  • Patricia Highsmith's Queer Disruption: Subverting Gay Tragedy in the 1950S
    Patricia Highsmith’s Queer Disruption: Subverting Gay Tragedy in the 1950s By Charlotte Findlay A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Literature Victoria University of Wellington 2019 ii iii Contents Acknowledgements ………………………………………………………………..……………..iv Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………………v Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………..1 1: Rejoicing in Evil: Queer Ambiguity and Amorality in The Talented Mr Ripley …………..…14 2: “Don’t Do That in Public”: Finding Space for Lesbians in The Price of Salt…………………44 Conclusion ...…………………………………………………………………………………….80 Works Cited …………..…………………………………………………………………………83 iv Acknowledgements Thanks to my supervisor, Jane Stafford, for providing always excellent advice, for helping me clarify my ideas by pointing out which bits of my drafts were in fact good, and for making the whole process surprisingly painless. Thanks to Mum and Tony, for keeping me functional for the last few months (I am sure all the salad improved my writing immensely.) And last but not least, thanks to the ladies of 804 for the support, gossip, pad thai, and niche literary humour I doubt anybody else would appreciate. I hope your year has been as good as mine. v Abstract Published in a time when tragedy was pervasive in gay literature, Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price of Salt, published later as Carol, was the first lesbian novel with a happy ending. It was unusual for depicting lesbians as sympathetic, ordinary women, whose sexuality did not consign them to a life of misery. The novel criticises how 1950s American society worked to suppress lesbianism and women’s agency. It also refuses to let that suppression succeed by giving its lesbian couple a future together.

It only looks like it the Coca Cola Film Festival if you read it too fast. September 3, 2019 Critic's Picks: A September To-Do List for Film Buffs in L.A Alain Delon in 'Purple Moon' (1960) A classic lesbian drama, French noirs starring Alain Delon and Jean Gabin and a series of matinees devoted to Katharine Hepburn are among the plentiful vintage and classic options for SoCal film buffs this month. OLIVIA AT THE LAEMMLE ROYAL | 11523 Santa Monica Blvd. Already underway and screening daily through Sept. 5 at the Laemmle Royal is a new digital restoration of Jacqueline Audry’s trailblazing 1951 feature Olivia, one of the first films, French or otherwise, to deal with female homosexuality. Set in a 19th-century Parisian finishing school for girls, the film depicts the struggle between two head mistresses (Edwige Feuillere and Simone Simon) for the affection of their students, and how one girl’s (Marie-Claire Olivia) romantic urges stir jealousy in the house. Audry, one of the key female filmmakers of post-World War II France, stages this feverish chamber drama (based on a novel by the English writer Dorothy Bussy) with a delicate yet incisive touch, allowing the story’s implicit sensuality to simmer ominously without boiling over into undue hysterics. Lesbian dramas would soon become more explicit, but few have matched Olivia’s unique combination of elegance and eroticism.

Suddenly the power goes out; no one knows why. No electricity, no gasoline. Their solar power system isn’t working. Over the following days, the radio reports a thousand theories: technical breakdowns, terrorism, disease and uncontrolled violence across the continent. Then, one day, the radio stops broadcasting. Absolute silence. Step by ominous step, everything that Nell, a would-be academic, and Eva, a hard working contemporary dancer, have come to rely on is stripped away: parental protection, information, food, safety, friends, lovers, music -- all gone. They are faced with a world where rumor is the only guide, trust is a scarce commodity, gas is king and loneliness is excruciating. To battle starvation, invasion and despair, Nell and Eva fall deeper into a primitive life that tests their endurance and bond. Ultimately, the sisters must work together to survive and learn to discover what the earth will provide.

    CINERGIE il cinema e le altre arti 9 RECENSIONI 2015 New York Film Festival The Biographical Impulse The centerpiece of the 53rd New York Film Festival (September 25–October 11) was Danny Boyle’s biopic Steve Jobs, a Universal Pictures release, starring Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet. This feature deals with the entrepreneur who launched the fi rst Macintosh, the NeXT work station, and the iMac. On the strength of this and other great selections, the 2015 NYFF demonstrated a biographical impulse in today’s cinema which is worth commenting upon, and possibly explaining. With the expression “biographical impulse,” I mean that it is as if the recent cinema of the 21st century had decided to tell the life story of its photographic, analogical predecessor by devoting fi ction and nonfi ction productions to the biography of the cinema itself. Closing night, for instance, was graced by Miles Ahead. Written, directed, and interpreted by Don Cheadle, it is a wonderful biopic of trumpeter Miles Davis (1926–1991). Although the narrative focuses on the 1970s, it explores how the musician invented his artistic persona. When he started the era of “cool jazz,” Miles Davis was also one of the fi rst sounds of the incipient French Nouvelle Vague. How can anyone forget Louis Malle’s Ascenseur pour l’échafaud / Elevator to the Gallows (1958), with Jeanne Moreau walking alone and wondering where her lover might be? Miles Davis happened to be in Paris when Malle was going through the rushes of Moreau’s nocturnal walk. The young Malle, a former assistant of Jacques Cousteau during the oceanographer’s expeditions on his legendary Calypso, invited the young Davis to play his trumpet and improvise in front of the screen.
