  • 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.

  • Joyeux Noel Autumn
    keswick film Autumn club joyeux Noel Season 2009 a world of cinema Review by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat: In the opening scenes of this French film written and directed by Christian Carion, school boys in France, England, and Germany recite phrases they have been taught about the glories of their country and the scourge of their enemies. In this brief scene we see how people are brainwashed to see war as just and to believe that God is on their side. Add to this the perception that by going to war young men are protecting their families and their land, and it's easy to understand the enthusiasm that can sweep through a community at the outbreak of conflict. In 1914 Scottish brothers William (Robin Laing) and Jonathan (Steven Robertson) excitedly enlist to fight in World War I; they are looking forward to what they regard as an adventure. Palmer (Gary Lewis), their Anglican minister, goes to the front with them as a stretcher-bearer. In Berlin, Germany, a military official interrupts a performance at the opera house to announce that the country is at war. Tenor Nikolaus Sprink (Benno Furmann; songs performed by Rolando Villazon) is drafted; his lover, Anna Sorensen (Diane Kruger; songs performed by Rolando Villazon), a famous soprano, knows that their lives will never be the same again. Meanwhile, French Lieutenant Audebert (Guillaume Canet) prepares to leave for the front lines without knowing whether his wife, left in German territory, has given birth to their child. None of these men is prepared for the senseless barbarity of what is to come.

  • Joyeux Noel by the First Winter of World War I, the Lines of The
    Joyeux Noel By the first winter of World War I, the lines of the Western Front in Belgium and France had hardened into grim trenches while the fighting stalled preparatory to a period called the “Christmas Truce.” One vision of what happened to one group of soldiers in those trenches at that time is depicted in the new French film by Christian Carion called Joyeux Noel (“Merry Christmas”) a most sympathetic look at a soft side of men in battle (the film, in French, German, and English, opened March 24 at the E Street Cinema in Washington). Joyeux Noel, after some introductory scenes, gets us quickly to the stagnant battle field, where we witness a trio of antagonists. A French unit, led by a homesick young Lt. Andebert (Guillaume Canet), is dug in and dreading another order to advance. On their flank, a Scottish regiment, lead by Lt. Gordon (Alex Ferns), is under pressure from a senior officer, but its overall spirit is embodied by an earnest stretcher bearer, the Anglican priest Palmer (Gary Lewis), who feels responsible for young lads who’ve signed up for the fray. The German enemy trench is only yards away (in what appears to be French no-man’s- land) and led by a non-nonsense Jewish officer Horstmayer (Daniel Brühl). Among the German infantrymen is one of Europe’s great singers, the tenor Nicholas Spink (Benno Fürmann), who shares his fame with his Swedish soprano wife Anna Sorenson (Diana Kruger). It’s Christmas Eve and all the antagonists on both sides are already weary of war and thinking inevitably of home and its benign pleasures.

Circle unfamiliar words, draw arrows to make connections within the text, use exclamation points & question marks in the margin, and label examples (EX). The Christmas Truce of 1914 One hundred and one years ago on Christmas 1914, an event took place that may be considered as one of the most extraordinary moments in the history of modern warfare. In northern France, along 440-mile network of trenches separating the German army from its French and British enemies, soldiers on both sides stopped fighting. War Erupts A few months earlier in August 1914 a titanic clash of armies began. For years Germany had been planning to invade France, and after a quick victory, send troops to defeat Russia before the “Russian Bear” could become a serious rival to Germany. The time to carry out these plans came unexpectedly when Serbian nationalists assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne. Germany, Russia, France, and then England were drawn into the conflict. This war, which would come to be known as the Great War, was supposed to be over before Christmas. Instead of a swift victory for one side, the war became a virtual stalemate as both sides literally “dug in” by creating miles of defensive trenches—long narrow pits from which soldiers could fire machine guns at an attacking enemy. Neither side could gain an advantage against an entrenched enemy. The space that separated enemy lines (sometimes as little as a hundred yards distance) was filled with barbed wire and was dubbed “no man’s land.” Occasionally one side or the other would attempt an infantry charge.
