    2 3 4 5 Nadia Mladjao est née au sein d'une famille de dix enfants d'origine comorienne, d'un père pompier dans l'armée de l'air française, alors affecté à la base aérienne d'Istres. Engagée à l'âge de 17 ans par une agence de mannequins, elle part pour New York deux ans plus tard. C'est durant son séjour à New York qu'elle attrape « le virus de la musique » en écoutant Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution de Tracy Chapman, qui lui donne envie de tenter sa chance comme chanteuse. Elle commence à l'époque à prendre des cours de chant et à écrire des textes. Lassée de « faire le cintre », elle arrête sa carrière de mannequin et, après des rencontres infructueuses avec des producteurs aux États-Unis, rentre en France et débute en 2008 sur les scènes parisiennes. À l'occasion d'un passage au Sentier des Halles, elle fait la connaissance de Malik Ndiaye, déjà producteur d'Ayọ et Grace. Ayant choisi comme nom de scène Imany — signifiant « ma foi » ou « mon espoir » en arabe — elle écrit ses chansons en anglais, langue qui, pour l'écriture, lui vient « plus naturellement » que le français. Elle débute en faisant les premières parties d'artistes comme Angie Stone, Wasis Diop, Anthony Hamilton, Hocus Pocus, Sly Johnson et Ben l'Oncle Soul. En mai 2011 sort son premier album, The Shape of a Broken Heart, dont les ventes lui valent d'être certifié disque de platine, notamment grâce au succès de son premier single, You will never know.

She is spending her summer working as an acrobat with the cirque while her husband, Theo, is translating a biography of the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Late one night, Kay fears someone is following her home. Surprised to see that the lights of the toy shop are on and the door is open, she takes shelter inside. The next morning Theo wakes up to discover his wife is missing. Under police suspicion and frantic at her disappearance, he obsessively searches the streets of the Old City. Meanwhile, Kay has been transformed into a puppet, and is now a prisoner of the back room of the Quatre Mains, trapped with an odd assemblage of puppets from all over the world who can only come alive between the hours of midnight and dawn. The only way she can return to the human world is if Theo can find her and recognize her in her new form. So begins a dual odyssey: of a husband determined to findhis wife, and of a woman trapped in a magical world where her life is not her own.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.
