  • The Use of Songs in Films by Claude Lelouch: a Comprehensive Typology Jérôme Rossi (Nantes)
    The Use of Songs in Films by Claude Lelouch: A Comprehensive Typology Jérôme Rossi (Nantes) Claude Lelouch became part of the history of cinema at the age of twenty- nine, when he won a Palme d’Or and the Academy Award for the best foreign film in 1966 with UN HOMME ET UNE FEMME. He directed forty- four movies after that1. The sincerity, exceptional longevity and abundant production of Claude Lelouch’s works have – no offense to some critics – built a unique, although uneven work, where coherence and unity were undeniable. Yves Alion and Jean Olle-Laprune state: We feel that, even after reviewing his films again and again, we haven’t even opened all the doors of possibilities that his work offers. We still haven’t gone tired of exploring a world whose richness and complexity are now becoming clearer to us. We are proud to place Claude Lelouch among the greatest of our cinema, along with Jean Renoir, Henri-Georges Clouzot, François Truffaut and Claude Sautet to name only a few. (Alion/Olle-Laprune 2005) If we look at his filmography, it appears that with the exception of two films, all of Lelouch’s movies have at least one song in them. But what strikes us most beyond this constant use of songs, is the variety of his use of songs. I will first describe the musical composition method and then expose a typology which can describe the different aspects of his ability to handle songs in films. 1 See Rossi 2016 for an overview of songscoring evolution in Lelouch’s films.

The U.S. remained the number 1 source of films (57%), ahead of Germany, whose market share nevertheless picked up by 0.7%. The number of French films programmed on the public broadcasters ceased to decline this year, and even increased on several regional channels. ZDF remained the leading broadcaster of French films. This channel ramped up its share of movie programming devoted to French fare, running at 15%, against 13% in 1997. It successfully reran l’Ange noir, and presented le Garçu and Toxic affaire, as well as a number of classics such as les Seins de glace, Don Camillo Monseigneur and la Guerre des polices. Since 1995, the number of films shown on ARD had dwindled. It stabilized in 1998 at 67 titles, with a host of recent titles including Élisa, la Fleur de mon secret, L. 627 and les Apprentis. Regional public channels saw an uptrend: up 6 titles on Bayern 3, up 10 on West 3 and up 19 on B1 in Berlin. Among the commercial channels, TM 3 outstripped Vox in the number of French titles scheduled: it programmed 78, 13 more than in 1997. This channel (owned by the TeleMûnchen Group) broadcast essentially catalogue films, and devoted 28% of film slots to French fare, an all-time high in Germany.

  • Iu3a Classic Film Group Autumn Programme 2016
    iU3A Classic Film Group Autumn Programme 2016-17 4th October Matrimonio all'italiana (Marriage Italian Style) Italy/1964 94 mins Director: Vittorio De Sica Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren An Italian classic from 1964 with director De Sica and beautiful stars Loren and Mastroianni at the top of their game. Over a twenty-year period, beginning during the latter days of WWII and initially a farce, this film develops into a beautifully-played tragi-comedy about the battle of the sexes and paternal responsibility. Sophia Loren, subtly ageing from seventeen-year-old prostitute to care-worn, middle-aged former mistress who has her day, is amazing. She was rightly nominated here for a second Best Actress Oscar. 18th October Song of Summer and Elgar (excerpts from the latter) UK/ 1968/1962 73 mins/55 mins Director: Ken Russell Ken Russell was the enfant terrible of late 60s/early 70s British cinema. Fuelled by studio money and artistic freedom after the box-office success of Women in Love, he went – to many minds - seriously off the rails with The Devils, The Music Lovers, Mahler, Lisztomania and Tommy. Our look at Russell is when he was in more understated mode, constrained by budget and, creatively, by Huw Weldon and the BBC's Monitor and Omnibus programmes for whom he made the films on today's iU3A Classic Film programme. Song of Summer: Frederick Delius is about the expatriate British composer's last five years and in particular his relationship with his amanuensis, Eric Fenby (Christopher Gable). Max Adrian plays the blind, terminally-ill Delius, and there's a lovely turn by Maureen Pryor as his long-suffering German wife, Jelka.

  • Sabrina Down Under Music Credits
    Music by Michel Colombier Music Editor Stan Jones Music in the film: One of the plot points in the film is that gormless Jerome (Conrad Coleby) sings an excruciating song for a talent quest as a mock-up merman (and wins), and then at the climax of the film, is called on to reprise his merman performance in order to distract the media, the scheming resort manager, rogue scientists, etc. away from the real merman swimming in the resort pool: Lyrics: See the bottom of this site's 'about the film' section for the lyrics of three songs which were altered to facilitate the film's DVD release. Composer Michel Colombier: Colombier, who died in 2004, has a reasonably detailed wiki listing here. Here are three obituaries prepared for Colombier. The first, by Myrna Oliver, ran in The Los Angeles Times on 17th November 2004, under the header Michel Colombier, 65; Composer Was Known for His Versatility (here): Michel Colombier, the prolific French-born composer who scored more than 100 motion pictures and television productions including “White Nights,” “Against All Odds,” and “Purple Rain,” has died. He was 65. Colombier, who also composed chamber music pieces and more than 20 ballets, died Sunday of cancer at his home in Santa Monica. Often called the “godfather of French fusion” or, in Japan, “Fusion- sama,” Colombier was extremely versatile, whether a script called for classical music, jazz, rock, soul or his own innovative meshing of genres. He spun out the appropriate classical phrases for Mikhail Baryshnikov’s ballet steps in “White Nights” and collaborated with Prince on futuristic rock sounds for “Purple Rain” with equal aplomb.
