  • La Scorta Dear Moviegoer, Are You Tired of the Explosions and Broken
    La Scorta Dear Moviegoer, are you tired of the explosions and broken glass of True Lies , Speed, Blown Away, and Clear and Present Danger ? Weary of the cartoon characters and cartoon plots of movies like Maverick,The Mask, or Baby’s Day Out ? Ready for some real adult (no, I don’t mean that kind of “adult”) entertainment with real tension, pace and motivation which is modeled carefully on actual events? Then try La Scorta (“The Escort”), an outstanding Italian film from a director who is one to watch. La Scorta, directed by Ricky Tognazzi, is as fresh and vivid as the Italian crime headlines of the last few years, due in great part to its being based on the real experiences of one Francesco Taurisano as an investigating magistrate (called a “judge” in the sub-titles) in Sicily during the late 1980’s. It is such judges, at least the honorable ones, who have become the target of Mafia hit men as they plumbed closer and closer to the heart of Cosa Nostra operations. The most infamous of these assassinations was that of the anti-Mafia Judge Giovanni Falcone, killed in a car bomb in May 1992. This is not, then, a world of facile and meaningless blow-’em-ups where Schwarzenegger or Stallone dwell, but the real, nasty thing, happening in one of Europe’s established democracies. The film follows four policemen who find themselves assigned as the protective escort for one of these investigating magistrates working in the town of Trapani, in the far northwest corner of Sicily.

  • 43E Festival International Du Film De La Rochelle Du 26 Juin Au 5 Juillet 2015 Le Puzzle Des Cinémas Du Monde
    43e Festival International du Film de La Rochelle du 26 juin au 5 juillet 2015 LE PUZZLE DES CINÉMAS DU MONDE Une fois de plus nous revient l’impossible tâche de synthétiser une édition multiforme, tant par le nombre de films présentés que par les contextes dans lesquels ils ont été conçus. Nous ne pouvons nous résoudre à en sélectionner beaucoup moins, ce n’est pas faute d’essayer, et de toutes manières, un contexte économique plutôt inquiétant nous y contraint ; mais qu’une ou plusieurs pièces essentielles viennent à manquer au puzzle mental dont nous tentons, à l’année, de joindre les pièces irrégulières, et le Festival nous paraîtrait bancal. Finalement, ce qui rassemble tous ces films, qu’ils soient encore matériels ou virtuels (50/50), c’est nous, sélectionneuses au long cours. Nous souhaitons proposer aux spectateurs un panorama généreux de la chose filmique, cohérent, harmonieux, digne, sincère, quoique, la sincérité… Ambitieux aussi car nous aimons plus que tout les cinéastes qui prennent des risques et notre devise secrète pourrait bien être : mieux vaut un bon film raté qu’un mauvais film réussi. Et enfin, il nous plaît que les films se parlent, se rencontrent, s’éclairent les uns les autres et entrent en résonance dans l’esprit du festivalier. En 2015, nous avons procédé à un rééquilibrage géographique vers l’Asie, absente depuis plusieurs éditions de la programmation. Tout d’abord, avec le grand Hou Hsiao-hsien qui en est un digne représentant puisqu’il a tourné non seulement à Taïwan, son île natale mais aussi au Japon, à Hongkong et en Chine.

    Mike Traina, professor Petaluma office #674, (707) 778-3687 Hours: Tues 3-5pm, Wed 2-5pm [email protected] Additional days by appointment Media 10: Film Appreciation Wednesdays 6-10pm in the Carole L. Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

  • Issue #72 Summer / Fall 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (Part 2) a Man, a Colt the MGM Rolling Road Show Latest DVD Reviews
    Issue #72 Summer / Fall 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (part 2) A Man, a Colt The MGM Rolling Road Show Latest DVD Reviews WAI! #72 THE SWINGIN’ DOORS April and May were months that took a number of well known actors of the Spaghetti western genre: Jacques Berthier, Robert Hundar, John Phillip Law and Tano Cimarosa were all well known names in the genre. Of course we should expect as much since these people are now well into their 70s and even 80s. Still in our minds they are young vibrant actors who we see over and over again on video and DVD. It’s hard to realize that it’s been 40+ years since Sergio Leone kicked off the Spaghetti western craze and launched a world wide revolution in film that we still see influencing films today. Hard to believe Clint Eastwood turned 78 on May 30th. Seems like only yesterday he was the ‘Man with No Name’ and starring in the first of the Leone films that launched the genre. Remember when Clint was criticized so badly as an actor and for the films he appeared in during the 60s and 70s. Now he’s revered in Hollywood because he’s outlived his critics. I guess we recognized a real star long before the critics did. A great idea came to Tim League’s mind in the launching of the “Rolling Road Show”, where films are actually shown where they were filmed. I wasn’t able to travel to Spain to see the Dollars trilogy but we have a nice review of the films and the experience by someone who was there.

