  • Bill's Guide to Week Two of the 47Th Annual Chicago International Film
    Bill’s Guide to Week Two of the 47th Annual Chicago International Film Festival By Bill Stamets Special for Films for Two® My recommended films in Week Two (in “must see” order): 1.) Pina: German director Wim Wenders previously profiled Japanese film director Yasujiro Ozu, Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and Cuban musicians. His latest documentary introduces cinefiles to the choreography of German avant-gardist Pina Bausch. In his first use of 3-D cinematography, Wenders evokes the volume of the stage, even for performances staged in non-theatrical settings, including a tramway and an escalator. Four different works are presented. Some are revisited via archival 2-D footage. Seeing various versions adds more figurative depth to our appreciation of Bausch's work than the 3-D adds literal depth to our onscreen perception. Bausch's death during the making of the film may have lent an elegiac note to the laudatory interviews with members of her international company Tanztheater Wuppertal. They do not speak on camera during looking-into-the lens portrait sessions. The soundtrack excerpts their comments, apparently recorded off- camera, to underscore their role as voiceless dancers. Wenders channels Bausch's tactile and theoretical grasp of the body as metaphysical material for art. 2.) The Descendants: Alexander Payne (Sideways, About Schmidt, Election, Citizen Ruth) directs George Clooney as Matt King, an Hawaiian lawyer dealing with his wife hospitalized in a coma and their 10-year-old and 17- year-old daughters. Payne and his co-writers start from Kaui Hart Hemmings' 2008 novel for a truly touching male melodrama, as Clooney's character reconciles his mixed emotions about his wife.

The struggles of middle-age life and parenthood film festivals of recent years. Mumblecore makes a point is no doubt one of them.

  • 'Bad' Sound: What Puts the 'Mumble' Into Mumblecore?
    Theorising ‘bad’ sound: what puts the ‘mumble’ into mumblecore? This is a pre-copyedited version of an article accepted for publication in The Velvet Light Trap following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version is available through the University of Texas Press. Few film genres, styles or movements are named with respect to their sound quality; ‘mumblecore’ – a cycle of independent, very low-budget American movies that emerged in the middle of the last decade – is a rare exception. The label is somewhat pejorative – the ‘origin myth’ is that it was jokingly coined by a sound mixer, but has since stuck.1 Aymar Jean Christian observes that mumblecore directors are uncomfortable with the term and tend not to self-identify as mumblecore, making the term analogous to the subcultural term ‘hipster.’2 However, despite being named with reference to its sound, there has been little analysis of its soundtracks, either academically or in the popular press, beyond dismissing the sound as ‘bad,’ with no further comment. This particular notion of ‘bad’ sound bears closer examination; however, close attention to mumblecore’s audiovisual style needs to be contextualised within the broader category of American independent cinema, of which it is a part. Hence, the label is attached to more than just a style – as has been widely argued, American independent or ‘indie’ cinema is partly an economic category, partly a style and partly a discourse.3 As an economic category, given their very low budgets and self-financed status, mumblecore films can be categorised as ‘house indie,’ as delineated by a critic cited by Michael Z.

  • Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies a Thesis Presented to the Facult
    In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Nicholas D. Bambach August 2016 © 2016 Nicholas D. Bambach. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies by NICHOLAS D. BAMBACH has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT BAMBACH, NICHOLAS D., M.A., August 2016, Film In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis discusses the increasing visibility of masculine identity in contemporary Hollywood comedies. I examine how shifting developments in economic, societal, cultural, and gender relations impacted the perception of cinematic masculinity. The men, more specifically white and heterosexual, in these films position themselves as victims and, as a result, turn to alternative outlets to ease their frustrations and anxieties. In order to broadly survey the genre of the past two decades, I focus on three consistently popular character tropes in Hollywood comedies: slackers, office workers, and bromantic friendships. All the male characters discussed throughout the thesis are plagued by their innermost anxieties and desires that compromise their gendered identities. However, these films resort to a regressive understanding of masculinity and functions within the dominant heteronormative structures. This thesis demonstrates how Hollywood comedies present a contradictory and multifaceted image of modern masculinity.

  • HBO Introduces the Official Trailer of ROOM 104
    HBO introduces the official trailer of ROOM 104 The Anthology Series Returns For Fourth And Final Season July 24 ROOM 104 returns for its fourth and final season FRIDAY, JULY 24, exclusively on HBO GO, one week before launch on the HBO channel on July 31. Likewise, all the episodes of the season will have a premiere on HBO GO, before the weekly programming on the channel. Created by Mark and Jay Duplass ( “Animals.” and “Togetherness”), the late-night, half-hour anthology series returns with 12 new episodes, each telling a unique and unexpected tale of the characters who pass through a single room of a typical American chain motel. While the setting stays the same, every episode of the series features a different story, with the tone, plot, characters, and even the time period, changing with each installment. Exploring a variety of genres, from dark comedy to sci-fi, to the series’ first ever animated episode and original songs, this season will continue to surprise viewers week to week. The premiere episode will be the first time in the series that Mark Duplass stars, writes, directs and performs original music. Stories and characters featured in season four include: an estranged performer giving a one-night-only performance; a woman battling her dark past with addiction; a dollhouse; transporting back in time; and more. Providing one last glimpse into the lives of the guests in ROOM 104, the final season of the genre bending, and risk-taking anthology proves to be another showcase of writing, performing and directing.
