What the Dickens? Pip never saw Estella like this ...

Article Abstract:

Filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron wanted to re-tell the Charles Dickens story 'Great Expectations' from an erotic and sensuous viewpoint. This is why he frequently uses very close camerawork for the main character, Estella, who is played by Gwyneth Paltrow. She placed great emphasis on her body language, but was also very natural and brings warmth and humanity to the role. Cuaron found it intimidating to work with Robert De Niro, who plays the convict character.

A self-made man with no sleeping partners

Article Abstract:

Filmmaker Sartaj Khan believes that his films are commercial but have an art feel. He used to sell bedding, and feels that this was valuable experience for a career in selling films. He worked extremely hard to establish himself in the film industry, and was able to set up his own company, Star Land Entertainment, in relatively little time. He is not ashamed to take a very commercial approach, and enjoys selling his films as much as making them.

Article Abstract:

Telefilm Canada, the federal film agency, has established a fund to encourage films which are more mainstream than those traditionally associated with the Canadian film industry. Some observers feel that this may be a negative development, removing what makes Canadian films distinctive.
