It brings together complex relationships. Tulpan (Sergey Dvortsevoy, Kazakhstan) Winning the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes only confirmed this film’s great cinematic quality. Dvortsevoy’s documentary approach to fiction reflects the energy of life in inhospitable climates. It’s a bitter and a beautiful portrait of Kazakhs living in the steppes. There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson, USA) This combines the professional and the passionate to great effect. The Gift to Stalin (Rustem Abdrashev, Kazakhstan) Shown at the opening of the Pusan film festival, this is an important revelation of hidden events during the Stalinist era. Mamma Mia! (Phyllida Lloyd, USA) What a lovely and energising story built around ABBA’s best songs! Copyright © BFI 2008 GEOFF ANDREW Head of film programme, BFI Southbank, UK Che (Steven Soderbergh, USA) The finest film by an American director this year, a monumental achievement of astonishing audacity and ambition best watched in one go. Of Time and the City (Terence Davies, UK) Best documentary – even richer than La Vie moderne (Raymond Depardon), La Forteresse (Fernand Melgar) and Routes: Dancing to New Orleans (Alex Reuben) – and a magisterial return to our screens by Britain’s greatest living film-maker. Still Walking (Kore-eda Hirokazu, Japan) A witty, perceptive and affecting look at family life. In the City of Sylvia (José Luis Guerín, Spain) Experimental film-making at its most accessible and elegant: referencing Goethe, Velázquez, Hitchcock et al, Guerín creates a funny, sexy, poetic and surprisingly coherent whole. Le Bonheur (Agnès Varda, France, 1965) Of the ‘old’ films I very belatedly caught up with, this glittering, gloriously and unsettlingly ambivalent jewel just pipped Cléo de 5 à 7 (also Varda) and Classe tous risques (Sautet) to the post. MICHAEL ATKINSON Critic, USA My Winnipeg (Guy Maddin, Canada) The crazed Winnipego-paleokino-alchemist, no-budget magus caps his meta-autobiographical trilogy and scores his most moving film. Copyright © BFI 2008 There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson, USA) Who saw this coming, from the smug artificer-auteur of Magnolia? Textures no one’s seen in a period film before. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu, Romania) A hyperrealist ordeal by anticipation and, with an earned closet of international awards, the best of the Romanian films. The Flight of the Red Balloon (Hou Hsiao-hsien, Taiwan/France) Everything everyone said it wasn’t: sweet, humane, eloquent and natural as an afternoon stroll. Half Moon (Bahman Ghobadi, Iran, 2006) Ghobadi goes metaphysical, outright comedic and Kurdish-musical; the upshot is the best Iranian film seen on western screens in a while. The Class JAMES BELL Assistant Editor, Sight & Sound United Red Army (Wakamatsu Koji, Japan) Copyright © BFI 2008 Wakamatsu Koji’s gripping 3-hour docudrama account of Japan’s Red Army Faction of the 1970s stands head and shoulders above The Baader Meinhof Complex as an insight into radical terrorist groups. There’s no glamour here; instead the suffocating claustrophobia of life inside such a group, particularly the gruesome scenes of ‘self- criticism’, is almost unbearable to watch. It deserves far more international exposure than it’s so far had. Still Walking (Kore-eda Hirokazu, Japan) Kore-eda Hirokazu’s subtle family-reunion drama is full of poignant and truthful moments, and he’s unafraid to show the uglier sides of his characters. End of the Rainbow (Robert Nugent, France/Australia) Australian documentary film-maker Robert Nugent’s beautifully shot film perceptively exposes the devastating impact of the construction of a western-financed, industrial-sized goldmine in the dusty Sahel of the Guinea/Mali border on the local community, while never resorting to didactic reportage. There Will be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson, USA) For its wordless opening, its wild ambition, Daniel Day-Lewis’ barnstorming, and Jonny Greenwood’s arresting score. The Class (Laurent Cantet, France) Though I felt it suffers with the onset of plotting in its second-half, the astonishing verisimilitude and energy of the classroom scenes impressed. GUIDO BONSAVER Academic, Oxford University, UK Il Divo (Paolo Sorrentino, Italy) Copyright © BFI 2008 Political cinema meets Fellini meets Tarantino. And if you think the plot is far fetched, you should follow Italian politics more closely. Appaloosa (Ed Harris, USA) An unpretentious but well-shot Western with great acting and fine dialogue. Cliente (Josiane Balasko, France) A working-class Parisian gigolo meets a sleek but ageing businesswoman. Even at its most clichéd, the film comes across as funny and warmhearted. Gomorrah (Matteo Garrone, Italy) This is the dirty underbelly of Italy, with no heroes and belles to write home about. Rembrandt’s J’accuse (Peter Greenaway, Netherlands/UK) This documentary investigating a ‘crime’ at the heart of Rembrandt’s Nightwatch should be compulsory screening for every teaching institution, and for every self-appointed artist too. NICK BRADSHAW Critic, UK Taxi to the Dark Side (Alex Gibney, USA) Alex Gibney’s meticulous exposé of the war on terror traces the rotten apples right to the top. The Solitary Life of Cranes (Eva Weber, UK) Eva Weber’s city symphony of London from above, brilliantly conceived, wonderfully executed. The Class (Laurent Cantet, France) Laurent Cantet’s electrifying portrait of several bricks in the wall.

