  • Juno Talent: Ellen Page, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Alison Janney, J. K. Simmons, Olivia Thirlby. Date Of
    Juno Talent: Ellen Page, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Alison Janney, J. K. Simmons, Olivia Thirlby. Date of review: Thursday 13th December, 2007 Director: Jason Reitman Duration: 91 minutes Classification: M We rate it: 4 and a half stars. Jason Reitman, son of ultra-mainstream (and very successful) Hollywood director Ivan Reitman (he of Ghostbusters, Stripes and Kindergarten Cop fame) may just be able to move out from under his father’s significant shadow with this wonderful film. Jason Reitman’s breakthrough film as a director was 2005’s Thank You for Smoking, a cleverly written and very well performed black comedy that was so well pulled-off that one felt in the presence of promising new talent. It seems that feeling was correct, because with Juno, a very different film to its predecessor, Reitman has made an utterly assured and charming comedy/drama, and has drawn tremendously convincing and engaging performances from the entire cast. The talented young actress Ellen Page (who was so memorable in the confronting thriller Hard Candy) plays the titular character, an intelligent, articulate, out-of-left- field high-school student who, as our story opens, finds herself pregnant to her close friend and would-be boyfriend, Bleeker. Being smart, strong and self-possessed, Juno confronts her situation level-headedly, and decides, on reflection, that she will go through with the pregnancy and offer her child for adoption to a couple who are unable to conceive. With the support of her family - stepmother Bren (the wonderful Alison Janney) and father Mac (the ever-humourous J.

  • Jessica Lange Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Jessica Lange Regis Dialogue with Molly Haskell, 1997 Bruce Jenkins: Let me say that these dialogues have for the better part of this decade focused on that part of cinema devoted to narrative or dramatic filmmaking, and we've had evenings with actors, directors, cinematographers, and I would say really especially with those performers that we identify with the cutting edge of narrative filmmaking. In describing tonight's guest, Molly Haskell spoke of a creative artist who not only did a sizeable number of important projects but more importantly, did the projects that she herself wanted to see made. The same I think can be said about Molly Haskell. She began in the 1960s working in New York for the French Film Office at that point where the French New Wave needed a promoter and a writer and a translator. She eventually wrote the landmark book From Reverence to Rape on women in cinema from 1973 and republished in 1987, and did sizable stints as the film reviewer for Vogue magazine, The Village Voice, New York magazine, New York Observer, and more recently, for On the Issues. Her most recent book, Holding My Own in No Man's Land, contains her last two decades' worth of writing. I'm please to say it's in the Walker bookstore, as well. Our other guest tonight needs no introduction here in the Twin Cities nor in Cloquet, Minnesota, nor would I say anyplace in the world that motion pictures are watched and cherished. She's an internationally recognized star, but she's really a unique star.

  • The New Order of Hitler: Virtual History, Fiction and Myth
    DEBATER A EUROPA Periódico do CIEDA e do CEIS20 , em parceria com GPE e a RCE. N.13 julho/dezembro 2015 – Semestral ISSN 1647-6336 Disponível em: http://www.europe-direct-aveiro.aeva.eu/debatereuropa/ The New Order of Hitler: Virtual History, Fiction and Myth Sérgio Neto Researcher of CEIS20, University of Coimbra E-mail: [email protected] Abstract At the intersection of counterfactual Historiography and literary fantasy, the triumph of the Axis powers in World War II has been one of the main issues. The resurgence of a hypothetical IV Reich also results extensive. Similarly, cinema has not failed to go over the old question of “if”. This article intent to analyse some virtual literature and historical works of reference about the New European Order in order to discuss possible inspiration that science awoke this genre and concepts revolving around the revisionism and determinism. Keywords: New European Order; Counterfactuals; Dystopia; Historiography; Fantasy When the German army completed the conquest of Poland in September 1939 the New European Order began to take shape. The euphemistic name of that brutal military occupation was in fact more incisive than the name given to the Japanese occupied areas: Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere 1. But, the main issue was if Hitler’s projects achieved in a few years the degree of dehumanization promised by the propaganda with the so called Reich of a Thousand Years. Based on the assumptions outlined by Mein Kampf , as well as the improvisations made during the course of the war, the dreams and fantasies of world domination were analysed not only by the historiography, but widely widespread by the alternate story genre.

