Un Estiu Amb Stanley Donen (Ili) Per Pere Cornelias Cine Club Sabadell 480 Cinema Un estiu amb Stanley Donen (ili) per Pere Cornelias Cine Club Sabadell M,enystinguda per bona part de la crítica i pel públic en general, MOVIE, MOVIE és un pel.lícula d’un interés bastant superior al que sembla haver-li atorgat la majoria dels entesos. És ori­ ginal i intelligent i, malgrat les limita- cions que té -inhérents a un producte corn aquest-, és un dels treballs més es- timulants del darrer Donen. Pensât corn un homenatge al cinema i a les ses­ sions de 40/50 anys enrera i, alhora, corn una reflexió sobre les seves cons­ tants, MOVIE, MOVIE s’estructura a base de dos mig-metratges -o dos episodis- i un “trailer” enmig, émulant aixi les sessions dobles dels anys trentes/quarantes. Els générés escollits son el melodrama i el musical. S’ha de dir que potser es troben a faltar les refe- réncies als dos générés emblemàtics del cinema nord-americà, el comic i el “western” , si bé cal tenir en compte que el melodrama social amb una certa aproximació al mon del cinema negre, com és el cas que ens ocupa, i el musical de pre i de postguerra eren, aleshores, dos dels générés més solids i populars. El “trailer” anuncia un film bél.lic. La pel.lícula, que renuncia a qualse- Movie movie vol tipus de recurs diseursiu, és, abans que res, un diseurs.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 30, 2019 WILLKOMMEN! ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS MUSICAL THEATRE MASTERPIECE “CABARET” Arizona Theatre Company (Sean Daniels, Artistic Director; Billy Russo, Managing Director) will bring the timeless “masterpiece of musical theatre” (Chicago Tribune), Cabaret and its powerful political wallop to the Temple of Music & Art from Nov. 30-Dec. 29 and the Herberger Theater Center from Jan. 4-26. Directed by Sara Bruner, Cabaret, which first opened on Broadway on Nov. 20, 1966 and ran for 1,165 performances, follows American author Cliff Bradshaw (Brandon Espinoza) and his encounter with cabaret performer Sally Bowles (Madison Micucci) at the seedy Kit Kat Klub where she sings. When she is fired by the club’s owner, Max (David Kelly), also her jealous boyfriend, she moves in with Cliff and the two fall in love. As the Nazis begin taking control of the German government, the atmosphere at the Kit Kat Klub and the lives of Cliff and Sally begin to change. For all the exuberant song and dance, the most powerful aspect of Cabaret remains the political wallop it delivers. At its core, Cabaret is a devastating critique of apathy and a clever and terrifying look at totalitarianism. Packed with memorable songs from “Willkommen,” “Perfectly Marvelous,” “I Don’t Care Much,” and, of course, “Cabaret,” Cabaret is a story that remains remarkably timely, particularly in today’s political environment. "Cabaret is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicals ever - and only Arizona Theatre Company, with a full live orchestra on stage - is able to bring the best in our country to work with the best here to create such a piece,” said Arizona Theatre Company Artistic Director Sean Daniels.

  • Stanley Donen, ‘Master of the Musical’ Who Directed ‘Singin’ in the Rain,’ Dies at 94
    LOG IN Stanley Donen, ‘Master of the Musical’ Who Directed ‘Singin’ in the Rain,’ Dies at 94 Stanley Donen in 1958. He directed some of Hollywood’s most beloved musicals, including “On the Town” (1949). Ronald Grant Archive, via Alamy By Richard Severo Feb. 23, 2019 Stanley Donen, who directed Fred Astaire dancing on the ceiling, Gene Kelly singing in the rain and a host of other sparkling moments from some of Hollywood’s greatest musicals, died on Thursday in Manhattan. He was 94. His son, Mark Donen, confirmed the death. Stanley Donen brought a certain charm and elegance to the silver screen in the late 1940s through the 1950s, at a time when Hollywood was soaked in glamour and the big studio movies were polished to a sheen. “For a time, Donen epitomized Hollywood style,” Tad Friend wrote in The New Yorker in 2003. Mr. Donen, he wrote, “made the world of champagne fountains and pillbox hats look enchanting, which is much harder than it sounds.” Mr. Donen worked with some of the most illustrious figures of his era: from Astaire and Kelly to Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. He also worked with Leonard Bernstein, the lyricist Alan Jay Lerner and the writing team of Comden and Green, not to mention Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor. Mr. Donen’s filmography is studded with some of Hollywood’s most loved and admired musicals. “Royal Wedding” (1951), in which Astaire defied gravity, and “Singin’ in the Rain” (1952), in which Kelly defied the weather, were just two of his crowd-pleasers.
