  • Elmore Leonard, 1925-2013
    ELMORE LEONARD, 1925-2013 Elmore Leonard was born October 11, 1925 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Due to his father’s position working for General Motors, Leonard’s family moved numerous times during his childhood, before finally settling in Detroit, MI in 1934. Leonard went on to graduate high school in Detroit in 1943, and joined the Navy, serving in the legendary Seabees military construction unit in the Pacific theater of operations before returning home in 1946. Leonard then attended the University of Detroit, majoring in English and Philosophy. Plans to assist his father in running an auto dealership fell through on his father’s early death, and after graduating, Leonard took a job writing for an ad agency. He married (for the first of three times) in 1949. While working his day job in the advertising world, Leonard wrote constantly, submitting mainly western stories to the pulp and/or mens’ magazines, where he was establishing himself with a strong reputation. His stories also occasionally caught the eye of the entertainment industry and were often optioned for films or television adaptation. In 1961, Leonard attempted to concentrate on writing full-time, with only occasional free- lance ad work. With the western market drying up, Leonard broke into the mainstream suspense field with his first non-western novel, The Big Bounce in 1969. From that point on, his publishing success continued to increase – with both critical and fan response to his works helping his novels to appear on bestseller lists. His 1983 novel La Brava won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel of the year.

  • 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

  • Argento E De Palma, Due Splendidi Quasi-Ottantenni
    Argento e De Palma, due splendidi quasi-ottantenni Non sapremmo dire se si siano mai incontrati di persona, ma certo è che Dario Argento e Brian De Palma di cose in comune ne hanno parecchie. La prima è l’età: infatti compiranno entrambi ottant’anni tra pochi mesi e a pochi giorni di distanza, l’italiano il 7 settembre, l’americano l’11 (data divenuta fatidica negli Usa e non solo…). Il 2020 è inoltre per entrambi un altro anniversario “tondo”, quello dell’esordio dietro la macchina da presa: mezzo secolo giusto per Argento (L’uccello dalle piume di cristallo, 1970), sessant’anni per De Palma (il cortometraggio Icarus, 1960). Entrambi hanno eccelso nel genere thriller-horror e in tutte le sue varianti; e di conseguenza entrambi sono stati perseguitati nei decenni dalla “maledizione di Hitchcock”, il maestro del quale sono stati etichettati più o meno a torto quali “eredi” o più spregiativamente “nipotini”, e che hanno più volte citato non tanto nello spirito quanto nella lettera: De Palma attraverso remake non dichiarati (Le due sorelle da Psyco, Complesso di colpa da Vertigo) e utilizzando in entrambi i suddetti titoli il compositore prediletto dal cineasta inglese, Bernard Herrmann; Argento con prestiti simbolici (il truce killer interpretato nel film d’esordio da Reggie Nalder, già sicario in L’uomo che sapeva troppo) e omaggi diretti (il televisivo Ti piace Hitchcock? del 2005, protagonista l’astro allora nascente Elio Germano). Profondo rosso, film del 1975 di Dario Argento A proposito di musica, tutti e due si sono avvalsi del pirotecnico talento di Pino Donaggio, più | 1 Argento e De Palma, due splendidi quasi-ottantenni giovane di un anno e maestro di “suspense music”: Argento tre volte (Due occhi diabolici, Trauma e Ti piace Hitchcock?) , De Palma sistematicamente – anche se con ampi intervalli – dal 1974 di Carrie al recente, bistrattato Domino.

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

Abstract: This article will examine the work of four filmmakers-- Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson, Sam Peckinpah and Nicolas Roeg— whom have produced milestone works in the cinema that address one of the central concerns of modernity, the loss of individual identity and its replacement with a figurative disembodiment in an increasingly complex, technocratic, and specialized world. Preoccupation with the struggle for the soul and the resulting madness and the blurring and collapsing of boundaries, is what unites the four film makers. Three of the four--Reisz, Anderson and Roeg--originated in the British cinema, and thus automatically found themselves somewhat on the margins of the industry, yet the fourth, Peckinpah, is the sole American of the group. This article argues that his primary concerns in the cinema may place him more with his British counterparts than with other Hollywood filmmakers of the same era. The methodology chosen for this analysis firmly secures the films and their makers within their particular social and historical contexts.
