I’ll leave the jokes about how Monsters, Inc 3D has a new eye-popping look to Billy Crystal and, instead, ask if you remember where your head was at in November 2001 when this Pixar classic was released. If you lived in New York City and had a young child (as I did), you were probably extremely grateful for Monsters, Inc. because, even if your kid was too young to grasp what had happened at Ground Zero, you were not. Sitting in the cool dark of a movie theater with my four-year-old and watching this funny film was a brief, welcome respite from the daily barrage of news reports about terrorists at our border, toxins in the air and the heavy layer of grief that blanketed the city. Monsters, Inc. made my kid laugh, and that made me laugh. And exhale. Monsters, Inc. 3D will be re-released on December 19. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
The premise sounds like an Ingmar Bergman film,. starring Liv Ullmann . On Oct. 1, the surviving member of the venerated on- and off-screen couple is slated to be in Manhattan on Oct. 1 to watch herself onscreen: at the U.S. premiere of writer and director Dheeraj Akolkar’s Liv and Ingmar at the 50th anniversary of the New York Film Festival . Told entirely from Ullmann’s point of view and shot at the house Bergman built for the Norwegian actress on the spot in Fårø, Sweden where he declared his love for her, Liv and Ingmar is billed as a “affectionate but truthful” account of the filmmaking couple’s 42-year relationship that spanned 12 movies and a five-year affair. The Swedish filmmaker was 47 when he met and fell for the 25-year-old Ullmann on the set of his landmark Persona in 1965. The auteur and the actress, who were both married at the time, ended up living together for five years, during which Ullmann gave birth to their daughter, Linn Ullmann in 1966. Their friendship and their working relationship continued until Bergman’s death in 2007. “Liv Ullmann and Ingmar Bergman are two legends and like any other film fan I have been in awe of their work for a long time,” Akolkar said in a statement. “But what propels me to make this film is what lies beneath their greatness — this universal and very real story of a man and a woman…[who were] lovers-friends-companions.” The director added: “This film is for everyone who has loved and lost and continued loving.” Liv and Ingmar also utilizes clips and behind-the-scenes footage from the films they made, still photographs, passages from Ullmann’s book Changing and Bergman’s personal letters to his muse.
