Showtime has picked up a feature length documentary about iconic British band New Order. Mike Christie (“Hansa Studios: By The Wall 1976-90″) produced and directed “New Order: Decades.” It follows the group’s preparations as they re-stage their collaboration “So It Goes” with the artist Liam Gillick and a 12-piece synthesizer orchestra during the Manchester International Festival.
The filmmakers had full access to the band and their collaborators in the making of the doc. Comcast’s Sky in the U.K. originally commissioned the two-hour film for Sky Arts. It bowed on the channel in September.

Mubi is showing Joanna Hogg's Unrelated (2007) from January 13 - February 12 and her Exhibition (2013) from January 14 - February 13 in the United States.ExhibitionJoanna Hogg’s films, including Unrelated and Exhibition, can at least partly be viewed in the tradition of British realist films: for example, with their long, static takes, casting of non-professional actors in addition to professional ones, or discarding the classicist narrative structure in favor of a more open-ended, episodic organization. However, instead of a narrative focus on the domestic situations of the working class, Hogg’s films focus exclusively on the emotional life of the social and economical elites; while her work could perhaps be said to be linked to Mike Leigh formally, thematically it has more in common with the alienated bourgeois of Michelangelo Antonioni. In her films, especially Unrelated and Exhibition, she explores the (sometimes self-imposed) constraints of the life of upper-class women; but though...

There was an intimate pre-party event last night at the Wright — the Liam Gillick–bedecked restaurant at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum — during which select members of the media were given advance word on the winner of the 2014 Hugo Boss Prize. The catch? “The news of the winner is confidential for another 56 minutes,” explained Guggenheim director Richard Armstrong. None of the invited press were allowed to divulge the name of the honoree until the official announcement was made, as it would be nearly an hour later to the assembled crowd, including Kehinde Wiley, Emma Sulkowicz, Margot Robbie, Kate Bosworth, and Neville Wakefield, and other expensive-looking people milling around the central rotunda.To the journalists in the restaurant, the candor seemed strangely obviated by the temporary vow of silence they’d imposed on their audience. What, precisely, was the point of telling anybody if they weren’t supposed to tell anybody else?...

A married couple live in a fantastic house in London designed by late architect James Melvin. Their relationship to each other and to the building, their work as artists and how it relates to their bodies are exposed by Joanna Hogg in Exhibition.
Liam Gillick and I continue our conversation with an examination of a crisis in representation, the influence of Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray, and how Valie Export and early Marina Abramovic informed Viv Albertine's portrait of the artist D. Ed Rutherford's cinematography, Liam's future in acting and the meaning of bare feet are also explored.

Joanna Hogg's H in Exhibition, Liam Gillick, with Anne-Katrin Titze at Dolce & Gabbana: "Before the film happened, I've been thinking a lot about the problem of cinema. That's when the phone rang."
I met up for coffee with the man who plays H in Joanna Hogg's Exhibition, to talk about his work as a first time actor, Cary Grant improvising for Leo McCarey with Irene Dunne in The Awful Truth, Alain Delon with Maurice Ronet interpreting Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley in Purple Noon, and his newfound appreciation for the Grudge Match antics between Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone. Liam Gillick talked parallel lives, what cinema means to contemporary artists, and how it felt to become material. Robert Bresson and Hermann Hesse were assigned as homework by Hogg to prepare him for his role opposite Viv Albertine's D in Exhibition.

Exhibition
Written & Directed by Joanna Hogg
UK, 2013
Exhibition is a collection of moments that add up to something if the viewer is prepared to do the math. Plots, character arcs and narrative considerations are nowhere to be found in this art house offering from writer-director, Joanna Hogg. It’s an immersive visual experience, but its objectives remain tantalizingly out of reach. Challenging and uncompromising, this film is not for everyone. For cinephiles who enjoy the heavy lifting, however, there’s just enough weight to warrant the workout.
At its heart, Exhibition is a love triangle between two married artists and their modernist house. The husband, H (Liam Gillick), knows that it’s time to leave, but his wife, D (Viviane Albertine), is reluctant to accept the truth. We spend most of our time with D, quietly peering over her tightened shoulders. She’s a struggling performance artist who mixes sexuality...

