Robert Pattinson's "Cosmopolis" Makes Slant Magazine's List Of 25 Best Films Of 2012

Robert Pattinson's "Cosmopolis" Makes Slant Magazine's List Of 25 Best Films Of 2012

Yet another best of list for "Cosmopolis". It's at no 13 of Slant Magazine's 25 Best Films Of 2012.
Expect more to come in the next few weeks.



From Slant Magazine :

13. Cosmopolis. In the end, it's mere gravy that David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis unfolds in a world that eerily, and almost blatantly, reflects our modern headlines, its Occupy themes and global-capital woes perpetually looming. What's truly depicted in this gorgeous adaptation of Don DeLillo's prescient 2003 novel is the whittling down of the poster boy of individual, millennial anxieties, sparked by the deadly, rampant elixir of privilege, apathy, and telecommuting. From his rolling command center of a white limousine, the WiFi hot spot of the obscenely rich, billionaire Eric Packer (a revelatory Robert Pattinson) is at once linked up to the world and maddeningly removed from it, his personal, untried revolving door granting equal access to wisdom and delusion, personified by the limo's parade of guests. Evoking its director's past aesthetics and bodily interests with cool restraint, Cosmopolis is a wry, stylish nightmare of contemporary disconnect, and an audacious charting of all that crumbles when reality seeps in. With much dialogue lifted verbatim from DeLillo's text, the film's dizzying verbosity may be challenging to swallow, but in a cinematic year teeming with lone protagonists clawing for ways to survive, it has more to say—and to mull over—than maybe 100 movies.  R.

Cosmopolis with Robert Pattinson, "played to perfection", is one of the most overlooked films of 2012

Cosmopolis with Robert Pattinson, "played to perfection", is one of the most overlooked films of 2012

Be proud, DR! Cosmopolis makes another year end list!



This time from The Film Stage's Most Overlooked Films of 2012:

This one’s been stewing in my brain for months, and none of the reflection has tainted this film one bit; if anything, it’s only grown more valuable over time. David Cronenberg’s limousine trip into the damaged perspective of a young, emotionally hollow fat cat — played to perfection by a not-as-advertised Robert Pattinson — can’t really be considered the most accessible work of 2012, but those willing to go with its strange rhythms and mysterious internal logic are bound to get… something. While I think it’s best people make the thing out for themselves by just letting it all sit, those simply hoping for a left-of-center cinematic experience ought to find themselves more than pleased. And that’s without even considering the incredible music of Howard Shore & Metric. 

Hold On To Me director, James Marsh, compliments Robert Pattinson: I loved his attitude towards cinema

Hold On To Me director, James Marsh, compliments Robert Pattinson: I loved his attitude towards cinema


This is the google translation but you can still make out the compliment clearly (bolded in blue). Love what James Marsh had to say about Rob and the film. Excerpt from Cinema Teaser (France):

So if Marsh has turned this mini-series even without official title next summer, which is HOLD ON TO ME, her project with Robert Pattinson and Carey Mulligan?
"This advance," reassures Marsh. "I think turning in early 2013 if funding is secured."
Often compared to ALL READY TO Gus Van Sant because of its pitch (a beauty queen kidnapped and buried alive a man for money), Marsh tells us that he finds suitable comparison, although: "BOOGIE NIGHTS will also be a model in terms of tone. This is one of my favorite movies, because it goes to the dark humor in a second. HOLD ON TO ME is a dark comedy. Documentaries had my humor - at least I hope - as my fictions were heavier. There will be more exuberant. "
An album that could change Marsh's career, due to the presence in the cast of Robert Pattinson: "Robert is interesting: he knows where he wants to go and he wants to work on projects that help to make as COSMOPOLIS . He uses his fame and power to help people like me to make interesting films. It has a lot of potential. When we met, I loved his attitude towards cinema. He loved the script and told me so very intelligent. It will be a great asset to HOLD ON TO ME and I hope with him to suddenly casting this rameutera full of teenage girls in the rooms to corrupt! (Laughter.)
Finally, Marsh has revealed the actor he wanted to complete the cast: "I would hire an actor in the series GIRLS, Adam Driver. It is a great actor, yet little known. This will form a great triangle with Robert and Carey. "A great actor indeed already seen in J. EDGAR, and soon to be in Steven Spielberg's LINCOLN, Inside Llewyn Davis of Coen, THE F WORD with Daniel Radcliffe or FRANCES HA Noah Baumbach.

On a side note, Marsh won his Oscar for the documentary, Man On Wire. It's available on instant play for Netflix and I encourage you to check it out if you're a subscriber. It's an amazing film. Captivating from start to finish. Let me know if you've seen it in the comments. I'll probably want to rave about it. :)

He's got me singin' "my my myyyyy my my my my" in this 3-piece suit. He recognized it was his first time wearing the style. Wonder if he realized it overheated us just as much as him.
