All sentences or passages quoted in this dissertation from other people's work (with or without trivial changes) have been placed within quotation marks, and specifically acknowledged by reference to author, work and page. I understand that plagiarism – the unacknowledged use of such passages – will be considered grounds for rejection of the dissertation, and, if serious and/or persistent, may render the candidate ineligible to receive the Mundus degree. I also affirm that, with the exception of the specific acknowledgements, this dissertation is entirely my own work. Signature: Date: 19 October 2009 2 ABSTRACT The present work examines the role of cities in cinema and the ways of analysing them. It examines their convergences and explores their different aspects. It brings together Henri Lefebvre’s theory of urban space of and Gilles Deleuze’s film theory and argues that similarities of real and cinematic cities lay in their dependence on the dimensions of time and movement and in the fact that they are both products and producers of space/reality. These theories are used in the analysis of representations of Paris in Godard’s early phase: A bout de souffle (1960), Vivre sa vie (1962), Alphaville (1965) and Deux ou trois choses que je sais d’elle (1967). It is argued that these cinematic cities are firmly based in reality, by including procedures used in documentary films. However, they also transgress it, by emphasising their invented and intertextual side. Moreover, the formal analysis of these cities proves their significant differences, connected with historical and social turbulences of French society in the 60s, as well as with the profound transformation in Paris architecture and city planning. They are also induced by important changes in French cinema, in particular by the New Wave movement. Consequently, Godard’s attitudes towards cinema and directors (the auteur policy) and towards popular and classical culture significantly change, which can be seen in the shift of these cinematic cities from beautiful to repulsive, from personal to historical and from influencing the characters to absorbing them. The city’s importance in the narrative also grows with these changes. Nevertheless, the analysis shows Godard’s continuity and persistence in an always subversive response to society and a highly individual approach to cinema. The latter is mostly expressed in Godard’s preoccupation with creating art that would change/produce society, in which these cinematic cities prove to succeed. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank: My supervisors, Dr Hugueny-Léger and Dr Cases, for guiding and correcting the present dissertation, giving me important suggestions and remarks and encouraging me in my work. I am particularly indebted to Dr Cases and her class ‘Coupes et plans’, for giving me a significant insight in different ways of approaching cinematic cities and providing an important source of information on the topic. My friend Lana, for linguistic suggestions and the time and effort she spent on reading and commenting on this work. My Crossways friends and particularly Alessandra and Snežana, for their constant encouragement and support. My family, for believing in me and for being such a tremendous support. Ivan, for his love and patience and for ‘living’ through this dissertation with me. Godard and Karina, for the beauty.

Fassbinder, Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog, Terry Malick, Ermanno Ohni, Jacques Rivette and Martin Scorsese. He was an author of books on Jean-Marie Straub, Jean-Luc Godard, Max Ophuls, and Henri Langlois, as well as the editor of CINEMA: A CRITICAL DICTIONARY. In addition, Mr. Roud wrote extensive criticism on film, the theater and other visual arts for The Manchester Guardian and Sight and Sound and was an occasional contributor to many other publications.

Tout le cercle du spectacle en effervescence, de la Diva jusqu'au librettiste, va essayer de se faire engager, afin d'entrevoir les quelques mois de tranquillité indispensables à ces artistes aux abois. Une magnifique occasion d'illustrer les pétillantes ressources des artistes de l'époque mais aussi leurs travers très humains, et leurs préoccupations très quotidiennes... peut-être pas si éloignées de celles des intermittents d'aujourd'hui ! Là où l'on peut espérer que le talent fait la différence, on s'aperçoit que les us et coutumes de la scène doivent être respectés à la lettre, sous peine de cruelle exclusion de ce petit monde. Un monde où la séduction, l'envie, l'engagement, la jalousie, frappent ceux qui se révèlent affaiblis par une situation fragilisante d'insécurité de l'emploi, et qui sont dévorés dans le même temps par l'irrépressible besoin d'être artiste.

    •ef NO. 101 he Museum of Modern Art FUR IMMEDIATE RELEASE west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart CLAUDE CHABROL: FRENCH DIRECTOR'S WORK AT MUSEUM THE FILMS OF CLAUDE CHABROL, the French director who helped pioneer the "New wave,** will begin October 2 at The Museum of Modern Art. Among the 14 films in the series, organized by Adrienne Mancia, Associate Curator of the Department of Film, are **Le Beau Serge*' (1938), Chabrol's first film, rarely seen in this country; **Les Bonnes Femmes" (1960), seldom shown here though it is regarded as one of his best; **Le Boucher,'* an entry in the just completed 8th New York Film Festival; *«Que La Bete heure** (**This Man Must Die**), which will open shortly in New York; and **La Rupture,'* his most recent movie, just premiered In Paris and not yet acquired for distribution in the U.S.A. Born in Paris in 1930, Chabrol studied pharmacy but gave up that profession for a total involvement in film. In the 1950s, he wrote for **Cahier8 du Cinema** along with Truffaut and Godard, and in 1957 he co-authored a book on Hitchcock with Eric Rohmer, also to become a director. An inheritance from his first wife's family enabled Chabrol, in 1958, to make '*Le Beau Serge,** which was followed the same year by **Les Cousins,** which won the Golden Bear Award at the 1959 Berlin Film Festival. These films, along with Godard*s **Breathless,** Truffaut's "The 400 Blows** and Resnais* **Hiroshima Mon Amour,** signalled a renaissance for the French film which was to have an impact around the world.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.
