    Programme du 12 octobre au 8 novembre 2016 Ta’ang, un peuple en exil entre Chine et Birmanie de Wang Bing 3 Édito 26 4 Prochainement à l’affiche À l’affiche Infos pratiques du cinéma et du restaurant 23 15 Horaires des séances Événements Jeune Public 18 Événements SOMMAIRE | 2 | TITRE DE FILM Nous avons l’honneur de recevoir ces prochaines semaines deux très grands cinéastes, très singuliers, à peu près seuls à travailler les territoires qu’ils occupent. Deux cinéastes très différents qui sortent chacun un nouveau film, Wang Bing : Ta’Ang, un peuple en exil entre Chine et Birmanie, et Albert Serra : La Mort de Louis XIV. Wang Bing a suivi l’exode d’une ethnie birmane persécutée sur la frontière chaotique chinoise. Comme souvent Deux cinéastes, dans ses films, Wang Bing dessine ici une géographie ethnographique. Hommes deux territoires et femmes composent sous leurs pas et très singuliers dans leur fuite un paysage furtif. Nous profitons de cette sortie pour vous proposer, dans les prochaines semaines, de découvrir son œuvre à travers une rétrospective. Albert Serra filme l’agonie du roi Louis XIV, à qui le comédien Jean-Pierre Léaud, qui fut à partir des 400 coups l’alter-ego de François Truffaut, prête ses traits. Dans une chambre, de nombreux scientifiques inquiets défilent devant le monarque. De cette cour impuissante à sauver le roi, on pressent la fin d’une croyance, une illusion perdue, une foi en la modernité. Belles séances à tous ! L’équipe du Café des images À L’AFFICHEEDITO | 3 | 3 | À L’OUEST DES RAILS Wang Bing a filmé de 1999 à 2001 la lente agonie des usines et des hommes dans l’effondrement final d’un système obsolète.

  • Sculpting Women from Pygmalion to Vertigo to the Skin I Live In
    1 This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Quarterly Review of Film and Video Sculpting Women from Pygmalion to Vertigo to The Skin I Live in They would be displeased to have anybody call them docile, yet in a way they are . They submit themselves to manly behavior with all its risks and cruelties, its complicated burdens and deliberate frauds. Its rules, which in some cases you benefited from, as a woman, and then some that you didn’t. -“Too Much Happiness”, Alice Munro (294) One day I'll grow up, I'll be a beautiful woman. One day I'll grow up, I'll be a beautiful girl. But for today I am a child, for today I am a boy. -“For Today I Am a Boy”, Antony and the Johnsons The two images below (Figure 1) are from key moments in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958) and Pedro Almodóvar’s La piel que habito (The Skin I Live in, 2011). It is possible that there is a conscious citation here on the part of Almodóvar, but in any case the parallels are striking, and they reveal a great deal about gender as it is constructed in the mid- 20th century and the early 21st. Both shots show a woman gazed at from behind, as she herself is gazing at artwork that is especially significant for her sense of self. In the larger context of the films, both women are haunted by idealized images of femininity, which are necessary to prop up the crumbling masculinity of men who want to reshape their clothes, hair and bodies.

  • Patrice Chéreau. Cineasta Del Corpo Retrospettiva
    Patrice Chéreau. Cineasta del corpo Retrospettiva 16 - 21 febbraio 2010 Cinema Gnomo Milano Iniziativa promossa dal Comune di Milano A cura di Pier Giorgio Carizzoni Organizzata dall’ Associazione Culturale Dioniso Con il patrocinio del Centre Culturel Français de Milan Media partner: Rai Radio Tre Martedì 16 febbraio 2010 si inaugura al Cinema Gnomo di Milano la prima retrospettiva italiana di Patrice Chéreau, celebre regista francese di teatro e di cinema, al quale il Comune di Milano rende omaggio fino a domenica 21 febbraio con la proiezione dei 10 lungometraggi da lui diretti dal 1975 a oggi. L’iniziativa, curata da Pier Giorgio Carizzoni e organizzata dall’Associazione Culturale Dioniso con il patrocinio del Centre Culturel Français de Milan e la collaborazione di Rai RadioTre, si svolge in concomitanza con la presenza a Milano di Chéreau per la regia lirica dell’opera “Da una casa di morti” di Leoš Janá ček, al Teatro alla Scala dal 28 febbraio. Chéreau ha diretto nei suoi film alcuni dei più grandi attori del cinema europeo: Isabelle Huppert, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Isabelle Adjani, Daniel Auteuil, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Simone Signoret, Charlotte Rampling, Jean-Hugues Anglade. Dalla sua filmografia emerge il profilo di un autore che sa esplorare con notevole vigore espressivo i volti e i corpi dei suoi personaggi, indagando in profondità nei risvolti più intimi e nascosti dell’animo umano, senza compiacimenti né rassicurazioni. Circa la metà dei film in programma, irreperibili in Italia, sono presentati in versione originale con sottotitoli in italiano. La rassegna si inaugura martedi 16 con la proiezione di Persécution (ore 18:30, replica domenica 21 ore 21:15, versione originale con sottotitoli in italiano), ultimo film diretto dal regista, presentato al Festival del cinema di Venezia 2009 e alla “Panoramica” milanese in anteprima assoluta, che racconta l’infelicità di un uomo perseguitato e persecutore, amante geloso e infedele fagocitato dal suo stesso narcisismo.

