  • Van Gogh (1991), Unas Pinceladas De Maurice Pialat
    Van Gogh (1991), unas pinceladas de Maurice Pialat DANIEL SEGUER Abstract A man tortured by his own existence, an artist who achieved by painting the vehicle of his emotional survival. Van Gogh is the man’s portrait hidden behind the myth of the creator. Keywords: artist, frustration, fear, loneliness. Resumen Un hombre torturado por su propia existencia, un artista que hallaba en la pintura un vehículo de supervivencia emocional. Van Gogh es el retrato del hombre oculto tras el mito del creador. Palabras clave: artista, frustración, miedo, soledad. En el frondoso paisaje de los géneros cinematográficos destaca entre la maleza el de las disecciones biográficas de personas ilustres que despuntaron en alguna rama del saber o actividad merecedora del reconocimiento colectivo. El biopic se manifiesta prolíficamente arraigando con énfasis en las manifestaciones fílmicas dedicadas a artistas de talento inconmensurable. En este sentido, el cine se ha hecho eco de la vida y dificultades creativas de numerosos pintores, y uno de ellos es Vincent Van Gogh. El film de Maurice Pialat indaga en los últimos días del artista holandés, en los miedos y preocupaciones de alguien que antes que pintor era hombre. Lejos de anteponer el mito del genio creativo angustiado de Van Gogh, el cineasta se sumerge en la cotidianidad de Vincent. Las pinceladas de Pialat siguen los siguientes trazos. El encuadre del mundo Es una cosa admirable mirar un objeto y encontrarlo bello, reflexionar sobre él, retenerlo y decir enseguida: me voy a poner a dibujarlo y a trabajar entonces hasta que esté reproducido1. Vincent fue un auténtico trotamundos: Londres, París, Etten, Ámsterdam, Bruselas, Amberes o Arlés son algunas de las localidades que atestiguaron las poco discretas estancias del pintor.

  • GAUMONT PRESENTS: a CENTURY of FRENCH CINEMA, on View Through April 14, Includes Fifty Programs of Films Made from 1900 to the Present
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release January 1994 GAUNONT PRESENTS: A CENTURY OF FRENCH CINEMA January 28 - April 14, 1994 A retrospective tracing the history of French cinema through films produced by Gaumont, the world's oldest movie studio, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on January 28, 1994. GAUMONT PRESENTS: A CENTURY OF FRENCH CINEMA, on view through April 14, includes fifty programs of films made from 1900 to the present. All of the films are recently restored, and new 35mm prints were struck especially for the exhibition. Virtually all of the sound films feature new English subtitles as well. A selection of Gaumont newsreels [actualites) accompany the films made prior to 1942. The exhibition opens with the American premiere of Bertrand Blier's Un deux trois soleil (1993), starring Marcello Mastroianni and Anouk Grinberg, on Friday, January 28, at 7:30 p.m. A major discovery of the series is the work of Alice Guy-Blache, the film industry's first woman producer and director. She began making films as early as 1896, and in 1906 experimented with sound, using popular singers of the day. Her film Sur la Barricade (1906), about the Paris Commune, is featured in the series. Other important directors whose works are included in the exhibition are among Gaumont's earliest filmmakers: the pioneer animator and master of trick photography Emile Cohl; the surreal comic director Jean Durand; the inventive Louis Feuillade, who went on to make such classic serials as Les Vampires (1915) and Judex (1917), both of which are shown in their entirety; and Leonce Perret, an outstanding early realistic narrative filmmaker.

  • Biographie De Maurice Pialat
    Un coup de projecteur sur « Pialat, a la vie a la mort » , Libération 13 Janvier Maurice Pialat 2003. Par Antoine de Baecque « Voici un an, presque jour pour jour, Maurice Pialat Objectifs: A partir d’ un extrait débutait ainsi un entretien accordé à Libération (16 d’article de presse, partir à la janvier 2002) : « Je rêve souvent d'un film : un type découverte d’un grand cinéaste et meurt, c'est la fin, sans pathos, puis un noir total, qui rechercher des éléments dure. Salut.» Le noir est advenu à minuit et dix biographiques qui permettent de minutes dans la nuit de vendredi à samedi, quand contextualiser le film l’Enfance nue . Pialat s'est éteint... Un très grand cinéaste est parti. Maurice Pialat n'était pas un gars commode. Il était célèbre pour ses colères, ses grognements, son aigreur. Mais cette bile noire était féconde. «Dès le début, j'ai eu des problèmes, avait-il confié un jour... ».ça a été mal dès le début, quand Maurice Pialat rate le train de la Nouvelle Vague, par négligence, malchance, naïveté, complot (lui penchera pour la dernière réponse, admettons qu'il s'agit d'un mixte des trois premières). Successivement, Chabrol, Truffaut, Godard, Rivette, tous ses cadets, se lancent dans l'aventure du premier film entre 1957 et 1959. Lui, avec des armes et des idées à peu près identiques, un talent peut- être plus fulgurant encore, devra attendre dix ans pour, en 1969, tourner l'Enfance nue, financé par une coopérative de cinéastes où, humiliation supplémentaire, figurent quelques membres éminents de la vague.

  • Cinéma Du Nord
    A North Wind THE NEW REALISM OF THE FRENCH- WALLOON CINÉMA DU NORD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY NIELS NIESSEN IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ADVISER: CESARE CASARINO NOVEMBER, 2013 © Niels Niessen, 2013 i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Ideas sometimes come in the middle of the night yet they are never fully one’s own. They are for a very large part the fruits of the places and organizations one works or is supported by, the communities one lives in and traverses, and the people one loves and is loved by. First of all, I would like to acknowledge the support I received from the following institutions: the American Council of Learned Societies, the Huygens Scholarship Program of the Dutch government, the Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds (The Netherlands), and, at the University of Minnesota, the Center for German & European Studies (and its donor Hella Mears), the Graduate School (and the Harold Leonard Memorial Fellowship in Film Study), as well as the Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature. As for my home department, I could not have wished for a warmer and more intellectually vibrant community to pursue my graduate studies, and I express my gratitude to all who I have worked with. A special word of thanks to my academic adviser, Cesare Casarino, who has taught me how to read many of the philosophies that, explicitly or implicitly, have shaped my thinking in the following pages, and who has made me see that cinema too is a form of thought.

When filmmaker Goldfinger is cleaning out the Tel Aviv apartment of his recently deceased German- born mother, he discovers evidence closely linking his Zionist grandparents to a high-ranking Nazi, both before and—more surprisingly—after the war. Following a trail that leads to the Nazi’s surviving daughter, he discovers a shattering secret that raises far- reaching issues of denial, selective memory, and survival.