Somewhere in England’s capital, a pair of married, middle-aged artists spend their days seeking creative inspiration inside their modernist home, a vertical palace of cold minimalism in which D (Viv Albertine) and her husband H (Liam Gillick) communicate largely via interhouse telecom. Though she appears bored, he’s too blind in his artistic and domestic contentment to notice, too concerned with his own work to see that his marriage has reached a stalemate. She finds more satisfaction in onanism, which she keeps secret from her pretentious, passively domineering husband, who removes the clothes from his wife during their alone time, as she dutifully lays on their bed, primed for a joyless fuck.
The idea that a setting is its own “character” is bandied around all too often, but in Exhibition the setting is as integral as the script – the house’s unique spiral staircases and sliding doors couldn’t be removed from the story,...

Walking to the castle in Unrelated: "Anna wears that looks like a maternity dress. It belonged to Kathryn Worth's mother."
In part 2 of our conversation Joanna Hogg and I discuss the influence of Roberto Rossellini's Stromboli on Archipelago, how Edith Head would not have come upon Tom Hiddleston and Kathryn Worth's capes in Unrelated, the many roles Viv Albertine and Liam Gillick have in Exhibition, A Nos Amours starting with Chantal Akerman, Catherine Deneuve in Jacques Demy's Donkey Skin, and games people play.
Anne-Katrin Titze: Unrelated, Archipelago, Exhibition, each have totally distinct concepts about costumes.
Joanna Hogg: It's so much about the different stories. With Unrelated, there is a dress that Anna wears that looks like a maternity dress. It belonged to Kathryn Worth's mother. Stéphane [Collonge] and myself were looking at what Kathryn has of her own clothes that might fit into the story.

A three-story modern house is just as much a character in Joanna Hogg's Exhibition as a married artist couple (played by non actors Viv Albertine, of the punk rock band Slits, and artist Liam Gillick) who inhibit it. Equipped with floor to ceiling glass windows, a small lift, a spiral staircase, curtains and dividing screens, the building possesses strong sense of utilitarianism. The childless, middle aged couple have their own work spaces and talk to each other through intercoms whenever they need each other's company. He is a successful architect and she seems to be an artist who is still looking for her voice. At the moment, she is obsessed with recreating Ecstasy of St. Teresa with her own image. For hours on end, she poses...

If you’re in New York or Los Angeles this weekend, run don’t walk to James Ward Byrkit’s dizzying metaphysical horror film “Coherence,” or Roman Polanski’s elegant pas-de-deux “Venus in Fur.” But think twice before heading to Clint Eastwood’s 1960s musical biopic “Jersey Boys,” meeting a mixed critical response, or Paul Haggis’ awful collage of interlocking soap operas “Third Person,” currently crashing with reviewers.
On the indie side of the spectrum, you can catch Brit Joanna Hogg’s “Exhibition,” starring Tom Hiddleston, which Indiewire says has shades of Michael Haneke by way of Miranda July; Filipino helmer Lav Diaz’s latest multi-hour epic, “Norte, The End of History,” will hold court at NY’s Lincoln Center after a long festival tour dating back to Cannes 2013, where “Venus in Fur” also bowed; and Jan Troell’s austere WWII-era psychodrama “The Last Sentence” hits select markets too.

★★★★★A man (H) and a woman (D) live together in a modernist house in London designed by the architect James Melvin in director Joanna Hogg's Exhibition (2013). Both are artists, though the specifics of their particular media are for the most part ambiguous, and they work and cohabit within a space defined by sliding doors, large windows and a central, spiral staircase. When H, played by the conceptual artist Liam Gillick, decides their 20 years within the house should come to an end - a decision met with trepidation by D (Viv Albertine) - what follows is a tautly realised exploration of space - that between lifelong companions, between work and home, interior and exterior and public and private life.

Less subtle and enigmatic than opaque and off-putting, Exhibition details the disconnection felt by married artists know only as D (Viviane Albertine) and H (Liam Gillick) after they decide to sell their modernist London house.
Despite that being the nominal plot point around which the rest of writer-director Joanna Hogg's film revolves, it's as cursorily handled as the rest of the couple's supposedly thorny issues.
Those problems are never explicitly articulated but rather suggested in scene after scene of the two meeting with a realtor (Tom Hiddleston) and awkwardly communicating over intercom (primarily so H can ask D to come upstairs for sex), as well as ones in which D puts on high heels and douses herself in oil before masturbating in bed, or strips in fro...

