The agency, Re/Max 1st Choice Re- alty at 8112 Third Ave., and its broker, Jeanne DeLorenzo, ignited a storm when elected officials and homeowners were alerted to the 1-3/4-inch by 2-1/4- inch notice. As the city is weighing new zoning laws to protect houses like the one Re/Max 1st Choice is advertising, some viewed the ad’s text as the height of chutzpah.

  • A Certain Tendency of the French Cinema Francois Truffaut
    A CERTAIN TENDENCY OF THE FRENCH CINEMA FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT These notes have no other object than to attempt to define a certain tendency of the French cinema - a tendency called "psychological realism" - and to sketch its limits. If the French cinema exists by means of about a hundred films a year, it is well understood that only ten or twelve merit the attention of critics and cinephiles, the attention, therefore of "Cahiers." These ten or twelve films constitute what has been prettily named the "Tradition of Quality"; they force, by their ambitiousness, the admiration of the foreign press, defend the French flag twice a year at Cannes and at Venice where, since 1946, they regularly carry off medals, golden lions and grands prix. With the advent of "talkies," the French cinema was a frank plagiarism of the American cinema. Under the influence of Scarface, we made the amusing Pepe Le Moko. Then the French scenario is most clearly obliged to Prevert for its evolution: Quai Des Brumes (Port Of Shadows) remains the masterpiece of poetic realism. The war and the post-war period renewed our cinema. It evolved under the effect of an internal pressure and for poetic realism - about which one might say that it died closing Les Portes De La Nuit behind it - was substituted psychological realism, illustrated by Claude Autant-Lara, Jean Dellannoy, Rene Clement, Yves Allegret and Marcel Pagliero. SCENARISTS' FILMS If one is willing to remember that not so long ago Delannoy filmed Le Bossu and La Part De L'Ombre, Claude Autant-Lara Le Plombier Amoureux and Lettres D Amour, Yves Allegret La Boite Aux Reves and Les Demons De L’Aube, that all these films are justly recognized as strictly commercial enterprises, one will admit that, the successes or failures of these cineastes being a function of the scenarios they chose, La Symphonie Pastorale, Le Diable Au Corps (Devil In The Flesh), Jeux Interdits (Forbidden Games), Maneges, Un Homme Marche Dans La Ville, are essentially scenarists' films.

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).

Skirball Series $10.00 [members $8.00] Henri-Georges Clouzot and the Aesthetics of the Sixties Reflections on La Vérité France, 1960, 35mm, 127 min. Program curated by Martha Kirszenbaum and Bérénice Reynaud In conversation with the joint exhibitions La Fin de la Nuit at Palais de Tokyo in Paris and The End of the Night at LACE in Los Angeles, this panel discussion on the controversial French auteur Henri-Georges Clouzot and his contribution to the aesthetics of the 1960s centers around a screening of his intriguing film, La Vérité (1960 Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner for Best Foreign Language Film). A showcase for the alluring physical presence of the biggest French star of the time, Brigitte Bardot—who transforms from pouting sex kitten to grand tragedienne—La Vérité is loosely inspired by a notorious “crime of passion” case. With his stern and masterful direction of Bardot, Clouzot creates another unforgettable, yet contradictory, sexual icon for the Swinging Sixties. In person: curators Martha Kirszenbaum and Bérénice Reynaud, film scholar Janet Bergstrom, artist/filmmaker William E. Jones and CalArts Critical Studies faculty Christine Wertheim. 35mm print courtesy of Sony Pictures “In the midst of the ‘New Wave’ explosion, one of the most admirable French directors secured the services of a sex symbol, Brigitte Bardot, to portray a puritanical and hypocritical society, devoid of compassion for the monsters it had begotten. The remarkable precision and ruthless irony of the film allows French cinema’s most famous doll to distinguish herself in a beautiful dramatic performance.” – Critikat “A close look at La Vérité can put into play a frisson every bit as biting as those other works touted for avant-garde stardom.
