  • The Phenomenological Aesthetics of the French Action Film
    Les Sensations fortes: The phenomenological aesthetics of the French action film DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Alexander Roesch Graduate Program in French and Italian The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Flinn, Advisor Patrick Bray Dana Renga Copyrighted by Matthew Alexander Roesch 2017 Abstract This dissertation treats les sensations fortes, or “thrills”, that can be accessed through the experience of viewing a French action film. Throughout the last few decades, French cinema has produced an increasing number of “genre” films, a trend that is remarked by the appearance of more generic variety and the increased labeling of these films – as generic variety – in France. Regardless of the critical or even public support for these projects, these films engage in a spectatorial experience that is unique to the action genre. But how do these films accomplish their experiential phenomenology? Starting with the appearance of Luc Besson in the 1980s, and following with the increased hybrid mixing of the genre with other popular genres, as well as the recurrence of sequels in the 2000s and 2010s, action films portray a growing emphasis on the importance of the film experience and its relation to everyday life. Rather than being direct copies of Hollywood or Hong Kong action cinema, French films are uniquely sensational based on their spectacular visuals, their narrative tendencies, and their presentation of the corporeal form. Relying on a phenomenological examination of the action film filtered through the philosophical texts of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur, Mikel Dufrenne, and Jean- Luc Marion, in this dissertation I show that French action cinema is pre-eminently concerned with the thrill that comes from the experience, and less concerned with a ii political or ideological commentary on the state of French culture or cinema.

For the last three years, he's led a peaceful life devoting himself to his wife and two children. Then, one winter morning, he's left for dead in the parking garage in Marseille's Old Port, with 22 bullets in his body. Against all the odds, he doesn't die... This film is a work of fiction inspired by real‐life events in the world of the Marseille mafia. INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD BERRY What made you want to adapt Franz‐Olivier Giesbert's book? In the same way that comedy is an incredible vehicle for certain ideas, thrillers can also give you pause to reflect on certain issues. In the story of a guy, who was allegedly a mafia godfather in Marseille, who was left for dead in 1977 in a parking lot in Cassis, but who survived the shooting earning himself the nickname "The Immortal", I saw an incredibly strong subject and an amazing adventure.

  • Thomas Vinterberg Film
    LUC BESSON PRESENTS MATTHIAS LÉA COLIN SCHOENAERTS SEYDOUX FIRTH A THOMAS VINTERBERG FILM COMING SOON SYNOPSIS Kursk is inspired by the unforgettable true story of the K-141 Kursk, a Russian flagship nuclear-powered submarine that sank to the bottom of the Barents Sea in August 2000. As 23 sailors fought for survival aboard the disabled sub, their families desperately battled bureaucratic obstacles and impossible odds to find answers and save them. 2 THE KURSK TRAGEDY On August 10, 2000, Kursk — a submarine twice the size of a jumbo jet and longer than two football fields, the “unsinkable” pride of the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet — embarked upon a naval exercise. It was their first exercise in a decade and the maneuvers entailed 30 ships and three submarines. Two days later, two internal explosions, powerful enough to register on seismographs as far away as Alaska, sent the ship to the bottom of the Arctic waters of the Barents Sea. At least 23 of the 118 sailors aboard survived the explosions. Over the next nine days, the entire world was on tenterhooks, as rescue operations faltered and foreign assistance was refused. The fate of the men aboard hung in the balance. Journalist Robert Moore’s book A Time to Die: The Untold Story of the Kursk Tragedy scrupulously dissects all the forensic evidence and every agonizing moment on the final hours in the lives of those doomed sailors. 3 PRODUCTION NOTES FROM BOOK TO SCREEN recalls. “But one thing that stayed with me, from the what happened. They all died. So we surrounded news coverage, was the tapping.

  • Charity and Compassion in Luc Besson's Space Operas The
    religions Article Love Thy Extra-Terrestrial Neighbour: Charity and Compassion in Luc Besson’s Space Operas The Fifth Element (1997) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) Sylvie Magerstädt School of Humanities, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, Herts AL10 9EU, UK; [email protected] Received: 13 August 2018; Accepted: 20 September 2018; Published: 27 September 2018 Abstract: The role of romantic love in cinema–and its redeeming aspects–has been extensively explored in film studies and beyond. However, non-romantic aspects of love, especially love for the neighbour, have not yet received as much attention. This is particularly true when looking at mainstream science fiction cinema. This is surprising as the interstellar outlook of many of these films and consequently the interaction with a whole range of new ‘neighbours’ raises an entirely new set of challenges. In this article, the author explores these issues with regard to Luc Besson’s science fiction spectacles The Fifth Element (1997) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017). Both films have divided fans and critics and it is indeed easy to dismiss them as mere spectacle with little depth or message, as many reviewers have done. Yet, as this article demonstrates, beneath their shiny, colourful surface, both films make a distinct contribution to the theme of neighbourly love. What is more, Besson’s films often seem to develop a close link between more common notions of romantic love and agapic forms of love and thus offer a perspective of exploring our relationship to the alien as our neighbour.

  • Ground Breaking with Luc Besson at Europa-Park
    Ground Breaking with Luc Besson at Europa-Park The secret has finally been revealed! Just as the most successful summer season in its history draws to a close, Europa-Park has announced the launch of a new major project: “Arthur and the Invisibles” will be moving into Germany’s largest theme park! Europa-Park is breaking new ground! The construction site for the largest and most elaborate indoor attraction in the theme park’s history was recently opened with a symbolic ground-breaking ceremony. The French star director Luc Besson, known for his movie projects such as “The Big Blue”, “Léon: The Professional”, and “The Fifth Element”, traveled from Paris especially to begin the construction work with the Mack family. The French film production company EuropaCorp began working with Europa-Park as early as March last year. EuropaCorp and Luc Besson are both delighted about the joint project, which will open in 2014. With this concept, Europa-Park is following an international trend for large theme parks to enter into long-term partnerships with companies from the film industry. For instance, in 2010, Universal Orlando Resort enjoyed phenomenal success with the opening of its themed area “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter”, and the hype surrounding Harry Potter helped Universal achieve a record year. Renowned trade publications consider this kind of partnership to be the recipe for success in the future. This partnership is not least with regards to the rapidly growing French market. During the 2012 season, the greatest growth within one visitor group was experienced among visitors from France.
