  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more. Enjoy. - Nick James, Editor. 1 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 2 Inland Empire (David Lynch) 3 Zodiac (David Fincher) = 4 I’m Not There (Todd Haynes) The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 6 Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas) = 7 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) No Country for Old Men (Ethan and Joel Coen) Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg) 1 Table of Contents – alphabetical by critic Gilbert Adair (Critic and author, UK)............................................................................................4 Kaleem Aftab (Critic, The Independent, UK)...............................................................................4 Geoff Andrew (Critic

  • What Ever Happened to In-Yer-Face Theatre?
    What Ever Happened to in-yer-face theatre? Aleks SIERZ (Theatre Critic and Visiting Research Fellow, Rose Bruford College) “I have one ambition – to write a book that will hold good for ten years afterwards.” Cyril Connolly, Enemies of Promise • Tuesday, 23 February 1999; Brixton, south London; morning. A Victorian terraced house in a road with no trees. Inside, a cloud of acrid dust rises from the ground floor. Two workmen are demolishing the wall that separates the dining room from the living room. They sweat; they curse; they sing; they laugh. The floor is covered in plaster, wooden slats, torn paper and lots of dust. Dust hangs in the air. Upstairs, Aleks is hiding from the disruption. He is sitting at his desk. His partner Lia is on a train, travelling across the city to deliver a lecture at the University of East London. Suddenly, the phone rings. It’s her. And she tells him that Sarah Kane is dead. She’s just seen the playwright’s photograph in the newspaper and read the story, straining to see over someone’s shoulder. Aleks immediately runs out, buys a newspaper, then phones playwright Mark Ravenhill, a friend of Kane’s. He gets in touch with Mel Kenyon, her agent. Yes, it’s true: Kane, who suffered from depression for much of her life, has committed suicide. She is just twenty-eight years old. Her celebrity status, her central role in the history of contemporary British theatre, is attested by the obituaries published by all the major newspapers. Aleks returns to his desk.

  • (On) Anton Chekhov Ben Dhooge Nabokov and 'Other Re
    On an Unhappy Marriage, Henry James, and Atoms: Vladimir Nabokov Reading (on) Anton Chekhov Ben Dhooge Nabokov’s lecture on Anton Chekhov stands out for its numerous citations from Korney Chukovsky’s 1947 article ‘Friend Chekhov.’ At the same time, however, the lecture contains many more references to other critics, as well – some of them explicit, though not necessarily clear, others more concealed. In an attempt to trace the sources Nabokov used when drafting his Chekhov lecture, the article offers a concrete view of Nabokov’s critical laboratory. Additionally, the article sheds light on his relation to other critics and critical movements, more specifically with respect to the competing ‘tendencies’ at work in the canonization of Chekhov’s oeuvre during the interwar period: Russian émigré, Soviet, and Anglo-American. Nabokov and ‘other readers’ In his Lectures on Russian Literature, Vladimir Nabokov emerges not only as a reader of literature as such – and, by extension, as a teacher of literature – but also as a reader of critical writings on literature. Nabokov frequently refers to other ‘readers’ in the broadest sense of the word, i.e. to critics (writers, literary critics, and scholars) as well as to the common reader who, unlike the former, does not take pen in hand. Sometimes Nabokov names, cites, or refers to specific ‘readers’ who commented on the writer whose work is central to the lecture in question. More often, however, Nabokov refers to reactions and opinions of ‘readers’ without specifying whom they exactly belong to. He lumps individual ‘readers’ together, giving them collective names such as ‘Russian readers and critics,’ ‘socially-minded Russian critics,’ or ‘Freudian-minded explorers.’ More importantly, the different opinions of other ‘readers’ which Nabokov includes in his lectures are meaningful elements in the structure of his argumentation.

  • Eugenie Pastor-Phd Thesis Moving Intimacies
    MOVING INTIMACIES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF “PHYSICAL THEATRES” IN FRANCE AND THE UNITED KINGDOM EUGÉNIE FLEUR PASTOR ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA AND THEATRE A Thesis submitted as a partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. August 2014 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Eugénie Fleur Pastor, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: 7 August 2014 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is an exploration of movement in contemporary “physical theatres”. I develop a renewed understanding of “physical theatres” as embodied framework to experience both spectatorship and theatre-making. I analyse how, in this type of performance, movement blurs distinctions between the intimate and the collective, the inside and the outside, thus challenging definitions of intimacy and tactility. The thesis consists of a comparative study of examples of “physical theatres”, in the 21st century, in France and in the UK. The comparison highlights that “physical theatres” practitioners are under-represented in France, a reason I attribute in part to a terminological absence in the French language. The four case studies range from itinerant company Escale and their athletic embodiment of a political ideal to Jean Lambert-wild’s theatre of “micro-movement”, from Told by an Idiot’s position in a traditional theatre context in the UK to my own work within Little Bulb Theatre, where physicality is virtuosic in its non- virtuosity. For each case study, I use a methodology that echoes this exploration of movement and reflects my position within each fieldwork.

A little touch of leadership, a bit of bracing tyranny!”: Barriers to Utopia in Howard Brenton’s Greenland Written and performed just after Margaret Thatcher’s third election victory in Britain in 1987, Howard Brenton’s final play in his Utopian trilogy, Greenland is an isolated example during this period of a Left playwright’s attempt to construct a utopian future on stage. The second act of Greenland partially resembles classical utopian fiction and in doing so, has led some commentators to dismiss the play as tedious, static and lacking in dramatic interest. The act’s absence of conflict, lack of historicism, and the contentment of its inhabitants have been cited as reasons for its alleged dullness. This interpretation to some extent concurs with the character, Severan-Severan, whose view is that misery and suffering are essential to the human condition and that liberation is a living death. However, this approach neglects a more complex engagement with utopia that is present in the play. Audiences – along with the non-utopian character, Joan – respond to Greenland in a way that can be illuminated by Frederic Jameson’s idea of the ‘terror of obliteration,’ an idea that considers our hostility to utopia to be based upon the inconceivability of altogether different notions of subjectivity available in utopia.
