  • Fragments of the Past in Pedro Almodóvar's Broken
    Oceánide 5 2013 Fecha de recepción: 27 diciembre 2012 Fecha de aceptación: 11 enero 2013 Fecha de publicación: 25 enero 2013 URL:http://oceanide.netne.net/articulos/art5-4.php Oceánide número 5, ISSN 1989-6328 The Shortcomings of Simulacra: Fragments of the Past in Pedro Almodóvar’s Broken Embraces Marcela T. GARCÉS (Siena College, New York, United States) RESUMEN: La obra de Pedro Almodóvar abarca una colección de temas y referencias a sus propias películas, al mismo tiempo que hace referencias a varios otros directores conocidos. Los abrazos rotos (2009) reproduce varias escenas de Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios. No obstante, las referencias a ésta en Los abrazos rotos nos dejan con una sensación de desencanto. Las referencias crean una fragmentación del pasado y en última instancia no cumplen con su meta original. La relación entre estas dos películas demuestra las debilidades inherentes en la reconstrucción de filmes dentro de otros filmes, lo cual se conecta con la idea de Baudrillard que el cine está constantemente cometiendo plagio a la hora de rehacerse. Palabras clave: Almodóvar, nostalgia, Baudrillard, flashback, Los abrazos rotos ABSTRACT: Pedro Almodóvar’s oeuvre encompasses a collection of themes and references to his own back catalogue, all the while referencing many other well-known directors. Broken Embraces (2009) refers to and re-enacts scenes from Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988). Yet the references to the latter in Broken Embraces fail to enchant, instead creating a fragmentation of the past and ultimately shifting from a breakdown to being simply broken.

  • Women Directors in 'Global' Art Cinema: Negotiating Feminism And
    Women Directors in ‘Global’ Art Cinema: Negotiating Feminism and Representation Despoina Mantziari PhD Thesis University of East Anglia School of Film, Television and Media Studies March 2014 “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 use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” Women Directors in Global Art Cinema: Negotiating Feminism and Aesthetics The thesis explores the cultural field of global art cinema as a potential space for the inscription of female authorship and feminist issues. Despite their active involvement in filmmaking, traditionally women directors have not been centralised in scholarship on art cinema. Filmmakers such as Germaine Dulac, Agnès Varda and Sally Potter, for instance, have produced significant cinematic oeuvres but due to the field's continuing phallocentricity, they have not enjoyed the critical acclaim of their male peers. Feminist scholarship has focused mainly on the study of Hollywood and although some scholars have foregrounded the work of female filmmakers in non-Hollywood contexts, the relationship between art cinema and women filmmakers has not been adequately explored. The thesis addresses this gap by focusing on art cinema. It argues that art cinema maintains a precarious balance between two contradictory positions; as a route into filmmaking for women directors allowing for political expressivity, with its emphasis on artistic freedom which creates a space for non-dominant and potentially subversive representations and themes, and as another hostile universe given its more elitist and auteurist orientation.

  • Treasures from the Yale Film Archive
    TREASURES FROM THE YALE FILM ARCHIVE SUNDAY AN ONGOING SERIES OF CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY FILMS PRESENTED IN 35MM BY THE YALE FILM STUDY CENTER SEPTEMBER 17, 2017 2:00PM • WHITNEY HUMANITIES CENTER PRESENTED WITH SUPPORT FROM VOLVERVOLVER PAUL L. JOSKOW ’70 M.PHIL., ’72 PH.D. All about mothers, Pedro Almodóvar’s 2006 quiet masterpiece blends tragedy, melodrama, magical realism, and farce in a story of three generations of working-class Spanish women and the secrets they carry between La Mancha and Madrid. Penélope Cruz o. gives the performance of her career as Raimunda, struggling to protect her teenage daughter (Yohana Cobo) while haunted by N the ghost of her estranged mother (Carmen Maura). A.O. Scott said of the film, “To relate the details of the narrative—death, cancer, S 1 E 4 betrayal, parental abandonment, more death—would create an impression of dreariness and woe. But nothing could be further from A S O N the spirit of VOLVER which is buoyant without being flip, and consoling without ever becoming maudlin.” One of Almodóvar’s most assured and mature works, it foregoes the flashy visuals and assertive soundtracks of his earlier comedies, as well as the complex plots of the dramas that immediately preceded it, TALK TO HER and BAD EDUCATION. Other than MATADOR and KIKA, it was his first film to be released in the U.S. under its untranslated Spanish title. Volver means return, and the many returns throughout the film help bring the characters and their director overdue resolutions to unfinished business from the past.

  • Gilles Lellouche INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION NOTES
    A FILM BY Gilles Lellouche INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION NOTES CONTACTS INTERNATIONAL MARKETING INTERNATIONAL PUBLICITY Lucie MICHAUT Alexandre BOURG [email protected] [email protected] SYNOPSIS A group of 40-something guys, all on the verge of a mid-life crisis, decide to form their local pool’s first ever synchronized swimming team – for men. Braving the skepticism and ridicule of those around them and trained by a fallen champion trying to pull herself together, the group set out on an unlikely adventure, and on the way will rediscover a little self-esteem and a lot about themselves and each other. After Narco and The Players, Sink or Swim is the first film you’ve made as a solo director. Did you have difficulty launching a solo project, or was it just a question of timing? A little of both! Most of all, I needed to find a subject that really spoke to me and would enable me to make a film even more personal than Narco. As for The Players, that was a group project. I really enjoyed making both of those films, but neither was intimately linked to who I am. All of this took some time because after Narco, my “actors’ films” were the center of attention. How long has it taken to bring Sink or Swim to life? Five years. In fact, it was eight years ago that I began writing a script that already contained a few of the ideas in Sink or Swim. I wanted to examine the weariness – or perhaps the somewhat latent depression – that I sensed in people of my generation or even more generally in France.

It only looks like it the Coca Cola Film Festival if you read it too fast. September 3, 2019 Critic's Picks: A September To-Do List for Film Buffs in L.A Alain Delon in 'Purple Moon' (1960) A classic lesbian drama, French noirs starring Alain Delon and Jean Gabin and a series of matinees devoted to Katharine Hepburn are among the plentiful vintage and classic options for SoCal film buffs this month. OLIVIA AT THE LAEMMLE ROYAL | 11523 Santa Monica Blvd. Already underway and screening daily through Sept. 5 at the Laemmle Royal is a new digital restoration of Jacqueline Audry’s trailblazing 1951 feature Olivia, one of the first films, French or otherwise, to deal with female homosexuality. Set in a 19th-century Parisian finishing school for girls, the film depicts the struggle between two head mistresses (Edwige Feuillere and Simone Simon) for the affection of their students, and how one girl’s (Marie-Claire Olivia) romantic urges stir jealousy in the house. Audry, one of the key female filmmakers of post-World War II France, stages this feverish chamber drama (based on a novel by the English writer Dorothy Bussy) with a delicate yet incisive touch, allowing the story’s implicit sensuality to simmer ominously without boiling over into undue hysterics. Lesbian dramas would soon become more explicit, but few have matched Olivia’s unique combination of elegance and eroticism.
