Dialogues, enquêtes, les textes amicalement et expérimentalement réunis ici pratiquent active- ment la citation et la bibliothèque. Ils revendiquent sinon leur caractère fragmentaire, leur existence de processus, et leur perpétuelle évolution. Créée sur l’impulsion de l’École Doctorale « Montaigne-Humanités » devenue depuis 2014 Université Bordeaux Montaigne, la revue Essais a pour objectif de promouvoir une nouvelle génération de jeunes chercheurs résolument tournés vers l’interdisciplinarité. Essais propose la mise à l’épreuve critique de paroles et d’objets issus du champ des arts, des lettres, des langues et des sciences humaines et sociales. Communauté pluridisciplinaire et plurilingue (des traductions inédites sont proposées), la revue Essais est animée par l’héritage de Montaigne, qui devra être compris comme une certaine qualité de regard et d’écriture. Parce que de Montaigne nous revendiquons cette capacité à s’exiler par rapport à sa culture et à sa formation, cette volonté d’estrange- ment qui produit un trouble dans la perception de la réalité et permet de décrire une autre scène où l’objet d’étude peut être sans cesse refor- mulé. Ce trouble méthodologique ne peut être disjoint d’une forme particulière d’écriture, celle, en effet, que Montaigne qualifie de façon étonnamment belle et juste d’« essai ». Avec la revue Essais nous voudrions ainsi renouer avec une manière d’interroger et de raconter le monde qui privilégie l’inachevé sur le méthodique et l’exhaustif. Comme le rappelle Theodor Adorno (« L’essai comme forme », 1958), l’espace de l’essai est celui d’un anachronisme permanent, pris entre une « science organisée » qui prétend tout expli- quer et un besoin massif de connaissance et de sens qui favorise, plus encore aujourd’hui, les formes d’écriture et de communication rapides, lisses et consensuelles. Écriture à contrecourant, l’essai vise à restaurer dans notre communauté et dans nos sociétés le droit à l’incertitude et à l’erreur, le pouvoir qu’ont les Humanités de formuler des vérités complexes, Édito dérangeantes et paradoxales. Cette écriture continue et spéculaire, en questionnement permanent, semble seule à même de constituer un regard humaniste sur un monde aussi bigarré que relatif, où « chacun appelle barbarie ce qui n’est pas de son usage ». C’est ainsi qu’alternent dans cette « marqueterie mal jointe », numéros monographiques et varias, développements et notes de lecture, tous également essais et en dialogue, petit chaos tenant son ordre de lui-même. Le Comité de Rédaction * Toutes les citations sont empruntées aux Essais (1572-1592) de Michel de Montaigne. Dossier Stanley Kubrick Nouveaux horizons Dossier coordonné par Vincent Jaunas Jean-François Baillon Avant-Propos Vincent Jaunas « Explaining [films] contributes nothing but a superficial “cultural” value which has no value except for critics and teachers who have to earn a living »1. Stanley Kubrick, connu pour sa franchise, ne dissimule pas sa méfiance à l’égard des exégètes de son œuvre après la sortie de 2001 : L’odyssée de l’espace. Force est de constater que nombre de critiques de cinéma, philosophes ou historiens de l’art furent irrémédiablement attirés par la force énigmatique du film, et cédèrent à la tentation d’en livrer une interprétation totale et défi- nitive ; le mystérieux monolithe ou la renaissance de l’astronaute Bowman furent déchiffrés comme autant de paraboles historiques, sociales, philoso- phiques ou encore théologiques. Depuis, il est indéniable que peu de cinéastes ont tant fait couler d’encre, du côté des critiques et universitaires comme de celui des amateurs passionnés. Chaque film de l’artiste s’accompagne désor- mais d’une bibliographie parmi les plus denses que l’on puisse trouver dans le champ des études filmiques. Or Kubrick envisageait ses œuvres comme des expériences non verbales, s’adressant directement à un subconscient capable d’en apprécier la multiplicité et le foisonnement sémantique sans chercher à en circonscrire le sens par le langage : « a visual, nonverbal experience. It avoids intellectual verbalization and reaches the viewer’s subconscious in a way that is essentially poetic and philosophic »2. Il semble ainsi légitime de questionner le bien-fondé de publier Stanley Kubrick. Nouveaux Horizons, près de 20 ans après la mort du réalisateur et ce, alors que des dizaines d’ouvrages ont déjà analysé son œuvre. Sommes-nous, enseignants, doctorants ou chercheurs amateurs, sur le point de trahir à notre tour la complexité de ces films en la circonscrivant par le langage ? Notons toute- fois que Kubrick ne rejetait pas intégralement les travaux consacrés à ses films. Emilio d’Alessandro, chauffeur et ami du réalisateur, confia à Filippo Ulivieri 1 Stanley Kubrick.

