You Don't Like the Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantanamo

A Films Transit release of a Les Films Adobe production in association with D. Produced by Luc Cote, Patricio Henriquez. Executive producer, Kevin Kraus. Directed by Luc Cote, Patricio Henriquez.With: Omar Khadr, Mozzam Begg, Omar Deghayes, Damien Corsetti, Michelle Shephard, Raul Berdichevsky, Lieutenant Commander William Kuebler, Bill Graham.Luc Cote and Patricio Henriquez's "You Don't Like the Truth" demonstrates, through excerpts from an actual videotaped interrogation at Guantanamo, the process by which human will can be systematically broken down to force an admission of guilt, regardless of truth. By showing a delegation of Canadians grilling a fellow Canadian youth who was previously tortured by Americans, this disturbing docu casts the U.S. not as an exporter of democracy but as an international enabler of civil-rights violations. Bowing Sept. 28 at Gotham's Film Forum, advocacy pic should spark sufficient outrage to propel it through the arthouse circuit. In 2002, Omar Khadr, then 15, was holed up in a suspected Afghani terrorist compound firebombed by U.S. troops. The sole survivor, Khadr was charged with throwing a grenade that killed an American soldier. Still recuperating from near-fatal wounds, he was sent to Bagram Detention Center, where he allegedly was tortured; his affidavit account, read aloud, is supported by onscreen testimony from former cellmates and even from notorious interrogator Damien Corsetti, who admits believing Khadr was unfairly treated. From there, Khadr was shipped to Guantanamo and subjected to further abuse. The videotaped interrogation, conducted not by American military but by the CSIS (the Canadian equivalent of the CIA), took place about a year into Khadr's imprisonment and was filmed with three hidden surveillance cameras. The classified footage was made public in 2009 by order of the Canadian Supreme Court, and reps the only such imagery ever to emerge from "Gitmo." Cote and Henriquez split the screen into quarters to show all three camera viewpoints simultaneously, with one corner left blank. The filmmakers often replace the empty portion with present-day footage of psychiatrists, ex-detainees, politicians, military personnel or relatives watching the archival tapes on laptops and commenting on the proceedings. The interrogation tapes make for difficult but revelatory viewing. Curiously, the poor image quality, which leaves Khadr's facial expressions barely visible, makes his body language particularly eloquent as he goes from joyous hope to utter despair over four days of grueling interrogation. Khadr initially assumes his Canadian countrymen have come to help him and will listen to his account with open minds; his grief and disillusionment know no bounds as their false bonhomie devolves into cajolery and outright threats, the true nature of their visit becoming clear. This final betrayal strikes a mortal blow to his belief in justice as he keeps repeating, "You don't like the truth." The docu makes no pretense of objectivity, giving voice to the side of the story ignored by Khadr's accusers. Khadr's military lawyer confesses to having his faith in American justice sharply undermined; Toronto Star reporter Michelle Shephard questions whether the boy, with three bullets in him and a face full of shrapnel, was physically capable of lobbing a grenade; and human-rights advocates note that as a child soldier under international law, Khadr was subject to protections that were blatantly ignored.Camera (color, HD), Cote, Patricio Henriquez; editor, Andrea Henriquez; sound (Dolby Digital), Richard Pelletier.

We've Seen the Glee Season 3 Premiere Here's Your Spoilerpalooza!

