  • Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
    Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead by Richard Combs ‘Last acts’ in the cinema can be a precarious business. Not just because film‐makers approaching the end of their careers may be beset by problems of failing health, failing inspiration or failing insurance, but because all the pitfalls of the movie business can make last acts as fragile an undertaking as first acts. Are we justified, then, in thinking that the last film a director makes – or a near‐to‐last film – will necessarily constitute a final statement, a summing up, a gathering together of the artistic experience of a lifetime in one culminating vision? In many cases, obviously not – last films can be as ad hoc, compromised, and a fortuitous grasping of commercial opportunity as a film made at any other stage of a career. But we persist in hoping that the culminating vision comes through. It’s the superstitious feeling that might gather round what anyone (even a film critic) suspects could be their final act, or a getting‐close‐to‐the‐end act: the hope that it will contain something special and retroactively confer significance and coherence on a lifetime of similar but helplessly scattered acts. First, an accounting of this terminal accounting. Only nine of the 19 films in our season were actually the last films made by their directors. The other 10 were followed by one, two, or – in the case of D.W. Griffith – something like a dozen films before their makers were done with the movies, or – again in Griffith’s case – the movies were done with them.

  • GAUMONT PRESENTS: a CENTURY of FRENCH CINEMA, on View Through April 14, Includes Fifty Programs of Films Made from 1900 to the Present
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release January 1994 GAUNONT PRESENTS: A CENTURY OF FRENCH CINEMA January 28 - April 14, 1994 A retrospective tracing the history of French cinema through films produced by Gaumont, the world's oldest movie studio, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on January 28, 1994. GAUMONT PRESENTS: A CENTURY OF FRENCH CINEMA, on view through April 14, includes fifty programs of films made from 1900 to the present. All of the films are recently restored, and new 35mm prints were struck especially for the exhibition. Virtually all of the sound films feature new English subtitles as well. A selection of Gaumont newsreels [actualites) accompany the films made prior to 1942. The exhibition opens with the American premiere of Bertrand Blier's Un deux trois soleil (1993), starring Marcello Mastroianni and Anouk Grinberg, on Friday, January 28, at 7:30 p.m. A major discovery of the series is the work of Alice Guy-Blache, the film industry's first woman producer and director. She began making films as early as 1896, and in 1906 experimented with sound, using popular singers of the day. Her film Sur la Barricade (1906), about the Paris Commune, is featured in the series. Other important directors whose works are included in the exhibition are among Gaumont's earliest filmmakers: the pioneer animator and master of trick photography Emile Cohl; the surreal comic director Jean Durand; the inventive Louis Feuillade, who went on to make such classic serials as Les Vampires (1915) and Judex (1917), both of which are shown in their entirety; and Leonce Perret, an outstanding early realistic narrative filmmaker.

  • A Mode of Production and Distribution
    Chapter Three A Mode of Production and Distribution An Economic Concept: “The Small Budget Film,” Was it Myth or Reality? t has often been assumed that the New Wave provoked a sudden Ibreak in the production practices of French cinema, by favoring small budget films. In an industry characterized by an inflationary spiral of ever-increasing production costs, this phenomenon is sufficiently original to warrant investigation. Did most of the films considered to be part of this movement correspond to this notion of a small budget? We would first have to ask: what, in 1959, was a “small budget” movie? The average cost of a film increased from roughly $218,000 in 1955 to $300,000 in 1959. That year, at the moment of the emergence of the New Wave, 133 French films were produced; of these, 33 cost more than $400,000 and 74 cost more than $200,000. That leaves 26 films with a budget of less than $200,000, or “low budget productions;” however, that can hardly be used as an adequate criterion for movies to qualify as “New Wave.”1 Even so, this budgetary trait has often been employed to establish a genealogy for the movement. It involves, primarily, “marginal” films produced outside the dominant commercial system. Two Small Budget Films, “Outside the System” From the point of view of their mode of production, two titles are often imposed as reference points: Jean-Pierre Melville’s self-produced Silence of 49 A Mode of Production and Distribution the Sea, 1947, and Agnes Varda’s La Pointe courte (Short Point), made seven years later, in 1954.
