Cinéma vérité (; , "truthful cinema") is a style of documentary filmmaking, combining naturalistic techniques with stylized cinematic devices of editing and camerawork, staged set-ups, and the use of the camera to provoke subjects. It is also known for taking a provocative stance toward its topics.

There are subtle yet important differences among these terms. Direct Cinema is largely concerned with the recording of events in which the subject and audience become unaware of the camera's presence. Operating within what Bill Nichols, an American historian and theoretician of documentary film, calls the "observational mode," direct cinema is essentially what is now called a fly on the wall documentary. Many therefore see a paradox created by drawing attention away from the reality of the camera and simultaneously declaring the discovery of a cinematic truth.

Background[link]

Cinéma vérité can involve stylized set-ups and the interaction between the filmmaker and the subject, even to the point of provocation. Some argue that the obvious presence of the filmmaker and camera was seen by most cinéma vérité filmmakers as the best way to reveal the truth in cinema. The camera is always acknowledged, for it performs the raw act of filming real objects, people, and events in a confrontational way. The filmmaker's intention was to represent the truth in what he or she was seeing as objectively as possible, freeing people from any deceptions in how those aspects of life were formerly presented to them. From this perspective, the filmmaker should be the catalyst of a situation. Few agree on the meanings of these terms, even the filmmakers whose films are being described.

Pierre Perrault sets situations up and then films them, for example in ''Pour la suite du monde'' (1963) where he asked old people to fish for whale. The result is not a documentary about whale fishing; it is about memory and lineage. In this sense cinéma vérité is concerned with anthropological cinema, and with the social and political implications of what is captured on film. How a filmmaker shoots a film, what is being filmed, what to do with what was filmed, and how that film will be presented to an audience, all were very important for filmmakers of the time.

In all cases, the ethical and aesthetic analysis of documentary form of the 1950s and '60s has to be linked with a critical look at post-war propaganda analysis. The best way to describe this type of cinema is probably to say that it is concerned with notions of truth and reality in film.

As Edgar Morin wrote: "There are two ways to conceive of the cinema of the Real: the first is to pretend that you can present reality to be seen; the second is to pose the problem of reality. In the same way, there were two ways to conceive cinéma vérité. The first was to pretend that you brought truth. The second was to pose the problem of truth."

Feminist documentary films of the 1970s often used cinéma-vérité techniques. Soon this sort of 'realism' was criticized for its deceptive pseudo-natural construction of reality. For example, in 1979 Michelle Citron released ''Daughter Rite'', a feminist pseudo-documentary which deconstructs the conventions of cinéma vérité.

Cinéma-vérité style films and television shows[link]

Many film directors of the 1960s and later adopted use of the handheld camera, techniques and cinéma vérité styles for their fiction films based on screenplays and actors. They often had actors use improvisation to try to get a more spontaneous quality to the takes. Influential examples include director John Cassavetes, who broke ground with his film ''Faces''.

The techniques of cinéma vérité were also readily adapted to use in TV fiction programs, such as ''Homicide: Life on the Street'', ''The X-Files''' ''COPS'' episode, ''Sanctuary'', ''Friday Night Lights'', ''NYPD Blue'', ''Hill Street Blues'', ''Battlestar Galactica'', ''The Thick Of It'', ''Curb Your Enthusiasm'', ''Lost'', ''Arrested Development'', ''Reno 911!'', ''Trailer Park Boys'', as well as both the UK and American versions of ''The Office''. Documentary series are less common, but include:

''An American Family''

''COPS''

''The Real World''

''Trauma: Life in the E.R.''

''American High''

''The First 48''

Diane Lane (born January 22, 1965) is an American film actress.

Born and raised in New York City, Lane made her screen debut at the age of 13 in George Roy Hill's 1979 film ''A Little Romance'', starring opposite Sir Laurence Olivier. Soon after, she was featured on the cover of ''Time'' magazine. She has since appeared in several notable films, including the 2002 film ''Unfaithful'', which earned her Academy Award, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.

Lane has been married to actor Josh Brolin since 2004. She was previously married to actor Christopher Lambert from 1988 to 1994.

Early life[link]

Lane was born in New York City. Her mother, Colleen Farrington, was a nightclub singer and ''Playboy'' centerfold (Miss October 1957), who was also known as "Colleen Price". Her father, Burton Eugene Lane, was a Manhattan drama coach who ran an acting workshop with John Cassavetes, worked as a cab driver, and later taught humanities at City College. When Lane was 13 months old, her parents split up. Her mother went to Mexico and obtained a divorce while retaining custody of her daughter until the child was six. Her father got custody of her after Farrington moved to Georgia. Lane and her father lived in a number of residential hotels in New York City and she would ride with him in his taxi.

When Lane was fifteen years old, she declared her independence from her father and ran away to Los Angeles for a week with actor and friend Christopher Atkins. Lane later remarked, "It was reckless behavior that comes from having too much independence too young." She returned to New York and moved in with a friend's family, paying them rent. In 1981, she enrolled in high school after taking correspondence courses. However, Lane's mother kidnapped her and took the teenager back to Georgia. Lane and her father challenged her mother in court and six weeks later she was back in New York. Lane did not speak to her mother for the subsequent three years, but they have since reconciled.