Glee Ryan Murphy's got a plan for Glee this year. It includes a full-time writing staff and a focus on stories over artist tributes. He even knows how it all ends for the McKinley High School seniors (though not all of the kids in New Directions are seniors.) "The season ends with the core group, with many of them graduating and figuring out what their futures are," Murphy told reporters Thursday after a screening of the Season 3 premiere. After acknowledging that he made the mistake of prematurely talking about which actors he thought about writing out after graduation - "I've learned my lesson! I'm never doing that again!" - Murphy said he's refocused. Fall Preview: Get scoop on your favorite returning shows "I have my passion for it back," he said. "Things took a bit of a nasty turn and now I feel great about it again." No word on who is coming or going, you'll just have to wait and see where things end up in the finale. And that spin-off you heard about is still on the shelf - and if resurrected, it might not be what you thought (originally, it centered on Rachel and Kurt making a go of it in NY.) "I don't know what it would be and I don't know who would be on it," Murphy said. But let's talk about this season already! Spoilers from the premiere and beyond... read at your own risk: Rachel will reunite with mom Shelby (Idina Menzel) - sorta. Shelby's got a new gig as a teacher at WMHS who arrives in Episode 2. Murphy said she'll be involved be a "juicy" story with Quinn (Dianna Agron)... who, by the way, has a whole new look and group of friends this year. (We know you've already seen the pink hair.) Not only will we be seeing Mike Chang's (Harry Shum) parents this season, we'll also be hearing him sing! That's right, not dance... sing! By the fourth episode, he'll have performed two numbers, Murphy said. Tina's not the only junior in New Directions. You'll find out who the other one is in the first couple minutes of the premiere. Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and Emma (Jayma Mays) are together. But they could be closer. A lot closer. Make of that what you will. Lauren Zizes (Ashley Fink) isn't gone. Yes, maybe she'll be in slightly fewer episodes, and yes, she does cut ties with the group - for now. In later episodes, Murphy said she "has a major story with Chris Colfer." So there you go. Quitting time. Zizes isn't the only one leaving the glee club, but there will be a new addition as well. Fall TV: Get the lowdown on this season's must-see new shows They mean it: No guest stars! It might seem like the show has been casting up a storm - between new student Sugar, Mercedes' boyfriend Bubba, Mike and Emma's parents - but these are minor roles that will be used "sparingly," Murphy said. Well... Gwyneth Paltrow, who just won an Emmy for her guest-starring role as Holly Holliday last weekend, could be back. Maybe. They mean it, Part 2: One tribute episode! If all goes according to plan, a special two-hour tribute episode will happen in the spring and it's an act they've been trying to license for a year and a half. Damian + Brittany? Damian McGinty, the Irish lad who co-won The Glee Project with Samuel Larsen, enters the picture in Episode 4 as a foreign exchange student who Murphy said is "shacking up with Brittany [Heather Morris]... she thinks he's a leprechaun with magical powers." Whether or not they're hooking up remains to be seen, but so far Murphy likes what he sees. McGinty's character is no hotshot sophomore either -- he's already been shoved into a locker 25 times. As for Samuel... he's more of a man's man. As in, he's going to be a relative of Puck (Mark Salling) - "which will be fun," Murphy said -- who arrives much in later in the season. Gallery: Which TV shows jumped the shark last season? One more Glee Project tidbit: There is a surprise guest from the show in the season premiere. And it's pretty amazing. Sorry, nothing else. Okay, one more tease: He or she will be the star of a rival choir in sectionals. Last thing: No plans for Cameron Mitchell on the show - at least this season. (He quit, people!) Tom Jones anyone? Mr. Vegas gets a nice nod in the premiere, but who and where one of his songs is sung may be a little unusual. Glee premieres Tuesday at 8/7c on Fox. What are you most looking forward to seeing? Or hearing? Sound off in the comments.

Carell, Hamm, Laurie: Emmy Bridesmaids Yet Again?

