(John Forster, The Life of Charles Dickens (1872)) R T’ A Tale of Two Cities of 1958 occupies a secure if modest place among that bunch of 1950s British releases based on novels by Dickens, including Brian Desmond Hurst’s Scrooge (1951) and Noel Langley’s The Pickwick Papers (1952).1 When all the arguments about successfully filming Dickens are considered it must be conceded that his fiction offers significant qualities that appeal to film-makers: strong and contrasting characters, fascinating plots and frequent confrontations and collisions of personality. In unsuspected ways, Ralph Thomas’s film is indeed one of the best film versions of a Dickens novel and part of this rests upon the fact that, as Dickens’s novels go, A Tale of Two Cities is unusual. Dickens elaborately works up material in this novel which must have been marinating in his imagination.

  • War Cinema– Or How British Films Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Affluent Society
    1 THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICER CLASS IN POST- WAR CINEMA– OR HOW BRITISH FILMS LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Roberts College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences of Brunel University 22nd September2014 2 ABSTRACT My central argument is that mainstream British cinema of the 1951 – 1965 period marked the end of the paternalism, as exemplified by a professional ‘officer class’, as consumerism gradually came to be perceived as the norm as opposed to a post-war enemy. The starting point is 1951, the year of the Conservative victory in the General Election and a time which most films were still locally funded. The closing point is 1965, by which point the vast majority of British films were funded by the USA and often featured a youthful and proudly affluent hero. Thus, this fourteen year describes how British cinema moved away from the People as Hero guided by middle class professionals in the face of consumerism. Over the course of this work, I will analyse the creation of the archetypes of post-war films and detail how the impact of consumerism and increased Hollywood involvement in the UK film industry affected their personae. However, parallel with this apparently linear process were those films that questioned or attacked the wartime consensus model. As memories of the war receded, and the Rank/ABPC studio model collapsed, there was an increasing sense of deracination across a variety of popular British cinematic genres. From the beginning of our period there is a number films that infer that the “Myth of the Blitz”, as developed in a cinematic sense, was just that and our period ends with films that convey a sense of a fragmenting society.

  • La Violenza Sottile Del Cinema Di Losey Tarcisio Lancioni
    La violenza sottile del cinema di Losey Tarcisio Lancioni “nulla di decisivo può essere pensato al di fuori della violenza” É. Balibar 1. Della violenza Cos’è la violenza? da che cosa la riconosciamo? quand’è che qualcosa ci appare violento? o meglio, quand’è che qualcosa ci significa “violenza”? La letteratura semiotica non ci offre grande aiuto, e benché non manchino studi e lavori su “cose” che classificheremmo senza esitazione violente, come guerre, delitti o torture, non sono riuscito a trovare qualche testo che cerchi specificamente di definire “la violenza”. D’altra parte anche la letteratura classica sul tema, dal Walter Benjamin critico di Sorel ad Hannah Arendt, o da Pierre Clastres a René Girard, sembra assumere la violenza come qualcosa di scontato: vi si discute della legittimità del suo uso, del ruolo della violenza nel formarsi delle società primitive e del suo valore fondativo, ma non si tenta di dire in cosa essa consista né da cosa effettivamente riconosciamo “la violenza”. Per trovare una via di accesso al problema proviamo perciò a rivolgerci al dizionario, luogo istituzionale della memoria semantica della lingua: «violenza. s.f. 1 Forza impetuosa e incontrollata; estens.: la v. del temporale. 2 Azione volontaria, esercitata da un soggetto su un altro, in modo da determinarlo ad agire contro la sua volontà. Violenza assoluta (o violenza materiale), se la resistenza del soggetto è totale. Violenza morale, se è relativa e basata sul timore di chi la subisce. Violenza fisica, se attuata come costrizione materiale. Violenza carnale, il reato di chi impone ad altri con la forza un rapporto sessuale.
