Imamura regular Kazuo Kitamura (Black Rain, Vengeance is Mine, The Insect Woman) dies at 80. Very sad, first rate actor.

Was there ever a more likable screen presence? He was the New Wave's Cary Grant.Arn777 wrote:Just heard the news on French radio that Jean-Claude Brialy passed away.

Someone posted about this in the A Women is a Woman thread last night, tragic loss. Guy was one of the greats.

Ivan Darvas, the star of Karoly Makk's Love, Weekend in Pest and Buda, Lilliomfi and about a million other Hungarian films, died just a few hours ago according to the news here. He'll be missed.

I'm very sad to hear this (and the news about Brialy). I'll have to finally watch Weekend In Pest and Buda as a small tribute.tavernier wrote:A great actor....big loss.skuhn8 wrote:Ivan Darvas, the star of Karoly Makk's Love, Weekend in Pest and Buda, Lilliomfi and about a million other Hungarian films, died just a few hours ago according to the news here.

RIP Sembene Ousmane
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/6738949.stm
One of the pioneers of African film-making - Senegalese writer Sembene Ousmane - has died after a long illness at the age of 84.
Ousmane is credited with making the first feature film by a director from sub-Saharan Africa, 'The black girl from....' in 1966.
His latest work, Moolaade, won awards at the Cannes and Ouagadougou festivals and he has won two prizes at Venice.
He was born in the Casamance region of Senegal and went to an Islamic school.
Later he fought for the Free French forces in World War II.
Before the publication of his first novel, The Black Docker, in 1956, he worked in a car plant in Paris and was a trade union activist.
He made a total of 10 films during his career.
Much of his work focused on the effects of colonialism and religion, as well as the rise of the African middle class.
He was also a co-founder of the biennial Pan-African festival of film and television of Ouagadougou (Fespaco).

That's sad news, but "Moolaade" was a great way to go out.

Really sad news. Sembene is one of my favorite filmmakers, a humanist whose talents and generosity reach so far past the niche title of 'African filmmaker' - he was a major talent, consistently underappreciated (his Camp de Thiaroye is maybe the great unheralded classic of the 1980s). It was good to see Moolaade hit a high watermark of international acclaim so recently.
