Quiz Cinema 2019/2020 - A Questão de Jun(h)o

A última questão. Como hoje é dia 10 de junho, Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades, fazemos a pergunta final em português.

Conforme vimos na questão anterior, o Festival de Cannes não se realizará este ano, por razões sobejamente conhecidas. Ainda assim, a Seleção Oficial de Cannes foi anunciada (https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/infos-communiques/communique/articles/the-films-of-the-official-selection-2020) e estes mesmos filmes farão o seu percurso noutros festivais, nos próximos meses, levando consigo a Chancela Cannes.

Caso o Festival tivesse decorrido de forma natural, The French Dispatch, do luminoso realizador Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel), teria aberto o certame. O elenco é de luxo, contando com inúmeros atores brilhantes! Seis deles (três homens e três mulheres) já venceram Óscares: Melhor Ator, Melhor Atriz, Melhor Ator num Papel Secundário e Melhor Atriz num Papel Secundário.

A última questão, então: vê o trailer do filme e indica os três atores vencedores de Óscares (se fores rapaz) ou as três atrizes vencedoras de Óscares (se fores rapariga). A lista dos nomes dos atores/atrizes surge no trailer.

Mas há mais! Como esta é a última questão, podes ganhar mais pontos! Se acertares nos/nas três atores/atrizes, receberás os habituais 10 pontos (mais 5/4/3/2 ou 1 se fores dos 5 primeiros). Poderás ganhar ainda mais 3, 6 ou 9 pontos caso indiques igualmente os/as outros/as atores/atrizes: 3 pontos por cada ator/atriz, portanto.

De forma clara, se fores rapariga, receberás pontos se também indicares os atores vencedores de Óscares; e vice-versa. No máximo, um(a) aluno/a, poderá somar 24 pontos na última questão! Para isso, terá de acertar nos 3 atores/3 atrizes (tendo sido o mais rápido) e indicar corretamente os/as 3 restantes atores/atrizes (10+5+9). Em todo o caso, qualquer aluno que acerte nos 3 atores e nas 3 atrizes receberá, no mínimo, 19 pontos.

NO CRYING

Quiz Cinema 2019/2020 - The May Question

May is the month of the Cannes Film Festival, arguably the greatest of its kind. There was no such thing this year, so Bong Joon-ho's Parasite still holds as the most recent winner of the Palm d'Or. The film would later on win at The Oscars, as well.

Some days prior to South Korea's first win ever in Cannes, the IndieWire crew, including Eric Kohn, Anne Thompson and David Ehrlich, ranked the best Palm D'Or winners ever. You can check their list below.

Quiz Cinema 2019/2020 - The September Question

Parasite, directed by Bong Joon-ho (South Korea), the winner of the Palme D'Or 2019 at the Cannes Film Festival (in May), premiered in Portugal three days ago, last Thursday. Such a complete film! Like Burning (in competition at Cannes, France, in 2018), directed by Lee Chang-dong, Parasite depicts the quiet clash between the rich and the poor in Korean society. It is another great Korean film about writing one's life from the bottom. So is Burning, one of our all-time favourites.

Bong Joon-ho won the Palme D'Or, the most prestigious of all film festival awards. The other most prestigious film festival awards? The Golden Bear (Berlin, Germany, in February), the Golden Leopard (Locarno, Switzerland, in August) and the Golden Lion (Venice, Italy, in September).

Which films won the Golden Bear, the Golden Leopard and the Golden Lion in 2019?

Answer like this:

- Golden Bear: [film]

- Golden Leopard: [film]

- Golden Lion: [film]

Here are some clues: one of the films premieres in Portugal next Thursday, 3rd October; one of the films is Portuguese!

Deadline: Sunday, 6/10/2019 - 23:59.

Ásia "Bicampeã" em Cannes: Palma D'Ouro em 2018 e 2019

Depois de Shoplifters, de Koreeda Hirokazu (Japão), em 2018, Parasite, de Bong Joon-ho (Coreia do Sul), vence a Palma D'Ouro em 2019. Ainda há dúvidas acerca da qualidade suprema do cinema asiático?

Em jeito de curiosidade, o último filme que vimos no cinema, há uma semana, foi Burning (2018), de Lee Chang-dong (Coreia do Sul), o filme mais aclamado de sempre pelos críticos em Cannes (Screen's Cannes Jury Grid), seguramente um dos nossos preferidos dos últimos anos.

Festival de Cannes 2019 - Winners

Palme d’Or

• 
  Parasite first look: Bong Joon-ho builds a wicked bridge over the class divide

  Bong Joon-ho fuses home-invasion thrills with a searing critique of social inequality in this rip-roaring con-family comedy, says Isabel Stevens. 
  Thursday 23 May 2019

Grand Prix

• 
  Atlantics first look: Mati Diop’s paranormal take on the migration crisis

  The Senegalese filmmaker’s feature debut blends the supernatural into an uneven but tenderly ethereal tale of injustice, exodus and abandonment in a dystopian modern-day Dakar, writes Beth Webb. 
  Friday 17 May 2019

Jury Prize (shared)

• 
  Bacurau first look: a way out weird western for menacing times

  Brazil’s bad blood rises in a small corner of the country’s Northeastern hinterlands as Udo Kier’s brigade of gringos besiege Sonia Braga’s small-town community – and co-directors Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles let the movie whims fly, writes Isabel Stevens. 
  Friday 17 May 2019

Jury Prize (shared)

• 
  Les Misérables first look: a tense tour of a Paris commune still in crisis

  The violently divided society of Victor Hugo’s novel persists in local Ladj Ly’s scintillating feature debut, which follows a police investigation into a riot in a Montfermeil banlieu, writes Katherine McLaughlin. 
  Tuesday 21 May 2019

Best Directors (Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne)

• 
  Young Ahmed first look: the Dardennes ponder the riddle of radicalisation

  Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne aren’t on their surest ground with this depiction of a young man swayed by Islamic fundamentalism; but as minor works go, it still packs some surprises, writes Caspar Salmon.