Career[link]

Early work[link]

Lane's maternal grandmother, Eleanor Scott, was a thrice-married Pentecostal preacher of the Apostolic denomination, and Lane was influenced by the theatrical quality of her grandmother's sermons. Lane began acting professionally at the age of six at the La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in New York, where she appeared in a production of ''Medea''. At 12 she had a role in Joseph Papp's production of ''The Cherry Orchard'' with Meryl Streep. Also at this time, Lane was enrolled in an accelerated program at Hunter College High School and was put on notice when her grades suffered from her busy schedule. At 13 years old, she turned down a role in ''Runaways'' on Broadway to make her feature film debut opposite Laurence Olivier in ''A Little Romance''. Lane won high praise from Olivier who declared her 'The New Grace Kelly'. At the same time Lane was featured on the cover of ''Time'', which declared her one of Hollywood's "Whiz Kids."

In the early 1980s, Lane made a successful transition from child actor to adult roles. Her breakout performances came with back-to-back adaptations of young adult novels by S. E. Hinton, adapted and directed by Francis Ford Coppola: ''The Outsiders'' in 1982 and ''Rumble Fish'' in 1983. Both films also featured memorable performances from a number of young male actors who would go on to become leading men in the next decade (as well as members of the so-called "Brat Pack"), including Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, C. Thomas Howell, Emilio Estevez, the late Patrick Swayze, Mickey Rourke, Nicolas Cage, and Matt Dillon. Lane's distinction among these heavily male casts advanced her career while affiliating her with this young generation of male actors. Andy Warhol proclaimed her, "the undisputed female lead of Hollywood's new rat pack."

However, the two films that could have catapulted her to star status, ''Streets of Fire'' (she turned down ''Splash'' and ''Risky Business'' for this film) and ''The Cotton Club'', were both commercial and critical failures, and her career languished as a result. After ''The Cotton Club'', Lane dropped out of the movie business and lived with her mother in Georgia. According to the actress, "I hadn't been close to my mom for a long time, so we had a lot of homework to do. We had to repair our relationship because I wanted my mother back".

Lane returned to acting to appear in ''The Big Town'' and ''Lady Beware'', but it was not until 1989's popular and critically acclaimed TV miniseries ''Lonesome Dove'' that Lane made another big impression on a sizable audience, and was nominated for an Emmy Award for her role. She was given positive reviews for her performance in the independent film ''My New Gun'', which was well received at the Cannes Film Festival. She went on to appear as actress Paulette Goddard in Sir Richard Attenborough's big-budget biopic of Charles Chaplin, 1992's ''Chaplin''. Lane won further praise for her role in 1999's ''A Walk on the Moon'', opposite Viggo Mortensen. One reviewer wrote, "Lane, after years in post-teenaged-career limbo, is meltingly effective." The film's director, Tony Goldwyn, described Lane as having "...this potentially volcanic sexuality that is in no way self-conscious or opportunistic." Lane earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Female Lead. At this time, she was interested in making a film about actress Jean Seberg in which she would play Seberg.

Recent work[link]

In 2000, Lane had a supporting role as Mark Wahlberg's love interest in ''The Perfect Storm.'' In 2002, she starred in ''Unfaithful,'' a drama film directed by Adrian Lyne and adapted from the French film ''The Unfaithful Wife.'' Lane played a housewife who indulges in an adulterous fling with a mysterious book dealer. The film featured several sex scenes. Lyne's repeated takes for these scenes were very demanding for the actors involved, especially for Lane, who had to be emotionally and physically fit for the duration. ''Unfaithful'' received mostly mixed to negative reviews, though Lane earned widespread praise for her performance. ''Entertainment Weekly'' critic Owen Gleiberman stated that "Lane, in the most urgent performance of her career, is a revelation. The play of lust, romance, degradation, and guilt on her face is the movie's real story." She followed that film up with ''Under the Tuscan Sun,'' based on the best-selling book by Frances Mayes.

In 2008, Lane reunited with Richard Gere for the romantic drama ''Nights in Rodanthe.'' It is the third film Gere and Lane filmed together. The film was based on the novel of the same title by Nicholas Sparks. Lane also co-starred in ''Jumper,'' and ''Untraceable'' in the same year. She then appeared in ''Killshot'' with Mickey Rourke, which was given a limited theatrical release before being released on DVD in 2009. While promoting ''Nights in Rodanthe,'' she expressed frustration with being typecast and stated that she was "gunning for something that's not so sympathetic. I need to be a bitch, and I need to be in a comedy. I've decided. No more Miss Nice Guy." The actress has even contemplated quitting acting and spending more time with her family if she is unable to get these kinds of roles. She said in an interview, "I can't do anything official. My agents won't let me. Between you and me, I don't have anything else coming out."

