6005890955.Pdf A Companion to Woody Allen Wiley-Blackwell Companions to Film Directors The Wiley-Blackwell Companions to Film Directors survey key directors whose work together constitutes what we refer to as the Hollywood and world cinema canons. Whether Haneke or Hitchcock, Bigelow or Bergmann, Capra or the Coen brothers, each volume, comprised of 25 or more newly commissioned essays written by leading experts, explores a canonical, contemporary and/or controver- sial auteur in a sophisticated, authoritative, and multidimensional capacity. Indi- vidual volumes interrogate any number of subjects – the director’s oeuvre; dominant themes, well-known, worthy, and underrated films; stars, collaborators, and key influences; reception, reputation, and above all, the director’s intellectual currency in the scholarly world.

  • Sweet and Lowdown“
    Bemerkungen zu „Sweet and Lowdown“ Erscheinungsjahr: 2002 Regisseur: Woody Allen Darsteller: Sean Penn, Samantha Morton, Uma Thurman, Antony LaPaglia Filmplakat zu „ Sweet and Lowdown“ Handlung:(Quelle: Spiegel, Arthaus Collection) „In einer fiktiven Künstlerbiografie lässt Woody Allen die goldene Jazz- und Swing- Ära aufleben und verbeugt sich vor dem legendären Gitarristen Django Reinhardt. Sean Penn und Samantha Morton wurden für ihre Darstellungen für den Oscar, den Golden Globe und die Empire Awards nominiert. Django Reinhardt (Gitarre) während eines Auftritts In den 30er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts gilt er nach Django Reinhardt als "der zweitbeste Gitarrist der Welt": Der Jazzmusiker Emmet Ray (Sean Penn), der sich mit Engagements in Nachtclubs über Wasser hält und seine Gagen ab und zu als Teilzeit-Zuhälter aufbessert. Sean Penn als Gitarrist Emmet Ray Der Legende nach ist er zweimal seinem Erzrivalen und heimlichen Gott Django Reinhardt begegnet - und jedes Mal in Ohnmacht gefallen. Neben der Musik interessieren ihn vor allem schnelle Autos, modische Kleidung und schöne Frauen. Alkoholexzesse, Spielschulden und Poolbillard prägen sein Leben. Doch wenn Emmet abends auf der Bühne zur Gitarre greift, sichert er sich jedes Mal von neuem einen Platz im Jazz-Olymp - wenn er es schafft, einigermaßen nüchtern und pünktlich zu erscheinen. Emmet Ray mit Band Als er die stumme Wäscherin Hattie (Samantha Morton) kennenlernt, scheint sein unstetes Leben für eine Weile zur Ruhe zu kommen. Doch Emmet ist viel zu sehr Egozentriker und selbstverliebter Künstler, als dass er sich ändern könnte. Emmet Ray mit Hattie Er verlässt Hattie und heiratet wenig später überraschend die glamouröse Blanche (Uma Thurman), eine halbseidene Möchtegern-Schriftstellerin.

  • Mere Anarchy? the Films and Short Stories of Woody Allen
    Mere Anarchy? The Films and Short Stories of Woody Allen Lecturer: PD Dr. Stefan L. Brandt, Guest Professor Basic information: Hauptseminar, 2 SWS, ECTS-Studium, ECTS-Credits: 7; application at KOS. Room and time: AR-K 122/123, Tuesdays, 16-18. First session: April 1, 2008. Modules: LCM-MA-M5.3 (Literatur-, Kultur-, und Mediensoziologie) ab 4; Medienkultur-MA-2.2 (Medienanalyse Ton Audiovision) ab 4; Medien und Gesellschaft-MA-2.2 (Medienanalyse Ton Audiovision) ab 4; M-PEB-Diplom-A3 (Medienanalyse AV) (ab 4); AmL-5 (Medien: Theorie, Geschichte, Praxis) ab 4; ENG-GHR-M5.2 (Texte und Medien) ab 4; ENG-GYM- M9a.8 (Textsorten und Medien) ab 4; ENG-BK-M6.1 (Texte und Medien) ab 4. Maximum number of participants: 50 Short description: »It's not that I'm afraid to die,« Woody Allen once told a journalist, »I just don't want to be there when it happens«. This statement, quizzical and absurd as usual, ties in with another aphorism, reportedly the first Allen joke to be published: »I am two with Nature.« Until this very day, Woody Allen is one of the most prolific and renowned artists that America has generated in the 20th century. Receiving his first Emmy Award for a script for the Ed Sullivan Show as early as 1957, Allen has since won four Oscars, the O. Henry Award for the best short story in 1977, as well as numerous other prizes in the U.S. and Europe. What makes Allen’s work, which encompasses comedies, dramas, expressionist films and acting roles as well as literary works, so unique and so influential? This course will deal with the central themes and motifs negotiated in Allen’s oeuvre – black humor, psychology, Jewishness, New York City, human relationships, and the absurdities of (post)modern life.

