She said, “I cannot wait to showcase my passion for cinema at the global platform.” IANS CHANDIGARH | TUESDAY | 23 MAY 2023 Rich legacy Novelist and screenwriter, Martin Amis passed away in Florida on Friday. He was 73. Amis was battling oesophagal cancer. Born to a famous novelist, Sir Kingsley ‘Lucky Jim’ Amis took in his father’s footsteps and wrote his first novel, The Rachel Papers (1973), which won him Somerset Maugham Award the following year. He is best known for his novels Money (1984) and London Fields (1989), and for the memoir, Experience (2000). While his father won the Booker prize in 1986 for his novel The Old Devils, Amis was twice listed for the Booker but never won; first for Time’s Arrow in 1991 which also got shortlisted and later in 2003 for Yellow Dog. Many filmmakers/producers adapted his novels into films. In fact, film based on his novel The Zone of Interest by the same name was screened in Cannes Film Festival in 2023, a day before his death. The Jonathan Glazer film, a Holocaust drama, received a rapturous ovation at the Cannes calling Papers (1989), Dead Babies (2000), London Fields (2018) and Out of Blue (2018). While Rachel Papers was about a computer nerd who developed a methodical approach to seduce the girls he is interested in, Out of Blue was murder mystery based on his novel, Night Train. London Fields, on the other hand, was a neo-noir film starring Billy Bob Thornton as Samson Young, a terminally ill writer who has suffered from writer's block. — TNS Real to reel Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and her producing partner Justine Ciarrocchi touched down at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday to promote their label’s first-ever documentary feature Bread and Roses, a harrowing and emotional look at the lives of women in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. After two decades of JENNIFER LAWRENCE AND JUSTINE CIARROCCHI REUTERS THE CAST AND CREW OF THE ZONE OF INTEREST c m y b American occupation, the nation fell once again to the insurgent group, which moved quickly to strip women of basic rights — simple things like the ability to work, appear in public without a male chaperone and receive an education. “It all just collapsed in a matter of days,” Lawrence said. In the infancy of building their production company Excellent Cadaver, Lawrence and Ciarrocchi pursued Afghan filmmaker Sahra Mani (A Thousand Girls Like Me) to help capture the stories of the suppressed women on the ground. The finished film, which was received with tears at its world premiere on the Croisette, largely comprises video filmed by its three subjects. Crews could not safely enter Afghanistan, nor could Mani, who had been abroad working when the Taliban took over the country.
