Paris Cinema.1.1
01 02 03 The New Wave Hotel 04 05 Roland-François Lack 06 07 08 09 The association of the French New Wave with the kind of movement through urban 10 space that has been called flânerie is a familiar one. A defamiliarising strategy in this 11 chapter, and in my research more broadly,1 is to examine and occupy the spaces in 12 which New Wave films come to rest, countering a general assumption that cinema is 13 always about movement. The hotel is a peculiarly cinematic stopping place because, it 14 has been argued, it is ‘always already in motion’, a ‘ceaseless flux of reservations, occu- 15 pations and vacancies’.2 By fixing exactly the locations of Paris hotels in New Wave films 16 and by looking closely at the contents of the rooms in those hotels, this chapter will try 17 to resist the appeal of such mobility and fix its gaze firmly on its object, unmoved. The 18 suggestion will be, finally, that the French New Wave is less a cinema of flânerie than 19 it is a cinema of stasis; is as much a cinema of interiors as it is a cinema of the street. 20 What, cinematically, is particular about the New Wave’s use of hotels? New Wave 21 hotels are places of passage, temporary stopping places that signify transience and, in 22 the end, mobility. In her study of cinematic flânerie, Suzanne Liandrat-Guigues defines 23 the cinematographic image as ‘passage’,3 and though she goes on to illustrate the point 24 through New Wave films that follow characters as they walk in streets, fixing on their 25 ‘singular mobility’, here we will be following the New Wave’s characters into spaces 26 where walking is restricted. -
From Honoré De Balzac to Franc¸Ois Truffaut1
The European Legacy, Vol. 9, No. 2, pp. 173–193, 2004 The Human Comedy of Antoine Doinel: From Honore´deBalzac to Franc¸ois Truffaut1 ϳϳ ANER PREMINGER ϳϳ ABSTRACT The focus of this paper is the intertextual relationship between the work of Franc¸ois Truffaut and that of Honore´deBalzac. It explores Balzac’s influence on the shaping of Truffaut’s voice and argues that Balzac’s Human Comedy served Truffaut as a model for some of his cinematic innovations. This applies to Truffaut’s total oeuvre, but particularly to his series of autobiographical films, “The Adventures of Antoine Doinel”: The 400 Blows ( Les Quatre Cents Coups, 1959), Antoine and Colette, Love at Twenty (Antoine et Colette, L’Amour a` Vingt Ans, 1962), Stolen Kisses ( Baisers Vole´s, 1968), Bed and Board ( Domicile Conjugal, 1970), Love on the Run ( L’Amour en Fuite, 1979). In examining Truffaut’s “rewriting” of Balzac, I adopt—and adapt—the intertextual approach of Harold Bloom’s theory of the “anxiety of influence.” My paper applies Bloom’s concept of misreading to an examination of the relationship between Truffaut’s autobiographical films, and Balzac’s Human Comedy, both thematically and structurally. On 21 August 1850, the writer Victor Hugo read a eulogy over the grave of his colleague, the writer Honore´deBalzac. In this eulogy Hugo attempted to sum up Balzac’s contribution to literature in particular and to culture in general. Among other things, Hugo said the following: The name of Balzac will form part of the luminous mark that our period will leave upon the future. -
The Shoah on Screen – Representing Crimes Against Humanity Big Screen, Film-Makers Generally Have to Address the Key Question of Realism
Mémoi In attempting to portray the Holocaust and crimes against humanity on the The Shoah on screen – representing crimes against humanity big screen, film-makers generally have to address the key question of realism. This is both an ethical and an artistic issue. The full range of approaches has emember been adopted, covering documentaries and fiction, historical reconstructions such as Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, depicting reality in all its details, and more symbolic films such as Roberto Benigni’s Life is beautiful. Some films have been very controversial, and it is important to understand why. Is cinema the best way of informing the younger generations about what moire took place, or should this perhaps be left, for example, to CD-Roms, videos Memoi or archive collections? What is the difference between these and the cinema as an art form? Is it possible to inform and appeal to the emotions without being explicit? Is emotion itself, though often very intense, not ambivalent? These are the questions addressed by this book which sets out to show that the cinema, a major art form today, cannot merely depict the horrors of concentration camps but must also nurture greater sensitivity among increas- Mémoire ingly younger audiences, inured by the many images of violence conveyed in the media. ireRemem moireRem The Shoah on screen – www.coe.int Representing crimes The Council of Europe has 47 member states, covering virtually the entire continent of Europe.

