Movie Review: Damsels in Distress

Chicago Tribune | Apr 16, 2012

College is a strange, serendipitous time and place: Events, experiences, strangers come swooping into your life like birds of prey and before you know it you're carried off somewhere wholly new. In "Damsels in Distress," writer-director-cinematic dandy Whit Stillman's first feature since "The Last Days of Disco" (1998), all the key females are named after flowers. At the (fictional) Seven Oaks college student orientation, a transfer student, Lily, is forcibly befriended by a clutch of primly dressed specimens named Violet, Rose and Heather. Ringleader Violet, played by Greta Gerwig, spies a soul in need of assistance, a lump of insecure c... more

LOS ANGELES - The future of a film about ancient Jewish warrior Judah Maccabee may be close to flickering out. Warner Bros. spokesman Paul McGuire said Friday that the studio is "analyzing what to do with the project." The film about the biblical hero was to be a collaboration between producer Mel Gibson and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas. After the studio recently rejected Eszterhas' script, the screenwriter accused Gibson of anti-Semitism in a letter published online. Gibson responded with his own letter denying the allegations. In 2006, Gibson was arrested for drunken driving. A leaked arrest report revealed he used anti-Semitic and sexi... more
