  • 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.

  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more. Enjoy. - Nick James, Editor. 1 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 2 Inland Empire (David Lynch) 3 Zodiac (David Fincher) = 4 I’m Not There (Todd Haynes) The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 6 Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas) = 7 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) No Country for Old Men (Ethan and Joel Coen) Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg) 1 Table of Contents – alphabetical by critic Gilbert Adair (Critic and author, UK)............................................................................................4 Kaleem Aftab (Critic, The Independent, UK)...............................................................................4 Geoff Andrew (Critic

Whether Haneke or Hitchcock, Bigelow or Bergmann, Capra or the Coen brothers, each volume, comprised of 25 or more newly commissioned essays writ- ten by leading experts, explores a canonical, contemporary and/or controversial auteur in a sophisticated, authoritative, and multi-dimensional capacity. Individual volumes interrogate any number of subjects – the director’s oeuvre; dominant themes, well-known, worthy, and under-rated films; stars, collaborators, and key influences; reception, reputation, and above all, the director’s intellectual currency in the scholarly world. 1 A Companion to Michael Haneke, edited by Roy Grundmann 2 A Companion to Alfred Hitchcock, edited by Leland Poague and Thomas Leitch 3 A Companion to Rainer Fassbinder, edited by Brigitte Peucker 4 A Companion to Werner Herzog, edited by Brad Prager 5 A Companion to François Truffaut, edited by Dudley Andrew and Anne Gillian 6 A Companion to Pedro Almódovar, edited by Marvin D’Lugo and Kathleen Vernon 7 A Companion to John Ford, edited by Peter Lehman 8 A Companion to Jean Renoir, edited by Alistair Phillips and Ginette Vincendeau 9 A Companion to Louis Buñuel, edited by Robert Stone and Julian Daniel Gutierrez-Albilla 10 A Companion to Martin Scorsese, edited by Peter J.

  • Strange Contracts: Elfriede Jelinek and Michael Haneke VICKY LEBEAU
    Strange Contracts: Elfriede Jelinek and Michael Haneke VICKY LEBEAU Abstract: This essay explores the representation of sexuality and vision in Elfriede Jelinek’s Die Klavierspielerin [The Piano Teacher] (1983) and Michael Haneke’s La Pianiste (2001). In its focus on the relation between Mother and Erika, Die Klavierspielerin brings right to the fore the grounding of both sexuality and visuality in the ongoing ties between mother and child. Displac- ing that novel onto the screen, Haneke redoubles its focus on vision. It is in the convergence between the two that we can begin to explore what may be described as the maternal dimension of the various technologies of vision that have come to pervade the everyday experience of looking—their effect on our ways of understanding the relations between visuality and selfhood, visuality and mind. Keywords: feminism, Michael Haneke, Elfriede Jelinek, The Piano Teacher, pornography, psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic film theory, sadomasochism, The Seventh Continent, sexuality, spectatorship, vision, visual culture, voyeur- ism, D. W. Winnicott Why would a woman welcome her own murder? Not her own death, simply, not even her suicide, but her murder, the loss of her life at the hands of another? To read Elfriede Jelinek’s Die Klavierspielerin [The Piano Teacher], first published in 1983, is to be caught up in that question, its wayward implication in a woman’s pursuit of pleasure, of a “life of her own,” which for much of the book, appears to be possible only in, and through, her eyes. “All Erika wants to do is watch”; “[S] he simply wants to sit there and look.
