  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced info the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on untii complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • OLIVER TWIST, Turning Charles Dickens’ Timeless Adventure About an Orphan Boy Into a Thrilling and Humorous Tale of Good Fighting Evil
    Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Roman Polanski (“The Pianist”) brings his rich, imaginative cinematic vision to one of literature’s classic stories with OLIVER TWIST, turning Charles Dickens’ timeless adventure about an orphan boy into a thrilling and humorous tale of good fighting evil. From the wretched environs of a cruel workhouse system to the teeming streets of a newly industrialized London and its twin strata of poverty-ridden desperation and moneyed comfort, Dickens immortalized youthful peril and triumphant survival in his legendary novel. Along the way he gave us such memorable characters as the street gang leader Fagin, the fleet-footed pickpocket artist the Artful Dodger, the pompous Mr. Bumble, and the notorious criminal Bill Sykes. Now, one of the movies’ great visionaries, behind such pulsing masterworks as Rosemary’s Baby and Chinatown, offers up his version – the first feature adaptation in over 35 years – and the streets of 19th century London come alive in all their vividness, danger and unexpected goodness. After an extensive search, Polanski chose 11-year-old London schoolboy Barney Clark in the all-important title role. A student of The Anna Scher Theatre, a world-renown community theatre in Islington, London, Clark has previously appeared in the film The Lawless Heart, the British wartime television drama “Foyle’s War” and the television Court drama “The Brief”. With Ben Kingsley as Fagin, a host of talented British character actors have been cast to bring this Dickens classic to life: Jamie Foreman is Bill Sykes, Leanne Rowe is Nancy, Ian McNeice is Mr. Limbkins, Edward Hardwicke is Mr.

Shindo’s career as director and writer extended to 2010. He sadly passed away in May 2012 and this season will be the first world retrospective of Shindo’s work. The season will include screenings of Onibaba (1964) and Kuroneko (1968), still arguably Shindo’s best known films in the West. x The Vanishing Screenplay: Jean-Claude Carrière The season focuses on the career of Jean-Claude Carrière - a screenwriter, but also a novelist and essayist, cartoonist and sometime director and actor. His screenplays underpin some of the great international films of the late 20th century (Belle du Jour, 1967; The Tin Drum, 1979 and Cyrano de Bergerac, 1990). x Extended Run: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoise (Dir Luis Buñuel 1979) NEW PRINT 1-12 July Newly restored for its fortieth anniversary, this sly, slippery comedy of bourgeois manners remains one of the finest achievements of Luis Buñuel’s dazzlingly creative late period.

It recalls that Marlowe was an inventor of the English history play (Edward II) and of Ovidian narrative verse (Hero and Leander), as well as being author of such masterpieces of tragedy and lyric as Doctor Faustus and ‘The Passionate Shepherd to His Love’. Seventeen leading scholars provide accessible and authoritative chapters on Marlowe’s life, texts, style, politics, religion, and classicism. The volume also considers his literary and patronage relationships and his representations of sexuality and gender and of geography and identity; his presence in modern film and theatre; and finally his influence on subsequent writers. The Companion includes a chronology of Marlowe’s life, a note on reference works, and a reading list for each chapter. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521527341 - The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe Edited by Patrick Cheney Frontmatter More information Portrait (putative) of Christopher Marlowe.