NEW YORK (AP) It's hard to picture TV stars such as Steve Carell, Jon Hamm and Hugh Laurie as perennial bridesmaids. But that's what they've been in recent years at Emmy time, as rival nominees hog the golden statuettes.Will any of the threesome shed his bridesmaid status this year? That question is on Emmy-watchers' minds as awards night draws near. (The big show airs Sunday at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox). Here's Carell, nominated as outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for his fifth and final year starring on "The Office" and already snubbed four years running. Here's Hamm, who has seen his series, "Mad Men," reap best-drama Emmys all three of its seasons while best-actor nominee Hamm got shut out. And up against Hamm, here's Hugh Laurie, a six-time nominee (and, up to now, annual washout) on the medical drama "House," about to start its last season.Mind you, there's no disgrace in a series star being stuck with a bridesmaid streak.Among actor nominees, the beloved Angela Lansbury wears the crown as all-time Emmy loser. She was rebuffed a dozen times for "Murder, She Wrote" and has lodged six more losses for other nominated TV performances.Fellow unanointed actors include five-time loser Jackie Gleason (even as Art Carney picked up six Emmys for his work with "the Great One"), and Andy Griffith, who was never nominated as Sheriff Andy Taylor, while his goofy sidekick, Don Knotts, raked in five trophies.And let's not forget (though Emmy judges long have) Bill Maher, who has yet to win an Emmy after 26 bids stretching back to 1995. His current series, "Real Time With Bill Maher," has earned him 11 nods: producing (six); writing (four); and hosting (one). "Real Time" is nominated again this year for best variety, music or comedy series but it faces "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," which has won the past eight years straight.Handicappers think Hamm has a good shot this year for best actor in a drama. One hopeful sign: Bryan Cranston, the actor who has made Hamm a bridesmaid by winning for "Breaking Bad" the past three years, is out of action this year. "Breaking Bad" didn't air in the qualifying period.Besides Laurie, Hamm is facing Steve Buscemi ("Boardwalk Empire"), Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), Kyle Chandler ("Friday Night Lights") and Timothy Olyphant ("Justified") none of them slouches. Still, you can't overstate the impact of an Emmy nemesis such as Cranston or his welcome absence.Recall how, in 1996, Candice Bergen withdrew from consideration as a nominee for her starring role in the sitcom "Murphy Brown." Having collected five Emmys by then, she said she wanted to give other actresses a chance. With Bergen out of contention, Helen Hunt won for "Mad About You" annually until its end four years later. For the three years before Bergen bowed out, Hunt had been a jilted nominee."I think it's finally Jon Hamm's time to win," says Tom O'Neil, editor of the award websites goldderby.com and theenvelope.com.Short of peeking inside the sealed envelopes, O'Neil may have the sharpest insight of anyone as to who the winners will be. So consider his analysis:First, "Mad Men" this year submitted a doozie of an episode to spotlight Hamm's range as 1960s ad man Don Draper. Among Emmy's actor categories, a jury considers just one sample episode per nominee, so it better be persuasive. (Angela Lansbury's "Murder" role as a writer-detective always put her in the service of each episode's crime-solving, while, in the process, denying her the sort of Emmy-worthy actorly scene she could have handled with ease.)O'Neil thinks this year "Mad Men" got it right by submitting the episode called "The Suitcase.""It's a big acting showcase for Hamm," says O'Neil. "He gets every emotion: He cries; he's drunk; he's confessional; he's humble; he's boisterous and bawdy."By contrast, Laurie could continue to suffer from a problem endemic to his role on "House": "He plays an unlikable character," says O'Neil. "You don't want to hug crusty, cranky Dr. House. I think that has backfired on Hugh Laurie."A similar problem may have plagued Steve Carell: Michael Scott, the paper-company branch manager he played on "The Office," is "creepy," O'Neil sums up.This year, Carell may have overcome that character deficit by submitting as his entry his farewell appearance on the series. That episode, O'Neil notes, "has a sense of history, and heart-tugging moments."Maybe so. But who can say if it's enough to make a bridesmaid a winner?Copyright 2011 Associated Press.

One Fall

A Paladin release of a Compass Entertainment, Marlen Hecht and Dean Silvers production. Produced by Silvers, Hecht. Executive producer, Richard K. Smucker. Co-producers, Julie S. Fuller, Marcus Dean Fuller. Directed by Marcus Dean Fuller. Written by Fuller, Richard Greenberg.With: Marcus Dean Fuller, Zoe McClellan, Seamus Mulcahy, James McCaffrey, Mark La Mura, Phyllis Somerville.Semi-studly episodic-TV and sometime soap opera player Marcus Dean Fuller directs, co-writes and stars in apparent vanity vehicle with supernatural overtones "One Fall." As surely as Bruce Willis' miraculous survival of a train wreck indicated an otherworldly constitution in M. Night Shyamalan's "Unbreakable," the fact that Fuller's character emerges unscathed from a 200-foot cliffside tumble pigeonholes him as mystically endowed. Clunky allegorical elements, however, remain unsatisfyingly ambiguous throughout the pic, which opens Sept. 9 in Los Angeles and a week later in Gotham. Returning to his hometown to work as a janitor at the hospital where his doctor brother (James McCaffrey) practices medicine and where his father (Mark La Mura) has nearly succumbed to a fatal illness, Fuller raises eyebrows when he seemingly cures a wheelchair-bound MS sufferer and revivifies a moribund old lady (Phyllis Somerville) to the point of friskiness simply by laying his hand on them. Alternately regarded as savior or pariah, Fuller receives the most sympathy from his ex-g.f., played by Zoe McClellan, and a superhero-obsessed high-school nerd (Seamus Mulcahy). Admirably cinephilic crane-shots, sudden reveals and subjective p.o.v. dream sequences unfortunately misplay the desired emphases.Camera (color, HD), Alice Brooks; editors, Marlen Hecht, William Henry; music, Ben Toth; production designer, Timothy Whidbee.