In 2010, Lane starred in ''Secretariat,'' a Disney film about the relationship between the 1973 Triple Crown-winning racehorse and his owner, Penny Chenery, whom Lane portrayed. In 2011, it was announced that Lane would play Martha Kent in Zack Snyder's Superman film, " Man of Steel," that will be released in theaters on June 14th, 2013. Snyder said of her casting, "We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination."

Awards[link]

Four days before the New York Film Critics Circle's vote in 2002, Lane was given a career tribute by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. A day before that, Lyne held a dinner for the actress at the Four Seasons Hotel. Critics and award voters were invited to both. She went on to win the National Society of Film Critics, the New York Film Critics Circle awards and was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Actress. In 2003, she was named ShoWest's 2003 Female Star of the Year, and was also a co-recipient of the Women in Film Crystal Award honoring outstanding women in entertainment.

Lane ranked at #79 on VH1's 100 Greatest Kid Stars. She was ranked #45 on AskMen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable Women in 2005, #85 in 2006 and #98 in 2007.

Personal life[link]

Marriages and family[link]

Lane met actor Christopher Lambert in Paris while promoting ''The Cotton Club'' in 1984. They had a brief affair and split up. They met again two years later in Rome to make a film together, entitled ''After the Rain'', and in two weeks they were a couple again. Lane and Lambert married in October 1988 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They had a daughter, Eleanor Jasmine Lambert (born September 5, 1993), and were divorced following a prolonged separation in 1994.

Lane became engaged to actor Josh Brolin in July 2003 and they were married on August 15, 2004. On December 20 of that year, she called police after an altercation with him, and he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. Lane declined to press charges, however, and the couple's spokesperson described the incident as a "misunderstanding."

Charity work[link]

Lane is also involved in several charities, including Heifer International, which focuses on world hunger, and Artists for Peace and Justice, a Hollywood organization that supports Haiti relief. However, she tries not to draw attention to her humanitarian efforts: "Sometimes I give with my heart. Sometimes I give financially, but there's something about [helping others] that I think ought to be anonymous. I don't want it to be a boastful thing."

Willam Belli (born June 30, 1982) is a film and television actor best known for his recurring role as transsexual Cherry Peck in ''Nip/Tuck''. He has been in numerous feature films films including American Wedding, Because I Said So, and The Watch. His television credits include Southland, My Name is Earl, Criminal Minds,CSI:NY, and Boston Public.

Television[link]

RuPaul's Drag Race[link]

Belli was a contestant on season 4 of ''RuPaul's Drag Race'' where he is featured as himself and as drag persona "Willam" and was disqualified in the "Frenemies" episode. No solid explanation was given during the original episode except that he "broke rules". Belli later explained in the season's reunion special, in an interview with RuPaul, that he was disqualified because: “My husband was coming to bang me out.” According to Willam, his husband was making "conjugal visits" to his hotel room while on the show. His Twitter page used the publicity of the mystery rule to advertise his ''"Chick-fil-A"'' video, a satirical music video that mocks the restaurant chain's strong anti-gay beliefs.

Music[link]

On 12 March 2012, he released his first single ''"Trouble"'', which is available for purchase via iTunes and other commercial music sites. Two remixes of the single were also released shortly after the single's debut.

On 18 March, 2012, Belli released his second single, ''"Chow Down"''. The song featured fellow drag queens Vicky Vox & Detox, with Arden Fisher on keys & guitar. The song is a parody of the song ''"Hold On"'' by American recording group Wilson Phillips. The song addresses the issue of the restaurant chain, Chick-fil-A, founded and operated by fundamentalist Christian ''"bigots"'', but tasting so good. To quote: "Chow Down at Chick-fil-A (even if you're gay).

On March 21, 2012 Belli released his third single, "The V****a Song". A parody of ''"Billionaire"'' a song by American rapper Travie McCoy featuring singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. The song's lyrics talks about wanting a vagina, because as a woman he could get away with things, the writer couldn't get away with as a man. In an interview he claimed that the song was inspired by transgender rights activist, Calpernia Addams. Addams got "into a club after they thought she was 86, and she grabbed her security guys arm" saying "'How dare you!?'". Willam asked Calpernia, "Oh, you can talk to people like that when you got a real snizz, huh?", to which she replied, "Yeah, yah know, I get away with stuff because I'm a woman." The video for the song made its' YouTube premiere on October 25, 2010.

Belli released "Love You Like a Big S*****g" on April 29, 2012. Produced by Uncle Slam, the song parodies ''"Love You Like a Love Song"'' by Selena Gomez & the Scene. Belli chose to do this song after losing a lip syncing contest to 7 year old Eden Wood live during a segment of the 2012 NewNowNext Awards as a tribute. The video debuted on YouTube on 30 April 2012 and features Shawn Morales of the ''RuPaul's Drag Race'' pit crew as one of the ''"Big Schlongers"''.

Belli was featured in Rihanna's music video ''"S&M;"'' along with past ''Drag Race'' contestant Morgan McMichaels as back-up dancers. The video was released on 1 January 2011.
