    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

As time Paulo Antonio Paranaguti went by, this cinema has become doubly important. Firstly, because it showed images of the Revolution that no literary practice could match. Secondly, because its faithfulness to the geographic and chronological sequence of events and its desire to record 'historical events' was a local vernacular form of presenting newsreels ...

  • The Cinema of Jean Eustache
    Film Programs No Wave: The Cinema of Jean Eustache October 4, 2008 - October 22, 2008 “You have to record things; whether they’re pretty or not, they’re important.”—Jean Eustache The rigorous and pitilessly personal work of Jean Eustache (1938–1981) investigates and illustrates the mutual influence between cinema and life. “An ethnologist of his own reality” (Serge Daney), Eustache documented the The Mother and the Whore, October 4 archaic rituals of the French provinces and the mating habits of post-1968 Parisians with the same detached fascination. His experience was the raw material for narratives that are both unvarnished and tightly scripted, including the centerpiece of his career, The Mother and the Whore (1973), a scathing record of sexual misbehavior filmed in his own apartment. His approach explores and finally disregards the distinction between documentary and fiction; reality is just another genre. “I have no point of view; I am my point of view,” he said. And: “The films I made are as autobiographical as fiction can be.” Born in Pessac, near Bordeaux, and reared by his grandmother until being sent to live with his mother in coastal Narbonne—a shift depicted in My Little Loves (1975)—Eustache eventually made his way to Paris. There he began frequenting the offices of Cahiers du cinéma, where his wife was a secretary; the films of Cahiers editor Eric Rohmer were among Eustache’s early inspirations. Working alongside the New Wave, Eustache was never exactly a part of it; his status as a working-class provincial autodidact and his relentless skepticism about all faiths, including the creeds of bohemianism and progressive politics, marked him as a perennial outsider.
