I HEREBY DECLARE: That the National Assembly of People’s Power, in the meeting held on 23 December 1987 of the aforementioned session, passed what is herein below described: WHEREAS: Our socialist Law shall develop to serve with increasing efficiency the goals of our society and, in accordance with this principle, the criminal policy agreed by the State shall reflect, in essence, the forms of fight against crime and delinquency, considering the social, political and economic conditions of our country. Therefore, criminal rules shall be strictly and inexorably observed by any and all citizens, State agencies and economic and social entities, by their own rule, and also by their high level of social understanding and compliance. WHEREAS: In recent years the socialist State set forth and developed different means to prevent and face Law violations, which means a significant progress in structuring an efficient, harmonious and educational system of fight against law infringements, and to form a culture of law observance, which allows to currently extract from the criminal scope those conducts that are not crimes by their nature, and which therefore shall be treated under other legal branches.

  • The Spiritual and Film: Two Test Cases from 1947
    1 The Spiritual and Film: Two Test Cases from 1947 Meeting God It is one thing to discuss the religious subject matter of a film; it is another to suggest that it might also be an instrument of the divine. Frank Burch Brown has suggested four ways in which meeting God in a work of art can happen: 1. Negative Transcendence: This is when an artistic work, because of its representation of loss and tragedy, seems to ache for God's presence, even while in the work itself God appears absent. The one not present is the one that the work cries out for. František Vláčil’s Marketa Lazarová, many of the films of Ingmar Bergman, Robert Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar, and Carl Dreyer’s Day of Wrath have religious subjects but offer a terrible world in which God seems to be silent. Each manifests a terrible vision of the world's misery and longing for the divine. 2. Radical Transcendence: Here, we experience God as the one who is Wholly Other, high and infinite above our experience. The work offers an austere vision of God as fiery and powerful, glorious beyond our understanding. Darren Aronofsky’s ∏ is highly unorthodox, but it nonetheless suggests a vision in which the divine cannot be controlled by us. Peter Weir’s Fearless and Andrei Tarkovsky’s The Sacrifice in other ways also look to God's majestic difference. We have a sense of our finiteness, dependence, even sinful separation from the universe's designer. 3. Proximate Transcendence: This is when the work offers us a picture of God who is mysterious, "within and among and beyond things earthly and tangible" (120).

  • Neorealism, History, and the Children's Film: Vittorio De Sica's
    Neorealism, History, and The Children’s Film: Vittorio de Sica’s The Children Are Watching Us reconsidered BERT CARDULLO Yale University Abstract Vittorio De Sica used a child protagonist for the first time, not in his neorealist masterpiece Shoeshine (1946), but in his first truly serious film, The Children Are Watching Us (1943), which examines the impact on a young boy’s life of his mother’s extramarital affair with a family friend. The Children Are Watching Us proved to be a key work, thematically as well as stylistically, in De Sica’s directing career. In its thematic attempt to reveal the underside of Italy’s moral life, this film was indicative of a rising new vision in Italian cinema. And in exhibiting semi-documentary qualities by being shot partially on location, as well as by using nonprofessional actors in some roles, The Children Are Watching Us was a precursor of the neorealism that would issue forth after the liberation of occupied Rome. Keywords: Vittorio De Sica; The Children Are Watching Us; Italian neorealism; children’s films; Shoeshine; Bicycle Thieves. Where children are concerned, two myths predominate on film: that of the original innocence of children, an innocence that only becomes sullied by contact with the society of grown-ups; and that of the child-as-father-to-the-man, of childhood as a prelude to the main event of adulthood. Among films of the first kind, Jean Benoît- Levy’s La maternelle (1932), Louis Daquin’s Portrait of Innocence (1941), Kjell Grede’s Hugo and Josephine (1967), Jilali Ferhati’s Reed Dolls (1981), and Bahman Ghobadi’s Turtles Can Fly (2004) deserve special mention.

  • Personal and National Loss in René Clément's Forbidden Games
    Psychoanalysis, Cinema, History: Personal and National Loss in René Clément’s Forbidden Games Esther Rashkin Abstract: What facilitates the psychic process of grieving a traumatic loss, and what happens when that process is blocked? Forbidden Games is, on one level, an intimate film about childhood trauma. When viewed from a psychoana- lytic perspective informed by concepts such as introjection and pathological mourning, however, it emerges as a complex allegory that reflects, through its narrative and filmic elements, on the sociocultural and historical dynamics of France’s troubled response to the loss of its identity as a democracy during World War II. The film also reflects on the even more shameful history of the rise of French anti-Semitism under the Vichy regime and France’s history of silencing or repressing the drama of its willing collaboration with the Nazis’ Final Solution. Private trauma thus screens public, political trauma as Clé- ment’s film becomes both a medium for sociocultural commentary and a memorial to loss that could not be buried or mourned. Keywords: allegory, anti-Semitism, blocked mourning, Collaboration, deper- sonalization, introjection, memorialization, self-cure, trauma, Vichy Since its premiere in 1952, René Clément’s Forbidden Games (Jeux interdits) has been praised for its honesty, simplicity, and unwavering evocation of the emo- tional pain suffered by children exposed to the violence of war (Arlaud 1952; Ebert 2005; Egly 1958; Kast 1952). The film has received numerous awards in- cluding an Honorary Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Golden Lion for Best Picture at the Venice Film Festival, where the jury lauded it for “having known how to raise up, with a unique lyrical purity and an ex- ceptional expressiveness, the innocence of childhood over the tragedy and desolation of war.”1 These well-deserved accolades notwithstanding, this arti- cle argues that Forbidden Games is neither as simple nor as straightforward a meditation on childhood war trauma as it might first appear.