Graphic novelist brings 'Man' to Venice

For Italy's Gianni Pacinotti, whose "The Last Man on Earth" stands out as the single debut feature in the Venice competition, getting launched as a film director has been relatively easy.It was producer Domenico Procacci who approached the graphic novelist known as Gipi, who's well-known in Europe and also published, about having him direct a movie."Of course I could not refuse," he said. "It was my longtime dream; what I wanted to do as kid." The thing Gipi is eager to point out about "Last Man," which was well-received Thursday, is that it's not a sci-fi film but, ultimately, a love story that unfolds in a cynical and dehumanized future."In chosing to have a Martian invasion, what I wanted was a mystical, almost religious, event," he said.Unlike humans, "the Martians are able to distinguish good from evil, so their arrival is basically a sort of last judgment."And in creating those aliens, Gipi chose to make them very ordinary, with minimal special effects."I was totally disinterested in aliens or science fiction, so I didn't spend any time inventing anything new on this front."Interestingly, "Last Man" is not based on his own material, but on a book by fellow graphic novelist Giacomo Monti titled "Nessuno mi fara del male.""Procacci balked for about a second when I said I wanted to use someone else's rights," he said. "But then he said: O.K."The problem with his own material was that he was coming up with narratives that ended up being too autobiographical."Giacomo's book was a revelation for me," he said. "It seemed a perfect starting point. Of course, in writing the script I changed it."As for how it felt to get behind camera, Gipi was "terrified before starting." But on set, things went smoothly because he realized that his background on graphic novels meant that he had always thought in cinematic terms."In constructing scenes in my drawings, it was very realistic. I imagined locations and how I would place cameras and move characters around."What he wasn't prepared for, was being selected for competition. "Domenico called me and told me in a very detached, cold, tone," he said. "I went to take a shower and I broke out crying.""Last Man," which is being sold by Fandango Portobello, will be relased by RAI Cinema in Italy. Contact Nick Vivarelli at nvivarelli@gmail.com

London Film Festival Line-Up Announced

Clooney! Fiennes! Cronenberg! Clooney!The BFI London Film Festival is 55 years old, but even with bus-pass eligibility on the horizon, it's showing no signs of losing its vitality. The full line-up has been announced and includes 204 feature films, including new offerings by British directors of the calibre of Andrea Arnold, Steve McQueen, Michael Winterbottom, Lynne Ramsay and Terence Davies. There's also a UK bow for the much buzzed-about silent film The Artist, news that's pretty thrilling for anyone who witness the clamour that surrounded it at Cannes. Star-wise, George Clooney will be making the festival 27% more glamorous. He's scheduled to appear at gala screenings of his new political thriller, The Ides Of March, as well as Alexander Payne's The Descendants. He had a busy LFF a couple of years ago, what with Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Men Who Stare At Goats and Up In The Air, and it's more of the same for the Cloonster. There's a strong literary vibe, too. Michael Winterbottom's Tess Of The D'Urbervilles, Ralph Fiennes' directorial debut, Coriolanus, Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights and, er, Roland Emmerich's Shakespearean thriller Anonymous will have bookish types all a'quiver. Also likely to excite punters and critics alike are David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method, Ramsay's We Need To Talk About Kevin, and Steve 'No not that one' McQueen's Shame. The eagle-eyed among you will have spotted Michael Fassbender having a sexy crisis in there, not once, but twice. This will be pleasing to fans of that kind of thing. Other luminaries with films appearing are Roman Polanski (Carnage), Gus Van Sant (Restless), Werner Herzog (Into The Abyss), Todd Solondz (Dark Horse), and Jonathan Demme (I'm Carolyn Parker). Huzzah too for the Dardenne brothers, stars of Empire's Cannes blogs, whose latest, The Kid With The Bike, tells the moving tale of a baby goat who escapes from a feta factory to enter the Tour de France. Or something along those lines. We might need to check the synopsis. The LFF will boast enough starry faces to keep autograph hunters happy. Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law and Rachel Weisz will be there to usher the festival in on October 12 with an opening night screening of Fernando Meirelles' 360, while Terence Davies' The Deep Blue Sea brings the curtain down on proceedings on October 27. Click here for the 411 on 360 and co, and all the LFF details.
