  • The Capra Touch: Nostalgia Culture in American Film by Laura Crossley
    The Capra Touch: Nostalgia culture in American film By Laura Crossley Keywords: nostalgia, American film, Frank Capra, Robert Riskin, The American President, Dave, Blast from the Past, Pleasantville ‘This is my first time at the White House. I’m trying to savour the Capra-esque quality.’ – The American President (1995) The above quote from Rob Reiner’s 1995 film The American President is both a reference to the screwball comedies and political films of Frank Capra, but also draws attention to the fact that The American President itself is both a political film and a romantic comedy, that in itself mobilizes motifs, thematics and character types recognizable from the Capra/Robert Riskin works of the 1930s and 1940s. As Vito Zaggario – and numerous other film critics and theorists have pointed out – there has been an abundance of Caprian references and narratives in films from the 1980s and then with even more frequency in the 1990s, with examples such as The Hudsucker Proxy (1994), Fearless (1993) and It Could Happen to You (1994). These films play with notions of both the historical and cinematic past, raising questions about historicity and both cultural and genre memory. In critical terms, the films have frequently been discussed in terms of pastiche and postmodernism. Frederic Jameson (1991) has coined the label ‘nostalgia films’ for the cinematic works that mobilize visions or certain moments of the past. In his formulation, however, ‘nostalgia films’ are presented as blank parodies, which strip history of politics. Nostalgia is generally defined as a yearning for a past period. It is my contention, however, that the films in themselves do not promulgate a yearning for the past, but evoke the characters and tropes of a romanticized past in order to comment upon both that past and the present.

  • La Locura Del Dólar El Relato De La Vida Económica En American Madness (1932), De Frank Capra
    SCIO. Revista de Filosofía, n.º 13, Noviembre de 2017, 121-154, ISSN: 1887-9853 LA LOCURA DEL DÓLAR EL RELATO DE LA VIDA ECONÓMICA EN AMERICAN MADNESS (1932), DE FRANK CAPRA THE MADNESS OF THE DOLLAR THE STORY OF ECONOMIC LIFE IN AMERICAN MADNESS, (1932) BY FRANK CAPRA José Alfredo Peris Cancioa y José Sanmartín Espluguesb Fechas de recepción y aceptación: 7 de junio de 2017, 13 de septiembre de 2017 Resumen: El cine clásico de Hollywood de los años treinta y cua- renta fue testigo de la crisis del 29 y sus repercusiones. Un estudio filosófico de este permite descubrir en la filmografía del director Frank Capra luminosos criterios de interpretación. Desde sus primeros títulos, sus películas ponen de manifiesto la relación entre la modernidad, la técnica y la centralidad de la persona. Filmar American Madness (1932) supuso para Capra entrar de lleno en el tema de la reflexión ética sobre la economía, para hacer de ella una lectura moral, y así interpelar la responsabilidad de las personas al considerar la crisis económica como una auténtica bancarrota moral. La capacidad y la libertad de la filo- sofía para ser crítica debe afrontar la necesidad de superar las lecturas economicistas del cine, para descubrir en él no el predicado de un siste- ma productivo, sino un verdadero ejercicio creativo. Y así se descubre en American Madness una muestra del valor de la empatía frente a la crueldad, de la importancia de la comunidad varón/mujer para educarse en dicha empatía, de la continuidad entre el amor esponsalicio y las a Facultad de Filosofía.

  • Fay Wray + Robert Riskin
    Saving Film & Television for Future Generations UCLA Film & Television Archive’s film series, a tribute to Fay Wray + Robert Riskin, opens March 8, 2019 with the original box office record-breaking King Kong (1933) at the Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum in Westwood FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LOS ANGELES, CA, (Feb. 25, 2019) – The UCLA Film & Television Archive presents a classic film series dedicated to actress Fay Wray and screenwriter Robert Riskin, inspired by their daughter Victoria Riskin’s book, Fay Wray and Robert Riskin: A Hollywood Memoir. On March 8 at the Hammer Museum’s Billy Wilder Theater, King Kong is the first of 10 classic films the Archive is screening to highlight the careers of Wray and Riskin. Victoria Riskin, film producer and past president of the Writers Guild of America West, has written a dual biography of her famous parents. Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan wrote of her book, “...one of the great real-life Hollywood love stories… [a] warm, evocative and deeply moving tale.” This Hollywood romance began on the eve of World War II when both the Academy Award-winning screenwriter Riskin and glamorous movie star Wray were in a personal transition. Wray was ending her two-year relationship with playwright Clifford Odets and Riskin had suspended his successful partnership with Frank Capra to dedicate himself full-time to the war effort. Fay Wray began her acting career as a teenager at the end of the silent era in one of its greatest artistic achievements, Erich von Stroheim’s The Wedding March (1928).
