  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).

  • Ken Russell – 2001
    KEN RUSSELL Nato il 3 luglio 1927 a Southampton, Hampshire, in Gran Bretagna, Ken Russell è davvero il ‘ragazzaccio’ del cinema inglese; i suoi fallimenti sono spesso più interessanti dei successi della maggior parte dei registi. La sua propensione per il bizzarro e l’eccessivo si è rivelata ben presto nella sua carriera, con la sua serie di biografie per la BBC su Debussy e Isadora Duncan. Russell ha esordito come regista cinematografico nel 1963 con French Dressing e successivamente ha diretto lo spy thriller Il cervello da un miliardo di dollari (1967, forse il suo film più convenzionale). Il suo terzo film, nel 1969, stato un adattamento sessualmente vivido ma (per i suoi canoni) abbastanza freddo di‘Women in love di D. H. Lawrence, che gli è valso una nomination agli Oscar e il plauso internazionale. E che gli ha anche dato la libertà di sbizzarrirsi con alcune singolari pseudobiografie come L’altra faccia dell’amore (1971), Messia selvaggio (1972), La perdizione (1974), Lisztomania (1975) e Valentino (1977), e di mostrare una strana sorta di versatilità nel 1971, passando dallo ‘scandaloso’I Diavoli a Il boy friend un omaggio ai musical degli anni ‘30. Nel 1975 si è dedicato all’opera rock degli Who Tommy dando al progetto il suo tocco personale: bisogna vedere una scena con Ann-Margaret per crederci. Ha avuto un forte successo commerciale in America con Stati di Allucinazione nel 1980, dopo il quale è tornato ai budget ridotti e ai suoi progetti personali con certi titoli brillanti come China Blue (1984), Gothic (1986), L’ultima Salomè e la commedia horror cult La tana del serpente bianco (entrambi del 1988).

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 7 DE-6 (3/81) ii ABSTRACT All eight feature films (1965-1981) of John Boorman were viewed and analyzed according to Auteur Theory. The recondite themes and motifs found throughout his work revealed a preoccupationwwith character and events in the Grail legend. Thematically, Boorman's rendering of the Arthurian protagonist revealed him in the modern context of the private eye, the soldier, the defrocked priest, the displaced aristocrat, and the wilderness adventurer. Merlin figures, and women figures intrinsic to the Grail legend appear in all his work. Aesthetically Boorman's feature films are veiled allegories of the Arthurian quest.
