  • Film Essay for "Mccabe & Mrs. Miller"
    McCabe & Mrs. Miller By Chelsea Wessels In a 1971 interview, Robert Altman describes the story of “McCabe & Mrs. Miller” as “the most ordinary common western that’s ever been told. It’s eve- ry event, every character, every west- ern you’ve ever seen.”1 And yet, the resulting film is no ordinary western: from its Pacific Northwest setting to characters like “Pudgy” McCabe (played by Warren Beatty), the gun- fighter and gambler turned business- man who isn’t particularly skilled at any of his occupations. In “McCabe & Mrs. Miller,” Altman’s impressionistic style revises western events and char- acters in such a way that the film re- flects on history, industry, and genre from an entirely new perspective. Mrs. Miller (Julie Christie) and saloon owner McCabe (Warren Beatty) swap ideas for striking it rich. Courtesy Library of Congress Collection. The opening of the film sets the tone for this revision: Leonard Cohen sings mournfully as the when a mining company offers to buy him out and camera tracks across a wooded landscape to a lone Mrs. Miller is ultimately a captive to his choices, una- rider, hunched against the misty rain. As the unidenti- ble (and perhaps unwilling) to save McCabe from his fied rider arrives at the settlement of Presbyterian own insecurities and herself from her opium addic- Church (not much more than a few shacks and an tion. The nuances of these characters, and the per- unfinished church), the trees practically suffocate the formances by Beatty and Julie Christie, build greater frame and close off the landscape.

  • Smoothing the Wrinkles Hollywood, “Successful Aging” and the New Visibility of Older Female Stars Josephine Dolan
    Template: Royal A, Font: , Date: 07/09/2013; 3B2 version: 9.1.406/W Unicode (May 24 2007) (APS_OT) Dir: //integrafs1/kcg/2-Pagination/TandF/GEN_RAPS/ApplicationFiles/9780415527699.3d 31 Smoothing the wrinkles Hollywood, “successful aging” and the new visibility of older female stars Josephine Dolan For decades, feminist scholarship has consistently critiqued the patriarchal underpinnings of Hollywood’s relationship with women, in terms of both its industrial practices and its representational systems. During its pioneering era, Hollywood was dominated by women who occupied every aspect of the filmmaking process, both off and on screen; but the consolidation of the studio system in the 1920s and 1930s served to reduce the scope of opportunities for women working in off-screen roles. Off screen, a pattern of gendered employment was effectively established, one that continues to confine women to so-called “feminine” crafts such as scriptwriting and costume. Celebrated exceptions like Ida Lupino, Dorothy Arzner, Norah Ephron, Nancy Meyers, and Katherine Bigelow have found various ways to succeed as producers and directors in Hollywood’s continuing male-dominated culture. More typically, as recently as 2011, “women comprised only 18% of directors, executive producers, cinematographers and editors working on the top 250 domestic grossing films” (Lauzen 2012: 1). At the same time, on-screen representations came to be increasingly predicated on a gendered star system that privileges hetero-masculine desires, and are dominated by historically specific discourses of idealized and fetishized feminine beauty that, in turn, severely limit the number and types of roles available to women. As far back as 1973 Molly Haskell observed that the elision of beauty and youth that underpins Hollywood casting impacted upon the professional longevity of female stars, who, at the first visible signs of aging, were deemed “too old or over-ripe for a part,” except as a marginalized mother or older sister.

  • Dvds- When Meryl Streep Still Astonished | Evernote
    12/16/2015 DVDs: When Meryl Streep Still Astonished | Evernote Web DVDs: When Meryl Streep Still Astonished DVDs: When Meryl Streep Still Astonished One can always count on Criterion. They've returned The Black Stallion -- one of the best looking films of all time -- to its full glory. And by giving its stamp of approval to The French Lieutenant's Woman, they've reminded us both of the film itself (which has slipped off the radar a bit) and the remarkable career of Meryl Streep. They're two of the best releases of this TV-heavy week. THE FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN ($39.95 BluRay; Criterion) FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD ($39.99 BluRay; Fox) THE BLACK STALLION ($39.95 BluRay; Criterion) Remember when we didn't take Meryl Streep for granted? Remember when her receiving Oscar nomination after nomination wasn't a punchline but the only sane thing that could happen for anyone who appreciated great acting? Remember when Meryl Streep still astonished? Yes, it's hard to remember such a time. But that was certainly the case back in 1981. Streep was just beginning really, but she'd already developed an impressive body of work. Not only did she star in the landmark, Emmy winning miniseries Holocaust (which to this day is not available in its original broadcast length!), Streep had also acted in Julia (which was nominated for eleven Academy Awards), The Deer Hunter (winner of five Oscars including Best Picture and the source of her first Oscar nomination), Woody Allen's Manhattan and Kramer Vs. Kramer (which won five Oscars including Best Picture and Streep's first win for best supporting actress).

  • Moma Sally Potter
    MoMA CELEBRATES FOUR-DECADE CAREER OF SALLY POTTER WITH A TWO- WEEK RETROSPECTIVE OF HER DIVERSE, INDEPENDENT FILMS Exhibition Includes the Premiere of Potter’s Digitally Remastered Film, Orlando (1992), and Her Most Recent Feature, RAGE (2009) Sally Potter July 7–21, 2010 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, June 8, 2010—A retrospective of the films of British director Sally Potter (b. 1949) at The Museum of Modern Art from July 7 through 21, 2010, celebrates her distinct, independent vision, showing all her feature films, documentaries, and shorts, and a selection of her experimental works made between the early 1970s and the present. Potter has consistently kept a radical edge in her filmmaking work, beginning with avant-garde short films and moving on to alternative dramatic features that embrace music, literature, dance, theater, and performance. Potter typically works on multiple elements of her films, from script and direction to sound design, editing, performance, and production. Her films elegantly blend poetry and politics, giving voice to women’s stories and romantic liaisons and exploring themes of desire and passion, self- expression, and the role of the individual in society. Considered together in this retrospective, Potter’s films reveal the common thread of transformation that runs through her work—in terms both of her characters’ journeys and her own ability to transcend genre and work with cutting- edge film forms. Sally Potter is organized by Sally Berger, Assistant Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. The opening night, Wednesday, July 7, at 8:00 p.m., is the U.S.

AWAY FROM HER is a beautifully moving love story that deals with memory and the circuitous, unnamable paths of a long marriage. Married for 50 years, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona’s (Julie Christie) commitment to each other appears unwavering, and their everyday life is full of tenderness and humour. This serenity is broken only by the occasional, carefully restrained reference to the past, giving a sense that this marriage may not always have been such a fairy tale. This tendency of Fiona’s to make such references, along with her increasingly evident memory loss, creates a tension that is usually brushed off casually by both of them. As the lapses become more obvious and dramatic, it is no longer possible for either of them to ignore the fact that Fiona is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, Fiona decides that it is time for her to enter into Meadowlake, a retirement home that specializes in the disease.