  • Filmic Bodies As Terministic (Silver) Screens: Embodied Social Anxieties in Videodrome
    FILMIC BODIES AS TERMINISTIC (SILVER) SCREENS: EMBODIED SOCIAL ANXIETIES IN VIDEODROME BY DANIEL STEVEN BAGWELL A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Communication May 2014 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Ron Von Burg, Ph.D., Advisor Mary Dalton, Ph.D., Chair R. Jarrod Atchison, Ph.D. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A number of people have contributed to my incredible time at Wake Forest, which I wouldn’t trade for the world. My non-Deac family and friends are too numerous to mention, but nonetheless have my love and thanks for their consistent support. I send a hearty shout-out, appreciative snap, and Roll Tide to every member of the Wake Debate team; working and laughing with you all has been the most fun of my academic career, and I’m a better person for it. My GTA cohort has been a blast to work with and made every class entertaining. I wouldn’t be at Wake without Dr. Louden, for which I’m eternally grateful. No student could survive without Patty and Kimberly, both of whom I suspect might have superpowers. I couldn’t have picked a better committee. RonVon has been an incredibly helpful and patient advisor, whose copious notes were more than welcome (and necessary); Mary Dalton has endured a fair share of my film rants and is the most fun professor that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing; Jarrod is brilliant and is one of the only people with a knowledge of super-violent films that rivals my own.

  • Fragments of the Past in Pedro Almodóvar's Broken
    Oceánide 5 2013 Fecha de recepción: 27 diciembre 2012 Fecha de aceptación: 11 enero 2013 Fecha de publicación: 25 enero 2013 URL:http://oceanide.netne.net/articulos/art5-4.php Oceánide número 5, ISSN 1989-6328 The Shortcomings of Simulacra: Fragments of the Past in Pedro Almodóvar’s Broken Embraces Marcela T. GARCÉS (Siena College, New York, United States) RESUMEN: La obra de Pedro Almodóvar abarca una colección de temas y referencias a sus propias películas, al mismo tiempo que hace referencias a varios otros directores conocidos. Los abrazos rotos (2009) reproduce varias escenas de Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios. No obstante, las referencias a ésta en Los abrazos rotos nos dejan con una sensación de desencanto. Las referencias crean una fragmentación del pasado y en última instancia no cumplen con su meta original. La relación entre estas dos películas demuestra las debilidades inherentes en la reconstrucción de filmes dentro de otros filmes, lo cual se conecta con la idea de Baudrillard que el cine está constantemente cometiendo plagio a la hora de rehacerse. Palabras clave: Almodóvar, nostalgia, Baudrillard, flashback, Los abrazos rotos ABSTRACT: Pedro Almodóvar’s oeuvre encompasses a collection of themes and references to his own back catalogue, all the while referencing many other well-known directors. Broken Embraces (2009) refers to and re-enacts scenes from Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988). Yet the references to the latter in Broken Embraces fail to enchant, instead creating a fragmentation of the past and ultimately shifting from a breakdown to being simply broken.

    Center for Engaged Learning & Teaching Faculty Development/Cross-Divisional Teaching Materials Ethics & International Film across the Curriculum Julie Levinson, Virginia Newhall Rademacher - Arts & Humanities Film Title: A Separation Country: Iran Director: Asghar Farhadi Year: 2011 Principal Characters: Simin (Leila Hatami), Nader (Peyman Moaadi), Termeh (Sarina Farhadi), Hojjat (Shahab Hosseini), Razieh (Sareh Bayat), Nader’s father (Ali Asghar Shahbazi) Summary: A married couple is faced with a difficult decision – to improve the life of their child by moving to another country or to stay in Iran and look after a deteriorating parent who has Alzheimer's disease. As they interact with other Iranians and with state institutions, their personal situation becomes increasingly complicated and their marriage becomes strained to the breaking point. Beyond being compelling story about individual lives, A Separation is a rich and resonant contemplation of personal ethics and social power. Discussion Questions How do personal problems intersect with social institutions? How do civil law, religious law, and individual conscience collide in the film? How is social class presented in the film? What tensions are revealed between those of different classes and education levels? How is power vested in individuals and institutions? To what extent do these characters have power to decide their own fate? In what ways is their power to determine their lives limited by state power? How is the philosophical distinction between individual free will and social determinism conveyed? The film is full of delicate negotiations between individuals. Life seems to be a serial transaction. Cite some of the points of negotiation. How are these worked out (or not)? Is it possible to be fair to everyone in these negotiations? With whom do our dramatic sympathies lie? Does this shift during the film? This teaching note was prepared by Professor Julie Levinson and Assistant Professor Virginia Newhall Rademacher, both in the Arts and Humanities division at Babson College.
