The United Kingdom c. Austria d. Spain Introduction to Moulin Rouge ! (Paragraph I) Moulin Rouge (French for "red mill") is a traditional cabaret, built in 1889 by Joseph Oller who already owned the Paris Olympia. Situated in the red-light district of Pigalle on Boulevard de Clichy in the 18th arrondissement, near Montmartre, Paris, France, it is famous for the large red imitation windmill on its roof. The Moulin Rouge is a symbol of French Culture as well as the Bohemian influence. Over the past hundred years, the Moulin Rouge has remained a popular tourist destination for many visitors each year. Today it offers musical dance entertainment for adult visitors from around the world. Much of the romance from turn-of-the-century France is still present in the interior environment. The design and name of Paris's Moulin Rouge has often been imitated by other night clubs worldwide. (Paragraph II) Notable performers at the Moulin Rouge have included La Goulue, Josephine Baker, Frank Sinatra, Yvette Guilbert, Jane Avril, Mistinguett, Le Pétomane, Edith Piaf and others. The Moulin Rouge was also the subject of many paintings by post- impressionist painter Toulouse Lautrec who in turn romanticized the building. (Paragraph III) "Moulin Rouge" was also the title of a book by Pierre La Mure. This book was the basis for the 1952 movie of the same name. It was also the name of the 2001 film Moulin Rouge! starring Jim Broadbent, Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidman, John Leguizamo and Kylie Minogue. Both films were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, but neither won the award. Subheading I_____________ (Paragraph IV) Andrey Bely wrote in his 1906 letter to Alexander Blok about the Tavern of Hell at Moulin Rouge, where lackeys were dressed as devils: (Paragraph V) “ Sometimes I would venture from my sepulchre to the jazz of night Paris, where having gathered the colours, I would think them over in front of the fire. I could be seen walking through a funeral corridor of my house and descending down a black spiral of steep stairs; rushing underground to Montmartre, all impatience to see the fiery rubies of the Moulin Rouge cross. I wondered thereabouts, then bought a ticket to watch frenzied delirium of feathers, vulgar painted lips and eyelashes of black and blue. Naked feet, and thighs, and arms, and breasts were being flung on me from bloody-red foam of translucent clothes. The tuxedoed goatees and crooked noses in white vests and toppers would line the hall, with their hands posed on canes. Then I found myself in a pub, where the liqueurs were served on a coffin (not a table) by the nickering devil: "Drink it, you wretched!" Having drunk, I returned under the black sky split by the flaming vanes, which the radiant needles of my eyelashes cross-hatched. In front of my nose a stream of bowler hats and black veils was still pulsing, foamy with bluish green and warm orange of feathers worn by the night beauties: to me they were all one, as I had to narrow my eyes for insupportable radiance of electric lamps, whose hectic fires would be dancing beneath my nervous eyelids for many a night to come.” Moulin Rouge ! (Paragraph VI) 2001 Academy Award winning musical film directed by Baz Luhrmann. It tells the story of a young British poet/writer, Christian, who falls in love with the star of the Moulin Rouge cabaret, actress and courtesan, Satine. It uses the colourful musical setting of the Montmartre Quarter of Paris, France. Some plot details, specifically the poor artist and his dying lover, bear relation to the Giacomo Puccini opera La bohème (which Luhrmann has also directed several times), including references to the "Bohemian" subculture. Otherwise, the plot greatly resembles that of Giuseppe Verdi's opera La traviata, especially the end. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Academy Award for Best Actress for Nicole Kidman, but won only the Academy Award for Best Costume Design and the Academy Award for Best Art Direction. It was shot entirely at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia. Baz Luhrmann is said to have been inspired to make the movie after watching Dil Se (1998) by director Mani Ratnam.Five other movies with the title Moulin Rouge have been made. (Paragraph VII) Due to the film's international success, it has been widely credited with revitalizing the musical genre, setting the stage for films such as Chicago, Rent and The Phantom of the Opera. Subheading II_____________ (Paragraph VIII) Moulin Rouge! is a cinematic opera that has a storyline and structure that is said to be inspired and influenced largely by Italian grand opera: