👉Movie more: https://news.freshnews96.com/41744/
directed by Jacques Rivette, is a meditative, slow-burning exploration of art, creation, and the complex dynamics between artist and muse. Loosely inspired by Balzac’s short story The Unknown Masterpiece, the film unfolds over four hours, immersing the viewer in the intimate and often grueling process of making art.
The story follows Edouard Frenhofer (Michel Piccoli), a once-famous painter who has long abandoned work on an ambitious, unfinished painting titled La Belle Noiseuse ("The Beautiful Troublemaker"). When a young painter, Nicolas (David Bursztein), visits Frenhofer with his girlfriend Marianne (Emmanuelle Béart), the aging artist finds new inspiration in Marianne and decides to resume his work using her as the model. Initially resistant, Marianne agrees to pose, leading to a prolonged and intense collaboration that slowly consumes both artist and subject.
Rivette films the process in near real-time, devoting long stretches to the physical act of drawing, sketching, and painting. These sequences, captured with patient, deliberate cinematography, reveal the vulnerability, tension, and psychological interplay between Frenhofer and Marianne. As the sessions progress, their relationship grows fraught, challenging personal boundaries and unearthing buried desires and frustrations.

Ben-Hur (1959 film) 🍿🍿
🔥🔥 Watch here : https://us.freshnews87.com/37819/
Ben-Hur is a 1959 American religious epic film[1] directed by William Wyler, produced by Sam Zimbalist, and starring Charlton Heston as the title character. A remake of the 1925 silent film with a similar title, it was adapted from Lew Wallace's 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. The screenplay is credited to Karl Tunberg, but includes contributions from Maxwell Anderson, S. N. Behrman, Gore Vidal, and Christopher Fry. The cast also features Stephen Boyd, Jack Hawkins, Haya Harareet, Hugh Griffith, Martha Scott, Cathy O'Donnell in her final film, and Sam Jaffe.

Ben-Hur had the largest budget ($15.175 million), as well as the largest sets built, of any film produced at the time. Costume designer Elizabeth Haffenden oversaw a staff of 100 wardrobe fabricators to make the costumes, and a workshop employing 200 artists and workmen provided the hundreds of friezes and statues needed in the film. Filming commenced on May 18, 1958, and wrapped on January 7, 1959, with shooting lasting for 12 to 14 hours a day and six days a week. Pre-production began in Italy at Cinecittà around October 1957, and post-production took six months.

Under cinematographer Robert L. Surtees, executives at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer made the decision to produce the film in a widescreen format. Over 200 camels and 2,500 horses were used in the shooting of the film, with some 10,000 extras. The sea battle was filmed using miniatures in a huge tank on the back lot at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios in Culver City, California. The nine-minute chariot race has become one of cinema's most famous action sequences, and the score, composed and conducted by Miklós Rózsa, was at the time the longest ever composed for a film, and was highly influential on cinema for over 15 years.

Following a $14.7 million marketing effort, Ben-Hur premiered at Loew's State Theatre in New York City on November 18, 1959. It was the fastest-grossing as well as the highest-grossing film of 1959, becoming the second highest-grossing film in history at the time, after Gone with the Wind. It won a record eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Wyler), Best Actor in a Leading Role (Heston), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Griffith), and Best Cinematography – Color (Surtees); it also won Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture for Stephen Boyd. In 1998, the American Film Institute named it the 72nd best American film and the second best American epic film in the AFI's 10 Top 10. In 2004, the National Film Preservation Board selected Ben-Hur for preservation by the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
