FEDERICO MARÍN BELLÓN

Veinte años después de «Las amistades peligrosas», Michelle Pfeiffer, Stephen Frears y el guionista Christopher Hampton se reúnen de nuevo entre trajes de época y ambientes libertinos para rodar esta adaptación de la novela de Colette. Los admiradores de aquel título brillante, inteligente, arriesgado y, si se permite la herejía, sobrevalorado, podrían empezar a frotarse …

Las obras maestras del cine son irrepetibles. Aunque los artistas implicados en el intento de emulación sean los mismos, aunque el material previo que ejerce de guía tenga semejantes particularidades y subtextos. En 1988, Stephen Frears, como director, Christopher Hampton como guionista, y un grupo de grandes intérpretes —Glenn Close, Michelle Pfeiffer, John Malkovich…— partieron de una novela de finales del siglo XVIII …

STEPHEN FREARS | DIRECTOR DE «CHÉRI»
«En mi cine sólo veo los defectos»
La adaptación de la novela de Colette reúne de nuevo al realizador con Michelle Pfeiffer
Laura Seoane – Madrid

Podría parecer un «remake» de una de sus cintas más célebres, «Las amistades peligrosas», aunque el director británico sólo ve como «una casualidad» los parecidos con su nueva película de época, «Chéri», en la que recupera a una de sus musas en plena madurez, Michelle Pfeiffer.
- Las comparaciones con otros de sus filmes parecen inevitables. ¿Era su intención …

“Ver a mujeres con poder se ha vuelto más aceptable socialmente”
Michelle Pfeiffer, actriz protagonista de ‘Chéri’
GABRIEL LERMAN
Los Ángeles. Servicio especial

Después de un retorno tras una larga ausencia con papeles secundarios en Stardust y Hairspray, Michelle Pfeiffer vuelve a ser protagonista de la mano de Stephen Frears, el mismo que supo aprovechar cada centímetro de su extrema belleza y tierna delicadeza en Amistades peligrosas, por la que recibió la primera de sus tres nominaciones al Oscar. En su nuevo filme, Chéri, basado en la novela …

CHÉRI
DE STEPHEN FREARS CON MICHELLE PFEIFFER, RUPERT FRIEND, KATHY BATES TOBY KEBBELL
UNIDO-FRANCIA-ALEMANIA. 2009
Hace ya más de dos décadas que ya que el director Stephen Frears acarició la perfección con Las amistades peligrosas, un cínico juego de máscaras en torno al arte de la seducción, las bajas pasiones y la perversidad moral. Por ello, resulta casi imposible no acordarse de aquella obra maestra al visionar la más deslavazada Cheri, sobre todo cuando sabes que ambas películas comparten director, guionista y protagonista, la actriz Michelle Pfeiffer.
Frears regresa a …

CUADERNO CRÍTICO
Chéri
Stephen Frears
Reino Unido, Fr., Alem., 2009. Intérpretes: Michelle Pfeiffer, Frances Tomelty, Tom Burke, Rupert Friend. 92 min. Estreno: 29 de enero

En el último plano de su nueva película, Stephen Frears parece reabrir el elocuentemente lento fundido a negro con el que cerró Las amistades peligrosas (1988) para descubrir, como en aquella imagen cargada de patetismo de Glenn Close, otro poderoso primer plano de su protagonista (Michelle Pfeiffer) cara a cara con su propia decadencia. Sólo en ese instante logra Chéri acercarse al resplandor …

You can already read and download this huge bunch of magazines dated in 1982 and related to Grease 2 from several countries.
It is a part of my personal collection of stuff of Michelle Pfeiffer which I’ve been bought along the last 20 years.
This collection is for me my most valued asset and little by little I’ve been (and I am) sharing with you all. I’ve spent every one of savings to create this collection which is trying to grow day by day, and to share it, it needs time to …

The Spanish TV Channel TCM airs every Saturday its movie season of the “50 movies you must see before you die“, and tonight, it is dedicated to Dangerous Liaisons (1988) as one of them. It’s been edited this nice video with a review and information report about the Stephen Frears‘ movie (in Spanish).

Las amistades peligrosas
Las amistades peligrosas es la deliciosamente malvada historia de unos juegos de crueldad emocional a traves de manipulación sexual. Con un cast enteramente americano, el británico Stephen Frears orquestó una magnífica adaptación de la novela de …

You can read here some reviews of Chéri talking about the performance of Michelle Pfeiffer as Lea de Lonval. They have been taken from the net… some of them don’t like the movie, but almost all of them love the actress in the movie:
Kenneth Turan titles at the Chicago Tribune his review about Cheri “Period piece proves we’ve missed Pfeiffer“, and proves his love to Michelle:
“Michelle Pfeiffer is back, and her appearance in “Cheri” underlines not only how much she has been missed but also how much the world of …

American reviews of Chéri is coming, remember that the movie is arriving to USA and Canada this Friday. So new reviews talking about Michelle Pfeiffer is also coming… here this one from IndieWirew by Michael Koresky which raves with the performance of our Michelle!!

Cheri is ostensibly an examination of an aging Michelle Pfeiffer. A retired, past-her-prime courtesan in belle epoque Paris, Pfeiffer’s Lea de Lonval still wears her beauty well, yet the lines on her washed-out visage are difficult to ignore. There’s no doubt that Pfeiffer is brilliantly cast as …

These times that pfans are a bit sad and disappointment because the treatment of Personal Effects to be launched straight on DVD, Clint Morris from Moviehole defends Michelle Pfeiffer as “one of the best actresses working in Hollywood today” and writes that it seems one of the first positive reviews about the movie. His article “This time it’s Personal” raises his disagreement with the current movies-industry decisions to launch its projects where if “no monsters or Seth Rogen, then no, you’re going to direct to DVD…”
Read re whole interesting article …

I guess you should remember the sad article “Would You Dump This Woman?” in Entertainment Weekly a year ago —February of 2008— where it was reported about the launch straight to Dvd of I Could Never Be Your Woman and the problems along the post-production of the film.
Well, now, such as we all know, since the new launch (also) straight to DVD of Personal Effects the upcoming 12th of May in the US, Entertainment Weekly comes back to report about it in a (even a shamer) article:

Michelle Pfeiffer goes straight …

Nicolas from France sends us two new magazines referred to the release of Chéri, both added to Press Corner.
Point de vue (April 8, 2009) publishes an interview with Michelle Pfeiffer.

And Dimension Cinema (April 8, 2009) offers a sort review of the movie

Thanks Nicolas for the scans

The age of Pfeiffer is fascinating the critics : there’s here an exact meeting between a role and an actress, accordong the Premiere Magazine (French …
