Many films have been made about American politics, but few have presented as thorough or gripping a look at it as this one, which — like the best of the lot, The Candidate (1972) — focuses on the struggle between idealism and pragmatism that inevitably occurs for candidates and their operatives over the course of a campaign. Adapted from the play Farragut North by the Oscar-nominated writing team of George Clooney and Grant Heslov (Good Night and Good Luck), and skillfully directed by Clooney, it focuses on the journey of a young but experienced political operative (Ryan Gosling) who believes he has finally found a candidate (Clooney) who embodies his highest ideals, and devotes himself entirely to the cause of helping him win the Democratic primary in order to compete in the general election. During a fling with a campaign intern (Evan Rachel Wood in a career-best performance), however, he learns that the candidate who seemed so unimpeachable (think Barack Obama) has, in fact, been keeping a dark secret (think Bill Clinton), which leads him to question — if only for a brief but irrevocable moment — his allegiance to the campaign. Consequently, he becomes caught between two dueling and deliciously Machiavellian campaign managers (Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti); must decide whether to stand by the candidate who betrayed his principles or to betray his own; and is, by the film's end, effectively transformed into an automaton (which, ironically, may be the only sort of person who actually can pass our political smell test in this day and age). The film would have been a bigger critical and commercial success had it premiered not in Venice, where its scandal pales in comparison to real ones, but rather stateside, where lingering puritanism causes us to still take such matters seriously.
Holden: Aria discovers Holden's real secret life, that he competes in a Korean form of martial arts, something his parents have forbidden him to take part in. Those pills? Oh, just some pain meds. But it's Aria's mother Ella who drops a bombshell: Holden actually has a heart condition (and he can die at any moment). Aria watches Holden take a beating during a matchup, but, he ultimately takes home the gold. True connection forming?
At THR's Stylists luncheon with Jimmy Choo, Eve wore a slinky brocade Chanel that appeared like a long jacket and a dress but was in fact one dress with buttons that stopped near the knees to give a two piece illusion. With her blond bob, it was the perfect buttercup hue. Not everyone can wear yellow! And it usually is not blondes.
As strange as it sounds, the demand for luxury is not abating — it's actually increasing. On Sunday, Donatella Versace presented her first couture show in eight years. Following Jean Paul Gaultier's spring 2012 couture collection — his muse was the late Amy Winehouse — revenues reportedly jumped 23 percent. Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel spring couture also elicited strong sales; the legendary designer will show his fall couture collection on Tuesday in the Grand Palais.
And while it is "of the moment" or "de la mode," as they say, this is Prada's answer to the Birkin — a new classic, large bag that can hold anything, day or night. It joins the ranks of the Birkin, the Balenciaga biker bag, an LV Speedy and the classic Chanel chainbag as a new icon, and will turn it for fall in new colors and textures, even studded and beaded.
The Dickhouse-produced Ridiculousness executive producers include Dyrdek, Jeff Tremaine, Shane Nickerson and Christian Duguay. MTV execs in charge are Lauren Dolgen, Michelle Klepper, Kristina Edwards and Sara Cohen.
