🎃 Dallas Buyers Club Hbo Go

Jean-Marc Vallée, the director of LGBTQ-inclusive films such as Dallas Buyers Club and and first season of the LGBTQ-beloved TV series Big Little Lies, has died at age 58. Vallée, a straight ally, was found dead Sunday at his cabin near Quebec City, The New York Times reports. The Montreal-born director’s body was discovered by friends who had come to visit him. No cause of death was reported. released in 2005, was a coming-of-age story about a gay man from a large family in Quebec, dealing with homophobia in the 1960s and ’70s. It won 11 Genie Awards — a Canadian film award — and was commercially successful. It also “catapulted Vallée into a role as a straight spokesperson for gay rights,” notes The Islands’ Sounder, a publication based in Washington State. That role continued with 2013’s Dallas Buyers Club, which was well-received and won three Oscars but was also criticized for some of its portrayals. It told the fact-based story of Ron Woodroof, an ostensibly straight man who, after contracting HIV in the 1980s, organized distribution of unapproved drugs to others with HIV. It depicted Woodroof overcoming homophobia and transphobia, and Matthew McConaughey won the Best Actor Oscar for portraying him. Jared Leto won Best Supporting Actor for playing Rayon, a transgender woman with HIV who becomes Woodroof’s friend. Rayon was a fictional character, and the film was critiqued for not only casting a cisgender man as a trans woman but for having its primary trans character be a sex worker. “Some people are displeased that Rayon, in particular, is just another trans sex worker role; another trans addict; another ‘mystical adviser/comic relief,’” Calpernia Addams, a trans actress and coach who advised Leto, wrote in an Advocate commentary. “And another role where the trans person is punished in the end. Those are indeed overrepresented portrayals, and there should be more balance — soon! But I have known people like Rayon. She is not a made-up grab bag of random hateful attributes. She’s a portrayal of an uncomfortable segment of the trans experience that a few TLGB folks would rather be erased rather than discussed.” But Parker Marie Molloy wrote in another Advocate commentary, “There isn’t anything wrong with ‘the Rayons of the world.’ What is wrong is that transgender individuals — specifically transgender women — are almost always portrayed as this particular type of trans woman.” Leto said trans young people inspired him as he played the role, but he also drew criticism for defending his right to play Rayon, noting that gay and lesbian actors portray straight characters. Molloy pointed out that trans actors have little opportunity to play anything but trans roles. Longtime AIDS activist Peter Staley, a gay man who recently published the memoir Never Silent: ACT UP and My Life in Activism, recounts that there were other problems in the original script for Dallas Buyers Club. He advised Vallée and his screenwriters, Craig Borten and Melissa Wallack, on deleting misleading information about AIDS and its treatments. Staley has disputed that Woodroof was straight or homophobic, and acknowledged the problem of a cis man portraying Rayon, but he praised the film overall. “Jean-Marc Vallée deserves all the credit,” Staley notes in a Vanity Fair excerpt from his book. “I put the man through hell and back, but he kept the promise he’d once emailed me: that in all his films, he tries to ‘capture humanity and reveal the beauty behind it.’” Vallée went on to direct Wild, starring Reese Witherspoon as author Cheryl Strayed, who had written about her real-life solo hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. Witherspoon was Oscar-nominated for the film. Witherspoon was also part of Big Little Lies, a popular HBO series about a group of wealthy California women who are rivals in many ways but come together to defend one of their number against an abusive husband. “It’s safe to say that the series stands alone in dismantling the harmful trope that women don’t support each other,” Tracy E. Gilchrist wrote in The Advocate in 2017, at the end of the first season. In addition to Witherspoon, the cast included Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz, and Alexander Skarsgård. A 2018 series for HBO, Sharp Objects, starred Amy Adams as a reporter investigating the murders of two young girls in her small Missouri hometown. “It’s true that my last projects were featuring mainly female characters,” Vallée said in an HBO interview in 2018. “So am I the lucky guy? Maybe — maybe I am. I’m not afraid of intelligent, strong women. You got to create a space where they’re going to feel respected and comfortable.” Vallée is survived by two sons and three siblings.

