L‟omaggio è un progetto del Museo Nazionale del Cinema in collaborazione con la Cineteca di Bologna.

Bakshi, un attore indiano che fa la comparsa a Hollywood in un film in costume, rovina le riprese a causa della propria goffaggine. Il regista telefona quindi al produttore per far cacciare Bakshi dagli studios ma questi, per errore, lo inserisce nella lista degli invitati al party nella sua villa. Durante la festa si susseguono le situazioni più strane, con esilaranti gag che coinvolgono Bakshi, gli invitati e il personale di servizio. Uno dei film comici più esilaranti e geniali dell‟intera storia del cinema.

    s6s r i w°/Ia ym ICsa ui S" cs . .. ....................... ....... Dear Colleagues, Writers and directors, working in the kind of collaboration that dignifies both of our profes- sions, stand together once again in our official identities as the Writers Guild of America, west and the Directors Guild of America, to present the Preston Sturges Award in recognition of a career achievement in filmmaking. Our honoree is Blake Edwards, the third artist to be so selected, preceded by Richard Brooks and Billy Wilder. How proud we are to have been in their presence and to be working at the same crafts! Somewhere, Preston Sturges is smiling; surely Blake Edwards is a talent after his own heart. Consider Blake's body of work, outlined in detail elsewhere in this publication. It is the journey of an instinctive artist learning his craft. A journey through the latter days of the legendary Hollywood studio system, writing low-budget westerns and romantic comedies, then directing his own scripts. Then the gradual development of a personal style, a "touch." Then, in 1963, his script (with Maurice Richlin) and his direction of The Pink Panther,and film buffs throughout the world knew that they had another stylist to enjoy. (Remember the spinning globe of the earth, and Inspector Clouseau inadvertently touching it, and spinning himself right to the floor?) After that, Blake's work, unaffected by the storytelling fads of the moment, showed the maturing of a master. He developed into one of those rare creative minds who holds true to his unique talent and to the cinematic tradition of the great era of visual comedy of Chaplin, Keaton and Harold Lloyd, and later, Preston Sturges himself.

  • El Cine De Ken Russell, O El Juego De La Vacía Ostentación
    PERSONALIDADES (1) El cine de Ken Russell, o el juego de la vacía ostentación Son más bien extravagantes las ideas estéticas del inglés Ken Russell: su gusto por la vulgaridad que gobierna al arte y a las personas, su fascinación por la violencia, su actitud distante, le han creado el prestigio de un talento cierto y seguro, También ha originado las dudas sobre su responsabilidad como presunto creador. La evolución, a la altura de sus últimos films, puede aclarar varios equívocos y abre un amplio signo de interrogación. Quizás porque no es oro todo lo que reluce. La ostentación es la marca más visi­ ble del estilo del inglés Ken Russell y sus desbordes coinciden con una acti­ tud personal donde todo está permiti­ do; modificar biografías de gente famo­ sa (músicos por lo general), tramar desplantes de ribetes sacrilegos, bus­ car audaces referencias visuales para asuntos que casi nunca eran tan sólidos como su superficie pudiera sugerir. Esa modalidad le ha acarreado a Russell va­ rios fracasos también notorios, inclu­ yendo en la lista una truculenta apro­ ximación a los años de Rudolph Valen­ tino, famoso por diversas razones. Des­ pués de 1963, los largometrajes del di­ rector han oscilado entre la modera­ ción inicial y las exorbitadas invencio­ nes de los últimos tiempos, 'con dos únicos momentos de equilibrio en 1969 (Mujeres apasionadas) y en 1970 (U otra cara del amor). Ese equilibrio tam­ bién es relativo porque en la segunda hay suficiente agitación y efectos foto­ gráficos como para confirmar que el film no apunta tanto a Chaikovskll co­ mo al poder destructivo de la fantasía sobre la vida de la gente.

  • KEN RUSSELL I PECCATI DI UN VISIONARIO Di Massimo Monteleone
    KEN RUSSELL I PECCATI DI UN VISIONARIO di Massimo Monteleone «Il pubblico preferisce vedere storie di diavoli piuttosto che di santi». «I compositori sono i più vicini a fare ciò che io stesso cerco di fare; esprimere l’inesprimibile, o piuttosto investigarlo, esplorare l’inesplorabile, il mistero divino». «Non sono un intellettuale... il mio approccio al cinema è sempre e solamente emotivo.., il cinema per me è un fatto d’arte terribilmente romantico». «Ci sono più resurrezioni in Dallas che in tutta la storia del Cristianesimo». Ogni qual volta il nome di Ken Russell appare sul manifesto di un film o sulla locandina di un’opera lirica, lo scandalo è assicurato. Sulla stampa (specie italiana) i complimenti si sprecano: visionario, delirante, sacrilego, pazzo, kitch, sessuofobo, infantile. Insomma il re dell’eccesso e dello schiaffo audiovisivo alle sacre convenzioni dell’Arte. Ma l’ironia che lo contraddistingue gli permette di non offendersi. Il fatto è che qualsiasi materiale (testo letterario, musical o vita d’artista) diventa nelle sue mani qualcosa di «russelliano» senza appello, risultando stravolto agli occhi dei critici puritani e decisamente provocatorio per le platee del «buon gusto» e dei «buoni sentimenti». E di certo un autore per il quale non si adatta il metro dell’equilibrata mediocrità. Lo si può considerare affascinante per le sue personalissime stravaganze espressive, o altrimenti detestare con tutta la propria sensibilità di spettatore, ma l’indifferenza gli è ignota davvero. La sua infanzia fu un vero bombardamento «cinematografico». Andava al cinema con sua madre anche tre volte alla settimana. Poi cominciò a farsi il «cinema» a casa, con un proiettore a manovella, un grammofono, vecchi dischi come colonna sonora, e alcuni classici del cinema noleggiati da un emporio, dei quali Russell ricorda con entusiasmo Metropolis e I Nibelunghi di Lang, ma anche Betty Boop e le vecchie comiche del muto (tutti influssi riscontrabili nel suo stile futuro).

KEN RUSSELL: MUSICAL MYTHMAKER By Michael Adams No film director has made as many films about classical music as Britain’s Ken Russell. After joining BBC’s arts program Monitor in 1959, replacing John Schlesinger, who left to make feature films, Russell went on to make groundbreaking, often controversial short films about com- posers and other musical topics, as well as art and literary topics, before launching a long and even more controversial career in feature films, which includes Women in Love (1969), The Devils (1971), Altered States (1980), Crimes of Passion (1984), and Gothic (1986).