Centering on events in the lives of Bobby’s colorful Bronx family, the film is a glittering valentine to the movie stars, socialites, playboys, debutantes, politicians, and gangsters who epitomized the excitement and glamour of the age. Bobby’s family features his relentlessly bickering parents Rose (Jeannie Berlin) and Marty (Ken Stott), his casually amoral gangster brother Ben (Corey Stoll); his good-hearted teacher sister Evelyn (Sari Lennick), and her egghead husband Leonard (Stephen Kunken).

  • BBC Four Programme Information
    SOUND OF CINEMA: THE MUSIC THAT MADE THE MOVIES BBC Four Programme Information Neil Brand presenter and composer said, “It's so fantastic that the BBC, the biggest producer of music content, is showing how music works for films this autumn with Sound of Cinema. Film scores demand an extraordinary degree of both musicianship and dramatic understanding on the part of their composers. Whilst creating potent, original music to synchronise exactly with the images, composers are also making that music as discreet, accessible and communicative as possible, so that it can speak to each and every one of us. Film music demands the highest standards of its composers, the insight to 'see' what is needed and come up with something new and original. With my series and the other content across the BBC’s Sound of Cinema season I hope that people will hear more in their movies than they ever thought possible.” Part 1: The Big Score In the first episode of a new series celebrating film music for BBC Four as part of a wider Sound of Cinema Season on the BBC, Neil Brand explores how the classic orchestral film score emerged and why it’s still going strong today. Neil begins by analysing John Barry's title music for the 1965 thriller The Ipcress File. Demonstrating how Barry incorporated the sounds of east European instruments and even a coffee grinder to capture a down at heel Cold War feel, Neil highlights how a great composer can add a whole new dimension to film. Music has been inextricably linked with cinema even since the days of the "silent era", when movie houses employed accompanists ranging from pianists to small orchestras.

Hunter, and Elisa Pezzotta Ten years ago those immersed in researching the life and work of Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) were gifted a unique opportunity for fresh insights into his films and production methods. In March 2007 the Kubrick Estate – supervised by his executive producer and brother-in-law, Jan Harlan – donated the director’s vast archive to the University of Arts London and instigated a new wave of scholarly study into the director. The Stanley Kubrick Archive comprises the accumulated material at Childwickbury, the Kubrick family home near St Albans, from which he largely worked and where he maintained a comprehensive record of his films’ production and marketing, collated and stored in boxes. The catalogue introduction online testifies to the sheer size of the Archive, which is stored on over 800 linear metres of shelving:1 The Archive includes draft and completed scripts, research materials such as books, magazines and location photographs.