Joanna Hogg's "Exhibition" closes with a dedication to architect James Melvin, an appropriate coda whether or not viewers recognize the name. Hogg's third feature magnifies the relationship between people and the spaces they live in with a keen eye for the way the two tend to blend together. At its center, middle aged couple H (conceptual artist Liam Gillick) and performance artist D (Viv Albertine, former guitarist for British punk band The Slits) prepare to move out of their spacious London home and cope with the impact of the move on every facet of their daily life. While H enjoys a high profile career in the art world, D struggles with a slew of identity crises brought on by the move. Hogg explores her character's confusions by turning the home into a physical manifestation of her mindset. The movie develops a hypnotic appeal through a succession of fragmentary moments: D,...

Joanna Hogg's latest distinctive exercise in the cinema of middle-class unease finds two artists trapped in a modernist house that has become the third person in their emptily overcrowded marriage. Former Slits guitarist Viv Albertine is D, wrestling with the contortions of performance art by a voyeuristically shuttered window, while her husband H (artist Liam Gillick) pootles away on his computer screens in the room above.

First-time actors Viv Albertine (former guitarist from punk band The Slits) and conceptual artist Liam Gillick play D and H, a couple of artists who work from home. However, the impending sale of their bolthole (by bland estate agent Tom Hiddlestone) throws their relationship into anxious freefall.

In September 2012, Joanna Hogg was about to make her third film. Later it would be called Exhibition; its working title was the London Project. There was a budget, location, a story about a married couple in crisis. It just didn't have the couple. Ten days before shooting, Hogg had no actor for either role.
Bright-eyed and well spoken, she remembers it vividly. "I was getting desperate. I was at the point of approaching people in the street."

Bright-eyed and well spoken, she remembers it vividly. "I was getting desperate. I was at the point of approaching people in the street."

The artist and 2002 Turner Prize nominee Liam Gillick was in Spain when he received an email from a casting agent. His first thought was that someone wanted to use his artworks in a film. “I wanted to set them straight,” he recalls. “I was going to give them a lecture about how it was fake, that it’s not a commodity or something. So I called and this very nice lady asked if I could come to London, explaining about Joanna Hogg and whatnot. Oddly enough, I’d seen her films. And I don’t normally watch anything.”...

Viv Albertine in Exhibition. "She was very honest in her approach. It's a balance where it's not her and where she puts herself into it" Exhibition is writer/director Joanna Hogg's third feature and she shows no signs of tiring in exploring themes of female sexuality and upper middle-class frostiness that marked out her earlier films Unrelated and Archipelago. This time, her focus is a middle-aged couple D and H (played by former punk band singer Viv Albertine and conceptual artist Liam Gillick) and the fractures that begin to show in their relationship once they decide to move from the designer house they live in, in London.
Hogg introduced the film and took part in a lively Q&A about it at Bradford International Film Festival last week. Speaking about the origins of the film, she explained how she came to know the architect who built it - James Melvin.

D (Viv Albertine) and H (Liam Gillick) reside inside a James Melvin designed modernist house in west London. They have lived in this house together for over 18 years, but have presumably been a couple for longer than that. They are both visual artists who work at home, and they rarely leave the house. The house has become a part of them, like a child that they never had -- or, maybe they have become a part of the house. With all of the clinking, clunking and banging that is inherent within a structure that was designed more for exhibition than for habitation, the house is essentially a living and breathing organism. This unique home is the framework in which this couple's narrative almost entirely exists.

