This Catalogue Went to Print a Few Days After the Untimely Death of Fulvia Ferragamo Visconti, the Daughter of Salvatore Ferragamo This catalogue went to print a few days after the untimely death of Fulvia Ferragamo Visconti, the daughter of Salvatore Ferragamo. It is to her, a lover of art and of culture in all its expressions, that we dedicate this exhibition, inspired by the years her father spent in California, where he outlined the values of commitment and creativity on which the brand’s success is founded. The family has rigorously upheld these principles through the years and Fulvia applied them to her work in the world of silk, with passion and extraordinary flair.

  • The Lost Laugh
    #12 1 April 2020 Welcome to issue 12 of THE LOST LAUGH. I hope, wherever this reaches you, that you’re coping OK with these troubled times, and keeping safe and well. These old, funny films are a great form of escapism and light relief at times like these. In fact, I was thinking the other day that the times they were made in had their fair share of troubles : two world wars, the 1918 flu pandemic, the Wall Street Crash and the great depression, to name a few. Yet, these comics made people smile, often even making fun out of the anxi- eties of the day. That they can still make us smile through our own troubles, worlds away from their own, is testament to how special they are. I hope reading this issue helps you forget the outside world for a while and perhaps gives you some new ideas for films to seek out to pass some time in lockdown. Thanks to our contributors this issue: David Glass, David Wyatt and Ben Model; if you haven't seen them yet, Ben’s online silent comedy events are a terrific idea that help to keep the essence of live silent cinema alive. Ben has very kindly taken time to answer some questions about the shows. As always, please do get in touch at [email protected] with any comments or suggestions, or if you’d like to contribute an article (or plug a project of your own!) in a future issue. Finally, don’t for- get that there are more articles, including films to watch online, at thelostlaugh.com.

  • 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

  • Rudolph Valentino Living at 50 West in 1923

Rodolph Valentino is a man, therefore human. Hence he will be glad to know that you, who write backhandedly under the soubriquet of Jerry, "worship at his shrine as ardently as any flapper. He's so disgustingly handsome." Suspicion stirs deep in my being, Jerry. Maybe you are a man and envious of the darkeyed one's reign over the hearts of the women in his audiences. I am not sure. If you are Mr. Jerry instead of Miss Jerry you would not be likely to say, "His eyes intrigue me, exceedingly, oh where, oh where, can I obtain a photograph of 'The Young Rajah'?" Write him care of his headquarters, 50 West 67th Street, New York, N. Y. From New York Times, August 25, 1926, p.1: Thousands in Riot at Valentino Bier; More Than 100 Hurt – Crowd at Funeral Church Is Out of Police Control at Times – Big Windows Crash…Traffic Interrupted, Mounted Policemen Charge Again and Again in Vain.

  • Valentino, Rudolph (1895-1926) by Peter J
    Valentino, Rudolph (1895-1926) by Peter J. Holliday Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The most popular of silent-screen stars, the darkly handsome Valentino gazed at his heroines with a mixture of passion and melancholy that sent chills down female (and some male) spines. To American women he represented mysterious, forbidden eroticism, the fulfillment of dreams of illicit love and uninhibited passion; but most male moviegoers found his acting ludicrous, his manner foppish, and his screen character effeminate. His androgynous persona, at once assertively virile and gracefully sensitive, threatened traditional images of American masculinity in a crucial period of cultural change. Top: A Paramount Born Rodolfo Alfonzo Raffaele Pierre Philibert Guglielmi in Castellaneta, Italy in 1895, Pictures poster for The Valentino emigrated to New York in 1913. There he took a succession of jobs, including Shiek (1921). Above: Rudolph dishwasher and waiter, and was booked by the police several times on suspicion of Valentino (left) with petty theft and blackmail. Elinor Glyn. In 1917 he traveled to Hollywood where he landed bit parts in the movies, mostly as an exotic dancer or villain. He married bisexual actress Jean Acker in 1920, but the marriage was never consummated. Valentino's big break came in 1921 when Metro screenwriter June Mathis insisted that director Rex Ingram give him the lead in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The film catapulted Valentino into stardom. He reached new heights with The Sheik (1921) for Paramount. During the film's exhibition women fainted in the aisles.

  • The Golden Door
    THE GOLDEN DOOR Nuovomondo (The Golden Door) Directed by Emanuele Crialese Produced by Bernard Bouix Tommaso Calevi Alexandre Mallet-Guy Written by Emanuele Crialese Starring Charlotte Gainsbourg Vincenzo Amato Francesco Casisa Filippo Pucillo Vincent Schiavelli Music by Antonio Castrigano Editing by Maryline Monthieux Distributed by Miramax Release date(s) May 25, 2007 (US limited) September 22, 2006 (Italy) Running time 120 min. Country Italy Language Italian, English Budget ~ €10,000,000 Nuovomondo literally, new world (The Golden Door) is a 2006 drama based around a family's migration from Italy to New York during the beginning of the 20th Century. The film is set in both Italy and The United States. The film is written and directed by Emanuele Crialese. Vincent Schiavelli, whose character was originally planned to play a major part, died during the filming, forcing his role to become a supporting character. The movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 8, 2006 to critical praise and seven nominations (with six wins) at the Festival. Many praised the director's focus on sound and visual composition. Others focused on the lack of typical iconography of the time (such as the Statue of Liberty). Martin Scorsese will be featured in the marketing for the film. He will also introduce the film at the Tribeca Film Festival. Plot summary During the turn of the 20th Century, the poor Mancuso family (headed by the widowed Salvatore, Vincenzo Amato), from Sicily, Italy, emigrates to the United States. They dream of the land of opportunity, where giant vegetables are grown, people swim in milk, and coins fall from the sky.

Introduction to Italian Cinema I. Italian Cinema from the 1940's to its Golden Period in the 1960's through the 1970's. Films will be viewed in their cultural, aesthetic and/or historical context. Readings and guiding questionnaires will help students develop appropriate viewing skills. Films will be shown in Italian with English subtitles. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 3.0 COURSE GOALS and METHODS: To develop a critical knowledge of Italian film history and film techniques and an aesthetic appreciation for cinema, attain more than a mere acquaintance or a broad understanding of specific artistic (cinematographic) forms, genres, and cultural sources, that is, to learn about Italian civilization (politics, art, theatre and customs) through cinema. Guiding questionnaires will also be distributed on a regular basis to help students achieve these goals. All questionnaires will be graded. Weekly discussions will help students appreciate connections between cinema and art and literary movements, between Italian cinema and American film, as well as to deal with questionnaires. You are required to view the films in the best possible conditions, i.e. on a large screen in class. Viewing may be enjoyable but is not meant to be exclusively entertaining.