exuberant music, colourful visuals, elaborate sets and costumes. It also has some elements of Bollywood films such as a simple story line with a simple conflict, a heroine with melodramatic disease and two-dimensional characters, with the added touch of an India-inspired and very "Bollywood-style" play within a play, "Spectacular Spectacular." In addition to the Bollywood influence, Baz Luhrmann has revealed in the DVD's voice-over commentary that he drew from the ancient Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. (Paragraph IX) Orpheus was a musical genius far surpassing anyone in his world; the film- makers chose to replicate this by using songs from the mid-to-late 20th century, several decades after the 1900 setting. In this way, Christian would appear to the other characters to be an innovative musician and writer. (Paragraph X) The film takes well-known popular songs and modifies them to fit into a tale of a turn-of-the-20th-century Paris cabaret, blending swirling camera motion, loud music, and dancing to a powerful effect. Some of the songs it samples include "Chamma Chamma" from the Hindi movie China Gate, David Bowie's rendition of the Eden Ahbez jazz standard "Nature Boy", "Lady Marmalade" by LaBelle (the Christina Aguilera/P!nk/Mýa/Lil’ Kim cover having been commissioned for this film), Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and "Material Girl", the titular song of "The Sound of Music", and one of the few film uses of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. The film uses so much popular music that it took Baz Luhrmann almost two years to secure all the rights to the songs. Principal cast • Nicole Kidman as Satine • Ewan McGregor as Christian • Jim Broadbent as Harold Zidler • Richard Roxburgh as The Duke • John Leguizamo as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Subheading III_____________ (Paragraph XI) The theme of the movie is love and its age-old conflict with wealth, materialism and jealousy. The main character, Christian (Ewan McGregor), is an English poet/writer who comes to Paris at the height of the Bohemian movement— a city of artists, parties, and absinthe. He falls in love with the principal singer of the Moulin Rouge cabaret, Satine (Nicole Kidman), who unknowingly suffers from a terminal case of consumption. (Paragraph XII) Satine is a worldly and beautiful courtesan who lives by the theme "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend"—it is better (and/or safer and more secure) to have money than love—but she dreams of becoming a real actress. Through mistaken identity, Satine believes (Paragraph XIII) Christian is a wealthy and powerful Duke who will invest in the cabaret's new show, keep everyone employed, and make her a star. While meeting him in the Elephant Room for a tryst to seal the deal, Satine is at first taken with Christian's poetry (a version of Elton John's "Your Song") but is shocked to realize he's actually a penniless Bohemian poet. The real Duke arrives and catches them together. Christian's quick wit and Satine's charm fool the Duke into believing that they were rehearsing their new show, "Spectacular Spectacular." Christian, with the help of Satine and the Bohemians, quickly improvises the show's plot: an Indian-themed musical spectacular (a story within a story whose plot turns out identical to the movie's). The Duke is impressed and agrees to support the show, but he quickly reveals that he is a violently jealous man who will shut down the Moulin Rouge if he does not get Satine exclusively to himself. Nevertheless, he accepts that she will be busy with rehearsals and in close contact with Christian, the writer. (Paragraph XIV) Christian and Satine fall madly in love, while Harold Zidler, the Moulin Rouge's manager and a father figure to Satine, struggles to keep the Duke interested in the show even though Satine has not yet spent the night with him. At length, the Duke realizes he is being cuckolded, tries to take Satine by force, and threatens to kill Christian. Satine, at Zidler's urging, tells Christian she never loved him, hoping he will leave town and escape the Duke's wrath. (Paragraph XV) At the show's debut, Satine, now aware that she has quite little time to live, performs a weary version of "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend." An angry and hurt Christian takes the place of the show's hero, throws money at her feet, declaring, "I've paid my whore," and storms off publicly. Although dying and fearing for his life, Satine successfully calls him back by singing "the Lovers' Secret Song," and they are reconciled in full view of the audience and the Duke.