‘Dallas Buyers Club' (id, Jean-Marc Vallée, 2013) fue una de las triunfadoras en la pasada ceremonia de los Oscars, al alzarse con tres estatuillas, una de esas consideradas menores al mejor maquillaje —cuyo presupuesto en el film fue de 250 dólares— y dos correspondientes a las interpretaciones masculinas, principal y secundaria, a Matthew MaConaughey y Jared Leto, respectivamente Jean-Marc Vallee was nearly ready to give up filmmaking before a 2005 project turned the tides on his career, a colleague recalled days after the Quebecois director and producer died. Vallee, who went on to direct a string of high-profile films and series after his breakout “ - winning an Emmy for the hit HBO series “Big Little Lies” and multiple nominations for the 2013 drama “Dallas Buyers Club” - died suddenly in his cabin outside Quebec City over the weekend, his representative Bumble Ward said Sunday. He was 58. Canadian producer Pierre Even, who worked with Vallee on a pair of projects including “ said the “difficult shoot” of the 2005 film had the filmmaker wondering if he'd ever make another movie. “We didn't have enough money, we were struggling to do everything we needed to do and Jean-Marc was saying: 'Pierre, you don't understand, this is going to be my last film,” Even said Monday in a phone interview from Montreal. “And I was telling him: 'I don't know if ' is going to be good or not â€¦ but I'm sure of one thing - you're going to make other films.” Vallee wrote, directed and co-produced the coming-of-age Quebec drama about a young gay man dealing with homophobia in the 1960s and '70s. The movie, which earned $6 million in box office revenue in Quebec alone, was Vallee's first feature film to be both written and directed by him. Even said Vallee, who had dreamt of creating the project for years, put “tremendous” pressure on himself to make it work. When they saw the reception of the film's premiere in Montreal, Even said they knew they had made “something special.” “It was always a film about somebody that feels different and wants to fit in, and that's a universal theme. But we were surprised how much the audience took the film and (it) became their story,” Even said. “During the premiere â€¦ we had people coming out of the theatre in tears saying 'that's my life.”' Even said Vallee was already a successful director in Canadian film circles, but “ made him a global name as it screened at other festivals. He said agents and production companies in Los Angeles were soon calling Vallee, wanting to meet him and discuss potential projects. “I think it made people realize not only was he a good director but he could tell a story that people would want to see and that would catch audiences all over the world,” Even said. Vallee, acclaimed for his naturalistic approach to filmmaking, directed stars including Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal over the past decade. He directed Emily Blunt in 2009's “The Young Victoria” and became an even more sought-after name in Hollywood after “Dallas Buyers Club,” featuring Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, earned six Academy Awards nominations, including best picture. Producing partner Nathan Ross said in a statement that Vallee “stood for creativity, authenticity and trying things differently.” “He was a true artist and a generous, loving guy. Everyone who worked with him couldn't help but see the talent and vision he possessed,” the statement said. “He was a friend, creative partner and an older brother to me. “The maestro will sorely be missed but it comforts knowing his beautiful style and impactful work he shared with the world will live on.” Vallee was born in Montreal and studied filmmaking at the College Ahuntsic and the Universite du Quebec a Montreal. He received the Directors Guild of America Award and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing in 2017 for the HBO Limited Series “Big Little Lies,” which he also executive produced. The series won eight Emmys and four Golden Globes in total. He also directed and executive produced the HBO limited series “Sharp Objects” which was nominated for eight Emmys. HBO called Vallee a “brilliant, fiercely dedicated filmmaker,” in a statement. “A truly phenomenal talent who infused every scene with a deeply visceral, emotional truth,” the statement said. “He was also a hugely caring man who invested his whole self alongside every actor he directed.” Even said Vallee demanded much from those who worked with him, but he was also very loyal, often bringing in Quebecois crews to work on other projects. He also edited many of his projects back home in Montreal, building a state-of-the-art editing suite in his home. “He was so passionate,” Even said, adding that Vallee's crews needed to work hard to achieve his vision. “But even if he's asking for the moon, let's get him the moon because we know it's going to be great.” Gavin Fernandes, a sound mixer in Montreal who worked with Vallee on a number of projects including “Dallas Buyers Club” and “Big Little Lies,” said the filmmaker was “on another level of film-making.” Fernandes admired Vallee's ear for music, which often led to him spending large amounts of his budget on securing music rights for his films rather than rely on original scores. Vallee was “hands on” in his editing approach, Fernandes recalled, and while the crew didn't always agree with some of his decisions in the moment, they always seemed to work out in the end. “There were times we'd literally sit back and say 'are we sure about this?' and he'd say 'trust me,”' Fernandes said. “And the show came out and the reviews came in, and inevitably, the thing we doubted turned out to be a really cool thing.” Celebrities took to social media to honour Vallee on Monday. Canadian actor Jay Baruchel said on Twitter that Vallee was “a profoundly gifted artist whose passions and efforts have advanced the medium of cinema.” Witherspoon posted a photo of herself and Vallee on Instagram with the caption: “My heart is broken. My friend. I love you.” Leto also shared a photo of him and Vallee on the app, crediting him with changing his life “with a beautiful movie called Dallas Buyers Club.” Vallee is survived by his sons, Alex and Emile, and siblings Marie-Josee Vallee, Stephane Tousignant and Gerald Vallee. Even said Vallee's impact on Canadian cinema will continue to be felt for years. “Jean-Marc had such a personal way of filming that it's not something you can copy,” he said. “There's only one Jean-Marc Vallee and when you watch 'Big Little Lies' or 'Sharp Objects' or ' or 'Cafe de Flore' or 'Wild,' you're going to see it's a Jean-Marc Vallee movie. “And that quality of filmmaking â€¦ it's so rare and so precious.” - With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 27, 2021.

