One of the big regrets of 2010 will be not getting a chance to get out to the 2010 International Film Festival Rotterdam for its Kiju Yoshida retrospective of 7 films. What a solid lineup they have selected! I absolutely love this beautiful still from Eros + Massacre and am extremely proud to finally have an image from this film on Cinema is Dope!

Screening at the 2010 International Film Festival Rotterdam:
Sunday, January 31; Wednesday February 3
 
From IFFR Listing (more):
Yoshida’s masterpiece is a daring analysis of sex, politics, revolution and art in modern Japan that shifts back and forth between the 1910s and 1960s. Long and complex, but with inspiring content and enchanting cinematography. One of the highlights of Japanese post-war cinema.
 
7 films will be screened at IFFR this year as part of a retrospective on Kiju Yoshida. These titles include:
 
Coup d’etat
Eros + Massacre
Women in the Mirror, The
Affair at Akitsu, The
Story Written on Water, A
Eighteen Who Stirred up a Storm, The
Good for Nothing

Dshanya requested more from this film off the Cinema is Dope Facebook Fan Page and here an addition is (with more on the way this month)!
 
If you are a film festival programmers or looking to program this film for any type of event, I highly recommend the new digital restoration of it that I saw at Cannes in 2009. Further notes on it below.
 

Restoration Notes:
 
The restoration of Giu la testa is based on the original camera negative and on the magnetic soundtracks provided by the Sergio Leone Estate. This copy corresponds with the complete version of Sergio Leone’s approved edit from 1971. The Techniscope camera negative was scanned at 2k resolution and digitally restored; color correction was made using a positive print from 1971 as a reference.
 
The English soundtrack was restored from the original magnetic materials used for the monophonic mixing. The film was restored by Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in 2009, under the auspices of the Sergio Leone Estate.

I ended the last decade with a rare restored still from The Wild Bunch (here) and am kicking off this new decade with this perfect one to walk us into it. What new great cinema awaits? I have no idea but I’m greatly excited! To a new decade of cinema, I raise a toast and say bring it on… while also hoping for more original great works! To all the fans of the site, I hope I give you something that you enjoy as I continue to explore cinema here.

Goodbye 2009 and the decade of 2000! In the near distance now we have 2010 about to set with a new decade upon us. To close out this year and decade as such, here is an appropriate and rare behind the scenes still of the filming of Shootout at Bloody Porch with Warren Oates, William Holden and Ernest Borgnine.
