In short: The reason we know that Ally isn’t shallow, and thus is a star worthy of being born, is because she can craft a song with depth. This imagery is a standard of the musical-drama genre from 8 Mile to Once I haven’t seen Bohemian Rhapsody yet, but I’ll be disappointed if there isn’t a scene in which the camera zooms in on a notebook page that’s blank except for a single line: “We will … we will. As has already been expounded upon many times, what girds the irresistible, time-tested narrative of A Star Is Born 4.0 is the idea that Jackson and Ally are bound together by a respect for the process of songwriting, represented on screen via montages of scribbling lyrics on lined paper.

Type in “shallow” as a search term on this website and you get “The Songs From A Star Is Born, Ranked” (in which it somehow finished second on a soundtrack designed to showcase it) “The Best Songs in the (Fictional) Universe, Ranked” (ditto, albeit against a much tougher field ) and “ The Nonwords in Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s ‘Shallow,’ Ranked,” which adjudged Gaga-as-Ally’s throaty vocalization on the run-up to the chorus as “instantly iconic, unavoidable, wont to worm its way into your brain and besiege every thought.”Ĭertainly, “Shallow” was smartly performed by Gaga and the former DJ Ski Mask to reflect and refract the various subtexts of a movie that worships the concept of pop authorship. Odds are that at least a few of these people are Ringer staff writers. The Venice 2018 programme includes several titles that look set to feature in awards season, including the world premiere of Damien Chazelle’s First Man as festival opener Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut A Star Is Born starring Cooper alongside Lady Gaga and Mike Leigh’s historical drama Peterloo about the massacre of a peaceful political rally in Manchester, UK in 1819.Īlso screening at the festival is Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria remake starring Dakota Johnson Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite with Olivia Colman and Emma Stone Paul Greengrass’ 22 July telling the story of the Utoya terrorist attack and Jennifer Kent’s The Nightingale, her first film since 2014’s The Babadook.There can be a hundred people in a room, and 99 of them are going to tell you that, if they had a vote, it would go to “Shallow” for Best Original Song at this year’s Academy Awards. Shot by Bruno Delbonnel on the Arri Alexa camera, the film will be the first digital production for the directors.
The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs will star previous Coen Brothers collaborator Tim Blake Nelson ( O Brother, Where Art Thou?) in the eponymous role, with further cast including Liam Neeson, Tom Waits and Zoe Kazan. It was our great fortune that they both agreed to participate. Having written an anthology of Western stories we attempted to do the same, hoping to enlist the best directors working today. The Coens released a tongue-in cheek statement about the project: “We’ve always loved anthology movies, especially those films made in Italy in the Sixties which set side-by-side the work of different directors on a common theme. The six-chapter anthology structure will remain, but it is now categorised as a feature film, Netflix have confirmed to Screen.
#BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS LOCATIONS SERIES#
It was announced last year as a Netflix original series featuring six stories about life on the American frontier. The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs, the Netflix project from writer-directors Joel and Ethan Coen, has changed format from an anthology series to a film, and will have its world premiere in competition at Venice Film Festival (August 29 – September 8).