★★★★☆ Distinctive British filmmaker Joanna Hogg returns to London after holidaying in Tuscany (2007's Unrelated) and the Isle of Sicily (2010's Archipelago) with Exhibition (2013), a methodically constructed portrait of bourgeois self-loathing and middle-class paranoia told through an artistic couple whose lives have slowly begun to emulate their art. Hogg takes an intimate and supercilious perspective towards the couple, known only as D (Viv Albertine) and H (Liam Gillick), whose lives are about to be thrown into disarray by the sale of their home of 18 years - a monument to modernist architecture.
Both working from home with offices on different floors, D and H communicate primarily through a telecom whenever they wish to discuss their evening plans or arrange a quick fumble. Their relationship has hit a stumbling block, seemingly held together by the nostalgic memories that permeate the walls of their stylish abode. However, with sexual frustration, incapacitated creativity and social...

Considering there is an influx of British dramas focusing in on the working class, be that from a cockney gangster perspective, or the more contemporary urban productions., aside from Richard Curtis’ contrived, fluffy take on middle class sensibilities, there is a gap in the market for a more naturalistic portrayal of such a life in London, and it’s a gap being filled by ambitious filmmaker Joanna Hogg, following on her preceding endeavour Archipelago, with her latest drama Exhibition.
We delve intimately into the relationship between two modern artists D (Viv Albertine) and H (Liam Gillick) who find themselves asking questions of their marriage, as the imminent selling of their house works as a catalyst to expose some of the unhealthy aspects of their relationship, as the idea of sex, at times, seems almost repellent – while their conversations seem without conviction or depth. Both working from home, it seems they...

British filmmaker Joanna Hogg, along with Mexico's Fernando Eimbcke, has been chosen for Fslc's The Emerging Artists Program, part of this year's New York Film Festival. They are playing all three feature films by her, the latest being Exhibition. Having recently discovered her films and impressed by her talent in portraying human (dis)connections related to specific environments, I was eagerly awaiting her new film. Complex yet subtle, innovative yet basic, it's absolutely one of the best films I've seen at the festival.A three-story modern house is just as much a character in Joanna Hogg's Exhibition as a married artist couple (played by non actors - Viv Albertine of the punk rock band Slits and artist Liam Gillick) who inhibit it. Equipped with floor to ceiling...

Tfe’s coverage of the 51st New York Film Festival (Sep 27-Oct 14) continues with Glenn discussing Exhibition.
I’ve seen a lot of weird stuff go on in cinemas in the last five years or so. As more and more people stop going to the movies as often and instead rely on home entertainment for their flick fix, so too has the home entertainment has found its way into the cinema. Texting, talking, obnoxiously loud eating practices… they’re all so common place these days that it’s no wonder people are staying home. This, of course, is nothing new. However, today at a the New York Film Festival screening of the education documentary American Promise a man pulled out his laptop. His Laptop!

Fresh from triumph on the festival circuit, a host of exciting British films is set for release. We talk to the directors behind this sudden renaissance
At Cannes, in May, there was anxious talk. Of the 70-plus features showcased at the film festival only two of them were British. Did it signal a decline in the UK industry? By the end of 2013, would our film people be wringing their hands while cinemagoers queued up for American fare and the House of Lords unhappily convened a select committee?
Without a doubt, the pair of British films on show at Cannes were excellent – Clio Barnard's The Selfish Giant and Paul Wright's For Those in Peril – both bruising, powerful dramas. But French and American and Mexican and Chinese and Cambodian film-makers left Cannes with the top prizes; meanwhile fans and boosters of British cinema travelled back across the Channel in mild panic.

Joanna Hogg's "Exhibition" closes with a dedication to architect James Melvin, an appropriate coda whether or not viewers recognize the name. Hogg's third feature magnifies the relationship between people and the spaces they live in with a keen eye for the way the two tend to blend together. At its center, middle aged couple H (conceptual artist Liam Gillick) and performance artist D (Viv Albertine, former guitarist for British punk band The Slits) prepare to move out of their spacious London home and cope with the impact of the move on every facet of their daily life. While H enjoys a high profile career in the art world, D struggles with a slew of identity crises brought on by the move. Hogg explores her character's confusions by turning the home into a physical manifestation of her mindset. The movie develops a hypnotic appeal through a succession of fragmentary moments: D,...