  • La Cultura Italiana
    LA CULTURA ITALIANA FEDERICO FELLINI (1920-1993) This month’s essay continues a theme that several prior essays discussed concerning fa- mous Italian film directors of the post-World War II era. We earlier discussed Neorealism as the film genre of these directors. The director we are considering in this essay both worked in that genre and carried it beyond its limits to develop an approach that moved Neoreal- ism to a new level. Over the decades of the latter-half of the 20th century, his films became increasingly original and subjective, and consequently more controversial and less commercial. His style evolved from Neorealism to fanciful Neorealism to surrealism, in which he discarded narrative story lines for free-flowing, free-wheeling memoirs. Throughout his career, he focused on his per- sonal vision of society and his preoccupation with the relationships between men and women and between sex and love. An avowed anticleric, he was also deeply concerned with personal guilt and alienation. His films are spiced with artifice (masks, masquerades and circuses), startling faces, the rococo and the outlandish, the prisms through which he sometimes viewed life. But as Vincent Canby, the chief film critic of The New York Times, observed in 1985: “What’s important are not the prisms, though they are arresting, but the world he shows us: a place whose spectacularly grand, studio-built artificiality makes us see the interior truth of what is taken to be the ‘real’ world outside, which is a circus.” In addition to his achievements in this regard, we are also con- sidering him because of the 100th anniversary of his birth.

  • Riflessi Di Fellini-Satyricon Nella Stampa Periodica Illustrata Contemporanea*
    RIFLESSI DI FELLINI-SATYRICON NELLA STAMPA PERIODICA ILLUSTRATA CONTEMPORANEA* di Raffaele De Berti Il ruolo della stampa nel creare attese e suscitare curiosità nel pubbli- co per sollecitarlo alla visione di un film è un fenomeno già presente nei primi decenni della storia della cinematografia, quando nascono le rivi- ste di cinema, e con gli efficienti uffici stampa delle case di produzione, soprattutto hollywoodiane, che fin dagli anni Venti passano notizie e immagini ai giornali di tutto il mondo. Si è così creato un rapporto di reciproca interazione fra media, nel quale la stampa “sfrutta” il cinema e i diversi personaggi che vi gravitano attorno (attori, registi, produttori ecc.) per interessare i propri lettori e aumentare la tiratura; mentre, nello stesso tempo, il cinema usa la stampa passando anticipazioni più o meno vere di quanto sta accadendo sul set di un film, magari creando ad arte anche situazioni scandalistiche per influenzare le scelte degli spettatori e attirarne il numero maggiore possibile all’uscita della pellicola. In genere si studia la fortuna critica di un film dalla sua prima pro- iezione, mentre più raramente ci si occupa di ricostruire la campagna di stampa che ne ha preceduto l’uscita ma che può, invece, aver contribui- to in modo decisivo a raggiungere alte cifre d’incasso. Naturalmente non si tratta di un meccanismo automatico di causa-effetto, per cui il succes- so è assicurato a fronte di un grande spiegamento dei mezzi di stampa o, più in generale, dei mass-media quando sono progressivamente entrati nella “catena mediatica” radio, tv e internet, ma nei singoli casi entrano in gioco fattori specifici, ad esempio legati al contesto culturale e socia- * Il presente lavoro riprende in parte DE BERTI 2007.

  • Malena Every Few Years Or So, a Modest Italian Movie Sidles Into
    Malena Every few years or so, a modest Italian movie sidles into public consciousness and, through word of mouth, goes mainstream, enough so that even the multiplex masses are reading subtitles. In 1991 there was the Academy Award winner Mediterraneo which did good business. In 1995, Il Postino (The Postman) did even better, earning more money in the U.S. than any previous foreign-language film. In 1998, La Vita é Bella (Life is Beautiful) did even better boxoffice. One could say that this string of Italian hits began little more than ten years ago with Giuseppe Tornatore’s charming tale of Sicily Cinema Paradiso. Tornatore, a Sicilian himself (see interview below) has now returned with another Sicilian period piece, Malena, hoping no doubt for another success in the American. The film tells the story of the gloriously beautiful Malena Scordia (Monica Bellucci) during the early 1940’s in the Sicilian town (fictitious) of Castelcuto. Impeccably dressed but genuinely modest, she has every man in town panting for her and every woman in town despising her. Her husband is away at war, after all, and nobody has the right to look that good. Observing Malena from a distance--and worshiping her--is 13-year-old Renato (Giuseppe Sulfaro) who dreams of being her protector and who follows her every move (including spying on her home). After receiving word of the death of her husband, and after her doddering father comes to believe the worst rumors about her, Malena is left alone and destitute. She gradually yields to the inevitable male advances and eventually becomes a high-priced call girl for the occupying German troops.
