  • HJR 23.1 Sadoff
    38 The Henry James Review Appeals to Incalculability: Sex, Costume Drama, and The Golden Bowl By Dianne F. Sadoff, Miami University Sex is the last taboo in film. —Catherine Breillat Today’s “meat movie” is tomorrow’s blockbuster. —Carol J. Clover When it was released in May 2001, James Ivory’s film of Henry James’s final masterpiece, The Golden Bowl, received decidedly mixed reviews. Kevin Thomas calls it a “triumph”; Stephen Holden, “handsome, faithful, and intelligent” yet “emotionally distanced.” Given the successful—if not blockbuster—run of 1990s James movies—Jane Campion’s The Portrait of a Lady (1996), Agniezka Holland’s Washington Square (1997), and Iain Softley’s The Wings of the Dove (1997)—the reviewers, as well as the fans, must have anticipated praising The Golden Bowl. Yet the film opened in “selected cities,” as the New York Times movie ads noted; after New York and Los Angeles, it showed in university towns and large urban areas but not “at a theater near you” or at “theaters everywhere.” Never mind, however, for the Merchant Ivory film never intended to be popular with the masses. Seeking a middlebrow audience of upper-middle-class spectators and generally intelligent filmgoers, The Golden Bowl aimed to portray an English cultural heritage attractive to Anglo-bibliophiles. James’s faux British novel, however, is paradoxically peopled with foreigners: American upwardly mobile usurpers, an impoverished Italian prince, and a social-climbing but shabby ex- New York yentl. Yet James’s ironic portrait of this expatriate culture, whose characters seek only to imitate their Brit betters—if not in terms of wealth and luxury, at least in social charm and importance—failed to seem relevant to viewers The Henry James Review 23 (2002): 38–52.

    Press Contact: Harry Forbes, WNET 212-560-8027 or [email protected] Lindsey Bernstein, WNET 212-560-6609 or [email protected] Press materials: thirteen.org/pressroom Web site: www.thirteen.org/sites/reel13 Twitter: @Reel13 Classic Love Stories Featured on Reel 13 in February February’s slate of classic films on Reel 13 features three critically acclaimed love stories – all great box office winners in their day – and distinctly emblematic of their respective decades. Casablanca , one of the most seminal films of our time, and making its Reel 13 debut, leads the charge. Based on Murray Burnett and Joan Alison’s unproduced stage play “Everybody Comes to Rick’s,” the classic World War II-era film focuses on an American expatriate who must choose between his love for a woman and helping her Czech Resistance leader husband escape the Vichy-controlled city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis. The Humphrey Bogart , Ingrid Bergman , and Paul Henreid starrer was recognized with three Academy Awards including “Best Picture,” “Best Director,” and “Best Screenplay.” The lead characters, memorable lines and theme song (“As Time Goes By”) have become iconic and the film continuously tops the lists of the greatest films of all time. The romantic comedy Broadcast News , written, produced and directed by James L. Brooks, centers around a television news producer with daily emotional breakdowns, a prickly reporter, and the producer’s charismatic but far less seasoned rival. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including “Best Picture,” “Best Actor,” “Best Actress” and “Best Supporting Actor.” . The romantic comedy Four Weddings and a Funeral rounds out the month’s love story offerings.

  • Rogermichell | Featurefilmdirectors
    saville productions 489 Carroll Avenue Venice, CA 90291 T \ 310.828.1478 F \ 310.828.4147 rogermichell | featurefilmdirectors Roger Michell is an award-winning theater director whose venture into film and television has been equally successful. Roger’s film "Notting Hill" has become one of the highest grossing British films of all time. Roger was born in South Africa, but spent significant parts of his childhood in Beirut, Damascus, and Prague, since his father's job as a diplomat required the family to move often. While in England, he enrolled at Cambridge University, where he received considerable attention for his directing talents. After graduating from Cambridge, Roger moved to London and began an apprenticeship at the Royal Court Theatre. During this time, he was living hand-to-mouth in a rundown section of town, but he was gaining invaluable experience acting as assistant director to noted British playwrights John Osborne and Samuel Beckett. Roger soon began writing and directing projects on his own. The most successful of these ventures was 1982's Private Dick, a comedy which won the Fringe First Award at the world famous Edinburgh Festival in Scotland. In 1985, Roger joined the Royal Shakespeare Company and was the Resident Director there for six years. During his tenure, he was nominated for the Drama Desk Award for directing the immensely popular Some Americans Abroad. After the Royal Shakespeare Company, Roger directed two miniseries and a documentary for British television before receiving his feature break directing the film adaptation of Jane Austin's novel Persuasion (1995.) Originally shown on BBC and later released by Columbia TriStar, the movie earned five BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards, including Best Drama.

  • The Artist This February 'Love Is in the Air' in the Library. What Better Way To
    This February ‘love is in the air’ in the library. What better way to enjoy Valentine’s Day than curled up on your couch watching a movie? From modern favourites to timeless classics, there are countless movies in the romance genre, so here at the Learning Curve we’re here to help you narrow them down. Get ready to laugh, cry, swoon, and everything in between with your favourite hunks, lovers, and heroines. Whether you're taking some ‘me time’ or cuddled up with that special someone, here at the library we have a great selection of DVDs. These can all be found on popular streaming services or borrowed from the library using our Click & Collect Service once lockdown is over. Be sure to have popcorn and tissues at the ready! The Artist Director: Michel Hazanavicius Actors: Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Penelope Ann Miller The Artist is a love letter and homage to classic black-and-white silent films. The film is enormously likable and is anchored by a charming performance from Jean Dujardin, as silent movie star George Valentin. In late-1920s Hollywood, as Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he makes an intense connection with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break. As one career declines, another flourishes, and by channelling elements of A Star Is Born and Singing in the Rain, The Artist tells the engaging story with humour, melodrama, romance, and--most importantly--silence. As wonderful as the performances by Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo (Miller) are, the real star of The Artist is cinematographer Guillaume Schiffman.

  • Analyze This
    Analyze This Dir: Harold Ramis, USA, 1999 A review by George Larke, University of Sunderland It's parody time again for the gangster genre. Just in case we were tempted into taking the films too seriously, we are reminded that the cinematic gangster and his surroundings are essentially cliché forms. Analyze This, directed by Harold Ramis and starring Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal, takes the post-classical fashion of masculine angst popular in the gangster film from The Godfather (1972) to Donnie Brasco (1995) and mercilessly laughs at it. Ramis, who previously directed another comedy success, Groundhog Day (1993), wrote the script along with Peter Tolan and Kenneth Lonergan. At first glance, the film invites comparison to another gangster parody, Mad Dog and Glory (1993) wherein De Niro played against type, as the "nobody" schmuck, while Bill Murray played the mobster. That film did not work very well. De Niro cannot play the schmuck opposite a comedy gangster it stretches imagination and parody too far. For Analyze This, switching the roles and replacing Murray with Billy Crystal has produced a more fitting character balance. Mob boss, Paul Vitti (De Niro), is suffering from a severe case of "work-related stress". The biggest meeting of New York crime bosses since the Appalachian gathering of 1957 is imminent. He's just witnessed the assassination of one of his best friends and certain associates are suggesting he was involved in ordering it. The panic attacks are getting worse and it's affecting his work in a set-piece interrogation and assassination scene he cannot pull the trigger, much to his henchman's and, more pointedly, the victim's disgust.
