  • Sculpting Women from Pygmalion to Vertigo to the Skin I Live In
    1 This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Quarterly Review of Film and Video Sculpting Women from Pygmalion to Vertigo to The Skin I Live in They would be displeased to have anybody call them docile, yet in a way they are . They submit themselves to manly behavior with all its risks and cruelties, its complicated burdens and deliberate frauds. Its rules, which in some cases you benefited from, as a woman, and then some that you didn’t. -“Too Much Happiness”, Alice Munro (294) One day I'll grow up, I'll be a beautiful woman. One day I'll grow up, I'll be a beautiful girl. But for today I am a child, for today I am a boy. -“For Today I Am a Boy”, Antony and the Johnsons The two images below (Figure 1) are from key moments in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958) and Pedro Almodóvar’s La piel que habito (The Skin I Live in, 2011). It is possible that there is a conscious citation here on the part of Almodóvar, but in any case the parallels are striking, and they reveal a great deal about gender as it is constructed in the mid- 20th century and the early 21st. Both shots show a woman gazed at from behind, as she herself is gazing at artwork that is especially significant for her sense of self. In the larger context of the films, both women are haunted by idealized images of femininity, which are necessary to prop up the crumbling masculinity of men who want to reshape their clothes, hair and bodies.

  • Fantasies of the Institution: the Films of Georges Franju and Ince's
    Film-Philosophy 11.3 December 2007 Fantasies of the Institution: The Films of Georges Franju and Ince’s Georges Franju Michael du Plessis University of Southern California Kate Ince (2005) Georges Franju Manchester: Manchester University Press. ISBN 0719068282 172 pp. With the exception of Eyes Without a Face (Les yeux sans visage, 1960) and Blood of the Beasts (Le sang des bêtes, 1948), almost none of Georges Franju’s 14 short films and 8 features is currently available in the US on DVD or video, where he is now known only, if at all, as the director of a scandalously unwatchable documentary about the abattoirs of Paris and a moody (but supposedly minor) horror film about a deranged doctor who tries to graft a new face onto his disfigured daughter. Given the oblivion that surrounds this director in English-speaking countries, Kate Ince’s recent monograph on Franju in Manchester’s French Film Directors series (which includes studies of directors as varied as Georges Méliès, Jean Renoir, Marguerite Duras, and Claire Denis) serves, at the very least, as a new consideration of a significant figure in cinema history. Ince emphasises that Franju’s links to cinema as an institution go beyond his own films: he was a co-founder with Henri Langlois in 1936 of the Cinémathèque française and served as secretary of the Féderation Internationale des Archives du Film. While his involvement with the Cinémathèque may not have remained as central as it was at the beginning, Franju was made an honorary artistic director of the Cinémathèque in the last decade of his life (Ince, 2005, 1).

  • "Gomorrah" & "Il Divo."
    "Gomorrah" & "Il Divo." Italy Conquers Cannes Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) "Gomorrah" & "Il Divo." Italy Conquers Cannes Elsa Bazzini (May 27, 2008) At the 2008 Cannes Film Festival a new generation of Italan moviemakers show that Italian cinema is back with new ideas and interesting works. The grand prix this year went to Matteo Garrone’s Gomorrah while the jury prize was presented to Paolo Sorrentino’s Il Divo France may have won its first Palme d’Or since 1987 at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, but according to the Italian press the greatest winner was Italian cinema. Dubbed last year as “depressing” by Quentin Tarantino and left out of the main competition, it now seems that Italian movies – at least according to the French festival – are finally getting back on track. Indeed, the grand prix this year went to Matteo Garrone’s Gomorrah while the jury prize was presented to Paolo Sorrentino’s Il Divo. Page 1 of 2 "Gomorrah" & "Il Divo." Italy Conquers Cannes Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Matteo Garrone’s first film Terra di mezzo won the special jury prize in Turin in 1996. His following films Guests (1998), Estate romana (2000), and The Embalmer [2] (2002) achieved moderate success, and in 2004 he presented First Love [3] at the Berlinale. Gomorrah is adapted from Roberto Saviano’s bestseller and presents a revealing picture of the organized crime network in Naples, the Camorra. Paolo Sorrentino has competed twice for the Palme d’Or, in 2004 with The Consequences of Love and in 2006 with The Family Friend.