The third film from British director Joanna Hogg, which premiered at the Locarno film festival today, is a brilliantly chilly portrait of a couple, a home, and an unspoken horror
In the space of two films, the 53-year-old British writer-director Joanna Hogg has already carved out a distinctive niche for herself. Her 2007 debut, Unrelated, winner of the Guardian First Film award, documented forensically the seething tensions among the middle-class holidaying in Italy. Its follow-up, Archipelago (which counts Martin Scorsese among its fans), documented forensically the seething tensions among the middle-class holidaying in the Scilly Isles. But her new film, Exhibition, is a bold departure: no one goes on holiday. (Maybe they should. It might help.)
The picture takes place almost entirely in an exquisite modernist house in west London designed by, and formerly home to, the late architect James Melvin (to whom Exhibition is dedicated). Two artists, listed in the...

British-produced rom-com added to festival along with new film from Archipelago director Joanna Hogg
UK film-makers Richard Curtis and Joanna Hogg have joined the line-up for the 66th edition of the Locarno international film festival, held in the lakeside Swiss city.
The Balthasar Kormákur action comedy 2 Guns, starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg had already been announced as the opening film, as well as a retrospective of golden-age Hollywood director George Cukor.
Curtis' new time-travel romantic comedy About Time, starring Domnhall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams has been invited to screen in the 8000-seat outdoor Piazza Grande venue, alongside the award-winning Chilean film Gloria, and the much-admired Us indie Blue Ruin, fresh from the Director's Fortnight at Cannes.

The programme for the 66th Locarno Film Festival has been unveiled and was compiled with “diversity” in mind, according to new artistic director Carlo Chatrian.
“The only categorical imperative was to work with diversity, take it to extremes,” said Chatrian.
“For years, the festival’s policy has been to position its mission of discovery within a programme that includes mainstream cinema, but only of the kind that, despite its high production values, is not just pure spectacle, the kind that doesn’t see entertainment and intelligence as incompatible.”
As previously announced, the Swiss festival will open at the open-air Piazza Grande on August 7 with the international premiere of 2 Guns, the action film starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington as cops, directed by Baltasar Kormakur (The Deep).

#69. Joanna Hogg’s Untitled London project
Gist: The as yet untitled third feature from Joanna Hogg is described as the everyday intersection between horrendous and comic events, and not much yet is known concerning the plot details. Hogg’s comments indicate another examination of uncomfortable situations such as seen in her 2010 film, Archipelago, but perhaps with even more bite this time around.
Prediction: Hogg reunites with her muse, Tom Hiddleston, who she cast in her 2007 debut, Unrelated (which also happened to be his theatrical feature debut) and Archipelago. He’s a supporting player here, to two intriguing leads, Viv Albertine (one time guitarist for the Slits) and British conceptual artist Liam Gillick. We’re predicting Un Certain Regard for this project.

Lars von Trier's avowedly hardcore film The Nymphomaniac has released its first image – but does it really whet appetites for what has promised to be one of the most controversial films ever?
Ever since it was first mentioned – breathily no doubt – back in 2011, Lars von Trier's The Nymphomaniac has attracted near-continual eye-goggling. First it was the suggestion of hardcore content, then the participation of non-shrinking violet Charlotte Gainsbourg, then the Shia Laboeuf sex tape... what on earth, we all wondered, will this film look like? And now we know, sort of, after the release of the first "official image".
To be honest, as a taster for what has been coming on like the most sleazy, shocking, out-there film ever committed to celluloid, this picture – a muddy-looking image of someone (presumably Gainsbourg) prone in an alleyway – is just a tiny bit disappointing. Yes, we know The Nymphomaniac is about...

Not long before Tom Hiddleston became a crush object to fan girls around the world for his performance as the petulant yet strangely sexy Loki of Thor and The Avengers, the English actor made his movie debut in writer-director Joanna Hogg's debut feature Unrelated. The film won praise in the United Kingdom, and the two reteamed for her follow-up, the 2010's family drama Archipelago. But even though he has since become a Marvel icon and scored memorable appearances in the Academy Award-nominated drama War Horse and the Academy Award-winning comedy Midnight In Paris, Hiddleston is eager to return to the lesser-known filmmaker who gave him his first break. THR reports Hiddleston has signed on to star in Hogg's untitled "London Project" along with conceptual artist Liam Gillick and Viv Albertine, guitarist of the all-female punk band The Slits. Speaking about her third film, Hogg said: "I continue to be...
