Directed By:
Yves Hinant, Eric Cardot, Lehericey Delphine
If you think your job is stressful, you havent seen anything yet. The pre-game preparations of European soccer referees, which variously include throwing up, praying to God and generally being utterly terrified, make evident the demands of their job.
The original title of Yves Hinants revelatory new documentary was Kill the Referee, which captures just how high the stakes are in the world of international soccer. These mysterious men with whistles and cards are not just hated, they are loathed, reviled, the subject of death threats, bomb threats and more invective than is humanly possible to withstand. Its little wonder that they approach each game as if it was their very last.
From the films opening scene, where Swiss referee Massimo Busacca is captured in the final moments of a match between Greece and Sweden, the level of intensity and attention demanded from the men officiating the play is almost super human. Wild-eyed and sweating bullets, Busacca communicates with his assistants, who are constantly feeding him information through their radio headsets. Bits of their dialogue, punctured by bouts of furious profanity, and a deep animal roar from the packed crowd make explicitly clear the pressures that be.
A huge hit when it premiered at the Locarno Film Festival, The Referees was filmed with unprecedented access, capturing the different teams of officials (helpfully delineated by nationality into Norwegians, Italians and English) both on the field and off. A particularly telling event took place during the Euro 08 finals when English official Howard Webb made a correct, albeit extremely unpopular call, and awarded a penalty kick to Austria, which allowed them to tie up their game with Poland. A goal which prompted Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk to publicly declare that he wanted to kill Howard Webb. The members of Webbs immediate family had to be placed under police protection and even Webb himself, an ex-policeman, appeared a little shaken when he discovered doctored photos of himself on the internet sporting a Hitler moustache.
One might well ask is it all worth if? The answer may lie in how you feel about soccer. Thankfully the World Cup, held this year in South Africa, is just around the corner, which may provide additional clarification.
While of obvious interest to sports nuts, the film is also a telling examination of human behavior under stressful conditions and the private worlds of men who must keep their composure and their judgment in the midst of raging egos and intimidating physiques.

Have just got back from my big monthly shop in Antequera - once again I visited the garden centre for grass fertilizer and purchased another grape plant for the border to the new path around the finca. Yesterday I went to Málaga acting as an interpreter for my neighbour for their injections required for their holiday in Nepal.
