Worldfilm Bulletin: Edward Yang, Wes Anderson, Spike Lee
Monday July 2, 2007
- Filmmaker Edward Yang has died of complications from colon cancer at the age of 59. Yang won best director at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000 for Yi Yi (A One and a Two), an acutely realistic and touching portrait of a Taiwanese family.
- The New York Film Festival announced their opening night selection: Wes Anderson's Darjeeling Limited (pictured). Rushmore star Jason Schwartzman and Anderson regular Owen Wilson are starring together with Oscar-winner Adrien Brody in a story about three brothers' strained attempt at connection during an arduous train trip through India. Also screening: Joel and Ethan Coen's No Country For Old Men and Palme d'Or winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days. The complete lineup.

- New to our online movies section: watch three complete seasons of the outstanding Canadian TV series Slings & Arrows, cut into bite-sized chunks. For a different kind of experience, take a look at the audacious Beatles and newsreel mashup from 1976, All This and World War II [via metafilter].
- Spike Lee does Broadway. The director of such groundbreaking films as Do The Right Thing and When the Levees Broke is trying his hand at the theater. He's slated to direct a revival of the prisoner-of-war drama Stalag 17 next spring.