Given recent, unhappy Dallas Buyers Club is a movie I’ve wanted to see for a while, ever since the press started talking about Matthew McConaughey’s dramatic weight loss for the role. I was definitely not disappointed! Dallas Buyers Club (from Fandango) Director: Jean-Marc Vallée Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, and Jared Leto Runtime: 1 hour, 57 minutes Plot Summary: (from IMdB) Dallas 1985. Electrician and sometimes rodeo bull rider Ron Woodroof lives hard, which includes heavy smoking, drinking, drug use (primarily cocaine) and casual sex. He is a stereotypical redneck: racist and homophobic. While in the hospital on a work related injury, the doctors discover and inform him that he is HIV+, and that he will most-likely die within thirty days. Ron is initially in angry denial that he would have a disease that only “faggots” have, but upon quick reflection comes to the realization that the diagnosis is probably true. He begins to read whatever research is available about the disease, which at this time seems to be most effectively treated by the drug AZT. AZT, however, is only in the clinical trials stage within the US. Incredulous that he, as a dying man, cannot pay for any drug which may save or at least prolong his life, he goes searching for it by whatever means possible. It eventually leads him to Mexico and a “Dr.” Vass, an American physician whose license was revoked in the US because of his AIDS related work against US regulations. Dr. Vass leads Ron to a cocktail of other drugs, some vitamins, he believes are more effective in treating the symptoms, since the virus, as Ron learns, will always be in the system of those who have been exposed to it. Ron begins to smuggle these drugs not approved by the FDA into the US, not only for his own use but for sale to other HIV+ persons. In this venture, he goes into an unlikely partnership with a HIV+ transvestite named Rayon, who he met in the hospital and who has greater contact with AIDS patients through the gay community. As they try to work both above ground to get the meds to those that need them and underground to avoid detection by especially the FDA, Ron comes up with an idea to circumvent the fact of selling the drugs – which are not considered drugs yet since they are not FDA approved – directly to the HIV+ population, which then should should not be against the law. Richard Barkley and Dr. Sevard, the FDA’s lead man on the file and one of Ron’s doctors respectively, the latter who sees clinical trials as the only way to determine the efficacy of drugs despite the fact that Ron and others would have probably died already without these drugs, try to stop Ron and Rayon at every turn. Caught in the middle is Dr. Eve Saks, another of Ron’s doctors, who understands why policies are place, but who can sympathize with Ron, Rayon and others – all her patients, directly or indirectly – in their situation. Rating: Theater I would categorize this as one of the top ten movies I’ve seen, ever. Matthew McConaughey’s portrayal of Ron is heartbreakingly real and throughout this movie he makes you feel is fear, his frustration, and his vulnerability. I was equally in awe of Jared Leto’s portray of Rayon, who is amazingly confident in who he is, but heartbreakingly delicate. This movie just makes you feel. I had no idea that “buyers clubs” existed and can’t even imagine the desperation these people must feel when there are drugs available to save their lives yet they’re out of reach. If I had a vote for Best Picture in this year’s Oscars, this would easily be my pick. Definitely get to the theater to see this one! It’s already on Demand with Dish (not sure about other providers), so you can watch it at home as well! Ratings Explanation: Theater: This means the movie is awesome. Go see this movie in the theater – well worth the $100 you’ll spend for a night out to see it on the big screen! On Demand: Since no one actually rents movies anymore, this category has changed to On Demand. This means it’s a great movie, but it is as good at home as it is in the theater and worth seeing a little sooner. TV: This means the movie is ok. Wait for it to show up on HBO and see it for free. Skip It: Movie sucks, don’t waste your time. Dallas Buyers Club. Matthew McConaughey Jennifer Garner Jared Leto.

Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof in "Dallas Buyers Club." The actor lost 40 pounds to play the role of a Texas redneck who became an unlikely AIDS activist in the late 1980s. Matthew McConaughey is barely recognizable as Ron Woodroof, an electrician/womanizer who ends up finding out he's contracted HIV/AIDS and has 30 days left to live. After searching deeper for information on a relatively unknown disease (at the time), he finds out that there is existing medication that is not yet approved in the that could help him survive after running into red tape when trying to obtain medication, he decides to smuggle massive amounts of pharmaceutical products and starts selling them to other HIV/AIDS infected patients, creating the "Dallas Buyers Club".First of all, what a film. Jean-Marc VallÃ©e's " was quite something to watch, but "Dallas Buyers Club" is a tremendous achievement. VallÃ©e's directing is stellar, the script is top notch, and features a palette of characters that makes this story truly engaging and illness, lust, being incapable of receiving proper treatment, smuggling, death, friendship, the limitations of the legal system, these are all themes that would lead one to think that this film is a depressing drama. It is not. And that's where the success of "Dallas Buyers Club" lies. All these themes would make the perfect recipe for a melodrama, wrap it up in a small package with a big star (McConaughey), and put the "Based on a true Story" stamp. But it's so much, much more."Dallas Buyers Club" avoids all the traps of melodrama by being whole-heartedly hilarious at times, with just the proper dose of raw emotion, and performances that will be remembered for ages. Half-way through the film, my friends and I looked at each other, in a bit of disbelief, unanimously agreeing that McConaughey deserves an Oscar for this. Jared Leto is also wonderful as Rayon, an AIDS-infected transvestite patient that will become a great friend and business partner, and that will trigger Woodroof's change of vision towards homosexuality. And it is not drastic. It comes in all kinds of subtleties and heart-warming moments. Hats off to Jennifer Garner as well, she is ever offering a heavy-hearted tone, this is a story of perseverance and positivity with an interesting setting that sheds some light on an often forgotten page of history. Engaging social drama, well-written comedy, and wonderful cinematic experience altogether. Looking to watch Dallas Buyers Club?

Stretches where it seems not only that they are everywhere, but everywhere they are is good. Ryan Gosling had one of those not long ago, when he was in Blue Valentine, Ides of March, Crazy Stupid Love and Drive. Three of those were in the same year, and it still galls me that he didn’t get an Oscar nomination for right now, Matthew McConaughey is on one of those runs. His output since 2012 has included Magic Mike, a movie he pretty much took over; the acclaimed Mud; the marvelous HBO series True Detective; and two Oscar-nominated movies, The Wolf of Wall Street and Dallas Buyers Club. He is nominated for the best-actor Oscar for the latter film and has to be considered the favorite right now, since he has been nabbing other prizes for the performance, including a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild award. At the same time, co-star Jared Leto is on track to a best supporting actor Oscar, having also won earlier honors for his work in Dallas Buyers two actors alone should be enough reason to check out Buyers when it arrives Tuesday (Universal, $ DVD, $ Blu-ray/DVD/digital combo). They are both terrific. But they are also giving their best in service of an excellent movie, whose six nominations also include ones for best picture and original screenplay. And that should encourage you even more to see Buyers Club stars McConaughey as Ron Woodroof, a rambunctious and reckless electrician and occasional rodeo rider who learns in 1985 that he has HIV. Determined to fight the virus and the likely onset of AIDS, he begins questioning what is passing for treatment and demanding other the FDA is refusing to authorize some of the alternatives, Woodroof goes to Mexico and smuggles drugs into the He also learns of other people seeking medical assistance — like the transsexual Rayon (Leto). And, with Rayon, he sets up a “buyers club” which skirts laws against selling unapproved drugs by selling memberships in the club, then giving the drugs to movie is many things at once: an examination of discrimination against people with HIV and AIDS, an attack on government obstinacy, a couple of gripping character portraits (both Ron and Rayon are complicated people) and a movie about change and redemption, specifically as Ron’s attitudes about people in the LGBT community change. In some respects, Dallas Buyers Club is a companion to Schindler’s List in its presentation of a man who finds a way to help some people even as a larger horror is going on around yes, McConaughey is Oscar-worthy. He lost close to 40 pounds to play the ailing Ron, but there’s a performance to go with the physical change. He is never over the top, even when another actor might have seen a chance for scenery-chewing. Leto, meanwhile, has been known mainly for a career mixing music (as part of 30 Seconds To Mars) with acting (perhaps most famously on TV’s My So-Called Life); here he shows how very skilled his acting include deleted scenes and “A Look Inside Dallas Buyers Club.”Down video road: Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on Feb. 18; this is the season with the stunning “The Rains of Castamere” episode.