  • CLASSICAL MUSIC in CINEMA the Purpose of the Course Will Be To
    CLASSICAL MUSIC IN CINEMA The purpose of the course will be to explore and understand the use of classical music in art movies starting with The Birth of a Nation in 1915 up until today. Films will be screened partially, and musical extracts will discussed. The 12 week lectures start with a historical introduction into the utilisation of classical music in the early era of cinema. Diegetic and non-diegetic music and their particular use will then be discussed. A discussion on the effect of leitmotivs and classical music as a device supporting the narrative will follow. After this three-week introduction, we will explore classical music used as leitmotiv and supporting narrative, then films on opera and opera in films, and the use of classical music in period movies. We will then examine the way how specific pieces of music have added to some of the greatest dramas and films of the past. Finally, the course will conclude with a discussion of auteur cinema and cover how seven essential directors have used music in their films; Bunuel, Bresson, Bergman, Pasolini, Kubrick, Godard, Tarkovsky and Fassbinder. Extracts from almost 100 films are intended to be shown and discussed. There will be no requirement for pre-lecture reading, screening or preparation. However, attendance will be obligatory, since grades will only be based on attendance, performance in class and homework in the form of essays. Screenings of assignments will be made in class. Week 1 (9 February 2015): General introduction Features D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation [1915] Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin [1925] Fritz Lang’s Metropolis [1927] David Lean’s Brief Encounter [1945] Giuseppe Tornatore’s Cinema Paradiso [1988] Luc Besson’s Leon [1994] Readings [None.

  • David Hare's the Blue Room and Stanley
    Schnitzler as a Space of Central European Cultural Identity: David Hare’s The Blue Room and Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut SUSAN INGRAM e status of Arthur Schnitzler’s works as representative of fin de siècle Vien- nese culture was already firmly established in the author’s own lifetime, as the tributes written in on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday demonstrate. Addressing Schnitzler directly, Hermann Bahr wrote: “As no other among us, your graceful touch captured the last fascination of the waning of Vi- enna, you were the doctor at its deathbed, you loved it more than anyone else among us because you already knew there was no more hope” (); Egon Friedell opined that Schnitzler had “created a kind of topography of the constitution of the Viennese soul around , on which one will later be able to more reliably, more precisely and more richly orient oneself than on the most obese cultural historian” (); and Stefan Zweig noted that: [T]he unforgettable characters, whom he created and whom one still could see daily on the streets, in the theaters, and in the salons of Vienna on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday, even yesterday… have suddenly disappeared, have changed. … Everything that once was this turn-of-the-century Vienna, this Austria before its collapse, will at one point… only be properly seen through Arthur Schnitzler, will only be called by their proper name by drawing on his works. () With the passing of time, the scope of Schnitzler’s representativeness has broadened. In his introduction to the new English translation of Schnitzler’s Dream Story (), Frederic Raphael sees Schnitzler not only as a Viennese writer; rather “Schnitzler belongs inextricably to mittel-Europa” (xii).

  • ENGLISH DOSSIER DE PRESSE Stanley Kubrick
    “If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed. A director is a kind of idea and taste machine ; a movie is a series of creative and technical decisions, and it‘s the director‘s job to make the right decisions as frequently as possible.” EDITORIAL Our flagship exhibition in 2011 is devoted to Stanley Kubrick (from 23 March to 31 July). It is the first time that La Cinémathèque française hosts a travelling exhibition not initiated by our teams but by those of another institution. This Kubrick exhibition owes its existence to the Deutsches Filmmuseum in Frankfurt and to Hans- Peter Reichmann, its Curator, who designed it in 2004 in close collaboration with Christiane Kubrick, Jan Harlan and The Stanley Kubrick Archive in London. Since 2004, the exhibition has opened with success in several cities: Berlin, Zurich, Gand, Rome and Melbourne, before coming to the Cinémathèque. The archives of Stanley Kubrick contain numerous and precious working documents: scenarios, correspondences, research documents, photos of film shoots, costumes and accessories. The exhibition, film after film, includes the unfinished projects: the Napoleon that Kubrick hoped to direct and his project for a film on the death camps, Aryan Papers . These materials allow us to get backstage and better understand the narrative and technical intentions of the director who was a demigod of world cinema, a secret and fascinating figure. The exhibition will be installed on two floors of the Frank Gehry building, on the 5 th and 7 th storeys, owing to the bulk of the materials exhibited, including large-scale models and interactive digital installations.
