VIDEO: Documentarian Nick Broomfield Gets Kicked Out of a Palin Q&A in Teaser for Sarah Palin - You Betcha
Controversial documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield has taken on many a challenging subject throughout his oeuvre of muckraking exposes. Now he’s turned his confrontational, self-reflexive gaze on former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin and her rise through the political ranks, in Sarah Palin - You Betcha! Needless to say, this should be the anti-Undefeated. Hit the jump to see what happens when Broomfield dares to challenge Palin during a public Q&A session in California. Broomfield’s doc will get its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival this September alongside new works from Werner Herzog, Morgan Spurlock, and Frederick Wiseman. The film’s synopsis, courtesy of TIFF: “Nick Broomfield’s quest for the real Sarah Palin involves battling the icy snows of Alaska in mid-winter to speak to the school friends, family, and Republican colleagues that in previous days gave their heart, soul and belief to the charismatic, charming, intoxicating ex-hockey mom. But it’s not all plain sailing. People are frightened to talk; Wasilla makes Twin Peaks look like a walk in the park. It’s a devout evangelical community - 76 churches with a population of only 6 thousand, and the Crystal meth capital of Alaska. Broomfield brings his celebrated wit and determination to cracking her story.” You Betcha sounds like a seedy, polar-opposite document of Palin’s rise to prominence from the fawning conservative doc The Undefeated, so color me curious. With Broomfield’s languid British accent to point out every semi-shady aspect of Palin’s world, and his proven inclination toward thrusting himself into the film if only to provoke and poke around for the truth, it’ll probably be much more entertaining, besides. But here’s the catch: Broomfield’s not necessarily the documentarian you want on your side in a political fight, if only because his reputation and his methods make him an easy target for criticism. He is, after all, the filmmaker who alleged on film that Kurt Cobain’s death was a murder arranged by Courtney Love (in Kurt and Courtney) and made a fascinating, if speculative documentary investigating conspiracy theories surrounding the unsolved murders of Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace and Tupac Shakur (Biggie & Tupac). Still: If there’s any documentarian out there who’d take it to Palin like no filmmaker yet has, it’s Broomfield. Release date is TBA.

Milocrorze
An Ishibashi, d-privileges, Kazumo production. Created by Masataka Izumi, Toshiharu Ozawa, Hiroaki Saito. Directed, written, edited by Yoshimasa Ishibashi.With: Takayuki Yamada, Maiko, Anna Ishibashi, Seijun Suzuki, Mieko Harada, Eiji Okuda, Maiko.Helmer Yoshimasa Ishibashi, enfant terrible of advertisements and episodic television, here fully bursts into features with "Milocrorze," a splashy, vivid, time- and space-repel romp that loosely ties together three extremely disparate tales which include several layers of dissonance and discordancy. Pic is featured at two overlapping Gotham fests that focus on such genre-confounding fantasy fare, becoming opener in the N.Y. Asian Film Festival and focal point of Japan Cuts. Ishibashi's apparently little-seen first feature, black-and-whitened "Kurawasetaino," apparently was equally off-the-wall that one will certainly carve a distinct segment among vid-enthusiasts who love the bizarre. The very first (and least) from the segments, recounted just like a fractured story book, concerns Ovreneli Vreneligare, a 7-year-old salaryman whose diminutive stature and vibrant orange bowl-cut hair distinguish him from the ocean of grey-garbed fellow-individuals. Experiencing an attractive lady, the "great Milocrorze," (performed through the mono-monikered Maiko) on the park bench, he instantly falls smitten, assumes three jobs to pay for a huge home, and moves along with her in a condition of simplistic bliss -- until a time-appropriate problem intervenes. Second up, Besson Kumagai (Takayuki Yamada) counsels teenage boys within the cycle of unrequited love. Introduced like a guest on the tawdry TV-show, he disses his gushy host and dangles on phone callers. Brash, surly and contemptuous, he goodies his clients as "wimps" and worse, while meting out dubious, chauvinistic or frankly absurd advice. Clothed inside a dazzling whitened suit, between scantily clad women, he not just flouts rules of decorum but additionally violates physical laws and regulations, crossing within the film's split-screen lines or entering the telephone booth of the individual he's speaking to. Part 3 features the pic's piece p resistance, a stylized 12-minute samurai sword fight that crashes with the sliding sections of the endless, delicious bordello, delivering drinks, bloodstream and ladies flying full of slo-mo because the hero slashes his way from area to area looking for his lost love. When the second story conflates space, this third story of 1-eyed samurai Tamon (Yamada again) constitutes a hash of your time, flashing back from medieval Japan "3 years formerly" to the current-day where Tamon meets his soulmate Yuri (Anna Ishibashi). After Yuri is kidnapped, Tamon wanders the roads, his garb growing a lot more ancient until he makes its way into the lawless feudal pleasure town of Tenzaku-Ro inside a red-colored kimono, and also the action tour-p-pressure commences. Using versatile rising star Yamada in most three love-crazed tales (he seems like a grown-up Ovreneli Vreneligare within the film's coda) produces a cockeyed continuum. However the film's true constant is based on its flamboyant Pop-art aesthetic, wild chromatic stylization and cartoon-like manipulation of narrative.Camera (color), Katsuharu Oyamada music, Yuko Ikoma, Kosuke Shimizu, Osamu Kubota production designer, Ishibashi art director, Matsuka Kimura visual designers Koichi Emura, Aki Funabiki action coordinator, Fumihito Minamitsuji. Examined in the Japan Society, This summer 10, 2011. (Also in N.Y. Asian Film Festival, opener.) Running time: 90 MIN. Contact the range newsroom at news@variety.com

Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and
Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the
first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of
friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some
new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the
process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war
between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN.
