Worldfilm News Roundup: Destino, Pina, Tarkovsky

Monday July 6, 2009

Destino, a lovely and appropriately surreal collaboration by Salvador Dali and Walt Disney, is available in its entirety on YouTube -- -- at least for now. Watch it while you can!

You might have heard that legendary choreographer Pina Bausch has died. She was 68 years old. Now Wim Wenders has stopped production on his 3D dance film Pina. YouTube has a clip from Pedro Almodovar's Talk to Her, featuring Bausch.

Speaking of Almodovar: here's the English-language trailer for his new film Broken Embraces, starring -- once again -- Penelope Cruz.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York will be Revisiting Tarkovsky from July 7 - 14. We're especially excited about the chance to see Andrei Rublev on the big screen and curious about the documentary Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky, billed as "touching, highly personal and provocative record of the lingering effects of Tarkovsky on an extraordinary range of individuals."

Myna Joseph's Man, a short about two sisters' coming-of-age, was one of the most memorable films at last year's New Directors/New Films. We just found out that you can watch it online.

New York isn't wrong to call Man "unsettling," but if you want really unsettling (in a good way), you should take a look at the trailer for RoboGeisha, from Machine Girl director Noboru Iguchi.

Finally: "Great Moments in Cinema Ruined by Cookies."