Antoine Doinel's Spleen: Truffaut Misreads Baudelaire

The focal point is the fourth Doinel film, Bed and Board (Domicile Conjugal, 1970), and the poem “Spleen IV” in The Flowers of Evil. By applying Aner Preminger’s (Preminger: 2006) cinematic adaptation of Harold Bloom’s “anxiety of influence” theory (Bloom: 1973) and “misreading” concept (Bloom: 1975), I argue that the explicit and implicit references to Baudelaire are not a homage, i.e. -
Two in the Wave
PRESENTS TWO IN THE WAVE Produced & Directed by Emmanuel Laurent Written & Narrated by Antoine De Baecque Press Contact: Rodrigo Brandão (212) 629-6880 ext 12 / [email protected] A Lorber Films Release from Kino Lorber, Inc. 333 WEST 39 STREET • SUITE 503 • NEW YORK, NY • 10018 SYNOPSIS The French New Wave crashed onto international shores when François Truffaut’s debut feature, The 400 Blows, premiered at Cannes in 1959, followed quickly by Jean-Luc Godard’s equally thrilling Breathless, based on a Truffaut story. The two filmmaking rebels, great friends and fellow graduates of the Cahiers du Cinema, for which both wrote extensively, hailed from different sides of the tracks: Truffaut, a poor reform school boy, and Godard, a Swiss haute- bourgeois. Both cast Jean-Pierre Léaud in many of their movies (for Truffaut, as his alter-ego, Antoine Doinel) and led the movement to save Henri Langlois’s job at the Cinemathèque Française in ’68. Two In The Wave poignantly melds revealing period footage of both men (and of Léaud, torn between father-figures) with scenes from some of their greatest films, as it moves inexorably toward their bitter falling-out.

The Adventures of Antoine Doinel
The Adventures of Antoine Doinel Dir: Francois Truffaut, France, 1959, 1962, 1968, 1970 and 1979 A review by Richard Harrison, Norwich City College, UK May 5th, 2004 marks the sixtieth birthday of Jean-Pierre Leaud, perhaps the most famous juvenile in world cinema history. As Antoine Doinel, his rise from pre-pubescent adolescent to fully grown man across five Francois Truffaut films between 1959 and 1979 is chronicled in a luxurious five DVD set from the Criterion Collection. The 400 Blows (1959), Antoine And Colette (1962), Stolen Kisses (1968), Bed And Board (1970) and Love On The Run (1979) provide not only a detailed insight into the cycle’s eponymous star but also a semi- autobiographical portrait of their director. The five DVD set is well packaged, with each film having been painstakingly remastered. The picture quality is outstanding, and reveals the true beauty of the films (compare the films with the short clips that appear in the television show extracts). Antoine and Colette appears on the same disc as the The 400 Blows which enables the fifth disc to include Les Mistons (1957), a delightful short film which acts as precursor to the Doinel cycle, and a fascinating documentary piece Working With Francois Truffaut: Claude de Givray and Bernard Revon (1986). All the discs have extras of some sort, ranging from Brian Stonehill’s superb, friendly commentary that accompanies the The 400 Blows to newsreel footage of the 1959 and 1968 Cannes Film Festivals, and numerous television interviews with Francois Truffaut and Jean- Pierre Leaud. An informative and nicely illustrated seventy-two page booklet completes what is an essential purchase for any film enthusiast, and reveals why Truffaut’s premature death in 1984 was such a catastrophic loss, not only for the world in general but for cinema in particular. -

Rio de Janeiro 2017 “ “ “ AVANT-PROPOS: um aviso ao leitor A função desse item, que não se esperaria numa tese de doutorado, é informar ao leitor o caráter também incomum da pertinência institucional dessa pesquisa, que surgiu como um projeto de pós-doutorado (apresentado a diversos departamentos de Música e de Comunicação/Cinema), foi aprovado em 2013 como projeto de doutorado em Música na seleção do Programa de Pós-graduação em Música da Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) e é nessa forma, de tese, que pode ser lido aqui. A pesquisa tem uma relação de continuidade com o primeiro doutorado da autora, defendido na Escola de Comunicação (ECO) da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) em 2013 e publicado na forma de livro, A música no cinema de Robert Bresson, em maio de 2017. Para completar o rol de estranhezas, fui aprovada com um projeto que incluía esta pesquisa para o pós-doutorado em Música, na mesma UNIRIO, em setembro de 2013, porém, tive bolsa apenas por seis meses. Sem possibilidade de bolsa para um segundo doutorado, tive que buscar outras formas de sobrevivência e inserção acadêmica, tal como foi o período em que fui professora substituta na ECO-UFRJ em 2014-2015 e, finalmente, com o início de novo pós-doutorado em Música no final de 2015, agora no Programa de Pós-graduação em Música (PPGM) da UFRJ. -

In this catalogue, we focus on a selection of feature films, some of which are sure to screen in competition and oth er notable sections at international film festivals. A few of these films have already been released on the domestic market, while others are still in production. I am sure that the coming months will bring a number of great encounters with Polish cinema. 2016 was an exceptionally successful year in Po photo by Marcin Kułakowski, Polish Film Institute lish cinema, as shown both by awards received by Polish films at international film festivals and by over 12 million admissions in cinemas across the nation. This excellent result is the outcome of an exceptional diversity of Polish films. Alongside blockbuster films and period pieces, audiences of ten chose to see original arthouse films, as well as films that do not shy away from social issues. The 2017 season will bring more of these films to the big screen. Among these are films by firsttime directors and those by seasoned filmmakers who have gained acclaim among audiences and critics alike. Polish producers are increasingly involved in international minority coproductions, which is also reflected in this catalogue. -