  • Of Time, Dissonance and the Symphonic-Poetic City Les Roberts, University of Liverpool
    Published in Eselsohren: Journal of the History of Art, Architecture and Urbanism, 2 (1-2): 87-104 (2015). Of Time, Dissonance and the Symphonic-Poetic City Les Roberts, University of Liverpool The „time‟ of Terence Davies‟s celebrated cine-poem Of Time and the City (2008) can in one sense be characterised as linear inasmuch as it accords with a biographical period – the 1940s to 1970s – that maps on to the history of a specific place: the port-city of Liverpool in the north west of England. The duration of the seventy-five minute film is thus homologous to that of the director‟s own time growing up on post-war Merseyside, from his birth in 1945 until 1973 when he moved away from the city. In other words, the film tells a story that unfolds as a linear narrative: a time-line of geobiographical memory. But the „time‟ of Of Time and the City also conveys a different temporal geography, one that works against the linearity of narrative form. Time in this other sense is poetically woven from the fluid and contingent temporalities of Terence Davies‟s Liverpool: a city reassembled from the excavatory fragments of an archaeology of memory. It is as fitting to describe Of Time and the City as a „symphony‟ as it is for other classics of the genre, such as Walter Ruttman‟s Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927) or Dziga Vertov‟s Man with a Movie Camera (1929). However, the film‟s rich orchestration of archival memory (around 85% of the film consists of archive material) and its dissonant poetics of everyday time map out the contours of what might better be described as a „symphonic-poetic city‟.

  • CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and Counting…
    5 JAN 18 1 FEB 18 1 | 5 JAN 18 - 1 FEB 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and counting… As you’ll spot deep within this programme (and hinted at on the front cover) January 2018 sees the start of a series of films that lead up to celebrations in October marking the 40th birthday of Filmhouse as a public cinema on Lothian Road. We’ve chosen to screen a film from every year we’ve been bringing the very best cinema to the good people of Edinburgh, and while it is tremendous fun looking back through the history of what has shown here, it was quite an undertaking going through all the old programmes and choosing what to show, and a bit of a personal journey for me as one who started coming here as a customer in the mid-80s (I know, I must have started very young...). At that time, I’d no idea that Filmhouse had only been in existence for less than 10 years – it seemed like such an established, essential institution and impossible to imagine it not existing in a city such as Edinburgh. My only hope is that the cinema is as important today as I felt it was then, and that the giants on whose shoulders we currently stand feel we’re worthy of their legacy. I hope you can join us for at least some of the screenings on this trip down memory lane... And now, back to the now.

It has been accepted for inclusion in University of Chicago Legal Forum by an authorized editor of Chicago Unbound. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Rules of #MeToo Jessica A. Clarke† ABSTRACT Two revelations are central to the meaning of the #MeToo movement. First, sexual harassment and assault are ubiquitous. And second, traditional legal procedures have failed to redress these problems. In the absence of effective formal legal pro- cedures, a set of ad hoc processes have emerged for managing claims of sexual har- assment and assault against persons in high-level positions in business, media, and government. This Article sketches out the features of this informal process, in which journalists expose misconduct and employers, voters, audiences, consumers, or professional organizations are called upon to remove the accused from a position of power. Although this process exists largely in the shadow of the law, it has at- tracted criticisms in a legal register. President Trump tapped into a vein of popular backlash against the #MeToo movement in arguing that it is “a very scary time for young men in America” because “somebody could accuse you of something and you’re automatically guilty.” Yet this is not an apt characterization of #MeToo’s paradigm cases.
