  • Igby Goes Down (2002) Un Adolescente in Cerca Del Senso Dell'esistere
    Igby Goes Down (2002) Un adolescente in cerca del senso dell'esistere. Un film di Burr Steers con Kieran Culkin, Claire Danes, Jeff Goldblum, Jared Harris, Amanda Peet, Ryan Phillippe, Bill Pullman, Susan Sarandon. Genere Commedia durata 97 minuti. Produzione USA 2002. Igby, uno strano ragazzo diciassettenne, vive con la madre malata di cancro e il padre schizofrenico... Giancarlo Zappoli - www.mymovies.it Igby si fa cacciare da tutti i licei e sua madre decide di iscriverlo all'Accademia militare ma anche questo non serve a metterlo in riga. Perché Igby ha un padre ormai ricoverato da tempo in una casa di cura per disturbi psichici, un fratello che riesce in tutto e un padrino, D.H., che lo tratta con generosa supponenza. L'amore per una ragazza più grande sembra aprirgli delle prospettive più rosee ma la precarietà (anche sentimentale) sembra difficile da debellare. Kieran Culkin riesce con classe a sfuggire al cono d'ombra proiettato dall'ingombrante fratello Macaulay grazie a una sceneggiatura efficace e a un cast di comprimari di alto livello. A partire da Susan Sarandon che disegna il personaggio di una donna impegnata a svuotare di senso la vita del marito e del figlio. Il film si apre con la scena in cui i due fratelli uccidono la madre per soffocamento. Si tratta di un delitto dettato da rancore filiale o di eutanasia? Lo sapremo solo alla fine. Prima avremo seguito l'annaspante vita di Igby (neppure il nome è suo) costretto a cercare di sopravvivere a un mondo di adulti troppo ripiegati su se stessi per donargli veramente qualcosa.

  • Final Thesis
    Louise FitzGerald Negotiating Lone Motherhood: Gender, Politics and Family Values in Contemporary Popular Cinema. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Film and Television Studies University of East Anglia 21 st August 2009 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author, and that no quotation from the thesis, nor information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. 1 Abstract In 2001, four out of the five Academy Award nominations for best actress went to women who played the role of a lone mother, Juliette Binoche for Chocolat ( Lasse Hallsttrom : 2000) Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich (Steven Soderbergh: 2000), Laura Linney for You Can Count on Me (Kenneth Lonnergan: 2000) and Ellen Burstyn for Requiem for A Dream (Darren Aronofsky: 2000). The fact that these four films each prioritized a narrative of lone motherhood became a point of interest for cultural observers who saw the popularization of lone mother narratives as indicative of mainstream cinema’s policy of inclusion and diversity and reflective of a broader political acceptance of lone motherhood. And yet, despite the phenomenal political and cultural significance of the lone mother figure, little academic attention has been paid to the cultural prioritization of this oftentimes demonized female figure. This thesis offers a critical account of the cultural investment in mainstream cinema’s lone mother figure to argue that she plays a crucial role in shoring up postfeminist, neo- liberal and neo-conservative family values rhetoric in ways which highlight the exclusions on which postfeminism thrives.

  • Gore Vidal and the Cinema Laurence Raw Throughout His Writing Life
    Journal of American Studies of Turkey 35-36 (2012): 111-132 Gore Vidal and the Cinema Laurence Raw Throughout his writing life Gore Vidal had an ambivalent relationship with the world of films in general, and Hollywood in particular. On the one hand he understood how Hollywood was a dominant cultural force in twentieth century American cultures, helping to shape people’s beliefs as well as embodying changing political moods. One character remarks in his novel Hollywood (1989): “We [Hollywood producers] are now supplying the world with all sorts of dreams and ideas. Well, why don’t we shape these dreams, deliberately?” (Vidal, Hollywood 447).1 On the other hand Vidal tended to dismiss his film and television work - as screenplay writer, actor, or provider of source-texts for adaptation – as insignificant, undertaken mostly for financial purposes. In the mid- 1960s he wrote to his friend Fred [F. W.] Dupee: “I don’t know whether or not this sort of career is a sign of masochism” (qtd. Kaplan 541). This lack of enthusiasm was perhaps justified, given Vidal’s painful experiences of working in films. The Left Handed Gun (1958), a version of his successful television play The Death of Billy the Kid (1955), was almost completely rewritten by screenwriter Leslie Stevens, prompting Vidal to threaten withdrawal from the entire project. Although given screen credit, he refused to have anything to do with the finished product, apart from collecting the money due to him. He worked on an adaptation of Dominique Lapierre’s best-selling Is Paris Burning? (1966), and complained: “I was stuck there [in Paris] trying to rewrite an unactable script.
