Press Release 23/5/2018
THE KARLOVY VARY FESTIVAL TO HONOR ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR BARRY LEVINSON At this year’s Karlovy Vary festival, screenwriter-producer-director Barry Levinson, who won an Academy Award for Rain Man, will accept the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema. The Karlovy Vary festival continues its tradition of recognizing the most important personalities of world cinema, the likes of which include directors William Friedkin, Jerry Schatzberg, and Ken Loach, and screenwriter Paul Laverty. In his writing and directing capacity, Academy Award winner and five-time nominee Barry Levinson deftly combines personal stories with an often satirical look at society, and his movies have fundamentally influenced numerous young filmmakers. Barry Levinson established himself as a writer of successful television shows. With his onetime wife, Valerie Curtin, he then wrote the movie script for Norman Jewison’s courtroom drama …and justice for all (1979), which brought them an Oscar nomination. He debuted as a director with the comedy-drama Diner (1982), receiving his second Oscar nomination for the script. Ivan Král, a Czech musician based in the US, co- wrote the film music. Subsequent titles confirmed his reputation with critics and audiences: The Natural (1984) with Robert Redford, Tin Men (1987) with Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito, and Good Morning, Vietnam (1987) with Robin Williams. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the legendary picture Rain Man (1988), awarded four Oscars (e.g. Best Director for Barry Levinson) and numerous other honors, including the Golden Bear at the Berlinale and the David di Donatello for Best Foreign Film. -

Introduction 1 Mimesis and Film Languages
Notes Introduction 1. The English translation is that provided in the subtitles to the UK Region 2 DVD release of the film. 2. The rewarding of Christoph Waltz for his polyglot performance as Hans Landa at the 2010 Academy Awards recalls other Oscar- winning multilin- gual performances such as those by Robert de Niro in The Godfather Part II (Coppola, 1974) and Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice (Pakula, 1982). 3. T h is u nder st a nd i ng of f i l m go es bac k to t he era of si lent f i l m, to D.W. Gr i f f it h’s famous affirmation of film as the universal language. For a useful account of the semiotic understanding of film as language, see Monaco (2000: 152–227). 4. I speak here of film and not of television for the sake of convenience only. This is not to undervalue the relevance of these questions to television, and indeed vice versa. The large volume of studies in existence on the audiovisual translation of television texts attests to the applicability of these issues to television too. From a mimetic standpoint, television addresses many of the same issues of language representation. Although the bulk of the exempli- fication in this study will be drawn from the cinema, reference will also be made where applicable to television usage. 1 Mimesis and Film Languages 1. There are, of course, examples of ‘intralingual’ translation where films are post-synchronised with more easily comprehensible accents (e.g. Mad Max for the American market). -

WELCOME to FILM NOIR/NEO-NOIR a Robbery Or Holdup; to Take Unlawfully, Especially in a Robbery Or Holdup; Steal
WELCOME TO FILM NOIR/NEO-NOIR a robbery or holdup; to take unlawfully, especially in a robbery or holdup; steal From The Philosophy of Neo-Noir In essence, Point Blank is an archetypical revenge thriller, but turned inside out. From 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die • …John Boorman’s thriller is as arrestingly and unselfconsciously stylish as the day it was released, • The perfect thriller in both form and vision, Boorman’s use of widescreen to full effect --- urban horizons appear bleak and wide; characters are thrown from one long end of the frame to another... Roger Ebert: • …as suspense thrillers go Point Blank is pretty good. It gets back into the groove of Hollywood thrillers, after the recent glut of spies, counterspies, funny spies, anti-hero spies and spy-spier spies. Marvin is just a plain, simple tough guy who wants to have the same justice done for him as was done for Humphrey Bogart. From FILM NOIR OF THE WEEK: •Based very loosely on Donald Westlake's crime novel 'The Hunter', John Boorman's dazzling 'Point Blank' is a fusion of 1960's New Wave aesthetics on a traditional Noir revenge plot - with decidedly fascinating results… at once an exiting and brutal revenge Noir, and an elliptical fragmented, art film influenced by New Wave filmmakers like Resnais and Antonioni. • Along with displaying a mesmerizing, rigorous color scheme (suits matching decor, dresses matching cars), and a consistently chilly use of widescreen isolation (characters divided by columns, doorways, or space), Point Blank is easily the sexiest of early neo-noirs.