    Quaderns. Rev. trad. 16, 2009 75-86 Ferran Canyameres, la creació de l’editorial Albor i la «fàbrica» Simenon Xavier Pla Universitat de Girona Facultat de Lletres Plaça Ferrater Mora, 1. 17071 Girona [email protected] Resum En plena ocupació alemanya de França, amb la intel·lectualitat catalana fraccionada entre els escriptors de l’interior i els de l’exili, i aquests últims encara repartits entre els diversos països que van acollir la diàspora republicana, l’escriptor Ferran Canyameres va tenir la idea de crear una editorial popular per acostar al public lector de Catalunya l’obra de l’inoblidable creador del comissari Maigret. Paraules clau: literatura catalana, exili francès, traducció, novel·la detectivesca, Ferran Canyameres, Georges Simenon. Abstract With France occupied by Nazi Germany and Catalonia’s intellectuals fragmented, with some writers at home and others scattered in exile across the globe in countries that welcomed the Republican diaspora, Ferran Canyameres decided to create a publishing house to enable Catalan readers to discover the unforgettable works of the author who created Inspector Maigret. Key words: Catalan literature in exile in France, translation, detective novel, Ferran Canyameres, Georges Simenon. A l’hora de parlar de la traducció i de l’exili, un nom s’imposa de seguida: el de Ferran Canyameres. Nascut a Terrassa el 1898 i mort a Barcelona el 1964, Canyameres va ser poeta, novel·lista, memorialista, editor, promotor cultural, entre moltes altres activitats. Autor de l’impressionant Diari íntim, un dels millors die- taris mai escrits en català, i del també impactant recull de narracions Món, dimoni i carn, potser el nom de Canyameres ressona encara amb més força perquè també és l’autor d’El gran sapastre, publicat pòstumament el 1977, un del llibres més divertits de la literatura catalana contemporània.

Ce dernier l’emmène avec lui dans un village près de Bilbao. Maltraité par les paysans qui veulent lui blanchir la peau, Rafael s’enfuit. Il s’engage comme domestique au service d’un clown anglais (Tony Grice) qui vient de signer un contrat au Nouveau Cirque, l’une des salles de spectacle les plus prestigieuses de Paris, dont la piste se transforme en piscine à la fin de chaque représentation. En 1888, deux ans après son arrivée dans la capitale, Rafael est choisi pour jouer le rôle principal dans une grande pantomime nautique.

    P a g e | 1 Jean-Jacques Meusy, Paris-Palaces ou le temps des cinémas, 1894-1918, CNRS Editions, 1997 P a g e | 2 1896 : L’Expansion Dès janvier 1986, Louis Lumière demande à l’ingénieur Jules Carpentier de lancer une construction de 100 à 200 cinématographes. Expansion large car on la pense rapide et brève. L’appareil est présenté en province, à l’étranger. Des salles s’ouvrent à Lyon (25 janvier), St-Pétersbourg (19 mai)… Les Lumière engagent très vite des opérateurs. Contrat de 6 mois renouvelable. Métier de forain comme le rappelle Louis à Félix Mesguich. En juin, ce dernier présente l’appareil en Amérique, 2 mois après le Vitascope d’Edison. Pour arriver à cette diffusion aussi rapide, la société s’appuie sur un réseau qui existe déjà. A Paris, on recherche des salles supplémentaires pour étendre l’audience. I. Nouveaux lieux boulevardiers L’Olympia, 28 Boulevard des Capucines. Etablissement de Joseph Oller. Au 1er étage, Antoine Lumière loue une ancienne salle de billard (mars 1896). L’exploitation dure à peu près 4 mois. L’Eldorado : le cinématographe s’y installe en mars pour 5 semaines comme seconde partie de spectacle à 22h. En avril, les représentations débutent dès l’après-midi. II. Le cinématographe Lumière n’est plus seul ! La concurrence apparaît dès 1896 : Théâtre Isola, 39 Boulevard des Capucines : presque en face du Grand Café et de l’Olympia. Salle exploitée par les 2 frères Isola, Vincent et Emile, venus en 1880 d’Algérie. Passé de menuisiers, deviennent prestidigitateurs aux Folies-Bergères en 1886.