  • Manhattan Murder Mystery There Are Some Film Fans Who Felt Woodie
    Manhattan Murder Mystery There are some film fans who felt Woodie Allen lost his true comic essence somewhere in the late 1970’s--after Annie Hall and Manhattan--before he got wrapped up in more somber and philosophic moods. For these folks, his latest opus, Manhattan Murder Mystery, should fondly recall his “Pre-Mia” period. Besides the endearing dippiness of old sidekick Diane Keaton, this film features familiar Woodie one-liners, his patented kvetching, and a performance best described as the Return of the Nebbish. As one who has been an earnest, if not uncritical, devotee of Woodie Allen for 20 years and over just as many films, I would place Manhattan Murder Mystery in the middling range, the quality and count of the jokes not up to his best comedies of the 1970’s and the richness of character and incident not matching his best dramas from the 1980’s. Still, the landscape and the language of Allentown should be familiar and pleasurable to people who know the address. The novelty of this Allen effort may be the plot: there is one and rather elaborate one at that. This may be because, also for the first time in more than a decade, Allen has a co-screenwriter, the veteran Marshall Brickman. Instead of the usual fandango of “relationships” and the parrying of wary couples, Allen almost immediately introduces the first thread of the murder plot--an abrupt death--and develops it through the ever- more ornate imaginings of Keaton’s character. Book editor Larry Lipton (Allen) and his wife Carol (Keaton) have just met a middle-aged couple in their uptown apartment building, when they learn that the wife of the couple has died suddenly of a heart attack the very next day.

  • False Authenticity in the Films of Woody Allen
    False Authenticity in the Films of Woody Allen by Nicholas Vick November, 2012 Director of Thesis: Amanda Klein Major Department: English Woody Allen is an auteur who is deeply concerned with the visual presentation of his cityscapes. However, each city that Allen films is presented in such a glamorous light that the depiction of the cities is falsely authentic. That is, Allen's cityscapes are actually unrealistic recreations based on his nostalgia or stilted view of the city's culture. Allen's treatment of each city is similar to each other in that he strives to create a cinematic postcard for the viewer. However, differing themes and characteristics emerge to define Allen's optimistic visual approach. Allen's hometown of Manhattan is a place where artists, intellectuals, and writers can thrive. Paris denotes a sense of nostalgia and questions the power behind it. Allen's London is primarily concerned with class and the social imperative. Finally, Barcelona is a haven for physicality, bravado, and sex but also uncertainty for American travelers. Despite being in these picturesque and dynamic locations, happiness is rarely achieved for Allen's characters. So, regardless of Allen's dreamy and romanticized visual treatment of cityscapes and culture, Allen is a director who operates in a continuous state of contradiction because of the emotional unrest his characters suffer.

Over an eight month period, students in seven different counselor education courses were exposed to pedagogic film clip experiences in their classrooms. From this group of students drawn from two Midwestern universities, three rounds of face-to-face individual interviews and a focus group were conducted and forty participants described their classroom film experiences. Transcriptions of the interviews and focus group were used to gather data and to develop a constructivist grounded theory. Participants’ descriptions of their experiences and perceptions indicated that students engage in a complex experiential meaning-making process as a result of exposure to and discussion of their film experiences.

  • 2 Magic in the Moonlight
    Episode 2 - Magic in the Moonlight (2014) MUSIC - You Do Something To Me by Leo Reisman And His Orchestra Introduction MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT is the 44th film written and directed by Woody Allen, first released in 2014. It’s the 1920s and magician Stanley Crawford is asked by an old friend to help with a task. A rich family in the south of France is being swindled by a young clairvoyant. Stanley goes to investigate, but not everything is as it seems. Beautifully shot in the south of France, MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT is one of Allen’s light comedies with a deep heart. It’s an easy watch with all the lovely costumes and gorgeous back drop and charismatic movie stars. But there’s also a deeply philosophical point at the heart of it. And - I love this film. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages podcast, from me, the creator of the Woody Allen Pages website. This week, episode two, we look at 2014’s MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT. We’ll look at how this film came to be. What I loved and what I didn’t love. And then some fun trivia about the film. Of course, spoilers are everywhere. Conception and story Allen’s career is really on a roll in the early 2010s. He had some of his best reviewed and financially successful films in a decade or two with 2011’s MIDNIGHT IN PARIS and 2013’s BLUE JASMINE. It coincided with a decade- long period of Allen making films mainly in Europe, leaving his bubble of New York, and breathing new life into his work.