Fassbinder, Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog, Terry Malick, Ermanno Ohni, Jacques Rivette and Martin Scorsese. He was an author of books on Jean-Marie Straub, Jean-Luc Godard, Max Ophuls, and Henri Langlois, as well as the editor of CINEMA: A CRITICAL DICTIONARY. In addition, Mr. Roud wrote extensive criticism on film, the theater and other visual arts for The Manchester Guardian and Sight and Sound and was an occasional contributor to many other publications.

  • What Characters Learn and What They Never Will
    What characters learn and what they never will This session was written by Lucy for The Script Factory’s I © screenwriting course presented at BFI Southbank, June 2013. The teaching points in this lecture are mostly illustrated with reference to the following four films: Argo (dir. Ben Affleck, scr. Chris Terrio, 2012) Sightseers (dir. Ben Wheatley, scr. Alice Lowe & Steve Oram, 2012) Up in the Air (dir. Jason Reitman, scr. Jason Reitman & Sheldon Turner, 2009) Animal Kingdom (dir./scr. David Michod, 2010) Screenwriting lore dictates that characters should learn life-improving lessons through their experiences. Pardon our French, but that’s bullsh*t! In many films the external challenges the character faces are so great that it’s imperative that they are equipped with the necessary attributes to tackle those obstacles from the outset. In other movies the characters remain obstinate despite what life throws at them and their inability to change is exactly what the film is about. This session examines how to chart convincing character journeys and, if your character does need to overcome a flawed attitude to life, how to ensure that the difference in whom they are at the beginning and end of the film is clearly marked. By far the most vital way that an audience literally gets on board with what’s at stake in a story is through the characters. This is because we generally go to see films in order to have an emotional experience. There are probably exceptions but, on the whole, we don’t buy tickets because we want to be educated, we are not hoping to improve our minds or learn a lesson – we are going to the cinema to have a vicarious experience through watching characters do stuff.

  • Michalis Peristerakis’S Life, Which Began in Naxos 73 Peristerakis Years Ago, Came to an End Prematurely
    Bruce Kent 8/10/06 11:05 PM Page 46 Bruce Kent, president of the International Peace Bureau, presents Mikis Peristerakis with a special award for his services to the peace movement, Athens, 2003. Bruce Kent 8/10/06 11:05 PM Page 47 47 Michalis The Marathon race of Michalis Peristerakis’s life, which began in Naxos 73 Peristerakis years ago, came to an end prematurely. An A last farewell emblematic figure in the Greek peace movement, with significant international activity, for which he was officially honoured by the International Peace Bureau, Mikis – as his international friends called Panos Trigazis him – passed away suddenly on 4 May Bruce Kent 2011, in his law office, from a heart attack. Colin Archer Those of us who walked with him many times from Marathon for a world without wars, hunger and enviromental degradation, or who protested against the ‘Euromissiles’ with Mikis in various European capitals, or who travelled with him to the opposite shore of the Aegean in support of ‘citizens’ diplomacy’ and friendship between the Greek and Turkish peoples, or who co- organised events with him in solidarity with Cyprus and Palestine, or who collaborated in demonstrations against the wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere – we all feel we have lost part of ourselves. ‘Uncompromising fighter and simul- taneously a deeply sensitive soul, a true fellow man,’ were the characteristic words of Professor G A Mangakis, a prominent anti- junta fighter and former justice minister, describing Peristerakis during an event at the Athens Bar Association in 2006, which his Panos Trigazis is friends and fellow peace activists had President of the Greek organised in his honour.
