For the last three years, he's led a peaceful life devoting himself to his wife and two children. Then, one winter morning, he's left for dead in the parking garage in Marseille's Old Port, with 22 bullets in his body. Against all the odds, he doesn't die... This film is a work of fiction inspired by real‐life events in the world of the Marseille mafia. INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD BERRY What made you want to adapt Franz‐Olivier Giesbert's book? In the same way that comedy is an incredible vehicle for certain ideas, thrillers can also give you pause to reflect on certain issues. In the story of a guy, who was allegedly a mafia godfather in Marseille, who was left for dead in 1977 in a parking lot in Cassis, but who survived the shooting earning himself the nickname "The Immortal", I saw an incredibly strong subject and an amazing adventure.

It’s the end of 1935, on the eve of the new year and the setting is a working class neighborhood in Paris - a neighborhood dreamed up for us by Christophe Barratier drawing on Montmartre and Ménilmontant, two former villages annexed by the capital, which they overlook from atop their modest hillsides. This imaginary town, where a provincial life can still be lived in its entirety is perceived in sumptuous panoramic shots and through several luxurious and decadent cabaret scenes. (FAUBOURG 36) While the Paris quarter in the film is surely a product of Christophe Barratier’s poetic fantasy, it nevertheless reflects an historic reality. Paris, at the time, did indeed possess A fi lm by dozens of small concert venues and especially vaudevill music halls.

Music and Politics in the Ancient World Ancient the in Politics and Music (eds.) Lawson / Howell / Eichmann BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD is the outcome of an international workshop held in Berlin in June 2011, under the title Sound, Political Space and Political Condition: Exploring Sounds of Societies under Change. Focusing on the poetics of emerging music-archaeological narratives, it seeks to test assertions made by writers of the 5th to 3rd centuries BCE that political change is refl ected in music. It asks whether politics’ footprint might be discerned in surviv- ing records of music and sound – thereby serving as a marker for social and political change. Taking advantage of several distinct yet complementary traditions of criti- cism which, where they overlap, make up the young and expanding fi elds of music archaeology and archaeoacous- tics, the chapters seek, in a constructive way, to disrupt old ways of visualising the archaeological past. Along the way ancient music is revealed as much more than just a form of entertainment. From a traditional preoccupa- tion with systematics, music archaeology aims to forge a broader theoretical engagement between music studies and the remote past, and to establish music’s place within the wider arena of Ancient Studies. berlin studies of 65 the ancient world berlin studies of the ancient world · 65 edited by topoi excellence cluster Music and Politics in the Ancient World exploring identity, agency, stability and change through the records of music archaeology edited by Ricardo Eichmann, Mark Howell, Graeme Lawson Bibliographic information published by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Nationalbibliographie; detailed bibliographic data are available in the Internet at http://dnb.d-nb.de.
